GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Coal ashes are OF no value to the
garden.
Because hogs are thin and have
large frames IL does not necessarily
follow that they will feed well.
Noontime Is the best time to feed
the chickens raw vegetables such as
cabbaxes. beets and turnips.
Egg production and market poultry
are the qualities that are necessary to
the continued popularity of any breed.
Under favorable conditions pigs
gain an average of pound day to
the age OF four months. and over a
pound a day beyond this age.
The farmer who markets his garden
truck can add from ten to twenty-five
per cent to its value by putting 1t up
attractively in suitable packages.
Short bedding for the narrowing
SOW. The youngsters sometimes be.
come tangled In the long straw and
are overlaid and killed BY the mother.
Get a beef liver two or three times
week. Boil 1t. chop 1t up fine and
feed It to the hens. They will relish
II and give a bountiful return in eggs.
When the horses are doing hard
work they should be fed literally and
with a good. nutritious ration. When
relieved from work their feed should
be cut down.
The chief thing sought in the inter.
raI arrangements Of brooder is a pro
vision to keep the chicks from pilins
up and smotherlng each other as they
crowd toward the source OF heat.

The Best Conditions.

The best condition for the SOW TO
he In is medium flesh. carefully and
regularly fed. independent shelter and
plenty Of exercise In a good pasture.
What is better for brood SOW than
plenty OF room to move about over a
good pasture, Bits OF green grass,
roots, and worms are all good foods
for sovs. An independent hog house
to crawl into makes II n very pleasant
home. When the SOW is about to far
row the house Is set near fence and
hurdles are placed around the front
end, so that other hogs in the same
lot cannot get In to disturb the sow
She can farrow In peace. She can be
alone with her litter and yet is not
confined entirely to the individual
house. As soon as the pigs are a
week old and active enough to run
along with the SOW. the hurdles may
be removed and the SOW and litter
given the run OF the pasture.

MANY CAUSES OF RoPY MILK
Trouble Frequently Occurs and 10 Re
moved Only After Most Drastic
Messures-Not Harmful.

ry 4. A, ROGERS. UNITED STATES
HvREAr OF ANIMAL. INDUSTRY
Ropy milk Is. so far as kno~n. In no
way detrimental to health. The "a
nous Edam cheese is nearly all made
from milk which has undergone this
fermentation
Most people. however, object seri-
ously to milk with any tendency to
form threads. This trouble frequently
Affects the milk Of a dairy day after
day and Is removed only by the most
drastic measures.
Outbreaks of this nature frequently
occur in the cold months. because the
bacteria In this group thrive better st
low temperatures than tho Tactic acid
bacteria which hold them In check un.
der normal conditions.
In one case II was found that these
bacteria were abundant In the dust of
the stable. The trouble was removed
By thoroughly cleaning and white
washing.
In another serious and persistent
outbreak I, Was found that the milk az
II came from the dairy contained fev
or no ropy milk bacteria. but they
were abundant In the water tank In
which the milk was held over night
The small amount OF water occa.
sionally splashed into the cans added
sufficient bacteria to make the milk
ropy In a comparatively short time.
The utensils and floor had become
so thoroughly impregnated with this
organism that milk exposed In the
room or strained through the wire
strainer became ropy without contain.
ination with the water.
The trouble was removed by thor.
oughly sealding all the utensils. dis.
injecting the floor with a hve per cent.
sulphuric acid solution and destroy.
ing the organisms IN the Ice water by
adding potassium bichromate-in the
proportion Of one part to 1000 parts
OF water.
