The milking is the starting point OF
most of the trouble with cream. says
the Springfield Republican,. The milk
er sits down with a pail open at the
top and begins to milk. Any dust,
straw or manure that may be hanging
to the udder is gradually dislodged and
finds it's way into the milk pail. Every
particle of such dirt carries with it
quota of germ life, which consists of
minute plants or bacteria so small
that they cannot be seen without the
aid Of a microscope. The function OF
this plant growth is to cause decay.
All decay is brought about by the &C
ton of bacteria.
The remedy would naturally suggest
itself Stop the dirt from getting into
the milk. This can be done easily and
quickly. If the mixer will carry with
him a damp cloth and carefully wipe
off the udder and the parts immediate
ly around it the trouble will to great
extent be prevented. All the coarser
particles of dirt will be rubbed off and
the finer particles Of dust dampened,
so that they will not fall into the pail.
This work will require but a few mo-
ments of extra time and prevent much
after trouble in the way of sour and ill
favored cream. The COW should be
MIXED in a place in which the air Is
free from dust. In the winter or when
the COWS are kept in the stable never
feed Or move hay or clean out the
place or do anything to stir up dust or
strong smells just before milking. The
cream should be separated at once aft
er milking, while the milk still has the
animal heat in it. The work of the
| day should be SO arranged that this
can be done. Do not use a cloth
| strainer. The separator will remove all
the solid dirt that may be in the milk
| much better than it can be done with
| a strainer. There never was a cloth
| strainer used that would not in few
days become yellow and smell bad.
| Under the best conditions, where
steam can be used to help in cleans
| ing, the cloth strainer is a source Of
| danger rather than a benefit. A we'll
made Wire strainer might be used, but
there is no need of any strainer. Pour
the fresh warm milk directly into the
supply can and send it through as
quickly as possible.

The Omen Cement Trough.

The average farmer is slack in the
care of the interior of his stables, says
C. S. Plumb in Rural New Yorker.
Many really excellent devices are
neglected that should be used simply
because they are thought to be of too
much trouble. The open cement trough
presents the very least amount of OBJ
lection from this point of view. Fur
Their, if the herd is a healthy one there
will be no special danger from spread
ing disease through drinking in their
open trough extending along in front OF
a row of cows Such a trough, with nc
corners, flushed with water twice dali
ly, l should consider model feeding
and drinking place from the sanitary
point of view. In winter there might
be some trouble from freezing when
extremely cold weather was on, yet
this, should be dealt with as easily as
any other form of watering, excepting
where a tank heater is used in the wa
ter trough itself, as is SO common in
the west.

A Sensitive Tenor.

Roger, the celebrated French tenor,
was exceedingly proud of his profess
sion and was apt to take ohense at the
least slight, whether intended or not.
On one occasion he was engaged for
the sum of EGO to sing at the house of
a rich financier who thought it the cor
rect thing to have the principal singers
Of the day at his house parties.
Roger sang his first song magnifi-
Gently, but not the slightest attention
was paid him, the guests talking their
loudest. Presently the host thought
that it was about time for another
song and sent for Roger, but he could
not be found and was seen no more.
On the following day Mr.. Plutus was
surprised to receive from Roger notes
to the amount of ESQ., with the follow
ing words:
II have the honor to return the EGO
which I received for singing at your
party, and I beg to add EGO more to
make up for having SO greatly dis
turbed the conversation Of your
guests. London Tit-Bits

Different Kinds of Days.

Five kinds of day are recognized,
and it has been said that the word
day has no real meaning without an
adjective defining what kind of day
is meant. There is civil day, the as
Economical day, the apparent solar day,
the mean solar day and the sidereal
day. The civil day begins at the mid
night preceding mean noon and con
sists of twenty-four hours counted aft
er i o'clock The astronomical day be-
gins twelve hours after the civil day,
or at the mean noon of the correspond
ing civil day. These hours are reck-
oned from 0 to "a. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that while 10 hours u min
utes Jan. / astronomical time is also
10 hours II minutes Jan. 1 civil time.
yet 30 hours II minutes Jan. 1 astro-
nonical time is also 10 hours II min
utes a. m. Jan. . civil time. There are
many anomalies growing out of this
use of the civil day, and there are
many arguments in favor of using the
astronomical day. 1t is one of the re-
forms which undoubtedly will come
some time.-London Standard.

MOISTURE IN BUTTER.
Ways by Which 1t May he Controlled
by the Manufactures.

The moisture in butter in many
cases, especially in that not washed.
holds within it a certain proportion of
the caSein, or curd, from the butter
milk, says W. r. Gilbert in American
Agriculturist 1t follows, therefore. that
with larger proportion of moisture
there is more change of the butter be-
coming cheeSy or strong. Most cases
of bad butter are due to the fact that
substances other than fat have not
been properly distracted. There are
several ways in which the intelli cent
buttermaker can control to,,a great eX-
tent the amount of moisture il butter
when it is finished and ready for mar
ket. By far the most important of
these is temperature, the influence of
which is felt throughout the whole
process of manufacture.
Cream which has been ripened at a
high temperature usually gives butter
which is soft when churned. 1t has q
greater tendency to retain moisture,
while that which has been slowly and
thoroughly cooled before churning will
give firmer butter, which drains more
readily than when quickly cooled just
before churning, even though the tenn
peratures of churning may be exactly
the same.
Butter churned at q high temporal
ture retains much more moisture. In
,farmhouses where there is no deep
we'll and ice is not procurable a good
deal of difficulty is experienced. In
such cases the cream should be thinner
than usual when churned, so that the
grains will not gather too quickly. The
size Of the grain, too, is an important
factor. 1t should be sufficiently large
to allow the buttermilk to drain quick
ly away. a very small grain holds a
great deal more moisture.

The Bird of Paradise.

Probably no famous bird has small
er habitat than the bird of paradise,
whose beautiful feathers are so highly
priced in the millinery trade. No one
knows why the varieties of this beau
tiful bird are confined to the island of
New Guinea and the neighboring
coasts of Australia. There are many
other islands not far away where the
conditions would seem to be equally
favorable to their existence, but they
are not found among them, and if we
should ever see hu1Aer. of the bird Of
paradise we would know that he was
a native of New Guinea or the neigh
boring mainland of Australia or had
visited those regions.

Salt For Cows.

On the model fifteen acre farm in
Pennsylvania that raises all the rough
age for thirty head of stock, seventeen
of which are COWS in milk, the cows
are given four ounces of salt each dali
ly mixed with their feed. They eat
their food better, and the owner thinks
they do better when given this amount
than when the allowance is smaller.
The cows are fed three times a day,
and the salt is divided among the three
feeds Fine table salt is invariably
used. The COWS prefer it to coarse
salt.-Department of Agriculture Year

Hand Separators Profitable.

Cream separated at home has large
ly superseded the old system of skim
says American Agriculturist The farm
separator has many advocates, who
claim an advantage over other systems
in that the relative cost of handling
milk and cream greatly favors the lat
ter The skim milk is better and fresh
er when kept at home, and the in
crease in butter fat in many instances
is very perceptible.

Tree Life.

Have you any idea what is the aver
age length Of a trees life? Information
gathered by the German forestry COM

years as maximum length of life,
425 years to the silver fir, 275 to the
larch, 245 to the red beech, 210 to- the
aspen, 200 to the birch, ITO to the ash,
14o to thepelder and 1870 to the elm.

little explanation is needed. The bot

Regularity In Milking.

Always milk a COW in the same man
ner, at about the same time and speed,
says Hoards Dairyman. Any change
will tend to irritate and excite her.
Always milk in the same order. Andsat

point her and milk half an hour late,

SILAGE AND THE SILO

Professor f. W. Taylor in an article
prepared for the Connecticut board Of
agriculture concerning SilOs said: TAX
] ing forty pounds as the average weight
of one cubic foot of corn silage, we
find that one ton will occupy fifty GU
bic feet and q hundred tons 5000 cubic
feet. The quantities of silage required
for different herds for a period of $50
days: For ten COWS, SO tons, or 2,4O0
cubic feet; for fifteen cows, 81 tons, or
300 cubic feet; for twenty COWS, II
tons, or 400 cubic feet; for twenty
FIVE COWS, 80 tons, or 4,SOO cubic feet;
for thirty COWS, 1O3 tons, or 5,40O cubic
feet; for thirty-five COWS, 1875 tons, or
$500 cubic feet; for forty COWS, 144
tons, or 1920 cubic feet.
The dimensions of the silo can be
easily figured from the number of GU
bic feet which it is required to contain.
SLIDING Corn.
There is more to be gained by silo-
ing corn than by SLIDING crops that
have finer stems that can be more
quickly dried. There is usually great
loss in curing the fodder part or corn.
Farmers Advocate.
Points In SiIage Making.
The two important points in making
silage are to have the crop mature
enough to retain it's own juices in the
silo and to keep without developing
strong odors Immature corn will
pretty surely make strong smelling
silage.-American Agriculturist.
An Economical Feed.
We consider silage the most econOm-
zeal of all foodstuffs> as well as the
least trouble to feed. Bran we find the
most expensive, and we wish for the
day when a satisfactory substitute for
it can be produced on our farms. But
this far along anything to take the
place of bran seems to be in the expert
mental stage in Indiana, and we find
that to dispense with it, even when the
cows are on pasture, generally results
in loss of butter Of more value than
the cost of the bran.-From First Prize
Essay Before Indiana Dairy Associa-
ton, by Mrs. Charles Lamont.

Not Dairy Farming.

For Wider Education

r7orr,or Governor Hoard of Wiscon-
writes the introduction to Con
sd Magne's First Principles of Ag-
az !',1ture and we take the liberty OF
aroting it here:
have been pushing along this road
fo,, wears, striving to have the ele-
loonfs of agriculture taught in the
nommon schools Of my own state, WIS
oorsin. I have seen something done.
40 teacher is now allowed to gradu-
80 from our normal schools until he
~ che has taken a course in element
Wv, agriculture Furthermore, we have
oIfobIished several county training
echools. whose particular function is
20 educate the teachers of the coun-
trv schools which take the country
farm boy and give him instruction
something like that now given in the
short course of our agricultural col
1eoe France, Germany and indeed
nearly all Europe, are doing this work
Of teaching elementary agriculture in
tbe urinary schools. These nations
are fifty years ahead of the United
States in their comprehension of how
II is to be done and in the doing OF
it,
AS a people, we have gone mad in
orr pursuit of so-called higher edu-
cation" Rightly understood there is
no such education. A better term
would be wider education Our
teachers even in the country district
schools, unwittingly educate the farm
boy and girl away from the farm. Ii
they seek to inspire in them ambition
III the pursuit of knowledge, it is for
the purpose, as they say, of encourag-
ing them to rise in the world
What American agriculture needs
more than anything else is that it be-
come intellectualized, that it be made
the purpose and object of mental, as
well as physical effort. It's greatest
reward as to wealth, honor and con-
tentment lies in this direction. 1t
must be made the object of brain
work as we'll as manual work. To
bring about this attitude, we must
take hold of the children of our farm
ers in their home schools, and there
show them that the problems of the
farm are great enough to enlist all
the brain power they can summon.
Once there is established in the mind
of the farm boy an intellectual in
sight in to the problems of the farm,
the nature of better farmers, better
farms, and wider, stronger conserva-
ton of the resources of the state, will
be established 1t seems to me self
evident if we are to reach this great
body of men in whose hands lie the
destinies of all future agriculture and
to a great extent, the veal of the
whole country, it must be through the
schools in which and in which alone
they receive their education.

surrounding imported fish should be abol-

praisers here today to give a ing on
the matter
The importers have regarded the issue
OF great importance. because they claim
that with n duty on brine their profits are
materially reduced. Importers from New
York, Baltimore and Philadelphia wore
here to attend the hearing. The general
contention OF the importers IL that the
duty on brine is not a protection. that IL
is not levied on a fair basis and that real
ly the brine should not be considered part
OF the fish.
