This helps to keep foreign matter from the milk, Immediately after milking the milk to a =eparate room from the barn to be strained and cooled. Coul the milk to as low a temperature as possible without freezing. Forty or 50 degrees F. retards growth of mos! germs and particularly those that cause milk to sour quickly. In summer keep flies out of the barn and milk room. One fly may carry a: many as 100,000 gernis to the milk. These may be disease germs. Manure should not be allowed to accumulatc around the barn. It is for flies. The number of bacteria in milk de- pends largely upon cleanliness of milk- ing ard handling, temperature at which milk is kept and age of milk. Therefore clean milk. quick cooling and prompt delivery are very impor{nnt factors in producing pure dairy prod ucts. \ Lime is a good disinfectant and should be used liberally in the dair: barn.—V.

It is impossible to suggest auy ver; definite sheep barn plans without knowing under just what conditions the barn is to be built. In planning barns or sheds for a breeding flock of sheep a space of ten or twelve square feet per ewe will give sufficient room. The essentials of shelter for sheep are (1) dry floor, (2) good roof, (3) an abun dance of fresh air, (4) avoid drafts, (5) avoid narrow doors and passages so : ewe heavy with lamb will’ not he in jured, and (Gy provide sufficient feed ing trouzt @nace so all the sheep can eat at the same tims it Ha i i renjove a breeding place’ Mother’s Friend, JAYS e of ] RPP STEED o TAS 20 V.

Congress has overridden a veto by | President Wilson for the first time and enacted into law the immigration bill with its long-fought literacy test provision. The senate voted, 62 to 19, to pass the measure notwithstanding the veto and in spite of eleventh hour informa- | tion that Japan again had protested ! against the language of the Asiatic exclusion section. The house over- turned the veto last week by a vote of 287 to 106, so the senate’s action ends the contest of twenty years’ standing in which three presidents have repudiated similar bills passed by congress.

It bas few traces of what we call the south ern accent, resembling, rather, the pro- nunciation of an Irishman educated from boyhood in England, yet retain ing the faint trace of a brogue. The chief characteristic of the Vir ginian dialect is the famous and fas cinating localism which Professor C Alphonso Smith has called the *‘vanish. ing y’—a y sound which causes words like “car” apd “garden” to be pro- nounced “cyar” and ‘‘gyarden.” 1 am toid that in years gone by the “vanish- ing y° was common to all Virginians. but thouzb it is still common enough amonyz members of the old generation | and is used also hy some young people —particularly, 1 fancv. voune 1-diac : strange. ti AE —— ner ctor ie WHO TeANZEe i.» lciiuiugd oawily tore can be no doubt that it is, in both Senses. vanishing and that not half the Virginians of the present day pro- nounce ‘‘cigar’ as “‘segyar.” “carpet” as “cya’pet” and ‘‘Carter’ ag “Cyahtah.” In Virginia and many other parts of the south one hears such words as “aunt” correctly pronounced with the broad a and such words as “tube” and “new” properly given the full u sounc (instead of “toobe™ and ‘noo. as in some parts of the north); but, on the other hand. while the south gives the short o sound in such words as “log” and “fog” it invariably calls a dog a dawg.” Your” is commonly pro- nounced ‘‘vore." “sure” as “shore” and “to” as “toe.” The south also uses the word ‘carry’ in a way that strikes northerners as If a southerner offers to “car- ry you” to the station or over his plan- tation, he does not mean that he in- tends to transport you on his back, but that he will take you.
