less ways of handling COWS, stables
and the milk product.
This demand for purer food, is ris.
ing like tide before the dairy farmer.
How will he meet it? Like an intelli-
gent man of course. Years ago
Hoards Dairyman commenced telling
the dairy farmer that he must look
on himself, not as a producer, but as
manufacturer. He deals in milk,
a manufactured product. The COW is
his machine. If he does not keep his
machinery in good order, down goes
the quality of his product. Dealing
with living machines he must under
stand something about the laws of
good health in animals. He must
know something about the action Of
bacterial growth in stables and in
milk products, because, the people
he sells to demand that he know these

things. If he despises such knowl-
edge, and refuses to be governed by
its conclusions, then his troubles will
increase. He may kick stoutly about
testing his cattle for tuberculosis and
call it all humbug, but there stands
the demand staring him in the face.
The consumer refuses to take his milk
unless it is from healthy COWS. The
buyer of live stock refuses to pay him
a good price for his cattle unless they
are healthy. The men who buy his
hogs will refuse to take them unless
the milk he takes to the creamery is
from healthy COWS, so that the skim
milk will not infect his neighbours
hogs or calves.
At the office of the live stock SAM
tary board in Madison, Wis, are the
records of over one hundred herds of
hogs where tuberculosis has been con-
veyed to them by drinking creamery
skimmilk that came from infected
COWS. What are we, as dairy farmers,

dairy in order to produce sanitary
milk and yet no one has touched Who'll
ly on all parts.
1--WE milk from 800 to $50 COWS and
are trying to put a good article on
the market and being of the "old
style" would like to hear a suggestion
on modern dairy
Our stables are built with stanch-
ions and hay barn separate from COW
barns, with plenty of air and light as
per United States scoring card. We
wash our COWS before milking, but
milk in old fashioned bucket. Milk
is taken from barns Immediately after
being MIXED and filtered directly into
a tank over cooler; cooled, and stored
in cans prior to shipment.
Herd is all tested twice a year for
tuberculosis and stables thoroughly
fumigated. We are thinking of chang
ing our milk pail to the sanitary buck
ct and would like to hear suggestions
as to it's being the best.
L might add a word as to the labor
problem for the benefit of our eastern
friends whose lot falls to be dairymen
We are paying from fifteen to twenty
dollars per month more than they and
if a mixer stays three months he is
usually the oldest man on the place.
1--WE are asking ourselves here if it
will ever change. We are just begin
ming to wake up here, and since the
trade demands a good article, all the
milkmen want to sell out.
Spokane adopts the score card
August LIST, and many will be forced
to quit business, and this city of $4,000
people will be short of milk. In fact,
at the present time, when milk should
be plentiful, there is barely enough

The Dairy Farmer and Sanitary Laws
(HOard'S Dairyman.)


The growth of knowledge concern
ing the laws of sanitation is crowding
the dairy farmer harder than any 9TH
er class of agriculturists.
There is the question of the sali-
tary care of his COWS and of theic
stable, both for the sake of their
health and efficiency and the quality
and safety of their product as hui
man food. Quality and safety con-
front him on every hand. The con-
sumner of his product lives in cities
and villages where of necessity these
questions of sanitation are brought
more sharply to the attention of PEG
pie than in the country. They have
their boards of health and strict laws
and the more immediate contact of
ideas one with another. All these
bring their lessons, and lessons well
learned, bring Judgment and judg-
ment establishes law. Now the dairy
farmer finds that he can not produce
