Feeding the Milk Maker

Parsimonious feeding will negate the

All registered breeds have been devel-
oped by liberal feeding as well as in
telligent selections. Retrogression COM
mences with the want Of proper nour
ishment, and young animals born to be
champions of their breeds have their
possibilities stultified. At the door of
poor feeding can be charged the direct
cause Of more cases of discouragement
loss Of money and finally giving up OF
improved dairy stock than any other
one thing.

Those four words mean big differ

cows. The best way to get June feed

to get ills to erect silo and I'LL 1t

give Brindle and her sisters as luscious

stamina and greater feeding value than
grass ever had Note we say good

Alfalfa Rich In Protein.
In comparing Its food nutrients with
that Of other forage plants and mill

Sorghum silage has been largely used
as winter ration and as a supple

herds. with highly satisfactory and

Good Feed For Good Butter.

Shade For Cows.

Shade for cows in summer may come
from trees growing in the pastures sin
gly or in clumps or in places accessible
to them by cheap roof in the pasture
sustained by poles and covered with
straw or by the stables in which they
are kept in winter. But to shade from
either of these sources during the con-
tinuance of the fly season Professor
Thomas Shaw advances In American
Agriculturist the strong objection that
they furnish breeding places in which
flies multiply with great rapidity. This
Ii owing to the droppings which accu-
mulate In such centers. In these the
flies deposit their eggs. Because Of
this shade furnished by the stables Is
preferable, since when properly pro-
vided 1t Is cooler and flies may be In a
great measure excluded.

COOLING MILK.
To Keep IL sweet From Saturday
Might 90 Monday Morning.

Where milk Is not taken 10 the
creamery or cheese factory on sunday
20 keep II on the farm from Saturday
night TO Monday morning in warm
weather SO SIS 10 have IL sweet when il
finally reaches the factory Is 3 difficult
problem. but an important one. eSpe-
cially II the milk Is intended FOR
cheesemaklng. APrOpOS Of this din
Guilty the following Instructions % a
Canadian diAry expert are reproduce
from the ouawS Journal:
The only cooling agents 10 D. had by
the farmer are ice and cold water. and
every intelligent dairy farmer who
wants 20 send sweet milk or Monday
morning should have s supply Of ice
and know bow 10 use II The quickest
way 70 coo, milk Is 10 have il flow IN
thin layers over cold surface. but this
Is generally not practical 10 farmer.
Practical Method.
The method ! advise to patrons in
nv district Is as follows: A tank or
trough OF some kind is required to hold
cold water. and In this water the cans
containing the milk are placed Each
pallful as II Is drawn from the cow is
strained into these cans. which should
not be too large. By the time all the
milking is done the milk will be fairly
cool but the water will have become
warmed and viii have to be run OF
and more cold water put on In its
place. This should put the tempera-
ture down TO IS degrees. but renew
the water as often as necessary All
the work then required is to stir the
milk occasionally In order to insure
uniform temperature throughout. II
you have Ice 10 put In the water you
can see how much better ii will be and
bow much labor IL will save you.
After Cooling.
When the milk is cooled cover the
cans with a clean. wet blanket, one
end OF which is left in the water and,
acting as wick, aids in maintaining
the cool temperature and also prevents
the cream from drying II you have
well or spring to set the cans in they
will answer the purpose well. but be
sure to stir the milk at intervals while
1t is cooling, so that the center will not
warm and the outer parts only
be cooled.
Again, let me say cool the milk just
as soon as possible after drawing 1t
from the COW to below 81 degrees, and
keep 1t there until 1t Is time to send ii
to the factory on Monday morning. Do
not add Sunday mornings milk to that
Of Saturday night unless it has been
first cooled to as cold a temperature as
that OF the nights milk.

why, IndeedY

Two cows cost $40 each per year for
keep. One of them yields you 1000
quarts of milk year, that bring you
$50. The other yields 100 quarts, that
bring you $26 The latter loses for you
about S14 and reduces the gain ON the
former from SAG to $50. Why do you
keep the 1,2o0 quart COW? You would
be better off with the one that clears
SAG, for you would have only half the
investment, half the work and half the
feeding, and you would gain S;4 each

GRADING CREAM.
Factors That Influence the Test OF
Cream From separators.

Cream From separators.
| First grade cream should contain not
/ less than 80 per cent Of butter fat. for
! the reason that cream with this per
cent of butter fat will keep better and
cost less TO transport than cream OF
lower per cent of fat. and the day nan
will recover more skim milk. Some
causes that tend TO lower the butter
fat to below 30 per cent in cream sep
arated with a cream separator are as
follows: The variation in the per cent
of butter fat OF hand separated cream
Is very great if operators are not care
full in operating their machines uni
formly.
Running the Separator.
The first and probably the most i'm
portant cause that reduces the per
cent of butter fat in cream is by turn.
Ing too slowly. not giving the bowl
enough speed Anything that tends TO
change the speed of the bowl from one
separation to another influences the
per cent of butter fat in the cream.
A uniform speed of the bowl is obtain
ed by turning the crank at a given
speed at all times and giving the crank
an equal pressure at all points in its
circuit around the axis. The speed at
which the machine should be run is
indicated by the manufacturer Follow
these Instructions and count the revolu-
- ~ 4 ...., l.. a.
be sure that the speed Is maintained.
If milk is warm the cream will con-
tain a slightly higher per cent of but
ter fat If cold it will contain a slightly
lower per cent, other conditions being
equal Milk Immediately after it is
drawn from the COW has the proper
temperature at which to separate.
other Details.
Milk should be run through a sep
arator at constant rate. If milk is
fed into the separator at an uneven
rate, II at times the flow of milk be
stopped, the thickness of the cream
will be greatly influenced. The fas er
milk is run through separator the
thinner will be the cream, other condi-
lions being equal.
The amount of water or skim milk
used to flush out the bowl will natural
ly tend to decrease the per cent of
butter fat by diluting the cream with
water or milk.
There Is a cream screw or skim milk
screw in each separator for the purpose
Of changing the thickness Of cream
when desired. By this 1t can be SO
regulated as to skim thin or thick
cream. and when once set, IL all other
conditions Of the separator are uni
form, 1t will produce nearly a constant
per cent of butter fat-Oscar Err.
