MuSfy Hay,

Do not feed musty hay to dairy cows,
nor in fact any kind of fodder that is
musty, says an exchange. Some be-
lieve that this mustiness will not pass
through into the milk, and it may be
so, but we are suspicious Of the truth
of the assertion. 1t is a fact that there
is a difference in the flavor of butter
made on June grass and the butter
made in the winter when the COWS are
fed on dry hay. If this difference in
feed makes any difference in flavor,
why may it not make 6 good deal Of
difference if the feed be particularly
bad? MOiIy feed is q bad thing to
have around in any case and should
be thrown out. Using 1t as COW bed
ding is likely to make the matter
worse, for the whole stable will be
scented with it, and in the morning
when the milk Is drawn it will certain
ly be tainted, and this faint will grow
as the cream ripens. 1t is not advisa-
BILE to use this for bedding and depend
on airing the barn enough in the morn
ing to get the smell out. This would
be seldom done at all, and where done
it would generally be done In q very
imperfect manner. The presence of
spoiled feed is very often the cause Of
poor butter.

Butter COlOring.

The color question is a matter of vi
United States, says Hoard's Dairy
man. Upon that line nearly all the
repressive legislation that has been
had against the fraud oleomargarine ia
based. For that reason, in order that
in the future deception and swindling
Of necessity that all butter shall come
upon the table in yellow color.
So far as deaths having ever ensued
from the eating Of butter that has been
colored that is the merest humbug.
Butter is colored simply as a matter Of
taste, because in summer, when feed is
green, all butter is yellow. 1t does not
make poor butter good butter. The
coloring has nothing whatever to do
with the question of quality. No man
need be persuaded to buy poor butter
for good because it is yellow. Quality
in butter is not judged by the eye, but
by the taste and smell, so color has
nothing to do with quality, but has
much to do with another department
Of value, that Of appearance to suit
the eye Of the consumer.
The aim Of the dairymen and all con-
sumers who do not wish to be swim
died into buying oleomargarine when
they call for butter is to force oleo-
margarine by the strong arm of law to
appear in the market and elsewhere in
it's own distinctive color, which is
white or nearly so. Then If the poor
want it as a cheap substitute for but
ter they can buy it for what it Is
worth. Public sentiment and under
standing are fast coming to see the in
tegrity, fairness and wisdom of such a
purpose.
The boarding house or restaurant
keeper who puts white butter on his
table is lacking in good business sense.
No deaths nor even sickness has ever
occurred to our knowledge from eating
butter colored by any form Of color.
The sooner all butter comes on the
table in yellow attire and all substi-
tutes are forced to appear uncolored
the quicker will justice be done to the
consumer and the dairymen.

The Babcock Test and Those Who
Oppose 1t.

The Babcock Test and These Who
Oppose 1t.
It is hard to explain by natural laws
the slow progress made in milk testing
in some localities, says The Creamery
Journal. It is beyond all question that
the Babcock test is the leading inven-
ton of the age in that line. 1t is sure
that it is the only practicable method
known for easily and surely ascertain
ing the value of the milk A)r butter
making. 1t is certain that unless we
know the fat content Of each patron s
milk it is impossible to divide the mon
ey fairly among the many patrons 1t
is certain that if we do not divide 1T
fairly we are parties to fraud and IN
justice and have no right to hold our
heads up among honest men. Why,
then, are there SO many creameries
where no attempt is made to pay each
patron his just dues?
There seems to be no answer possible
to this except the meanness Of man.
Nature is good and honest. Science is
trustworthy. The Babcock test is
founded on nature and science. To use
it is to make it possible to do right
To refuse to use it is to make 1t i'm
possible to do right.
In the first place, some men are sus-
picious. The ordinary creamery patron
is not an angel, but q man with the in
herent feelings of mortality. He is
sensitive when q neighbor gets more
for his milk than he does, and he is
sometimes suspicious that the testing
was not impartially done. Suspicion
on the part of some patrons is one
cause for opposition to the use Of the
test.
Another cause is dishonesty. There
are patrons who wish to get the better
Of their neighbors. We are glad to be-
lieve that they are in the minority, but
they can be found, and they are al
ways opposing anything which pre-
vents them from succeeding in their
plans. They have thin milk, and they
want as much for 1t as If 1t were better
milk. So with a few who wish to
cheat and few who are envious Of
neighbor who beats them in the quail
ity of milk and gets paid accordingly
there is opposition to the test among
patrons.
Another reason is that the suspicion
that the testing is not skillfully, care
fully and honestly done is sometimes
well founded. There are rascals, sad
to say, behind the weigh can and in
the holy of HOLES of the creamery.
Lack Of confidence in the accuracy of
the test is occasionally due to lack of
confidence in the tester rather than in
the machine.

The Cow In Ancient Literature.

How little we realize in our daily
contact with the COW what an impor-
tant part she has played in the remot-
est literature of the past, says Hoard s
Dairyman.
The Rig Veda, the ancient scriptures
of India, contains mention of Traitana,
one of the divine powers which ruled
the armament, destroying darkness
and sending rain" To this divinity
was given the office of rescuing the
celestial COWS and Staying the demons
that had carried them Off These
cows" as Max Mueller tells us, al
ways move along the sky, some dark.
some bright c0lored. They low over
heir pasture; they are gathered by the
winds and MIXED by the bright rays
of the sun; they drop from their Heavy
udders a fertilizing milk upon the
parched and thirsty earth. But some,
times, the poet says. they are carried
off by robbers and kept in dark caves
near the uttermost ends of the sky
Then the earth is without rain, the
pi0us worshiper offers up his prayer
to lndra, ana Indra rises to conquer
the COWS for him. He sends his dog
to find the scent Of the cattle, and aft
er she has heard their lowing she re-
turns and the battle commences. In
dra hurls his thunderbolt. the Maruts
ride by his side, the Rudras roar, till
at last the rock is cleft asunder, the
demon destroyed and the COWS brought
back to their pasture"
This is one of the oldest myths Or
sayings current among the Aryan ma
tons.
Surely if the COW has furnished such
inspiration to the most ancient Of
poets, shall she not be deemed worthy
of tribute of praise from the farmer
of today, whom she has so often saved
from many devastating financial
drought?

The War in South Africa

has demonstrated the great foresight of
the Beers, in availing themselves of all
the opportunities i'll times of peace to
prepare for war. Similar foresight
should lead you to improve the opportu-

in this country. They are on the line of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail

where the crops are of the best, work
plenty, fine markets, excellent climate,
pure, soft water; land sold cheap and on

can buy one for less than you pay for

relieving him of about four dollars in
change his assailants permitted him to
get up and leave Except financially,
Mr. Graham is none the worse, however,
for his adventure.

In almost every city and large town
in the south good butter is now selling
at 80 cents a pound and will continue
to bring this or higher price for some
time. Ninety per cent of this butter
comes from creameries in Missouri, Il
linois. Iowa and Wisconsin. Millions
of pounds are brought to the southern
markets every year and always bring
good price, and all this money is car
ried away instead Of remaining at
home.
