Butter and Milk

A moderately warm, clean, light. we'll
ventilated stable is great aid in the
economical production of winter milk.
Cold and badly ventilated stables mean
added cost for feed.
Remove the Cause.
Poor butter is due to poor handling
somewhere along the line. 1t may be
it had it's origin in the COW barn, the
milk room, the churn or it may have
been well cared for up to the time OF
rinsing and washing the finished prod
uct. Hunt the source and remove the
cause.
Use Pure Water.
Polluted water will make milk the
carrier of such diseases as diphtheria'
| typhoid and scarlet fever. Epidemlcs
in many cities have been traced back
to the milk supply. 1t is therefore es-
| sentiaI that the water used for DAIRY
! purposes be known to be pure and
| clean. Wells which serve as cesspools
| for the draining from graveyards, out
| houses and from barnyards should be
closed up-Professor Hunziker.
! Neat Butter Packages.
| All butter packages should be sweet
| and clean before butter is placed In
them. If this is not done loss will al
| ways result A neat package Is also
exceedingly desirable, as an untidy one
creates a suspicion of the character OF
| the butter.
Milk Before Feeding.
Milk absorbs bad odors very rapidly,
consequently as soon as it IS drawn re-
| move at once from the stable and take
to the milk house. Always milk in
i place free from objectionable odors.
This Is especially important when ST.

Treat the Cow kindly.

A dairy cow is extremely sensitive TO
extremes of cold or heat. To do her
best she must be kept comfortable
Food, shelter and care are as essential
to her as to babe. She can do with
out either only at loss of production.
A variety of food. fresh air. sunlight
pure water not too cold and no undue
excitement are requirements not to be
neglected. Avoid yelling at or striking
a cow. Do not allow dogs to chase
them or even go about them. as their
presence almost invariably excites
them, and excitement must be avoided.
Treat the dairy cow kindly. Then If
she does not respond to such treatment
she is not the sort of COW to own.

Butler for long time-say. two or three
hours-returned without presenting the
note to Mr.. Lincoln. This was in conse-
Quence OF an assurance from Mr.. Butler
that Mr. Lincoln could not receive any
communication from Mr.. Shields unless it
were q withdrawal of his first note or a
challenge. Mr. Butler further stated to
General whiteside that on the withdrawal
of the first note and a proper and gentle
manly request for an explanation he had
no doubt one would be given. General
whiteside admitted that that was the
course Mr.. Shields ought to pursue. but
deplored that his furious and intractable
temper prevented his having any tnf1u-
ence with him to that end. General w.
then requested us to wait with him until
Monday morning, that he might endeavor
to bring Mr.. Shields to reason.
On Monday morning he called and pre-
sented Mr.. Lincoln the same note as. Mr..

THE DAIRY COW.
Some Points to Consider When You
Are rciSnsinG One.

:
Are Purchasing One.
What is the correct type or conforna-
ton of a dairy COW? The points may
be briefly considered under five heads
namely. dairy temperament. feeling
capacity, constitution, milk organs ant
quality.
Dairy temperament is indicated ty
spare, angular form; large. bright, ex-
pcessive eyes far apart: large,
straight, prominent backbone and an
active disposition as opposed to slug
gishness. The spare. angular form in
dicates the absence CT any disposition
to lay on fat, and the large backbone.
large, bright eyes, broad forehead and
general sprightliness indicate an abun-
dance of nerve or working power.
Good feeding capacity is Indicated by
4 long. deep barrel or coupling, large
nu..le and d good constitution.
Constitution and MIX Organs.
A good constitution is indicated by
large. bright eyes, deep, broad chest, a
large heart girth. large, open nostrils
and a soft, pl;able skin, with plenty of
secretion.
Good milk organs are indicated by q
large, evenly quartered. elastic uddel
running well forward and well ps be
hiud large, tortuous milk veins run
ming well forward and preferably
branched and large, deep milk wells, oi
which there is usually only one on Ell
ther side. More are much appreciated
The teats should be of moderate size
and squarely placed.
| Good quality is indicated by loose
pliable skin, soft silky hair, clean bone
and general refinement, especially II
the head, neck, withers, thighs ant
limbs.
The Cows ,Udder.
The udder of the COW is an impor
| tant organ, but is frequently misjudg
ed !Fleshy udders, no matter how
| large, are undesirable. They posses
small milk celebrating capacity ant
are more subject to disorders thai
moderate sized elastic udders.
Another point that needs emphasis
the importance OF constitutional vigo
in the animal A good milker is one o
the hardest worked animals we have
and unless possessed of a good const
tuition it can never do its maximum
work, and an early breakdown may b
expected.
When purchasing pure bred COW

Pure Bred Stock.
The chief and important advantag
of pure bred animals lies in the fax
that they are capable OF transmittin
their own qualities to their ofsprin
with a far greater degree of certaint
than is the case with animals of Pre-
miscuous breeding. This emphasize
