WATER TANK IN SUMMER.
What II Should Be to Pr1vide Pure
Water to Stock.

To furnish pure, wholesome milk
the dairy herd must have pure water
Few farmers in the prairie districts
are favored with spring water or clear
running streams. On many farms
there are sloughs in the pasture
where surface water settles. but the
cows ought not to be compelled to
drink it. Sometimes il ii is long
way to the tank they prefer to drink
from the slough rather than take the
long walk to the barnyard, but in gen.
eral my cows will come up to the
tank once or twice during the day to
drink the cool, pure water they al.
ways find there.
My tank, says this correspondent of
the Orange Judd Farmer, is round
one, 20 inches deep and eight feet in
diameter, holding about As barrels
This holds an ample supply for my
IL head of stock, even when the wind
is capricious, and i am never com.
PEELED to pump by hand if am watch
ful of weather conditions. My water
supply is from a well near the house,
l4O feet in the rock with windmill
to do the pumping. The water runs
through underground pipes to the wa,
ter tank The water is at AZ degrees
when 1t comes from the we'll and 1t
never gets much above 62 degrees in
the tank. / keep a board cover on il
with only a 2y2-foot opening for the
use of the stock. In winter | bank
with manure and cover with chaff and
straw. / aim to keep the tank full at
all times if wind is favorable.
| am not troubled with slime or
green growth in the tank, for | keep
about IL small fish in it constantly.
The present occupants are bass, bull
heads and club. and they have been
in the tank over two years Before
Keeping fish, my tank would get foul
and 1t was difficult to empty it, but
now | have no trouble and the water
is as clear as a spring. There were
two low places in my pasture where
water could stand, but / ditched to
them and now no water accumulates
in the pasture, so have no pond holes
with accompanying mud and filth.
Recently on a drive through the
country | saw a dairy herd just plas-
tered with mud from standing in
dirty slough fighting flies. ! did not
envy the dairyman who would go to
his chores after a hard days work
in the field to find that he must wash
every COW before milking. Every
farmer should provide an ample sup
ply of cool, pure water for his herd
and so drain his pasture that no other
could be obtained.

Milk Cooler Parts.

some plan on the homemade idea
Take box, says the Indianapolis Sem
tinel, which may be bought at any
store for low price, high enough to
contain a barrel of good dimensions
Fill in the bottom of the box several
inches deep with sawdust, and on this
set barrel cut down so that when q
milk can is set into it it will come
just below the level of the top of the
barrel Around this barrel, eight
inches deep, pack sawdust. Set the
can of milk in the barrel and pour in
cold water and, if possible, add sew
eral large pieces of ice. Arrange a
faucet which shall run through the
barrel and the box so that the water
may be drawn off when it gets warm
The illustration shows the idea plain
ly. In the small drawings at the bot
tom IN" represents the box, 81" the
barrel and "A" the can of milk, and
in the drawing to the left, &c" shows
how the faucet is placed near the bot
tom of the box. Anyone can readily
make this milk cooler at small ex-
pense.

MANAGEMENT OF MILK.
The Rules Which Should Govern in
the Dairy to Insure Pure Product.

Hoard's Dairyman says that the es-
sential matters in the management of
milk are comprehended in the two
words-cleanliness and cooling.
Milk should be drawn from clean
COWS in clean place, into clean pals
and stored in clean cans.
Milk pals and cans should be cleaned
every time they are used, and scalded
at least once every day. To do this
successfully, first rinse in cold or mod
erately warm water, then wash in hot
water, using a brush and not a cloth,
and then scald with boiling water and
let them dry without wiping. Store
place away from dust, and prefer
ably where air and sunlight can reach
them.
Brush udder and TANKS of COWS be-
fore milking and if necessary slightly
dampen these parts to prevent dirt
and hairs falling into the pail.
Strain the milk into cans, and If
cloth strainers are used, have them
washed first in warm water and then
boiled again before used a second
time.
Do not leave cans of milk In sta
BILE, but remove to a clean, cool place;
leave cover partly off or cover with
thin muslin so that heat may pass off.
Set cans in cold water when possible,
and stir two or three times so that
cooling may be uniform.
Do not mix warm milk with the
cooled milk.
Do not stir up manure or litter or
hay just before milking.
1t is also desirable, and in the long
run economical, regard being had to
the life and appearance of the cans,
ito cover them with a blanket or can
lvas while in transit from farm to
factory.

KILLING THE MILK WEED.
How One Farmer Successfully Eradi
Gated IL from His Fields

With reference to method of ex.
terminating milk weed and morning
glory, will say that if ii Is the milk
weed that grows from the root as well
as from seed, and which has the seed
attached to down that scatters when
the wind blows, l can give the ex-
perience we had several years ago.
My father had a field badly infested
with such milk weeds and pea vines,
says a writer in Prairie Farmer, and
he sowed it to oats, cutting the oats
before the milk weed was ripe enough
for the seed to scatter. He plowed the
ground in August, when the ground
was dry, going just deep enough to
turn the runners and roots on the sur
face. These the sun soon dried so
that they could not sprout again.
He then sowed the field with wheat
and repeated the operation next Aug
ust. The pea vines were exterminated
and what milk weed was left we pulled
up by hand There was only an occa-
sional one or two and these we believe
came from seed blown from other
fields.

DAIRY NOTES.

Cows are often confused by the mum.
Der of sounds the mixer makes. Lit
tie talking should be done during the
milking time.
The cows who are taught to come
and go at a word save time, strength
and annoyance and sometimes avert a
disaster.
Many a well-bred heifer has been
ruined by lack of care and handling on
the part of the owner and feeder dur
ing the first year
The calves Of to-day are the mixers
of tomorrow. If these mixers are GO
ing to be up to par, special attention
must be given to their breeding and
care.
1t is possible to develop good milk
COWS from beef breeds because 1t has
been done, but it takes a long time. 1t
takes much shorter time to breed
them from dairy type.
The introduction of the blood of
breeds that naturally yield rich milk
will raise the test of native or scrub
herds as soon as the influence of those
breeds has chance to operate.

The Farm Ice House.

insures comfort and economy of food
during summer.
This house is IL feet wide. 16 feet
long and seven feet to the caves. 1t
is built of good lumber, and sided
with only one thickness. The door
in front is seldom used, since the ice
is put in and removed from the door
shown on the side.
Formerly the ice was packed in
sawdust, but as the supply became
scarce marsh hay has been substi-
tuted in part with success. Such a
house is cheaply made and if painted
is attractive. Put up with reasonable
care it will last for a generation with
very little repair If such a luxury
is to be enjoyed next summer, now is
the time when plans should be made
for building, so as to have everything
ready when the ice harvest comes
next winter.
