GOOD NOTES OF DAIRY FARM
Excellent Plan to Have Two Sets OF
Milk Utensils, Always Keeping
Cans Sweet and Clean.

Powdered borax used occasionally
in place OF soap will keep the milk
cans sweet and clean.
1t is a good plan to have two sets
Of milk utensils. Rinse with clear
hot water in which there is handful
Of salt. Use no soap, and let the uten-
sils used for the nights milk have the
sun and air during the day, and those
used for the mornings milk leave the
air at night.
Every dairy barn should be built on
high ground so that the water will
run away from it instead Of toward it
and the ward should be thoroughly
drained with thing
Every calf intended for the dairy
should have its horns eliminated by
the use Of caustic when a week old.
Not one COW in 80 that is confined to
the dairy barn gets as much water as
she needs.
We cannot expect the separator to
work smoothly and easily unless all
of the bearings are all cleaned fire.
quently and oiled every day.
The uneven running of separators is
the cause of imperfect separation.

DAIRYING In EUROPE
First Essential Is Elimination OF
"Star Boarders."
No Country Has Natural Advantages
for Production of Dairy Products
Enjoyed by United states-Ef-
ticient Cows Required.

1t is the history Of the world that
il is not the largest nations that have
done the really great things In the
dairy world it has remained for the
little countries OF Denmark, Heiland
and Scotland to achieve the most eco
nomical production OF high-grade
dairy products. The production of
clean milk is what every American
dairyman must come to before We
can hope to attain for our dairy prod
ucts the high standard OF excellence
so conspicuous in the dairy products
Of the above countries.
In general. European dairymen
have learned most thoroughly that to
make money in dairying the first es-
sential is 10 eliminate every star
boarder' that pulls down the profits,
and TO have good herd, herd in
which every individual COW is an eco
nomical producer of a high order,
The American dairyman should
wake up to the full realization of his
natural advantages in the cheap feed
and good markets, and go at dairying
in earnest, realizing that it requires
brains, study and common sense to
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-01-15

succeed. He should fit up convenient,
substantial and permanent buildings,
and not shift from one phase Of agri-
culture TO another, but stay at dairy
ing for lifetime. In no country does
everything give place to dairying as it
does in Denmark and Holland.
There is no dairy country, though
the land may be worth 81 900 an acre,
that has the natural advantages
for the production Of dairy products
enjoyed by the United States. None Of
the intensive dairy countries OF Eu-
rope can produce and preserve in
good condition for winter feeding Of
dairy cows the amount of digestible
nutrients per acre that can be Sc
cured in our own country with corn
silage and alfalfa hay.
One of the first things that attracts
the attention of the traveller in Hol.
land is the large number OF fine black
and white cattle Everywhere, as far
as the eye can reach, the landscape
was dotted with fine cows. A more
beautiful dairy scene could scarcely be
imagined. History tells US that for
1000 years Holland has been famed for
its cattle Holstein-Freisians are the
cows OF that section, and during the
past 40 years they have spread so rap
idly to America that at present this
breed is found in almost every state
in the Union.
Successful dairying depends largely
upon efficient cows, keeping them
comfortably at all times by properly
supplying their wants, and treating
| them kindly. In this particular the
Dutch cannot be excelled. Holland is
often called the COWS paradise. and
| it we'll deserves the name
The history OF the rise of dairying
| in Denmark is one Of the most inter.
esting and instructive chapters in agri-
| culture. To show the marvellous re-
cent development in Danish dairying
it is only necessary to state that the
receipts from cows at the present time
! are more than II times what they
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-01-15

were 80 years ago. From the million
dairy COWS of Denmark is exported
200,000,000 pounds Of butter a year,
worth s44,000,000.
The Danes do not have as good
climate or soil as is enjoyed in many
parts OF our own country. They have
small patches of different crops and
cannot take advantage of four-horse
teams, large implements and machin-
cry as We can. They cut much grain
by hand and many of their methods
are laborious.
The important question, then, is:
How can the Danes afford to import
and feed our corn, as he does, and
sell his butter in competition with as.
He does this by being close student
OF all the principles OF dairying. He
understands that dairying requires
brains, thought and skill; that he
must have efficient cows, economically
fed and well cared for There must
be great opportunities ahead of the
American dairjman II Denmark can
protitably feed our grain and main
tain through dairy exports. her place
