BETTER CREAM.

Many wonder sometimes why they
cannot get as good cream during winter
as they do during the warm months
The trouble all comes from the way the
cream Is handled. Many do not realize
that cream should be cooled in winter
just as promptly as in summer. re
maintain the quality of cream it should
be cooled Immediately after separation
n kept at a low temperature. An
other thing which hurts cream dur
Ing cold weather is lack of cleanliness
In handling the cows and JeaVinE the
mlk around the barn for an. hour or
two. The same thing may be said Of
the milk utensils. Many think that
cold will keep these things sweet and
clean. n utensils are not washed
properly. One of the most prolific
sources OF trouble is the location of the
cream separator. l recently saw one in
a bed room, and another one was To-
Gated In a small side room where the
mem took off their work clothes and
boots. Better cream means. better care
all along the line.

SAVE THE cow MANURE.

OF all the elements of food for grow
ing crops, phosphoric acid is the one
which growers will do well to use judi
ciously. 1t is an element which is def
cient on most farms. and for this rea-
son the dung Of cows, which contains
nearly all OF the phosphoric acid,
should be carefully saved and applied
to lands. The made by cows
supplies nearly all elements Of crop
growth. The urine contains most OF
the nitrogen, the dung the phosphoric
acid, and the coarse stuff, such as
straw, most OF the ash. There Is less
than half a pound Of p~hosphoric acid in
100 pounds of well rotted manure. so 1t
Is essential that every bit of the ma
nure be saver. Mich cows, at best, do
not produce a high class manure, be-
cause of the elements which are sold
off in the milk. Use plenty OF straw
for bedding, and then get the manure
out on the fields where 1t will count.

MARKET GRAIN T4RoUeH COWS

A careful feeder can market his grain
and forage through his COWS to- a bet
ter advantage than any other, source
The profit OF the transaction depends
upon the skill OF he feeder and the
apihty or his COWS to use their food
economically. During periods of high
prices many cut down the rations of
their cows, and, while this does the
cows no particular harm, yet II cuts
OH profits just hat much. Tn cow
needs SO much food to keep UP. her body
requirements, n she appreciates ain
the food she gets until she gets suf-
ncleflt to meet those reqanirements.
Hence"1 is widen that the profit to-
the owner must come from the food
consumed above the actual needs of the
COW. Don't stint on the milch cows
feed, but rather feed all that YOUR
COWS will consume, providing, of course
they turn their food into milk

WATCH RI cows.

There has been more thai the usual
number of cases of abortion among
dairy cows reported during the past
year. The increase IF this affection
cannot be accounted for, unless it
comes from contagion. The dairyman
should he on the lookout now for any
chronic cases. Better remove from the
general herd any COW hat has ever
aborted. Much can be done to avert
TINS trouble by toning up the cows
system, and keeping her free from ex-
and in comfortable quarters.
Right now is the time to attend to these
matters. Don't wait until one or more
cows have prematurely dropped their
calves, and thus lay the whole herd
open 10 infection. If 1t Is not feasible

more vigorous measures and get rid OF

has been kept in right proportion. There
is as much opportunity for pront by
feeding right as there is in selling
right, yet the majority of dairymen
could not tell for the life of them how
much 1t costs to produce a gallon or
milk or a pound Of butter. The feeding
end of dafrying involves a careful sys-
tenn of farming, for wheat growing and
good dairying will not go we'll together.
