10. Allowing that the manure offsets
the cost Of labor, and that the steers

there been but a dollar margin be-
tween the purchase and selling prices
of steers only 1857 would have been
obtained for each ton OF hulls fed.

Souring of milk is due entirely to
bacteria. If it were possible to keep
those out, milk would never sour; so
the length of time milk will remain
sweet, depends on our ability to limit
the number of bacteria In 1t. To do
this, 1t is important that we know the
ways that the germs get into the milk
and what condition favor their growth
after they are in. Milk is very ex-
cellent food for many bacteria, and
when they once get started they in
crease In numbers rapidly, changing
the sugar of the milk to acid, which
gives it the sour taste and smell and
causes the casein to curd or clabber
Dirt Of every kind carries with 1t more
or less bacteria, so that when 1t en-
tiers the milk it introduces whatever
germs are clinging to 1t. If the dirt
Is entirely, or largely composed Of ma
nure, 1t will always have large num-
Der Of bacteria. Very small particles
of this filth, even as floating dust, will
supply many germs to the milk If It
is allowed to get into it. Any work
around the milking stall just before
milking is likely to scatter some dust
into the air and, this settling, will lodge
in the milk vessels and thus increase
greatly the germs Cow hairs always
have many germs on them and add
their share to the milk If allowed to
get into it. The hands and clothing of
the mixer often carry many germs
and in working over the pals while
milking these are dislodged and drop
into the milk. Cleanliness Of the milk
er is very essential in the handling of
milk. Another source of bacteria in

SAVE THE PLANT FOODS

One of the principal sources of loss
on the average farm is the neglect of
the farmyard manure. 1t is a common
thing to see great piles of the material
around the feeding places, and often
it stays there for long time. 1t is
here that the greatest losses occur,
the waste being brought about by the
teaching and washing out of the SOL
uble plant foods that are In the ma
nure. 1t has been shown time after
time that II the matter is exposed to
the rains, where the food elements
can be washed and drained out. it is
only comparatively short time till
they are all practically gone. II this
material is valuable. because of the

milk is the vessels into which 1t Is
drawn and stored. II these are not
given special care they will introduce
many germs and they are very likely
to introduce the kind which cause the
souring Of milk because these are able
to live in the pals in which milk was
formerly soured. The strainer Is also
likely to have many germs In 1t. Ev.
erything which comes In contact with
milk should frs, have the bacteria
killed out Of them. This may be done
by careful washing and scalding, or
by exposing them to sunlight for some
time. Sunlight will kill all bacteria
which can cause the souring of milk
in comparatively short time II they
are subjected directly to it. There
will always be some bacteria In milk,
even with the best of handling, and
1t Is necessary to do something to pre-
vent these from increasing in num-
bers. Bacteria grow very fast II the
milk is at the right temperature. This
temperature for the souring bacteria
is about that of an ordinary living
room. If the milk is kept at this tenn
perature the bacteria increase very
fast and sour the milk quickly. If, on
the other hand. 1t Is kept at temper
allure about 20 degrees cooler than
this, the germs which cause the sour
ing will grow slowly and the milk will
remain sweet long time. It is very
important that the milk be cooled
soon after it Is MIXED. Tests at the
Experiment Station show that milk
cooled Immediately after milking re-
mains sweet much longer than II al
lowed to cool slowly.

the largest possible supply Of these
elements. Doubtless the best way to
dispose OF such products Is to carry
them to the fields as they are made.
This plan is best carried out with the
aid OF good manure spreader, by
which the material is evenly dis
tributed over the soil. Where pos
sible, some field or fields should be ac-
cessible all the year for such pur-
pose. When 1t rs not practicable to
apply the manure to the soil as pro-
duced, 1t may be cared for best by
keeping 1t tramped in the stalls. Where
1t becomes necessary to clean the
stables or the barn, and the manure
must be cared for till possible to add
to the SOIL 1t should be put under
cover, where 1t Is not subject to leach
ing, and preferably where 1t may be-
kept tramped, packed, and moist or
wet till time to take it to the fields
