One OF the standard foods for dairy
cows is bran. Bran is used as a
standard for regulating the price OF
nearly all OF the dairy foods upon the
market Bran carries about 10 per
cent OF protein, which makes Il an
exceedingly valuable feed. The men
that sell gluten feed always regulate
the price OF their feed by the price
OF bran, figuring both upon the pro

EIIerx Found ths Hoe Handy.

On small farm down In eastern
Maine lived old Mr.. N. and his son
Ellery. Like most country boys, FL
lery often found himself obliged to
work In the field at times when he
would have much preferred doing
something else.
One warm forenoon Mr.. N. and Eel.
lery were hoeing corn, and the father.
glanclng around from time to time,
noticed that his son spent much OF
the time leaning on the handle OF his
hoe and gazing away across the fields.
The old gentleman said nothing. but
during the noon hour he quietly sawed
of about half the handle. and, chuckl
Ing over his own shrewdness, returned
TO work
Much TO his surprise, his son made
no comment on the change, but, on
looking around a little later in the
afternoon, he beheld the hoe sticking
upright in the ground, with the invert
ed end buried in the earth and Ellery
himself calmly seated on the blade.

pont Rush MllkInn.

On the American farm there Is al
ways a tendency 10 rush things. The
American farmer generally lays out
for himself n very large amount OF
work and then Is In great haste TO get
through with II. Too often when the
mixer goes into the stable he has
the same nervous haste that has been
squirting him on In the doing OF the
other farm work. Nothing interferes
more with the milk-giving OF the COW
than this nervousness. The big mixer
especially is almost always a nervous
animal. This Is especially true OF the
Jersey and the Guernsey. We have
seen cows refuse 20 give any milk
when a nervous mixer sat down with
milk pail. Some cows have 20 be-
treated with a great deal OF care &c
induce them 10 give down their milk
The mixer should always be calm and
quiet when he begins milking. He
should assume that many cows will
not stand the work OF rapid and On

Butter Bacteria.

Until recently Il was not recognized
that bacteria played very serious
role In the dairy industry. Our butter
fiavors are due entirely TO the develop.
ment OF bacteria. There is not one
kind OF bacteria In a lot OF butter. but
many kinds. These kinds differ In
stage OF multiplication. IL so happens
that one kind OF bacteria may be In
butter one day In very large numbers.
while week after another kind may
have Increased so much more rapidly
than the FIRST that the flavor OF the
butter seems 10 be entirely changed.
This has been source OF much
trouble 10 judges OF butter. They
have found that butter scored high
two days after having been scored
low n month from that time. even
when kept in cold storage. while some
other kind OF butter that appeared to
be poor at the time II was made de-
veloped rich flavor a month after
being stored. II is generally believed
that butter made from perfectly clean
milk develops better bacteria than
that butter made from milk that Is
not clean
The question is therefore one con-
corning the material out OF which
butter Is manufactured. The matter
OF butter bacteria Is such serious
one. much effort is being made 10 iso-
late the different kinds OF bacteria,
with the idea OF propagating the best
kind. Also some effort has been made
to discover new and strange kinds OF
bacteria. One variety that was dis
covered In South America was brought
TO the United States and placed In
the hands OF Professor Conn OF the
Connecticut experiment station. This
was named BAL and was soon sold
commercially on the American mar
ket. This bacteria was propagated
by putting II into milk that had been
sterilized and all germs killed. In
very short time a few hundred bac-
terra placed In a can OF sterile milk
would produce 100000. The milk
was placed In bottles, sealed air tight
and sold 10 people. The sale has now
been going on for many years. and
the creamery men in all parts OF the
country use BAL. Butter bacteria are,
however, produced numerously in clean
milk. Keeping out dirt keeps out the
undesirable varieties.
