The matter OF properly caring for
milk from the time 1t is produced until
At is delivered to the factory or con-
verted into a finished product is OF
more Importance than the average far
Jmer is apt to think. Milk is a very
.perishable material and, unless strict
precautions are exercised, it will de-
seriorate in quality rather fast. Warm
milk provides almost an ideal media
for the growing of many undesirable
types of bacteria. Upon cooling, how
ever, we find that the growth of the
germs is retarded to a very great ex-
tent. In other words, milk, as it comes
rom the cow, will sour in a short
time but il cooled to so or So F., it
will keep for several days.
The germ or bacteria which cause
this action may get into the milk at va
rious times. The chief place. however,
IS at the time it is produced or at milk
ing time. A cows udder and teats, I'M
der ordinary conditions, is covered
with dirt or filth which carries mil
dions of germs. If, in the process of
milking. some of this material falls
into the milk, the bacteria at once be-
gin to grow. increasing in numbers al
most beyond conception. So rapid
is this process Of growth that it is
essential that milk be cooled almost
Immediately after being produced if
high quality is to be secured.
Just the proper method of handling
milk after 1t is produced is the ques-
ton of greatest importance in this
connection. A few simple directions
may assist those that desire to inn
,prove the quality of their dairy prod
uct. In the first place, it is essential
that the COW be cleaned thoroughly
before milking time. All long hair
should be clipped from the flank and
adder and this part of the cow brush
ed thoroughly each day. Just before
milking it is we'll 70 wipe the udder
with clean, damp cloth and in this
way remove all particles Of dust that
might drop into the milk. Care should

The soil and climate conditions are
particularly favorable to dairying be-
cause all the chief homegrown dairy
feeds can be raised successfully while.
on the other hand, the climate is not

In the face of such facts. more farm

is the logical step toward more inten-

bound 10 be more and more pertinent
I questions to the farmer each year.
A brief review OF the history OF ma
tons and states In our own country
/ that have successfully met the prob
lem of maintaining and improving the
fertility of the soil are those that
have devoted themselves to dairyins
/ One OF the reasons for this is that
less soil fertility is sold in butterfat
than any other farm product. For
every one hundred dollars worth o;
corn q farmer marGets. he loses s34.3s
worth OF soil fertility. whereas hs
loses nine cents worth of soil fertility
for every one hundred dollars worth
of butterfat marketed
At present dairy farming is the lead
ing animal industry of our countr.
and is rapidly gaining in popularit,
because the COW is more economical
producer OF human food than the o.
or the pig.

FINDS HORNET is "GENTLE"
English Mayor Tells of Discovering
Cottage Where They Are Kept
In Hives Like Bees.

London.-Wasps occasionally have
been heard of as pets, but 1t has been
reserved for Major Hurlstone Hardy
to discover that the hornet is "a gen.
tie. inoffensive creature very suitable
for a pet" Writing in knowledge, he
states that, when walking down CHS
wick lane many years ago, he discov-
cred hornets busy around four straw
hives in the front garden of a cot
tage.
Il entered" he says, "and asked the
proprietor to let me observe them.
found that he kept the hornets for
pets and that he had no bees. He
lifted up a hive and let me observe the
queen at work. He said that he felt
no danger whatever"
Major Hardy adds that he personal
ly has mo fear whatever Of these in
nocent and useful creatures, who seem
quite willing to share our dwellings
with us if encouraged to do So"
1t may be recalled that Mr.. Bates in
his account of his experience on the
Amazon states that at first he killed
hornets which flew near his face. But
having observed them closely and not
ed that they killed singing flies,
bouncing upon them as the flies at
tempted TO bit him, he let them alone.
and was rather glad of their company.
1t is suggested that the time may
come when every well-regulated
household will keep its hornet to deal
with flies, as it now keeps its big
dog to guard against burglars.

be exercised in regard to keeping the
tail clean. as a filthy switch will COLI
taminate the milk as readily as any
other factor.
The next point TO consider is that
of the milk pail A bucket that is used
for this purpose should be so construct
ed that thorough cleaning is possible.
All seams or crevices should be filed
with solder and the opening at the
top Of the pail made as small as
practical. Experience in the use OF
covered top pail proves them to be al
most as convenient as the exposed
or open top type.
A factor that one should guard close
ly is the matter of personal cleanli-
ness of the mixer. Soiled clothes,
dirty hands, or filthy habits are not
conducive to clean milk and should
never be tolerated. Personal cleanli-
ness is absolutely essential to clean
milk and there is no excuse for toler-
ating a mixer that is not careful in
regard to his person. Another factor
that should be considered in order that
clean milk may be produced is that of
the dairy barn. If the floor is con-
structed of some material that abb
serbs the urine and becomes filthy,
the odors thus produced will faint
the milk very much. The ceiling, also.
should be kept clean SO that dust and
dirt will not have an opportunity to fall
into the open pals. Simple construc-
ton of the managers, stall partition and
stanchion frames will assist very much
in producing a clean, wholesome ar
ticle. One important point to be offer
ed in regard to the care of milk is that
of the methods of reducing the tenn
perature This may be accomplished
either by placing the milk in cans and
setting them in cold water or by some
patented milk cooler SO constructed
that the milk is cooled by simply pass
! ing the milk over its surface. Either
method is good although the latter
method exposes the milk TO the air and
permits the bad odors to escape by
/ bringing it in contact with pure air.

ATTENTION NEEDED BY EWES
Ample Supply of Dry Fodder Is One
of First Essentials-Give Atten-
ton to lameness.
Ry W. r. GILBERTl

By W. r. CELEBRITY
IL is well TO see that the eve 1ock
has an ample supply OF dry fodder.
Nothing Is better for them than good,
we'll got hay. Ewes should never, un-
der any circumstances, be allowed TO
have roots alone nor should they be
fed on roots and grain, or grain and
cake.
Those who feed this and omit the
hay are spending money in waste. A
judicious combination Of all these
would form the ideal food and give
the best results alike to the dam and
its offspring. The lamb must not be
neglected.
Provision must always be made
too that dry lairage can be secured
with good shelter from the wet and
wind and a separate pen be provided
in which specially prepared food suit
able to the palate OF the young lamb
should be placed, care being taken
that only a small quantity at time
should be placed in the trough and
that any left over should be removed
before a fresh lot is given.
In the f1ocks where there is any
signs of lameness in the ewes atten-
ton should be at once given. No
matter how slight, the ailment should
be Immediately removed from the
flock and not allowed to run with
them again until a cure has been ef-
fected.
Lameness among the ewes means
lameness among the lambs and there
is probably no greater source Of loss
among young lambs than this.

American people are appreciating
more and more the food value OF milk
and its products and are, therefore,
,demandiI G larger supplies. IL Is esti'
,mated that one and one-half quarts OF
milk are equivalent TO one pound OF
Holm steak in protein and fuel value.
a pound of loin steak costs twenty
five cents. whereas the cost of one and
'one,half quarts of milk is twelve ara
,one-half cents when milk sells at eight
,cents per quart. Ii is, therefore, SHOWN
IN this case that animal food nutrients
can be supplied in milk at a fifty per
cent less cost than in loin steak. which
IS a point worthy of notice to those
who would cut down the high cost OF
living.
