Fat obules In lows Milk.
An investigation OF the fat elobules
In cows milk has been conducted for
the past two years, for the special pur-
pose OF studying the changes that take
place in the number and the size of
the glooules during the advance of the
PERIOD OF lactation. 1t has been found
that the Number Of globules is smaller
when the cows come in fresh, and the
size Is the largest at that time; from
this period and on the number of Clio.
oules Is constantly increasing. while
the size is decreasing. until toward
the time when the COWS are drying
up. when the largest number of glo-
bules is found. and these Of the small.
est size. The many difficulties in the
way OF Dreaming and churning the
product from shippers are largely sx-
planned in the minuted size of the
globules in the milk from such cows.
The'stage Of the lactation period
seems to be greater importance than is
the breed or individuality Of the COW
in determining the size OF globules;
while tho number Of globules is some-
times three or four times as large when
the cows are shippers as when they
come in fresh the size Is smaller at
this time in about the same proper
ton. A disturbance OF any kind. hard
treatment excitement sickness, etc.,
will leave its mark on the number and
size Of globulea and hence influence
the Dreaming qualities OF the milk and
the rapidity and completeness with
which the churn will do its work. Sue.

Dairy Notes.
Keep watch of the price of COW feed
and when you can buy it cheap enough
lay in q supply.
II you are nat doing very well making
and selling butter, think over the idea OF
establishing q creamery.
The first step toward increasing the
profit from your dairy will be to Gull the
herd. Look it over and see If this is not
true.
Turn and rub cheese daily to keep them
bright and free from mold. Carelessness
never pays in making cheese, more than in
anything else.
When feeding COW do not try to sec
how little you can give her and have hel
''do pretty we'll" but how much you car
get her to eat and 'do pretty we'll"
II you intend to build up dairy herd
it will pay you to feed your young heif
ers something beside corn-give them
some oats. You will reap the good Of il
in their progress as we'll as in churn.
II you carry milk to q factory or shiI
to market 1t will pay you to cool 1t al
once as soon as drawn from the cows. II
don't make man feel very good to have
bis milk rejected because lit is OFF, aftel
he has spent time cooling it. But he die
not do it soon enough
Do not let the COW shrink her milk, only
as she must in accordance with natures
laws in reproducing her kind in her on
spring. II every dairy farmer would fol
low the above advice he would learn tina
he needs to depend less upon pasturini
and more upon soiling crops and on grain
some hay and ensilaged food.
Some cows will give milk right up t.
the time Of calving. IL care is not taken t.
dry them up Usually this can be accom-
plished by not milking them quite clean
hut IL that does not suffice mix half al
ounce Of alum with tho mash once da.
for two or three days This will check tn
flow of milk, but must not be continues
too long, or it would have tendency I
