Marathon County (Vis.) Gov Ihse

Butter Fat In Q Year. n

" A Marathon county (Wis.) COW has
beaten the worlds record as butter
maker. Yeksa Sunbeam, the prize
American born and bred Guernsey COW
belonging to the Helendale herd Of Fred
Reitbrock, at Athens, has finished her
test of one year and has given in that
time S2k55 pounds more Of butter fats
than has ever been given before. I'll
e In the year of the test Just ended
Yeksa Sunbeam gave the phenomenal
quantity Of S57.145 pounds Of butter tat
that has stood the required tests. Her
closest rival Is an imported COW, Prin-
cess Rhea, who gave 1850 pounds.
Other high records that have been made
are: Pretoria, four and 4 half years old.

sey Of American birth. Shells distinct
lively northern cow, having been calved
in Minnesota and for several years hav.
ing been owned and fed on the Helen
dale farm near Athens. She entered
the test because her owners believed
that not only was she good COW but be-
cause they believed that the grass and
cattle foods OF Marathon country were
the best the world produced. That be-
lief has been fully sustained, in fact was
sustained when at the end of II months
she had beaten the test for IL months.

No Great Outlay Necessary to Equip
the Dairy to Handle That
Quality Of Milk.

The more attention I give to the sub
iect. the more am convinced that
brains and not money is the chief re.
quirement where one would produce
sanitary milk, writes r. A. Pearson, In
the Country Gentleman. The whole
problem is to keep bacteria out Of the
milk. and in discussions Of various
means and aids to this end, so much
prominence has been given to expen'
sive equipment that good many per-
sons have been led to believe that clean
milk can be produced only where

the space above, thereby being purified,
then passes on into the udder. The milk
tube should be boiled and not touched
with the hand until after being used. I
also clean the udder, and milk out thor
oughly, then wash the udder with dis
injecting solution.
If this is of any benefit you may pub
lish it, but I wish you would add your
own comments on same. as 1t is my own
invention, and would like to know what
others think about it.

money is layishly expended. This r.
serious misunderstanding, and the fact
that sanitary milk can be produced on
an ordinary dairy farm, under the
management Of q careful, painstaking,
and always-prese person, even better
than on farm where many thousands
Of dollars have been expended for the
best equipment money can buy, but
which ia managed by person who gives
most of his attention to other matters,
and is present only occasionally, was
strongly impressed upon me few days
ago.
=. have Just visited the farm Of sue
cessful New York datryman, where GER
titled milk is being produced for the
New York market. This has long been a
dairy farm, and the owner has herd
of about 80 splendid Jersey COWS. His
pastures and his buildings are no more
expensive and no better than could b
had by thousands Of dairymen. The
principal changes in the equipment and
methods Of work which he has made
since beginning to produce certified
milk, instead of making butter, would
not represent more than 500 outlay.
But with careful supervision he ts able
to produce milk that shows remarkably
good results in the bacteriologtst'a
laboratory. And the results are the
more striking when, It Is known that
they are better than those being OBJ
tanned 1T some of our fancy dairy farms
Of which much has been printed in agrt-.
cultural papers.
The dairyman's secret is his inherent
dislike for dirt. His cows are thorough
" cleaned before milking, and their I'D
ders and the surrounding parts are
washed. The milk vessels are stertlized
by steam In a homemade wooden box
in which they are left after sterilization
until time for use. Milk is not cooled'or
aerated before bottling, but it Is prompt
ly put into the glass Jars by pouring
from can held in the hands. After BE-
ing sealed, the jars are covered with ice,
and remain this way until they reach
the New York market. Great care is
taken to keep the stable where. milk Is
exposed free from dust. This means
that hay is not fed until after milking,
and such dusty work as threshing is
carried on at some distance from the
barn. Tie labor bill is increased be-
cause his men have to wear sterile suits
and it takes more labor to keep every
thing absolutely clean than when "lick
and q, promise" is considered sufficient.
But this Increased cost of labor is more
than made up by the increased price for
which milk is sold. It is not surprising
to hear that he is unable to produce as
much milk as Is called for.
