Milk Bottle Pump.

was done through the ignorance OF
mothers and nurses in starting the
flow of the siphon by sucking one end
so as to draw the milk up through the
tube
An automatic means of drawing of
the contents of bottle has been de-
vised and is shown in the accompany
ing cut. In this the milk is forced
out, not by suction, but by compress
sion of the air in the bottle. The de-
vice consists merely of a cap of rub
Der mounted on the siphon tube and
arranged to rest on the mouth Of the
milk bottle. The neck of this cap is
seized between the thumb and finger
and pressed downward, carrying the
tube with it, until the cap virtually
is inverted. While the cap is being
pressed down the air in the top of the
bottle is compressed, thus forcing the
milk up through the tube without
bringing the rubber into contact with
the milk. The siphon then continues
to run.

Frequent Changes of Name.

The political rechristening of streets

Island of Reunion, which changed it's
name four times in just over half a
century. In 1893 it was Bourbon, as
it had been for century and half,
but the convention then changed it
to Reunion Under the empire it be-
came lie Bonaparte, at the restora-
ton it reverted to Bourbon, and final
ly, in 184S. it became Reunion once
more. So the septuagenarian island
ers of this last year could recall an
unparalleled series of compulsory
changes. They must have thought
themselves lucky few years later
when the second empire refrained
from Bonapartizing this island again

KEEPING TAB ON DAIRY COWS
Simple Records Easily and Quickly
Made by Which Every Farmer
Knows Animals Standing.
(By MILLER PURvIS.1

CBy MILLER PURVIS)
There are some things which have
been said over and over SO many
times that / sometimes think 1t a
waste of time to mention them again,
but as am travelling about the coun-
try / see so many proofs which show
practiced that l feel as If those who
write for the farmers benefit should
try to emphasize old truths as we'll
as expound new ones.
We have been talking about bal
anced rations SO long that it would
seem as if every dairyman would feel
the necessity of using a ration which
would produce the best results, yet I
doubt If five per cent of the cows of
the country are fed in the most eco
nomical manner and l often find ex-
amples of the most costly kind of
feeding, although the owners think
they are feeding at the lowest cost.
It should be remembered that low
cost feeding is not usually the cheap
est feeding. In fact, the lower the
cost of feeding a COW the lower the
revenue from her. The economy of
feeding a given ration is not to be de-
termined by the initial cost of that
ration, but by the result it produces.
If by increasing the cost of the
daily ration so per cent we can in
crease the revenue any more than 80
per cent all the increase above that
figure is clear profit which cannot be
charged with anything for labor or
interest on investment because these
items of cost are not increased by
the better system of feeding.
The only way to determine whether
a COW pays profit to her owner is
to keep a record of her performance as
a mixer and to know what is costs to
feed her.
The cost of feeding may be very
closely Appropriated without keeping
an individual account, but to know to
any degree of certainty what she re-
turns to her owner the milk she pro-
duces must be weighed and tested
Without putting a COW to the rigid
test of weighing her milk and deter
mining it's quality, either by churning
separately or putting samples through
the Babcock tester, no one can tell
whether she is a profitable animal to
keep.
| would be surprised to hear that
one in 100 owners of five or more cows
in this country could make any sort
of an intelligent test of her value as
a money maker.
1t would be considered foolish for
a merchant to buy a barrel of sugar
without asking the cost Of 1t and sell
ing it by guessing at the weight of
each sale.
Such a proceeding carried out in all
the lines kept in a store would spell
ruin in a short time, yet this is the
way many dairymen do business.
Keeping a record is very simple
operation. If all the pals used in
milking are made to weigh the same,
which easily can be done, it is only
necessary to keep milk sheet tackled
I'D in the cow stable where it will be
handy.
When the cow is MIXED hang the
pail with the milk in it on the hook OF
the scale, note the weight on the
sheet and when the month is ended
subtract the weight of the pail as
many times as there are weighings
and the remainder is the total weight
of the milk.

and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of proven

Some form of small-top or covered

Young calves need whole milk for

The big yield cow will knock all
the doubt and difficulty out of the
business of milk production.
A good dairy COW Usually has bright
intelligent looking eyes-lust the kind
that the successful man has.
When a tin milk vessel begins to
rust throw it out of service. 1t is not
easy to keep a rusty pail clean.
II for any reason you are late in
feeding the calf don't give him any
more than you would if fed on time.
Be kind to the dairy COW. Beating
and kicking excites and pains her.
causing her to withhold the milk from

Bacteria in milk breed faster In
warm than in cold weather. Your
dairy products can be improved by a

Weight of Butter Fat.

Butter is estimated to weigh about
one-sixth more than the butter fat In
the milk and cream. For instance, II
you had Sc pounds butter fat when
made into butter the quantity would
be six pounds more, or AZ pounds OF
churned butter. Most creameries work
on this basis. Whether there is fraud
in computing the value of the cream
at the creamery depends upon the
character of the men. The amount of
butter to be secured from the cream
depends upon the butter fat content
of that cream. II cream tests 36 per
cent. of butter fat, from 100 pounds of
such cream AZ pounds butter should
be churned. If cream contains but "a
per cent. of butter fat, from 100
pounds, but 20 pounds of butter VIII
be churned.
