Is Your Milk Really Clean 

 or Merely Clean Looking? 



Strained milk all looks alike, it may be crowded 

 with germs, or positively sanitary. Straining takes 

 out the coarse dirt, but if the dirt and milk once become 

 mixed, the milk is tainted and cannot possibly be cleaned 

 by straining. 



The Sterilac Pail assures really clean milk, 

 because it keeps the milk and the dirt from ever 

 coming into contact. It is the only effective, low- 

 cost device for producing pure milk. Further- 

 more, it is better made and will last longer than any 

 owned. Try it at OMr risk. 



Note the strainer cloth on 

 which the milk strikes. 



Note the dirt-shelf which 

 catches the dirt falling: from 

 the udder. The projecting top 

 shields the strainer cloth from 

 falling dirt. 



It is easy to use, because the 

 opening is of ample w^idth. 



It does not spatter.

Plant Some Trees Now 



NOVEMBER is the best month of the whole 

 year for planting fruit and shade trees, 

 and also shrubs. The weather is more favorable 

 now, labor is cheaper and the plants live better, 

 as they have time to make some root growth and 

 get a firm hold in the soil before the coldest weather 

 sets in. (See the planting table in The Garden 

 AIagazine for November, 1909, page 173.) 



Of all the Southern shade trees the live oak is 

 probably the most popular and ersiest to grow, 

 although the magnolia is without doubt the most 

 beautiful. Don't fail to plant your favorite fruit 

 trees; almost any kind of fruit tree will succeed 

 well here in the South, with but little care. If you 

 fail to plant trees during the next f^w months 

 you lose a whole year in growth. 



When frost threatens, cover squashes, beans, 

 cucumbers, melons, pepper, tomato, egg-plants, 

 etc., following the directions in The Garden

By properly protecting this pepper plant during 

 the cold weather it lived two years 



Magazine for November, 1909, page 168. These 

 vegetables can then be had up to Christmas in 

 many sections of the South. Do the same thing 

 with marigolds, nasturtium, rrorning-glory, canna 

 and other tender flowers. I once kept a pepper 

 plant through two winters by placing a large box 

 over it, banking up the sides with earth and cover- 

 ing the top with old bags, newspapers and boards 

 at night and on cold days, and as a result I had 

 fresh pepper for use all winter. Dwarf orange 

 and lemon bushes can easily be kept through the 

 winter in this way. 



If you failed to plant Dutch bulbs or hardy 

 Hlies last month do so at once. Sow, also, seed 

 of wheat, rye and oats during the month. 



When the soil is too wet (o plow, haul pine 

 needles and leaves to the stable to make compost. 

 Just as soon after frost as possible rake up all old 

 vines and trash and burn to prevent insects from 

 collecting under them. However, trash that can 

 be plowed into the soil should never be burned.
