Milk and Butter Notes

When milk is separated at the farm
Immediately after milking the cleanest
and sweetest cream possible ought to
be obtained. 1t certainly should be bet
ter than that skinned by factory
separator from milk which is two to
twenty hours old.
Keep the Profit Yourself.
If you make butter to sell make good
butter. Don't let the renovating facto
ries get the profits which belong to you
Warm the Separator.
In operating the separator in weather
when the bowl and parts are cold, it is
oest to pour quart or SO of hot water
through the machine just as it is start
ed. This will warm up the machine
and prevent the milk sticking, as it
would if cold
Order Is the First Law.
Many dairymen always keep the
same cow in the same STALL have the
same milker milk the same COW each
time and milk the cows in the same or
der.
Usual Causes of Poor Butter.
Harrington of Wisconsin finds that
the usual causes Of defective butter
from gathered cream are keeping the
cream in unsuitable places and holding
it too long before delivery at the cream
cry.
Skim After Each Milking.
Skim the milk Immediately after each
milking, as it is more work to save the
milk and separate once day and less
satisfactory than skimming while the
milk is warm, since the milk must be
heated again when saved until another
milking.
Satisfa ction In Rich Cream.
A rich cream testing 35 per cent fat
or more is the most satisfactory to
both farmer and factory. The best sep,
arators will skim a rich cream as eff
ciently as a thin cream, and more skim
milk is left on the farm when a rich
cream is sold.
Poor Mixing.
Warm cream should never be mixed
with cold. The result of mixing is al
ways quick souring. The bacteria In
cold cream are dormant or inactive
and will remain so If kept chilled.
Bacteria Keep Busy.
To cool the cream quickly and thor
oughly lust as soon as the separating
is finished is of more Importance than
anything else at that particular time.
The pigs and calves can wait for their
skim milk, but bacteria In the cream
wait for nothing. until the temperature
favorable to their growth is reduced.
Butter sticking to Utensils.
The sickness Of butter utensils
made Of wood may be avoided by
washing we'll in very hot, clear water
and securing well with salt, says q
Rural New Yorker correspondent.

THE advantage of having a
of congress who is able
to accomplish something in the
way of legislation, was very
clearly illustrated a few years
ago in a matter in which many
of the people of Grant county
were directly and deeply inter
ested. We refer to the enact
ment of the free home bill,
which secured to the settlers on
what was known as the reserva.
tion townships in Grant and
Roberts county a remittance of
the pay ment of the amount de-
manded by the government for
the lands upon which the set
tiers had filed and were making
into homes. Several years of
bad crops, destruction from
hail and other disasters and diff
1iculties peculiar to the settle
ment of new country had plac-
ed many of the homesteaders in
such q financial condition that
they were absolutely certain
s0ener or later to lose their
homes. While this condition of
things was we'll known here, it
looked like a hopeless task to get
congress to grant the relief
sought in the free homes bill.
Many of the congressman aud
senators were determined to
make q bitter fight against the
proposed Legislation, and it was
largely through the untiring
persistency and watchful care of
our congressman that the bill
became q law. In the success
ful issue to which it was brought
Congressman Charles H. Burke,
was one of the most important
factors, and to his energy. tact
and his high personal standing
in the house the passage of the
measure was largely due. The
enactment IF the free homes bill
very forcibly presented the fact
that when you need q congress
man you need him badly, and
that the need is for one who can
accomplish things. Certainly
the settlers on the eservation
lands found this true, and they
also found what they wanted in

of all property is as high in

ia, according to value and in
some instances higher, and when
you apply their extra high levy
it makes the taxes there much
higher than here. For instance,
we will take Cass county, a coun-
ty where land sold three years
ago for one. half the price of
Grant county land and compare.
The average assessment OF
lands in Cass county is s. 90 per

rate of IS mills makes the tax
$4O.82. While the average in

You ask why taxes are high!
l will give you some reasons
) First, we are paying 334 per
cent more to maintain our
schools than we were three
years ago, when the wages OF
> teachers we're from S25 to $40
per month, and material ano
? coal much cheaper. We are
building roads and bridges. We
; are paying off bonds. You
! tax payers of Milbank go to the
county auditor and see what g
small figure the state and county
tax cuts compared with your
2 other tax. The state and county
levy is 9 mills and your tota
levy is 54 mills outside of sewer
and sidewalk tax. You will find
{ local conditions govern taxes
more than the state.

tighten the public be honest
