l.. Englemann of the Rockford
Creamery company, North Yakima,
Wash, has sent out the following sug-
gestions to his patrons in bulletin
form:
Aim to have SO to AZ per cent cream.
First, rich cream will keep better, and,
second, the creamery does not want
any skim milk You need all thu skim
milk for your hogs, calves and chick
ems.
Be sure that your separator is level
Keep your separator clean and look
especially for the skim milk tubes.
Use only the very best of oil and
clean occasionally all gearing with pc
troleum.
There is drawback connected with
the separator-viz, farmers lose sight
of the test of their herds.
Keep your herds in healthy condi-
ton
Feed only wholesome feed, and look
carefully to the drinking water. Poor
feed and dirty water give tainted milk
and impair the health of the COW.
Keep your calves growing. Don't
feed warm milk one day and cold the
next. If you want a good dairy COW
from your calf, get a good, long body
with well sprung ribs on your calf.
The coat of an animal is a good indi-
cation of its condition
Try to have your cows come in'' in
the fall and winter. Winter dairying
pays the best Besides, you have more
time to milk in the winter than in sum-
mer
Try to raise all the hay for your
herd
Make the most out of skim milk.
Dairying and hog raising are very
good combination.
Keeping Quality of Butter.
The department of agriculture has
issued a bulletin containing an article
on the keeping Quality of Butter :
Butter spoils by reason of the work of
microscopic organisms, and the prob
lem, it is stated, is to exclude them or
destroy them when they are present
The article says: "Buttermakers I'M
derstand pretty we'll that pasteuriza-
ton is often of very great value in
making butter. But why pasteurize
the milk or cream and then wash the
butter with dirty, germ laden water?"
And it notes a test of the govern
ment Iowa station upon ripened cream,
which was divided into two equal
parts. One lot was churned and the
butter washed with ordinary we'll wa
ter The other lot was washed with
water boiled and cooled The latter
butter kept very much longer than the
butter washed with unboiled water.
By pasteurizing the cream as well as
the wash water it was found that the
keeping quality of the butter was still
more improved. When the butter made
from unpasteurized cream, washed
with ordinary water, kept thirty-four
days, the butter made from pasteurized
cream and washed with boiled water
kept seventy-fve days. The estimated
cost of pasteurizing both the milk and
the wash water is cent per pound of
butter produced.
A Choice Young HoIstein Bull.
Belle Korndyke's Beryl Wayne, the
bull whose picture appears herewith,
stands at the head of the Manor herd
of pure bred HoIstein- Friesian cattle.

is owned by W. H. Grenell of Pierre
pont Manor, N. Y.

Korndyke and sired by that famous
bull, Beryl Wayne's Paul DeKoI. The
record of Belle Korndyke is 25 pounds

herself and three daughters average %
