Dairy Notes,

II ~ A. q Dairy Notes. r. Ia
The question of refri geration In the
dairy is becoming every year one of
greater moment to dairymen Cold is
the ideal preserver Of all things The
dairyman should make it his ally. Ice
making is in it's infancy, as a science
Every man that has butter and milk
to keep for days should provide him
self with a supply of ice, and the place
for keeping this should be construct
ed in the summer time. "A 5,esl,t. r..
Dairying in South Australia is re-
ported to be, in a precarious condition
owing to+the prevalence of drouth, es-
pec1ally In the regions around the
North and South Wales boundary line
Some of the country has been reduced
to a veritable desert, as there has been
little rain for two years. Water exists
only in the streams in boys and thou
sands Of cattle have become ''bogged''
trying to reach the water.
After generation Of use, the silo is
to-day more popular than ever True,
there are even today comparatively
few si1os, but in the regions where the
largest numbers have existed in the
past, the most are being built today.
This is hopeful sign. The fact is the
silo is not always a success. It must
he properly handled to give good re-
suits. There have been failures and
these failures have discouraged some
farmers. But the successes have been
so many, that, In the minds of the
most progressive dairymen, the value
of the dairy is no longer a problem.

Investigations show that rnany of
! our farmers that produce milk fail to
realize the value they should from the
skim milk. The writer has been in
creameries where the farmers had so
little use for the skim milk that the
creamery manager was glad to get rid
OF it to the-citizens of the neighbor-
ing village at one cent per gallon. This
was "a good, thing for the citizens, but
it showed q great lack on the part Of
the men that had produced the milk.
We have no doubt that many of the
farmers that produced that milk and
didn't want the skim milk were feed
ing their poultry on a grain ration the
4 year round. ,s@ ssz.sSs. tsff /.
AS relates to oleomargarine. the
skies ia PENNSYLVANIA are clearing. A
new Dairy and Food Commissioner has
been appointed and he has taken hold
OF the work with a will. Already more
than 200 suits are being prepared for
and will be pushed as soon as the
grand Jury meets, which is in Septem-
Der. Most Of these suits are against
restaurant keepers, grocers and but
ter dealers. The amount OF evidence
that has been accumulated Is very
large and said to be conclusive, and
s is expected that no obstacle will be
ARet with in the courts. It IS intend
ed to push suits in every county III the
state. Indications now are that the
sellers ct colored oleomargarine will
have q hard time in the future.
1t has been supposed that the selling
OF filed cheese was a thing Of the past
IN the United States. but now facts
are coming to light that seem to indi-
cate that the nefarious business is be-
Ing carried on Quite extensively. The
Pure Food II Conn mission ii Ohio has
been analyzing variaus articles Of food
and among them "a large number of
cIaeeses A very large proportion Of
Z the cheese analyzed q: n howed that the
articles purporting to- be full creams
were filed cheese IN every sense of
the word. Il is the case In Ohio IT.
