expensive. Often cows in well-kep.
stables will be dirty from mud In the
pasture or from dusty bedding. Try
using 4 currycomb and brush before
milking.
A great many times the man who
milks will come directly from the

ing the stable, and without changing
clothes or washing his hands will sit
down to milk the COW. Too often
these same men will wet the hands
and allow drippings to fall into the
milk. Wet-milking Is q filthy habit
and out Of date. Try putting on a
clean jacket, washing the hands be-
fore milking and keeping them dry
when milking.
How often do mixers come to the
stable with dirty pail and hang It
up in the stable while the COWS are
being cleaned, bedded and fed. The
dirt In milk utensils is one of the
large sources of bacteria. Try thor
oughly cleaning the utensils With
dairy washing powder, then scald
them with live steam or boiling wa
ter and turn them up in the milk room
to drain till milking time.
Another source Is from the air
Many mixers will use an open pail In
a stable not properly ventilated
where much fine dust floats from the
bedding or from the hay NOW. This
settles into the milk and carries with
1t millions of bacteria. Again the
milk will be strained into a can In
the stable instead of in q milk room
free from dusty stable air. The same
thing happens then as may be Dotloed
when pan of grain II poured hsm
one vessel to another in the wind The
milk Is actually poured through .
dust-laden air and becomes eontami-
mated. Try milking into . sanitary
milk pail which has only . small
opening that may be covered With q
cheese cloth. then bed and hay ne
cows after milking and strain he
milk In the milk room.

The bacteria working In milk en-
ter from two sources, the internal and
the external. Those bacteria already
In the milk before 1t 10 removed from
the udder come from diseased tissues
as In case OF tuberculosis in the AMI
NAL, from Inflammation, o. in case the
udder is injured by bruises or rupture
Of blood vessel as happens often
when the cow Is chased by q dog.
There are also few kinds of bac-
terra that get into the openings or
duct In the teat from the animal wad-
ing in stagnant ponds, lying in dirty
yard or in filthy stables. When once
the bacteria enter the opening in the
teat they find the warmth and food
necessary to rapid development, SO
they multiply until they are removed
by the next milking. There are a
number Of these bacteria which cause

and hard to eradicate.
Those bacteria whose source is ex.

enter the milk after 1t is drawn. This
is the kind which cause dairymen the
most difficulty. They enter the milk
from the body Of the COW, from the

(By 0. 0. CHURCHILL, North Dakots
( Agricultural College.)
When large quantity of succu.
lent feed Ia wanted for any class oi
live stock. no crop is more satisfac,
tory than roots. Only a small area
should be grown, but no stockman
can AFFORD not to plant small patch.
Mangles, turnips, rutabagas and
sugar beets and carrots are grown
Tor this purpose. In growing root
crops the soil should be very well pre-
pared; rich in fertility and mellow.
The roots should be seeded after dan.
ger OF spring frosts have passed. II
best results are to be secured, they
should be seeded in drills about
twenty-five inches apart and thinned
to the proper distances, but in this
state where land 10 cheap, It will be
better to plant them farther apart so
that they may be cultivated with a
two horse cultivator. They should be
cultivated frequently % long as the
work can be done without injuring
he tops. Shallow cultivation 10 best.
Mangsls arc especially adapted for
hogs and chickens They are espe-
cially valuable for brood sows during
the winter time. There are several
varieties, any Of which are satisfac-
tory. They should be thinned to about
twelve inches apart In the row. Great
care must be exercised in harvesting
and storing, as they are very apt to
decay II slightly injured. It will re-
quire from 10 to Is pounds Of seed
per acre. Sugar beets are not so cas-
lily harvested and do not produce as
much per acre as mangles and are
not as good stock food, taking
everything into consideration.
Turnips and rutabagas should be
seeded about three to four pounds
per acre. They must be thinned when
very small or the plants will grow to
tops. Rutabagas especially may be
harvested in almost any way and is
the cheapest root to grow. They can
be topped with hoe or with now
ing machine and pulled by an invert-
ed peg tooth harrow or potato digger,
and any injury to the root 10 not seri-

Carrots are especially adapted for
horse feed. There 10 nothing like
this crop for horses during the winter
time. They are also valuable for
chickens and dairy cows. They are
not liable to disease or are not easily
hurt BY frost. and keep fairly well II
