Bitter Milk.

Milk is especially likely to be bitter
In the spring, but this trouble may ap-
pear at any time. II Is almost sure
TO result from (l) eating the last re-
naming weeds in closely grazed pas
lures, t2) bad health of the COW, or
Cd the growth of bacteria in milk.
The cure in each case consists in
finding and removing the cause and
suggestions for doing this are mace
by Percy Werner, Jr., of the Missouri
College of Agriculture.
II the milk becomes bitter after
standing 1t is not the cows fault, but
results from the growth of bacteria
brought in by particles of dirt or ma
nure or left in improperly cleaned
vessels. II the milk Of all the cows
in the herd is bitter when drawn, the
feed is probably at fault and the bit
ter taste will probably disappear IL
the cows are kept in a lot where they
cannot get at weeds. This will give
the pastures better chance to get a
good start. If only one or a few of
the cows give bitter milk it is prob
ably because they are in bad health
or going dry, and their milk should
be kept away from the rest so that
it will not spoil the whole milking.
