What Is Milk?

1t is surprising how little real knowl-
edge of milk is common with people at
large at the present time. Substantially
everybody uses milk every day, yet the
great mass of consumers look upon it as
valuable only for the cream there is In
it. We have been especially reminded
of the absence of critical knowledge OF
this familiar article from the testimony
offered before committee of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature having the matter
of legal standard under investigation.
Something out Of the ordinary was
sprung upon the assembly in the testi-
mony of DR.. Rotch, specialist In chill
dren's diseases and an accepted author
ity, who declared that milk of a natural
ly low fat percentage is needed by him
in his practice, and is superior to any
other in certain cases, and that it is
wrong to debar such milk from the mar
ket, provided it is clean and unadulterat-
ed. A standard Of purity rather than
butter fat seems to be the only rational
requirement of quality in milk.

Cost of Light and Heavy Pork.

1t is recognized by hogmen generally
that the first 100 pounds of pig can be
made for very small amount OF feed
per pound of gain; that the second 100
pounds will cost almost twice as much,
and the third 100 pounds will cost be-
tween two and three times as much as
the first 100 pounds. In this way the
cost per pound increases as the pig
grows older and heavier. Since this is
so, it must be evident that, barring cost
at birth, pound in a 100-pound pig can
be made for about one-third the cost of
that required to produce pound OF gain
in 400-pound pig. There is more sub
stance to an old and fat pig than young,
light one, and it takes feed to make it.
on the market they are all bought for
the pork they will dress, consequently
the difference in price per pound is not
great, but the cost of producing 1t is,
and to this the producer should give
heed. That is why so many hogs to-day
are marketed at 200 pounds and fewer
at $50 and 400 pounds. This does not
imply that the hogs should not be finish
ed or carry fat, but simply that as the
weight is increased the cost per pound
to produce it is increased.
The pork producer anxious to make
money can do no better than turn his at
tention to a consideration of these and
other details that may suggest them
selves, and determine their application
to his individual conditions.-Farm,
Stock and Home.

SoIomon's Bathtub.

With Chronicles as its authority, the
Plumbers Trade Journal says that the
bathroom was an invention Of King
Solomon. who put It in use thousand
years before the Christian era. 1t was
sinful to enter the sanctuary unless
the body was perfectly clean, and for
the accommodation Of priests bath
tub was erected at the entrance to the
temple. 1t was said Of Solomon, HE
made molten sea Of ten cubits from
brim to brim round In compass and
five cubits the height thereof, and a
line of thirty cubits did compass II
roundabout" According to the meas.
urements. the Solomonian tub was for.
ty-fve feet In circumference at the top
and six and one-half feet deep. II
rested on carved figures Of oxen and
was of solid brass cast In one piece,
decorated with a floral design. Con-
nected with 1t there were ten small
sinks, which were used for washing
the Offering.

Accident Turks in Rotten Harness.

One recent issue of a news exchange
coming to the Farmer Office contains
accounts of two serious accidents, due
in one case to the breaking of bit, the
other to the giving way of harness
when unusual strain was brought to
bear against them by the horse taking
fright. In each instance the runaway
would in all probability not have hap
pened had the parts held when the
strain was put upon them, since the
drivers were skilled aud courageous; one
having made a sensational mastery OF
the running animal by climbing on to
the shafts, catching the animal by the
nostrils and thus choking him to stand
still.
The Farmer has tafen occasion to call
attention to the necessity of having the
whole driving outfit strong and reliable,
with this done, If the driver will but
keep his nerve and give close attention
to studying the moods Of his horse, most
accidents can be averted, but weak,
rotten outfit puts him at the mercy OF
every wind that flutters paper, an avn
ing or tent, to say nothing of the auto
mobiles that are now less feared by horse
and driver alike.-Maine Farmer.

Keep Up With the Times.

Conditions are forcing the considera.
ton of questions upon the attention of
the farmer in an entirely different man.
ner than formerly, but the lesson is not
always willingly received. To-day after
all the preaching and teaching of the
past there is too much opposition to the
silo and to silage. Men will not accept
the lessons presented partly because
they necessitate a breaking from the
standards of the past and partly from
old time practices. If dairying is to be
made profitable we must feed more sue
culent food in winter. Sugar beets
carry more dry matter than mangels,
therefore they are more profitable, but
somehow the supposed larger yield of
the mangels fills the eye of the grower.
Early cut hay carries more protein than
late but habit prevents one from start
ing the moving machine until about
such a time. Succulence plays more
important part in growth or production
than we realize and the animals liking
must be considered If this means the
study of individual tastes it also sug-
gests increased returns for that study.
The returns are necessary and we must
find them.-Dr. Twitchell in Maine
Farmer.

Some Advantages of Dairying.

1t takes less fertility out of the soil
than any other form of agriculture, and
hence it is useful in following we'll
regulated system of rotation. 1t can be
combined readily with other forms of
agriculture or horticulture. The dairy
provides in winter quantity OF stable
manure in which the straw from the
farm is profitably utilized. The by
products from the COW, skim milk, whey
and buttermilk are source of income
in raising hogs and calves. Dairying
gives constant and regular employment
of light character TO every member OF
the farmers family. Dairying incul-
Gates habits of punctuality, industry,
cleanliness and thrift on the farm.
Cheese and butter are condensed prod
ucts, and the cost of carriage in COM
parison with their value, is less than
that of any other farm product. The
demand for good butter and cheese on
the worlds markets is unlimited, and,
so long as the quality is maintained, an
all-round, even and profitable price can
always be secured.
The monthly check from the factory
provides the mainstay in the household,
as against the precarious returns from
yearly crops. In mixed farming, the
income from the dairy is the most re-
liable.
The farmers household, as a result OF
dairy work, is always supplied with
fresh milk and cream, butter and cheese,
pork, bacon aud veal.
Storekeepers, traders, bankers, finsn-
cial men and politicians all fully realize,
after years of experience, that wher-
ever dairy farming is conducted, farmers
are most prosperous, mortgages are
rarely found, and the value of landed
property becomes considerably enhanc-
ed d.-Exchange.
