WHAT CONTRASTING DID.
Il Enabled One Farmer to Improve His
Herd and Do Profitable Dairying.

A few years ago creamery started
in a certain locality. The milk was
bought by test. One farmer didn't
have enough milk to interest the man.
ager, says writer in Kimballs Dairy
Farmer. And what he had was a
poor quality, three per cent. or lower.
He was pretty sore because, you
see, he wanted to be "our influential
citizen" 1t was like being slapped in
the face to be told his milk was no
good. Finally he concluded it was USE
less to buck capital. He began to
wake up and use the part of his ana
tony that he carried under his hat.
He improved his herd. He bought
a Babcock tester and used 1t. IL he
suspected a cow wasn't up to par he
took a sample of her milk to be test
ed.
He fed better and gave better care.
His last check for Is days was few
cents over 500. Know what your cow
are doing.

FARM SEPARATOR CREAM.
Can Be Delivered In Good Order by
Proper Care.

'The chief difficulty in the way OF
cream is collected instead of the milk
is the difficulty of getting the cream
delivery in sweet, clean favored
condition. Patrons who deliver milk
know that it must be delivered sweet
daily, or at least six times a week in
warm weather, in order to have it In
a condition fit to make fine butter
On the other hand, cream will remain
sweet for longer time than milk, and
most persons consider that it does
no harm if the cream sours-in fact
it pays better to have it sour, because
they receive a higher test for such
cream from those creameries using
why the oil test should be discarded
in favor of the Babcock, which latter
test places a premium on sweet cream.
In order to get sweet cream for
creameries the two main requisites
are to keep everything clean and to
keep the cream as cold as possible I'm.
til it is delivered at the creamery.
The first requisite should be easy, but
many persons fail here for the same
reason that an old bachelor failed in
getting good results in his cooking by
following recipes in cookbooks. When
some one asked him If he had ever
tried any of the recipes for cooking,
he said he had tried good many OF
them but never had good results.
When asked why, he said they all be-
gan in the same way, take a clean
dish" and he couldn't do that very
handily, consequently he gave up re.
ferring to cookbooks. The second
requisite is gotten by having on hand
a supply of ice or cold water. Ordin-
arily each and every patron ought to
have a supply of ice for cooling
cream. The subject may be summar.
lied in the following, as presented by
Prof. Dean in the Canadian Dairy
man:
First-Clean the pals, cans and
separator daily or twice daily.
Second-Cool cream to so degrees
by the use of ice or cold water.
Third-Have rich cream testing not
less than 20 to 80 per cent. rat.
Fourth-Fresh cream should not
be added to older cream until after 1t
is cooled to so degrees.
Fifth-Deliver daily or at least four
times a week in warm weather. The
cream can or tanks should be protect
ed from sun, rain and dust while on
the wagons.
Sixth-Proper weighing, measuring
and sampling are essential for salts
faction among the patrons.
Seventh-Cream should be pasteur-
lied and cooled at the creamery, espe.
cially in the fall and winter, to re-
move Objectionable fiavors and to
add keeping quality to the butter.
Eighth-Cooperation on the part OF
the drivers, patrons and creamerymen
is necessary in order to improve the
quality of the cream and butter.

STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
American Farmer Learning to Do
Profitable Dairying.

In a recent conversation with the
writer, Prof. Fraser said that the
American farmer has not learned how
to make the most out of his land and
has not yet acquired the ability to
make as much out of his cows as some
of the European dairymen do. He
declares that it is easily possible for
twice as much milk and cream out of
it as the average COW makes. This
is a fourfold increase of the returns
from an acre of land.
There is no doubt that the pro-
lessor is right and that we can accom-
plish four times as much as we are
doing now and with the same gen.
eral expenditure. This is a remark
able statement, but it is one easy to
prove. The average cow is a poor
specimen of the bovine race, making
less than $50 pounds of butter In a
year. 1t is not a great stretch of the
imagination to see every cow giving
milk enough to produce at least 300
pounds of butter per year, or all cows
giving enough to bring the average
up to that point.
On the other hand, it Is not an ex-
travagant thing to believe that the
time is coming when the average acre
of land will produce twice as much
forage as at the present time. In
this country we have had such a
superabundance of land that we have
fallen into the habit of using it waste
fully. Some of the pastures are in
the condition in which they were
when the timber was cut off. The
soil has never been turned, and the
wild grasses are he only ones to be
found. 1t takes a good many acres Of
such land to support COW, especially
in a dry summer, such as this has
been in some sections devoted to
dairying.
1t will require many years yet to
awake our cow owners to the real
conditions as they exist and to COM
pare them wit, the conditions that
may exist. Could we drop some of
these cow owners down into the fields
of Holland or Denmark, the impress
sion might be sooner made. To do
profitable dairying requires a weeiing
out process in our methods. The
method that has been followed for
two centuries of pasturing cows on
any kind of pasture nature may give
us should be abandoned. The old
natural pasture does not produce
enough feed even when 1t it is not
overstocked, and it is frequently so
badly ove-stocked that it will not
produce as much as it might.

Growth of Dairying.

The growth Of dairying in all the
civilized nations of the world during
the past 25 years has been very great.
The increase of population in the ma
tons has made it desirable to produce
concentrated foods that will keep for
long time. Dairy products In some
of their forms can be kept for long
time, and up to a certain limit the
keeping improves their digestibility.
The development of dairying has been
largely in the countries having tenn
perate climate, but the industry Is
gradually working toward the torrid
regions. In the latter localities the
problems connected with the keeping
of milk are greater than IN the colder
localities, but the problems Of feeding
are fewer. The south will yet engage
largely in dairying.

tition, but such accidents occur in ex.
ceptional cases only. The standing
room for the cow varies according to
the size of the animal, says Prairie
Farmer, but there should be sufficient
space so that the COW will nCs be
obliged to step back into the gutter,
and at the same time have space linn.
tied so that the droppings will read
lily fall into the gutter. For medium
to large COWS about five and one-half
feet from the standing space is rec
commended.

than all the rest, one that is capable
of producing large yields of milk and
fat, and at the same time gives birth
to many strong and large producing
animals. The science of breeding lies
in the judicious use that is made of
the best blood in the herd. In order
to obtain the best results, records
must be kept of not only the amount
of product yielded, but a breeding rec
ord, which should show the strong
characteristics of the animal, as well
as the weak.
Glenwood Girl vi. is considered one
of the best individuals of this family
and her heifers are making good rec
ords and her bulls are producing some
very fine stock. These facts all show
that Glenwood Girl was a very pre-
potent animal and that she has trans
mitted to her daughters and bulls the
same good trait.
Glenwood Girl vi. has a yearly rec
ord Of 12,1S4 pounds of milk; average
test, 4.69 per cent, and 572 pounds of
fat, equivalent to 6S7 pounds of but
ter.
