He claimed to aerate and cool his milk down to a low te: verge of acidity, morning ! of his trouble, and still continue to milk with the that if he would aerate and cool thoroughly washed and boiling water before eight o'clock every marning, [ would be almost willing to guarantee the quality of his milk, He did so, and we had no trouble thereafter, with painstaking efforts it is sometimes vesy difficult to preserve milk quality for twelve or eighteen hours in hot weather. Many fly to ice and depend upon that solely, bat this does not necessarily imply good dariying. If one is possessed of § supply of ice it ig a valuable adjunct in thuse matters, but it should be used circumspectly. or an instance : Do not cool hot milk down suddenly with it, before the milk has been thoroughly aerated, With pure air surroundings and ex- cept in the most sultry and “muggy” weather, | have no fears of preserving milk quality without the help of ice. I would simply aerate it, and thus cool it at the same time, In exceptional instances of very hot nights, a deep pailful of cold well or ice water could be submerged in the can of milk after aeration, Usually, the flush of feed and flush of musk flow are coincident with our hot- test summer weather, and so it behooves dairymen to put forth every effort in { their power to reap the full benefit of this lacteal harvest by preserving their { milk's quality. —George E.

Tit-Bits, Protected Frogs’ Nests, There is a tree-frogy in Brazil that builds in the water a sort of fortifica- tion for its nest. Starting at the bot- tom of the pond it erects a circular, sube-like wall of mud, which, at the top, projects above the surface of the water and looks not unlike the crater of a miniatore volcano. In the water thus inclosed the eggs are laid, and when the little frogs are hatched they are protect- ed from their enemies until they are old enough to take care of themselves. In the meantime, it is said, the old frogs remain close by, as if on guard, - NOTES 2 lo ps Even Algeria is coming to the front matter of petroleum.
