The cause and treatment for cream
which becomes strong and foamy We're
discussed recently by Professor E. S.
Guthrie Of the Chic State university as
follows: The cause of the cream be-
coming strong Gcd foamy is most likely
due to abnormal fermentation. In or
der to determine the source of the bac-
terra, l suggest that the patrons thor
oUshly cleanse jar for each cow by
scaIGing the Jar in boiling water. Label
milking pour about pint of each
cows milk into her particular jar
From these samples the patrons may
determine whether the trouble comes
from the entire herd. Set these sam
plies away where they may have the
same temperature at which the cream
has been souring In about twenty
four hours examine them by tasting and
smelling. II the strong favor or the
foanly condition is found in one or two
of the samples cut out the milk from
these cows for a few cilurnings. If all
the samples seem to be about the same
look out for mud hole or for some
other source of filth and remove the
cause. If the trouble lies with but. one
or two individuals make a careful ex-
animation for a cause of the contamina-
ton and remove the cause.

ever, a little way up from the bottom,
The joining of the pieces must be
very neatly done, and you can shade

the markings of melon. Draw some

of little black muslin pasted on; this,
of course, being done before the leaf

Milking Cows Clean.
1t is well known that the average
mixer gets less milk than he who does
a thorough job; that incomplete milk
ing means not only direct, but indirect
loss, not only an immediate lessening
of the fat yield, but tends toward dry
ing the COW. A Danish scientist has
recently developed special system of
udder manipulation, a sort of massage
of the mammary gland, as it were,
which, it is claimed, augments the
flow. The Hegelund method, as it is
called, involves three manipulations,
each thrice repeated or until no more
milk is obtained. First, the pressure
Of the quarter on eaaa side against
each other thrice repeated, followed by
removal of the milk; second, the pres
sure of the glands together on each
side, the fore quarter being first manip-
ulated and then the hind quarters, fol-
lowed by removal of the milk, and,
third, the fore quarters are pressed be-
tween hand and body, the hands hold
ing the teats loosely, then the hind
quarters also, followed by milking.
Trials of the scheme made at the
Wisconsin and New York stations af-
forded a daily average increase per
COW Of a pound of milk and two
ounces of butter. The after milk was
very rich in fat, testing above 10 per
cent. This after milking takes not to
exceed five minutes time, often only
two or three minutes. The two ounces
of butter may be held at low esti-
mate to be worth cents. This would
be a fair pay for five minutes work,
"a cents an hour, and the skim milk
thrown in. Not only are more milk and
butter made, but the secretion is stim-
ulated and the lactation period pro-
longed. 1t may be remarked, however,
that the differences in milk and butter
yields between this method and care
fnl stripping are not great. This Dan
iSh method, says Professor Hills of the
Vermont experiment station, empha-
sizes more perhaps than has hitherto
been done the actual and potential
losses due to incomplete milking

The sun is setting earlier every day
and rising later. The stables are dark
a greater part Of the twenty-four
hours. A coat of whitewash will do
much to brighten things up. It will
not take the place Of sunlight, but 1t
will make what sunlight there is go
good deal farther. 1t also has whole
some effect On the air Of the barn. Es-
pecially where dairy cattle are con-
fined through the winter months will
whitewash be beneficial. The barns
will not only look cleaner; they will
smell sweeter, and the milk in the
pals VII smell sweeter too. A white
surface, too, tells the truth about dirt,
which dull timbers are willing to hide.
A coat of whitewash is well worth
while, and the sooner you put it on the
better.

CONCERNING PHosPHATEs.
sfrOund Rock Prof1tabIy Replaces

| sfround Rock ProfftabIy Replaces
/ More Expensive Fertilizers.
Experiments made by the Maine ex-
| pertinent station have indicated that
| with certain kinds of plants, notably
| turnips and rutabagas, crude fine
| ground Florida rock phosphate floats
was utilized to good advantage at all
| stages of growth as a source of phos-
! phoric acid. Other crops-such as corn,
| barley, clover, tomatoes and potatoes
| did not respond to applications of the
| insoluble phosphates in the earlier
stages of growth, but utilized it to
better advantage in later stages of
growth, thus suggesting that it may
be profitable on certain crops grown on
a large scale to combine the soluble
and insoluble phosphates, applying
small amount of the former at time of
planting to hasten the early growth of
the crop and a larger amount of the
latter a few weeks later to supply the
wants of the more advanced plants.
In this way the outlay for phosphoric
acid would be greatly reduced and
probably the yield in no way de-
creased
Slow Action of InsolubIe Phosphates.

gated in recent years by a number Of
other experiment stations, particularly
those of Illinois, Maryland, Massachu-
setts and Ohio, and, while the results
have not been entirely conclusive, they
in general bear out those obtained by

such phosphates may in many cases
proftably replace to a large extent the
more expensive phosphates, particu-
larry on soils naturally or artifcially

certain kinds of crops, especially those
having long season of growth and with
which early maturity is not an impor
tant consideration. On the other hand,
crops which must be forced in their
early stages of growth and brought to
early maturity require more soluble
forms of phosphoric acid.
When Used With Green Manures.
Experiments made by number Of
eastern experiment stations show rath-
er conclusively that the insoluble phos-
pilates cannot be proftably used, for
example, in market gardening on the
light soils best adapted to that pur-
pose, while 1t has been clearly demon
strated by several of the southern and
western experiment stations that when
used in connection with liberal applica-
tions of stable manure Or green ma
nures the cheap insoluble phosphates
are about as effective and much more
economical in general farming than the
high priced acid phosphates. The use

Feeding the Milk Maker

Butter favor is a thing largely de-
termined by the feeding and care of
the cow. While owing to bad manage
ment good feed often produces poor but
ter, it is impossible to produce fine but
ter with fine flavor from poor feed.
Food Value of Corn.
Some stations have published results
Of their experiments, which prove that
45 per cent of the food value Of corn
is fn the stalks, leaves and husks. This
makes the stalks nearly as valuable as
the corn. If it is put into the silo at
the right time it will be excellent food
and will be eaten up clean. For this
reason it is good policy to work the
corn crop into silage.
~. Feeding Grain.
The amount of grain to feed should
be only two-fifths the number Of
pounds of milk the COW is giving, says
the Holstein-F -Friesian Register. If a
COW gives thirty pounds Of milk she
should get two-ffths of thirty, or
twelve pounds of grain daily. A COW
giving fifteen pounds of milk daily
should get two-ffths of that, or six
pounds of grain.
Weighing the Grain.
When you suggest to farmer that
he weigh the grain he feeds his cows
he will naturally say that it is out Of
the question. He has not the time. It
will seem to him a big job to weigh
the grain that is fed to each animal at
night and in the morning. There is a
very simple way to get around this
and yet know just what you are feed
ing, says writer in Kimbalps Dairy
Farmer. Every farmer has pan or
measure of some kind with which his
grain or meal is proportioned to the
stock. If he will simply take this meas
ure and weigh it once, it will be an easy
matter to estimate the amount which is
fed each time. I had small measure
which held four pounds Of chopped
corn. I weighed this once, and that
was sufficient to keep close tab on what
the stock were getting. ~t

Now that milking machines have
shown us that they can milk cows
without drying them up a new claim
1s being made for them. The milk Is

1t is we'll known that milk is spoiled
10y bad odors from the stable and from
dust and dirt falling into it during the
process of milking. In the best dairies
n great deal OF expense and care are
continually expended to procure milk
as clean rs possible. If the milking
machine proves as satisfactory as it
promises TO be it will revolutionize
aiairying. not only solving the labor
problem as applied to milking. but by
furnishing better quality of milk at
less expense. 1t is said that milk
drawn from the udder by the milking
machine and carried at once to thor
songh1y cold sterilized bottles will keep
