ONIONSJN MILK flavor and Odor Not Unkwolosome But Very Objeotionable, R?m?dl?e 8uo0Mt?d CfMotoa College, April 12.?'With l&e cominr of sprlac and fr?th pas tures a great many farmers, milk producers, and consumers are confronted with the usual, and to a certain extent Inevitable, flavor and Jdor of onions in milk products. The presenoe of onion flavor in milk does not Indicate that the milk containing this flavor has been produced or handled under unsanitary conditions, nor does the presence of the "avqr and odor render the milk u.: ..v liesome fo.- ' 'nan consumption. But the onion flavor in milk, even to a slight degree, is such a pronounced and unpleasant one to the great ma* ! jority of consumers that from a commercial standpoint all millc so affected is unfit. Cream from this milk may be used for butter making, though the resulting butter will still j retain the objectionable flavor to a marked degrea. As a result of this trouble in milk, many producers and dealers suffer erery apring considerable financial loss, a part of which, at least oould be avoided if proper precautions were taken and preparation made for the short time during which the trouble arises. As to remedies and treatment of "oniony", milk, the only sure and effective means lies in prevention. If onions are present in the pasture thev must come out, or the milk cow i must be kept out for several hours j prior to milking time, else the milk /ill surely have the characteristic | objectionable odor and flavor.- Should J the onions be few, or ahould they be confined to a limited area, It might be possible and advisable to pull up the plants by hand before seed are produced and thus eventually rid the pasture of them. On the other hand, If the paature to badly lafeeted the only course te follow ie to teko the milk cows off the pasture early in the afternooa, at least four or five hours before milhfcir time. The cm lorn plant la one of the first to begin growing la the epriag, and the cow, with her natural craving for green succulent feed at tfcis eeaaon of the year, la sot at all particular about what she eeta while the graa ing U ao scant. .la title ooaoectlon a graalng lot of rye or rye and barley, or clover and barley eervee a double purpose. If the eow la allowed aoceRfl to such graiing lots for an hour or bo eaoh day not only will her milk flow be very much faoreaeed but her hunger for green feed will be eatls* fled to suok an extent (hat the will be more careful about grating on wild onions while la the paelura. The onion flavor la milk to oaly oae, though perhaps the soft prenouaoed and objectionable, at a*ay food flavors which often get Into milk from the cow. Such feed* as rape, rutabagei, eabbage ??d wet brewer's grains, wjien fed either Jwt prior or during milking, often Import quite pronounced aad ebJaeMooable flavors to milk. Any of the above feeds, however, may safely be fed <..? nftAr mllkinr or swreral hours before milking without affecting the flavor of the milk in any way. So* It Is where conditions make H necessary to graze milk oows on onion Infested pastures. If the oowy are turned on these pastures immediately after milking In the morning sitad then driven up ahout noon, there should be little If any trace of onion flavor in the milk. Especially is this true where the cows are allowed to graze on green grazing lots which are free from the wild onions or where a good grade of corn silage Is fed as a succulent feed. Various methods of removing the onion flavor and edor from milk so contaminated have been tried out with little success. Perhaps the most common as well as the most effec tlve treaimeni is um ui ?oi ni.^u But even with this method, the amount of the objectionable flavor and odor removed t? 10 small that It Is impossible to render contaminated milk free from talat. Summary. 1. ' Allow milk cows to ma oa anion infested pastures only hi the farenoon. Drive them up four er Are hours before milking time. 2. Provide green grailac lota, or have an abundance or ears sHage, to Increase the flow of milk and to appease the cow's craving ' for green feed. 3.

Lexington, April : 22.?It's no more cigars for Hon. Frank W. Shealy, the popular chairman of the South Carolina Railway Commission.^ Hereafter?or at any rate for a ' good many days to come?rrans Shealy is either going to smoke an ] old cob pipe or a cigarrette when he smokes at all. The chairman of the railway commission is a staunch be J liever in the movement to lower the high cost of living, but this is not alJ . together the reason for his cutting out cigars. It came about this way: A day or . two ago, Mr. Shealy purchased a'] cigar made by a well known Tampa,1, Fla., manufacturer from a well , known local dealer in Lexington for his after-dinner smoke. For a few minutes everything went well, says " Mr. Shealy; but the next second, just as the poular official was taking a strong pull, there was a mighty exJ, plosion, followed by a scream on the other side of the room, and when Mr. Shealy came to his senses he was minus a cigar. The cigar was "load_ ed" with a .22 calliber rifle bullet, ! and the little mssile had struck the maid on the other side of the room, 1 barely missing Mrs. Shealy, who was ; sitting near her husband. 1 TVio nanrrri onrl tinmovor woo ?rtf ' | JL liV tlVglV f i4V??VIUJ.J ?UvJ itVV injured to any appreciable extent.': Neighbors rushed into the Shealy <! home upon hearing the report of the < cartridge. < Had the incident occurred a couple of years ago when the grea t world ' war was on/there would not have ' been anything said about it, said Mr. Shealy, but the war is over now, and it is time for such things as loading : cigars with bullets to cease.
