falling into the milk. The mixer will
soon learn how to handle the small tor
pail, and will find it indispensable in
producing a high grade of milk. The
tests proved this pail superior as well
TO several makes of so-called sanitary
pals. both in the ease with which it
could be cleaned and in cutting down
the number of bacteria.
Still more satisfactory results were
secured when in addition, the udders
were kept clipped and before each
milking rubbed with glycerine, sweet
oil or vaseline. Clipping by itself
helped greatly in keeping the cows in
a sanitary condition and in reducing
the cost of cleaning the animals. A
combination of these various methods
had the result of reducing the number
of bacteria in one case to one-third and
in another, to one-tenth of the original
count A more detailed account of the
tests may be found in Bulletin No. $50
just issued by the Experiment Station
and to be had for the asking.

HEAVY DRAFT HORSES COMMAND
TOP PRICES.
See That Your Colts Have Every
Chance To Make Strong, Sturdy
Growth.
r. H. RUFFNER.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The class of horses that pay our
farmers best to raise are drafters. A
number of good draft stations are to
be found scattered over the State, but
the great complaint of the farmer is
that when he breeds his mares to
large draft horse, the colts when grown
are very little larger than their dams.
In spite of this, If our colts were prop.
erly fed and cared for from birth. we
should have within few generations
a class of horses large enough to do oul
farm work in a more economical way
than the thousand-pound horse is do
ing it today.
1t Is far better not to try to raise
draft colts If we do not feed them well.
II mare with foal at her side, is fed
plenty of nutritious and milk produc-
ing foods, a foal may more than double
its weight the first month. During the
second month, the colt should be al.
lowed access to little grain, from
which time on until three years old the
colt use its grain feed to the very best
advantage. Fully half its growth
should be made in the first twelve
months of its life. About half as much
gain is made the second year as the
first and half as much again the third
year as the second. The time to think
then Of putting weight on draft
colt is during every month of the first
three years of its growth, not after il
has finished making an under-siZed
frame.
The effects of constant or intermit
tent semi-starvation are to be seen in
every county in the State, yet we have
an abundance of farm feeds in Maryland
from which suitable selection could
be made. We need to bear in mind
that 1t is not the corn in the bin. but
the corn in the colt that makes the rails
ing of draft horses profitable in con
nection with general farming.
A good ration for growing colts is
mixture of so pounds of corn, 40 pounds
of oats, and 10 pounds of bran fed
with clover hay, to be fed at the rate
of one pound of the mixture per day
for every 100 pounds live weight
When the colt has good pasture. hay
is not necessary but the grain should
be given daily If the colt is to make
its most successful growth.

R. w. LAMSON,

Recent experiments have proven
that the number of bacteria to be found
in the average milk product, can be
reduced considerably by the use of a
few simple precautions while milking.
This insures purer milk to the con-
sumner and better price to the pro-
Queer. This result was secured by dis
carding the first streams of fore milk
at each milking, and by substituting
the small top milk pail for the common

Mediocre ability, we'll developed
and properly planted, will produce a
larger tree of success than will ex-
traordinary ability, scattered or un-
cared for.
Not a small percentage of failures
have more than ordinary ability.
They have a natural capacity for do

they have. They are like the miser
who never uses what he has earned
or what has been given to him.
Don't worry about your inability.
What you don't have you can't ae-
quire. Instead of deploring your
condition, marshal all your forces,
get together everything you possess,
and use them all to the best ad-

Even if you are dull and below

make something of yourself by using
what you have; and you will ac-
complish more in the long run than

it comes to him unsolicited.
1t is what you do with what you
have, as much as what you have,
that counts in every line of accom-
plishment. Success in your case,
whether you possess great or little
ability, consists of making the best

best with it, of reaching the high

you should do no less.
