The question of widening the

SANITARY MILK
Systematic Effort to Improve
DairyinQ Ia Virginia


Dairying In Virginia
Probably there is more interest
at present in the development OF
dairying in Virginia than in any
other agricultural subject. The
people of the State are beginning to
see the absurdity of the present Sit
uation. in which Virginia. with su-
perior natural advantages for the
diary industry, now sends over a
million dollars a year out OF the
State for diary products. The
State Diary and Food Commissioner,
the State Darymen's Association
(which recently had a very success
full meeting at Leesburg), and the
State Experime 1t Station are unit
ing in an effort to develop our dairy
interests, believing that tn S money
should be saved, and believing In
the power of diary farming as o res
torer and conserver OF soil fertility.
The State Experiment Station has
lust sent out to the 10000 Virginia
farmers on it's mailing list, two pub
LEGATIONS that will help to bring this
matter to the attention OF our people
Circular No. 8, The Dairy Cow and
Her Record" by W. K. Brainerd,
shows how a profitable herd may be
secured by eliminating the scrubs,
using the Babcock test and the milk
scales; and by grading up with a
pure bred sire. The circular st tes:
IF all the COWS now in Virginia
we're charged fair price fot food
and labor, one.third of them are be-
ing fed at an actual loss.
Bulletin No. 1876, 1.-THE Production
of Clean an Sanitary Milk" by the
same author, reports the results OF
meteorological examinations of milk
produced under conditions, good,
bad, and Indifferent, as they exist
on the diary farms OF the State.
Some of the conclusions are: The
chief sources of contamination are
dirty cows, dirty stables, dirty
mixers, diary utensils which have
cracks for the Judgement of dirt and
which are not properly sterilized,
mud holes in the barn yard, impure
water, bedding and feed, and from
mixers or attendants who come
into contact with a contagious dis
ease. Milk produced under average
farm conditions during the winter
months contains from 40, 600 to 7OO,-
900 bacteria per cubic centimeter;
while milk produced at the Expert
ment Station barn, IA modern sani-
tary stable) over a period OF six
! weeks contained only about 2,70O
bacteria per cubic centimeter. In
this stable about 80 per cent of the
bacteria were eliminated when the
straw bedding was we'll moistened
before milking. A reduction OF
about Is per cent was secured when
small mouth pail was used in milk
ing, as compared with an open pail
About % per cent of the bacteria
we're eliminate d when the tanks OIL
well-cleaned COWS were moistened
with damp cloth before milking"
Suggestions are given on the con.
struction of sanitary diary stables,
and on the care OF cows, and OF milk.

ment Station, Blacksburg, Va.

LOSS ny FOREST FIRES

According TO reports from the
Federal Government the loss from
forest fires in Virginia last year
amounted to the enormous sum Of
half a million dollars. In order to
limit this destruction of one OF the
chief sources of wealth in Virginia
An expert forester from the Nation
al Agricultural Department has
been employed by the State Board
of Agriculture to look after the for
est interest of Virginia for one year
and Commissioner Koiner favors
extending the work of the depart
ment to the instruction of land own
ers as to the best methods of pre-
venting fires and extinguishing the
same when once started.
1t is said from reports received
by the State Agriculture Depart
ment that the number and destruc-
tive force of forest fires in the past
week in Virginia are unprecedented
and State officials are waking up to
the need OF remedial steps to pre-
vent the same.
In some States system of co op'
GRAFTON between the government
and land owners is successfully
followed. That is to say, these Off
Gals post fire warnings and furnish
expert advice in regard to the
methods of preparing fire lanes in
order to retard the advance OF the
fires. These fire wardens act in a
cooperative capacity with the local
people and give such information as
best suited to local needs.
Locally, we can readily see how
such officials could be of service.
For the past week these forest fires
have been raging all through Roci-
bridge and adjoining counties, un-
til the very atmosphere is sur
charged with smoke and ashes, and
the glare OF the sun is softened to a
bloody red. In fact for some days
the sun was considerably obscured
by the smoke.
1t might be interesting to learn
the the origin of these fires. Some
times they acc dentllly spread from
the burning of brush by farmers
sometimes land owners set fire to
their underground and the fire gets
beyond their boundaries, and occa
sionally rarely we trust, the fire is
the result of wanton destruction
and OF incendiary origin, In the
last named cases, the offenders
should be reported and prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.
Save the timber because it is a
source of great and growing wealth.
