Cause of the Increase.
The remarkable increase; in, the pro-
duction Of milk and butter in the
United States in theIl last decade was
due far more to increased yield per
COW than to increase in the number Of
cows There is plenty of opportunity
for an equally great increase in the
production per COW during the present
decade. AS farmers become more care
full and accurate in determining the
relative production Of their cows the
culling Of their herds becomes more
rigorous. This Immediately raises the
average standard of production and
tends by the aid Of the laws of hered-
ity to increase the producing capac-
itys of the descendants of cows retained
for dairy purposes.-Midland Farmer.
-. Dairy Education. .
A. w. TroW, the prominent farmer,
creamery man and agricultural writer
of Glenville, Mimi, has recently been
made member Of the educational
staff of the dairy and food department
in his state. His work will be very
largely of an educational nature and
among the farmers and dairymen. He
will attend a good many farmers in
,stitutes, creamery picnics and district
or county creamery conventions, deliv-
ering addresses on topics Of Importance
bearing directly on dairying. r.

Gently voted by the Legislature, to-
gether with the improved and amend

i Tips For Creameries.
Milk cans should be washed and
sterilized with steam at the factory,
and some other receptacle should be
used to return the skim milk or whey
to the farm. If the cans are used for
this purpose they should by all means
be emptied as soon as they reach the
farm, thoroughly washed and scalded
and placed on a rack in an inverted
position with the covers Off '.<z. g. .s
Dairy markets should be developed
BY selling products of known stand
ards put up in such forms that the
consumer will get the original package
and knew its grade or quality.-I illinois
