NEW SYSTEM OF
 RUSHING FREIGHT
MISSOURI PACIFIC TO GIVE SHIPPERS INFORMATION RE-
 GRADING MOVEMENT.

St. Louis, April 4.-A new plan of handling fast freight shipments on the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain system that is expected to prove pop ular with the patrons is to be install ed April l. The important feature is the prompt information given ship pers regarding the movement of their freight.
 Under this new method commodi- ties offered for transportation are di- vided into two classes-red ball and ordinary freight. The former group includes all perishable goods, food stutfs, furniture, machinery, dry goods, glassware, oils, hardware, all import and export freight, and va rlous other commodities. Ordinary freight is non-perishable and is made up of all shipments which do not come within the classification of red ball.
 Red ball' is fast freight, and it is made u2 in separate trains. A con- spicuous "red ball" card containing the symbol letter and number assign ed the car is tackled on it, and this is recorded in book together with the contents and destination of the car This record of the train is tele graphed to the office of the superin- tendent of transportation. Every con signee of freight is advised on what day and hour it left St. Louis and when he may expect it.
 Check is kept of the progress of the car by means of brief symbol tele graph reports, and patrons are kept advised. When a car of red ball freight reaches it's destination a re- port is made at once to the consignor.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-06-01

Few dairymen and farmers know
the true value of thorough milking.
In this one business ignorance of
this fact is the cause of many mis-
takes and nature, like our country,
excuses no person on account OF
ignorance of its laws. This very
serious blunder is more prevalent
among our farmers who have only a
few COWS than among dairymen, be-
cause dairymen have, as rule, made
a study of this question and know its
evil effects. Thus we see that the
damage is done TIC a small portion of
our COWS
Most farmers put off milking until
all their other work is completed and
then try to milk in that tired and
fatigued condition. The result of
this is that when they get almost
through they quit and leave what is
commonly called the ''strippings. !"
The dairyman who has unframed
mixers or men who care nothing for
their employers business falls victim
to the same treatment.
The person who leaves the last few
drops in the cows udder commits a
triple offence against nature. First,
he lessons that milk flow by not TAX
ing all the milk from the udder. Ii
This is kent no the cow according ito
the familiar expression will Ego dry. :"
This not only affects the MI TX flow Of
the present lactation but also de-
creases it in all following lactations.
Second, he lessons the value of the
COW and all of her descendants. By
milking the udder is exercised and
new milk glands are formed. Then
by milking the last few drops we
would exercise the udder more, thus
increasing the number of milk glands

The Value of Thorough Milking

and causing greater flow OF milk.
This COW then would naturally pro-
duce a line of descendants, that by
the same treatment. could be made
to produce still more milk. Third,
he commits crime because he loses
for his employer dollars and cents
every month, for the last few drops
are very rich in butter fat. The
largest fat globules on account of
their size are found in the last few
drops drawn.
The large globules of fat pass
through the opening of the teats with
some difficulty, thus the watery por-
tion of the milk will pass out first
leaving the solids to be forced out
later. The richest portion of the
milk then is found in the last few
drops that are MIXED. The following
percents of butter fat in milk, &C
cording to the time of drawing, were
found in the University Dairy Labora
tory:
Amount of butter fat in first one
quarter of milk drawn, 8 per cent.
Amount of butter fat in second one
quarter of milk drawn, 4.3 per cent.
Amount of butter fat in third one
quarter of milk drawn, 5. 0 per cent.
Amount of butter fat in fourth one
quarter of milk drawn, ga per cent.
Amount of butter fat in last few
drops of milk drawn, 17.5 per cent.
BY the above we plainly see that by
losing the last few drops each day we
should lose a great amount of butter
each year. Let us suppose that an
ounce is left at each milking and the
COW gives 5000 pounds (about 700
gallons) of milk per year. Then in
the course of year there will be a
loss of $3.50 per COW in money, and

TO KEEP CREAM SWEET.

At this time of the year it is be-
coming a serious matter to store cream
for any length of time without having
it sour. A few precautions in the
methods of handling both milk and
cream will do much toward lettering
the quality. 1t is sometimes supposed
that the warm weather causes it to
sour directly. This is not the case;
the souring is caused by growth OF
organisms that gain entrance to the
milk through the barn air; from the
cows udder or from the milk utensils.
When the milk is cold these germs
do not grow and hence the milk sours
very slowly; as soon as the weather
warns the germs become active and
grow very rapidly and as result the
mix sours quickly. If the germs are
not present the milk would never
sour no matter what the temperature

the loss to the owner by injury to the
COW cannot be easily estimated.
We have in Tennessee one dairyman
who, in order to get his cows MIXED
thoroughly. offers prize to the mixer
who draws the greatest number OF
pounds each month. By this he not
only improves the COWS but after
giving the rrize he makes an extra
profit on his herd. The dairyman
can easily afford to pay the mixer
who milks thoroughly more wages
than one who does not. For sake OF
animal improvement let us try to
remedy this evil. o. L. Farris Ten

may be.
Care should be taken to have the
milk utensils perfectly cleaned by
first washing in fairly warm water,
scalding and then airing in the sun.
II milk is to be separated it should
be done at once and the cream cooled
by setting it in cold water stir both
the water and the cream.

strated by raising sweet potatoes for
the market that the possibilities OF this

and their success has inspired others
to follow their example. Mr.. Jackson
is probably the largest potato grower
in the county, raising ever! year a
sufficient quantity to sell hundreds

completion, comes the admission of the
doctor that Sir Francis is the inventor,
or at least the designer, of an air ship.

Probably all this activity in the de-
partment Of agriculture is of as much
direct benefit TO the people at large as
any Of the travelling that is done every
annum from Washington. 1t used to be
said that the states could do these things
quite as we'll, or better, for themselves
but less and less is heard nowadays on
that score. The scientists of the depart
ment of agriculture are, for the most
part. very wise and very efficient and un-
doubtedly are performing a great serv-
ice for modern civilization
POSTAL OFFICIALS.
Postal officials travel more probably,
than those of any other department of
the government, except it be the army
and navy. That, however, is a service
very near the people. AS the postoffice
department is we'll nigh self-supporting
now according to ,the method of book
keeping followed by its accountants,
these postal journeys are paid for out
of the proceeds of postage stamp sales.
The war department has the great trav-
ell of all the government Oficers and
enlisted men must be transported long
distances and by the thousands and tens
of thousands. There is a smaller, but
none the less fat travel account for the
navy. The interior department. admin
istering great affairs and enterprises in
the west, likewise spends big sums upon
its travellers.
The government has become a mann
moth business enterprise. There must be
Washington men, from time to time, up
on the ground. Inspection alone costs
millions of dollars.
