DAIRY RATION.

DAIRY RA ION.
In given localities the dairymen's
interests are so large, also the grain
mems interests that even barring that
broader sentiment for universal pros
perity and good will, self interest
alone invites one to a study of the
most economical relation between the
dairy and it's products. Carefully and
scientifically demonstrated methods
of cultivating the COW are fast dis
placing the less careful and less sci
entific practice in years past.
The practical dairyman does not, as
has been done, take a load of grain
to market and sell it at $40 per ton
and replace it with load of bran for
his dairy at SIS per ton, thus en-
riching the miller by at least one
half That has all been changed. Our
modern dairymen are not in quest of
cheap feed" but are nightly pleased
to get feed cheap" The price of
"mil-run" on the coast of late years
has been considerably on the plan of
500 grain and SIS bran. This has
forced the grainmen endeavoring to
keep abreast with the times to cast
about for a mutually profitable COM
promise for dairymen.
Having dealt in and handled grain
and feed for several years-years of
business, joys and sorrows, years also
in which changes as above named
have occurred and other changes
glimmering on the horizon-a careful
study of literature bearing on the sub
ject, as we'll as careful notes taken
from our patrons, decided me in the
belief that, a universal desire both
| from practical experience and theor-
etic figuring was for stronger feed
for the dairy.
There has been noticeable cater
ing to this sentiment by number of
mills in putting up the so-called dali
ry chop" Millers, like all mortals,
sometimes forget that there is wee
bit of brains outside of their particu,
| lar profession. 1t is, however, not
an easy task to anticipate all the re-
quirements of the COW.
1T would, therefore, be a great re-
| lief, and undoubtedly conducive to
progressive results if our dairy men
would take the pains to express a
desire as to the exact or approximate
composition of their feed.
| We would doubtless have to go far
to find a dairy region outstripping
that tributary to Kent. Yet it is just
possible that it would strengthen the
situation to exercise more discretion

THE CONDENSED MILK INDUS
TRY.

G.. l.. Peck.

l am in receipt of number of let
tiers on the question of condensed
milk, of which the following is one.
Instead of answering each singly |
ask space to answer through your
journal, one which covers all the
points contained in all:
"Some of our people are contemplate
ing the erection and operation of
condensed milk plant. | do not care
to invest unless there is reasonable
prospect of it's being a paying, profit
able industry. Kindly give me your
opinion of the prospects of such a
plant in this place Il do not want
to invest my money unless it will be
reasonably safe. l understand you

What is the cost of a plant?-T. S."
In it's present stage of development
no person not perfectly familiar with
the business is safe in investing his
capital in it unless connected with
persons of known integrity and ex
perience, and even then he is liable
to heavy losses.
have no doubt that the condensed
form will, in the comparatively near
future, be the prin cipal form in which
milk will appear in the markets. The
process of condensation thoroughly

form of bacterial or germ life in it,

The industry is at present in only
the experimental stage. Some years
ago Gail Borden began the industry
of condensing milk and in Increasing it's
preservative qualities by adding sug-
ar. He knew little or nothing of the
chemical or physical changes pro-
duced by the operation. He was fol-
lowed by others, whose knowledge
was purely that of the mechanical
operation learned from others. To this
time science has contributed very lit
tie to that industry.

Professor Carlyle, of the Wisconsin
Experiment Station has in recent
contribution to the agricultural press
given some facts with reference to a
grade Shorthorn COW kept at the Wis
cOnsin Station which are worthy of
wider publication.
The COW during the first year at the
Station made 215 pounds of butter;
during the second year, 3645 pounds;
and the third year 423 pounds. This
is one side of the story. Her calf,
twenty-seven months old, was slaugh-
tered at the International Show last
fall and weighed, after shrinking, l.
$40 pounds; he was sold for $10S.20.
The above is not an isolated case
1t is easily possible to develop in time
a dairy herd of Shorthorn COWS that
will give 200 pounds of butter per
year. This can in the course of time
be advanced to $50 pounds, to 300
pounds and possibly over. These
COWS will produce calves which, raised
by hand, fed on a well-balanced ration,
and properly fed out at thirty months
old, will weigh 1,400 pounds and bring
within fifteen Or twenty cents of the
very top of the market.
This has been our contention, for
these many years, and every year
brings more convincing proof in
quotable form of the correctness of
our position. This type of COW is not
the COW with which man allows the
calves to run. He can get COW that
will answer his purpose with good
deal less trouble. 1t is not the cow for
the special purpose dairyman whose
sole aim is to produce pounds of but
ter and who cares nothing whatever
for the steer calves. 1t is the cow for
the quarter or half section farmer who
wishes to get profit from both his
milk and his beef and does not ex-
pect to get the very highest results
from either one or the other.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said by special purpose advocates,
there is a dual purpose COW, dual
purpose sheep, and dual purpose
chicken, where the sum of the profits
on two sides exceeds the profit on
either one side or the other.-Henry
Wallace.

ton had not destroyed of that had by
some means got in to the finished
product. The more serious obstacle,
that has occasioned thousands of dol
lars loss to most condensing COM
panies in the United States, is the
''thickening" process. The chemical
change that produces this effect is,
SO far, as l am informed, at present
understood by no man in the bust
ness. Without apparent cause milk
that has been all right for months sud-
denly becomes thick-very thick,
thick as liver-so it will not flow from
the can. Thousands of dollars loss
from this cause often occurs to
plant in a single week. It's product
will be returned by the carload, prac-
tically worthless, or at least greatly
deprecated in value. The milk will
be as sweet as ever. 1t is not the
result of fermentation; but whatever
it may be, it is the one serious OBJ
stacle that today stands in the way
of the success of the condensed
milk business.
: This one obstacle removed, the
great dairy business of the dairy
belt" would receive an impetus diff
cult to measure Condensed milk"
would be a product the sale and use
of which would reach every portion of
the earth where civilization is known.
The business has reached stage
where our agricultural colleges should
take it up and solve the one problem
which forms the serious obstacle to
success. So far as l can learn no
State authorities have experimental
on the subject. Condensed milk men
have sought to keep the process Sc
cret as far as possible, and until the
last two or three years it's manufac-
ture has been confined to a few COM
panies The dairy industry in New
York and Pennsylvania forms a very
large part of their material wealth,
and it is time both States took up this
important matter in aid of the dairy
men.
AS to the cost, about $4,000 should
equip a plant capable of condensing
at single run 10000 pounds of milk
daily, and for double runs twice that
amount. If erected by promoters"
the cost will be likely to be so per
cent. in excess of that amount. "Pro-
moters" should by all means be avoid
ed. They will offer to take a large
amount of stock and claim to be we'll
posted in the business, but when they
are through with you you will have
the experience and they the cash.
When science shall have developed
fully the process of condensing milk
SO as to preserve it perfectly for use
in different climates, the business will
become one of the greatest and most
profitable of the Middle States. I'm
til that time, persons not familiar
with every branch of the industry, in
Guiding processing" and marketing,
would better let it alone. There is
little doubt that in the near future in
telligent experiments, conducted
the aid of scientific chemistry, will
solve the one remaining problem in
the process of condensing milk. When
this is done condensed milk will be-

porary, we need hardly touch. We
cannot possibly profess 10 Judge be-
tween what DR.. Maxwell privately ad-
vised, and what has been the result
from acting either after or against
his advice. One thing, however. goes
without saying. Before DR.. Maxwell
