BUYING YOUNG cows.

The most profitable time to buy a
mich cow is when she is 4 or s years
old, for the next four years will be
her prime; and, by h time h is
4 q old one a judge of her value.
It is a good plan to buy with ones
eyes wide open. and a young COW that
has been q regular breeder and has
dropped two or three calves, will likely
be q sure breeder for six or eight years
more. l am always on the look out
for promising young COWS, Just after
they have dropped their second calf.
At that time I can see udder develop
ment, and other external signs of a
good mixer, and at that age the
young COW has either been made, or
ruined. Another point I am very par
ticular about is the man who raised
the cow. I want to know his record
as well as the cows. If he has been al
good and careful feeder, and a good
handler, the chances are that his
young cows are in the pink of con-
dition TO go right ahead and do well
for their owner. It's the bringing UP
that counts with cows, n when L
find the right man n the right sort
of young cows / want, / v haggle
about price. The results OF three or
four years of careful work and hand
ling are summed up in these young
COWS and they are worth usually all
that is asked for them. / would sell
off the second rate COWS this winter
ard give two for one first rate ami
NAL. While most people dislike to part
with a promising young cow, yet $75
or $50 looks mighty big and this price
usually gets the pick.

A CROSSING OF SWORDS.

"A beautiful morning, isn't it?" Won't
you join me?"
'Tt was impossible to refuse him:
but Drysdale had no thought of re-
fusal-he rather welcomed the oppor-
tunity TO cross swords with his rival,
to test his skill, to find out in how
far that air OF triumph vas justified
by the strength behind 1t. So he took
tho little cylinder OF paper as he re-
turned the greeting. and sat down ON
the sill OF his window.

Tremaine. II In not 90 I'm the tropics

Drysdale felt the badness OF the
question, and knew that he was not
proceeding as deftly as he should, that
he was fencing clumsily; but opposed
to this was a burning desire to know
more about this man, to probe into his
past. Not by the CULVER OF a lash did
Tremaine indicate that he found the

LOCATION OF MILK HOUSE.

Convenience Is one of the essentials
Of the milk house, but when that brings
IT dangerously nea the feeding pens
of the hogs, I Ear hardly see the wis
dom OF the location. l recently visited
q dairy where from twenty to thirty
cows were MIXED the rear around,
The barns, feeding yards and milk
house were located forty rods from the
house. and the milk house was with
in fifty feet Of where h hogs were
fed. The cream was churned here,
and the SKINNED milk was piped into
the troughs in the feed lots. E.:e whole
work was done by men. n h condi-
ton thereabouts was not very assur-
Ing. It is surprising what chances
some men take with their milk and
cream, and probably they do IL on tho
theory that the consumer cannot easi-
ly detect or ocate any defects In milk
or butter. II will be a good thing for
the dairy business when all buildings
and all food products, N that in
cludes milk, cream, butter and cheese,
will be brought under state or federal

DIEFICULT

There has been more complaint this
fall than usual about difficult churn-
ing. The writer recently visited q dairy
farm In Fond du Lac county, Wiscon4
sin. where fifteen cows are being MIXED
The churntnR here takes from one and
a half hours to two hours; and as It
is done by hand power 1t actually wears
out the whole family before the hurn
ing is completed. This family makes a
fine grade of separated cream butter,
and gets two or three cents above Elgtn
creamery prices for all they make.
n they do not resort to some OF
the usual practices for helping slow
ear The buttermaker here says you
cannot get nicely grained butter from
quick churning, and really about one
hoursfs the time Il should take, when
flrst-rate quality butter was desired.
Longer churning does not injure the
butter. but It Is hard o. the n who
turns the churn. 1t was really interest
ing to watch h methods employed on
the farm to secure the finest grade OF
butter. The COWS were MIXED at 9
n. m, and the milk was carried u OF
the cow stables promptly, and taken to
the separator room. There a lusty boy
"a ready with the machine and the
separation was quick work. The n
serious fault I found was. the bowl
OF the separator was cleaned Just be-
fore the milk was brought into the
milk room, instead of being cleaned at
after each separation. The milk
were handled the same way, that
is the skim milk stood In them for
twelve to twenty-four hours. and
then when the cans were wanted
for use they were emptied, and
merely rinsed out with cold water,

1 have never tasted a more de-
licious favored butter than that made
on this farm. yet these s~lovenly meth.
DDS will surely tell I'm time. and they
are apt to ruin a good business.
We discussed the causes Of long
churning. First a small churn was
used, and the cream was churned every
day. 1t was then concluded that the
cream did not stand long enough, and
no better results. Then the quantity
of cream put into the churn vas re-
duced, until the churn was not more
than half full, but this die not help
matters. The cream vas brought to a
higher temperature, and ripened up
more, but the trouble was not found
here. These cows have been milking
now from seven to nine months, and
right here probably is the cause Of the
churnability OF the cream; and
by using separator cream there II
a tendency to churn before the cream
is sufficiently ripened. To obviate these
troubles, one should nave two or three
cows come fresh in October, and In
addition to that. carefully test the
cream to see that 1t is the proper de.
gree of sourness, before attempting to
churn ii. The buttermaker on this
Fond du Lac county farm believes In
churning at the lowest temperature OF
cream possible, and before the cream
gets much acid. / must admit that fine
butter is made here, under these meth

saTy when proper conditions are OBJ
