SANITARY MILK.
III. ID. GurIee Before Maine State
Board of Agriculture.

The COWS are groomed about half
hour before milking, and then, just
In advance OF the mixers, a man goes
with a pail of warm water-warmed
when the season requires it-and a
sponge for cleansing the udders. One
man can cleanse the udders for nine
or ten mixers II the COWS are conven-
iently situated. In my early work /
had each mixer go over his row of
cows and cleanse them before cleaning
himself up. But I soon discovered, as
the cows were put from the other sta
bles into this certified milk stable, that
there was very soon a shrinkage In
the milk, and II worried me. did not
know what TO think. My first thought
was that the cows had been injured by
the tuberculin test. Finally evolved
this idea-that manipulation OF the I'D
der In the cleansing stimulated the Sc
erection of milk, and TO get the best re-
suits you must follow that right up
and relieve the COW of her milk at
once or else there Is a reaction that
makes trouble. That solved the whole
question.
Clean Milking.
Then we discarded the first few
streams of milk from each COW. 1t
has not much value anyway; there is
not much fat in il. We milk through
an absorbent cotton strainer applied to
the top of the pail. This is regular
surgeons cotton. 1t is placed between
two layers of gauze and put over the
top of the pail and fastened there. The
pail is emptied through a covered
spout, so the pail Is not opened; only
the spout is opened when the milk of
each COW is weighed. From the barn
this milk is carried in cans to the milk
house, and there 1t is put through
centrifugal separator.
That "Animal Odor."
You cannot have milk that is right
and do the milking in stable that is
full of floating life. The milk that
comes from the udder of a healthy
COW, after the first few streams are
taken, which rinse out the milk chan
mel, is practically sterile. The germs
get into the milk from the impure and
insanitary surroundings. / have seen
men who seemed to think that the
germs were a part of the milk They
would talk about the animal odor and
seemed to think that the milk had to
have II, when the facts are that the
animal odor is filth, pure and simple.
If we will take care of our cows and
our milk with the neatness with which
the women prepare the balance of our
food, we shall have no trouble with an
imal odors.

Parsimony Doesn't Pay.

There is a common mistake made IN
not feeding COWS literally enough; Sec
ond, feeding a ration not properly bal
anced. 1t has been found by expert
ments that about GO per cent of what
COW can eat is necessary to merely
maintain her without producing any
milk or gain In weight. This being
true, it is evident that it is not econo-
my to feed only little more than this
go per cent needed TO keep up the cows

cUTHBERT ASKS IMMUNITY
Manhattan Owned by London Com.
pany That Does Not Compete With
the standard-Its President Re-
fuses to Criminate Himself.


Findlay. Ohio. : Evidence was
brought out by the state Thursday in
the trial of the STANDARD Oil Company
of Ohio for conspiracy against trade,
showing the ownership of the Man
haitian Oil Company OF Ohio to be in
the General Industrial Development
Company, Limited, of London. Also
that the Manhattan, which buys ant
pipes crude oil, does not compete will
the Standard, but does compete will
independent companies.
These facts were brought out in the
Testimony of f. T. Cuthbert, president
of the Manhattan. A similar criminal
suit to that on trial Is pending against
his company, and he testified under
the order of the court. which renders
him immune from future criminal prose
cution. This course was taken at
the suggestion of the prosecution,
upon the appeal of Mr., Cuthbert to the
court for protection.
The witness had been summoned and
ordered to bring the books of his COM
pany showing the record of stockhoid-
ers' meetings. The books were pro-
duced.

The record of the last annual meet
ing showed that Mr.. Cuthbert had
been elected president by voting I'M
der power of attorney l,095 shares or
stock owned by the English holding
company; that this comprised the en-
tire stock of the company, with the
execution of ~ shares, of which one
share each is held by the president
and directors of the company, who
are all residents of Lima, Ohio, the
