RICHNESS IN MILK.
Depends More on individuality
the Cow Than ON Feed.

Depends More ON Individuality of
the Cow Than ON Feed.
Some weeks ago, says Hoard's Dairy
man, we had occasion to dissent from
the conclusions announced In a bulle-
tin issued by the Pennsylvania expert
ment station wherein 1t was stated
that a modification of ration by sub
stituting five and one-half pounds of
dried distillers' grains for three pounds
of cottonseed meal and two and one
half pounds of cornmeal for q period
of four weeks resulted In decided
Increase in milk production and had
marked effect upon the richness Of the
milk, increasing its fat content very
noticeably." This effect was attribut-
ed to the somewhat high percentage of
fat In the grains.
The grounds for this dissent were
stated to be the brief period covered
by the experiment and the composition
of the ration to which the substitution
was applied, which was "hay, silage,
cornmeal and cottonseed meal" and it
was suggested that had bran been sub
stituted instead of distllers' grains
similar results might have followed
1t was also stated that eXperimenters
had heretofore succeeded In increas-
ing the per cent of fat in milk for
limited time by changing the compost
ton of the ration. but that as soon as
the COW became accustomed TO the
change the milk returned TO its normal
composition.
And now comes Professor ArmSby
and in a recent communication TO the
Jersey Bulletin practically acknowl-
edges the correctness of our criticism
We quote from that communication as
follows:
''As a rule. however, the effect-'in-
creasing the per cent of fats not
very great In our experiments with
dried distillers' grains the average per-
centage of fat In the milk was increas-
ed from 4.S9 to SOB, or about third
Of per cent Moreover, several expert
mentors have noticed that while the ad-
dition OF fat to the feed increased the
fat percentage OF the milk at first the
effect was not permanent. Our own ex-
periments, not being directed especially
to this point were not continued long
enough to test this part Of the question.
II think we may safely say that
while il seems to have been shown that
the quality of the milk may be influ-
enced by the food in some cases 1t can
hardly be said to be controlled by 1t. |
The influences which are potent in de-
termining the richness of milk are the
breed and individuality Of the COW and
the stage Of lactation. Any effects
which can be produced by changes in
the feeding are relatively minor ones
and cut a very small figure economic

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 Pront 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 1t is
best to pour quart or so of hot water
through the machine just as 1t is start
ed. This will warm up the machine
and prevent the milk sticking, as 1t
would If cold.
Order Is the First Law.
Many dairymen always keep the
same COW In the same stall, have the
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 pisces and holding
1t too long before delivery at the cream
cry.
Skim After Each Milking.
Skim the milk Immediately after each
milking. as 1t Is more work to save the
milk and separate once day and less
satisfactory than Swimming while the
milk Is warm, since the milk must be
heated again when saved until another
milking.
satfsfaction In Rich Cream.
A rich cream testing 80 per cent fat
or more Is the most satisfactory to
both farmer and factory. The best sep
arators will skim rich cream as effi-
GENTLY as a thin cream, and more skim
milk IL left on the farm when 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
end will remain 20 II kept chilled.
Dacteria Keep Busy.
TO cool the cream quickly and thor
oughly Just a. SOON as the separating
b finished Il Of more importance than
anything else At that particular time.

skim milk, but bacteria In the cream

THE OvERRUN.
Calcwlating Payments For the Pa
trons of Creameries.

CalcwlatfnG Payments For the Pa
trons of Creameries.
One patron brings milk to the cream
cry. where II Is tested and separated
He then takes away the skim milk con-
tanning a certain amount of butter fat
which 1t is impossible to remove by the
separator. Nevertheless he Is credited
with the whole amount of butter fat in
the whole milk, although he carries
away In the skim milk probably 3 per
cent OF what he brings. Another patron
brings cream to the creamery, where
the amount of butter fat it contains Is
also determined In this case the pa
tron receives no skim milk and hence
takes no butter fat. 1t Is all used by
the creamery.
In recent bulletin of the Vermont
station ]. l.. Hills, discussing this sub
ject. says that butter weighs consider
ably more than the butter fat in the
milk or cream from which it Is made.
The difference, known as the surplus or
overrun, is greater in creameries receiv-
ng only cream from patrons than in
creamerieS receiving only mix. Ac-
cording to Professor Hills, "a great
deal of careful comparison has shown
that in the long run the excess of sur
plus arising from the making of butter
from the average gathered hand sepa-
rated cream as compared with the
manufacture of butter from average
delivered milk approximates 3 per cent.
One method of calculating payments
given on the Vermont bulletin is based
upon the division of the surplus so thai
the cream patron shall receive 3 N1'
cent more than the milk patron. { -

very promising heifers and heifer
calves.
His present weight is LAO pounds,
and In this respect as well as in dairy
potency he is a good representation of
the recent and present trend among
American Jersey breeders for greater
size.
His breeding also tends to confirm
the theory that the male inherits from
the dam and the female from the sire.
Thus Hector Marigold inherits his abil-
ity as dairy sire from his grandam,
the famous Melia Ann. through her
equally famous son, Melia AIMS Son,
and his great-grandam, Ida Marigold,

worse than a slot machine. The farmer

a blood sucker, parasite, living on the

Of what they should have. She is pro-
tected by the general average produc-
ton of the herd and brought to light
only when the scales and Babcock test

Feeding the Milk Maker

For the average COW, weighing about
1000 pounds, eighteen pounds of al
falfa hay and eight pounds Of corn is
a complete balanced ration, says G. w.
Meleck In Kimbalrs Dairy Farmer. 1t
only lacks one ingredient during the
time Of the year when cows cannot
obtain grass or other succulent feed.
This ingredient is corn silage or roots
and tubers. Succulent feeds stimu-
late the appetite and juices of the di-
gestive system, help digest other food
eaten with them, have a cooling and
laxative effect on the system and are
relished by cattle such as delicacies
are by human beings.
In Line of Progress.
The farmer who knows nothing of
balanced rations and who will not in
form himself should seek. safety and
the welfare of his stock in providing a
variety OF feeds. This may be but a
blind way to progress, but better this
than no progress.--Farm and Ranch.
Success In Feeding.
The most successful feeders are the
men whose judgment Is so keen and OBJ
servation so close that they can feed
the animals In their charge close up to
the limit Of what they viii eat and yet
