Dairy Matters.

Some of the dealers are of the opinion
that the price of cheese will recede, but
we Al of different opinion, at least do
not think that there will be as great
recession as dealers look for.-Elgin,
ILL.,, Advocate.
On Saturday, S. Straight & Son raised
the paying price for milk to 15 cents.
This with the present fine prospects for
fall feed will shorten the dairymen's
faces.-Hudson Enterprise.
The copious rains of late have given
things spring like appearance; fall
feed is excellent, and there is cause for
rejoicing among the farmers. Milk at
the Silver Creek factory has increased
5000 pounds in ten days.-Aurora Cor.
Exponent"
The rapidity with which grass has
started since the rains set in Is unprece-
dented, and is the occasion for univer-
sal remark among the farmers. Mea-
dows and pastures which were thought
to be killed out entirely are now cover
ed with luxuriant coat of green, and
we hear Of few that are even injured.
The luxuriant growth of grass has
greatly increased the flow of milk, and
unless early frosts set in the production
of cheese and butter will be unusually
large for October and November.-Cha-
grin Falls Exponent.
s. Straight & Sons milk patrons haye
been served with the following especial
(feed) notice." Well convinced, by
heavy losses now being realized on de-
caying cheese, that we cannot afford to
receive milk from cows that eat any of
the feed known as meal sugar" or,
more properly, sour meal, (what is left
of corn after the starch, glucose, and
whisky are extracted.) we now give no.
tice to our patrons that we will hereafter
receive no more such milk, and that our
managers are instructed to reject any
that may be offered after Monday, Oct
ober 10, 1881. The Investigations we
have made outside, and the results re-
ported by other parties who have tested
milk thus produced, fully sustain us in
this decision. We give this notice, not
from any arbitrary preference, but from
sense of pure necessity. The safety of
holding cheese and butter In our cool
storage over the hot, dry season, to en-
able ourselves to pay liberal prices for
milk, demands this notice for future
years. We are anxious to receive all the
good healthy milk our patrons wish to
furnish. All we receive that is'produced
from cows fed on unwholesome food or
watered from stagnant, filthy water, or
that is damaged by bad handling before
dilivery at the factory, is q source of
positive damage to us, both In money
and in the reputation of our products,
and the less our managers receive of
any sort of imperfect milk the more
highly we shall appreciate their faith
fulness and efficiency. The necessity of
using this corn refuse, even in times of
severe drouth, can be entirely avoided by
adopting and adheTing to the rule of
planting in rich, we'll prepared soil, an
acreage of fodder corn in full proportion
| to the number of COWS to be fed from It.
No risk in this, because if not needed
during the warm season, it is worth
more than the cost to cure and use for
winter fodder. Thorough. progressive
producers of milk may also, purchase
mill feed early while prices are at low
est point of the season, and, by feeding
bring up the flow of good milk to the
largest quantity their cows are capable
of producing. And this desirable point
may be reached by good management
with no more cash outlay than the cost
of the corn refuse. Glover ia also de-
sirable crop in dry weather. In conclu-
sion, we give notice to our milk patrons,
| at this early date, that we will consider
all who commence delivering us milk
in the spring legally bound to refrain
| from the use of this cor u refuse or other
| Injurious milk food for COWS 70 the close
of the season aud that we shall look to
any for damages who may openly or
Sc ecretly disregard this condition. s.
