Dairy Evolution.

The latest development in the dairy
Industry and one that has attracted
the most attention probably is dairy
bacteriology, says d. w. Wilson of
| Illinois In The American Agriculturist.
1t is only few years. since that the
study Of bacteriology has been sufi-
GENTLY scientific to reach milk and its
production. Today we find that the
man who is up in his business is the
dairyman who, fully understands bac-
terra, where they come from. how they
so and how to determine the good from
the bad. The man who has the best
knowledge along that line is the, man
| who Is best fitted to carry on dairying
scientifically and exactly and to guar
antee that his product will be al
ways uniform provided his milk or the
raw product has been delivered to him
In, the proper shape.
i Marketing dairy products has been
almost entirely revolutionized within
the last Is years. The methods Of
| transportation have improved. and the
methods of packing, packages and han
ding in every way have been so rad
lically changed that the handler Of but
ter Of % years ago would hardly be
able to understand or appreciate what
has been accomplished unless he had
grown up. as it were. with the improv.
ed methods.
We must have the dairy type. con-
formation of the COW to the business
for which she Is designed. We look
upon the COW now as simply machine
through which the products Of the
farm are passed and from which we re-
ceive the milk in Its perfect condition.
The COW that would produce 100 or
200 pounds of butter per year so years
ago was considered affairly good COW.
but the COW that does not produce 800
| pounds Of butter per year now Is hard
" considered up to date. This has
been brought about by organization.
by breeding and by studying the prob
lem and finding out how the milking,
ability Of the machine could be de-
veloped..

Homemade Koumiss.

Cows milk should be diluted with
one-third Its volume Of water and two
teaspoonfuls Of white sugar added per
quart OF liquid. A small portion Of this
Is rubbed into q paste. which is then
placed in strong bottles and allowed to
ferment. After few days. during
which the bottles should be repeatedly
shaken. beverage of great value in
cases of digestive disturbance as well
as Of excellent palatability for a
healthy person Is produced. Especial
care must be used in corking the bot
ties tightly. and II Is safer. owing to
the great pressures produced by the
fermentation. to wrap the bottles in
heavy cloth before shaking them.

The question as to whether It pays to

was getting the stuff In on Satur-
day afternoon when Jack came around
again with bunch OF good cigars for
my Christmas. and II brought my heart
up In my throat that the Kind fellow
had thought of me SO. for no one else
had since Lizzie died. He asked what
the things were for. and ] told him.
Maybe said more than ] meant to. for
my heart was full at the time. and
had no idea of his putting anything In
the paper about the menagerie's Christ
mas. But he did. and really when L
read on Christmas morning the story
he got up was surprised.
Cat animals are never fed on Sun
days and as we let all go shy Of break
fast Monday the menagerie's appetite
for a Christmas dinner at noon was
sure to be good. Before that time
came we had lot of visitors. nice peo-
pie who had seen Jacks story. and
among them were fine white headed
old gentleman who introduced himself
as DR.. Hiram Bidwell. and his adopted
daughter-a splendid looking girl.
Luckily we were In good shape to re-
ceive them. Sam wore new suit l
had given him. The cage cleaners were
so washed and draped up they hardly
recognized each other and | was got
up with as much style as ringmaster
myself.
Precisely at noon we sprung our
glad surprise on the animals. If you
imagine those birds and beasts didn't
notice any change In their bill Of fare,
you are wrong. You never saw such
joyous excitement among feathers and
fur. They jabbered. chartered, shrek
ed and roared their delight in all their
various modes of speech. The mon
keys seemed half crazy. and even the
sedate elephant danced, tapped his
ears like fans and squealed. Only
that mean camel was Indifferent and
ate bis fancy dates with sneering
twist of his nose. as If he meant to
say. "You can't soft Sawder me-"
The sight Of the general happiness
gladdened everybody and none more
than Dr. 'Bidwell and his daughter,
who staid until all the other visitors
were gone. talking with me about the
animals and. as | afteSward remem-
bered. a good deal more about myself.
Near dark. just when was thinking
of going out to a restaurant for my
dinner. DR.. Bidwell came back. and
nothing would do but must go with
him to get glass Of eggnog.
We were not gone more than half an.
hour. but by the time we returned q
transformation had been worked in

When about year old. the heifer is
served, and for the next nine months it
costs just about half as much as it
costs me to feed a COW one year, or SIS.
Thus it costs me $2S to produce a
heifer with a calf at its side. 1 doubt
If they can be raised much cheaper in
this part of the country.
If sold at this time, there would be
very little or no profit, indeed. but IL
we have the right class Of stock the
heifer from now on will pay its way
and some profit besides. My heifers
frequently produce 800 pounds or more
butter the first year. have them well
bred to start with. feed and train
them into good dairy cows. and when
or 5 years old find no trouble to sell
them at from $45 to $65. Ordinary
scrubs at from $25 to $35 would bring
us no profit. but rather loss. but dairy
cows in the true sense Of the term are
always ready sale at good prices. Hav-
ing done this kind Of work for some
years. my cows have won for them
selves reputation. and very frequent
~ have customers who keep but one
or two cows for family use. and are
willing to pay for guaranteed stock.
l keep careful record of all my
cows, and my monthly milk sheets
show just how much milk each COW
gave. l have Babcock tester, and If
the customer wishes it make test
right before his eyes. The very best |
always keep for my own use and to
breed from.
This makes me profitable market
for some unmarketable hay and gives
me profitable outlet for my skim
milk. Under certain conditions it Is
more profitable to buy than to raise,
but that makes a market for those who
are favorably situated to raise them.
The conclusion is that it pays to raise
good stock under certain conditions.
Poor scrub stock never pays.
