will make it worth all it costs. The
creamery can easily get the figures and
it ought to give them to the patron,
for he needs them badly if he is to
know how he stands. Then one thing
more: At the end of the year report
what the best herd, second best, third
best, earned per COW, and below 1T give
each patron what his herd earned per
COW for the year. He will have to see
just how his herd compares with the
best in the creamery; that will stir
his wits as nothing else will. In the
way the creamery and cheese factory
business is managed now, there is no
practical knowledge going back to the
patron which will force him to see
how his way of handling his herd CON-
pares with others. 1t is because of a
lack of this comparative knowledge
that so many men keep on in a profit
less way, as they do. The creamery
or cheese factory is cooperative, but
it don't cooperate to give out the right
knowledge that will correct bad prac-
tice and stimulate the patron to do bet
ter. AS it is now, the patrons have no
chance to make these comparisons. A
small prize at the end of the year for
the 1st, 2nd 3rd best herds would do
still more to stimulate all concerned to
better efforts. We know of lots of
creamery men who will twist in all
sorts of ways to secure another patron
so as to get more milk 1t don't seem
to occur to them that it is worth while
to do anything to stimulate their old
patrons to better cows, better stables,
more Intelligent feeding methods and
finally more milk to the creamery and
more profit to the patron. Turn the
light on and let it shine awhile.
Some of the patrons who are weak
eyed may blink and kick 1;ttle, but
they cannot help steering themselves
more proftably because of it, We are
doing business in the dark altogether
too much.

The Dairyman and the Cow.

The most successful dairymen, while
recognizing the importance of breed
ing, are emphasizing more and more
the Importance of feeding and general
care of the COWS, says an exchange.
The dairyman must be in harmony
with the cow that is to say, he must
at all times make her feel at home and
satisfied with her surroundings. She
must not be excited from any cause
whatsoever. There should be few
changes in rations; that is to say, sud-
den changes. When COWS are dry, it is
unnecessary; in fact, in many cases it
is not advisable, to feed heavy grain
ration, as that would tend to the lay
ing on of flesh. When the pastures
begin to dry up in the fall succulent
food, such as fodder corn, sorghum or
green alfalfa, should be fed the COWS
regularly. Later on in the season en-
silage or root crops should take the
place of the grass or the green fodder,
and in that way the succulent part of
the ration should be continued from
one years end to the other.
In stating that there should be no
sudden changes in the grain ration we
do not wish tt leave the impression
that a COW Should be fed eight, ten,
twelve or fourteen pounds of grain
per day regularly, but rather that no
sudden changes should be made. She
should be fed an amount of grain in
accordance with the amount of milk
and butter fat produced. Every farmer
should know exactly what his grain
ration costs him, and to ascertain the
cost of a ration the grain should be
valued at current market prices. If
by experimenting it is found that ten
pounds of grain can be fed with great
err economy than twelve pounds, the
former is the amount that should be
fed If, on the other hand, the flow of
milk can be increased by increasing
the grain ration, the amount should
be raised so long as profitable returns
are obtained.

The Period of CESSATION.

During the past ten years observa-
lions on the period of CESSATION were
made on all COWS in the herd at Cor
nell University. The average number
of COWS has been about twenty, two
thirds Holstein and high grade Hol-
stein and one-third Jersey and high
grade Jersey, with few natives, mix
ed and crossbred cattle In all, 1914
observations were made. OF these, nine
terminated in the dropping of dead
calves prior to 253 days of pregnancy,
and three more were doubtful, so only
1872 were considered normal. The
average period of CESSATION was almost
exactly $50 days. The shortest time
was 264 days, the longest 296. Approx
imately equal numbers of births oc-

Creamery Factory Reports to Patrons

Prof. Carson recommends sending
out monthly letters to patrons, but
says in effect, that if they have the
same wording month after month the
patron loses interest in them. A great
many creamery men act as II the
patron was the last man in the world
they cared to do business with. There
is one method of doing business with
him, which, if adopted, we will guar
antee will keep his interest up to the
boiling point all the time.
Send a man out every month and
find from each patron just how many
COWS he is milking Then report to
him each month the total milk, the
amount per COW, the total net cash
and the cash earned per cow. That
will make him see his business from
the per cow standpoint. Figure it
out for him in detail. 1t will take a
little time, but its effect on the patron

THE DAIRY
Washing the Milk Vessels.

Speaking of the matter of washing
milk vessels Prof. H. e. Van Norman,
of the Pennsylvania state college, gives
the following suggestions:
AS soon as vessels are emptied, rinse
them with lukewarm water, IL avail
able; if not, cold water. Wash thor
oughly in water as warm as can be
comfortably worked in, using sufficient
alkaline washing powder to cut the
grease. Then rinse in boiling water,
or as near as possible 1t would be a
little better to use two waters, one
to rinse the alkaline water off and
the second to simply scald it. In ord
mary practical work, this is more
trouble than most people will take, so
that one rinsing with sufficient water
is reasonably satisfactory. This vessel
should then be turned up to drain and
dry. If left hot, it should dry without
rusting.
In dairy practice we recommend the
use of brush while washing, and
then not wiping the tinware with a
towel Experiments performed in our
laboratory with tinware which was
steamed and wiped with a towel that
had never been used, showed that
there were three and one-half times as
many bacteria left on the surface as
in the case where it was steamed on
ly; after wiping with a used towel,
one which any housewife or dairy
maid would call 'clean towel" there
were 300 times as many as when
steamed only; and after using soiled
towel, one which was not worse than
is commonly used in the kitchen for
dinner plates or dairy utensils, it
showed 1000 times as many as when
steamed only. 1t is true that tinware
scalded, when it is done with boiling
water or live steam, will be bacter
iologically cleaner but not so bright
as when polished with cloth.

ANOTHER STAR ADDED

President Roosevelt last Satur'
day put his signature to the state
hood bill admitting Oklahoma and
Indian Territories as one State
under the name of Oklahoma, with
Guthrie for the capital at present,
thus adding another star to che
American flag. The measure also
provides that Arizona and New
Mexico may be Admitted to state
hood, as the State of Arizona, pro-
vided that each territory votes
favorably on the proposition. And
the Presidents advice was for them
to do it.
The signing of the measure was
made the occasion of an interest
ing ceremony. In affixing his
signature to the bill, the President
used two pens, writing his fret
name, "Thsodore," with pen
made from gold of Arizona and
presented by the people Of thst
State, and his family name,

from an American segle in
Oklahoma.
