MILK AND HITTER TESTS
Dairy Farmers Unaware or wh,,

Dairy Farmers Unaware OF wh,t
should be Their Greatest Con-
cern.
NO one can doubt, says the Mark
Lame Express, that there are afIluent
MIX yielding COWS, which are not re-
m~unerative butter making cows. and
mat every dairy farmer should ascer-
ain. whether the individual animals I'm
ms herd adapted for the purposes to
Whlch the milk is applied; very rev
DO this, and great losses are occasioned
IN consequence. Inc fact has been
shown over n over again that unless
the separate Weddings of each COW be
weighed after milking, periodically.
the owner would be ignorant Of the
anlmal's performance, or whether her
yield is up to the standard requisite to
give prcfit or not. Keeping each cows
milk separate for butter making would
be uresome. AS there are chemical
tests and instruments for ascertaining
the composition of milk. ii is far easie,
to resort to them than to adopt the
other alternative. In the generality of
cases, however, nothing Of the k nj is
even attempted, and the dairy farmer
emains totally unaware of what ought
TO be his greatest c~oncern-the indi-
vidual capabilities of each cow he
owns to do what he expects from her.
Hence, the utility of butter tests and
milking trials to show now very va
ried are the Weddings Of COWS, both in
milk and butter. and how much better
certain varieties are FOR butter making
| than others.

less butter than the Jersey. In one
instance, another Shorthorn yielded

qUently the animals ought TO bc adapt

finds of even better quality than 4
competing products imported from

10 the fact that the president OF the
BOARD of Agriculture has been test
iny imported butter. Ii says:
one of the laudable steps taken by
the present president of the board OF
agriculture since his accession TO Oh
flee has been To test the butter I'M
ported at the time ii is landed a. our
ports. 1t is stated on good authority
that since September last the experts
Of the board of agriculture have an
alyzed 2g1 samples of imported but

aduIterated samples came from II
continent Of Europe, butter from the
United States and the colonies having
come successfully through the ordeal
of analysis. The chief offending
countries were Germany nj Holland,
but Russia and Denmark also 1ur-
nished some impure specimens. Now
il is a most unfair state of matters,
both for the home producer and con-
SINNER. when no fewer than - per
cent of the samples tested are pro-
nounced to be adulterated. Marga-
riue can he produced profitabiy at
from 10 to 81 per pound. ana thus
when any considerable proportion OF
buttcr is mixed with that. or even
with a cheaper form of fat, 1t Is obvi-
aus that the foreign producer pockets

the surface. S~tringepS measures
should be adopted in dealiug with
This startling state Of matters.
