Licenses for Creamerjes,

We long have been confronted with
the difficulty of getting improvements
in the management of some of our
creameries. The matter of licensing
creameries has been under discussion
for long time, and the plan has the
approval of many of our most adj
vanced thinkers. When the cream
cries are licensed there is fund from
which to pay inspectors to see that
the law is complied with. We find that
most people that have thought along
this line are in favor of these licenses
and even the best creamery men favor
them for obvious reasons. It will drive
out of existence the poorest creamer-
les. This would be a help to the
creameries that are rightly conducted.
Butter is an article of diet that is
largely used and should be hea1tbful.
1t is for the public good that all other
be weeded out. When a creamery is
licensed it must show that it complies
with certain rules as to cleanliness.
and the burden Of proving that it is
a clean creamery is put upon the men
that own it. They cannot merely act
upon the defensive. Licensing cream.
cries will also result in a higher class

Stable Floors.

The question of stable floors is an
all-important one and has been much
discussed of late. The ideal stable
floor should be durable, comparatively
cheap, impervious to water, warm and
smooth enough to be readily cleaned,
yet not so smooth that animals will
easily slip on it. The floor that comes
nearest filling all of the requirements
for dairy barn is cement, and the
chief reason for this is because it is
sanitary and can be so easily cleaned.
Many of the best barns in the dairy
portion of Illinois are now being con-
structed with cement floors. A cement
floor is much more easily kept clean
il it is troweled smooth, but if this
is done there is great danger of the
COWS injuring themselves by slipping.
For this reason the portion of the floor
on which the cows walk should always
be left rough under the float Where
this is done, there is practically no diff
ficulty from the COWS slipping. The
chief objection to cement floor is,
that as cement is a good conductor of
heat, it is cold for the cows to lie on
in the winter, in a cold climate No
one denies that this is a serious objec-
ton, but COWS should always be
bedded heavily enough to absorb all
of the liquid manure that it may be re-
turned to the land If cows are heav-
lily bedded much of this objection to a
cement floor is obviated, but even
when bedded heavily and paying close
attention to keeping the bedding even
ly distributed under the COWS, they are
very apt to occasionally get all Of the
bedding pushed aside with their hind
feet so that a small portion of the
floor is entirely bare, and lie down
with their udders Immediately on this
bare floor, which is certainly objection
able with high-class COWS. After five
years experience in keeping our uni
versity herd on a cement floor. I am
convinced that the portion of the &C.
ment floor on which. the COWS stand
should be covered with wood laid in
asphalt. This makes the floor almost
as sanitary as an entire cement floor
and obViates entirely the difficulty of
having the cows stand directly upon
cement.
cement makes excellent watering
troughs and feeding floors, and when
properly constructed will last almost

A Years Record.

A great deal has been said about the
testing of COWS by weighing their milk
and afterwards testing it. Sometimes
in buying a COW man will milk her,
Test the milk and conclude that he
knows something about her. He does
know something, but that something
is very limited in amount. The weak
nesses OF some of the tests that have
been made recently is that they are
limited IN duration. Often a montn
VIII not show the real value of a farm
animal; nothing short Of a years test
under normal conditions will show the
real value of a COW This has been
fully demonstrated at our experiment
stations where dairy testing has been
carried on. Cows that have made won
derful records for the first month have
sometimes at the last of the wear
fallen far behind those that made a
poor showing during the first month.
The farmer in determining the value
OF his own COWS will have 20 make IN
his mind to continue the work for two
or three years. There are prominent
dairymen who have done this. They
have weighed and tested their milk
for enough years to give them exact
information on the value of their cows.
All improbable ones are disposed Of
and after some years of experiments
OF this kind the men found that they
could abandon the weighing and test
ing of milk, so far as their old COWS
were concerned. We advise a farmer
not to be too sure about the value of
a cow from his first testing. There
are some farmers, who, after a week.
have jumped at conclusions and have
disposed of COWS that were doubtless
Of value.
