AT this time of year, especial care
IS needed in the production of milk
for cheesemaking. If that farmer, who
hauled canful of dirty milk to a Wis
consin cheese factory yesterday,
could spend the day at the factory
and see how much trouble il caused
the cheesemaker. or could visit the
cheese buyers warehouse, when that
cheese arrived. and see how little 1t
weighed, what a small price it sold
for, how badly 1t smelled, and how it
bit the tongue and turned the stomach

It, he would be convinced that lit
tie extra time and care is we'll worth
expanding in the effort to produce
clean milk on the farm. and to keep
1t clean until it reaches the cheese
factory.
Milk gets dirty. whenever the cows
are allowed TO wander through a
slough or any other dirty place, get.
ting their TANKS and udders wet and
muddy. Every hair on the cows belly
gathers thousands of little living

BEST TYPES OF
SILOS FOR STATE
BY PROF. c. A. oCOcK,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.


Silo should be round, since less ma
lerial is required for the constructor
OF round silo Of given capacity thar
for one Of any other shape. Silage
will keep better in round silo. Tor
this shape makes possible more thor
ough packing
The silo should be alright; other
wise air will come In contact with the
silage and cause rotting or dry fir
ing"
The inner surface of the wall should
be smooth. II the inside wall has ir-
regularities, there is almost a GER
tainty that open spaces will be left
between the wall and the silage as the
latter settles. The air win pass in at
these openings with results mentioned
above.
The walls should be rigid enough to
prevent cracking; they are also better
able to withstand strong winds, which
exert great force upon the side OF
silo
The walls should be non-conductors
of heat and cold, since silage is kept
nearer the temperature at which II
was packed during the filling
To include all of these features OF
a good silo there can be no better type
than the well.constructed concrete
silo
The materials which are now being
used are wood, stone brick. tile, iron
and concrete, or combination of
some Of these materials Silage will
keep as well In one as In the other,

ly become very popular.
The time Ia not far distant when
the wooden or staye silo must be sup
planted in most cases by one of
more substantial material. Good lum-
Der is scarce and its extremely high
price is compelling the builders to
look for something less expensive and
more durable
The redeemiDg feature Of a staye
silo are: quickness OF erection, adapta-
bility TO any size Ct structure and
very smooth surface on the interior
which does not cause the silage to
drag when settling. By buying stave
silo from the manufacturer all ready

difficulties OF planning the structure.
He has only to order sllo Of the de
sired dimensions and the details will

Concrete sllos are simple OF con
struetion. cheap and durable They
are more easily constructed and re-
quire less skill In building than the
Modern Gurler or the Old Wisconsin
silo which has been In use for many
years. They cost little, If any, more
than the best wooden silo and about
half as much as a brick or tile silo.

plan is put through, will in the future
be utilized as a white school The
character OF the population in its vicini-
ty is radically different now than when
the structure was built The white resi-
dents have largely increased in the pad
few years until they now are in the
majority, and it is believed the project
to convert it into a white school, while
the Phelps becomes cClored, will meet
with general approval Since there is a
pronounced overflow in the Armstrong
Manual Training building, threatening to
ne more embarrassing this year than
before it is believed the conversion of
the Phelps school solves the problem.
An addition argument in favor of the
shift is that three colored schools. the
Patterson, Garnet, and Garrison, are
congested, and it is expected that the
Phelps will provide for this overflow
as well as that of the Armstrong school.
Both the Bruce and the Phelps schools
are modern structures.
If the plan works out as successfully
as IS hoped, it Will be applied over an
extensive area, according to the varying
degrees of congestion which are found.

troller of the Treasury certain points
