The result of the sale of the big

DENMARK'S COW-TFSTING CLUBS.

The cooperative COW testing as
sociations of Denmark have rapidly
increased to about 500 associations.
A man is employed by each associa-
ton to visit the farms and do the
testing every three weeks. He weighs
the milk and keeps accurate record
of the feed consumed, so the net
profit per year of each individual COW
can be ascertained.
Two Copenhagen milk companies
handle over 100, 900 pounds of milk a
day, all of which is produced under
veterinary inspection and in accord
ance with strict rules laid down by
the company.
Inspectors see that every producer
lives up to these rules, which require
cleanliness at every step.
AS soon as drawn, the milk must
be cooled and kept below 80 degrees
Fahrenheit; the slightest off flavor
may cause the bottling plant to re-
fuse the milk.
Then it is pasteurized at $50 degrees
and put into small necked bottles
sealed with corks or expanded pulp
covers.
Milk sold in bulk is sent out in
large sealed cans from which it may
be drawn only through a faucet, over
which must appear a statement of
it's quality.

RECORD BREAKING HORSE SHOW
AT DES MONIES.

The entries in the horse department.
at the Iowa State Fair have filled the
new $50, 900 horse barn full and over
flowing. Six other barns containing
from 40 to 50 animals each will also
be full and there are at present near
ly 100 entries in excess of the stabllng
capacity. Tents and temporary barns
will need to be erected.
The largest importers are not repre-
sented as strongly as in former years.
The chief strength Of the show IS IN
the support of the farm breeders.
American bred entries have come
from as far as Pennsylvania for the
prestige and standing carried by
prizes won at an Iowa State Fair
The show will be the largest and best
that has ever been put on at the state
fair. There will be 241 separate rings
of horses judged during the progress
of the show. A large new judging
ring south of the brick barns has
been constructed. There will be
Judging in the coliseum every fore
noon and every evening during the
night show.

more or less trouble in getting pure
bred cattle to fill up association sales
this fall. The reason is that breeders
who have stock to Gull out are doing
so on the market at these wartime
prices, and the promising cattle of
breeding value they want to hold on
to themselves.

In this way skim, one-half skim,
whole milk and cream may be put
out by the same wagon at prices vary
ing according to the quality without
danger of the purchaser being de-
frauded.
All this milk Is of the same high
sanitary standard. Thirty pounds
of Ice must be provided for every
eleven gallons of milk produced.
There are 1, 100 CO. operative and 300
private creameries in Denmark.
These manufacture over 200, 600. OOO
pounds of butter a year, eighty per
cent of which is exported to Great
Britain. 10 summer the milk is de-
livered twice a day and In winter
once.
Stringent rules are laid down IN
regard to cooling the milk on tne
farm and in not mixing morning 8
and nights milk. All foods which
may impart an Objectionable flavor TO
the milk are forbidden.
The creameries are compelled oy
law to pasteurize all sklmmllk oy
heating to 1870 degrees before it leaves
the creamery, to prevent the spread
of tuberculosis through this medium.
DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.
The universal interest in the prob
lem of increasing dairy profits through
the COW testing associations SHOWS
that dairy farmers are willing to learn
better ways when they have convlnc-
ing proof to sustain theory.
Some dairy farmers who are produc-
ing veal and cream from the same
COWS. milk the COWS partially and let
the calves finish. Pretty rich feed
for the calves for the fat content or
the first milking is about two per
cent fat. A little dairy educatloh
would save 500 year in many diaries
in this one point alone.
If young stock are reduced 10
Walton rations in a drouth stricken
pasture they not only cease to grow
but they suffer let. down in cond1-
t1on from which they are very $40"
to recover.
