Dairy Cleanliness.

1t is gratifying to notice that some
dairymen wash the udders and teats
of the cows at every milking time,
every chance of filth entering the
milk, but such dairymen get good
prices, which are secured by their
reputation for skillful management
of their COWS and their products. The
Importance of putting upon the mar
ket milk that is clean and of good
quality should be a special effort on
the part of dairymen, for the reason
than the consumer is willing to pay
more for it If convinced of the fact
of the superiority of the product.
Milk passes through so many hands
from the cow Io the consumer as to
render the matter of obtaining pure
and clean milk difficult one. The
dairyman consoles himself with the
fact that he strained the milk before
selling it, but the strainer does not
remove soluble filth. Any substance
that is dissolved by the milk will re-
main in the milk
Dairymen are aware of the fact
that it is not unusual for a COW to
get down on the floor of her stall
to rest, without regard to whether
the floor is clean or covered with
manure and her udder and teats may
have rested during the night ON a
heap of fresh manure. The COW is
not as clean as the hog, so far as Sc
lecting suitable place for resting
is concerned and where the dairyman
himself is careless and does not keep
the stalls clean, as well as brush the
cows and wash the teats and udders,
it is almost impossible to have clean
milk. That cleanliness adds to the
profits has been demonstrated by
many leading dairymen, who find it
profitable to sell only the best and
cleanest milk they can offer, the best
price being secured when the farmer
can sell his product himself or when
the dealer handles milk only from
we'll regulated farms.-The Epito-

Donlt slde.Line Your Pirs.

garded his hogs as side line to his
business of grain growing. He
raised number every year, but they
were very scrubby stock; yet he al
ways looked to his hog money for
taxes, Insurance, fence repairs, etc,
says Farm and Fireside. An old
schoolmate called on him one day,
and In one Of their chats he pointed
out to him how he was losing money
In raising such a poor quality of
hogs. He told him he would not
pave meat animal on his farm that
was not of the best quality. They
looked well and sold we'll when
young, and invariably topped the
market when matured. He advised
him to sell OFF all his scrub stock
and buy three or four first-class
young sows and raise pigs he would
be proud Of He said Don't side
line your pigs any more, but make
them leading product Of the highest
quality, and they will make you q
greater profit than the best crops OF
grain you grow" This farmer dates
the beginning Of his prosperity from

Poultry Manure Valuable.

One of the best and most avail
able manures is that which our poul-
try supplies. 1t costs no ready money
and is an article of value to ANY farm.
er who will utilize 1t. How to save,
mix and use this manure has been a
study with scores of farmers during
the past few years. In nearly every
farmers yard there are to be seen
from 100 to 200 fowls, and very
often they have no proper shelter
and the droppings are lost. Often
no thought is given to gathering the
manure for fertilizing purposes, and
in the spring the owner will pay from
$50 to SIS per ton for guano, while
the poultry manure that goes to
equally rich in plant food and even
better than some brands of so-called
pure guano.
Poultry manure has the most value
when kept in the dry; its value is
also largely dependent on the kind
of food which the fowls consumed
while making the deposit. AS a rule,
the poultry are given richer food
than any other farm stock. Wheat,
rye, corn, also scraps from the table
add to their rations, hence their drop
pings must possess considerable fer.
tilizing value.
The poultry should be kept to-
gether as much as possible. The
floor should be kept dry and covered
weekly with ashes. Regularly every
week it should be removed and stored
in a dry place, shoveled over and
enough absorbent added TO keep IL
from heating. 1t is astonishing now
mach accumulates If it is to be
drilled, the manure should be sifted,
otherwise it may be applied directly
from the wagon. If farmers who
keep poultry and let the manure go
to waste would try this plan they
would save enough the first year in
fertilizer bills TO build a poultry
house and fence a yard for their
private fertilizer factory.
