DAIRY BRIEFS.

Feeding milk too cold or too much at
one time will cause scours.
A half cupful Of wheat -four and a
raw egg in the milk given to a calf
with scours win often prove effectual.
Cows will vary considerably In the
amount of solids in their milk and
especially in the amount Of butter
fats.
The kitchen has lot Of odors which
will not improve the milk.
Every dairy utensil should be thor
oughly washed as soon as emptied,
then rinsed and well scalded with boil
ing water. If, In addition, they can
have good sun bath In sweet, airy
place, so much the better.
Select a dairy breed and stick by it.
Be sure 1t Is dairy breed.
Wedding out the poor animals and
keeping the good ones will soon build
up herd
1t is better to wash the milk out of
the butter In the churn than to work it
out on the worker.
1t is important to ascertain how
much food 1t requires to keep the COW
in good, thrifty condition, how much
food beyond this Is converted into
milk and at what point she begins to
lay on flesh.
Keep the calf pens clean and dry.
Calves never do well In dirty, damp
quarters.
1t Is easier to keep cows from getting
out by fixing the fences good before
hand than 1t IL to break them Of the
bad habit after they once get It.
Cottonseed meal produces the largest
yield and the richest cream Of any
food that can be used. but care must
be taken not to give In large quaint
ties, az 1t Is very likely to cause scours.
You always need a dairy thermome-
ter. but especially at this time Of the
year. There il nothing better to tell
you when the milk is cool.
Training and feeding may be made
Ia valuable means of developing the
capabilities Of COWS and a preliminary
step to their improvement by breeding.
A little grain Will help even on good
pasture.
A good cow usually bears the marks
|of her excellence with her.
Leaving butter fat in the milk is
throwing money to the pigs.
BY kneading and rubbing the udder
or young heifers and drawing the teats
a good form may be given to this or
gan, and the milk secretion may be
considerably increased.

DAIRY PESTS.
kcts That Trouble the Cow and
Hov, 20 Get Rid Of Them.


How to Get Rid Of Them.
me of the best lectures given to the
pter dairy course students at Cor
| Il university was by Professor NJ. V.
ncerland upon insects, in which
trymen are interested. The horn fly
metimes causes serious annoyance to
ws. 1t looks like the house fly. but
smaller. These flies cluster upon the
Iorn. but do not eat the horn. as many
Ieople seem to think. They suck blood
from the animal. The flies breed In
fresh COW manure The eggs hatch,
and the maggots grow into flies within
two weeks. Thus there may be sew
eral broods, and they may become
serious pest by their rapid increase In
numbers.
One of the best remedies is to use
repellent spray. This may be made
from one pound soap dissolved in one
gallon hot water. which Is thoroughly
mixed with two gallons kerosene OIL
This should then be diluted at the rate
of one part of the solution TO six parts
water. Crude petroleum Is also good
to drive of these flies as well as to kill
certain other insect pests, such as lice.
The OK MARBLE fly is the insect which
is responsible for the large Jumps or
punches on the backs Of cattle in sum
mer. This fly resembles the house fly.
but Is larger. Its eggs are laid on the
hairs on the legs. II used to be thought
that the eggs Matched near where they
were laid, on the back, and the grubs
bored in through the hide, but now 1t is
believed that the eggs are licked of
the legs into the mouth, Matching In
the alimentary canal, and the grubs
work from there out as far as the skin
where they grow and make the objec
tionable Jumps, each grub having ;
hole through which 1t may breathe.
One remedy is to smother the grut
by plugging mp the hole in the ski

BUTTER AND CHEESE.

There Is usually good market, even
In a small town, for cottage cheese-a
good way of using some of the sour
milk, but do not let the milk get boiling
hot or even much scalded, or the curd
will be tough and will not make such
nice. creamy cheese.
Best Way 20 Store Butter.
In series of experiments with pack
ages In which to store butter II was
shown that the tubs coated inside with
paraffin held butter most perfectly.
All untreated tubs became moldy, even
including those scalded with hot brine.
soaked In pure brine and In brine con-
tanning strong solution of formalin
An the tubs were filed with butter
from the same churning and kept In
the same manner
Recipe For Cream Cheese.
Here is an English recipe for making
cream cheese: Take quart Of cream
or II not desired very rich add thereto
one pint Of new milk, warm 1t in hot
water till about 90 degrees, add ia
blespoonful Of rernet, let it stand till
thick. then break 1t slightly with a
spoon and place 1t In a frame In which
has previously been put fine canvas
cloth, press 1t slightly with weight.
let 1t stand few hours. then put a
flner cloth In the frame. A little pow
dered salt may be put over the cloth
1t will be fit for use In day or two
cheesy Taste In Butter.
The cheesy taste In butter is due to
the imperfect removal of the butter
milk by washing. If the churning is
stopped when the butter is in small
grains and before 1t Is gathered into a
large compact mass, the buttermilk
drawn of and the butter well washed
while In this state, the buttermilk is
then effectually removed.
Improving Butter Quality.
The dairyman and farm wife who
often find the butter quality injured
might keep In mind this list Of ways
BY which the injury often results: BY
using improper vessels for holding the
milk when milking. BY using milk
too soon after the birth OF the calf.
BY failure to properly wash and scald
and sterilize all vessels coming In con-
tact with MIX. BY giving the cows
bad water and having a disagreeable
odor or an unhealthy quality. BY al
lowing the COWS to wallow In the mud
or IN water In the summer, thereby
coating the udder with dirt containing

SOME DAIRY HINTS.
Ration For a Heifer caif--A Cure For
Sore Teats.

Sore Tests.
In rearing heifers for the future
dairy herd we should feed them in
way to avoid the fat forming habit.
Fat calves are pretty to look at, put
are not being handled to make good
cows. A calf that is fed to lay on rat
will, when it reaches the age OF mix
production, continue the habit. divert
ing the feeds to fat rather than to
milk. A heifer calf should be fed
ration largely protein In content-sweet
skim milk, oats, bran, oiimeal ana
clover hay being among the best feeds,
says a writer In Kimbalrs Dairy
Farmer. The skim milk fresh from the
separator will be the best source for
the major part Of the ration up to four
months of age. 1t should be fed to the
calves in galvanized pals. These
should be thoroughly washed and
scalded daily to avoid concentrating
the milk with germs of disease. The
| feeding should be done where the
calves cannot reach each others ears
70 suck them.
In dry teat milking we often md
cows with short teats that cannot be
MIXED in that way, or cow may have
tender teats that will not submit to
this style of milking. Again, we have
during the spring and fall months chap
ped and scratched teats that cause the
cows to kick. To avoid all this trouble
and vet keep within the rules of sani-
tary milking, buy five or ten pound
can of yellow vaseline. With this at
your milk bench in an open box you
can make the cows teats sound and as
soft as velvet.
The freshening heifer can be treated
daily for some time before freshening
amounting her teats and handling them
at the same time. In doing this you
will have no breaking-in period She
will submit to being MIXED like an ole
COW. To use the vaseline properly
take an amount the size OF bean or G
little larger. owing to the size of teat:
to be treated. With the free han(
brush off the udder then anoint the
teats with the vaseline and milk the
cow You will find that the teats be
come SO soft that they can be milket
with the greatest ease. There will b'
no sores.

The Small silo.

Writing Of small silos in Farmers
Advocate, W. r. McSparran says: l
would not recommend any one TO build
silo less than eight feet in diameter
Then In feeding silage it is necessary
that enough be used that the whole
surface can be fed from daily. SO If
one has a silo eight feet in diameter he
should calculate on having eight or
ten. or. better, a dozen. mature animals
to which to feed silage.
