THE FEEDER

Now that Scotch topped cattle have
become so fashionable 1t is interesting
to recall that the root crop is to the
Scotch farmer what the corn crop is
to the feeder In the American corn
belt. The Scotch feeders are SO ac-
customed to the use of swedes that
they can hardly believe that cattle can
be made fat during the winter season
on a ration which does not contain at
least half hundredwelght of them.
While they sometimes change the
roughage and concentrated feed In the
rations, they never leave. out the roots.
Liberal Feeding.
No man who does not profoundly be-
lieve in the doctrine Of feeding farm
animals literally should make invest
ment In pure bred stock of any kind.
Our principal breeds of live stock have
been built up by men taking advan-
tage of hereditary forces and by the
scientific use of feeding stuffs.-Kan-
sas Farmer.
Feeding by the Scales.
The stockman and feeder who knows
definitely when the limit for profit has
been reached without the aid of scales
when finishing stock for market is a
rarity. Even the most expert in esti-
mates will often find himself deceived
with unusual animals when the scales
are consulted. The most prevalent mis-
take made by haphazard feeders, and
one that results In tremendous losses
throughout the country, Is that of mar
keting stock few weeks too soon
just before they are properly finished.
Hogs In Summer.
Through the summer-May, June,
July and August-feed hogs but once
day, after the sun has gone down
that is, If you have a nice large pas
ture. After shutdown your chickens
have gone to roost and your hogs get
the corn. They sleep all night, get up
the next morning and go out in the
w. III. Beacham, Iowa.
Rape Ensilage.
II you have large quantity of rape
which cannot be fed and there Is doubt
that frost might come at any time, 1t
can be put In the silo. We have shown
that rape may be cut and put In the
silo either by Itself or with corn and an
excellent fodder produced, one which
Is exceedingly palatable; animals eat
1t with avidity, they relish it, not only
so, but II has more value than the pure
corn ensilage. l think 1t would prove
an excellent feed for steers or young
cattle. I do not advise 1t for milk
cows.-Dr. F. F. Shut. Canada.
Corn Hay.
Recent Investigations appear to show
very clearly that slower IL made under
the best conditions and handled ju-
dlciously will take the place of tim
othy hay to good advantage. Under
these conditions the timothy can be
sold to dealers In cities and to owners
Of livery stables at decided profit
and benefit to the farmer.

Flushing out the hand separator is
very deceptive business. 1t is a prac-
tice quite prevalent In many dairy COM
munities to thoroughly wash the sep
arator every morning after separating.

FOR THE PLAIN PEOPLE.
Sanitary MIX That May He vended
mt Moderate Cost.

What is to be done for the great
mass of people who cannot afford to
buy certified milk delivered in glass
jars at an advance price? The follow
ing scheme has been suggested to milk
producers by the health authorities OF
one city:
Make the milking pail, shipping can
and delivery can one vessel, holding
about fifteen quarts, with a small 81
inch opening and tight cover Milk
through sterilized cheesecloth strainer
directly into this can until 1t is full;
throw the strainers into pail; put
on the cover and sink the can In ice
water. This can is shipped by rail, or
carried on the peddler's wagon, and
used for delivery can.
This milking pail and cheesecloth
strainer must be sterilized by steam
or simply by putting the pail contain
Ing some water and strainers on the
stove to boil for FIVE minutes. A cool
Ing tank should be made so that 1t
overfiows at level just below the COW
er Of the can. This scheme ought to
materially lower the cost OF clean milk.
For the house peddling we offer one or
two suggestions: The usual method OF
using quart dipper or tightly closed
pail with spout that can be corked;
then the peddler turns the pail upside
down to mix the milk, removes the
cork and pours out the required amount
into the customers glass or tin quart
measure, the cleanliness Of which the
customer is responsible for.

milk producer should study them, size
up his herd by them and thus work out
the problem that meets him face to
face.
The question may come up. What is
the first step I must take to put my
herd on paying basis? Every dairy
man and farmer can better afford to
pay $500 head for the cows that
average 700 pounds Of butter per year,
provided he can find such cows, than
he can afford to pay SIS or $50 a
head for cows that average only 100 to
200 per year. This calculation ought
to make every farmer hesitate before
that range below 800 pounds of butter
per year, as many farmers have been
doing the past year. The average
cow is loser of money to every dairy
man and farmer. The testing and an
alyzing of milk at the present time are
SO easy and simple that any ordinary
farmer with a little practice can tell
In few minutes just what his cows
are capable of doing at the end of ev
cry month, and every COW that falls
below the 300 pound mark is not
worth her feed and keeping to her
owner and should be turned into beef.

Butter and Cheese

Within the last few years the custom
Of coating the cheese with an imper-
vious layer has been suggested, with
the object mainly Of preventing the
development Of mold. For this pur-
pose paraffin has been found to be the
most suitable agent The application
Of such a layer to the cheese not only
prevents the growth of mold spores by
excluding the air, but materially re-
tards the rate at which the cheese loses
its moisture Paraffined cheese, there
fore, dries out much more slowly than
the untreated product, and the appll-
cation Of this method Is of particular
service In the handling of the smaller
types of cheeses, which have a relative
~ larger superficial area exposed to the
air. BY covering the cheese with
be reduced several pounds per hundred
In comparative tests cheeses covered
with paraffin were entirely clear. while
the others were more or less heavily
coated with mold.
The Best Keeping Butter.
ments In the storage Of butter by the
dairy division of the national depart
ment Of agriculture Is that light salt
Ing and low temperatures and the use
Of cream received at the creamery In
q sweet condition give much the best
results for storage butter. Other
points Of interest are that butter In full
cans and tubs at the lower tempera-
lures scored about the same. At the
higher temperatures there was slight
difference In favor Of cans Butter In
full cans kept better than that In cans
only partially full. On the whole, but
ter held at the lowest temperature kept
removal from storage. Butter made
from cream received sweet kept well
while stored at the lower temperatures
and also after removal from storage,
giving results wholly satisfactory. But
ter made from cream received sour
also kept well at the lower tempera-
lures, but deteriorated rapidly after
removal from storage, giving, on the
whole, results which were very unsatis-
factory.
Butter From sweet Cream.
Butter Of better quality, though not
quite so much In quantity, was pro-
duced from sweet cream than from
ripened cream in some recent Ontario
tests.
OverchurninR.
When butter has gathered stop
churning. Butter is frequently spoiled
by churning too long. Drain or the
buttermilk and ill the churn half full
Of cold water, reyolve churn about
four or five times or work with dasher
In proportion. then remove the water

Quantity and Butter Fat.

With reference to quantity it would
be correct to say that among the strict
ly dairy breeds Holsteins rank first,
Ayrshires second, Guernseys third and
Jerseys fourth. If there is difference
in the quantity of the production from
Guernseys it is caused by the large
relative size Of the Guernseys. With
reference to butter fat in the milk Jer-
seys stand first-that is to say II there
Is any difference in the richness of Jer-
sey and Guernsey milk-Ayrshires
come third and Holsteins fourth. The
same differences obtain between the
high grades of the breeds of all these,
but not quite to the same extent

summer comfort For Calves.

Calves will do better IL kept In clean,
airy box stalls during the summer
than If allowed to run out and fight
flies in the hot sun. They should be
given a drink of water at noon and
should have access to salt at will.
They should also have some grass or
1yeen oats cut and given them every
day. They should not be given very
much at a time. not more than they
will eat up clean before the next time
Of feeding.

Colt shows,

We used to hear of colt shows, but
they are becoming scarce. They stimu-
late competition among farmers to see
who can raise the best stock. And
there Is something of a social feature
connected with them too These shows
are sometimes worked up by owners
of stations. The men invite their pa
irons to bring their colts together, and
judges are appointed to award prizes
to the best animals. A lot Of well to do
farmers with well kept teams, accom-
panied by inqulsitive, bright eyed little
colts. make an attractive showing. The

an interest In this. Picnic dinners may
