DAIRY SCHOOL COURSE.
1t Is Absolutely Essential to the Man
Wso Would Run Creamery.

The day is past when a full fiedged
butter or cheese maker could be pro
duced in two or three months, and
even an apprenticeship Of year in
: good factory is not any longer con-
sidered sufficient for the man who is
10 take charge Of creamery or
cheese factory, and do the right thing
by his employer. In these days of
strong competition, it is absolutely
necessary for the butter and cheese
maker to be as well Informed as it is
possible for him to be in order to
hold his own, and a course at one
Of the dairy schools will mean
great help to him; in fact, he is
seriously handicapped without such
a course. That is not saying that
the old butter and cheese maker, who
never went to a dairy school, is not
in many cases as competent as the
one who did, says the Northwestern
Agriculturist, he oftentimes is, and
sometimes great deal better, but il
should be remembered that he
started in vixen the factory way of
making butter and cheese was quite
new one, and by keeping his eyes
open and doing more or less ex-
perrin entiEg at the expense Of his
employers. he was enabled to make
If himself a first-class man. Many
Of his class to-day realize the i'm
portance of a dairy school course,
and, as of late years, goodly num-
Der of the students in the school this
winter will be found to be old, ex-
pesienced makers. Surely, if such
men can and do derive any benef:
from dairy school course, the
younger men derives still more

RAMSRACkLE DAIRYING.
IL Is the Kind That Does Not Pay
Get Good Cows.

No one would keep a hired man
who insisted on earning less than
half Of his wages, yet it is fully as
unbusinesslike to keep cows that will
not pay for the food they consume, de-
clares Farm and Home. Many of US
just aim to keep a certain number
of COWS. When we dispose of one we
purchase another to fill the vacancy.
She may be better than the one sold,
but the probabilities are that she is
not so good.
AS to breed, some are Durhams,
some Herefords, some Jerseys and
some grades. We breed one year to
a Durham. the next to Jersey and
the next to any mongrei that happens
to be convenient, because the service
fee is less. Each breed has its merits
fully admitted by all fair-minded men,
but one of the greatest evils against
which we have to contend is the tend
ency to cross the breeds. In pioneer
days it was often unavoidable, but in
this day it is entirely wrong.

Our gutter behind. the cows is Of
cement. On the outside adjoining
the barn we have manure bin. 1t is
SKIS feet in size. The floor and the
sides to a height of two feet are also
of concrete Above this, boards are
used, except space in the middle,
which is left open for convenience in
loading. This could be closed with
doors if desired We keep our horses
in box stalls and haul the manure
from them direct to the field. By the
liberal use of bedding and absorbents
we hope to make more and better
manure.

WANT BITS OF KINGS OAK.
Many Applications for Pieces of His
toric Central Park Tree.

New York.-Many applications have
been received by the park authorities
for pieces of the Kings oak that was
cut down in Central park a few weeks
ago because of its decayed condition.
When the tree was cut down the
chips and small branches were burned
as usual, but the trunk and larger
branches were taken to the store
room where they now are.
The large number of applications for
bits of the tree showed that there was
much interest in the English oak
planted by King Edward viii, when
as the prince of Wales he visited this
country.
So many requests were not antfci-
pated by the park authorities and for
the most part have to be refused. 1t
has not yet been decided what to do
with the remains of the tree.

DAIRY NOTES.

Germs, it is said, multiply faster in
pasteurized milk than in any other
kind. Therefore keep the pasteurized
milk in cool place and use 1t as soon
as possible.
Never use the milk utensils for any
thing but milk.
There never was a dairyman yet
who could offer an excuse for keep
ing scrub, cows in his herd. The rea-
son is very simple; there is no excuse.
At present high prices the dairyman
should raise as much Of his own feed
as possible.
If cows that are well fed and prop
erly cared for do not prove profitable,
dispose of them and get others.
In building up the herd it wifi be
found the fall fresh cow is the best
and so is the fall calf the best to buy.
Don't use cheap salt in making but
er. Use table salt as the barrel kind
is too coarse.

BUTTER coLoRs.
A Good Thing fov the Farm Butter
Maker to Let Alone.

Butter colors are a good thing for
the farm butter maker to let alone.
declares the>Farmers' Review. Some
OF the coloring compounds that
have been put on the market in the
past have been made Of coal tar, and
without doubt many butter colors are
still on the market that are made
from this material. Colors derived
from coal tar are supposed to be poi
sonous, and some Of the states have
prohibited their use
But even il they are harmless, it Ia
better to let them alone Skill is re-
quired in their use, and 1t is difficult
for the unskilled butter-maker to get
the same shade of color in different
patches of butter. In the creamery it
is different, as so much butter is made
that the use Of the coloring matter
can be reduced to exact proportions.
In the creamery, milk is received
from all kinds of patrons and all
kinds Of cows, and the artificial COL
oring makes it possible to turn out
a uniform product day by day. So the
use Of a vegetable coloring matter in
the creamery can hardly be con-
demned; for by it alone is uniform
ity. of color possible.
But on any single farm the color of
the butter will be uniform, as the milk
comes from the same cows all the
time. Cows differ greatly as to the
color of their cream. With some COWS
it is of very deep yellow color, and
with other cows it is so light as to
be almost colorless. The color fac
tor is largely a matter of breeding. A
man can improve the color of his but
ter by using for breeders only the
COWS that produce milk of good color.
It is true, however, that some Of
the best Durham cows produce cream
very light in color, and when a man
has a good cow of this kind he can
not afford to discard her, just because
of the lightness Of the color of her
butter-fat. He can help himself by
keeping other cows that will make up
for the deficiency.
The color of farm butter is mat
ter Of sentiment only, and with some
consumers it counts for nothing.
While a man has private customers
for his butter, he will have no trou-
Bile on account of color, so long as
he lets artificial coloring matter alone.
If a person Is selling butter on the
open market, the possession of good
color does go some distance in secur-
ing sales.
If after all a farmer determines to
use butter colors in the making up of
his farm butter he should reduce its
use to a science and learn to always
use the same proportion. This is not
an easy thing to do; for it is hard to
use little enough of the butter color
in a small batch of butter.
The feed Of the cows has some
bearing on the color of the butter,
and it is this that gives to June but
ter it's high color. The COWS are at
that time receiving very full ra-
ton of succulent green grass, and
the green color in the grass comes out
in the butter-fat as yellow Of pro:
nounced shade. Good clover hay
cured in way to retain it's original
green color helps some in keeping
fall and winter butter Of good color.
