The Cow. The Feed, The Man.

IN addressing dairy meeting a
short time ago, Professor Hecker OF
Minnesota stated that it was "a known
fact that a large percentage Of the
western cows which under ordinary
treatment produced but $50 pounds Of
butter per year, with the right kind
OF feed and proper care would pro-
duce as much as 200 or even $50
pounds per year. This shows that
the feed and care a COW gets is al
most half.
Therefore it can readily be seen
that the average COW is better than
the average.
Although the creamery Is some
thing which is really necessary for
development Of the dairy interest, the
COW the feed. and the man make the
foundations. and to set lthese is now
the question that demands the most
careful consideration.

Ia North Dakota. In the dryer parts

The Covered Milk Pail

+
One OF the greatest drawbacks TO
the production OF a high-class home
made dairy butter is the ordinary
milk pail. 1t is practically impossible
to obtain dirt free milk when the
open top pail is in use, even though
washing the cows udder be resorted
to. and every other precuation max
ing for cleanliness be taken. II a
pail Of milk, drawn under ordinary
conditions, be strained thru a folded
cheese cloth, and the residue exam
ined it will show, in every instance.
the needs OF more care with the
milk pail.
We would recommend the use Of
a covered pail, having a small open
ing at the center, where the milk
can drain through several thick
nesses of cheese cloth. In this way
much Of the floating dust, loaded
with bacteria, that settles in the
milk pail, will be avoided. The
cows flank and udder should be
washed to remove all filth and
scales, loose airs, aad particles OF
straw and dust that may be cling
ing to the body II is needless to
say that the person ami hands Of
the mixer should be clean, and he
should not dip his fingers into the
milk stream in order to moisten the
cows teats. At the time OF milking
all offensive otlors should be absent,
Is Tar as possible. A dark, foul
smelling, dust laden barn can hard
ly be source of really sweet
milk.
1t is this filthy condition when
taking the milk that is largely re-
sponsible for poor butter. because,
as We say, the milk becomes "taint-
ed with the odors OF the barn. In
point OF fact the more serious re-
suit of lack OF cleanliness is that
the milk is invaded by swarms Of
bacteria that find in it an excellent
place OF growth, and the work Of
the ordinary bacteria is intcrferred
with. AS result the cream differs
from time to time in its character,
the noticeable 1taint' OF the milk is
present. and the bad effects OF neg
3lect at the time OF milking is car
RED over to the butter, which Is I'M
even in quality, and lacks very
much OF that sweetness that goes
with the highest care and cleanliness
about the dairy.
Milk pals such as We speak Of
may be bought for about double
the price Of the ordinary pail, Sut,
taking into account the nearer APP
proach to cleanliness, and the better
quality Of butter produced, they
would be cheaper at almost any
price

Low Wages IN
Virginia

Farmers OF North Dakota what
would you think If you were asked
TO work all day long for atty Or seven
ty-fve cents a day Yet In GONE '2ur-
items of the United States, these are
the farm wages, and besides the poor
man has to support a family from
this amount. A letter from one rt the
independents readers in Virginia. con
corning this will helread with q gepd
deal of interest:
Salem, Virginia, Box l2S
To the Editor of the independent:
Dear Sir:---As there are great
many good farmers who wish toscnme
to North Dakota. but can't get the
money to pay their ransportatinn, for
they cant get enough work to do to
support their families. Tor they get
only 30 to Is cents day, would
suggest that farmers needing hands,
would send ticket to the postmaster
or the bank, and get some OF these
men to work on their farms. They
would be willing to pay the farmers
back for the tickets at SO much a
month taken from their wages. Il
had the money ] could get up a col
ony Of good farm hands to go out
there and farm. They had rather do
that than ia buy land at first. Try {
and see what you can do.
Yours respectfully,
r. c. Houston,
P. 81 can give reference. The
people must have work.
From the above 1t will be seen that
the farmers Of Virginia, the poor
farmers, we mean, and there are a
lot Of them, are in a bad state Of
affairs
We believe that the writer OF this
letter is telling the truth and 1T might
pay farmers who are in need of
farm hands, and who cannot be sup
piled to investigate the matter.
