Miss Cora Lee Colo- nian, county home demonstration ngent, told Mississippi County homemakcrs this week. In answer to inquiries on the necessity of cooling milk and cream, sh explained that it Is done for the same reason Dial milk and cream utensils arc washed and sterilized. Sterilization discourages bacteria from gelling Into milk or cream in the flriit place, and cooling stops the activities uf those bacteria that find lliplr way into milk and cream.

Cagle bought a Eureka spiral feed cleaner and It worked wonders in separating the crop. Not only did It separate corn from $337.50 for the beans alone.
