We have pointed ont in this column a :
lumber OF times the several reasons
Why Il cows milk will vary in the test =
rom month to month. The test is rarely .
Uniform, either n way or the other, :
.ven with the individual COW. At the 4,
fair dairy test a prize Jersey =
.ested as low as 80 one day and up to y
81 another. But aside from the dis
and general condition Of the ,
themselves, the care Of the milk
has a great deal to do with it. Every
farmers wife knows this, when it comes
to getting all the butter there is to be
had out Of it. The milk is not coming
into the Kimball creamery in as good
condition as a few weeks ago when tn
weather was cooler; the test shows it
and SO does the yield from the churn.
The grass is rank and watery to be
sure, but we think many are not cooling
their milk out as thoroughly as they
might. The ooner milk can be cooled
down to so degrees and held their the
better. Many have the idea that il the
buttermaker would but accept their
milk, even Ii it was a little changed,
they would be all right and not the
l0oser for lack of attention and failure
to take the trouble to properly cool the
milk. According to leading authorities
milk after it has begun to change will
not test as high, and patrons conse-
quently not get what they should out of
their milk. Hoard's Dairyman prints
the following rules which may help
some to overcome the difficulty:
1st. AS soon as milk begins to sour,
the cream stops rising, and it cannot be
thoroughly separated in the centrifugal;
therefore keep it cool and sweet.
End. This can be done by thoroughly
aerating the milk; keeping it in acool
airy place; throwing over it a wet wooden
blanket, and frequently wetting the
blanket; keeping it in cool running
water.
3rd. 1t can be kept sweet by thorough
cleansing the milk vessels; not allow
ing the milk to stand i'll the barn or
stable a moment after 1t is drawn from
the COW. Be thoroughly clean in the
habit OF milking. Thorough effort In
these two directions, keeping milk cool
and sweet. will make a gain during hot
weather Of 10 to 40 per cent in the but,
ter yield.
The capacity OF the K,mball cream
cry has just been doubled, and til,

The statement made by L. N. Hunte
to the Madison Leader that the 10
creameries in the state are bringing t
d the farmers at the present time about
quarter of a million of dollars pc
t month ought to open the eyes of peopl
to the Importance Of this indus1r
a which has quietly grown up in the las
j. four years.-Sloux Falls Argus.
When r. +. Jones was at Cresco, 10 WE
: at the farm Of a breeder of Red Pole
cattle who makes it his business raisinj
registered calves for sale, Mr.. Jones wa
told that the owner OF the herd Away
figured on getting from $1,000 to $l.3N
worth Of milk from his herd in addition
=, to the young stock sold. The point W
wish to make is that if breeders can &c
IS from 500 to $3.50 for yearling calvc
t.. raised on skim-milk what becomes q
the theory that it pays better to let tn
calves run with the cOwsI
A careful test OF q herd of Red Pole
= cows in England from 1887 to 1897, tel
" years. showed a variation Of different in
~dividuals Of the anne family Of 80
to 500 per cent Of butter fat.
Even when the cows are not aspeciall,
: wanted for dairy purposes 1t is most i'm
= portant for calf-rearlng that they shoul,
: yield a copious supply Of milk COW
= that cannot rear a calf ought to be dis
: carded. Breeders ought to cultivate as
! %siduouslY the milking properties Of
= their cows. The production OF beef ant
: milk are quite compatible in the SAM
breed and that is what should be aimee
at. What is a cow worth that canno
;. rear her calf, and what is q starved cal
: worth after it is reared?
h An old woollen sack ripped open OIL
j one side and end makes just the thing II
o throw over a COW during milking time
Or a COW blanket can be made Of any oil
; burlap. One blanket for each mixer
J. when there is a herd, is sufficient. l
. saves that everlasting and annoying
q switching Of that pesks tail.
n In five years the creameries of Soutl
Dakota have grown from five to oyer on,
n hundred. Where creameries are planted
e it is safe to say stubble farming grow
beautifully less. Miller Press.
