DAIPY NOTES
-Ns.a sASN)

One bit OF impurity in the pail may
spoil a whole dairy's milking.
Sunlight and pure air are absolute
ly necessary in the dairy barn.
Dairy farming is one of the most
permanent systems of agriculture.
Just because COW is dry Is no
sign that she does not need any feed.
The by-products OF the dairy In
crease the earning capacity of the
farm.
The constant demand for good
dairy stock makes II a bad policy to
sell the good helfers.
The successful dairyman endeavors
70 raise all the feed needed for his
cows on his own farm.
Success lies not in the number OF
cows that a man keeps. but rather
the kind OF cows he keeps.
The per cent OF butter fat In
cows milk is not sure index TO her
capacity as a buttermaker.
The profit OF COW depends upon
the amount that she yields above the
actual cost of feed and care.
Shrinking cows can hardly be
brought up again this season. DO
your best 10 make them hold up.
The separator should be placed
where the light Is good. Working IN
a dark place IL always a disadyan

SELECTING THE DAIRY BULL
Many Farmers Make Mistake In Try
mo TO Buy Cheap Scrub Rather
Than Good Strong Animal.

A great many farmers who buy a
registered dairy bull make the seri-
GUS mistake OF trying 10 buy n cheap
pure-breed scrub rather than n strong
foundation animal on which to build
the future herd. The only thing they
look for is the fact that the bull is
registered ano Is offered at n Low
price Hut u ever a man needs a
first-ehss animal II IL when he is
starting. Most men start out with
nie idea that they can buy such an
animal for $50 TO 500 But II one
was offered them for 5000 that had
come through a long, careful line Of
wise breeding they would refuse 10
consider H. Right here is where they
make their mistake. when men start
% look for bull price Is the last
thing TO think Of So many farmers
look at this important subject wrong
end foremost Let them really inves-
tigate the breeding policies Of difIer-
ent men and they will see what a seri-
Gus difference there is In the money
value Of one animal over another.
Don't let a few dollars como between
you and prosperity.

Now, for our method OF caring for
the milk: The cows are MIXED regu-
larry morning and night. always be-
ing fed before the milking is begun
The stripping, or lat part OF each
milking, is kept senarate and strained
into the cream Jar. Two jars arc use1
and whenever one is full the next
churning is started.
That is, all fresh cream Is put into
the other Jar. About the time the
second jar is full, the first Is ready to
be churned; sometimes a little before.
II 1t is too slow about ripening. a
little buttermilk is stirred in. In the
winter IT usually requires about "a
hours for the cream TO ripen after the
Jar is full.
The cream Is stirred frequently.
This helps the ripening process. Fresh
milk added to the cream also helps.
The sooner the cream is churned
after II is thick, the better, for il IL
sits too long ii will get too sour. This
and also the peculiar favor found in
butter.
Scalding the cream will also cause
trouble, sometimes. However it should
be kept above freezing always. We
keep our cream Jars near the kitchen
range when the weather is very cold
