SCIENCE IN MILKING.
Good Cows Are Frequently Ruined
by Men Who Do Not Know How
to Handle Them.

Milking is an operation which re-
quires skill, as it has an important
effect on the amount and quality of
milk given. Dairymen know that
there are as great differences between
mixers as between cows and that
cows will do much better with good
mixers than with Others. Indeed,
good cows are often almost ruined
by poor mixers.
The mixer should avoid handling
the cow more than is necessary, and
he should make it rule to do his
work quickly and thoroughly. He
should never go from a sick to a well
COW without first cleansing his hands.
The habit of wetting the hands with
milk is filthy in the extreme and
should never be practiced. Some peo-
pie think it is necessary, but this is
mistake. The hands should be kept
dry. If they are not, it is impossible
to prevent drops Of milk from coma
stantly falling from them into the
pail.
The pail should be held close to the
udder, SO as to expose the milk to
the air as little as possible. The
further the streams fall and the more
they spray, the more dirt and bac-
terra they collect. Contamination
from the foremilk must be avoided by
discarding the first few streams
drawn, or less than gill in all. This
ntails little loss, as the first milk
drawn is always poor in butter fat,
and if it happens to be badly con-
taminated, as is frequently the case,
much injury and trouble may be
savcd.-Farm, Field and Stockman.

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE.
Gerald Mccarthy, M. s., Says 1t Gives
a Yield su}passing Amy Other
Hay Crop.

Alfalfa Medicago Saliva is one Of
the oldest cultivated crops. 1t has
been cultivated for rs centuries. Its
native home is supposed to be that of
the primitive Aryan stock from which
all the European nations are de-
scended. Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy, NJ. S.,
says that alfalfa is very long-lived
perennial plant. of the pulse or
leguminous family. 1t roots very
deeply going from to 80 feet deep,
and as consequence is practically
drought proof when once weN estab-
lished. 1t requires rather CRY soil,
fch in lime. The plant is tendeE and
feeble when young and requires q
mellow surface free from weeds With
plenty of soluble plant food at hand.
On worn lands this crop usually fails
to catch unless the soil has been
given a good dose of stable manure
or bone meal just previous to sowing
the seed. Once started sowing
lasts from 10 to 80 years. The dry
valley and mountain lands of the
Rocky mountains seem to be the
home of this plant in America. 1t
also succeeds we'll on tbs Pacific
slope and in the Mississippi valley.
It does well on the lighter soils of the
Atlantic coast and gulf states, but
requires great care to get it started.
It is usually sown broadcast in early
fall using about 20 pounds OF seed
per acre. No nurse crop is desirable.
When we'll cared for the yield IT this
crop is enormous, exceeding any
other hay crop.
In New Jersey four cuttings per
year are obtained; in the gulf region
eight cuttings are the rule. The
yield is one and half to two tons OF
air dry hay per cutting, giving total
yield for the year of to 16 tons per
acre.
One ton of this hay contains the
following amounts of plant food: :
Nitrogen .....:: .......................4 S.S ips
PhosPhoric acid .....'...''....'. 19S 1bs
AS with all other legumines the
nitrogen comes from the air. The
potash and phosphoric acid come
from the soil and to keep up the
yield an annual dressing of these
substances equivalent to that which
has been carried off in the hay must
be given. Taking the average yield
at six tons per acre we obtain:
Nitrogen, 1928 lbs. worth S1.@
Phosphoric acid, 61.S ]ts.........w worth 2.N
Potash 2n.6 lbs. ....Worth S.O6
Total fertilizing Value. 49, Us
To replace the above amounts OF
potash will require 403 pounds OF
muriate of potash. To replace the
phosphoric acid requires 425 pounds
of superphosphate. But where the
growing season is long and the tenn
perature favorab BILE the yield may be
larger and the fertilizer must be in
creased proportionately. A good
normal fertilizer for alfalfa is as fol-
lows:
Muriate Of potash............ 500 to LOU lbs.
Superphos phate ,.,...,... 500 to ], O00 lbs.
Lime ........................ 500 to 600 lbs.

COVER FOR MILKING PAIL.

the conditions are simply disgusting,
while one can rarely find stable
where thoroughly painstaking effort
is made to keep every particle of for
eign matter and every foul odor out of
the milk Even under the very best
conditions as regards cleanliness it is
utterly impossible to keep all impure
ties out of the milk if the latter is
drawn from the COW into an open pail,
for hairs and some dust particles will
be loosened from the cow by the action
of the hands in milking. However,
with a pail like that shown in the cut
and two thicknesses of cotton cloth,
or, better still, layer of surgeons
absorbent cotton, laid between two
sheets of cheesecloth and caught to-
gether here and there with thread and
needle, almost absolute cleanliness
can be secured. A large sheet of such
strainer can be made at once, and
circles cut from it for each milking.
The cotton mentioned is absolutely
pure, and is of a nature to check the
passage of any impurities. By the use
of such a device the milk and cream
will not only be practically pure, if all
other precautions are taken to keep it
so. but it will keep much longer than
milk and cream secured under the or
binary conditions-a very decided ad-
vantage, if one ships his cream away

It is a pleasure to use this stool. One
can sit comfortably without bracing.
No need of hugging the pail; simply
let it rest between the knees The
pail should be tilted slightly, and, thus
arranged, a good, rapid mixer will
spatter very little milk. This stool
keeps the pail off the floor and thus
keeps it clean. We prefer heavy tin

A f1ange at the bottom is a protection

The Speer Test.

The Speer test held at the Lowell
school building yesterday was intended
to show the product of the work at the
end of the third year. Pupils from Miss
Forry's room were used, though classes
from Miss Strock's room are equally pro-
ficient. Miss Swift exhibited some OF
the second year classes also.
The test developed wonderful ability
in handling various kinds OF problems
mentally, including the fundamental op-
erations and ratio. The prompt, certain
answers brought looks and smiles OF ap-
proval from nearly all the audience.
The work was not cut and dried, but de-
cidedIy original work was given them
and the pupils met it with promptness
and correctness. They seemed to be
masters of the subject without the use
of pencil and paper.
The time was all too short for exhibit
ing the breadth OF work which the chill
dren are capable of doing, but when it is
realized that these little tots are only
three years from the nursery, their de-
velopment, so independent and real, is
certainly gratifying.
There are only two systems possible in
arithmetic: the ratio or Speer system
and the series system. The latter is the
old method, except that the mere me-
chanical work is displaced by origin al in

methods are employed by Superintend-
