little Emmons Blaine was driven over

Mrs Blaine mapped out a plan more COM

thought about. Mrs Parker was won over,
for she herself had large knowledge OF

colonel and before he sailed for Hawaii
that summer il was agreed that the school
should be built. Mrs Blaine selected an

Water For Milk Cows.

The Geneva experiment station claims
to have ascertained that COWS in full
milk need four and three-fifth pounds
of water for each pound Of milk they
yield. AS records have been made by
HOlstein cows, or one at least, of over
100 pounds per day, does this mean
that she took about 60 gallons of water
a day? We can scarcely credit it, al
though we know that green grass or
ensilage contains q large amount Of
water. but we think not enough to
bring her daily allowance up to go gal
Ions a day, even though she was fed
on the most, succulent food. If our
memory serves US rightly, when we
had a dairy herd the COWS which gave
the most milk were not the ones that
drank most heartily at the trough.
When the water was very cold, or
when there was ice in the trough, the
ones that drank the most freely were
the ones that shrank in their milk and
the dry cows. but those which gave
milk continuously were not hearty
drinkers in fall or winter. Will they
not see if they cannot revise those
figures little, or acknowledge excep-
tons to the rule?

There are weedy pastures in the land.
and there are pastures free from
weeds. says The Creamery Journal.
1t. is plain that the more milk from
clean pastures and the less from weedy
pastures we have in the creamery the
better the chance to get a good flavor.
The creamery manager, in order to
manage. must know the farm cond;-
tons Of each and every patron, and the
weedy milk must be separated so as to
run as little milk as possible into the
cream. AS it is not pra cticable to keep
all the milk from clean pastures sepa-
rate from that coming from weedy pas
lures at the weigh can-at least it may
not be practicable-the proper caper is
to separate all the cream, thick and
rich. running the minimum of milk into
the cream. then take same cans of
milk from patrons with pastures free
from weeds, patrons who are neat and
tidy, who keep the milk pure and uncon-
taminated. and dump this milk straight
into the cream vat in sufficient quanti-
ty to insure the right percentage Of fat
in the cream and cause it to ripen in
time. This is winning method-a
winner because it is founded upon ma
ture and common sense.

Richness of Milk.

When there is near prospect of a
pretty high standard for milk being eS-
tablished, it is Of some interest to
learn the conclusions reached bearing
on the question as to some Of the fac
tors determining the richness of milk
by G. D. Smith, after five years study,
and noted in the proceedings of the
Society For Promoting Agricultural
Science The conclusions in question
are:
First.-A COW yields as rich milk as
a heifer as she will as a mature cow.
Second.-The milk is as rich in the
first month of the period of lactatioE
as it will be later, except perhaps dur
ing the last few weeks Of the milk flow,
when the cow is rapidly drying off.
Third.-There is little difference in
seasons as to the quality of the milk.
While the COWS are at pasture the milk
is neither richer nor poorer, on the
average, than the milk yielded when
the COWS were on winter feed.
Fourth.-The milk Of a fair sized
dairy herd varies little in composition
from day to day, and radical varia-
tons in this respect should be viewed
with suspicion.
Practical men might do worse than
study these conclusions and express
draw attention on our part to the con-
clusion regarding sameness in quality
Of winter fed and pastured milk.

Land of Butter Makers.

It is an odd and interesting fact that
Denmark, the butter making country Of
the world, bought from the United
States last year 100000 pounds Of
cleo oil, with which to make oleomar-
garine, and that the Danish farmers
and butter makers use oleomargarine
on their tables. G. NJ. Pay of Copen-
hagen, is in the business of importing
cleo. He came to Kansas City, says The
Star, to see the packing houses and to
make business arrangements. The
butter of Denmark is known for it's
excellence throughout Europe. The
Danish creameries have learned the
scientific way of making the best
butter, and the Danish government has
passed laws to insure it's purity. Eng
land alone last year imported S44 ,OOO,-
900 worth of butter from Denmark,
and yet the Danish farmers spread
oleomargarine on their bread The
reason is simply the frugality of the
Danish butter makers. Their best
butter is worth 40 cents pound Oleo
can be bought for about Is cents a
pound. Therefore, whenever Danish
family eats a pound of oleo it makes
25 cents

working Butter.

If the butter is sufficiently solid and
at the right temperature, SO to 60 de-
grees in summer and two to four de-
grees warmer in winter. the process
Of working can be entirely completed
before taking from the churn. says a
correspondent of The National Stock
man. Should it not be possible in
summer to hold it at proper tempera-
ture and it becomes too soft for final
treatment it may be removed to a
butter bowl and placed where it will
harden, when the finishing touches
may be given.
1t is entirely needless to rework
butter if proper temperature has been
secured. All that working means any
way is to evenly incorporate the salt
and expel the surplus moisture. If this
can be accomplished at one operation
further manipulation is not only I'M
necessary but altogether harmful, since
every additional stroke of the ladle
after that point has been reached
serves to break the grain and render
the butter salvelike.

Prenare for Drought.

Before the Ontario Dairy convention
last year w. G. Bright gave the follow
ing example of the profits of being
prepared for drought: will give you
an instance of two dairymen in my
neighborhood. One is about the best
and the other is not the worst, but
among the poorest. They have each
100 acres. Last season was very dry,
the driest l have ever come through.
We had not a good soaking rain from
the time the snow went off till OctO-
Der. This good dairyman had IA COWS
to which he attended thoroughly. He
had about an acre of oats and peas
and put in 211a acres Of corn early, and
he fed his cows right through the sea-
son. Both these farmers sent to the
factory for seven months, and the
good dairyman received in the seven
months an average of 6,O07 pounds
from each of the fourteen COWS in the
herd. The other dairyman who did
not provide anything received an aver
age of 2,O32 pounds each. Then when
it came to money, the man with the
6,O07 pounds got $40 per cow, the other
man got SIS per cow. The poor dairy
mans cows averaged $3.50 per month,
and the other mans 81 per month.
Now, the fault was at home. One man
prepared against the drought in case
he needed it, and the other man pre-
pared nothing. He had hoped it would
be wet year and there would be
plenty of grass, but if it was a dry
year he expected to have no money.
He received about $162 for these nine
COWS and the other man received SAL,
making difference of $3.50 to the man
for his farsightedness.

with the tar. If dehorning is done in
cold weather, the animals should be
kept as warm as possible.
''My method is to hitch the animal
around the neck with good, strong
rope, with about two feet of slack.
Then, with the leader in the nostrils,
pass the rope attached to it around
under the tail and bring the head
around as far as possible. Let q man
stand on the opposite side and take
the leader firmly in one hand and grasp
with the otl1r hand the end of the
rope that has been passed under the
tail, including the other. Keep every
thing taut. Take the horn off. The
instant this is done let go of the leader
with both hands. Turn the head the
other way and repeat. Do not have q
knot in the end of the leader rope, for
it might catch under the tail and stag
ger the animal. Before cutting, grease
the hair around the horns we'll back
SO as not to cut any more Of it than is
necessary, as it is a great protection.
Have plenty Of room to work.

AMERICAN DAIRYWOMEN.

Influence of Women Upon a Mann
" 80. moth Industry.
think it is not too much to say that
the wives and daughters of farmers in
this country hold the fate Of dairying
in the hollow Of their hands, says
George E. Newell in The American
Cultivator.
Unless one stops to think seriously OF
the subject the fact of what tremen-
dous influence woman exerts in dairy
ing is not appreciated.
I No matter how wise a breeder and
feeder of milk stock man may be, he
is not apt to be fully successful in the
home manufacture of milk without the
intelligent cooperation of his wife.
1t is she who keeps the dairy depart
ment scrupulously clean and generally
watches with the solicitude Of an eX-
pert the delicate processes of butter
making.
I sometimes think that there is an in
tuition in regard to dairy cleanliness
in woman that man does not possess
that fits her naturally for the better
dairy work of the two.
What a large proportion of farmers
wives and daughters need, however, is
a better appreciation of modern scien-
tiic dairy principles.
For instance, woman by nature is
tender and sympathetic nurse, but edu-
cate her as trained nurse and she is
ten times better.
Science perfects the inherent apti-
tude.
1t is SO with the faithful, conscien-.
tious dairywoman Of the land. Let her
grasp and put into practice the scien-
tific principles of milk care and milk
manufacture, and she becomes an in
valuable factor in the march of dairy
progress.
The wives and daughters Of farmers
all over the United States should he
encourag ed to study the technical side
OF fine butter making to enhance the
value Of their labor and increase their
emolunlents. - 1,a-a 49,. - =
The task of the average American
farmers wife is none too easy, and one
of the most prominent signs Of dairy
improvement would be to see the dairy
man trying to tighten the burdens of
the dairywOman.
Give her modern, up to date dairy
house or room in which to perform her
tasks. and one profitable step has been
taken in the right direction.
Dairymen. cooperate with your bet
ter halves in their efforts to produce
an improved quality of butter.
If you send your milk to manufac-
tory. cooperate with them in caring
for the product and see that they are
furnished with the best of utensils and
appliances for this purpose.
Do all these things with two objects
in view. first, because it will be easier
for your wife, and, second, because it
will pay.

HOLDiHG BACK MILK.
Cows Are Nervous and Must Be Care
fully Handled.

fully Handled.
According to Professor Stewart, the
following is the explanation why cows
sometimes hold up or keep back their
milk. The production OF milk is due
to a nervous action of which the CLAN
dular substance of the udder is broken
down into milk whenever the COW is
Influenced by sufficient excitement of
the right kind. 1t depends upon the
structure and function of the udder
just as much as the sections of other
glands do, which we know are wholly
subject to set Of nerves controlling
this distinct function. The udder is
not a mere vessel for holding milk
that is supposed to be secreted continu-
ally and gathers in the udder, as one
may suppose a constant dripping Of
any fluid would fill any other recep-
tacle. On the contrary, it is a gland,
made up of cellular substance, which
grows by separation from the blood
of the matter required. When it has
attained maturity, Or when the neces-
sary nervous action occurs, it breaks
down into a special product-milk.
Several experiments have been made
with the udders of cows in milking
condition that have been slaughtered,
and an examination is recorded of the
udder of a COW accidentally killed on
the railroad when going home to he
MIXED, when she would have given
the usual ten quarts. The microscope
showed the minute lobules of the tissue
swollen and distended, but the udder
contained practically no milk, except
a very small quantity that drained
from the divided tissue when cut
across. Let us consider what happens
when we sit down to milk cow: The
mixer gently rubs the .udder and
gently handles the teats, and this ex-
cites the maternal instinct. There is
what is called an erectile action of the
muscles of the milk organs. The pre-
viously soft and loose condition of the
teats change to rigidity, and in very
short time the milk flows and con-
tinues until the glandular tissue is ex-
hausted, when the udder, previously
hard and tense, becomes soft and loose.
We perceive that this function Of the
COW is wholly nervous in it's action, as
indeed every other function Of the ami
NAL is, and if the due nervous excite
ment is absent there is no functional
action. 1t is wholly due to the right in
fuence on the nerves that the milk
is produced and flows from every
ultimate lobule of the udder down
through all the ducts, small and great,
to the teat. Then, if all goes WE'LL and
the COW is in her natural, easily eX-
cited nervous condition, as soon as the
mixer begins to touch the teats the
COW let's down the milk-that is, she
does not exert herself to oppose the
action of the nerves of the mammary
glands. But let the mixer be rough or
Ill use the COW, or let the COW from any
cause be stupid and willful, and this
necessary motherly influence on the
nerves be prevented in any way, and
there is no milk. The udder may re-.
main as tense and full apparently as
usual but not drop of milk can be
drawn until the current of the cows
mind is turned successfully to mater
nal desire.
