DEFINITION OF
MILK AND CREAM
Dairymen and Stock Keepers
Should Know Standard
Constituency.
Definitions and standards for
milk and cream, adopted by the
Joint Committee on Definitions
and Standards and approved by
both the Association of American
Dairy, Food, and Drug Officials
and the Association of Official
Agricultural Chemists, to be used
as a guide for the enforcement
of the food and drugs act, have
been published by the United
States Department of Agriculture
in a circular, “Food Inspection
Decision 178.”
Milk is defined as the whole,
fresh, clean, lacteal secretion
obtained by the complete milking
of one or more healthy cows,
properly fed and kept, excluding
that obtained within 15 days be
fore and 5 days after calving, or
such longer period as may be
necessary to render the milk
practically colostrum free,
Pastorized milk is milk that
has been subjected to a tempera
ture not lower than 145 degrees
F. for not less than 30 minutes.
Unless it is bottled hot, it is
promptly cooled to 50 degrees F.
or lower.
Skimmed milk is milk from
which substantially all of the
milk fat has been removed.
Buttermilk is the product that
remains when fat is removed
from milk or cream, sweet or
sour, in the process of churning:.
It contains not less than 8.5 per
cent of milk solids, not fat.
Cream, sweet cream, is that
portion of milk, rich in milk fat,
which rises to the surface of
milk on standing or is separated
from it by centrifugal force. It
is fresh and clean. It contains
not less than 18 per cent of milk
fat and not more than two-tenths
per cent of of acid-reacting sub
stances calculated in terms of
lactic acid.
Whipping cream is cream
which contains not less than 30
per cent of milk fat.
Homogenized milk or homo
genized cream is milk or cream
that has been mechanically treat
ed in such a manner as to alter
its physical properties, with par
ticular reference to the condition
and appearance of the fat glob
ules.
The composition of the milk
produced by different breeds of
dairy cows varies so greatly, say
the food officials, that it is not
practicable to fix a standard
which is applicable in all locali
ties in the United States and its
Territories. It is therefore left
to the State and municipal au
thorities to adopt such standards
as their local production condi
tions may warrant.
Prisoners Sing Opera.
Paris, June 18. — Deprived of
all else the Italians can drown
their sorrow in grand opera if
given half a chance, as was
proved by a group released from
a German prison camp. Arriv
ing at Mannheim in the night,
and forced to stand for over an
hour out of doors in the rain and
mud before they could be cared
for, they kept up a continuous
flow of arias and choruses until
some Y. M. C. A. workers si
lenced them with food and hot
drinks.
In twelve days, at Manheim,
10,261 men were provided by the
Y. M. C. A. with chocolate, cof
fee and cigarettes. From 5,000
to 7,000 cups of hot beverage
were served every day. In this
stream of ex-prisoners were
6,999 Frenchmen, 2,772 Italians,
211 Belgiams, 199 British, 34
Serbians, 21 Roumanians, one
American, 24 civilians.

Bids will be received by the

Revenues for the construction of
dipping vats for Montgomery
county. Get specifications at

POPPY’S VALUE LONG KNOWN
Abundant Evidence That Qualities of
the Plant Were Appreciated
Many Centuries Ago.
The poppy plant was originally In
digenous to the valley of the Nile, and
many centuries before Christ ft was
Imported Into Persia. There it was
grown with even greater success than
in its natural haunts, and for many
years there was a great discussion as
to the merits of Persian and Thebaic
poppy from the city of Thebes. There
are several ancient references which
clearly Indicate the important position
which poppy leaves occupied in an
cient times. Homer knew all about
It, for In the fourth book of the Odys
sey he relates the story of a present
of poppy sent by the wife of Thop,
an Egyptian king, to Helen. Hippo
crates first recommended Its use as a
medicine and sent out with It a warn
ing that it was dangerous. Morphine,
the alkulold crystalllzable extract of
opium, which contains Its medicinal
and narcotic properties, was first
by Seguln, In 1808, and later
Serturner gave it its name after the
Latin derivative meaning “to sleep.”
It was about this time that Dr. John
Leigh delivered a prize essay before
the Harveian society of England on
opium and its derivatives, calling at
tention to the dangers of forming a
habit, and publishing this essay, later
dedicating it to George Washington.
GET FULL VALUE OF READING
Author's Best Sayings Should Be
Transferred to the Storehous«
of the Memory.
A view of reading, which, though it
is obvious enough, is seldom taken, I
imagine, or at least acted upon is,
that, in the course of our reading,
we should lay up in our minds a store
of goodly thoughts in well-wrought
words, which should be a living treas
ure of knowledge always with us, and
from which nt various times, and
amidst all the shifting of circum
stance, we might be sure of drawing
some comfort, guidance and sympathy.
We see this with regard to the sacred
writings. “A word spoken in due
season, how good is It!” But there is
a similar comfort on a lower level to
be obtained from other sources than
sacred ones. In any work that is
worth carefully reading there is gen
erally something that is worth re
membering accurately. A man whose
mind is enriched with the best sayings
of the poets of his own country is a
more Independent man, walks the
streets in a town, or the lanes in the
country, with far more delight Chan he
otherwise would have; and Is taught,
by wise observers of man and nature,
to examine for himself. Snftcho Pauza
with his proverbs is a great deal bet
ter than lie would have been without
them.—-Sir Arthur Helps.
* Look Over Your Bills.
Now that somebody has taken the
trouble to count them, it appears that
there are in circulation in the currency
of the United States five varieties of
the $1 note, five different $2 bills, six
$5 bills, seven $lO bills, seven S2O bills,
six SSO bills, six SIOO bills and four
SSOO bills. Comparatively few citizens,
to be sure, have the opportunity to
study the differences between SSOO
hills, but it illustrates the matter-of
eourseness with which currency is
handled that many will probably be
surprised to know that the lower de
nominations are printed in so many
styles. Nor does it often occur to any
body to realize that he carries in his
pocketbook some fine and interesting
examples of the art of engraving.
Unquenchable.
"Old Lute Lathers is a great feller
to always look on the bright side of
things,” said the gaunt Missourian.
“He was riding to town on a load of
hay with his son-in-law the other day
when the roads were so muddy. One
wheel dropped into a chuckliole cleur
up to the axle, the hay slewed, and
Uncle Lute rolled off and landed on
his head In a puddle a foot and a half
deep. ‘Well, sir,’ says he, when they
had dug him out and mopped him off
some, ‘these ’ere mud roads don’t
bruise you up like a rock road does.
If that had been a hard-surfaced road,
b’dogged if it wouldn’t have plumb
broke my neck !’’ —Kansas City Star.
To Temper China.
Many a lover of fine china Is heart
broken to discover her choice dinner
or tea set lined with hair-like cracks.
Hot tea or chocolate poured into
dainty cups cracks them instantly.
A Chinese merchant gave this bit of
information when a rare tea set was
purchased from him: “Before using
delicate China place It in a pan of
cold water. Let It come gradually to
a boll and allow' the china to remain
In the water till cold.” This tempers
tiie china and it is capable of with
standing the sudden expansion caused
by the heat. There is no need of re
peating the treatment for a long time.
Chinese Fond of Fireworks.
China invented gunpowder and pop
ularized firecrackers. The cheapest
kind of firecracker is made of gunpow
der rolled up in coarse hurnboo paper
with a covering of red paper, red be
ing regarded by the Chinese as bring
ing- good luck. Alum is used to neu
tralize the smoke. The Canton dis
trict is the center of this industry. The
Chinese seem to use firecrackers upon
every occasion—to speed a parting
guest, In wedding celebrations, oa fes
tivals and birthdays and to dispel evil
and bring good omens. China exports
about $3,000,000 worth a year.
