DAIRY NOTES.

Dairy conventions are good schools.
practical hints thrown out by men
who work with ows are sure to hit
some faulty person. l heard a speaker
ask, a short tim ago. how many i'm the
audience had trouble with their home
butter-making. Nearly every owned
up. The speaker then stated that much
of the trouble calne from keeping cream
too long before c%hurning. too much
churning and then too much working.
1t requires some skill to determine al.
these things. and close attention must
be given to each detail if one expects
to turn out a uniform good product.

EARN FACTS

Professor Dietrich says: The amount
of corn required per 100 pounds of in
crease in live weight viii depend very
largely upon the kind of hogs and the
the way they have been previously fed.
If these hogs are to run on clover and
are fed corn from the time they are far
rowed until they go to market one can
figure on five or six pounds OF corn
for every pound of gain. This will de
pend very largely also on the amount
of corn they are fed. The best results
viii be obtained if they are fed a linn
tied quantity of corn during the first
five or six months and fed more heavily
on it towards the close of the fattening
period"

If the heifer has beer bred right,
don't discard her the first year if she
does not show the real dairy form. You
can hardly tell the first year what the
COW will do afterwards. / remember
an instance where a valuable dairy
bred animal was n Very mall producer
of milk the first year: sne had more of
the beef form. But, as she grew older
her beef form disappeared, and she de-
veloped AN ideal dairy form. She
gained a national reputation on account
of the iinense quantity of milk and its
great richness.

To tear a fee from a lawyer, a pretty

to lure a star from out the range of the

An Illinois woman writes to a dairy
paper THAT her cream has been off
flavor all winter. SO tar as she knows
the feed and water given the cows
is all right, she scalds out the pals and
cans and thoroughly clean the sep
arator every week. Just think. Clean
ing the separator only once in seven
days. 1t is a wonder that her cream
is fit to use. The separator must be
cleaned every time it lis used.

Sailing butter properly is not so easy
as one might imagine. When the salt
and butter have been mixed i'm the
churn. the butter should be placed upon
the working table and worked at once,
II is difficult TO make a good articl,,
of butter and salt it just right, when
bowl and paddle are used. The butter
is apt to have a greasy appearance.

The dairy farmer and the creamery
man must pull togetl.ar. The farmer
must present his product at the cream
cry in the best possible condition, and
the creameryman must Lave his end of
the business we'll in hanG. Cooperative
crenmeries are profitable only to the
extent of painstaking cooperation OF
all parties concerned.

Dair5tug makes better farms, better
barns aGd better homes. Increased soil
fertility means bigger and better crops.
These mean better and richer milk, and
fatter cream checks. The whole scheme
offers Il chance for Improvement and

When the COWS begin to shed their
hair a good, stiff brushing will not only
clean off the loose hairs so they won't
drop into the milk pals. but the COW
like it, and seem to respond at milking
time. During the time feed plenty of
bran. also gluten or oil meal will help
balance the ration.

More farmers are writing about
changing their seed corn and seed oats
this spring han for many years. 1t
is a good sign. 1t shows that these
farmers are not satisfied with the
yields they have been getting.

Good management of COWS means
proper care and growing suitable crops
for feeding The year round. The milk
shows it at once in the milk pail. With
good pastures and some incidental or
soiling crops the feed problem is easy.

Now for a better stand of corn. over
much of the corn belt it is estimated
that not more than two-thirds of a
stand of corn is secured. The fault is
largely with the seed. 1t is not graded
or sorted so that the planter will drop
uniformly. 1t is surprising how many
different shape kernels are found on a
single ear. and hen all of these are
put into the planter boxes. the best
You can expect is uneven drops. Not
only use good seed, but size it so that
two, three OF four kernels may be
dropped in ninety-tive hills out of a
hundred.

OF course poultry keeping is practical
for the farmer. Why not? With the
best range and variety of feed he is in
the ideal position to maSe it pay out.
Where most farmers lost out, is they
pay no attention to system or method.
They know nothing about expenses or
what their yearly receipts are from
poultry. Put it on a business basis.
If you can't do it yourself, turn it over
to some other m of The family.
