Keeping Milk from SOuring,

This is the kind of weather in which
the butter maker, at the creamery, has
his life nearly worried out of him.
Some patrons bring milk that is too
sour to separate good, and he has not
the nerve to refuse it. He fears that
he will lose the patron, 80 he keeps on,
day after day, taking the milk that
clogs his separator, compelling him to
stop and clear it out, hoping vainly
that the patron will do better, or that
the weather will be cooler.
1t is very easy to say that the butter
maker should reject all milk that had
not been properly cared for, and by so
doing compel the patrons to take better
care of their milk, and consequently
make more money, because of the bet
ter separation that can be had with
sweet milk.
This is, no doubt, the right way, and
the only way to do justice by the pat
rons who do deliver their milk in good
condition, for all the patrons have to
share equally in the loss caused by the
reduced quantity or quality caused by
the milk of The careless patron.
But it takes some courage to do this
when the creamery is surrounded by
other creameries but three miles dis
tant in all directions, where the patron
would be hailed with delight, and where
he would go if there was any fault
found with his milk. We visited a
creamery, a few days ago, where lust
this state of things existed. One man
brought a full load, the milk of several
patrons, n hot morning, and more
than half that load was unfit to receive.
The butter maker, who was part owner.
said, very mildly, to the driver, 81
wish you would tell ~ naming
several patrons, TO take better care Of
their milk" The driver replied, with
a good deal of vim: "That milk is all
right. If you don't want the milk /
bring 1 will take it wei to the other
creamery. They'll take it and be glad
to get it," That settled it.; the butter
maker had to give vent to his feelings
after he was alone, in language he did
nc. wish others to hear,
- would be much better for all par
ties concerned, if the milk was prop
erly cared for Immediately after milk
ing, and kept in cold water till time to
start for the creamery, and it really
does not take much time. We believe
if patrons were instructed in this mat
ter they could see that it would be to
their advantage, and would practice
taking better care of their milk.
There are two things to do, and they
are % TO %aerate, and (2) to cool it. a
good way to aerate it is to have a tin
vessel, something like a large pail with
straight sides, with a great number OF
very small holes in the bottom. This
aerator is set up n and one-half or
two feet above the can, and when
strained into it the milk trickles, in
very small streams, through the holes,
and is we'll aired as it falls into the can.
Now if the can is set in cold water,
which is as deep as the milk in the can,
and:stirred up once after half an hour,
it will keep all right till the next fore
noon, when it will reach the creamery
in the best condition every time

cutting hay in early bloom or prior to
early formation of seed for the timothy
crop, so far as its nutritive effect is con-
cerned. AS all of the trials agree in
finding an increased growth of timothy
to q material extent between bloom
and seed formation amounting in some
trials to twenty-five per cent to thirty
per cent, it would appear on the face
of it to indicate, in view of the reten-
ton of equivalent if not superior nu-
tritive effect, that timothy should Lot
be cut until the seed is well formed
and approaching the milk stage. For
tunately as q means OF developing
the mental acumen and equilibrium of
the farmer, this does not follow, for
other factors i%nterpose. The greater
~palatableness of the early cut hay In
duces greater consumption, and there.
by a very heavy increase of the food OF
excess or that above a mere maintenance
ration. So far as. definitely known pal
atableness is not a nutritive quality,
or does not add directly to nutritive eff
feet, simply inducing greater consump-
ton of food.
1t is impossible for science, it seems
to the writer, to fix the precise date at
which grass should be cut. l hold the
following proposition sets forth fairly
the position of the question: First, that
timothy hay cut at seed formation will
yield twenty to twenty-five per cent
more than when cut in bloom; second,
that a pound of timothy cut at seed
formation contains more available nu-
triton than a pound cut at bloom; third,
that timothy cut in bloom is more pal
atable and therefore will be eaten in
greater quantity, and therefore in this
respect more economically; and fourth,
that the point at which the sacrifice of
p~alatableness becomes great enough to
overcome greater yields is n for prac-
tice to determine, if it is at all deter
minable, and that this point will vary
with feeding conditions, including the
skill of the feeder. / hold that, under
skillful management, as a rule it is
economy to let timothy pass out of
bloom before cutting, but not to ap-
proximate closely to seed ~ripening, the
exact stage being unknown and un-
movable without first knowing how it
is to be fed. My advice is to avoid
either extreme of cutting in early bloom
or full seed.-J. W. Sanborn, in Coun-
try Gentlemen.

The total corn land now being cult

The total corn land now being cult
waited by American farmers is an am
pire in itself, double as it is the total
surface area of Turkey in Europe, and
five times as large as the whole of
Greece. 1t has been frequently pointed
out that the selling price of corn has
little influence upon the area devoted
to the crop. Less than twenty per cent
of the crop leaves the farm in the shape
of grain, the great bulk being marketed
on the hoOf. 1t is the American crop
and when sold in the shape of beef,
pork and mutton it is the paying pro-
duct of American agriculture. Amer

The millets are used quite extensively

The millets are used quite extensively
for catch crops, Hungarian being most
common in the East, while the ordinary
and German millets are more popular
in the West. They are valuable in
that they can be sown late and develop
rapidly, often being ready for forage
thirty days from the time of Seeding.
When the hay is short, these serve as
valuable supplementary crops. They
deplete the soil very rapidly, however.
The soil should be rich and given thor
ough preparation. Sow from one-half
to three pecks of seed per acre broad
cast harrow in lightly, then rol!.-New
England Homestead.
