FINISHING TOUCHES.
They Help Dairymen to Build Up n
Retail Milk Trade at Profit
able Prices.

The scrupulous neatness shown in
the care of cows; the cleanliness of
the stalls and the milk vessels; the
practice of milking with clean, dry
hands, and discarding the first
streams drawn from each teat: the
removal of milk from the stable to
a clean milk room for weighing,
straining and aeration as soon as it
is drawn; keeping the milk at low
temperature in summer, and insuring
careful delivery of the milk or cream
in fine condition at the factory; care
full attention to the comfort of the
cow in summer as well as in winter;
to the quality, quantity and compost
ton of the cows feed and the water
supply; forethought and preparation
for an abundant supply of pasture or
soiling crops, such as will keep up the
milk flow summer and winter with.
out interruption during the entire
period of lactation-these are some
of the finishing touches which dis,
tinguish the work of a dairyman
from that OF cow-keeper-the prac.
tice of the thoroughbred from that
of the scrub dairyman. A well-kep,
horse and an attractive wagon and
harness; a neat, intelligent and oblig.
ing delivery man; shining cans and
measures; sterilized, sweet-smelling
well-tilled bottles, with the intelligent
care of the milk from cow to Gus,
toner, are some of the finishing
touches that build up a retail milk
trade at paying prices and distinguish
a thoroughbred dairyman from a
scrub cow-keeper and milk-peddler.
In every branch of dairy work the
profit and satisfaction is realized
from careful attention to the finish
ing touches.-Dairy and Creamery.

is no pressure on the wires between
the ring and the horns, the nose
ring is simply held upwards without
any discomfort to the animal.
Should the bull rush any other ami
NAL, or attempt to get through any
fence, the pressure pulls the nose
ring upwards, causing considerable
pain. 1t requires very few expert
ences to teach the animal that any
misbehavior on his part is attended
by suffering TO himself. One promi-
uent breeder says even the fercest
of bulls is quickly tanned by this de-
vice. In place OF the blocks on the
horns, the latter are sometimes bored
through near the point and the wires
secured. The blocks may also be put
on in different ways, the object be-
ing to bring the wires from the

FOOD PERSONALITIES.
Their Use, Says the Ohio Pure Food
Commission, should he Uni-
fOrmly Condemned.

The use Of chemical preservatives
In food products has, of late years,
become almost notorious. That pre-
seryatiyes may. in rare cases, be
sometimes used without injury TO the
human organism is true, but it is alb
surd to claim that this is any argu-
ment for their general and promiscu-
Gus use; because one person in a
hundred can take such substances
into their system with impunity,
or without material injury, is no
reason why the other ninety
nine people should be imposed
upon In the use of these prep
arations. 1 am of the opinion
that no chemical which will arrest
the fermentation of food products
can be used without great injury to
the average individual, and the reck-
less and indiscriminate way in which
they are frequently used, especially
in foods of daily consumption, such
as milk, butter or meats, is a crime,
and their use should be discouraged
in every way possible. Much has
been written on the injurious effect
of preservatives in milk and cream,
and | have uniformly prosecuted ev-
cry case of this kind that has come
under my notice, and expect to con-
tinue to do SO. The preservatives
most commonly used are borax,
boracic acid, salicylic acid, benzoate
of soda and formalin. With the i'm
proved methods of cold storage, in
handling perishable food products,
such as meat, milk and other articles
of general daily consumption, there
is little or no excuse for the use OF
chemicals in any form. Their use
should be uniformly condemned and
prohibited. E. Blackburn, Ohio
