Milk is deceptive article so far as
weight is concerned. In herd of so
cows samples of milk can be taken from
individual animals that show interest
ing conditions when placed upon the
scales. They will show that some cows
will yield 2 pounds to 4 4 quarts, while
her nearest neighbor produces milk
which weighs 2 pounds to ~ pints,
says The Orange Judd Farmer. 1t does
not seem to make much difference what
the breed is or how much milk they
produce. The milk is little lighter in
summer than it is in winter. 1t is hard
ly possible to find dozen cows whose
milk will weigh alike, but when mixed,
if there are not too many in the lot that
give very heavy milk, it will weigh out
pounds to good full quart every
time. The family that buys from the
man keeping but one COW is liable to
get quite little less Of weight when
buying quart than as though the
quart was taken from the mixed milk
of a dozen cows

Feeding the Calf.

The advantage in being able to save
all the cream while at the same time
raising as good a calf in every way
makes it an item to feed the calf rather
than to let it suck Some prefer to take
away the calf Immediately, while 9th
ers prefer to let it suck for three days.
The calf will suck in little while after
it is dropped No matter how much the
cows udder is infamed, she will let the
calf suck and butt to its hearts con-
tent. Many think it is better to let the
calf suck on this account, as it tends to
lessen infammation and in this way
lessons the liability to milk fever. Then,
if the calf is with her, the COW will be
much better satisfied and will keep more
quiet. This is a condition very desir-
able, for at this time there is feverish
condition of the system that little ex-
element may easily make dangerous.
But if the calf is allowed to suck three
days both the COW and calf will fret
more than if separated at once. In Ell
Their case it is comparatively an easy
matter to teach the calf to drink, and
once taught it is far less trouble to feed
it twice day than to let it suck, while
the amount of its ration can be gauged
much more accurately. The calf should
be given whole milk for the first week
or ten days; then a little skimmilk
should be given, decreasing the quantity
of whole milk and continuing to in
crease the proportion of skimmilk till all
skimmilk can be fed. The skimmilk ra-
tion can be somewhat improved by boil
ing linseed meal in water to a jelly and
adding little of it to the skimmilk.
This takes the place of the cream. The
skimmilk must always be given sweet
and warm and no more than is readily
drunk up at each meal on account of
the risk of the scours, disease easier
for the calf to get than for the owner to
cure st. Louis Republic.

BACTERIA In MIX.

Bacteria in milk, which either favor
ably or unfavorably affects it and its
products, is the lowest form of vegeta-
BILE life. The milk can is a good deal
like the farmers field with respect to
vegetable growth. Every farmer knows
that unless he takes very good care of
his fields they will be filed with weeds
that not only possess no value of their
own, but are seriously injurious to
those forms of vegetable life that are
useful. Similarly bacterial vegetation
exploits itself in the milk can. Unless
you take care Of tho milk can those
forms corresponding to the weeds-that
is, the hurtful kind-wilI multiply inn
mensely and destroy the usefulness of
the milk and of the helpful kind of veg
citation in it, whereas those that are
helpful to the milk and its products
must be carefully cultivated and the
hurtful kind kept out

ICE REFRIGERATION.
How to secure the Best Results at
Least Cost.


How to secure the Best Results al
Least Cost.
Some II years ago, writes George Ell.
Gurler Of Illinois, Fl. B. Gurler and
myself built our first creamery and re-
frigerator. We thought it sufficient to
partly surround a tightly closed room
with ice, so on one side Of our icehouse
we made room about IL by IS and s
feet high and packed the ice on one side
and overhead when we filled the house
When warm weather came, the sides
and ceiling began to gather moisture,
and the room was wet and damp. The
ice, too, melted rapidly, and the whole
thing was unsatisfactory.
Some years later we thought we could
improve this room by creating circu-
lation Of air. This we did by putting
the ice in the top of the room and al
lowing the hot air to pass around the
Ice and become cooled. By later expert
ence / am satisfied that our idea of Gre
ating circulation was all right, but
our way of doing it was not.
AS type Of later and better re-
frigerator it might be well to describe
one recently built. This room is ap-
proximately s by 10 and feet high,
made of three thicknesses Of matched
lumber and building paper laid in such
shape as to leave two air spaces ~
inches wide around the sides and top.
The door into the butter room is made
the same way and Hanged like the door
of SAFE One window with double
sashes and blinds admits what light is
necessary.
In one side of this room is built the
box or rack for the ice It is feet long
by 8 feet wide and extends from the
ceiling to within q feet of the floor.
The bottom is made Of 2 by set edge
wise two inches apart and capable of
easily supporting the 10 to Is cakes of
ice the rack is designed to hold. The
drip from the ice is carried off by tin
conductor under the by 8. The sides
and ends Of the box are boarded up to
within six inches of the ceiling, which
space is left open, one side of this rack
being also the side of the building The
Ice is easily put in through small
closely fitting door.
I think better circulation is obtain
ed and less ice used by having the ice
near the floor as in the above room, the
cold, heavy air passing from around the
ice to the floor and the warm, light air
being forced from the top of the room
through the space at the top of the ice
rack and in turn becoming cooled. This
room is as dry and sweet as any room in
the building, and no particle of moisture
or dampness gathers either on the sides
of the room or on the tubs of butter.
I used from 40 to so tons Of ice in
this refrigerator last season and had as
high as So to 80 tubs per week in it.
The temperature was low enough
throughout the summer to keep the but
ter in good shape think an average Of
80 degrees F. would not be unreason-
able,

POOR FLAVOR.
MOI Wholly the Fault of Either
Creamery or Patron.

Creamery or Patron.
The Creamery Journal some time ago
warned butter makers against unload
ing the blame for poor favor altogether
on the shoulders Of the patrons. It was
pointed out that some crea1neries turn
out butter OF fine flavor regardless of
outside weather conditions, and that
some OF them turn out butter with de-
fects OF "the season" in it. When the
climatic conditions are good, the butter
is good.
This, adds The Creamery Journal,
has given the makers of heaters SO ar
ranged that the steam does not come
into contact with the milk chance to
introduce their wares. This is good for
them. 1t has placed improved heaters
IN creameries, and the improved flavor
has been good for the butter, good for
the reputation Of the butter maker,
good for the commission nan who han
dies the butter, good for the man who
furnishes the milk, as it assures the
market and the price, good for the con-
sumner, as he has better butter and eats
more of it; good all along the line
We wish to give the butter maker all
honor for what he does and not to
charge him with faults due to the neg
ligence of the patron, and therefore it
must be conceded that when the Their
mometer ranges below zero habitually
the patron is apt to put his milk in the
barn and cover it closely with some old
horse blanket, with the covers down
tight This is all wrong. Such milk
will not be in first class condition for
the making Of first class butter, no mat
ter how skillfully and agonizingly the
butter maker may handle it. Our con-
tention is and has been that the respon-
sibility is divided, and that both par
ties must do the fair thing and not
blame the other party for defects which
are partly the fault of both.
The butter maker is not entirely I'M
protected from the vices of the patron,
however, for he can detect ''smothered
milk as soon as he lifts off the can lid
if he is competent butter maker, and
he can reject it if he is to be held re-
sponsible for the quality of his butter.
We are evidently coming to this: The
milk must be delivered daily or held for
two day delivery under conditions that
will preserve it unimpaired. With milk
heaters which protect the milk from
steam from stale boilers this milk can
be made into butter Of good repute, no
matter how cold the weather.

Honelaaslv Bad Form.

Women should not be tempted by the
display of fancy kid gloves to be seen
in many shops They are hopelessly
bad form. What woman Of exquisite
taste would dream Of donning bright
red, blue or green kids or would be
caught wearing pair Of white suedes
embroidered deliberately in pink or blue
or black in yellow. and whitef The
Parisians are the best gloved women in
the world, and the style Of wearing
suede gloves in white and delicate
shades of tans, grays and browns pre-
walls among them from year TO year.

Cost Of Keeping a Cow.

The daily maintenance of COW va
ries from 16 cents day in New York
and the New England states to cents
a day in Colorado and Nebraska. AS the
dairy business advances toward condi-
tion of the survival of the fittest the
western states have supreme advantages
for cheap production. But where alfalfa
farming is SO easy it is not difficult to
see where we have the cinch in the
question of economy. Denver Field

"She is really pleasing person and
shows no self consciousness or any soup

close fitting black jacket, a black felt
hat with several black feathers, attach
ed at the side by magnificent dia-
mond clasp. The. muf and collarette

quick, dark, penetrating, but not by
any means uncharitable eye. The fea-
lures seem less strong :than few years
ago, and altogether the face is interest
ing and full Of character.

Holding Up MIX.

A dairy writer says: II have heard
much complaint about cows holding up
their milk, and one cause ] find is the
Indifference Of some mixers to the COM
fort of the COW while being MIXED.
Outlines after calving the udders and
teats of COWS will be inhamed and sore,
but through carelessness and inatten-
tion on the part of the mixers this has
been overlooked, and the pain inflicted
by rough handling Of the teats causes a
COW in self defense to hold up her milk
SO as to get rid Of the mixer so much

SOUTH LUXEMBOURG.
The Big Dam COMPLETED.

The big water power at 5-Mile-Falls
on the Connecticut river has been success.
fully damned three miles below the rail
road station. The banks of the river, at
the point and for about three miles above
1t, are so abrupt as to almost form a
ravine, through which there now lies
body of water from 800 to 1000 feet in
width, with depth of 80 feet in some
places. Nearly million feet of logs and
plank and over so tons of iron and steel
have gone into the dam and the pulp
mill, and ten teams and so men have
been engaged four months in hauling
stones to fill the dam. The dam is
shaped like an ordinary gable roof, with
a level space of four feet on top, over
which four to eight feet of water run,
according to the season. The whole
structure from shore to shore is 600 feet
in length, ard the main water channel is
26o feet long. The big pulp mill is built
so as to torn part of the dam, being
built into it between two piers on the
Vermont side.
