time that milk from healthy animal
leo On clean feed is in any way at
iected as to its digestibility by any
iced or combination of feeds, says
Hoard's Dafryman.
The same objection that is made to
cotton-seed meal has also been raised
against ensilage, but Mr.. H. B. Gurler,
VINO Is supplying Chicago with grade
OF milk especially used by children
ana lnvalids, uses silage freely. II
care is taken to use feeds that ere
Tree from strong flavors, or II high
havored foods are fed after the ami
mas are MIXED, the milk will have
no other than its natural sweet flavor
provided that precautions are taken
as TO the cleanliness of the animal,
stable and vessels holding the milk.
mat there is difference in the diges-
llplilty OF milk from individual cows
is well known to every doctor. 1t
frequently happens that several ami
mails have to be tried before one is
FOUND whose milk Is suited to the
stomach Of delicate child. We have
not yet, however, arrived at the point
where we can say that any clean food,
such as cotton-seed meal, or other
reeds OF like nature, makes the casein
OF the milk less digestible, and that
Its use should be discontinued in con-
sequence. At the same time it should
be recognized that any food, If given
IN such quantities as to affect the
health of the animal, will in many
cases cause the milk to become unfit
to use.
Dairy Notes.
The passage of the Dunlap-Lyons
pure food bill by the Illinois hgisla-
ture gives the consumers and produce
ers Of dairy products in Illinois some
hope that they will be enabled to get
some protection against frauds in the
form OF authorizations and preserva-
tives. The thing that is now needed
is to have commissioner appointed
that will discharge his duties with
regard to public interests. The task
has become almost herculean by rea-
son Of the long years of delay. Illi-
nois has proved rich territory to be
worked in the interests Of every man
ufacturer Of so-called preservatives as
well as for the manufacturers of spur
ious butter. Give us men that have
the energy and honesty that present
circumstances require.
The shipment of butter is almost a
science in itself. By reason of too lit
tie thought in this regard the shippers
of butter frequently suffer consider
ably. If man is to send forward a
good deal Of butter of different quail
ties it is very necessary for the de-
scription of his goods to be such that
it will be understood by the commits
sion man to whom they are shipped
or by other customers. If it happens
that two qualities are in the same
batch, the whole is likely to be judged
by either the good or the bad. If it is
judged by the bad, the price he re-
ceives will be low. If it is judged by
the good, then the bad butter may
spoil good customer. It is best not
to try to deceive the commission man
or any customer.
The state Of Washington has just
put into operation law that will GER
tainly prove effective If it is properly
enforced. It provides for state
brand for both butter and cheese. The
cheese is to be labelled Washington
Full Cream cheese and can be made
only from whole milk and must con-
tain not less than 30 per cent Of but
ter fat. No cheese is to be made con-
tanning less than Is per cent Of but
ter fat. Filled cheese will be sup
pressed with an iron hand. A uniform
butter brand stencil reading Wash
ington Creamery Butter" is to be is
sued to the creameries and no butter
made outside Of the state can have the
use Of this stencil. One good point
about the new law is that it prohibits
the buying Of oleomargarine by any
state institution. This will put stop
to the use of oleo in the poor houses
and other institutions Of like chance
ter. All milk dealers in cities Of over
1000 inhabitants must have licenses.
Process butter may be made, but must
be marked Renovated Butter" %
Utilizing skim-Milk.-skim-milk has
heretofore been almost Q waste prod
;uct in many creameries. It has not
been utilized to the advantage Of either,
the screameryman or patron. Itsvalue.
for feeding purposes has been almost
entirely DESTROYED. and the farmer who
offered It to his calves or pigs felt
almost ashamed Of himself to think he
would provide such upwholesome, mis-
cradle rations for their use. But with
better enlightenment on this subject
and facilities for doing It in better
shape. they are beginning to utilize
skim-milk n such way that many
OF the farmers nov consider 1t worth
from Is to 20 cents per hundred for
feeding purposes alone.- Elgin Dairy
