WHAT MAKES MILK AND
BUTTER YELLOW?
The Kind of Feed More Important
Than the Kind of Breed, Expert
ments Show.

That the rich yellow color demanded
by the public in dairy products is pri-
marily due to the character of the
cows feed, is demonstrated by recent
experiments carried on by the L. S.
Department of Agriculture in COOP
Grafton with the Missouri State ExA
pertinent Station. For some years
dairy experts have been studying this
question. Their conclusion is that, al
though to some extent a breed char
acteristic, the intensity of this yellow
color may, within certain limits, be in
creased or diminished at will by
changing the animals rations.
Chemical tests show that the yellow
pigment in milk consists of several
well-known pigments found in green
plants. Of these the principal one is
carotin, so called because it consti-
tutes large part of the coloring mat
ter OF carrots. The other yellow pig
ments in the milk are known as KAN
thophylls. These are found in a num-
Der OF plants, including grass, but are
especially abundant in yellow autumn
leaves.
These pigments pass directly from
the Iced INTO the milk This explains
the well-known fact that fresh green
gc&ss and carrots increase the yellow
ness OF butter, the only standard by
Whlch the average person judges its
rlchness. On the other hand, large
proportion OF these pigments is depos-
lieu III the body fat and elsewhere In
the COW. When the ration is changed
TO one containing fewer carotin anA
Xanthophyl constituents, this hoaTdn
ed store is gradually drawn upon and
IN consequence the yellowness of the
milk does not diminish so rapidly as it
otherwlse would. This yellowness in
creaSes, however, the instant the nee
essary plant pigments are restored TO
the ration.
Green grass is probably richer in
carotln than any other dairy feed
COWS fed on it will therefore produce
the highest colored butter Green
corn, in which xanthophylls constitute
the chief pigment, will also produce a
highly colored product. On the other
hand ration of bleached clover hay
and yellow corn is practically devoid
OF yellow pigments and the milk from
COWS fed upon it will gradually lose
its color. 1t is, of course, indisputably
true that the breed does influence the
color of the milk fat; but vary the
ration and there will be a CORRESPOND
ing variation in the color of the milk
fat in each breed.
In cows of the Jersey and Guernsey
breeds the body fat is frequently of
such a deep yellow color that some
butchers and consumers look with dis
favor upon beef from these breeds.
For this prejudice there is absolutely
no justification. The yellowness of
the fat springs from the same causes
as the yellowness of the milk fat and
there is no reason for Directing in one
case to the very thing that is priced
in the other.

and the thousand and one other
things which can only be learned By
actual experience they would have
made a success cf the farm, which
would have meant to them happy

at is now proposed 70 form stock
company and establish a practical
school Of agriculture, which will be
termed a Vacation Farm erect 1T
tie summer cottages, SO that family
can have its own individual home life,
and rent il, with a few chickens, Il
good garden, and enough land to raise
supply of vegetables for the win
ter's use.
Certain hours will be devoted to
studying farm methods under actual
conditions on the farm. Certain hours
will be devoted to class room lectures,
where the students can ask questions,
and have them satisfactorily explained
or actually worked cut on the soil
Certain courses IN reading will be
given, and practice in handling farm
machinery.
"Only such families as are intend
ing to buy farm in Michigan will be
accepted, and the objects of the va
cation Farm are:
First, to give prospective farmers
an opportunity to find out whether
they really wish to live on farm or
not before they have invested a cent
in land.

Second, TO prevent such men a.
may buy these lands from making
mistakes which are often made by
those accustomed to different soils
that their success may be assured, ana
that they may become better ana
more successful citizens of this great
state.
Third, to give men an opportunity
to take their families into the country
during the Summer months, and there
study agriculture, returning to the
city in the fall, to earn the money
with which they can buy land after
they have decided that they want to
live on farm, and are fitted for farm
life.
Fourth, to provide the land owners
of the state with customers who by
their training, character, and ability,
are worthy of credit because they
have fitted themselves for the work
they are to do. and under ordinary
circumstances will make success.
"The students who have attended
Vacation Farm will be helped by adj
vice as they may ask for it, and by
the results which may be worked out
at the farm in the future.
"Some plans are now under way to
put Vacation Farm on the map next
spring, and suggestions from you
learned editors, from the practical
farmers. from the city business men,

i'm milk are due to bacteria, common
ly called germs, some of which may
cause disease. The chief source of
bacteria i'm milk is the foreign matter
which finds it's way into milk, such as
small particles of soil or manure,
hairs, dust, old milk, impure wate'
etc, oil of which are carriers Of bac-
terra.
The watchwords of the careful
dairvman should always be cleanliness
and low Temperatures, but more es-
peciallv so during the warm season.
Since it is impossible to exclude all
bacteria from milk, the producer
should aim to exclude as mar has
possible and then to check the growth
of those which have got into the milk
The first may be done by practicing
cleanliness. The cows should be kept
clean by brushing and by wiping off
the fanks and udders. This does not
require much time and is necessary
where the cows have access to marshes
and dirty barnyards. The milking
should take place in clean. well
lighted stable as free from ~; as
possible. The mixer should WV a
clean suit used only when milking.
rather than his dusty working clothes.
Above all he should milk with clean,
DRY hands. But with all the care that
can be exercised some dirt and bac-
terra will be constantly falling whore
milking is in progress. The amount
falling into the milk pail can be great
~ reduced by the use of pail with
a !flall top.
Necessity for Cooling Milk.
The second point, that of checking
the growth of bacteria; can be accom-
plished by cooling the milk to low
temperature, so degrees F. or below,
because bacteria do not readily SSow
at this temperature. The rockingham
be done by pouring the milk over a
cooler or by stirring it in cans set in
cold water. Use a thermometer to
note the temperature. 1t is not suffi-
cient to simply cool the milk, but it
must be kept cold until delivered to
the station or factory. Milk hauled
to the station or factory in hot wealth
er must be covered to protect it from
heat. This can readily be done by
covering the cans with blankets which
have been thoroughly soaked in cold
water. In case of long trips on excep-
tionally hot days it may be necessary
to wet the blankets more than once.
In addition to the above it should be
stated that milk should not be handled
or stored in the stable. 1t is much bet
ter to have a separate milk room or
milk house used for this purpose only,
which can more readily be kept from
dust and odors. Also the proper
cleaning and sterilization of utensils is
a matter of great Importance. The
pals, cans, strainers, etc, should first
be rinsed in lukewarm water, then
thoroughly scrubbed with a brush in
warm water to which some alkali liz
sal soda has been added, and then
rinsed carefully in clean warm water.
If possible the utensils should then be
sterilized by the use of live steam,
but good results may be obtained 6y
dipping in boiling water for minute
or two. This will warm them suffi-
GENTLY so they will dry of their own
heat, making wiping unnecessary.

CARE OF DAIRY PRO
DUCE IN SUMNER
BY c. f. Newlander. Instructor in
Dairying. The Watchword of the
Careful Dairyman Should be
Cleanliness and Goodness"

The dairy interests of the state suf-
fer immense losses every year from
spelling and deterioration of products
during the summer season. These
losses occur all the way from the
dairy farm to the large dealers in
dairy products and are the result of
improper methods of handling milk
on the farm, on the road and in the
shipping stations. From the point of
view of greater profit, as well as that
Of public health, every person who
produces or handles milk should give
thoughtful attention to the means by
which milk may be kept cold and free
from contaminations. The result will
be greater satisfaction to the con-
sumner and greater profits to the pro-
Queer.
Importance of Cleanliness.

We may well stop and consider this
tremendous growth in cities. Where
did all of these people come from ?
Partly from immigration, it is true,
but If you will study the history of
the large majority of our so-called
kings of finance and industry, you will
find that they were farmer boys who
left the farm some fifty years ago and
moved to the city The result is that
IN spite of the increased demand for
food. because more than half of our
population is now residing in the cit
res and not producing food, our farms
are titled by old men, or immigrants
with little means.
The great ranches of the Northwest
have been able to hold up the supply
of grain because of the great inn
provement in agricultural machinery,
and because they had the rich virgin
land from which they could mine the
crops, but which they have not really
titled. The result is that the rich Da-
kota lands, which thirty years ago
produced as high as fifty-six bushels
of wheat to. the acre, are now pro
ducing fifteen bushels, and the rich

Secretary of State Hall has receiv-
ed a consignment of the first volume
of the new codes Of North Dakota
from the Lawyers Cooperative Pub
fishing company, Of Rochester. N. Y.
The copies belonging to the state and
to be used by state officials, are bound
in a dark brown buckram, the same
al the 1918 session lays, which is in
accordance with the provisions OF
law.
The second volume has been ship
ped and will arrive in a few days. The
first volume contains 1895 pages. It
is stated that the second volume will
not be so large. The stock used in
the book is good, and the printing is
strictly f%irst-class, though the face OF
the type is much smaller than that
used heretofore in the codes.
A great value has been added to
the statutory text by the editors in
the annotaticns. These annotations
are in three general classes:
First-Explanatory and critical an
notations, to point out the relation Of
any particular section to other pro
visions in the statutes with particu-
lar reference to appeals or amend
second---Annotations consisting of
amendatory acts, etc.
Second-Annotations consisting or
references to the decisions of the
supreme courts Of other states and Of
all the federal courts that have con
strued similar provisions in other
states. In addition to these refer
ences, similar statutes in other states
have been quite literally cited, par
ticularly those in California. Cita-
