The people of Flat run are feeling

about it that they are complimenting
themselves and everybody else on
their good behavior. They also com

matter how much he was deceived,
when he said: @Well, there are smart
men on both sides, and fellow

That Is the usual result of a joint
discussion and the meeting at Flat
run, attended by about two hundred
people, is no exception. The princi

and earnestly presented as the speak

CARE OF THE UDDER.
How 1t should BE Treated When
Caked and COngested.

HOW ShOuAO DG AECAACW WHICH,
Caked and COngested.
The following extracts from the ad
dress of DR.. A. t. Peters, veterinarian
of the Nebraska experiment station, be-
fore the Wisconsin 6airymen's conven-
ton, are reprinted from Hoards Dairy
man:
The udder is to be considered some
thing like a sponge. 1t is very porous.
full of holes, and for that reason it is
a very delicate member, and it wants
to be treated in that way. | am not
a dairyman, but | am told that some
mixers have a less gentle touch than
Others and there is an irritation caus-
ed, and this irritation will produce seri-
Gus results by clogging up these little
tubes, and the result is that the quarter
will be gone, if not the entire udder. 3
Now, then, the question is what to
do You have probably tried a great
many things, but l have found this
the best remedy. and it is something
that farmers can do. l have here an
ordinary milk tube with a little bib
at the end Of it. | use rubber tube
something like an ordinary hand bicy-
Gle pump. Now, | insert this tube
carefully into the quarter that is affect
ed, and I fill it up with air. | do not
probe in there with darning needles
and other kinds of instruments, but
fill up this spongy organ with air, and
it is like filling a sponge with water.
If the udder is caked, you put in as
| much air as you can. Then you mas
sage or work with your hand and
work that air ali through the quarter,
and you will hear the bursting of these
little vesicles, these little tubes. You
can burst all of them in two or three
applications of that kind, and you will
| generally restore the udder / have
! treated several hundred very bad cases,
and / know it works all right, and
any one of you can easily do it.
Now, where the entire udder soon
after calying has become caked we use
what is known as the compress. We
take a piece of heavy cloth and put it
on so that it lifts up the entire udder
and tie it on top. We usually use
straw with it. so that we do not chafe
the back of the animal That is to re-
lieve the pressure. You will notice
that the udder is very heavy and that
the pressure must be relieved before
anything else is done. If you want to
assist take several small five or ten
pound bags and fill them with bran,
keep them hot and apply them to the
udder. That is the treatment that we
use where there is very great amount
of congestion. Now, those are about
the simplest methods of treating dis.
eases of the udder that can explain
the massage for the diseased quarter
and the compress for the whole udder.

Sailing Farm Made cheese.

The cheese may be either dry sailed
or brine sailed Brine sailing is the
better way, says FL. E. Alvord, chief of
the bureau of animal industry. Make
d solution of salt and water as strong
as it can possibly be made. Put the
cheese into this brine and sprinkle
some salt on the surface which is ex-
posed as it floats. Leave the cheese in
brine for two and a half days, turning
it over every twelve hours. For dry
sailing rub salt on to the cheese and
all over it twice day for three or four
days.

MILKING HElFERS.
III Handled Gently There Is No Dffh-
Guilty I'm Training Them.


I don't bother heifers by handling
the udders before they come in, says
q Massachusetts correspondent of Prac-
teal Farmer.
But from the time the calf comes in
to my hands / convince ler that | am
her very best friend. I can call the
calves anywhere. | never strike or
scare one. If they are bad box them
very lightly on the cheek. 1t is quite
sufficient. l try never to let one be
hungry or thirsty or uncomfortable if
l can help it and let them have all the
little teats and all the liberty | can,
just as l would good children. And
very good they are in return, as rule.
BY the time the heifer is eighteen
months or two years old she has no
fear Of me and only a sense of security
in my presence. Indeed, the little
calves whose mothers | have owned
for two or three generations are never
so shy as are those l purchase. Then
when the heifer comes in | turn her
loose into a quiet box, give her pail
of mash, sit down with the calf close
by me and milk That is all there is
to it. One heifer last season | MIXED
for the first time in ten acre field
without fastening her in any way.
She is a tender mixer too. For few
days / always milk with the calf by

three weeks. Then any one can milk.

Ktndness pays I'm Milking.

There is no necessity of such fuss
over milking-a little gentleness, plen-
ty of patience and sympathy says
Practical Farmer. Cows are nervous.
timid and sensitive. Never try to milk
with cold hands. Remember how you
feel with a cold finger thrust down
your back. Never speak gruff1y or
abruptly. You don't like it, neither do
the cows. Don't grab at them. How
would you like to be jerked about sud-
denly? Always speak gently when you
sit down to milk. Stroke the COW soft
ly once or twice before beginning, and
she won't kick or put her foot in the
pail without cause. If she does, try to
find out what is the matter If her I'D
der is sore, rub with camphorated oil
for caked bag or Inflammation, with
sweet oil, vaseline or castor oil for
sores, scratches, bruises, etc.

How Prize butter Was Made.

Mr.. Barrett, the buttermaker who
sent the prize winning tub of butter to
the Ohio state dairymen's meeting,
when asked how he made the butter
that won said:
Il tried to get the best milk could;
told the patrons that wanted to make
a tub Of butter for the contest and
urged them to bring the milk in in good
shape. Pasteurized the whole milk at
ITO degrees, cooled down to So, then
put in vat and heated to 60; put in 20
per cent starter, with 6 per cent acid
ity. had heavy cream-40 per cent
fat-and I thought I would use a
strong starter After starter had been
added / had 81 per cent cream; ripened
cream at 60 degrees. About 10 o'clock
that night cooled it down to 81 and
the next morning churned at 81; used
one and half ounces salt to the pound
of butter; worked three times and
packed in good tub. There were 13S
pounds Of butter in that churning.'

Individua1tty OF cow.

The same feed will not necessarily
produce milk of the same quality from
different cows. Two cows may be fed
exactly the same ration, and one will
give milk rich in butter fat, while the
milk of the other will contain COM
paratively low per cent of butter fat.
This is one of the DEGREES of nature to
which we must submit and which no
system Of feeding will change.

Massage of the Udder.
If one of your heifers is developing
an unevenly balanced udder, massage
the undeveloped quarter daily and no
tice the improvement, says an old dali
ryman.
Difficult Churning.
During cold weather our cream be-
gan to get hard to churn. 1t would
er, writes a correspondent of National
Stockman and Farm. We nearly failed
to get any butter from one or two
churnings, so we began to experiment
by getting a box of condition powders
and feeding each COW morning and
evening from one to two tablespoon
fuls of the powders in a handful of
wheat bran. The first time we churn-
ed after commencing to use powders
the butter gathered somewhat better,
and the next time we churned the but
ter came in about one-half hour.
How to Select a Dairy Cow.
| In buying a cow we always look well
to the head. A clear, bright eye; deli
| cate, gentle head; well developed milk
| veins and udder. supplemented by a
good digestive capacity. usually center
in the COW that is good mixer, says
farmer in Dairy and Creamery. Well
placed teats and an udder that extends
well in front are other details the dairy
breeder looks for. A little practice will
enable one to select the good cows in
every herd.
