Work in tn. Farm Dairy.


Too many farmers wives do not
know that sailing is one Of the most
important things in ALTERNATING.
Every woman whose butter does not
bring the highest price should attend
the district institute or, better still, a
short course at the state experiment
station. She will learn some things
about buttermaking she never dreamed
of.
Creameries are becoming more strict
In their demands for sweet cream. This
is not easy to produce in hot weather,
ana nothing but the cleanest possible
methods should be used.
Milk that is allowed to stand until
1t cools naturally will not keep as well
as that which is cooled by water or
ice Immediately after it comes from the
COW.
By setting the cream can in very
cold water and stirring 1t frequently it
will soon get down to 80 degrees and
that is pretty safe.
Not long ago we passed dairy
where the man and his wife were milk
ing herd Of fourteen fine looking
rat shorthorn cows. Most of them
were In pretty fair condition for beef.
The dairyman complained that al
though he fed his cows well he did
not seem to get enough rich milk to
make the business pay. No wonder!
If the COW is of her feed, droops or
shows and signs Of illness. she should
be taken from the herd at once. It
is mistake to change a cows food
suddenly and radically. If the COW is
thriving feed should never be changed.
Newspapers wrapped around milk
cans will keep them cool while being
taken to the creamery.

Have Your seed re.t.a.

The United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, In cooperation with the Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture and Ex-
pertinent Station, has installed at Co
lumbia, Mo-, laboratory for the test
Ing Of seeds for Missouri farmers. This
laboratory will be thoroughly equipped
and 1t will be possible for the reports
on seed samples sent in to be returned
Immediately. AL that Is necessary is
for the farmer to send in the sample
with his name attached and a letter
accompanying 1t stating whether he
wishes simply quality test made or
whether he wishes both quality and
termination test. This work will be
free Of charge for all farmers and
seedsmen.
The farmers Of Missouri are vast
ing annually thousands of dollars on
impure seeds and seeds of low vitality
and the damage from weeds which are
being introduced is scarcely to be over
emphasized. Thus far the farmers
have been almost at the mercy of I'm.
scrupulous seed dealers, and it is for
this reason that this laboratory is be-
Ing Installed. 1t will be possible under
this arrangement for farmer to write
to seed companies for samples and quo
tattons, send these samples to Colum.

Farmers should study to know the
weeds that grow on their farms. One

In the Northern States alfalfa can be
more easily started In the early part
of August than in April, as when
given the late planting opportunity is
afforded during the preceding months
to kill most Of the weed seeds that
may be lodged in the soil. The soil
should be put in the best of filth and
the seed either drilled In or dragged
enough SO that there will be sufficient
moisture for purposes of termination.
1t is well to remember that alfalfa,
like red clover, does not do well on
low or undrained soils
