Profits From the silo.

county to get material to use at the
meeting of the Dairymen's association,
says a Wisconsin farmer in American
Cultivator l took the statements of
forty eight patrons of creamery and
took them right along as found them,
made no selections at all. OF that for
ty-eight there were six who had silos;
forty-two did not.
When / got the returns from the
creamery found that the average re-
turn from butter from those who fed
silage was $52.52 per COW per year.
The average return for butter of the
forty-two who did not feed silage was
S34 per cow per year, 1882 less. The
net profit over the cost Of feeding to
the six who fed silage was $21.O2, and
of those who did not feed silage 1t was
81. Those who fed silage got In gross
receipts "a per cent more than those
who did not feed it, and in net profits
above the cost of feed the men who fed
silage got more than 500 per cent more
than those who did not feed it.

CARE OF THE DAIRY COW.
Haphazard Methods Produce Little
but Vexation and Loss.

There are many men who still fol-
low the old time custom of having an
their cows becoming fresh in the
spring. In our own work we find that
we can secure at least 1000 pounds of
milk per cow more by having them
become fresh late in September or Dc
tober, writes L. d. Stillson in Farm
ers' Advocate. We can then carry
good flow of milk through the win
ter into spring with its green feed,
giving a very even continuous flow
nine or ten months. Then the COW has
a much needed rest just when heat.
flies and short pasturage cut the milk
flow most.
AS to feeds and how to feed. each
person should study a little for him
self. If we are after the greatest flow
of milk, irrespective of cost, we would
say wet or steam all dry feed and
grind all grain. 1t is a matter of doubt
with us as to whether it pays to grind
feed for healthy, active COW. The
returns, however, may not be quite so
large when the feed is not ground.
AS to her care before calving, her
food should be somewhat reduced in
quantity and Of a cooling, laxative
nature Roots, silage, alfalfa hay and
shredded corn fodder are excellent for
roughage. Oats, bran or a little oil
meal are good as concentrates. After
calving only tepid water should be
given for at least a couple of days.
Keep her in a dry, warm, boxed stall
and see that she gets no sudden chill
for several days.
When the dairyman has gone to the
expense of cows, stables, land, utensils,
etc., for dairy work he must keep one
principle well in mind-that is, that
about go per cent of all the feed the
cow can eat goes to her maintenance
and that he must make his profit on
the balance Of what she eats. With
this in view he can very readily see
that he must be liberal with his feed
if he will make the most from his in
yestment. He should watch his feed
ing very carefully and know of a GER
tainty that he is feeding all his cows
will stand. BY carefully weighing his
milk at every milking, then by careful
" weighing or measuring the feed, he
can increase his feed just so long as
there is a corresponding increase in
milk, but he should watch closely for
the dangerous point of overlooking.

Need of soiIfng crons.

The crucial period for the creamery
begins with the hot weather and con
tinues until the cows begin to freshen
in the fall, says E. K. Slater in Cream
cry Journal. This fact is in evidence
because Of neglect of the cows upon
the farm. The annual rapid decrease
in the milk flow at the advent of hot
weather has become recognized as a
necessity, and no particular effort is
put forth upon the average farm to
prevent it. This periodical slump in
the milk flow at our creameries could
be avoided If our farmers would grow
soiling crops and give the cows some
thing out of which to make milk dur
ing the hot summer days. They would
be abundantly recompensed for their
efforts.

The particles of dust in the barn and
those adhering to the udder and TANKS
of the cows contribute large quota OF
the undesirable germs usually found ia
dairying in Michigan Agricultural col
lege. With a reasonable amount of
care contamination from these sources
may be avoided. In the first place,
cows should never be bedded or fed i'm
mediately before or during milking,
and the barn should be thoroughly
cleaned at least once daily, and this
after milking. Further, it is of the
highest Importance that the mixers be
provided with moist cloths with which
to dampen the udder and the TANKS of
the COW before milking to prevent dis
lodgment of dust.
1t is wrong to think that milk is
clean from which the visible filth
dust, hairs and straws-has been re-
moved by straining. The mischief lies
not so much in the straw as in the bad
germs that reside upon it. The numer-
Gus germs that adhere to dust parti-
cles, hairs and straws are not removed
by the ordinary process of straining,
and it is these germs that are the
source of an endless amount Of trouble
to the butter and cheese maker.
Scrupulous cleanliness in dairy man.
ufacture is of first Importance. The
dairy room should be well ventilated
and should receive a thorough daily
cleaning with hot water and soap. The
utensils are preferably cleaned in the
following manner: First, rinse with
warm water; second, wash in moder-
ately hot water containing some alkali;
third, rinse in hot water, and, fourth,
steam or scald with hot water a few
minutes.
How to Milk q Cow.
Milking is one of the most important
jobs on the farm, and it is also a never
ending one-365 days in the year and
an extra one this year for good meas
ure, says a correspondent of Rural
New Yorker. M

What the Cow Needs.

In 100 pounds of milk there are about
thirteen pounds of what is called milk
solids, or the dry matter in milk. OF
this about four pounds is fat and nine
pounds solids not fat, says L. w. Ligh-
ty in National Stockman. OF this latter
about three and half pounds are case
in and albumen, four and three-fourths
pounds milk sugar and about three
fourths of a pound ash or mineral mat
ter. 1t is well to always remember
this when making up a feeding ration
for the dairy COW. She must first live
and supply her own wants, and from
what is left she will get the material
to make the milk.

Feeding the Milk Makers

The early grass contains very little
nutriment. although it is greatly relish
ed by the cows. Keep up the supply
of feed until the grass is fully ma
tured.
Cottonseed Meal and HulIs.
A Texas correspondent of Hoard's
Dairyman says: Some one has stated
that good butter can't be made by
feeding cottonseed meal and hulls.
Now, he is very much mistaken. We
have been feeding meal and hulls for
twenty years and find it the best feed
known to man if fed with bran and
cOrnmeal. We feed one quart of cot
tOnseed meal, one quart of cornmeal
and four quarts Of wheat bran good
first class BRAN and four pounds of
hulls twice per day, and our cows will
do their best on an average.
Don't Overfeed.
Don't feed the cows more than they
will eat up clean. Give them sufi-
cheney, but at the same time keep their
appetites keen.-Dairy and Creamery.
The Best For the Cow.
To do her best the COW needs a bal
anced ration If she has a ration de-
ficient in protein, a better ration might
change the quality of the milk. Any
excess of carbohydrates and fat over
that would not change the quality. In
other words, if COW is given bal
anced ration so as to do her best as
nature intended, no amount of feeding
can change permanently the richness
of the milk When a COW is thus nor
mally fed the per cent of butter fat
in the test is determined by the indi-
YidualitY of the cow.

hand or damp cloth, which will take
up any dust, but do not use a wet
rag. Before starting to milk, If the
cow is not hard one, work the milk
to coming into the teat, so that you
can start with full stream. If the
cow is hard mixer omit the latter,
as she will start more easily before
the teats are pressed full. See that
your finger nails are short, so that
In no way will they irritate the COW.
The illustration shows what we be-
ieve to be the right position while
milking. Notice that the pail is di-
rectly under the udder and is held per-
fectly level The mixer can draw
full stream directly downward without
pulling or twisting the teats or udder.
If the COW lifts her foot the left arm
is right there to protect the pail.

DressinE a cheese.

To dress a cheese first put it in warm
water for few moments and then
wipe dry and rub smooth. Take piece
of linen cloth about six inches wide
and long enough to go around the
cheese and lap over few inches.
Wrap the cloth smoothly around the
cheese, folding the edges down care
fully over the sides; then put a circu-
lar cap of cloth of suitable size on each
side. Replace the cheese in the mold,
with the bandage or dress all smooth,
and put it under the press, moving the
pail to the end of the stick. Leave the
cheese in the press for about twenty
hours; then take it out and salt it.
Points In matchmaking.
Buttermaking has undergone many
changes of late years in the line of
washing, sailing and working. For
merly it was churned until il was one
solid mass 1t was washed once, sailed
and worked, says st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. 1t was thought best to churn at
a temperature of about 60 degrees, but
gradually the temperature has been
lowered until now it is not unusual to
churn as low as 48 degrees. A low
temperature has many advantages.
The loss in butter fat will be less, the
butter will need less washing and have
better body than when churned at a
higher temperature.
