LIVE STOCK ON THE FARM.
BY F. c. Minklsr, N. ]. Experiment Station.

It is safe to say that poor cows are doing
more injury to the New jersey farmer than
all the trusts and milk market concerns
combined. In many cases the reason why
the making of milk is Improbable is be-
cause the cows are boarders rather than
because the price Of milk is low, and seem
ingly the only way to impress the fact is to
encourage the dairyman to keep individual
COW records and tins find ont accurately
just what each eritter is doing. We must
have fewer boarders in our dairy stables
and more 10 600 pound COWS, if any meas
ure of success is desired. Poor COWS keep
their owners hustling and even then it is
difioult to make both ends meet.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1907-12-26

This practice takes but few minutes
and the results of fair and impartial trial
Of the method will astonish you. Go about
the udder in about the same way that the
barber does in giving you facial massage
aud see how much more milk will be
elaborated. Regularity of the milking
time has always been recognized, while all
know that the cows should be MIXED by
the same person every day. Noise and dis
turbance, loud talking and rough language
is not condutive to an increased flow, but
rather kindness and quietness in the dairy
stable is worth many dollars to the owner
of COWS. It is not wholly necessary for the
average cow owner to learn more about bis
business, but rather the bringing OF pressure
TO bear that will prompt him TO do as we'll
as he knows how The farmer above all
else should have the courage of his own
and if he would do things as
well as he knew how;if be would do less and
do that better, there is no doubt but that
he would live in a more healthy atmos-
phere, and furthermore, he would have
more real profits.

Eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Clement
Reeves, of West Deptford township, passed
away on Saturday last. For twelve years
Miss Reeves was teacher in Woodbury.
high school, her speciality being higher
mathematics. At the end of the school
year in 1905 tuberon sssis developed, and she
Board of Education granted her leave of
absence for one year. She spent that per-
iod at various sanitariums, but without
permanent relief, and for the last six
months has been at her home. She was an
active member of the Central Baptist
Church from its organization. Miss Reeves
was strong personality and welded vast
influence for good. As teacher she had
the love and respect Of her pupils, and al
ways possessed the confidence Of the Board
of Education While the public schools
have in her death lost so valued servant,
yet it is in the Reeves home that the blow
falls with almost crushing force, and the
bereaved family have the sincere sympathy
of all. The funeral service was held at the
Reeves homestead on Tuesday afternoon,
and was largely attended. members of the
Board of Education, teachers of the city,
the high school Alumni and pupils of the
schools and many friends. Rev. G. A. Jen-
kens delivered the discourse; the inter-
ment was in EgliDgton.

Late Summer and early Fall usually
finds the pigs most susceptible to swine
plague, cholera, ETC., simply because the
owners take no precantion TO insure health
and continued growth in the youngsters.
The pens are filthy and unsanitary; she
yards are all rooted up and stagnant water
is present; the fences are not whitewashed
nor cleansed in any way and seemingly
disease is invited through many channels.
II your pens a.e in this condition, your
animals unhealthy, hairless and lack thrift
and vigor, clean their quarters rather than
resorting to buying false famed cure-alls.
stock foods, dips, ETC, for even their appli-
cation will be of no value unless you re-
move the cause of this filthy condition
While swine are usually reckoned as scav-
eDgers, there is no foundation nor reason
for allowing their sleeping quarters and run
yards to be dens of disease germ breeding
or microbe uests.

MIR. HIRAM sTANGER,

One Of the best known residents of Glass
boro, died suddenly last Thursday evening,
aged 70 years, Mr.. Stanger attended the
meeting of Hiawatha Tribe of Red Men, as
was his custom and was taken i'll in the
lodge room He was assisted to his home
Just across the street, and after putting on
his house coat and slippers, lay down on
the couch and in few minutes passed
away. Mr. Stanger had been afflicted with
heart disease for some time and this was
the cause of his death. For many years be
followed farming, but retired nearly twenty
years ago. He was a member of the Board
of Education, and of Howard Lodge K OF
p, Hiawatha Tribe of Red Men and Glass
boro Lodge of Odd Fellows. He had been
Treasurer of the two former ORGANIZATIONS

NJ. P Church, and ole of its Trustees. The
deceased was highly respected, and in ad-
dition to the positions above mentioned be

prise to Mr. Stanger. The funeral was

leaves a widow and six children, who have
the sympathy of she community in their
sudden bereavement.

The milking machine is rapidly gaining
publicity, but ] doubt very much if the
small dairyman can we'll afford to install
the expensive necessary equipment. It is
evident that the farmer must not spend all
his money in buying machinery, etc., and
if we undertake to buy everything shat
comes along, it is reasonable to believe that
our pocket books will always be stripped
and that we will have goodly number OF
unpaid interest drawing notes at the bank.
I saw one OF those foot power machines in
operation the other day, one where the man
was working both his hands and feet in the
milk getting process, and / am satisfied
that if he had started at the outset with an
ordinary milk pail and stool that be would
have saved time The uddeTs must be man
ipulated during the process; the strippings
MIXED by hand and when one counts the
time taken in washing and caring for the
outfit, counts the cost OF repairs and money
invested, believe shat the old method, the
arms strong machine, is the most economical
for the small dairyman. With large con-
Germs, am not prepared to say, but for
myself would hesitate before taking chances
Wait until the inventors get the machines
on definite working and paying basis.
Milking a COW is considered TO be an easy
process, but how many mllkess are genuine
masters Of their profession. There is more
to this art than one thinks. Some men can
get great deal more milk from the same
COWS, while others prompt the COW to dry
up by failing TO use Judgment aud the right
meBhod II E Cook, Of Denmark, N. ",
is satisfied that the quarters containing the
most milk should be relieved of their fluid
first, maintaining that this viii tend to-
ward making more balanced udder BY in
creased pressure and extension Of the small
quarters The majority Of mixers, how
ever, milk the teats containing the least
amounts first since this process is somewhat
easier. This suggestion is worth needing
for Mr. Cook has noticed results from its
continued practoe. OF course, il means
more when needed with cows that are
working to their limit, for the pressure
noticed on the udder Of q hoarder amounts
20 very little. The working or 1nanipula-
tion Of the adder after ths first inflow is
removed will oftentimes add 70 She amount
aecreted and in some COWS makes . very
great difference
