Increase of Milk Fat.

A bulletin from the agricultural ex'
pertinent station of Cornell university
describes experiments carried out on
ten cows to ascertain whether the fat
In milk could be increased by liberal
feeding, mixtures Of such foods as cot
tonseed meal. wheat bran, gluten feed,
buckwheat middlings and linseed meal
being given. as much as the animals
would consume readily, In most cases
twelve pounds per COW per day. which
one cow exceeded The summary Of
conclusions is that in herd of poorly
fed cows an abundant ration easily di-
gestible and rather heterogeneous In char
acter continued through two years re-
suited In an average increase Of one
fourth Of / per cent of fat in the milk,
which was about 8 per cent Of Increase
on the quantity given. This was ac-
companied by an increase OF about so
per cent In total amount Of milk and
fat produced, and the increased produc.
ton was secured economically.

Dairy Farmer. This Ia far from thor

The millions Of undesirable bacteria

In the separator bowl spoil all the milk
to q greater or lesser degree that
passes through the machine. Every
part of a separator should be thor
oughly washed each time after using.
Some good washing powder should be
dissolved In the water used. Scald or

A very noticeable feature In the i'm
provement OF dairy barns In the mid
die west Is that Of arranging for the
keep Of dairy cows In large sheds In
stead of stalls, as has been the custom
everywhere among up to date dairy
men, writes w. w. Stevens In Ameri-
can Cultivator. The shed plan seems
to be giving the greatest satisfaction
among those who have adopted 1t. and
none of them seems at all inclined to go
back to the old method of handling the
dairy herd. We notice, In fact. that
majority of the dairy barns that are
being built now have the covered barn
yard. with milking stalls attached.
The care Of the COW IL matter Of
greatest Importance when she is ex-
pected to bring in the most profitable
returns. To have her do her very best
she must have an abundance Of fresh
air and light as much comfort as pos
sible and a reasonable amount of ex-
ercise. not alone for humane reasons,
but that she may produce the most
that she as an individual is capable Of
on the food supplied. The common
practice of keeping cows shut up in .
tightly closed stable. cramped ON q
platform with their heads fast in rigid
stanchions for nearly twenty-four
hours day for six or eight months In
the year. II going to be given up for
improved and better plans.
The advantages Of keeping cows In
this way over ordinary stabling may
be summarized as follows: Cows keep
much cleaner and the milking stalls are
In a more sanitary condition; conse-
quently It Is easier to produce clean
milk. BY this method there Is less
difficulty in providing cows with an
abundance Of fresh air, and they are
more vigorous and healthy and have
better appetites than when kept in the
stable. Labor Ii saved, as the shed can
DO bedded much more easily and quick
ly than can stalls. There Is little sta
BILE cleaning to be done, and the manure
Is hauled directly from the shed to
the field at any time most convenient
and when least damage Is done the
land by tramping.

In the general purpose animal idea
'the wish Is father to the thought" Men
want the general purpose COW because
she would be so handy and profitable.
l will admit 1t would be a very attrac-
tive addition to the herd, at one barn
at least, II could have half hundred
Jerseys displaced by cows that would
eat no more per capita and give as
much or more milk that would test as
much or more at the creamery. Each
year or oftener each would give me a
big calf that could be started right or
on short cut to profitable market as
baby beef, and when each ones own
life milking fever was over or going
into a decline she would offer UP her
carcass on the altar Of her final general
purposeness. as prime. market topping
beef.
I guess Byron was thinking Of the
dairyman with the general purpose
hope In his heart when he said:
"There comes forever something be-
tween us and what we deem our hap
piness."
The general purpose cow as fixed,
breedible fact would make us happy.
with gospel measure Of dairy happi-
ness. But the thing that comes be-
tween is the fact that we can't get her.

CHEESE SHOWING CRACKING AT EDGE
tank. When placed therein the cheese
does not seem to absorb salt I'm the usual
way. The first most evident symptom
Of trouble usually appears when the
cheese has been on the shelves for a
week or so. The edge Of the cheese
cracks or opens, generally near the juno
ton of the top or bottom and the side.
See first cut. This split continues to
increase in length, running around the
circumference Of the cheese, and In Sc
we're cases the interior of tie curd may
be forced out through this crack.
In the second cut this stretching Of
the plastic curd toward this opening Is
well shown. This is, of course, due to
the pressure of gas within the cheese.
The texture is rubbery or leathery and
shows gas holes, always more nuner-
GUS than are to be found In a normal
No. / Swiss. In all cases the flavor Is
decidedly of" disagreeable, sweet
taste being observed. The affected
cheese is also usually or in color.
Investigation showed that the abnor-
NAL fermentation was due to the pres
ence of yeast cells which in some un-
known way had gained access to the
milk and passed into the cheese.
The Wisconsin authorities say: ''The
quicker the whey can be delivered to
the farmers the less likely are troubles
Of this sort to develop. Dangers from
this source would be entirely eliminat-

Breeding Is of the utmost Importance.
but 80 Is the Individual excellence and
strength which will enable the bull to
transmit the good qualities of his an
cestry and so show his prepotency In
his offspring. Perhaps some one who
has been writing breeders for prices
says he cannot afford to pay for a bull
to use on his dairy herd. But 1t seems
to me the question is how can he af-
ford not to buy and to go on In the old
way. Suppose grade COW sired by a
pure bred bull gives but one pound per
milking more than her dam, an amount
so small that the mixer could not no
tice he had 1t without the scales; In the
800 days Of the milking season. or GOO
milkings, she will give 600 pounds Of
milk, worth at the very lowest rs cents
per 100 pounds, or $3.50 for the sea-
son. But good dairy cow Is MIXED
eight seasons, and that would be $50
for the one COW, and II the bull got but
ten such 1t would have earned Its own
er $500. But good bull will do three
times as well as this and make three
times the money for its owner.-M. II.

Dairy Wisdom In Brief

1t was a great invention that was
given to the dairy world when the
Babcock tester was discovered. The
influence which 1t has exercised upon
the dairy industry would not be easy
to estimate. There Is another tester
wanted, however, that has not been
invented yet 1t Is some instrument
that will readily tell the amount Of
filth in the milk. Is 1t impossible to
invent such an instrument? Orange
Judd Farmer.
Solder Is Cheap and Clean.
Plug up the holes In your milk pals,
but don't do ii with old rags. Solder
Is cheap and clean.
No Corners In Model Barn.
Rev. Mr.. DIETRICH. the model farm
err" has no corners" In his dairy barns
at least no square corners. All right
angle joints are made slightly coneave,
so that dirt and germs will find no
lodging place, and, as Mr., DIETRICH says,
ut is far easier to clean a round than
a square corner"
BEDDING For Cows.
While bedding material for cows
should be as free as possible from
dust and dirt that might get into the
milk and should not irritate the skin
Of the animals, two other important
requirements are the keeping Of ami
mails clean and the power of absorb
ing liquid manure.
The Best Milking Machine.
They say they have a milking ma
chine at last that will do the work,
but. like the flying machine, 1t will be
some time before 1t is In common use.
The farm boy or girl growing up with
out knowing how to milk II missing
valuable part Of his education. Milk
ing is not disagreeable work when all
the conditions are right Have the
conditions right and start the boys and
girls early. No milking machine can
ever come up to a good, faithful boy,
and good girl Is just little better.
says Kimball's Dairy Farmer.
Care of the Youngsters.
Give the calves the sunniest. warm
est corner In the barn.
1t Is best to keep the youngsters In
loose boxes. so they will have plenty Of
exercise. They should be handled and
taught to lead.
II calves are dropped and the sta
bles are not very warm a small blanket
should be fitted to each one. These
may be made from pieces Of old wool
blankets, and the straps or strings can
be let out as the youngster grows.
The young stock should be given
plenty Of good bright hay and some
bran and middlings to keep them grow
ing ana make good bone.-Farm Jour

TUBERCULOSIS AGAIN.

strength TO Mankfn
At recent meeting OF city organ.
ization an instructor In bacteriology
delivered an address on tuberculosis, by
which the impression was left that
milk is a dangerous food. though he
declared that germs Of tuberculosis are
everywhere and that probably every
man In the audience had them In his
body, perhaps In sufficient quantity to
say that he had tuberculosis In passive
form. And here is the danger that lies
In the discussion Of this question from
one side only. The public gets wrong
Impressions because II has not complete
Information. Bovine and human tuber-
culosis may be identical. and an occa
sional COW may put some germs OF tn
berculosis in milk, but there is far less
danger from milk than from air. not
only because there are fewer such
germs In milk than In air. but because
In milk they do not directly reach the
part Of the human body most liable to
infection. as they do In air. Besides,
city milk IL very largely sterlized and
20 made safer than air. But supposing
things were even between milk and air
two parallel questions would arise: Are
we to stop breathingf Are we to stop
using milk! We may state as gen.
eral truth that the COW L. a great
source Of health and strength to hui

The public should be impressed with
the fact that dairy products are gener-
ally health giving and always SO when
properly handled.-National Stockman.
