The Size of the siIo.

! The size of the silo should, of
course, depend upon the number of
cattle to be kept The diameter
should be such that layer of at least
None and one-half inches will be
taken off the top daily, in feeding. to
insure fresh silage, as it spoils If
left exposed to the air more than "a
hours.
A COW will eat about one cubic foot
,or about 40 pounds, a day. At this
rate, to feed cattle six months, the di-
jameter of SO-foot silo should be such
las to allow about five square feet of
surface for each COW. Two small 81
los are better than one large one, be-
cause the silage will always be in
better condition as it is used off the
top faster.

Utility of the Cream Separator.

Those who have never used cream
separator do not know of it's actual
value in dairy work. One great econ
omy in using the cream separator in
summer is the small space required to
keep the product to be saved. The
separating is done Immediately after
milking, and all of the skim milk not
wanted for household use is fed to the
calves, pigs or poultry.
There is no trouble in storing it
away for the cream to rise and no
large number of milk vessels to clean
and handle. The separator, of course,
must be cleaned, but the work of
cleaning is not nearly so great as
the work of cleaning all the milk YES.
sells necessary for holding the milk
it takes care of. There are brushes
for cleaning which make the work
easy, and there is no drying, as scald-
ing water is used and the heat from
this dries the parts without the use of
a drying cloth.

TO MAKE SUPERIOR BUTTER
Several Essential Suggestions fo4
Dairymen That Insure Success
In Quality and Flavor.
By BESSIE L. PUTNAM

Butter of the best quality is OBJ
tained only when the cream is churn-
ed twice a week, though a product
of fair quality may be secured from
a weekly churning if extra care is
taken of the cream during the gath
lering process.
1t must be kept in a well ventilated
cellar or room free from objection
able odor. If vegetables are kept
in the same compartment see to it
that there are no decaying members
among them Cabbage is especially
prone to affect the flavor of milk or
butter
II you use ensilage never feed the
silage until after the milking is done
and the milk cared for. Milk read
lily absorbs odors and the butter will
be of inferior quality as a result.
Always scald pals, strainers and
separatOrs in fall and winter, with as
much care as in midsummer. Because
the milk does not quickly sour is no
reason why vigilance in this direction
should be relaxed. The bitter odor is
bound to creep in unless this detail is
carefully attended to.
II the butter is hard to come keep
the cream in a warm room IL
hours before churning This is much
more satisfactory than putting in hot
water to raise the temperature of the
cream
When packing butter away, scald
all the crooks a nd pals thoroughly.
One that has had rancid butter in
can seldom be cleansed sufficiently
to keep butter well afterward; though
If 1t Is necessary to use such a crock,
perhaps the best method of sweeten-
ing 1t Is to fill it with clay for a short
time. This soil has the power to
draw out Objectionable havors as
nothing else can do.
When packing butter for the win
ter months always use the best of salt,
and cover with a cloth well sprinkled
with salt Avoid coloring material.
Strive to keep the cream at the
proper temperature before and during
the process of churning and artificial
tints will not be required
More butter is spoiled by being
over, rather than under-worked.
Don't churn when you are cooking
onions and then be surprised if the
butter is off" If the process is car
ried on in any part Of the kitchen it
rs necessary to have the air freed
from other odors at the time.

by means Of one-inch pipe, and a

FORAGE Figures in the Profits.

In the production of milk and cream
on the farm the farmer seldom stops
to consider that there should be placed
value on the forage which the COWS
consume when on pasture, or that the
labor necessary to feed, milk and
properly care for the cows, and the
milk should be considered as an ex-
'pense. On this account, too often. the
farmer fails to fully understand the
actual cost of his butter when ready
for market.

age day. Here the protein content
of the forage comes in for consider
alton, as a dairy COW in full milk
neds nearly two pounds of digestible
protein per day. Alfalfa contains 80
pounds of protein per 100 pounds; red
clover. 2.9 oats, is; sweet corn, 1.5;
millet, 2; flint corn, 1, and sorghum,

enough protein, while the rest are
