MILK SANITATION.
Points For Creamery Men Who Want to
Supply the Great Cities.

Points For Creamery Men Who Want to
Supply the Great Cities.
julius Maldenhawer of Washington,
in letter to The Breeders Gazette,
says that the average creamery men who
only make butter aud cheese and who
never tried to supply cream or milk for
family use generally give very little
thought to sterilization. Still am sure
if they would make more use of the steam
which they have SO easy at hand many
trouble in their products would be
overcome, the cause Of which now is
mystery to them. | consider it of the
utmost importance that all utensils and
implements used for milk should be
boiled or steamed Watts. churns and
large implements, after being washed
and rinsed with hot water, should be
steamed by applying a steam hose, es
pecially to all seams. The fact is that
no matter how carefully we scrub and
wash germs of all kinds will breed and
keep~alive i'll all cracks and out of the
way places, and only steam or boiling
water can kill them or at least make
them harmless. Therefore it is also
very important that the patron who
supplies milk to the creamery should
have some sort CT steam boiler, SO that
he can also sterilize all his milking
pals, cans and strainers. As to strain
ers | consider none better on the farm
than several layers of thin muslin or
butter cloth or light flannel, but quite
a number of such should always be i'll
use, so that those just used can be thor
oughly cleaned, boiled and air dried be-
fore again being used. AS to the ship
ping cans, if the creamery man is not
quite sure that they are scalded as they
should be on the farm he must so ar
range that they are cleaned and steamed
at the creamery before being returned.
This is really always the best plan, ex
cept when sweet or even pasteurized
skimmiIk is taken back in them. To
haul sour milk back in the shipping
cans is such an old fashioned nuisance
that no respectable creamery should
permit it. We all know how much
easier work it is to clean can as soon
as emptied than after several hours ex-
posure 20 hot air and allowed to dry and
harden the remnant of milk i'll the

Much of the future cow value de-
ponds upon the care and feed it gets
during the first few months of its life.
The spring dropped calf is usually wean-
ed from the skimmilk ration by the
time it is months old, for by this time
the COW begins to decrease her milk
product, and there is an increasing de-
mand for more milk for other uses dur
ing the season Of summer fruits and
when ice cream is in demand 1t will
not matter to the calf, however, if its
milk supply is cut off if the calf is
thereafter fed with as great variety of
food as possible. Whole skimmilk is too
and as its solid is mainly casein it is
also too constipating. When we raised
calves, we used to dilute the skimmill1
with hot dishwater. This warmed the
milk and prevented it from chilling the
stomach. We also added some warm
porridge made by cooking two table
spoonfuls of oatmeal i'll boiling water,
stirring itrapidly until cooked through.
On this diet calves throve quite as we'll
as they did on milk, and another adj
vantage was that calves thus fed got
into the habit of eating heartily of
everything that was offered, and this
habit they kept through life. Skimmilk
is SO hard to digest that if it is long fed
exclusively the digestive organs are
likely to be permanently injured.

Desirable cabbages.

The Winningstadt is an especially
desirable variety on light soils and
forms compact, hard head that is ex-
cellent for shipping long distances, says
the Denver Field and Farm. Some
strains of this seed are as early as the
Henderson. Fotler's Improved Bruins
wick is a very excellent variety to come
in after the Henderson and forms large,
firm heads. If Wakefield, Henderson
and Fotler's Improved Brunswick are
sowed at the same time, they will come
into marketable condition in the order
named, and one will succeed the other
very closely. A very good variety for
late use is Fotler's Improved Bruins
wick, which natures fine large head
and is very certain to head. Winning
stadt in light soils is the most certain
to form heads, but on good land some
larger heading variety is better.

We have had a number of messes of
kale green's the young sprouts (this
years growth) cut off the plants of
kale or German green's that were raised
from seed last summer and wintered
over in the field. The plants are quite
hardy, and usually come through the
winter all right. just as soon as the
ground thaws out in spring new growth
begins and these sprouts are very ten
der and fine.
We sow seed in July right where we
want the plant to grow and remain dur
ing the winter, exactly in the same way
as we raise most of our late cabbage,
making the rows three feet apart, but
leaving the plants little closer in the
rows than late cabbages are usually
planted. When the plants have some
size, leave but one in place and Guilt
vate same as cabbage. IT. Greiner in

How the Famous Financier Was Taken In
by SwindIer.
Baron Rothschild was visited one day
by decrepit old man, who showed him a
beautiful bit of porcelain
Sir" said the man, 81 have brought
this plate for your inspection. 1t is a
piece belonging to perfect set which has
no duplicate and is the last remnant Of
my fortune. had hoped to retain it as
long as l live, but many misfortunes have
befallen me, and / must part with it as
have parted with my other treasures "
The baron examined the plate and at
once coveted it, for he loved fine porcelain.
How much do you want for the service
entirei" he asked.
Let me explain, said the old man.
You see how bowed down l am by years
and misfortunes. l wish to end my days
in comparative comfort, and / ask that
you give me a monthly income for my life
of 100 francs instead of single payment.
Then shall not be able to squander the
money, nor can it be got away from me
by robbers or swindlers The yearly sum
Is only little to you, and am SO poor and
so oldl''
$50 be it" said the baron after another
AAopSOuAO1 VI viz PlhU6. 1u6 urSO pay
ment shall be given to you when you de-
liver the service, and l will have your
name entered on the books of my treas
urer :"
The set was delivered by the man in
person on the same day. Exactly month
later young and vigorous Hebrew enter
ed the Office of the bank at moment
when the baron was himself present and
demanded the second payment He was
referred to the baron, who looked upon
him with surprise
You are not the person with whom
had dealings" exclaimed the banker
He was old and decrepit, while you are
stong and erect and cannot be a day over
3d.
But am tho same nevertheless, " said
the man, assuming a tone and posture
which the baron recognized at once,
Doubtless | appeared to be at least 80
when saw you last. am 80 years
younger than that, and, thanks to your
magnificent generosity, have completely
recovered my health, but if you see fit to
repudiate the bargain shall not COM
plain.
The baron looked flxedly at the ingeni-
GUS swindler for few moments
You are an excellent comedian and you
have played your part so well as to earn
the annuity, to say nothing Of the porce-
lain, which is as beautiful as expected
You shall have the money regularly and
you should always remember when you re-
ceive it that you have taken me in COM
pietely."
Perhaps am the first who has done
that. " said the impostor, whose heart was
probably In his mouth all the time, land
hope may be the last. Z"
Then the two bowed politely. the money
was paid, and the man went away. For
years certainly he received 100 francs every
month and perhaps Is still getting it.
Guests Of Baron Rothsohild never fail to
admire the porcelain set, and sometimes
the baron himself relates how he came by
it.-New York Press,

VEGETABLE GARDENINo.S



and destroying Insects.
1t is very important that training be
begun at All early stage with such sub
jects as require it. Tomatoes probably
require more attention in this respect
than any general vegetable grown. The
stems not being of sufficient strength to
support themselves long, they are easily
thrown down by wind or rain and once
on their side the points will turn in an
upward direction in few hours time,
thus causing bend which renders them
awkward to tie up and gives them a
neglected appearance which it takes
them some time to outgrow.
All side shoots not required should
be pinched off at an early stage. 1t is
poor policy to allow them to gain
strength and then have to apply the
knife to cut off large shoots, which must
have robbed the plants of much useful
vitality, which might, with a little
care, have been concentrated and put to
better use. We also too often see toma-
toes allowed to run in haphazard
manner over the trellises few shoots
being tied in here and there and others
cut out with no regulation or system
But system always pays, and in these
it will result not only in larger and
much better fruit, but will also consid-
erably increase the yield. Our system is
to take up three shoots from the bottom
of each plant, tying them up one foot
apart (the plants are set three feet apart)
and keeping all side shoots pinched off
as they appear.
Li&na beans, though taking care of
themselves once they get hold on the
poles, should have little assistance at
first, one or two ties being all that is
required. Too many plants should not
be left around each pole, as they only
crowd one another and result in great
many poorly filled pods. Three plants
to pole is as general rule quite suffi-
cient, but it is we'll to make sure that
they are pretty well established before
thinning out to that number.
AS early crops, such as peas, spinach,
lettuce etc. are cleared off the ground
should be titled up and again utilized
with paintings of bush beans, celery,
beets, lettuce or whatever is most
wanted
American Gardening is the source Of
the foregoing directions. and it also adj
vises to keep an outlook for bugs Of all
kinds and destroy them as quickly as
possible. Paris green is tAe most effec-
tual remedy where it can be used with
safety. The asparagus beetle can quick
ly be destroyed with this, but it must
never be applied until after cutting is
discontinued. The striped and spotted
beetles which attack melons and cucum-
bers may be kept in check by the lib
eral application of tobacco powder,
which should be well applied under the
plants, as it is on the underside of the
leaf that the pests usually harbor.

Profitable Cheating.

In spite of honesty being the best
policy, says correspondent of an agri-
cultural exchange, 1t sometimes pays to
practice little deception upon the
COW. The analyses Of corn fodder and
wheat straw are practically the same if
we leave out of consideration the pro-
tein. This is of course the most impor-
tant element as far as millmaking is
concerned, but if we have only limited
amount of rough feed it is cheaper to
buy the protein in some concentrated
form and use the available carbohy-
drates in the wheat straw-that Is pro-
vided the stock will eat the straw. And
here is where l have always stuck, for
my stock have positively refused to eat
straw. This year | cut up some fodder
that was rather damp to store and to
keep it cut up some wheat straw at the
same time and mixed with the fodder.
supposed that the stock would eat the
fodder and leave the straw, but they
ate the straw just as clean as the fod-
der. suppose that the two being stored
together the straw absorbed the scent
of the fodder, and thereby became more
palatable to the stock Anyway they
ate it, and as | am short of roughage
this year all my cut fodder shall have
an addition of straw to help out. In
this way shall utilize some of the
feeding value Of the straw that would
otherwise go to waste. 1t is perfectly
sweet and wholesome and will i'll no
way injure the flavor of the milk or
butter, nor will it in any way injure
the stock to which it is fed

HOODS JERSEYS.


A Herd Founded on Five Worlds Fair
Tavorites.
Immediately after the Worlds fair
at Chicago in 1898 the dairy depart
ment of the big Hood farm at Lowell,
Mass, began to breed Jerseys in accord
ance with the lessons which the exposi-
ton taught Mr.. Hood had already es-
tablished nice herd of grade Jerseys
and stud of fine horses. His expert
ments in breeding had led to study and
reflection and close observation, and he
determined to put to the test certain
theories of his own in the development
Of the Jersey COW. To this end he be-
gan to look for animals most clearly
possessing the characteristics which he
deemed most valuable, and as result
five of the cows that helped to establish
the superiority Of the Jersey at the
Worlds fair became the foundation OF
his herd, and in five years Hood farm
has forged to the head of the Jersey
breeding establishments of America, il
not of the world. OF these five cows two
were Brown Bessie and Merry Maiden,
which led the prize winners in the sew
eral tests, and Brown Bessie's son is
still the head of the herd, and Merry
Maiden, who at Chicago was a 5-year-
old of unmatured but splendid promise,
is now the famous matron of the farm,
while Merry Maiden's SOL, a youngster
of only a few months, combines the
virtues of his illustrious dam and of
Brown Bessie's son, his equally illus
trious sire.
Science has decreed that only the
most economically productive dairy cow
can be of profit 10 the dairy farmer, and
such a COW has to be more than the
sporadic phenomenon, the freak Of
the breeders luck, which gives an enor-
nous quantity of milk under forcing
and for single week or possibly month.
Such a COW must have record, both
by right of heredity and the right of
performances
In other words, only that COW can be
profitable that shows a net excess OF

Forage For Hogs.

'.The Alfalfa Hog" opened up the
whole subject of forage for stock. Per-
sonal experiences were given in regard
to the relative merits of alfalfa clover,
sugar beets and sorghum as feed Alfal-
ia was generally favored for hay, but as
pastuAe on most soils it will kill out
in short time if hogs are turned on it.
DR.. Peters of the state farm condemned
alfalfa as feed for either horses or cat
tie. Experiments conducted there show
that if eaten when damp it results in
windbroken horses and bloated COWS.
Several valuable animals were lost. On
the contrary, S. Andrews of Friend.
who had both alfalfa and clover pas
lures, reported that he lost but one ami
NAL on alfalfa as against nine on Glow
er. Where the two seeds are sown to-
gether hogs prefer the clover. As for
age plant sorghum was favored by sew
eral speakers.
