A Poor MiIkcr.

Tho Chicago daily papers not long
ago published a statement relative to
the analysis OF milk drawn from va.
rious cows on the Gurler dairy farm at
De kalb. Illinois. Assistant State
Food Commissioner r. NJ. Patterson OF
Chicago MIXED q Holstein COW. and
had her milk analyzed. 1t 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 olstein breed tn a bad
light. Chicago people took UP the agi.
tation and some even suggested tho
passing Of law prohibiting the sale
OF milk from holstein cows. We learn
however from Mr.. Glover, dairy field
man Of the University of Illinois, that
the daily papers refrained from pub
fishing a very important sequel to tho
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 tho
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 II pounds drawn by
Mr.. Patterson gave 2.S per cent; an
analysis OF the pounds drawn by the
regular mixer gave 6 per cent. Added
together the result was fourteen
pounds Of milk with an average
richness OF 3.4s per cent, or .4S per
cent above the standard required by
the state law. It will thus be seen
that the agitation against the Hol.
stein was started as the resul. Of the
exploit OF very poor mixer in the
states service.

Beef Form" eteers Most Profitable.
Tho Minnesota station has Just con

the bulissin reporting tho results. Pro.
fessor Shaw says:
ut 10 pretty generally understood by
those who deal In dressed meat. that
there is . marked difference In the

animals which produce the meat
should be OF tho same age. and though
they should be brought to tho Same
perfection Of finish. T::l,s difference.

that II arises entirely from tho reia

II arises In part from less capacity

The Corn Feed Problem.

A dozen years ago tho farmers OF
tho corn belt that wore engaged In
tho raisin. OF hogs would consider nc
other feed for swine except corn.
They began to feed tho pigs corn
about ns soon ns they wcrc wcancd
and continued to feed thcm corn Till
they were butchcrcd. Corn was very
cheap then except In occasional years
when there was n partial corn crop
failure. In those days corn was not
only cheap. but freight rates wero
high and II cos, n great deal to get
tho corn to market. There was . snv.
Ing to tho producer In marketing his
corn crop In tho shape of pork. Since
that time there has been . great
change In the position Of corn relative
to oats and other grains. There are
many commercial uses to which corn
is now PIT that formerly wore not
dreamed OF. II now seems likely that
the general average Of corn prices
will rise from year to year. responsive
to tho increasing demand and tho re.
strictive area Of country In which
corn can bo grown. The future Ii
likely to see tho oat and barley crops
more largely used In tho finishing OF
swine than Is dreamed OF at tho pres.
ent time. At any rate We are about
at tho end Of feeding pigs on n whole
corn diet. We cannot now figure out
a pront with such course OF feeding.
For long time yet hogs that do not
follow cattle Will be finished on corn.
but We may expect to see that finish.
ing period grow constantly shorter.
Men will also realize that change
to clover and grain other than corn
will give them some benefits in tho
way Of increased stamina in their
swine us well as more fccundity. The
corn feed problem is one that cannot
be ignored longer. but Is in course of
solution by every swine raiser that
is trying to make money.
