Wide Wagon Tires.

AS to the desirability of the use OF
the wide tires there can be no ques.
tion. The most casual observation
Will suffice to convince any one of the
damage which heavily laden wagon,
equipped with the ordinary sharp,
rounded. narrow tires, will produce on
any road. There is also another, and
perhaps even greater advantage to be
gained by the use of the wide tires
viz, the increased hauling capacity
attained.

BITTER MILK

| have two Jersey COWS whose milk
has been bitter the past three weeks,
the longer it stands IT becomes more
bitter. the cream also becomes bitter
and fails to make butter, that is fails
to separate from the buttermllk. l
feed them red TOP hay and roots, and
some bran. Will you please advise
me what to do to cause the COWS milk
to regain it's natural taste and the
cream make butter. K. S. ..
Stevens County.
Ans.-The trouble which you are
having with your milk does not seem
to be in the least the fault OF the cow
Any change which milk undergoes
after 1t leaves tie COW is due to germ
action, and the way to control this is
to keep everything clean and to use
only sterile buckets and other utensils
in handling the milk | would adj
wise the Thorough washing and clean
ing of the stable, using some dlsln-
fecting material IN the wash water to
destroy all germ life present. Keep
the COWS carefully brushed and damp
en- the udder with a moist cloth I'M
mediately preceding the milking, re-
move the milk from the barn and keep
in a place free from dust. You may
sterilize all apparatus used in the
handling of the milk by boiling it in
plenty CT water for at least twenty
minutes.

Ans.-Clover hay feed along with
carrots would be preferable to oat
hay, if, however, you find it necessary
to grow wheat hay | would suggest
that you SOW either reas or vetch with
the oats, this will give you an excellent

as clover, if cut at the proper time.

Ans.-ln order to keep records for

of each month [ would take a sample

secutive milkings and determine It's

complaint is justitiable until the exact
conditions are known. | believe that
evey farmer should have small Bah
cock tester on his place and should
know how to use it. 1t is more diff
cult to test cream than milk, and it
also requires a scale to weigh the
sample of cream in order to secure
accurate results. | would suggest,
however, that you weigh your milk be-
fore separating and take sample to
determine the butterfat content. With
the weight of milk and the test you
will soon be able to determine the
number of pounds of butter fat in the
milk which is separated, deduct about
five per cent of the butterfat for the
loss in separation and handling and
it should give you approximately the
number of pounds of butterfat for
which you should receive credit at
the creamery. Weigh your cream be-
fore delivering to the creamery and
secure their test on your cream, the
amount of butterfat as shown by the
weight and test of the cream should
correspond closely with the amount
which you found in the milk to be
separated. If you have a Bahcock
tester and also have cream test bottles
you can get very good idea of what
the cream should test by thoroughly
stirring the can of cream just as you
are ready to send it to the creamery
and take a sample for testing. OF
course you will not have the scales
for weighing your sample but if the
cream is sweet and in condition you
may measure out a sample for testing
with the pipette and proceed with
the test in the usual manner the re-
suits obtained by accurately weighing
the samples so that you may be sure
that you are not getting fair treat
ment if the creamery test falls below
yours, providing you have used the
utmost care in making the test.

FEEDING FOR MILK PRODUC
TION


We would appreciate your advice
as to what should be fed to dairy COWS
to produce milk. w. nj. Z.
Chelan County.
Ans. There is a great difference as
to what should be fed to COWS to pro-
duce milk. In some sections of the
state it is feasible to have one kind
of feed, while in another section of
the state it is entirely different. We
Judge a feed by its composition,
the amount of protein, carbohydrates
and salts which it contains, also by
the percentage digestibility of these
substances. You will find tables Civ
ing this information in any good work
on the feeding of ANIMALS.
We are, at the present time, feed
ing our dairy herd alfalfa and clover,
hay mixed, coin silage, and a grain
ration consisting of two parts Of Sha-
dy Brook Dairy Feed and one part OF
wheat bran. The Shady Brook Dairy
Feed is composed of ground alfalfa
mixed with a small per cent OF beet
sugar molasses.
We supply our cows with ali the
silage and hay which they will readily
consume, and feed about one pound
of the grain mixture for every three
pounds of milk produced.
