Poor Milk


generally used from the cradle to
the grave as milk. In this we are
all agreed that it may be good
bad, or Indifferent. and the mea-
gre intelligence. or shall we say
instinct, of the infant is equal to
the task of differentiating one
quality of milk from another. Blu,
the children OF larger growth
are generally ignorant of the con-
ditions which enter into one
phase of the production of in
ferior milk.
What I refer to is the common
mistake in believing that the
quality of milk is determined
largely by the nature of the food
that the COW eats.
One of the stock arguments
used in Denver against the iced
ing of brewers malt to dairy cows
was that it produced poor quail
ity of milk. The same argument
has been used in the case of beet
pulp. This is a mistake. Each
COW is physiological unit in the
production of milk constituents
when in healthy condition. The
quantity of milk varies greatly
according to the kind and amount
of feed consumed. but the quality
remains uniform with remarkable
persistency.
If the COW is sick or starved,
and the body functions abnormal,
then il may be different. 1t is a
fact of much Interest, as we'll as
of economic importance. that the
COW under all sorts OF adverse
conditions will persistently ad
here to her standard in the rela-
tive proportion of milk constitu-
ents.
The flavor of milk will vary ac-
cording to the feed and other
things. The milk may be red or
blue in color. and the cream may
be ropy; it may sour quickly and
many things may happen TO it be-
cause of the presence of bacteria
when cans and bottles are not
sterilized. and the mixer is care
less; but the same amount OF
cream. casein, milk sugar and
other constituents are there,
quart for quart. providing the
COW is healthy and the milkman
has not skinned it down to three
per cent-or more.
There is a great difference in
the quality OF milk in individual
cows. as well as in breeds. Sam
plies of milk from a certain COW
were brought to the Veterinary
Department OF the Agricultural
College tor analysis. The COM
plant was that there was no
cream on the milk. Analysis OF
each sample revealed about = per
cent butter fat. The COW has been
examined and found healthy. The
feed has been changed. but the
milk remains poor. She is that
kind of a cow.-Geo. II. Glover.
