Our dairy consists of pure bred Jer-
seys, and we use our best endeavors to
keep them free from filth. The card
and brush and sawdust for bedding are
in constant use. The manure is drop
ped into the basement directly under
meath, on which swine are kept to pre-
vent heating.
The stable is well lighted and ven
tilated, and our cows have always been
free from disease. We have never lost
one except from accident, and since
they have been dehorned accidents are
very much less frequent. We water
but once a day, at II a. NJ, several
rods away at fountain that seldom
freezes, supplied. from warm spring
of pure running water, except in rough
weather. Then they are watered in the
barn from a deep well. At no time are
they left to SILVER in the cold, and they
appear to enjoy the exercise. We feed
only at morning and evening. The
first feed in the morning is ensilage
then mixed hay after milking. In the
evening, also after milking, we feed
hay, oat hay or Hungarian after grain
with most satisfactory results. as they
have ample time to masticate and di-
gest the same.
We still use the deep setting process
for raising cream and allow twenty
four hours, and if faithfully done there

there is more money in selling milk at

The Su1tan's Rehuke.

An ambassador of a well known Eu-
ropean monarch was riding In the
streets of Constantinople when one of
the sultan's carriages rolled by. See
ing it was guarded, his curiosity got
the better of him, and when the car
riage reached him he was daring
enough to peep in at the passenger.
He was surprised and panied to re-
ceiye blow in the face from an at
tendant in charge. Mad with rage, he
demanded audience of the sultan. The
sultan listened attentively and for a
moment appeared lost in thought. At
last he spoke: MY dear -, have
gone carefully into the case and see
exactly how 1t stands, You are, of
course, gentleman. Therefore you
would never have committed such a
breach of good manners as you al
lege to have taken place. Therefore no
attendant could possibly have struck
you. The whole affair seems to be a
product of your fancy. Let US dis
miss it."

Dairy Talk Of Today

The University of Illinois has made
records of o54 cows for year. The
lowest 139 yielded 1887 pounds of but
ter fat each during the year. The best
1870 produced 301 pounds.
Licensing Bulls.
A writer in the Michigan Farmer adj
vocates the licensing of bulls. This is
the way he reasons on the question::
IF a license fee Of IS or $40 per year
was required for each sire in use it
would, believe, prove panacea for
the evil and work much Improvement
in the dairy stock of the country. The
owner of a scrub bull would not pay
the fee, and his animal would in con-
sequence be debarred from service.
The owner Of good bull. on the other
hand, could well afford to take out a
license for his animal, as he would no
longer have to meet the competition of
cheap scrub bulls, and, in my opinion,
the stock of community would show
such steady improvement that the
plan, when once given thorough trial,
would lind general favor"

unsafe and unbusinesslike. It is sur

Cleanliness In the Dairy.

Cleanliness is the first law which
should be observed by every man who
in any way manufactures Or handles
dairy products. Any condition which
will promote this end effectively should
be established. The simpler these con-
ditions can be made the better I'm
clean dairy utensils are among the
greatest sources of contamination of
milk This contamination is due to
the presence of undesirable bacteria.
The undesirable bacteria are those that
produce taints in milk and that exist
principally in filth lodged on the sur
face and in the crevices of dairy uten
sis. They are minute organisms which
have the power of multiplying very
rapidly under favorable conditions

PRODUCING PURE MILK.

Samples That Won Medals at the Ma
fional Dairy ShosT.
The department of agriculture has
Just issued bulletin by Professor c.
B. Lane on the milk and cream exhibit
at the national dairy show at Chicago.
Professor Lane tells how the milk and
cream which won the medals were
made and draws some sound conclu-
sions from his facts. He says:
Gold Medal Milk.
The herd consists of choice pure bred
and grade Jerseys, numbering about
thirty milking cows. 1t is the practice
of the owner to raise heifer calves from
the best cows. The barn is well lighted
and ventilated, the floors are of ce-
ment, and the walls and ceiling are
kept thoroughly whitewashed. The
manure from the stables is hauled d.
rect to the field.
The feed used in this dairy consists
of corn silage (well eared), shredded
corn stoyer and mixed hay for rough
age. the grain part consisting of wheat
bran and middlings and buckwheat
middlings. besides the corn in the ST.
lage. Care is taken during milking to
have as little dust as possible in the
barn. The cows are kent thoroughly
clean. The milk from s...l COW is
weighed after milking, and as soon as
small can is filled it Is taken to a
separate building used only for han
ding milk. Here the milk is strained
through wire strainer and three cloth
strainers and stored in cold water un-
til bottled. After bottling the milk Is
placed in cases and packed in ice
ready for delivery. All dairy utensils
are rinsed, washed, scalded with boil
ing water and drained. The herd is
tuberculin tested, and great care is ex-
ercised to keep it healthy.
Silver Medal Milk.
The Darn Is a frame structure of or
binary type. The herd of twenty eight
cows is Of mixed breeding and includes
Jersey, Holstein and Shorthcrn grades.
The cows are fed we'll balanced ra.
ton the year round. When the milk
was produced for the contest the ra-
ton consisted Of millet hay and cut
corn slower, supplemented with CORE
and cob meal, dried brewers grains
and molasses feed. The milk was pro-
duced and handled in a Clearly man
ner, cooled and aerated Immediately
after being drawn and stored in spring
water.
The Gold Medal Cream.
The milk from which the cream was
taken was the mixed milk of herd
made up of pure bred Jerseys. Guern-
seys, Ayrshires and Observation-Disclosures.
The grain fed consisted of a mixture of
400 pounds of wheat bran, 100 pounds
Of cottonseed meal, 100 pounds Of corn
meal, six to eight pounds of this mix
ture being fed to each COW. For rough
age each COW received forty pounds Of
silage and five pounds of hay. Preyi-
Gus to milking the udders were wiped
with a damp cloth, and the milk was
drawn into covered milk pals, After
being drawn the milk was taken at
once to the dairy, separated by means
Of centrifugal separator and immedi-
ately cooled and iced

All Are Necessary.

There are many things that enter
into the development Of the dairy COW,
and possibly if one was dropped the
best Of results could not be obtained.
The man who uses that part of his
body above his ears the most freely
usually succeeds best. We have come
to believe that a large part is due to
the feed. The organs of digestion, like
the other organs and muscles of the
body, are developed best by constant
use. The breeder who through neglect
has not provided in some way for the
emergencies is shortsighted, says a
writer in Kimball's Dairy Farmer. We
all know that when a COW once slrinks
In her milk 1t is hard to get her back.
Quite often it is impossible even with
the best of feed, so it stands us in
hand to provide in some way for these
times. Either have some soiling crops
growing or enough silage stored ND to
supplement the short pasture of sum-
mer and to supply succulent feed for
winter use.

II the churn is too full churning will
be failure simply because there is
not room enough for the cream to OBJ
tain proper motion. It is not enough
for the cream to slide around the churn
In smooth and gentle manner. It
must fall with chug and thug enough
to enable the fat globules to come close
enough to each other to unite and form
butter granules. 4 desire to save the
extra work that would come from two
churnings is frequently responsible for
poor results. The extra quart of cream
over and above the proper amount in
the churn can easily choke the ma.
chine sufficiently to string out the
work to a wearisome length. Two
quick, easy churnings are better than
one long one. A churn half full will
do better and quicker work than one
two-thirds full. The time will be short
er. the butter will come better and the
buttermilk will show less butter fat
when the churn is not overloaded, says

The Revolver.

The revolver is of dubious service in
war. It's only function there is as a
cavalry weapon. Indeed, it is an evo-
luton of the medieval purpose to pro-
vide horse soldiers with firearm In
the cavalry the weapon is effective
only up to fifty yards. It has no value
for hunting. The average man can do
more execution on birds and beasts
with a slingshot The only purpose
which the revolver serves is to kill
another man. and even for that pup
pose its usefulness is overestimated.--
