1t is not always fully realized that
milk, as it is produced in the udder
of healthy COW, is pure food. The
task of the milk producer having a
healthy herd then is to get the milk
as the cow gives it and keep it clean
and cold
The bacteria which make the milk
spoil and render it unsafe for human
food come from the dirt, or excrement,
on the cows flanks and udder, from
the dust of the barn, from dirty and
unsterilized utensils, and from the
person and clothes Of the mixer Ac-
cordingly, it pays to have the milk
producer keep clean. He should keep
his cows clean, his barn clean, his
milking utensils clean and sterile, and
above all he and his help should be
clean and healthy. 1t is not necessary
to wear expensive clothes to milk in,
but it is important that the mixer
should have clean clothes and clean
hands. 1t is not necessary that the
mixer should have small, white hands
with tapering fingers, but it is neces-
sary that his or her hands be clean
It is not at all essential that the dairy

CARELESSNESS OF
GROWER is COSTLY
Reputation for Perfect Product
and Honesty in Measuring Is
Great Asset for Farmer.

It is time that our fruit growers
and farmers learned to standardize
their products in the same manner as
the manufacturer of staple food arti.
cles. A reputation for perfect prod.
uct, together with honesty in meas
ure and packing is the greatest asset
that the fruit grower has.
The low prices obtained for small
fruits are in many instances due to
the carelessness of the grower. The
prevalent idea among fruit growers
is that when the prices are low, 1t
does not pay to take the care and
pains that should be taken, as the re-
turns do not warrant it. This is
wrong reasoning, for one might argue
with equal reason that when the fruit
is high, the customer will take poor
pack and a poor grade, as the demand
is greater than the supply.
The grading and packing of fruit
should not be regulated by prices OBJ
tanned. If any change or any relaxa-
tion in the ordinary rules of packing
and grading is to be made during a
period of low prices, it should be
made towards greater care, so that
the fruit will sell, regardless Of any
oversupply.
A good example how appearance
sells fruit is found in the Ben Davis
apple. Almost every customer knows
the quality of this particular apple
yet when properly graded and packed
in a new box. the look of the apple
will sell it, regardless of its quality

dairy barns should be plainly con-
structed and free from unnecessary
material, The walls and ceiling should
be comparatively smooth, stall and
hangers tight and sanitary and the
room well lighted and sufficiently large
to furnish an abundant supply of air
for the COWS.
The most important thing is clean
liness. A clean barn, with clean cows,
clean mixer and clean utensils, make
clean milk.
To keep milk pure the producer
must understand the meaning Of
cleanliness. He must know how to
put this understanding into practice.
Mr.. or Mrs. Consumer can help him
by letting him know that they un-
derstand what cleanliness means and
that they are willing to pay the extra
cost of producing clean product. If
the consumer and producer could get
together and talk these things over
the consumer would come to realize
the real problems of the producer
and the producer would be more rea-
sonable and kindly disposed towards
the consumer. The producer would
keep his milk pure, and the consumer
would better appreciate the value OF
a clean product.

BUILDING UP A DAIRY HERD
Not Necessary to Go to Great Expense,
but Few Years of Time Are Re-
qulred for Purpose.

Are you satisfied with your present
nerd of nonpaying common cows? If
not why not begin now to improve
them and get out of the old rut?
When developing the dairy herd from
common stock it is not necessary to
go to great expense, but few years
of time are necessary in which to &C
complish this.
The amount of time called for will
to some extent, be dependent upon the
character Of the stock that you now
have, or the one you intend to use for
a foundation herd.
In some instances two or three gen.
erations Of correct breeding will build
up a common herd to a fine paying
herd. In other instances a longer
time will be required but it should
not require more than four or five
generations to effect the changes
sought.

PLAN TO IMPROVE
YOUR DAIRY HERD
Sin to See Promising Heifer
Calves Sold for Bob Veal
Exchange With Neighbor.

Have you ever thought how much
more rapidly you could improve your
dairy herd If you could plan to make
an exchange of calves with some
neighbor dairymaE who has good COWS
but does not have the taste and facili-
ties for raising his best heifer calves
from his producing COWS? 1t al
ways seems a sin to see nice, promis-
ing heifer calves sold for bob veal,
when some neighbor dairyman was
raising all of his calves without regard
to dairy promise for future use in his
herd. Try and make some sort of an
exchange with your neighbor and see
how rapidly you will be able to i'm
prove your herd. 1t is folly to feed
inferior calves when good ones can be
purchased for practically nothing, ex-
cepting the trouble of taking them
home.

ing the day.
1t is a good plan to have water be-
fore it at all times. This need of the
calf for water is not generally un,
derstood and the young animal is
usually painfully thirsty as well as
hungry at feeding time. The result
Is that it gorges itself with the milk
or drinks too rapidly when it has a
chance. Thus it does not get the full
benefit of the milk and digestive trou-
bles will result. Remember that milk
is the calf's food. Water should be
its drink.

POTATO DIGGER IS

Modern Device Does Cleaner
Work Than Is Usually Done
by Hand-Cost Is Reduced.

Without a digger the work of har-
vesting the crop of potatoes is a long
and tedious task, and every man who
grows this crop should plan to have
enough acres devoted to the crop to
make it profitable for him to own
machine, or at least an interest in one.
The modern potato digger does
cleaner work than is usually done by
hand and fewer of the tubers are in
jured and the expense of harvesting
the crop can be reduced about three
cents per bushel.
The use of the digger is equal to
plowed the ground once when a crop
of wheat or rye succeeds the potato
crop in rotation.
The best machines are the ones that
lift the soil and the tubers from the
row and sift the soil from the tubers
and allow them to fall on the loose
soil in a row.
There are numerous makes of dig
gers in the field, but the only way to
determine which one is best adapted
to the soil of your farm is to have q
