Dairy Notes.
BY Shepherd.

Good mixers never have milk
fever.
Bitter cream comes by letting
the cream stand too long before
skimming.
Because you have to buy bran
is no reason why you should not
feed 1t.
If a cow is pinched for food she
will not yield profitable quanti-
ty OF milk.
Good care and keep are as es.
sential as proper selection and
breeding.
Milking should always be done
in clean, airy place, free from
all bad odors.
Milk cannot be made cheaply
for a long period without some
sort of protein foods.
The activity of milk secretion
depends largely upon the vigor
of blood circulation.
The production of fat depends
mainly upon the temperament of
the COW; gentle handling and
rich feed.
1t is not necessary to let butter
stand after sailing by the granu
lated method and give it a Sc
cond working; it can be put di
rectly into the package.
Beware of salt that does not
dissolve Immediately. is liaI le
to remain undissolved and make
the butter gritty, unless an ex
ira amount Of water is left in the
butter.
Souring is not what is wanted
in cream for churnIng, for if this
stage is reached, all of the cream
that is added to the churning
that falls below this stage is but
"cut" into like consistency, and
less loss ensues.
Dairy stock cannot be improv.

Canning Better than Preserv-

Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
No farm ls complete without a
canning outfit with which to util.
re it's surplus fruits and vegeta-
bles and for those Of us who are
too far from market to dispose of
these products as they ripen, they
are almost indispensable.
Canning is the only method of
preserving fruits and vegeta bles
with their natural flavors, and on
the farm is the best place to car
ry this method to perfection. If
fruit is gathered green to be sent
to..a dists Mt point, it Will lack that
perfect flavor which nature i'm

Keep the Old Sow Over.

There will be strong tempta-
tion to market the old SOW this
fall on account of the high price
of pork. Many are the opinion
that their hog business is more
profitable when the sows are
turned off after raising a litter
or two and the breeding stock
chosen from the youngsters. In
this way, one gets rid of the ex-
pense of feeding the sows dur
ing the late fall and winter
months. The young ones must be
fed fairly well in any event,
whether they be intended for
breeding purposes or for the
meat market, and it certainly is
the most economical from the
feed standpoint to fill the breed
ing pens with young ones.
We do not favor this practice,
however, even under present con.
ditions. Of course there will be
plenty of sows in the corn belt
this fall that are worth S25 or $50
each for meat, and where fifteen
or twenty old sows are kept over
1T Is true that some capital is tied
up in time. Nevertheless we be.
lleve in the fixed policy of keep
ing over the best old sows. Select
those that bring through litter
of uniform pigs. There is no CUES
tion but what the old SOW will
raise more pigs and raise them
better than young one. There.
fore, by continuing the practice
of breeding from mature sows it
will materially contribute to
keeping up stamina and constitu
tIonal vigor.
There is growing belief a
mong many swine men that the
reduction in stamina of certain
breeds is not so much due to the
practice of inbreedIng as 1T is tc
the mistake of continually breed
ing from young stock; that is
from young males. Some of oul
best feeders have found that by
using mature stock always and
by inbreeding sensibly they can
fix desirable characteristics only
In this way. If any one would
take the time to examine any
good pure bred swine herd he
would find that the owner be
heves in ihe plan of reedine g
from mature animals. While the
man who raises hogs for the
meat market has a radically diff.
ferent object in view, yet we be-
lieve that the same principles
apply and that the profits In the
end will be larger when the plan
of keeping the old sows as long
as they are able to raise large
and uniform litters is enforced
