Mitchell has been operating for tho

Mitchell was sent to the pcntenliary

ROPY AND BITTER MILK.
Both These Conditions Are Usually
Caused by Bacterin.

Caused by BAcfer1n.
A ropy milk is not always caused by
bacteria, but it may come from the
animal suffering from certain diseases,
particularly garget. In the majority
Of cases the trouble is due to the de-
velopment of bacteria subsequent to
the milking, says Hoard's Dairyman.
The cause Of ropy milk can be traced
to several species of bacteria, but the
one that is the most troublesome in
the United States can be traced to an
organism that is an inhabitant of wa
ter. 1t has been found living and
growing in the water used for wash
ing the milk vessels or for submerg
ing them to cool the milk Through
such a source of contamination the
bacillus gets into the milk. The
trouble can usually be removed by
thoroughly scalding the milk utensils
and water tanks in which the water
stands for the cooling of milk
Bitter milk is due to several causes
Cows produce bitter milk after eating
certain foods, like ragweed and lupine.
Perhaps these weeds have bacteria on
their leaves and stems, which get on
the cows udders and fall into the
milk at the time Of milking, and the
eating of the weeds does not cause the
bitter taste in milk. Some cows pro
duce bitter milk when well along III
the period of lactation, and certain I'D
der diseases render the milk bitter. AS
a rule, bitter milk is caused by the
growth of bacteria which have resist
ed the heat Of sterilization. It is no
easy matter to destroy the bacteria
that cause bitter favored milk. Just
before milking the cows udders should
be washed in a 2 per cent solution Of
soda and the milk duct with 3 per
cent solution Of boracic acid
Sometimes milk develops bitter
taste by keeping it too long at very
low temperature In such cases the
milk should not be cooled quite soslow
in temperature and consumed more
quickly. While heat fails to destroy
the spores of these bacteria, vet all the
milking vessels should be thoroughly
scalded whenever a dairy is infected
with these germs.

QUALITY OF CHEESE.


Eject of Various Green Forage Feeds
on Its Flavor.
The following IS the summary of bull
letin No. 115 published by the Wiscon-
sin experiment station, which shows
the effect on the flavor of cheese when
cows are fed certain kinds of green
forage
Rape, if fed in limited quantities to
milking cows. is likely to impart to the
milk faint which will be impaired to
the cheese and cannot be eliminated by
any art known to the cheesemaker at
the present time
Cheese made from rape fed milk pre-
sents both offensive doors and tastes.
The longer the period of feeding Is
extended the better quality of the
cheese produced with reference to fla
vor, indicating that the systems of the
cows producing the milk tended to CON
form to the peculiarities Of the feed
and thus eliminate at least a portion
Of the noxious fayors.
The flavor of the product from morn
ing's milk when the feeding was done
Immediately after milking was of de-
cidedly improved quality over that
from the evenings milk where the
feeding was done shortly before milk
ing.
The body, texture, color and general
makeup of the cheese are not affected
In any manner by the feeding Of rape
to milk cows for cheesemaking pur-
poses.
When cabbage was fed to milk cows
disagreeable fayors were always i'm
parted to the cheese, and these bad fla
vors were intensified as the ripening
advanced
Milk from cows fed exclusively upon
green clover produced cheese having a
low, fat favor, which finally became
sharp and repugnant.
Green forage corn when fed to cows
produced an excellent quality of milk
for cheese. The cheese was of fine tex
ture, with clean. high flavor at all
stages of the ripening.

MAKING THE RITUAL.
ssFounder" o. Fl. Kelley Relates Some
Of His Early Experiences.

-EOuHAeE'> " III N ex&cy ttGkAl&S some
Of His Early Experiences.
For over a year had been studiously
considering some plan of our organiza-
ton; then I took pen and paper to put
my ideas into tangible form. COM
menced with the plan of having all the
degree work done In a grove and having
its surroundings practically agricultur-
al from start to finish. first obtain
cd large engraving showing farm
house surrounded by grove of trees.
This was hung on the wall above my
writing table. Then, studying the pic
ture, I placed in imagination the pro-
posed officers, each under vine cover
ed arbor. The members I placed In
groups under the shade of the trees.
The glee club I had in costumes suit
able for the several degrees which were
to represent the four seasons; the or
chestra to accompany the singers was
to consist of two yiolins. a flute and
violoncello The space to be used for
degree work was to occupy little less
than an acre.
To pass from the master to the other
officers a nicely grayeled walk was to
be laid. Impress such picture upon
your minds if you can, only see it in
the beauty it was seen by me as l
studied it. You will be better able to
comprehend the work as we now do it
in our small halls and what the work
is intended to represent. Then drew
a ground plan and placed the officers

given up. We must adapt our work to

The Cows Pest weeks.

There is a great variation in the best
week of a cows lactation, in different
COWS and in the same COW. 1t has
been found that cows make their best
records during the first ten weeks OF
their lactation. and many cows make
their best record during the first month
after coming fresh Most cows give
their largest quantity of milk during
the third week and make the largest
butter production during the second
week. Cows seem to reach their high
est butter production before they reach
their largest flow of milk.

AROUND THE DAIRY

1t should be considered that the poor
est cows eat practically as much as
the best. This will hold true generally
A poor cow will eat as much as a good
COW. Also, while a good COW will re-
turn ten to twenty times as much profit
as the poor cow, she can be bought for
but very little more. Her price is out
of all proportion to her proftableness.
In short, the good COW Is a highly
profitable investment. The poorest
cows are kept at a positive loss.
Real vaIue of a Good Cow.
The real yaluo of fine milk COW
lies in her pedigree, her prepotent pow
er of heredity, that power that long
line of good ancestors gives her to pass
her good qualities along to her off
spring, so that great deal depends
upon the man as to whether he is wise
in the selection Of the kind of animal
for the work, and with the care and
feed there is nothing to hinder the
dairyman from being master of the
situation and having conditions favor
able to his ambitions
At CaIving Time.
Never allow COW to ealve in the
pasture The young thing IN such
cases partakes of the wild, and it is
never overcome, says Farm Journal.
If it is a heifer, it will never make a
perfectly docile COW. IF a bull, it will
be wild and vicious.
Training the Heifer.
Take your time about teaching the
heifer to milk. Lots of men are i'll too
big a hurry, and they expect too much
of the young cows anyway It has
taken most of us a good many years
to learn what we know. and there
are some things that we are not alto
gether posted on even now.
white specks In Butter.
Carelessness in warming cream is re
sponsible, for the white specks which
are sometimes found in the butter,
writes correspondent Of National
Stoclzman. If the cream becomes too
warm, it separates or s'wheys off, ex-
actly the same as sour milk does in
the process of making cottage cheese.
The sour milk becomes curd; then,
when the butter comes. this curd. IN
fine particles, is found Incorporated
with tia very annoying state of af-
fairs, and all owing to carelessness,
When this is allowed to occur, the only
thing to do is to strain the cream be-
fore churning.
Need Of Cooling Milk.
Decomposition commences in milk,
f allowed to retain It's natural heat,
coon after it is drawn from the COW.
Poor Cows Are Dear at Any Price.
It is no sacrifice to pay a big price
for cow II you are sure Of getting
big money back again. Where the loss
comes in is In buying poor COW just
because she Is cheap. The poorest
thing man can have on the farm is

HINTS ON FEEDING

Not much comes from the udder of
COW that is not first put into her
mouth To own well bred dairy COW
with perfect form and every appear
anee of great producer does not
mean that she will produce well with
out the best of feed and care. Breed
ing in the dairy COW enables her to
make better use Of the raw material
given her. The good COW well fed
and managed will usually pay as much
profit as two or three common cows,
and in some cases 1t has been found
one COW yielded as much actual profit
as was obtained from ten others in
the herd
Roots as Dairy Feed.
In our corn raising states compare
lively little attention is paid to the
feeding of roots. European and many
Canadian farmers make much Of them
as feed for cattle Roots are less
desirable for the feeding steer than
for the dairy COW. as they tend to form
more watery carcass. This is not
so detrimental TO the dairy COW, as
good results from their feeding In Jer-
sey and England attest.
Feeding Grain with Pasture.
Experiments at the New York sta
ton show that the benefits of feeding
the grain We're not all realized the sea-
son in which it was fed, but that it
rendered the animals capable of great
er production the following season. 1t
also shows that for each pound of
grain fed an extra pound Of milk was
secured. Knowing the value of each,
we can easily compute whether the
feeding of grain was or was not a
paying practice. The experimenters
estimated that the feeding Of grain
when pasture is good is neither a pay
ing nor losing Investment, but that
| it would pay if the pasture We're poor.
Feeding the Calves.
Do not put the calves in pasture to
be tortured by flies and to suffer from
the hot sun The proper place is a
roomy, airy box stall with the windows
slightly darkened during the heat Of
the day Give fresh lot of early cut
clover hay every day, and remove any
that is not eaten before more is put in.
| When calves are kept in the stable,
they should be given now and then a
piece Of sod with the earth attached.

! Two or Three Meals For Cows.

was conducted in England to find out
whether 1t would be more profitable

Der of cows We're given two meals q

but the most ordinary cows, and by
simply breeding to dairy sires of ex-

No matter how skilled we may be in

BAN AGAINST DANCING.

to Subordinate Oranges.

Maine State Grange Issues an Ed1ct
to Subordinate Oranges
The question of dancing has troubled
more than one grange in the United
States. Evidently it has been pretty
thoroughly discussed, pro and con, In
Maine oranges, or the executive COM
mittee of the state grange would not
have found it necessary to issue the
following edict to all subordinate
oranges in the Pine Tree State:
TO the Officers and Members Of the Sub
ordinate Oranges of Maine:
Whereas, By reason of continuous COM
plants to US and local dissensions that
are aroused in consequence of the practice
Of many oranges of dancing In connection
with their grange meetings. resulting in
corresponding decrease OF interest in real
grange work, the executive committee Of
the Maine state grange, by virtue of the
authority vested In them. chapter 5, sec
ton /. article of the Digest. and in the
interests of harmony and good fellowship,
thereby prohibit dancing at or in con-
nection with any and all grange meetings
when the grange Is opened in form The
master Of each grange will be required to
enforce this law.
From the wording of the above we
infer that the prohibition is against
dancing only when it is carried OH
while the grange is in session, mas
much as it says when the grange is
opened in FORM That it prohibits
dancing in the grange hall after the
grange has closed we do not under
stand And, on the other hand, we do
not see where it could be introduced
when the grange is in session except
during the lecturers hour The Lewis
ton Journal, which gives much atten-
ton to grange matters in Maine, re-
marks that this edict is s'the most inn
portant transaction in connection with
the grange for many day. There can
be no question that this matter Of
grange dancing has caused more trou
Bile among the oranges over our state
than all other causes combined. Church
people and others who are averse to
that form Of amusement have looked
askance at the grange for this reason.
and the matter has been a growing
source of discomfort. The state execu-
tive committee have now taken the bull
by the horns, and they have done it
we'll No more timely action was ever
taken, and from now on there will be I
an improvement among the oranges all
over the state. 1t will be noticed that
this order applies to every grange in
