MAKING OF BETTER DAIRYMEN BY
COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS
Ane aiik and Cream Contests Dairy Show
Held This Year.

The handling Of dairy products is
OF greater importance to the health of
THE people consuming them than the
production. The most Indifferent
dairy farmer can produce milk and
cream, but II requires knowledge and
skill to handle them properly, and
while there is a recognition Of higher
standards among dairymen generally
and the adoption Of more cleanly and
sanitary methods. still the campaign
OF education must continue.
One OF the powerful agents in this
direction is the National Dairy Show.
and the exhibit held in Chicago this
year was intended to be largely edu-
cational in character. and in the re-
port just issued Of the milk and cream
exhibit by the government agent. CIar.

there is much that is worthy Of the
careful consideration and study by
every dairyman.

MORE KILLED AND INJURED.


Accident bulletin No. 20. issued by
the interstate commerce commission
for the three months ended June 80,
1906, shows the total number OF cas-
ualties to passengers and to employees
while on duty to be 16,sS7. as against
1926 reported in the preceding three
months.
The number of passengers and en-
ployes killed in train accidents was
1874. as against 274 reported in the
preceding three months. The total
number Of collisions and derailments
was 3,1Os 1855 collisions and 1916
derailments), OF which 17S collisions
and 1853 derailments affected passen-
ger trains. The damage to cars. en-
gines and roadway by these accidents
amounted to $2.373,924.
The number OF employees killed in
coupling and uncoupling cars and en-
gines was IS. being 16 less than the
number reported killed in the pre-
vious quarter.
The two most disastrous accidents
reported in the present bulletin was a
butting collision of passenger trains
that killed 10 passengers and en-
ployes. and one derailment, killing
nine passengers.
The total number Of persons killed
recorded in this bulletin is less than
in the last preceding quarter. but Ii
more than in the corresponding quar-
ter of 1905. The same is true as to
the number Of employees killed in coup
ling accidents In train accidents
there is a gratifying diminution. both
in passengers and employees killed
compared with either of the two
earlier quarters mentioned.

The so-called certified milk entered
in this contest was quite superior to
the market milk, the total scores av-
eraging 94.S and S9.7, respectively.
This result goes to show that certified
milk is a superior article. and is actu-
ally worth more when we consider
its better favor and keeping quality
and freedom from Objectionable bac-
terra, and. further. the fact that the
richness Of the milk is guaranteed. It
is apparent that the producer Of certi-
fed milk must be a thoroughly capa-
BILE man. He must understand mat
ters pertaining to the healthfulness Of
cows. the effect Of disease or any in
fiammation or unusual condition Of
the COW upon the milk. also the COM
position and effect OF the various
feeding stuffs on the cows. the effect
Of overfeeding. and unusual disturb
ances which affect the quality or flow
Of the milk; he must have some know
ledge OF bacteria and know the impor-
tance Of sterilizing utensils. which
are sources Of bacterial contaminar
ton. He must appreciate the fact that
injudicious feeding Of turnips, garlic

duce undesirable hayors In milk, and
must know how to guard against

Prof. Snyder, Of the Minnesota sta
ton, tells us. in the following. why
bacon has become so popular. In a
reference to tests made he says It was
cut in thin slices and baked OF broiled
in the oven until crisp and brown. All
the fat which was cooked out was
saved and eaten with the bread and
other foods which made up the daily
fare. On an average about 80 per
cent. OF the protein and 96 per cent.
Of the fat Of the ration containing
bacon were digested, and about IS per
cent. Of the energy was available. Cal

It is a well-known fact that certain
Of the organisms which cause decompo-
sition of manure are avoided with the
dung and commence their activity at
once. In case OF horses and sheep
these organisms cause a considerable
loss of ammonia In a comparatively
short time. 1t is necessary, therefore,
to adopt prompt measures in order to
reduce loss from this source to mini
mum.
The means which are available for
this purpose are the use of absorbents
(litter) and preservatives. The litter
takes up the liquid manure. thus pre-
serving it to some extent from decom-
position, and also absorbs to consid-
e~sble extent the ammonia produced
BY fermentation and prevents its es-
cape into the air.
The relative absorptiye power Of va
rious materials commonly used as abb
sorbents in stables is shown in the
table below. The first column gives
the amount of water retained by 100
pounds of material after "a hours. The
second column shows the quantity Of
ammonia absorbed by 100 pounds Of
dry matter in different materials:

was abandoned on a siding at Car
rollton, n. Y. An employe who heard
she was to be seized for debt. fired
her up and ran her to Bradford, Pa,
out OF the jurisdiction OF New York
state officers. and left her on the
track there. The next morning she
had disappeared. Where she had gone
or who took her away was never
learned, and an old employe says:
mo trace of her has ever been found,
80 far as ! know. and have made
all sorts Of inquiries everywhere dur
ing the past 40 years. It is supposed
that she was run back to Susquehan-
ma in the night-which would have
been an easy task in those days.
There is a theoiy that she was
broken up in Susquehanna, but that
was a rumor that could never be YER
ified There was no reason why she
should have been taken to Susque-
hanna and none why she should have
been broken up except that she was

SOME CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS.


Most OF the common accidents
caused by neglect of the train crew
sre summarized BY Mr. Richardson. in
his book, RAILROAD Accidents: Their
Causes and Prevention" as follows:
Failure to watch for and observe
signals.
Trains following each other too
closely.
Trains following at too high rate
Of speed.
Failure to protect trains stopped on
the main track.
Cars not being left into clear at
sidings.
Switches being left wrong.
Lack Of caution In time OF storm or
fog.
General carelessness.
Most Of the injuries to employees
caused by their own carelessness are
from coupling cars. getting on and of.
or falling from trains and engines.
Mr.. Richards cannot imagine why a
brakeman Of common sense should
stand on footboard and when the
couplers are almost together put his
hand in between them, nor why he
should stand in the middle of the
track and wait for car OF engine to
approach and then step on the foot
board. or brakebeam. when by STEP

mon in the milk supplied to many OF
our cities.
1t may be stated that these wide
variations occur not only In the milk
supplied by different dealers, but in
the MIX from the same dealer from
day to day. particularly where the
"dippage" system is practiced. These
variations may be due to not properly
mixing the milk from the different
cows. or failing to mix the milk In the
can before dipping 1t out This results
in dissatisfaction on the part OF the
consumers, for the reason that they
do not want cream delivered to them
one day and a product approaching
skim milk the next This question Of
uniformity Is one Of great Importance
to both producer and consumer.
The fact is also OF interest that
both the milk and the cream which
won the medals in the contest were
produced form herds that were large
ly Of mixed breeding. This indicates
that the sanitary conditions under
which milk is produced and the meth
cd Of handling it are OF more impor-
tance than the fact that the animals
are pure bred or that they are OF
some particular breed.
