CLEANLINESS IN THE DAIRY
Most Common Source of Filth Is Cow
at Milking, Time-Avoid Practice
Of Wettlng Hands.

The hands should never be wet when
milking. Some mixers follow the
practice Of wetting their hands by
dipping them into the milk. This is
a. filthy habit and Introduces q great
many bacteria into the milk. These
bacteria have their effect, first, upon
the flavor of the milk and cream; and
later upon the butter.
The most common source of filth in
milk is the COW at milking time. II
she has cake of manure on her side,
it is almost impossible to milk her
without getting some Of the manure II

CEMENT FLOORS FOR STABLE
Cutters Should Be Laid First With
Slight Fall at One End-Use
Wooden Trowel for Finishing.

When laying cement floors, cutters
should be laid first with a slight fall
to one end. These should be to 6
inches deep and Is to Is inches wide.
The distance from gutter to STAN
chion should be about 4 feet inches
for ordinary cows. Large cows may
need feet 10 inches or feet, while
small heifers require only a foot
stall.
The floor should slope to the gut
ter from each side. The passage be-
hind the cows should be at least s
feet wide to allow cows to pass with
out crowding. The floor should be
finished with wooden trowel rather
than a steel one, as the latter makes
a smooth, slippery finish that when
wet is very difficult for the cows to
walk on safely.
re drains are to be laid to carry on
the liquid manure or the water used
in washing the floors, they must be
put In before the floor is laid.

TEST ALL The DAIRY cows
Wise Move for Farmer to Send I'm
profitable Animals to Butcher
Many Are Mere "Boarders."


II cow Is not we'll qualified for
dairy purposes it does not pay to keep
her for dairy purposes. There is econ
omy in testing all the members OF
dairy herds and sending the unprofit-
able cows to the butcher.
Farmers In San Joaquin county, Cal,
have organized for this purpose.
Farm Adviser Lyons, who is directing
the efforts Of the organization, says:
1.-THE movement is one that means .
great saving to farmers, and 1t is
bound to spread over the entire state.
It will probably be found that 20 and
rs per cent Of the cows in the average
herd are not paying for their keep.
The dairyman will make money by
selling these COWS for beef"

healthy one, first clip the tuft OF
long hair from the opening of the
sheath, then disinfect the penis and
sheath with solution of one-half per
cent Of liquor cresolis compositus,
lysol or trikresol, or per cent creo-
lin or carbolic acid, or / to 1000 po-
tassium permanganate in warm water.
The only apparatus necessary is soft
rubber tube with large funnel at
tached to one end, or an ordinary foun-
tain syringe and, tube would serve the
purpose. The tube should be inserted
into the sheath and the foreskin held
with the hand to prevent the immedi-
ate escape of the fluid. Elevate the
funnel as high as possible, and pour
in the fluid until the preputial sack is
filed. In addition to this, the hair of
the belly and inner sides of the thigh
should be sponged with the antiseptic.
This disinfection should invariably
precede and follow. every service.
An aborting cow should receive inn
mediate attention, and the MAMMAL
should be removed to separate quar-
tiers, where she can receive appropri-
ate treatment. The 'fetus, membranes

gerous and should be gathered up and
destroyed Immediately by burning or
burial in some safe place, and this
followed by thoroughly disinfecting
the stall. The uterus should be irri-
gated daily with one of the antisep-
tics mentioned for the bull, using the
same apparatus, and irrigation should
be continued until discharge ceases.
in addition; the external genitals, root
Of tail, escutcheon, etc., should be
sponged daily with q solution twice as
strong as that used for irrigation, and
this latter treatment should be given
the nonaborters as we'll Should the
preliminary symptoms of abortion be
detected, the animal should be re-
moved. from the herd and treated as
above.
After abortion, breeding should not
again be attempted within two months,
or until the discharge shall have
ceased, as the uterus would not be
not conceive or would abort again in
short time.
Great care should be used in pur.
chasing cattle, and cows not known
to be free from the disease should be
kept in separate quarters until this
point is determined. If a herd bull
is not kept, then great care should be
exercised to- know that the animal
used is free of disease and to see that
he is properly treated both before and
after service.
Whenever 1t becomes necessary to
separate diseased and healthy ami
mails, 1t is especially important that
different attendants and utensils be
provided for the two groups.
1t is manifestly impossible to go
into details within the scope of a short
article, and it. is therefore suggested
that g. competent veterinarian be em-
ployed TO. supervise disinfection Of
premises and advise as to the meth

The antagonism likely to result cannot
be explained here. BY adhering to
this line OF breeding the improvement
should be rapid and continuous at
least for several generations, but the
improvement will be less noticeable

have seating arrangements designed
primarily to meet the requirements
