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. Dipping Vats.

Hutcheson, Clerk. 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. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1919. Notice of Local Legislation.
