The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1900-10-11

From time to time we hear about
frozen milk being sent from Denmark
to other countries, and it seems fair
to predict that the shipment of frozen
milk may become a factor of consid-
cradle Importance in commerce.. One
Danish dairy company has evidently
entered on the work in earnest. 1t
has an establishment where over 1000
gallons Of milk can be handled daily.
About one-fourth OF the milk is frozen
arti1cially in cakes and placed in large
cans, each of more than 125 gallons ca
pacity. The next morning the cans are
filled with fresh milk and shipped. 1t
is said that the milk keeps sweet for
some weeks. 1t is finally heated by
hot water coils, so the melting will be
done gradually and no harm result
from the separation of different COM
ponents of the milk. A can was sent
to Paris and the examiners declare
that it was as fresh as il recently
drawn from the COW.

Dairy Notes.

A new reason for keeping the cattle
out OF doors more in winter is being
urged by some dairymen. They say
that when the cows, especially the
young ones, are kept in doors all the
time for several months their muscles
and ligaments get soft. When they are
turned out in the spring they have
weak cords and are also somewhat I'M
accustomed to walking and running.
The result is that for the first months
a good many accidents occur to the
COWS that would be otherwise avoid
ed. The argument is for leaving the
cows out Of doors in the winter time
as much as possible. We have never
noticed this aDove-stated fact, but
would be glad to hear from any of
u readers that have noticed it. Are
accidents more common in the first
part of the pasturing season than
later?

with quick stroke, was belaboring
the poor beast and using language
that was not Scriptural or classical.
