DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATING POINT
GRADING OF CREAM
BY E. A. Joraensen.

There Is at present more or less
grading of cream taking place in our
creameries, but two creameries scarce
creameries that do not grade alike for
all their patrons and some that grade
for part of their patrons only, These
widely different methods of grading
are not recommendable and especially
in places where there is a great deal
of changing around of patrons. For IL
a man takes his cream TO one cream
cry for awhile and gets it graded and
then takes IL to another and gets it
graded differently there, IL will in
many instances tend TO have the pa
tron lose faith in the grading. He
comes to the conclusion II is a swim
ding deal since they don't grade alike
just one more way of robbing him
Therefore, If the creamery men could
work in harmony, then they could
adopt some common method and allow
a large enough discrimination so it
would encourage the patron TO pro-
duce a good article. Besides the sys-
tenn of grading would have much more
effect. At present the difference in
price paid between first grade of
cream and the poorer one is, as a rule,
not large enough. and il may be justly
said that the undue competition is the
very cause of II. II is also the very
cause OF the present abuse of the Bah.
cock test which can be found in every.
day practice in many OF our cream.
cries. Where competition is sharp
some OF the tests are under-read in
order to give some higher test than
they are entitled to. This is the cause
OF much OF the dissatisfaction among
so many OF the creamery patrons. 1t
is unjust and 1t tends to make them
slack and produce an inferior grade of
cream. Therefore. It ought 10 be

SO of the Illinois experiment station,
on Superintendent Halls farm a space
in the barn 35x52 feet is devoted to
the cows. A manger running length
wise extends to within eight feet of
the wall at each end These spaces
between the manger and the wall are
closed by gates. At milking time all
of the cows are driven to the
side CT the manger on which the
water tank is situated, and the gates
are closed.
The door of the milking room is
then opened and the boss cows are
always ready to enter. Near the end
of this room are three stalls in which
the milking is done and 1t is surpris-
ing to note how quickly each COW
learns in which stall she is to be
milked and the order in which her
turn comes, so that the three mixers
have little difficulty in always milking

is SHE DOING HER BEST?
Some Suggestions Regarding the Profit
of Your Cow.

The man who is milking cows foi
the purpose of making money should
remember that II he wants TO know
what his cows are doing all he needs
To do is TO use the Babcock test and
the scales. But remember this: That
the Babcock test and the scales tell
what the COW is doing but not what
she might do under improved care and
with better feeding. Careful scientific
Investigations show that the percent.
age of fat in the milk cannot be
changed materially by any system Of
feeding or care but the total guam.
tity of fat produced can be increased
very materially by improved care and
better feeding In othsr words, the
total flow OF milk can be increased,
and that means the total amount Of
fat increased. Many good COW does
not have a fair chance to show what
she can do. Several OF our different
experiment stations have purchased
cows which were Improbable under
the conditions in which they found
them, but which responded very quick

TO being one of the leading agricul-

which the cows run loose instead of
being stalled.

small girl was seen recently that II is
worthy of description. 1t was fash.

linen glass cloth that comes with a

The skirt was made up with the
border coming at the hem, and as the
frock was in envelope style the border
edged the slashings under the arms.
The waist was cut out for wear
with a guimpe and was finished with
the border, the wide sleeves being
hemmed in the same manner. The belt
joining skirt and waist was of the

To Trim Linen Suits.

A method of trimming white or

brought out to please young girls.
II consists in using wide and mar

1t is not an expensive trimming, and
can easily be found in the shops.
Vivid colorings are used. When these
