FEW PRACTICAL DAIRY HINTS
Pure Food Laws Won't Worry If Only
Clean, Wholesome Products Are
Sent to the Markets.

When counting the by-products of
the dairy, do not forget the skim milk
allowed to clabber, of which the de-
licious Dutch or cottage cheese is
made. When not all is needed on the
home table, it can readily be disposed
Of at good prices.
Send out only clean, wholesome food
products, then the pure food laws will
have no worry for you.
Don't feed lice, get rid Of them. If
the stock has been clearly kept, there
will be no lice to get rid Of. Very
seldom is COW or calf lousy when in
good condition. Keep their stalls and
premises clean, give wholesome feed
and enough of it, and the cows will not
raise lice.
A little corn or bran will not hurt
the cows and will save many steps OF
getting up the cows to milk. Don't
forget the salt at the regular time.
Grass requires more salt than did the
dry feed of winter.
Feed the calves enough to have them
do well. Allow them the run of
grassy, shaded lot, and unless sup
piled naturally with water, be sure to
keep some before them.
Too rich feed may give the young
calf indigestion. Guard against this,
as after once becoming out of fix, it is
much harder to regulate. Keep them
we'll and keep them growing. This is
true of all young stock, the only way
to make profit of it is to keep 1t
growing.
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1915-12-16

loose dust can be easily brushed of
with the hands before milking. Do
not allow anyone to milk wet, as this
is a filthy practice.
The cows keep unsoiled on grass in
a night pasture. while if they are kept
in a dry barnyard the loose, ry
manure will stick to their udders and
bodies and drop into the pail. If kept
in the barnyard in rainy weather it is
almost impossible to milk them with
out first washing their udders.
A covered pail closed about two
thirds with a hood, will keep out at
least IS per cent Of the dirt. These
pals are just as convenient to use as
the ordinary ones, and cost little
more.
A strainer will not take out the
fine sediment in milk, but is useful for
taking out hair and other large for
eign stuff and is good for detecting
the dirty mixer. One farmer uses a
strainer made from an ordinary a.
quart tin dishpan. A five-inch hole is
cut in the center of the bottom. A
ring two inches wide and of the same
diameter as the hole is soldered on,
over which another rings slips to hold
the strainer cloth. Huck toweling
makes a very good strainer cloth.
Such a strainer covers a factory can,

PLAN FOR CUTTING FIREWOOD
Farmer Often Cuts Out Very Best Of
Timber and Leaves Poorest
Seek Dead Trees First.

Some farmers are very reckless in
the manner in which they cut their
timber for firewood. Often the very
best of the timber is cut and the poor
est left in the woods. This is mis-.
take, and the farmer should follow
a well-laid plan when getting up wool
for winter use.
He should seek all dead timber first.
There will be great many trees that
have been broken by the storms and
their dead limbs will be on the ground,
Some trees will have been blown down
or will have fallen on account of de-
cay. All the fallen timber should be
gathered up first. This gives the wood
pasture a neat appearance and saves
the cutting Of lot of the good timber.
Then every dead tree should be taken
cut.
If enough dead timber cannot be Sc
sured for frewood, then the green
must be cut. Here person should
exercise good Judgment All young
trees should be left, for they will grow
into large ones after while. 1t is true
they are more easily chopped down
and more quickly chopped into wood,
but a man who pursues this policy is
robbing himself of firewood for the
future. Then all straight tall trees
that are fit for posts should be left

First United States Treasurer.

Alexander Hamilton was the frs,
secretary of the treasury Q7S9-95).
Michael Hillegas was the first United
States treasurer. Hillegas was ap-
pointed to the Office July 20, ITS,
when he and George Clymer were cho-
sen together in the formation of what
was the germ Of the treasury depart
ment. Hillegas served alone through
practically his entire term, however,
as Clymer soon resigned to take seat
as delegate to congress. Hillegas'
term expired September II, 1889, and
he was succeeded by Samuel Meredith.
Both men were from Pennsylvania.
The treasury department was formally
organized by act of September 2, 1888,
but, strictly speaking, this was merely
a reorganization, for the department
under various names had been In exis.
tence since 1775.

prepared by the United STAGES Depart
ment of AgricultureO
One of the most common causes OF
poor quality of butter is the lack or
immediate. thorough cooling of the
cream after separation. The United
States department of agriculture has
made a careful investigation Of con-
ditions existing on large number OF
dairy farms where first-class cream is
produced, and the data obtained shows
that. if properly cooled, cream OF the
best grade can be produced with but
little extra labor or expense.
Dairymen in certain parts of New
England are delivering practically all
their product to the creamerics while
sweet, although the cream is often
held on the farm from one to four
days in summer and from one to seven
days in winter. After it reaches the
creamery it is pasteurized and shipped
q distance Of from SO to 800 miles.
where 1t is sold In the form of sweet
cream. These results are accomplished
by the liberal use Of ice, nearly every
farmer having stored large quantities
in the winter for use in cooling milk
and cream the following summer.
These darymen realize the import
ance of the use of ice and provide
themselves with a suitable supply.
They have followed this practice for
several years, and most of them have
provided a convenient source of sup
ply, suitable houses for storing, and
ice-water tanks for the immediate
cooling of the milk or cream.
Some creameries accept any kind Cf
cream without regard to its condition
when delivered and pay the same
price for all grades of cream. In some
dairy sections noted for the high quail
ity of butter produced, the operators
OF creamerics have found that in order
to get the highest market price for
their butter 1t is necessary to demand
O good clean. raw product, and they
are now grading all cream and Laying
on a quality basis. AS a result the
producers are studying the situation
more closely, as they realize that they
must provide better facilities III caring
for their product. Many creamery
patrons who deliver sweet cream OBJ
ject to having 1t mixed with cream of
inferior grades, so they find 1t to their
advantage to deliver the product in
individual cans.
During the summer months it is sell
dom possible to find ordinary well
water which will cool milk and cream
even to as low a temperature as 80
degrees Fahrenheit. 1t is apparent,
then, that some form of special cool
ing should be provided for this pur-
pose.
Satisfactory Ice-Water Tanks.
For the purpose of securing iniorna-
tion from actual conditions, ice-water
tanks of many different kinds and
shapes, some with and some without
insulation and tieht-fitting covers.
haya been examined on more than 60
farms. The average temperature of
milk and cream which was held in
these tanks was about 40 degre es
