Relieving a Choked Cow,

A writer in Kimbalps Dairy Farmer
says: My experience in dairy farming
has been long and varied. / am going
to speak of one thing that comes to my
mind, especially now. One of my
neighbors tried the experiment Of fat
tening dry cows on potatoes. Unfor-
tunately two of his cattle choked on
them. Becoming alarmed by their con-
dition and having heard of relieving
choked cattle by pushing the obstruc-
ton down the throat, he took a whip
stock and proceeded to help the COW
swallow the potatoes. He pushed with
so much force and the potatoes were SO
hard that the throat of the COW became
badly bruised. Inflammation set in,
and she died. When another one chok-
ed he tried to break the potato and sue
ceeded In relieving the COW for the
time being, but she died later from
blood poison caused by the unneces-
sary harshness. Such measures are
seldom necessary. My practice is to
put gag In the mouth and let the gas
pass off, and the potato will soften
and can be easily removed without any
injury, and the bIoated animal Is re-
lieved

WORKING In the Salt.
DAIRY NOTES.

Every year the silo increases in favor
with the dairyman.
The usual amount of salt for butter
is half ounce to the pound. How
ever, this varies according to the taste
Of the trade.
A little grain while the cows are on
pasture will make the herd profitable.
Never fill the churn much over half
full. If the temperature is right, the
butter will come quickly.
Teach the boys to be gentle with the
cows. Stoning and chasing will not do.
Warm cream should not be mixed
with cold cream. Before mixing, cool
the new cream to the same tempera-
ture Of that in the cream jar.
A good cure for "lost cud" Is half
pail Of bran night and morning and a
good pasture all day.
The small yield high fat cows are a
drag on dairying and dairymen.
1t is not sufficient that GOVT have all
the grain they can eat. The stomach
Of every animal needs something bulky
upon which to work.
Good judgment. knowledge and skill
are all necessary IL you would be a
successful dairyuian All can be at
tained.
Before butter is good 1t must escape
the dangers from musty feed, stag
nant water, foul odors, bacteria in
pans. pals and strainers and overripe
cream.
During warm weather one Of the
greatest difficulties is keeping milk
sweet Nothing should be put In II.
Cleanliness and GOODNESS are the two
preservatives that should be used-and
no other.
Let plenty Of sunlight into the barns.
Disease germs and harmful bacteria
exist in dark places. They truly love
darkness rather than light"
Never use hard soap In washing
dairy utensils. Soft soap should be
used only when it is impossible to
clean the pans and pals without il.
Boiling water Is much more satisfac-
tory.

The Brown Swiss was introduced
into this country by Massachusetts
importer about forty years ago, but has
never become very numerous, although
there are scattered herds of the breed
as far west as Missouri and north to
the region of the great lakes.
One of the most valuable qualities Of
the Brown Swiss Is its vigor. The
grades and crossbreds In which the
breed is used inherit these qualities
Of health and hardy constitution. The
disposition of these animals is excel
lent. both males and females being
very quiet and docile. They thrive
particularly well in mountain sections
where the fodder and pasturage are
rough and scanty, as in its native

Community BREEDING.

Professor W. A. Henry of Wisconsin
In recent address said
1.-THE next great advance will be
community effort. The farmers in each
community should meet at the school
house and tremendously agree upon
one breed Of dairy cattle for that COM
munity. II the most blood In the dairy
herds now is Holstein. they should all
agree upon Holsteins and Holsteins
only; If it is some other breed, then
upon that breed. Where the farms are
not large instead of having one scrub
bull on each farm two, three or even
four neighbors should join and buy one
or two registered bulls. The scrub bull
has no place on hundred dollar land"

In selecting the sire the record OF his
mother, his sire's mother and OF all his
near ancestry should be looked into.
and unless all these have been large
producers and of the desirable dairy
type we cannot expect their offspring
to produce individuals that will be
economical producers. 1t Is much safer
to select an old sire that has been tried
and produced offspring that are known
to be large producers than to select a
young sire whose ability to transmit
characteristics Is unknown.

writes a dairyman in Kimballs Dairy
Farmer. At one time l had two cows
in the herd that are deserving of spe-
cial mention. Whitley was fine, large
cow with the ability to produce fifty
pounds Of milk daily when in full flow.
Beauty was a small animal that barely
ran as high as thirty pounds. My hired
man had often urged me to get rid of
Beauty, and used TO say, what fine
thing we would make Of this dairy If
all the cows were like Whiteyv'
I applied the scales and Babcock test
to these cows and at the end Of year
this Is the record each made, In round
numbers: Whitley, 5000 pounds of
milk of an average test Of per cent;
Beauty, 5000 pounds Of milk with an
average test Of 61a per cent Whitley
went and Beauty stayed. Before
many years had nearly every animal
In the herd tracing back to Beauty.
By the process Of wedding out the
poor ones the animal butter averages
began to climb higher each year; from
300 pounds it went to $50. then to 327,
to 337, and at the time turned over
my business to my son the herd was
averaging a pound day.

centIeness and the Cow.

1t has been suggested many times
that the mind Of the dairyman and the
hired man has great influence on the
cows In every herd. There Is no doubt
Of this. Some men have harmonizing
effect on all life about them Others
have disturbing effect. If there is a
place in the world where a gentle man
is needed 1t is in herd Of cows IT
means as much money TO the proprie
tor as does feed or shelter.

If tub or jar Of butter is to stand
out sealing. cover the top with thick
layer of salt to keep out the air.
When TO Skim.
AS soon as the least degree of acidity
can be detected milk should be SKIM
med, as the cream will all have been
precipitated when that stage is reach
ed. Cream requires frequent stirring
If even ripening is to be secured. 1t
should be smooth and velvety and
pleasantly mot decidedly acid to the
taste and is then ready for the churn.
Much of the success of the butter
maker depends on the proper ripening
of the cream.
Working the Butter.
The firmness of butter must be taken
into account in determining how long
to work it. Usually the firmer the but
ter the more working it will stand.
The Covered Milk Pail.
Milk pals are source of trouble
when not properly treated. There are
a great many kinds of pals on the
market designed to aid the dairyman
in his warfare against germs. One of
the most improved pals that are used
in sanitary dairies Is the covered pail
having a layer Of absorbent cotton be-
tween two layers of fine wire gauZe,
through which the milk must pass be-
fore 1t enters the pail.
The Flavor of Butter.
As the flavor of butter depends prin-
cipally upon the proper ripening of the
cream and upon the absence of bac-
terra the washing of butter In gran
ular condition with pure water is a
matter Of far reaching Importance, for
If this Is neglected the butter will con-
tain milk, sugar and bacteria. Chem
zeal action brought about by the latter
will hasten decomposition of the but
ter.
Undesirable Odors In Milk.
Rotten silage, musty hay and grain,
decayed roots as well as obnoxious
weeds will impart to milk undesirable
odors and fi8vors. In order to obtain
milk with a sweet, desirable odor
and flavor we must keep obnoxious
weeds out of the pastures. We must
take care of the animal IN such a way
that her general physical condition Is
good We must feed nothing but clean
and fresh food and we must give the
animals pure water. Polluted and i'm
pure water not only affects the quality
Of the milk. but may also impair the
health of the animal Professor Hunzi-
ker.
Working In the Salt
A buttermaker gives this method for
sailing out Of the churn: Remove the
butter when In the granular state,
weigh IT and place 1t upon the worker,
spread evenly and salt to suit the taste.
Sift the salt evenly over the butter,
pass the worker over it, then run the
butter and work again or until the
salt is thoroughly worked In. 1t may
then be set away for few hours,
after which ii should be given Sec
ond working.
