For Clean MIX.

With clean cows and clean stables,
the next step should be clean milk
er, and to be a clean mixer does not
necessarily mean that a man must
wear a white duck suit; but it does
mean that he must have clean hands
and clean clothes. The mixer him
self must be neat in his methods of
milking and keep the utensils clean
and sweet Nothing is Of more i'm
portance to healthy cows than to have
plenty of pure, fresh air and every
dairyman should give it to his cows
in abundance.
When COW stops chewing her cud
and shrinks away from the man who
is milking her you may be sure that
he is not a good mixer. He is either
using too much force or else he is
jerking the udder unnecessarily. In
either case he needs a few lessons
in the art Of gentle milking.

DAIRY
FAC
EFFECT OF OATS ON FLAVOR
interesting Experiments Conducted BY
Department Of Agriculture on
Feed Given Cows.

The department Of agriculture re-
Gently reported the result of expert
ments to test the effect of oats on
the flavor of milk. These expert
ments showed that oats do not have
the beneficial effects on the flavor Of
milk which many dairymen believe.
But as corn and bran constituted the
ration tested against oats, the public
has gained the impression erroneous
ly that the department recommends
the feeding Of corn and bran to i'm
prove the flavor Of milk. OF fifty
opinions expressed regarding the
flavor of the samples, twenty-five pre-
ferred the milk from cows fed corn
and bran. AS sixteen preferred the
milk from COWS fed oats and nine ex-
pressed no choice, it does not appear
that either ration has any decided ad-
vantage over the other. There can
be no great superiority in the bran
and corn when one-half of the opin-
ions were either Indifferent or were
In favor OF the other milk. In view
Of these experiments the department
does not recommend the feeding Of
bran and corn to improve the flavor
Of milk. Oats, corn, alfalfa, hay, cot
tonseed meal, linseed meal, bran, glua
ten and other good feeds for dairy
cows when properly fed in reason
able amounts produce a fine-favored
milk, but there is no substantial evi-
dence that any one Of them is su-
perior to any of the others in this
respect
The relative prices Of the different
feeds will determine in most cases
which are to be preferred in making
up a ration for dairy COWS.
