BORAX IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter Of Profitable Interest t.
the Farmer and Dairyman.

The problem of keeping sweet all the
utensils used in connection with milk
and cream selling, and butter making
has been a serious one with the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that the
slightest faint or hint Of staleness left
In a can, tin or churn may ruin a whole
output; hat the faint which is left is
in the form of bacteria which grow and
multiply in milk or butter, producing
disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy resi-.
due in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves q
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for a
dairy cleanser and sweetener that will
meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery estab,
lishments have called experts into con.
sultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a pro
duct Of nature which exactly fills the
bill-borax.
Scientists have long known borax as
q cleanser, a sweetener n an anti
SEPTIC destroyer Of bacteria and germ
growths. Destroys ell thai is harmful
and promotes and preserves freshness
sweetness and purity, relieving the
dairyman and dairy housewife oil
drudgery and of needless work and
worry.
It's cheapness and value should givf
it first place in the necessities Of every
dairy.
The cows udder is kept in a clean
healthy and smooth condition by wash
ing it with borax and water, a table.
spoonful Of borax to two quarts OF
water.
This prevents roughness and sore,
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time a dread to the cow end j

The modern cleanser Of all dairy
utensils consists of-one tablespoonful
Of borax to every quart of water need.

Farmers of all sections are wanting

They are finding out that young

With the help of improved machinery
the progressive individual farmer is

farmer did a generation ago and men OF
this class are keeping up the productive
qualities of their farms.
The neglected lands of the eastern

to their primitive fruitfulness through
the aid Of scientific farming. Secre-

on the . 5000 900 -eres of improved land
in the State.
In making these estimates, II. p.
Baker, professor Of forestry in Iowa
State Agricultural College, figured that
the farms of Iowa required 7S,oOo,ooo
posts for fences, or 1900 to the square
mile. Placing the value of the posts at
10 cents each, the cost of renewals ev-
cry eight or nine years. which is the
life Of the post, is i ,71S,0OO, making
an annual bin for renewals of $l,46J,-
600
Like many other farming States.
Iowa has Il lack 0i renee post material,
but there is little excuse for this con
dition, according to the foresters who
have made studies in the State. A prop
erly managed forest plantation Will
produce. when the trees have reached
post size, $500 posts three to five inches
in diameter per acre; thus. it would
take 22.3JO acres about every ten years
to grow the necessary posts to supply
the State. Iowa is aid to have 100
600 acres Of planted timber, and yet the
fence post supply is insufficient. If
properly cared for, many Of these PLAN
tations can be made to produce more
timber. and thus insure the future post
supply.
These 100000 acres are not at present
furnishing the posts which it is esti-
mated can actually be grown on 1880
acres of properly handled forest land.
