Devices for increasing the keeping
property of milk are outlined in bulle-
tin No. 20, recently issued by H. w.
Conn of the Connecticut experiment
station. According to the bulletin,
aeration does not remove bacteria from
milk, but, on the contrary, exposes it
to contamination from the air. Ihls
work, therefore, should always be done
in clean room not connected with the
stable. Better results are obtained by
clean milking and immediate bottling
and cooling than by aerating, provid-
ed the milk is kept clean and the cool
ing is thorough.
The washing milk pals and pans re-
ceive on an ordinary farm, in which
one small lot of boiling water serves
for washing several milk pals, does
not clean them. In fact, it always
leaves large numbers of bacteria, espe-
cially in the cracks, ready to mix with
the next lot of milk drawn into the
pail. If possible these utensils should
be steamed daily.
The amount Of dirt and filth which
gets into milk from the cow is sur
prising and is one of the chief causes
of the rapid spelling Of milk. Expert
ments have shown that covered pals
keep &C per cent Of this dirt out of the
milk. On this account good dairymen
are beginning to use special pals.
A West Texas Ration.
"My milk cows average about 800
pounds live weight, and | want to
know how much cottonseed meal and
hulls to feed for the best returns in
milk and butter; have sorghum hay"
writes a western Texas farmer to
Farm and Ranch of Dallas. to which
the editor of that paper makes answer
as follows:
"Your milk herd will give large
flow of milk of good butter content it
fed six pounds of cottonseed meal, ten
pounds of bulls and eight to ten
pounds of sorghum hay daily. In some
cases the COWS fed upon this ration do
not relish the sorghum hay, and in
that event it is advisable to reduce the
sorghum hay some four pounds and
substitute two pounds Of corn chops or
Kaffir corn chops in it's stead. The
cottonseed meal will cause the butter
to be hard in cold weather because of
the large amount fed, but beyond this
there is no objection to its liberal use
in the ration"

is so arranged as to not only milk the
COWS automatically, but also incloses
the milk in an air tight receptacle as
long as it is in the proximity of the ami
mail This is accomplished by reser-
voir suspended overhead and connected
with the teat cups by a short section
of hose. By means of a vacuum Great
ed in the pipe to which the reservoir is
attached the milk is drawn from the
teats and deposited in the receptacle,
whence it can be removed to the cream
cry for further treatment before being
placed on sale.-Philadelphi LeCger.
The Best Keeper.
Professor Mckay. after scoring the
butter at the recent Iowa convention,
was asked to pick out tub of good
butter for Governor Cummins, some
thing that would keep. In the language
of Professor Mckay, the writer did
not pick the first nor the second tub nor
the third. fourth or fifth, yet the tub
selected would undoubtedly rank first
if the butter We're kept 4 few weeks.
1t was high in salt, probably contain
flavor. but not pronounced owing to the
excessive amount of salt used This
grade of butter possesses great CONNER
cial value" 1t strikes us that butter
makers might do we'll to get away
from the clean. mild. sweet flavor
which has become so popular in recent
years and make little f1atter butter
containing Il proper amount of properly
incorporated salt to give it keeping
Quality.-Creamery Journal.
To Keep Refrigerators Dry.
A good many of the new, expensive
refrigerators are getting widowed this
winter. caused by the absence of cir
culatiOn now the buttermakers do not
ice them. These refrigerators are too
good to be spoiled in this way but the
dampneSs which fills them every time
the door to the creamery is opened is
sure to make them moldy. as there is
nothing to absorb the moisture Wher-
ever one Of the doors in the ice cham
Der leads out to the open air this door
should be left open. If all the doors
open to the creamery. as is the case at
a good many places. the REFRIGERATOR
should be kept well supplied with ice
in order to keep up the circulation of
air. 1t should not be much work to
keep the chamber filed with ice. and
it is labor well repaid. A good white
washing will help some, and barrel
of lime kept in the refrigerator all the
time may also prove beneficial, but ice
is a sure cure.-Dairy Record.

FEEDING AND FAT.
Experiments Showing Effects OF I'm
balanced RatiOns.

balanced RatiOns.
IN the case of short periods (ten days
to three weeks the results of the ex-
periments seem to be entirely consist
emit with the conclusion that seant feed
ing or the feeding of unbalanced IA
tons exerts an entirely insignificant
influence on the fat content of milk.
The results of all these experiments
which have come to my notice are sum-
med up in the following conclusions of
one such test.
The animals were fed for two weeks
on rations which Were insufficient. The
cows lost I'm weight, and in some cases
there was Il slight shrinkage i'm yield of
milk, but the composition remained
practically unchanged, indicating that
it is the flesh of the animals that first
declines when the aliment is INSULT
cient.
In the case of long continued, scant
fly and poorly balanced feeding 1t
seems to be clearly established that the
fat content of the milk may be mate
rally reduced below the normal. This
is illustrated by observation upon cows
in Norrland During the period from
January to May Norrland cows are in
general fed only a meager allowance
.of marsh hay and are therefore in
very poor condition when turned out
TO pasture in June. The results of
about 1000 analyses for these periods
of feeding show that on rich pasturage
their milk carried from 2.65 to 5.S per
cent, with an average Of 4 per cent Of
butter fat and that on Scant stable
feeding the milk carried from ITO to
46 per cent, with an average of 1926
per cent of butter fat. In discussing
these results the author concludes that
the fat content of milk cannot be in
creased at will by increasing a normal
ration, but, on the other hand, that it
poor rations. If change is made from
a deficient to normal ration, the fat
content of the milk will again be raised
to the limit determined by the inherent
qualities of the individual COW. This
point is more or less generally accept
ed and is of practical Importance in the
case of ordinary feeding only, as it in
dicates that cows may be below their
normal for some reasons and that a
proper ration may apparently increase
the percentage of fat, when in reality
it is only bringing the animals up to
their normal quality of milk.-Report

The Care of Managers

After feeding dry coarse fodder that
may contain any oats we always clean
out the managers before feeding grain,
and this is done once or twice each day.
depending on what we are feeding.
For thus cleansing them we use wide
shingle with little of the slim end
sawed off, and one can work rapidly
and well with it, as we clean out sixty
or more managers in ten or fifteen min
utes, depending upon their condition.
We never like to make a cow pick
grain from coarse fodder. A good deal
is wasted in feeding that way, yet we
have seen managers where apparently
the cow didn't get clean meal once 4
month. We remember looking in at one
barn owned by the man who enter
tanned the institute speakers. and there
was hardly n sound manager in the
barn, plenty of holes where the grain
dropped through to the ground beneath,
and the cow made frantic efforts to re-
cover it. No wonder dairying didn't
pay on the hosts farm, and he was
anxious to try some new line Once in
awhile we see a dairyman who feeds
wet feed, but we do not like this prac-
tice. The managers are apt to be wet all
the time. Wet, pasty grain accumulates
in the corners, and the hangers often
become very repulsive and insanitary.
Managers are often made much too large
at the bottom, and the cow makes des-
perate efforts to reach the feed in the
corners. She strains this way and that
and often slips and falls heavily to the
floor. and then we wonder why she has
big knees or even why abortion strikes
our herd.-Rural New Yorker.

The Streets of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam, in Holland, city Of ten
miles in circumference, is mostly built
on piles driven into the sandy subsoil,
but the flowing of the tide and the
debris of the Ainstel river have made
ninety islands, and the city has more
canals than streets. The watery ways
are traversed by over 800 bridges, so
that Amsterdam has earned the desig-
nation of the Venice of the North.

WRITER'S CRAMP.
Il Il . Sort of Paralysis Of Either
the Muscles OF Nerves.

Nh1 UT NeENeb
Writer'S cramp. which is more paraly-
Sis than cramp, Is caused by excessive
writing. especially when In a weak or
depressed condition. 1t Is still a mat
ter Of doubt whether this embarrass-
ing defect Is due to a failure OF the
central ervou system or whether 1t
arises In the muscles involved.
Duchenne. one Of the highest author
tiles on nerve diseases, holds that it Is
an affection Of the great nerve centers,
for local treatment of the hand does
no good, and cramp rapidly appears in
the left hand IL the sufferer transfers
the work to it. 1t Is probably caused
by the complete exhaustion Of some
portion of the brain which presides

muscles involved.
Rest is the chief, II not the only,
cure, though the substitution of a
keyboard typewriter in the early stage
IL often of no avail. A dial machine,
which must be grasped with finger and
