DOES EDUCATION PAY
The Kansas College Dairy Finds
That 1t Does.

The Kansas College Dairy Finds
That 1t Does.
Before the LIST of April, 1899, the
herdsman at the Kansas Agricultural
college was man with no special
training along agricultural lines. He
was a good man to do what he was
told and to draw his salary, but there
his interest ended. When asked how
the recent snowstorm or change Of
feed affected the milk yield of his
cows, he didn't know, although he had
weighed and recorded each milking.
During this time the college was feed
ing four head of calves on skimmilk,
and this herdsman made them gain
at the rate of 80 pounds per month per
head, or 1.I2 pounds per day.
On the 1st of April graduate of the
college and special student in dairy
ing took up the work of herdsman.
He is man that is constantly on the
alert for new developments. When
milking a fresh COW, he can scarcely
wait until the milk is weighed in or
der to see if there is gain or loss
from previous milkings. When the
calves are weighed, he wants to know
Immediately how much they gained.
With the same feeds at his command
he made the four calves mentioned
above gain an average of 90 pounds
per head per month, or Is pounds per.
day, an increase of 60 per cent. This
was done by carefully watching the
calves. The moment one of them be-
gan to scour he saw it, reduced the
supply of milk. gave little castor oil
and in various other ways sought to
bring it back to normal condition. This
was accomplished in about "a hours,
when the calf would keep on gaining
at the rate of pound and half or
two pounds per day.
Yet there are farmers who say that
education don't pay and that book
learning is a farce. There is no pro-
fession in the universe that allows n
greater display of intellect than farm
ing, and nowhere is it needed more in
order to increase the profits. The farm
err is called upon to solve questions in
soil physics, in chemistry, botany, en-
tomology, bacteriology, veterinary sci
ence-and, in fact can call into play
a knowledge of all the sciences and
arts. To do this he must be educated
This education not only makes him a
better farmer, but makes his work a
pleasure. No one who has not ex-
perienced it can appreciate the sat
isfaction that comes from seeing a

Impure Water.

The dirty brook should be a theme
for thought by more than one dairy
man. The man that has no running
brook on his farm is more likely to
have good water for his cows than the
man that thinks he is blessed by a
stream Of running water. Where the
stream is rapid moving and fairly deep
it may serve for a drinking place the
year round, but in most Of our western
states the conformation of the land is
not such that stream is either swift
or deep or clear. In states that are
filed with mountains and hills and
forests the streams to a large extent
remain pure the year round. The soil
on their banks is held in place by
multitude of vegetable growths. Ere
quently they run over a bed of stones
and are little exposed to impurities
from the immediate banks. Such
brooks may, in mountainous localities,
serve as suitable drinking place for
the cattle most of the year or until the
summer drought renders them stag
nant. But in this great level country
of the west conditions are different.
The ordinary brook should never be
depended on as the water supply for
the cattle. There are few times in the
year when it is safe for them to drink
from it if the dairyman wants to keep
both animals and animal products
pure. In the midsummer especially it
is positive detriment to the dairy
business. The man with the Shiny,
muddy brooks too often neglects to
have pure water supply, which his
brother farmer, who has no brook, is
compelled to supply. We have seen
such streams in summer become mud
dy wallows where the cows both stood
and drank. There is no doubt that
animals, like humans, contract many
diseases solely through bad drinking
water. On many farms the conforma-
ton of the land Is such that shallow
streams may be made sanitary by
deepening the central channel and
sinking a few shallow wells in their
beds at various places if the pasture is
so large that the cattle would have to
travel great distance on hot day to
get water.-Farmers' Review.

Renovated Butter.

B. d. White describes in The Dairy
Reporter recent visit to a renoyating
establishment 1t must be understood
that no one not connected with the
concern was allowed admission, but
being armed with the necessary Gre
dentials-a search warrant-we were
not refused admission to this secret
den where loud butter was hushed and
green, white and gray butter made
yellow, sour butter made sweet, and,
in fact, everything that was not butter
was turned into butter
The first floor had the appearance of
an ordinary butter store or commission
house. A long whiskered man in
charge was asked to lead the way,
which he did after some hesitation. A
door leading into a dark hall was
opened, and Immediately behind it was
another leading to the cellar. There
was only room enough for one man at
time, and the first door had to be
closed before the second could be
opened, leaving one in perfect dark
ness. A long, narrow, dark stairway
led to the basement. After reaching
the bottom no one can imagine what
first drew our attention. With dim
light of a kerosene lamp we COM
menced the search and found what
renovated butter was made from. But
ter and buffers white butter, green
butter, brown butter, soft butter but
ter old enough to talk loud, butter old
enough to walk, butter in jars, boxes,
tubs, tins, cans and barrels.
A door was discovered, pushed open
and we were in the workroom where
the secret process was carried on. 4
large wooden tank about 5 feet in di-
ameter and feet high was in one cor
ner A trapdoOr from the floor above
was discovered, which probably was
used in filling the tank from above.
Steps leading up to the tank were
climbed, after slipping back two or
three times on account Of the grease
on them, and there is where the melt
ing or renovating was going on. This
was heated with a set Of steam pipes
leading from q boiler In another cor
ner. From the tank the oil was drawn
off and cooled in another set of tanks,
and from there it was put into churn

MIX For Making Growth.

The milk Of the Jersey and Guernsey
breeds Of cows averages higher in but
ter fats than that of the larger breeds.
But this richest milk is by no means
the best for babies, and those who in
mistaken kindness order pure Jersey
milk find that it needs to be largely
diluted with water, or it will curdle in
the stomach. The milk Is too rich is
the reason why SO many babies sicken
when fed on cows milk. The milk
from mothers breast has less casein
and fats than that from COW. Even
for the calf the milk from its dam Is
generally too rich. 1t will fatten the
calf, but it will be at the expense of
growth. One reason perhaps why the
Jersey breed is understood is because
it's calves are for time allowed to
suck undiluted milk from their dams
until their digestion is injured. -Bos-

Persistent Milking Wins.

Last season. when the price for
calves went skyward, many farmers
who had patronized the creamery and
they could see more money and less
bother in letting the calves suck the
cows. The indications are that this
year calves will not be worth as much
money, and as the cattle stock of the
country increases to the normal calves
will further decrease in value. Those
farmers who stopped milking and
turned in the calves will then see the
mistake they made. They will find
that their cows are not nearly as good
mixers as they We're before, and it
will take them several years to build
up an efficient dairy herd again.
II there is any one thing about dairy
ing that has been thoroughly and COM
pletely demonstrated, it is that milk
ing makes mixers. The best COW in
the world can be ruined as mixer in
comparatively short time by simply
letting the calf suck her or by care
lessness In milking. The poorest cow
can be improved by continued and per-
sistent milking. The man who has 10

Winter beets are sown in July and

60 to 70 feet of drill. Early varieties
may be used in 80 to 60 days. The
roots will be mature in about $50 days.
