MILKING WITH WET HANDS.
It Is Practice Sanctioned by Long
Usage, But It Should Be
Discontinued.

In milking, the hands do not need
to be wet. The habit of wetting them
should be abandoned, as it is prac-
tically impossible to keep the hands
moist without using the foam on the
milk as a source of moisture. The
milker may imagine that by merely
touching his fingers to the top of the
foam no injury comes to the milk but
the habit had better be abandoned in
the interest of cleanliness. We think
however that some of our writer's
overdraw the matter when they talk
of mixers dipping their fingers into
the milk The inference is that the
fingers of the mixers reach the solid
milk. The writer has never seen a
case of this kind. According 70 the
writer's referred to, the mixers dip
their fingers into the milk and convey
to the teats of the COW so much of the
milk that the latter drips from the
teats into the pail and oozes out from
between the fingers in milking. Who
ever saw a case of this kind? But
even at it's best, the habit of moisten-
ing the teats with milk is not one that
should be perpetuated. If the hands
were to be moistened at all, pure
water would have to be kept near for
that purpose. This is impracticable
Therefore let us put aside the practice
Of moistening the teats at all and milk
with dry hands.-Farmers' Review.

FOOD AND SIZE OF COWS.
Some Valuable Thoughts on an I'M
portant Subject Furnished by
British Dairyman.

Good and persistent milking produces
mixers and the development of milking
qualities, whereas on the contrary il
lrregularity and neglect is practiced the
talents which would develop with use
will naturally disappear, even what
there is. 1t is great mistake to sup
pose that dairy COWS all belong to one
breed, says Robert Pethridge They
vary from the Small Kerry of Ireland,
the Jersey and Guernsey of the Channel
islands, the hardy Ayrshire of Scotland,
the dual-purpose Shorthorn and Devon
of the west Of England, to the Red Polled
Norfolk of the east of England and 9TH
ers, all of which with selection and de-
velopment produce magnificent dairy
cows. 1t is the character of the food
more than anything else that determines
the size. AS we know, in those districts
which do not produce rich and abundant
grasses you will not find large cows, and
in those districts which do produce the
necessary constituents for growth and
milk producing, in few years small
bred animal will become the parent of a
large type, and with continuous milking
will furnish many good mixers. Select
and test your COWS and use bull from
a family which has milk record, and re-
member that your bull is half your herd.

WILL NOT SELL Fertility.
Why the Progressive Farmers Of
Northern Illinois No Longer Dis
pose of Their Skim Milk.

The farmers Of the corn belt are
coming more and more to appreciate
the value of their skim milk for feed
ing on their farms to their calves,
hogs and poultry. Talking with the
manager of creamery in northern
Illinois, representative of the Farm
ers' Review was told that he could
buy no skim milk for making up into
cottage cheese; for the reason that
the farmers in his vicinity would znot
sell it, They declared that it was
worth at least 20 cents per 100 pounds
for feeding to their farm animals, and
that they preferred to keep it, even if
they could get that for it. One man
lived not far from bottling establish
ment where he could get a good price
for his whole milk, but he preferred
to haul it to whole milk creamery
that he might get the skim milk to use
on his farm. In this same locality one
year the farmers quite generally
sold their skim milk for shipping to the
city, but when fall came found that
their hogs were in poor condition on
account of having been deprived OF
the skim milk in the early periods OF
their lives. The next year they made
a change and held back the skim
milk for their own use. We doubt
very much if 20 cents per 100 pounds
represents the true vale of the skim
milk for feeding purposes. That may
be indicated by the actual chemical
content of the milk, but it has a value
beyond that, which is the value that
it has in combination with corn. 1t
has been shown that corn is worth
very much more when fed with skim
milk than when fed alone. AS bal
ANGER for corn it has a value that the
chemist will never be able to deter

colored, while the salt should be. evenly
distributed and thoroughly dissolved.
The package should be neat and clean,
using a good grade of paper for wrap
ping. AS I said before, we should cater
to the trade. If we are making for GER
tain market, make what that market de-
mands. If making for special CUSTOM
ers, endeavor to suit their tastes in every
particular. This is important, for, while
one customer likes full-favored but
ter, another likes mild one. One likes
the butter pale; another highly colored;
one likes very little salt; another quite
a quantity. 1t is by catering to these
likes and dislikes that our butter will
be in demand, and we shall receive a
good price for it"

have for number Of years, even
with silo at hand, steamed hundreds Of
tons of shredded fodder. This l have
fed not only in the dairy, but to hogs,
sheep, fattening cattle, young stock, and
to horses. 1t makes feed so much more
palatable than the dry fodder that it pays
for the small trouble and expense of
treating the fodder, simply for the satis-
faction given the stock l can secure a
greater gain of weight on fattening stock
and heavier flow OF milk in the dairy
with steamed fodder than can with the
best quality of shredded fodder dry, or
Of almostany of the ordinary hay. This is
because cattle eat it with so much moro
relish that large amounts are consumed
and the available nutrients are rendered
more digestible.
There are number of simple ways in
which the fodder may be steamed, the
main essential being to provide some
means for producing live steam. The
object is to steam the hay and never to
cook or boil, or to water-soak it farther

Using Wooden Pals for Milk

Under circumstances as they exist
on many farms it is better not to use
wooden vessels of any kind for the
holding OF milk. The use of tho wood
en- pail is to be objected to for the
reason that it is difncult to keep clean.
The pores in the wood readily take in
portions of the milk and only q severe
treatment in the: way OF, scalding each
time can keep them out, This is il
lustrated in the care of ;churns, both
great and small. II they are care
fully washed and dried they remain
sweet for years. The wooden milk
pail will remain sweet If 1t is con-
stantly washed and saturated = with
boiling water, but on some farms this
is not done. Therefore, it is safer to
depend on some kind of a vessel that
has no pores, and that is easily
washed.-Farmers' Review.

courts declaring constitutional the ma.
tional oleo law which taxes oleo col

sive, being six to three. This puts an
end to the long-drawn-out fight, and

BUTTER THAT SELLS CHEAP
In Nine Cases Out of Ten It Is Made
from Cream That Has Stood
Too Long.

Men that use hand separaters should
see to it that the cream is taken to the
creameries before it gets too old to be
mace into good butter, if they are in
the hablt OF taking it to the creameries
at all. Some that have been negligent
III tnls matter have been in the habit of
waiting two or three days over time and
tnen hauling or sending their cream to
tne place where it is to be made up into
putter. The creamery manager should
never take this old cream, but many
90 1t because they say they can sell all
tnelr butter at top price anyway. The
result is that this butter goes onto the
general market and large quantities Of
such product are bought up by the cold
storage men and put away to be used
months after the time when it came into
tnelr hands. During this time the bad
qualities of the old cream come to the
surface, and when the butter is taken
out OF cold storage, it grades far below
What 1t graded when it went in. Then
the commission handlers of this prod
uct say that the deterioration is due to
the fact that the butter was made from
cream skinned by hand separator. A
great and useful invention is thus
blamed for something that would have
happened just the same if the farmer had
raised his cream by the gravity process.
only in that case the cream would have
been made up into butter at home rather

into the hands Of the wholesale handlers

to hold the boiler and a reasonable

run as shown at e, having valves d, to
regulate supply of steam from steamer
to bins. Pipes are run into bins from one
to two or three inches above floor of
steaming bins, having an upward exit
as shown at f. Other arrangements may
be made in the matter of laying the pipe,
which may be run into and around CEN
ter of bins, with holes bored in pipe to
allow steam to escape at different
points, thus securing possibly better
distribution. The arrangement as
shown, however, has always given me
satisfaction. These bins or boxes should
be lined with heavy zinc, the sides and
bottom as we'll as the lid, which should
be 80 arranged about the edges as to

OLD COW BREAKS RECORD.
Gives Down Twenty-Four Quarts at
=. Milking and Walks OF T..
~" 'n~ with a Chuckle. -~ 49,

Henry w. Brown, of Flanders, L. l..
has COW that is almost prolific enough
in milk giving to establish full-fedged
milk route all by herself. She gave
"a quarts of milk at one milking. This
is the most astonishing feat yet &C.
complished by Suffolk county COW, so
far as can be learned.
The COW is about eight years old. She
is Of no particular breed-just COW,
that's all. Previous to this remarkable
record she had been doing nothing Won
derful in milk giving; in fact, her best
record last summer was 18 quarts at
two milkings.
When Mr.. Brown went out to milk
her he thought the COW looked at him
with rather peculiar expression, al
most as if she would say: 'I'm going
to do something wonderful for you this
time" Mr.. Brown carried a regular
size milk pail, and, seating himself, pro-
ceeded to relieve the COW of her milk.
He was not much surprised in filing
the pail the first time, but when he got
it full he noticed that there appeared
to- be plenty of it left, and after emptying
the pail he started in again. During
the filling of this pail the COW kept turn
ing around and looking at him with what
her owner declared was a rather
amused expression on her face.
When the second pail was nearly filled
he muttered to himself: "Great Scott!
Brindle, you're a regular fountain"
After emptying the second pailful, and
going back toward the cow, he swears
the animal fairly laughed at him. When
he filled the pail for the second time, he
notified his family of the wonderful cow
he had out in the barnyard, and re-
marked that he thought they had bet
ter get out the washtub for him to milk
in. The third pail was not filled COM
pletely full, though, before the supply
was exhausted. Both Mr.. Brown and
the cow heaved sighs of relief when the
wonderful milking ordeal was COM
pleted, and at the same time both looked
proud-the man because he owned such
a wonder and the COW because she had
done so well for her master.

Queer Methods Of Dairvinp,

A report from Consul Lespinasse,
Tuxpam, Mexico, describes the qua amt
methods of dairying in practice in that
region. Cream is roughly skinned
and either beaten with forked switch
or swashed about in bottle until the
butter forms. This sells for a dollar
a pound (silver) and "is neither good
to look at nor to TASTE" Cheese is
made by COMPRISING whey in coarse
cloth, sailing and allowing to dry sew

mass, an inch thick and five inches in
diameter, worth from IL to 18 cents.

for improvement. No exceptions to
