A Poor Mixer.


The Chicago daily papers not long
Ago published statement relative to
the analysis of milk drawn from va.
rious cows on the Gurler dairy farm al
De Kalb. Illinois. Assistant State
Food Commissioner R. M. Patterson OF
Chicago MIXED Holstein COW, and
had her milk analysed. It showed
2.S per cent fat. very low percent.
age. This was published along with
the analyses of the other samples OF
milk taken, and of course the con.
trast put the 4 olstein breed in bad
light. Chicago people took up the agi-
tation and some even suggested the
passing of law prohibiting the sale
of milk from holsteih cows. We learn
however from Mr.. Glover, dairy field
man of the University of Illinois, that
the daily papers refrained from pub
fishing very important sequel to the
tests. After Mr.. Patterson had drawn
all the milk he could from the COW,
one Of the regular mixers sat down
and drew three pints more from the
same animal. All of our readers know
that the first milk is the poorest and
the last drawn milk the richest. An
analysis of the IL POUNDS drawn by
Mr. Patterson gave 2.S per cent; an
analysis Of the 8 pounds drawn by the
regular mixer gave 6 per cent. Added
together the result was fourteen
pounds of milk with an average
richness of S.4S per cent. or As per
cent above the standard required by
the state law. 1t will thus be seen
that the agitation against the Hol.
stein was started as the result of the
exploit of very poor mixer in the
states service.

Seems awfully forlorn to eat a
Thanksgiving dinner all alone" said
Milly soberly. looking over at the
young fellow who sat mending har.
mess strap beside the blazing hearth.
Il haven't the heart to get up big
dinRer for just us two"
Il don't see what else we can do.
No neighbors to invite except old Pete

might send him something by way of
being ne!ghborly."
And be turned away for or;

you cant even go out on The
highways and hedges and gather in
stragglers like the ancient host Of
Bible fame. Maybe it is just as well
not to have all the work of getting
up Thanksgiving dinner, for it seems
to me that you look tired, Milly.
What's the matter?"
Nothing. Jim. guess need little
outing. I'll take run across the

POULTRY
Ventilation Of Poultry Houses.

Nentlation OF poultry HouseS.
During summer weather no ventila.
ton Is needed, as the windows and
doors, where wire screens are used,
will be open night and day. But in
the late fall. winter and early spring,
the doors and windows have TO be shut
most Of the time, and some ventilation
must be provided. The dirtier the
house is kept the more ventilation win
be needed. The old-fashioned venti-
lator on top OF the poultry house
should be discarded. It's effect was to
take the warm pure air out of the
house and pour down on the heads of
the poultry stream of cold air.
Probably the best system to be fol-
lowed is to have a long wooden tube
in one end of the poultry house, said
tube reaching from the top Of the
house to within foot of the floor. II
this is carried above the roof draft
should exist in 1t as in chimney,
that will draw the foul air out of the
house. II the walls are double 1t win
be easy enough to provide ingress for
the air on either side. Make a few
little holes ON the outside near the
caves OF the roof and on the inside
bore a few more holes near the floor
opposite and below the holes on the
outside. II these holes for ingress OF
the air are made only on one side OF
the building. they should be on the
side OF the prevailing winds.
Tho fdno ~
houses by means OF sub-earth ducts
has been preached, but never tried, so
far as we know. 1t would hardly pay
to construct sub-earth duct for
common-sized poultry house, as such
duct would cost more than the poul-
try house itself. In the case of a large
poultry plant, however, It might be
tried and would doubtless prove very
satisfactory. These ducts consist OF
rows Of glazed (waterproof) tile laid
IN trenches about 5, feet deep and
running through the ground for 100
feet or more. Generally three or four
rows Of tile are laid, the ends all be-
ing sealed with cement to prevent any
water entering. The work has to be
done very perfectly to prevent water
entering and filling up the pipes. In
addition pump should be placed in
one end of the trench so that II water
does get into the pipes 1t may be
pumped out without the pipes having
to be dug up. At the end of the
trench, away from the house to be fed
with air through these tiles. a stand
pipe is erected with hood that turns
to face the wind In whatever way 1t
blows. The trench is filed with soil
and the ground leveled. The object Of
all this is to provide air for the build
ing at temperature of, say, 80 de
grees. the temperature of the ground
at a depth Of feet. Summer OF
winter this temperature will remain
the same, whatever the air outside
Where man has number of poultry
houses they can all be connected with
this duct by smaller tile tubes and the
air forced in. The only time wher
this scheme falls to work Is where tho
air is still. At other times the wind
blowing into the hood forces the ali
into the house. The great advantage
about this is that comparatively warn
air is supplied to the houses. Somt
cheese factories and stock barns are
now using the system, which proves
very satisfactory.

The cheesemaker,s side.


There has been good deal said in
the agricultural press about cheese
factories running only in summer. 1t
is generally argued that they should
run the year around, that the produc-
tion of milk in winter might be en-.
couraged. That is an ideal condition
to be looked forward to and hoped for.
But for the present little can be ex-
pected in this way. The cheesemaker
Is compelled to follow the course that
will yield him a profit. Recently Mr..
J. r. Biddulph of Bureau county, ILL
nois, gave to representative Of the
Farmers Review the cheesemaker's
side Of this question. He said: THE
cheese industry in Illinois is not inn
proving much. for there is no one to
stir up the cheesemakers. In my i'm
mediate locality there is an improve
ment. but 1t is not general. More
fats are being made than ever before,
because many of the factories have a
home market for them. Flats weigh
from 80 to 40 pounds, while cheddar
cheeses weigh from SO pounds up.
There ara four cheese factories with
In radius of seven miles from my
house. None of them make butter.
but some Of them run the year round.
Mine runs from April first to Deem
Der first, every day. do not believe
a factory should run all the time. nor
do the merchants. They think the
factories should shut down SO they can
have a chance to work on their stock
of cheese and fill up the following sea-
son on fresh goods. However, II we
had milk enough to permit US to run
all winter. we would have to run. Dur
ing the month of December we gen.
orally run every other day. and that
Is the way the factories do that run
all winter. But II Is poor plan to
run all the time, If it is necessary to
run every other day. A factory that
does that seldom makes enough cheese
to pay expenses in the months when
they are doing that The most ever
received in the month Of December,
when l was running every other day,
was $50, and that did not pay ex-
penses. We are using now between
$500 and 5000 pounds Of milk daily
| do not buy the milk outright, but
make 1t into cheese at SO much per
pound. The patrons take the cheese
and sell 1t themselves. They go to
town and trade 1t for groceries, dry
goods and other things they need"
