Cleaning Dairy Utensils,

Probably the most common source Of
contamination and infection of milk is
from the buckets, cans, strainers, bot
ties and other vessels used for its re-
ception and transportation. Every daf-
rymaR should be provided with appa-
ratus for thoroughly scaiding and ster-
ilizing his milk utensils after each use.
Cans should be carefully washed with
a solution of soap or lye. brush being
used to remove the dirt and special
care being taken to remove the dirt
from the seams After this washing i
thorough scalding is necessary.

A speaker at a recent dairymen's
meeting said: To make the dairy
profitable we should have cows that
produce not less than 5000 pounds Of
milk per year. An average of 5000
pounds can easily be reached if all
poor cows are disposed of and if we
will use a strictly dairy breed. We
can no more make dairying profitable
with beef bred cows than we can best

er. We should feed and care for the
COW in such a way as to produce a
large amount of milk. We cannot pro-
duce clean milk from dirty cows, and

some one favorite variety and to keep
up supply by frequent paintings.
In addition to the green podded sorts,
make paintings, one or more, of the vel
low or wax podded varieties, or these
may be chosen in preference to the
green pods, as they do better during
the warm summer season and the pods
are less liable to rust than from the
early spring paintings. OF the yellow

Round Pod Kidney Wax, Pencil Pod

Wax are the best of the round podded
type. Some other new varieties have
larger and more meaty pods, but are
not as uniform in shape or as attrac-
tive in appearance. New White Wax
is the best in quality and is the most
meaty yellow variety with fiat pod.

RAISING THE CALF.
What to Feed to Keep II Strong and
Thrifty


For the past four years the Kansas
experiment station has been expert
menting in raising calves on skim milk
and its substitutes, and among the
conclusions reached are the following:
Strong, thrifty calves cannot be ex-
pected from cows that have received
poor feed and care previous to calving
time
Cows should be fed bone and muscle
food While carrying their calves-oa is,
bran and clover or alfalfa.
Cows to produce strong calves should
so dry from six to eight weeks before
calTing.
TAe.- should lie given succulent food,
as grass, roots or siiise, for three OF
foEr weeks before calving to keep
them in It laxative. healthy condition.
The calf should not he permitted to
drop in a cold or damp place.
If the cows udder is eakei and fe-
verish milk often, but don't milk per-
fectly dry.
Feed the calf whole milk for the first
ten days or two weeks, then gradually
change to skim milk and directly after
feeding milk put q little ground feed
into the calf's mouth, which will soon
teach him to eat.
After he has learned to eat the
change to skim milk may be quite
rapid and the allowance may be in
creased considerably.
A great difference was found in the
individual capacity of calves, vet as a
general rule the calf from three to five
weeks old may be fed from ten to
twelve pounds Of milk daily.
The milk should always be fed warm
and sweet. Next to overfeeding, there
was nothing that was found to cause
greater difficulty with hand fed calves
than feeding sweet milk one meal and
sour the next. They also found that it
was not practicable to feed unpasteur-
fzed skim milk from the creamery.
When calves are fed for future use
fulness in the dairy care should be
taken not to get them too fat. In the
early part Of the feeding period, when
the calves are receiving large amount
of skim milk and comparatively little
grain, there is not much danger of get
ting them too fat, but as the grain IA
ton increases it may be necessary to
feed more nitrogenous grain. This can
be done by changing a part Of the corn
for oats, bran or oilmeal whenever the
calves appear too feshy.
They found that considerable loss
was sustained in putting calves to pas
ture, provided the change from dry
feed to grass was not made gradually.

Does 1t Pay to Raise Mules?

1t certainly does, as there never was
q time when the mule did not COM
mand fair cash price, and as long as
the world continues to grow cotton.
corn and sugar and work the mines we
must have the mule, and just as long as
these industries are kept up the mule
will command better price than any
other of the horse kind compared to
what it costs to raise them, says
writer in the New Southwest. There
is no animal so easy and safe to raise
as the mule. He is less subject to dis
eases than any other animal, he is
easily fattened, he is easily broken to
work, and when it comes to selling him
he is always ready for the cash. 1t
does not take a high standard bred reg
istered mare to raise good mule. OF
course the better the mare as a rule
the better the mule, but any good
roamy fifteen and a half to sixteen
and quarter hands and 1.050 to 1,30O
pound mare bred to good jack will
raise a good mule. All kinds of mules
sell, and sell well, but the good kind
sell much higher and are just as easy
to raise if you will use the right kind
of jacks and good average mare.

Bad Ventilation,

Few dairy farmers really understand
what good ventilation means. 1t is a
common thing to see a hay chute left
open over the cows with the impression
that it will create a current of air to
ventilate the stable. The fact is, a
stable, to be ventilated, must have the
air drawn Off from near the floor. This
is where the bad air accumulates. A
shaft that simply takes the best air
from near the ceiling is Il damage.
Foul air is from 10 to 20 per cent heav-
Ter than pure air. The only system Of
ventilation that is worth the name will
admit pure air from outdoors near the
ceiling and draw off the foul air from
near the floor. says Farm Press. Any
thing short of this should not be called
ventilating the stable.

Matrimonial Commandments.

Matrimony has ten command
ments.
These were studied out by Theo-
dore Parker shortly before the day
Of his wedding. They took the
form Of ten beautiful resolutions
which he inscribed in his journal.
They were as follows:
First.-Never, except for the best
reasons, to oppose my wife's will.
Second.-To discharge all duties
for her sake freely.
Third.-Never to scold.
Fourth.-Never to look cross at
her.
Fifth.-Never to worry her with
commandments.
Sixth.-To promote her piety.
Seventh.-To bear her burdens.
Eighth.-To overlook her foibles.
Ninth.-To save, cherish and for
ever defend her.
Tenth.-To remember her always
in my prayers. Thus, God willing,
we shall be blessed.

An Unfortunate Synonym.

An American girl who studied in
Germany tells of German girl who
was studying English and who used
to write letters in English to her
parents. One day the German girl
handed a letter to her, saying:
Here is the letter which I have
written to my mother. I want you
to read it over and see if it is prop
erly written"
The letter was all right, except
ing the closing phrase, which read
as follows:
''God pickle and keep you"
An investigation proved that the
young German woman in looking
for synonym for preserve" had
come across "pickle."

Dairy Feeds.

The dairy farmer who has to buy
feed should look to the interests of his
soil when considering the feed he
needs. Bran has a greater manurial
value than any other of the common
dairy feeds, and next to it is clover.
The farmer who buys bran from the
wheatfelds of other states is buying
some of the very best fertility Of those
states. When he buys clover from his
neighbor's farm he is buying some of
the very cream from his soil. Besides
receiving a profit from the feed in the
form of milk and butter he will also
more than receive it's first cost in the
amount it increases the plant food ele-
mentS in the manure.

Moisture Content In Butter.
The most talked of topic among but
ter men is that of moisture content,
due largely to the fact that the inter-
nal revenue department has been very
active during the past year in getting
after those creameries that have ex-
ceeded the limit set by law. Some ex-
pSlIlltulS nave rIeCtully UtGl
ed by the South Carolina experiment
station on moisture control, and among
the conclusions reached are the follow
ing:
Butter churned moderately soft and
then overchurned in the wash water
to particles the size of hens eggs av-
eraged triie higher in water content
than normally churned butter.
The melting point of butter fat ap-
pears to have no influence on the Wa
ter content of butter.
The water content of butter made
from very rich cream and medium rich
cream is the same.
Brine sailing increases the water con-
tent of butter about 1 per cent over
dry saIting.
The average of fifteen trials shows
that butter worked two minutes con-
tains 64 per cent more water than but
ter worked four minutes.

BABY BEEF.
What the Stoekmaq Must Feed to So
cure the Highest Quality.


cure the Highest Quality.
To get baby beef of highest quality
it must of course be fed and reared
in certain way, says Professor Thom-
as Shaw. 1t is more Influenced as to
its juiciness by the feeding than BY
anything else. If baby beef is to pos
sess the highest quality of tenderness
and juiciness, animals must be giyen
certain proportion of succulent food. :
The succulence may be furnished by
grass in the summer. In the winter
the two more important sources OF
succulence are corn silage and field
roots. But even when the animals are
grazing they must be well supplied
with meal, as making baby beef is q
continual system of pushing forward
from the day of birth until the animals
are ready for the block.
Corn silage is the cheaper source of
sUcculence as compared with roots for
winter feeding, but it is not in any
sense the safer food of the two. Should
the silage possess much acidity, which
it sometimes does when put up too im-
mature, it is not nearly SO valuable as
when sweet and we'll matured. As
much as twenty pounds daily may be
fed to a steer when of the age OF
twelve to eighteen months. 1t makes
an excellent medium with which to
mix the meal given to them under feed
ing, which is in a sense forced.
But when field roots are fed they
also may be used as the medium in
which the meal may be mixed. They
may be fed either in the sliced or in
the pulped form. When fed freely
they give to the meat juiciness and a
| favor such as can be given from no
other kind of food. There is also an
element of safety about it that comes
| with no other kind of food. 1t would
be difficult matter to injure the di-
gestion of cattle beast by feeding 1t
too much roots, provided the roots had
become sufficiently matured. When
! fed roots freely in the winter and then
| carried on with grain and suitable
grass during the summer, the quality
of the meat from animals so young, II

Feeding Sheep For Market.

In feeding sheep for market avoid
feeding corn in excess. 1 think that is
one of the great faults of our sheep
feeders-they feed too much of the car
bonaceous ration, says New York
breeder. 1t is perhaps true that one
can put flock of sheep into the barn
and make greater gain per day for
reasonable time with corn than with
any other kind of food, but one that Is
not making lean meat, simply mutton

kind which will produce better quail

LUMBAGO.
Eiet and Treatment For This Distress
ing Affection.

Eiet and Treatment For This Distress
ing Affection.
! This distressingly painful affec-
ton is muscular rheumatism located
! in the large muscles of the loin.
| The attack usually comes on quite
suddenly, sometimes selling the suf-
! ferer in the middle of a walk with
out the slightest premonition- The
pain is intense and is increased by
| The slightest motion of the body.
The victim of lumbago or any
other form of muscular rheumatism
becomes painfully aware of the fact,
which perhaps he had not before
realized, of the great fexibility of
the body and Of the intimate rela-
| ton between the different parts of
the body, for it seems impossible
for him to make any motion what
ever of the head or of the arms
without feeling sharp twinge in
the back. He dare not turn in bed,
lift his head or even raise his arms,
for every movement seems to be
originated and performed by the
sore back muscles.
There may be a little swelling of
the affected region, but usually
there is no external sign of the
great well of misery lying just be-
meath the skin. The pain lasts a
few days or a week and may then
disappear as rapidly as it came, al
though there is often considerable
soreness or an occasional twinge for
day or two.
Lumbago may be distinguished
from pain in the back due to other
causes by the fact that the agony is
extreme whenever the slightest
movement is made and is absent or
at least bearable when the patient
lies perfectly quiet in bed, and also
that the muscles are tender when
gently squeezed. The affection is
more common in men than in wonl-
en- and attacks adults chiefly, the,
muscular rheumatism Of children
taking the form usually of wryneck.
Why this should be so it is difficult
to say.
Lumbago occurs more frequently
in equity persons, although that is
no explanation, since we do not
know why the loins should suffer
in equity individuals more than the
muscles of the neck.
In mild cases the drinking of an
abundance of water to which some
baking soda is added may give a
measure Of relief. Gentle rubbing
Of the parts with a cloth dipped in
ammonia and hot water will often
mitigate the suffering, and after the
rubbing a cloth wet with this
solution may be laid on the parts
and covered with a hot watef bottle.
The diet should be light, without
meat or highly seasoned food and
especially without beef tea or meat
broths Of any kind. The bowels
should be kept open.
One who is subject to lumbago
should be careful to avoid a chill
and should live frugally, drinking
only plain water or milk.
Sometimes the attacks are pre-
vented or made less frequent by the
wearing of a broad flannel belt over
the underclothing.
