THE HERD.
Family Merit Ia of More Importance

wants registered animals of any of the
approved breeds can get them if he
will but make the effort, says IL. X.
Alvord, chief of the dairy division OF
the bureau Of animal industry. The
beginner in registered dairy stock can
not be too strongly urged TO buy ana
breed on the basis of individual and
family merit and dairy record, and no;
upon pedigree alone.
Pedigree is of great value and SHOULD
be well studied; it is the best guaranty
that the calves to come viii make govu
cows. But the pedigree should bc
supported by uniform e~Xcellencein tie

particular animals bought. AlthouG1

For the manufacture of cottage
cheese by the ordinary souring of milk
the New York experiment station sug-
gests this method:
y The milk is kept at a temperature
of 70 to rs degrees f. CT to "a degrees
CO. until it isl we'll curdled, which will
usually require t~wenty-four to forty
eight hours.J The curdled mass is then
broken up by hand or cut by a curd
knife and is heated gradually to 30
degrees f. GO degrees Co. and is kept
at this temperature until the whey APP
pears clear. When the heat is so APP
piled as to require thirty or forty min
utes to reach 80 degrees +. C32 degrees
CO, then the whey will separate clear
in fifteen or twenty minutes under nor
NAL conditions. The whey is then run
from the curd, and the curd is put
into muslin bags or placed on racks
and allowed to drain until whey ceases
to come from the curd. The curd is
then sailed at the rate Of about one
pound Of salt for 100 pounds of curd, or
to taste, shaped into balls and finally
wrapped in oiled paper that may be
obtained from any dairy supply house
For the finest quality of cheese the
curd should be mixed with thick cream,
preferably ripened cream at the rate
of n ounce of cream for one pound OF
cheese before being made into balls.

Glover ~HaylnaExing.

DR.. l. 4. Thayer has done q state full
Of good, preaching the gospel of clover
throughout Pennsylvania, says the Ma
tional Stockman. DR.. Thayer says
that he cures his clover chiefly in the
shock and that q rain does not damage
it much. Those of our readers who do
not shock the clover until it is nearly
cured may fail to understand how this
may be, but note DR.. Thayer's state
ment: He puts the clover into shocks
"as soon as the stalks and branches
have wilted and before any of the
leaves are dried The shocks are mar
row and broad at the top, so that they
will not burn. Glover that is barely
wilted settles together very closely,
and water does not penetrate it easily.
This method Of making clover hay is
practiced also by the Ralstons Of Arm
strong county, Pa, and they rather
welcome some rain as soon as the wilt
ed clover has gone into shock.

STRIPPING THE COW.

and better with the dry hand, says II.
G.. Manchester in Rural New Yorker.
We usually milk crossways-that is,
II hand on opposite corner teats. This
is not so tiresOme a way as where both
hands milk the two nearest and the
two farthest teats at the same time,
as it does not tire the arms so much
when both are not in exactly the same
position. When changing from one
teat to another, do SO gently. We have
seen many COWS disturbed by q sud-
den, rather violent change from II
teat to another. Milk q full stream
as long as possible and do not strip, as
it is easy to make a stripper by i'm
proper milking. AS soon as you have
all that will come with the full hand
stream, q few seconds work on each
teat, as in illustration, will complete the
job. Remember hat the last milk from
the COW is much the richest and often
has ten times as much fat as the
first few stream down. Study your
COW while milking and note the form
of the best cows. 1t will make milk
ing a much more interesting job.

Root Crops and Silage.

It is essential to the best yields and
most economical results that succulent
food be provided for cows during the
winter months, says WILDER ]. Fraser.
There are two ways of providing this
~succulent food-by silage and by root
crops. BY comparing the results OBJ
tdined at several different experiment
stations it is found that corn common
ly yields about twice as much nutri-
ents per acre as do root crops. Since
roots require much more hand labor,
which is so expensive in this country,
# is more economical for the corn belt
farmer to get the succulent feed dur
ny the winter from corn silage than
from root crops.

Professor G. l.. Beach in an address
before the New Hampshire dairymen's
convention said, among other things:
although the final proof of the value
Of any COW and her right to be kept in
the herd should depend upon her abili-
ty as shown by the scales and fat test,
it very often happens that q dairyman
must rely upon his own judgment in
| the selection of COWS for his herd.
1.-THE COW whose good records are
known is not usually for sale. Even If
the buyer had time to make a short
test. that would not be sufficient to
prove the worth of the COW. Usually
he has to depend upon experience and
possibly in some cases careful study
in judging of the capacity of q COW for
dairy performance, from what be can
observe in her form and from the gem
eral impression which she makes upon
him. But the ability to judge 4 good
cow under such circumstances is not
common among dairymen.
Thousands Of dairymen have owned
and handled cows nearly all their lives
and yet are poor judges Of cattle. The
reason for this is that the knowledge
which they have gained from their ex-
pericnce is superficial. They have made
little or no study of the COW except in
the aggregate; they never have proved
or corrected their judgments by rec
ords or tests. The type Of a good dali
ry cow is q vague conception in their
minds based more upon personal opin-
ion than upon evidence or fact
Source of Fat In MILK.
The earlier Investigators were in
cIined to ascribe to protein the source
Of fat in milk. says L. w. Lightly in
National Stockman. Or, ArpsDy in his
Manual Of Cattle Feeding says: 'Ex-
perimcnts have shown that carniTpr-
Gus animals on d purely meat diet pro-
duccd normal milk, thus proving that
milk fat may be formed from albu-
minoids." Yes. there are things we
have not learned yet, but we are pref
ty sure that the cow must have q GER
taia quantity and a certain proportion
of protein, carbohydrates and fat if
she is to do her best in making a prof
liable dairy product for us.

Watering Cows.


1t is true that the cow can live and
be watered only once a d0y. some
times once in two days. But that is
not her nature nor the way to make
her give most profit, says j. S. Wood
ward in Rural New Yorker. The COW
is a ruminant and as such never drinks
because she is thirsty. No II ever
saw a COW drinking on an empty stom-
ach provided she could get water at
will. They first take in the feed; then
they take a sip Of water and commence
to "eat' Chew the cud). In a little
time. they sip more water, and so on
continually. Now, the COW knows a
heap more than nine-tenths Of the
men who care for her, and she says
clearly by her actions that she wants
it often instead of Il half barrel once
or twice a day. We have a COW now
in our stable that drinks not less than
IS quarts, about $50 pounds Of water
every day, for which she is giving at
least % quarts of milk, about 81
pounds. She could not do that only
watered once or even twice a day.
