COOPERATION BASIS
OF BETTER DAIRYING
Foundation of Profitable Busi-
ness Is in Cooperative
Creamery-PriceS Vary.
CBy R. NJ. WASHBURN, Universit

By R. NJ WASHBURN, University
Farm, st. Paul. Mimi
The foundation of profitable dairy
ing in Minnesota is in the cooperative
creamery. If the time ever comes
when true competition ceases and
dairymen find themselves in the posi-
tion of those IN some of the south
western states, the business of pro-
ducing milk and dairy stock will be
severely handicapped.
Some creameries in the state are
paying from five to eight cents pound
more for butterfat than others, though
all have the same market in which to
sell their butter. The causes of diff
ference in the prices are the quality
of the butter and efficiency in the
management of the business. Machin-
cry better suited to the needs of, the
establishment or a buttermaker better
qualified to do this work well might
improve the quality of the product.

REASONS FOR CREAM
THAT WON'T CHURN
Sometimes Due to Bacteria That
Get Into Milk Utensils
Cause of Tainted Milk.

There is no satisfactory explanation
that always holds good for cream that
foams up and makes about twice it's
former bulk and is finally thrown away
in disgust after the housewife has
churned it for hours without the
slightest sign of butter. Sometimes
it is due to certain bacteria that may
get into the milk utensils or into the
cream.
More often it is some organic pc
culiarity of the COW herself and mani
tests. itself usually after the first half
of the lacteal period. Where the COW
has freshened again the trouble may
never reappear or it may become
chronic, in which case the cow should
be sold.
Tainted milk is often traced to feed
or some kind of weeds or grass the
COW is eating and sometimes to fla
vors and odOrs absorbed from the air
at milking time or in the milkhouse or
cellar. The exact cause of these
things is impossible to determine at
a distance and sometimes a skilled OBJ
server right on the ground can't
find it.

In "SOme Outstanding Factors in
Profitable Farming" Department of

Gates discusses the problem of the
poor man on poor land, and outlines
in brief a plan whereby the man on
impoverished land can Substitute time
and labor for capital and get a start
on the high road to success by the
use of legume crops. He says:
"a vast number of American farmers

tors in profitable farming, in such
cases, consist in a study of what to do
with what they already have.

to be the case at about the time of
freshening, or during the time the COW
is drying up. At both periods there ia
an accumulation of milk that is not
drawn out regularly and consequently
it forms good medium in which bac-
terra can live. When there is much
accumulation of milk, milking should
be done in order to get out these for
eign organisms before they become
harmful. While it is not necessary at
the time Of drying up to encourage
milk production by milking dry, yet it
is much better to milk out small
quantity so as to get all of the organ
isms out of the sinus, than it is to al
low it to accumulate for several days.

DOUCHE is OFTEN NECESSARY
Plan Outlined for Treating Cows for
Sterility and Abortion-Good
Solution in Use.

Frequently the dairyman finds II
necessary to use vaginal douche as
a treatment for abortion and sterility
troubles. The following method is
recommended for such cases:
Secure a large galvanized pail, four
to six gallons in capacity according
to the size of the herd, and fit it with
a stop-cock. Buy a pure gum horse
stomach tube and fit it to the stop
cock. Elevate the pail until it is about
three feet above the COW so that the
liquid will flow freely. This can be
readily done by making use of the
feeding and litter track if there is one
in the barn. When ready to use the
apparatus, insert the stomach tube
into the vagina, open the stopcock
and allow the douching solution to
flow into it by gravity until it is COM
pletely filled. A very good solution
to use is 1 to $500 or 5000 parts
of permanganate Of potash and water.

BUY BEST GRADE OF
OIL FOR MACHINERY
Lubricant tor Gas Tractor Must
Have Sufficient "BOdy" to
Withstand Friction.

CBy D. B. STEFFINS, Engineering De-
partment of South Dakota State Col
lege)
Use the best grade of gas engine
cylinder oil Obtainable in the gas
tractor. The Oil must have sufficient
''body" to withstand the friction and
high temperature of the cylinder and
piston. 1t must also be an oil that
when burned will deposit the least
possible amount of carbon. Oil that
works while the engine burns gasoline
will not always give satisfactory re-
suits when using kerosene or some
less volatile fuel due to the higher
temperature of the piston and cylinder
walls. When using kerosene as a fuel,
very high fire-test lubricating oil
should be used. Never use steam cyl
inder or ordinary machine oil in cyl
inder fabrication, as it will burn and
cause the engine to lose power.

OVERCOME WEAKNESS
OF LEGS IN CHICKS
Trouble in Young Fowls Generally
Caused by Too Much Protein
or Excessive Heat

Leg weakness in chickens is caused
by feeding the young chicks too much
protein or by too much heat in the
brOOder, according to w. A. LippincOtt,
professor of poultry husbandry in the
Kansas State agricultural college. It
is somewhat similar to ricketts, in chill
dren.
In case the broOder is Overheated
reduce the temperature but not to a
degree that will make the chicks un-
comfortable. In case the difficulty is
caused through excess of protein, in
crease the ash by feeding oyster shells.
Leg weakness is generally overcome
when conditions are changed by proper
feeding methods.

SEPARATING A THICK CREAM
Skimmine Highest Product Leaves
More Skim Milk on Farm for
Hogs, Calves and Fowls.

Farmers will make more money by
separating a reasonably thick cream
than a thin cream. Swimming high
test cream leaves more skim milk on
the farm to feed to the hogs, calves
and chickens. Skim milk utilized in
this way has feeding value of about
35 cents per hundred, while If the
milk is left in the cream, nothing is
realized.
The butter maker usually wants a
cream testing around 35 or A per cent
butterfat. In the winter, if the cream
IS above 40 per cent it is rather diff
cult to get the cream all out of one
can into another or into a vat. Cream
testing about 35 per cent in the win
ter and 40 per cent in the summer is
right for buttermaking.

not be entirely eliminated, it seems

1t is well known that sterile milk is

only opportunity for the farmer To-
Gated on poor land, having no capital

of making poor land rich without ex-
tensive capital is through legumes and
sod crops. Many farmers are not
able to buy legume seed. In practi-
cally all regions, however, some class

and from the very small quantity re-
