eve know of a patron whose aver
age test in May was 1 6-10 to the 1907
says Jensen's Dairyman, Beloit, Kan.
Upon investigation we found the
cause of this very low test. The patron
made a practice of milking a portion
of each cows milk and then letting the
calf suck the rest. We here have an
actual fact, proving what previous ex-
periments have shown, that the first
milk from COW is very thin, getting
gradually richer. 1t has been found
that the first quart of milk MIXED
from COW tested eight-tenths, while
the last quart of milk secured tested II
per cent. Our readers will readily see
the Importance of clean milking, job
that should be done by the most relia-
BILE and trustworthy person on the
farm. We must also reckon with the
animal instinct of the COW. She
doesn't give up her milk willingly, and
If she is not MIXED clean or if she
knows that her calf will get the last
share of the milk she will be particu-
larly careful in reserving the best and
richest portion"

A COW left alone and having room to
move about freely will usually take all
the exercise she needs and at the time
she needs it. All attempts Of her owner
to force her to take exercise will prove
not only useless but injurious. Some

has full stomach requires to be driv-

That may be a partial remedy when
the COW is bloated and lies down. She
is then full Of gas and some motion of

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

Governor Taylor of Tennessee tells of
an interesting interview with pardon

ushered into his presence.

"Ah, sir, my man he's been put in
prison, sir, and want to ask if you
won't let him out. +"
The governors face hardened, He
had not, after all, escaped the pardon
seekers. But he did not turn her away.
"What was he sent up for?' he asked.
"You see, sir, he was hungry, and
he just stole ham to keep us from
starving"
"Well, I'm sorry, but can't do any
thing for you. Your man must serve
his sentence. There's too much stealing
going on.
"Oh, gov'nor, please, please let him
out, pleaded the woman, the tears
flowing down her cheeks. The tears had
their effect. The governor softened.
Stealing a ham was not such a very
terrible crime, and this poor woman no
doubt needed her husband He decided
to question her little.

The natural end of healthy milk is to

it at a maximum price should carefully
observe the above principles. Another
thing, most small winter butter maxi
ers do not color their product uniform
ly. The average consumer, although he
is fully aware that the butter he is eat
ing is artiicially colored, likes to see it
of natural hue. 1t really tastes better
to have it so, which proves how much
the eye acts as guide to the palate.
The worst mistake is in coloring the
butter too highly, which is almost as
bad as not coloring it enough. A happy
medium is in striking shade of the
natural color of the June product.
With small makers this compels the
greatest accuracy in measurement and
the employment of perfectly reliable
brand of butter color.

Big Waste.

Edward Atkinson makes very sharp,
keen remark when, in writing about
the fearful waste of both skimfnilk and
cornstalks, he says in effect that he
does not know much about farming,
but when he sees this waste going on
all because of the ignorance of men he
has right to conclude that the aver
age farmer himself really knows but
little of farming. Little as Mr.. Atkin-
son knows, remarks Hoard's Dairyman,
he knows enough to see this big waste,
whereas he talks with lots of farmers
who don't know it, nor can they see it,
Pope says something about familiarity
breeding contempt. Is that not the Sc
cret of this matter? So many farmers
have for so long time been accus-
toned to this wasteful way Of handling
cornstalks and skimmilk that they
really cannot see the wastefulness of it.
But Mr. Atkinson is right clear away
right, when he speaks of this fearful
waste. Let it be remembered always
that 40 per cent of the combined value
of the corn plant is in the stalk. Let
every farmer take that fact as his guide
and then so shape his farm methods,
feeding methods and all methods as
to save all of that waste possible. Let
him also remember that 40 per cent has
been once earned by his own expendi-
ture for labor, and he must pay for the
growing Of it. If he wastes 40 per cent
of what he earns, the responsibility
rests on him and NOT on Providence
full study and consideration of that
fact will be enough to lead any man
out into better and more saving meth
DDS if he will but follow it's teachings.

doors In MIX.

The statement made by Professor
Russell of the Wisconsin experiment
station that he had put warm milk in
the vicinity of several substances hav-
ing strong odors and that at blood heat
1t absorbed any odors more rapidly than
did cold milk is of itself sufficient
reason for removing the milk from the
stable as soon as the milking is com
pleted for each COW and putting it
where it will be in pure air or taking
it at once to the dairy room. But it
shows quite as strongly the need of hav-
ing pure air free from bad odors in the
stables while the milking is being done.
The stream as it passes from the teat
exposes much of its surface to the air,
and it is ready, even in that short
pass from teat to pail, to pick up all
the odors, bacterial germs and dust
with which it comes in contact.
