THE DAIRY Y.
ANIMAL ODER IN MILK.

There has been so much written about an
imal odor in milk during the last year, it
would be cruel to stir it up again, if it were
not for the great need for our getting at the
bottom of the question and understanding it
to know how to avoid it. There are those
Of us who do not believe in the existence of
animal odor in pure milk, while those who
are sometimes troubled with it detiantIy ask
the question, how do you account for the
fact that we sometimes find our milk smell
ing strongly of animal odor? The answer
to the question is that by allowing a for
eign substance to come in contact with the
milk, the two together have combined to
form what is called animal odor. You
might as we'll point to a fresh egg and de-
clare there is a chicken in it, simply because
there are all the elements in the egg for
making a chicken.
Let us carefully examine the question. In
the first place, what do you mean by .ani-
nal odor?" Mr.. Arnold, in his American
Dairying, page 1873, says:
"All who have been accustomed to han
die or use milk when first drawn from the
cow, are aware that it has an odor peculiar
to it at that stage, but which soon passes
away if the milk is thinly spread out and
exposed to the air" Same page, "Chil-
dren often relish milk when new and
warm.'
~ 1.-THE odor resembles the mingled
smell of the breath and insensible perspira-
ton OF the animal. In the same connection
and on the next page he says concerning
carrying milk to factoriess ~Upon pncov-

sCAB IN SHEEP.

In looking at quitesa number of different
flocks of sheep, l observed that many OF the
sheep had their wool all hanging in frag-
ments from their sides. Is it the mild wealth
Ell we have had of late, or vermin on the
sheep, that causes their wool to come off?
il. HERvEY.
The loss of wool is in consequence of a
skin disease called ascab," which is closely
allied to mango in horses and itch in human
beings. 1t is caused by a minute parasite,
sometimes referred to as al insect; but it
would be more nearly correct to call it a
~mite," as it is not a true insect, scientif-
fcally speaking. There are many species Of
these mites or acars which infest our domes-
tic animals in fact, none of these is entirely
exempt from the attacks of these pests,
appearance.
NJ. Walz, aGerman veterinarian, in speak
ing of species of Gcarus infesting sheep,
says: "If one or more female acari are
placed on the wool Of sound sheep, they
quickly travel to the root of it and bury
themselves in the skin, the place at which
they penetrated being scarcely visible, or
only distinguished by a minute red point.
On the tenth or twelfth day a little swelling
may be detected with the finger, and the
skin changes its. color and has a greenish
blue tint. The pnstule is now rapidly form
ed, and about the sixteenth day breaks and

attached to their feet, and covered by a por-,
ton of shell of the egg from which they

erine the can (the vessel in when IL ""'
car1ied) the offensive accumulation OF ouoi

Has not Nj. Arnold got two things o"u'y
mixed here? Can it be possible ''i"V AN
first. odor he describes and admits ll"' o"ie
children love can be the same as THIS
fensiye accumulation" of which ne SPEAKS:
He admits that some children love the sihell
of new milk, and without much
ton he might nave said that all children
love it; but did he ever see or near VI ~
child that loved Or could tolerate the OF
fensive accumulation" of which he speaks:
Freshly drawn milk has much the smell
of a cows breath when she is feeding on Il
clover pasture, and is one Of the most agree
able tlayors to be found in the highest class
of freshly made butter. What IS ommon
" known as & animal odor" in milk resem-
bles the smell of a COW stable after the COWS
have been in for twenty-fOur hours, and put
ter made from such milk tastes as though 1t
had stood in a cow stable for several months.
This want of q proper distinction YOU'D
hardly be worth discussing if It were not
that it has led Mr.. Arnold and many others
into grave errors. IF it is true that the smell
Of new milk is only the undeyeloped animal
odor that is subsequently so offensive, then
as all new milk has this odor it must follow
that as milk gets old it will always develop
animal odor, which we all know is not the
case. 1t is in fact comparatively rare.
Without being too positive upon q subject
upon which we are all ignorant, the facts
known about animal odor or faint in milk
all point to its origin in the COW, caused by
an impaired digestion, and the best way to
avoid this character of milk is to see that
are in proper condition. This is o saying
that the milk cannot be tainted after it leaves
the cows udder, by getting sufflcienttilth in
it Or by mixing it with other milk that is al
ready tainted. All argument about fermen-
tation and fungi have more to do with the
effect than the cause Of animal odor in milk.
Never having met with this odor in milk in
my own or any other dairy in Kentucky
where the weather is very warm in summer,
[ am led to believe it is caused by some pc
culiar food given to cows where it makes it's
appearance. The habit of feeding whey
from the factory or sour milk from the dali
to cows, may be found to be a prolific
cause of this trouble. Whey or milk that
has become sufficiently old to take on the
character of carbon or that had been pre-
viously tainted, would be just as certain 10
impair a COWS digestion to the extent of
spelling the milk as would so much old cab
bage or onions. The statements in Mr.. Ar
nold's book as to the effect of heat and cold
upon milk tainted with animal odor are GER
tainly at issue with a vast deal Of evidence
accumulated within the last year upon this
subject.-L. S. Hardin IN Ohio Farmer.

LIV I STOCK.
SPECIALITY IN BREEDING.

Many Young farmers when they start out
AS breeders make a great mistake by under
standing too much. They think they must
burst forth upon the world full grown, like
Minerva from the brain of Jupiter. They
are not willing to wait and grow up by de-
erees. as all things in nature grow, but
make large preparations, go to great ex-
pense. run in debt, and lacking experience
and reputation, which is a plant OF slow
Growth, do not meet the exalted expecta-
lions with which they started, become dis
couraged, and finally perhaps quit the busl-
ness.
But one of the most serious blunders that
inexnerieneed breeders commit is to start
with too many breeds or varieties or KIND
of stock, While a man May be successful
with Shorthorns, or Jerseys, or Holsteins,
or Deyons, or Herefords, or with Merlnos,
or Cotswolds, or S%outhdowns, or Berkshires,
or Poland-Chinas, or Essex, or trotting
horses, or thoroughbred horses-yet if he
undertakes to keep several kinds of stock,
or several breeds Of the same Kind Of stock,
he generally commits a serious error. Ii IS
much better to take one breed and make a
speciality of it, and aim to stand at the very
head OF the class in raising that particular
breed, than to undertake to raise several
breeds, and thus scatter his fire and stand at
the foot of the class of those that breed these
animals. There is a good deal of truth In
the couplet:
6 A n eo,ftorad hras Int end in smoke and noise
The scorn of men, the idle play of boys
The text of the breeder should be to con-
ccntrate-concentrate his best energies Oh
one breed concentrate his skill in perfect
ing it; concentrate his money in securing
breeding animals of the highest merit con-
centrate his care in feeding, rearing and
producing better animals than any one else,
if that is possible. This has been the Sc
cret of success with all of our successful
breeders, whether it be of cattle, sheep,
horses, swine or poultry. A man, cannot
achieve success in anything, but by concen-
tratingg his mind Oh some one pursuit, and
concentrating all his labors upon it. 1t is
better to produce one kind OF pigs, and at
tain the highest success, than to have sever
al kinds and only mediocre success. 1t is
better to take one variety of poultry and
eclipse your rivals in raising it, than to
have several kinds and take only second po-
sltion, 1t is better to raise the first quality
of any one thing than to raise the second
quality of several things. If the young
breeder will start out with this idea firmly
rooted in his mind. he is safe. and he will
reach the highest fame in his particular line.

Immediately penetrate the n~elghboring skin,
and bury themselves beneath it, as did their
parents before them; and thus the numbers
multiply and rapidly spread over the poor
animal upon which they have once found a
lodement. The male acari. placed on the
skin of sheep, were also found to burrow in
to it and disappear for a while, a postule
forming over them, as with the other sex"
1t may readily be seen from the above dis
@cription that these parasites could scarcely
fail to produce c%utaneous eruptions, which
would destroy the roots of the wool and
cause it to fall off.
Sickly, poor, half-starved animals, which
the first to be attacked by this parasite, as
really healthy animals, carefully cared for,
resist the attacks Of such pests; but when
very numerous they pass over what would
seem to be natural barriers, and the best an
imal of the flock will succumb to their dis
astrous advances.
TO prevent scab, keep the sheep healthy
by giving them an abundance of good food
and shelter from storms at all seasons, in
dry, clean sheds or barns. Then at every
shearing time, examine the skin carefully,
and lfthere are any signs Of a cutaneous dis
ease, or even of sheep tick (Melophngus or
nus), dip the entire flock in tobacco water.
with proper tanks, which every shepherd
should always keep on hand and in good or
der, both the old sheep and lambs may be
dipped very rapidly, and at a cost of1aot
more than five cents a head, and thereby
freedom from parasitic pests insured for the
season.
About one pound of tobacco will be re-
CURED for every five gallons OF water, and it
must be stepped in hot water long enough
to extract its strength. The liquid should
be about blood-warm when the dipping is
performed, and if a little flour of sulphur is
added, it will increase the efficacy Of the So
luton. A fresh supply of the liquid must
vided from the purpose, and the tempera-
ture kept up to zoos or a little more.
Of course, tanks of the proper size must
be providedsfor this purpose, and a tight
platform, at one side, should be SO arranged
that as the sheep are taken out of the bath,
they may rest upon it a moment, and the
liquid which runs off will return to the
tank, thereby saving unnecessary waste.
There are few tlocks which would not be
greatly benefited by annual dipping in a So
luton of the kind named. If there is no
scab among them, ticks or some such pests
usually abound, causing much annoyance
to the animal, if not a positive injury to
health.-Rural New YORKER.

A member of the American Farmers club
thought it quite as important in butter-mak-
ing to know the quality as the quantity of
milk yielded by each cow One needs to
know the percentage OF cream to determine
the value Of the cow, for butter, and as the
price of butter is influenced by its color
(some believe the color determines the fis-
vor), the test should give both quality and
quantity Of cream. This is easily and cheap
ly done by filling a glass tumbler with the
milk of each cow, and setting these tumb-
lers iii a cool place for the cream to rise.
The transparent glass will show the thick
ness Of the cream and its color. In this
manner one has the milk of the several
COWS under inspection at the same time, and
can therefore make an accurate comparison.
Both nights and mornings milk should be
thus tested. This testing often proves that
the cow giving the smallest quantity of
milk makes the most butter. A few hours
time will show the comparative quality of
the milk given by each COW in the herd, and
enable the farmer to select out those that
give cream of a rich golden color. and make
away with the remainder, supplying their
places with others it will pay better to keen,

Interesting s.to inquire whether in the
rapid growth, which is said to follow
certain diseases especially feyers, the
height and weight increase in normal
ratio: whether this accelerated growth
after the disease is simply compen-

growth causes a predisposltlon to
disease, and whether any connection
can be traced between the rate OF
growth and the frequency with which
certain diseases of growing children

THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS or
AMERICAN CHILDREN.

Some months ago we renewed the
date relative to the height ana weight
of Americans, drawn from the records
of the Provost Marshal General
Bureau. made during the late war.
The conclusions reached were that, III
uoint of stature. even the lowest mean
obtained would entitle the American
people to the first rauk among nations.
The results Of measurements or nearly
million and half of American born
white men exhibited mean stature
of g. .646 inches. In the matter OF
weight it further appeared that
Brother Jonathan is as heavy at the
heaviest even in his youth: and the
apparent slimness of his immaturity
due to his superior height. is fairly
made up by the time he reaches his
full development.
