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 II
irregularity and neglect is practiced the
talents which would develop with use
will naturally disappear. even what
there is. 1t is a great mistake to sup
pose that dairy cows all belong to one
breed, says Robert Pethrdge. 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 a few years small
bred animal will become the parent OF
large type, and with continuous milking
will furnish many good mixers. Select
and test your cows and use bull from
family which has milk record, and re-
member that your bull is half your herd.

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 1t that the cream is taken to the
creameries before it gets too old to be
made into good butter, IL they are in
the habit of taking It to the creameries
at all. Some that have been negligent
In this matter have been in the habit of
waiting two or three days over time and
then hauling or sending their cream to
the place where IL is to be made up into
butter The creamery manager should
never take this old cream, but many
do 1t because they say they can sell all
their 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 IL came into
their 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, 1t grades far below
what It graded when 1t 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 a 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
than been sent to the creamery and got
into the hands of the wholesale handlers

one of the chief causes of the farmers
