PULLETs AND EGGS.
Birds Should Not Be Forced to Lay
Before They Are the Standard Size.

Pullets that were Matched in Feb
ruary or March should be in the lay
ing house by this time and about
ready to lay. Poultry keepers should
watch their pullets carefully at this
season of the year. and instead Of
putting them all into the laying house
at one time, make several selections,
picking out the birds that show that
they are about to mature and putting
them into winter quarters and allow
ing those which are slower to de-
velop to remain a while longer on the
range
1t does not pay to force pullets with
concentrated rations to lay before they
have reached good size. There is a
tendency on the part Of all breeds to
decrease year after year in size IN
less a special effort is made to main
tain a certain standard of weight.
This can only be accomplished by
keeping the birds on the rangs until
they have reached that standard be-
fore they are forced for egg produc-
ton. Leghorns which were Matched in
March and April arc. ready to lay at
this time. Heavier breeds which
were Matched early in March are also
large enough to begin to lay eggs.
Leghorns should be allowed five
months before being placed in the
laying house, and Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Islands Reds and Wyandottes 6
70 1-2 months.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

starter on hand, renewing it as often
as necessary. Cover the vat to keep
) out flies and dirt, and ripen the milk
at temperature of from so degrees
to 20 degrees f. The ripening tenn
perature will depend upon the amount
of starter added and the length OF
time which the milk has to set. Ripen
the milk until it is coagulated into q
rather soft curd. If the milk ripens to
rapidly, run cold water around the vat
to check the process. When the milk
is ready, strain into the churn for
about 20 minutes, or until the butter
has gathered in small granules. The
milk should be churned at 55 degrees
to 65 degrees F. When butter comes,
strain the butternilk and cool it at
once, using a cooler If possible. If no
cooler is available. put the cans i'm
nlediately into a tank CT ice water or
a refrigerator. If possible bottle the
retail buttermilk at once. Many firms
use brown bottles for buttermilk,
which seems to be good plan, as no
mistakes will be made in delivery, and
the bottles can be kept separate for
washing. Whenever possible use a
separate bother for buttermilk. If this
is not possible. particular care should
be taken in washing and sterilizipL:
the machine after buttermilk is
handled.

CREAM LOSS.
Due in Many Cases to Turning Sep
arator Too Slowly.

At Purdue University the Expert
ment Station collected and published
a. lot of data showing the appalling loss
in cream due to the universal tendency
of separator operators to turn the
machine too slowly. Their Bulletin No.
116, volume Is, was revelation to
many, many dairymen, who had been
losing anywhere up to 500 per year
worth of butterfat, simply by turning
their separators below speed.
At the fairs recently leading speed
ometer manufacturer had thousands of
tests run to get further proofs positive
that a great majority of operators turn
their machines below speed. Over 50
per cent. of the dairymen turned their
machines too slowly. And a majority
turned them so far below speed that
they were losing pounds and pounds Of
butterfat every week.
A speedoneter, however, affords no
guarantee against cream loss. 1t re-
quires constant watching and many
machines thus equipped are still turned
below speed much of the time. Es-
pecially is this true when the separa-
ton of the milk must be left to the
boys or the hired man."
Get a separator which Skins clean
regardless of speed.

IN SELECTING BREEDERS.
Should Constantly Keep in Mind What
Constitutional Vigor Stands For.

It must be admitted that the only
sure way of telling a drone from 6, high
producing hen is by the aid of the
trapnest. But many of the poultry
raisers and farmers who keep small
f1ocks cannot afford to have this. The
method of breeding for production is
such a deep, slow, and painstaking
proposition that most of the poultry
raisers will have to rely on some poul-
try breeder, whom we may call a spec
ialist and from whom we can buy our
breeding cock birds. Inbrseding and
line breeding are without question the
only sure methods of obtaining high
producing females. I mention at this
time the Percheron breed of horses
only as affording a great example of
inbreeding and Of prepotency. Most of
our wonderful Percherons can be
traced back in several lines to two
stations. In selecting our breeders.
however, we should constantly keep q
picture before US of what constitutional
vtgor stands for according to D. b.
Warner of the Poultry Department,
Connecticut Agricultural College.
All breeders for the following
springs work should be selected during
the month Of October. Where no trap
nests are used, the following methods
should be found very satisfactory: W
Pale Vent. In comparing two hens,
one o non producer or low PRODUCER
and one a hish-producer, It will be
found that the color Of the vent in the
former will be yellow, whereas the high
producing hen will have a. pale vent.
Pale Beak. The beak also fades in
collar h,it nat quite as readily as the

MILK,
Will You Have Yours With or Without
Bacteria and Sediment?

Bacteria and dirt usually are in
friendly association with each other,
especially if the milk be fresh. A good
many times in milk scoring work, milk
which is scored off heavily on sedi-
ment gets nearly a perfect score on
bacteria and the producer of the milk
is led to ask the reason why. 1t is
usually because the milk is fresh and
has been kept cold, and the bacteria
have not had a chance to multiply.
and the relationship between the dirt
and bacteria will soon show itself,
writes Henry J.. Judkins, Dairy De-
partment, Connecticut Agricultural
College.
Bacteria in market milk may or may
but it may he said that all kinds of
bacteria, even our friends the Tactic
acid formers, so useful in cheese and
butter making, affect the STABILITY
of milk
Since it seems conclusive that in
fants, al least, may contract bovine
tuberculosis from the milk of diseased
cows it is desirable to get our raw
milk from tuherculin-teSted animals
found free from the disease.
Occasionally outbreaks Of various
contagious diseases are traced to milk
While this article of food is no more
common as a carrier than many other
foods considering the quantities used
it is unfortunate and does the milk in
dustry harm. Great care should be
taken to prevent these outbreaks, and
all should cooperate here.
No consumer should be satisfied
with milk in which there is considera-
Bile sediment. The consumer can keep
| a close check on this point If he will
examine the bottom of the milk bottle
after ithas stood undisturbed. More
consumers should do this and when
an unclean sample Is found, call it to
the attention of the milkrnan. This
| would result IN the milkman paying
close attention to TIE details of tho
production and handling Of the milk
and would help the production OF
cleaner milk generally.

rate as the color Of the beak, and low

Fairly safe in choosing such birds as
having been high producers.
Late Melting. 1t has been con-
sidered natural for hens to mott some
time during the months of July, Au-
gust and. September, but a few birds
have been noticed to hold their old
moltjng until November or december,
and in some cases not for nearly two
years. Such hens, according to rec
ords obtained from egg laying con-
| tests are IOunu TO De exceptionally
good layers, the poor layers melting
much earlier in the season and sell
dom starting in laying before the fol-
lowing spring.
Activity. Activity is one Of the i'm
portan4 indications of a hens physical
condition and in most cases a good
physical condition means good egg
production.
In short, the method Of selecting
breeding hens where trapnests are nos
used is to select the hens in October
picking out those birds which have
pale vents, pale legs, dull red combs
pale beaks, pale ear lobes, Gin the
MediterraE1ea nsl and those that have
not NOTED, and selling such az are
bright in the parts mentioned.

UTILIZING SURPLUS MILK.
Commercial Manufactrate of ButtermiIk
and Artificial ButtermiIle May Be
Made Profitable.

One of the most economical ways in
which milk plants can dispose Of sur
plus milk, say specialists in the de-
partment, is by the sale of buttermilk
or of artificial buttern1ill1. The depart
ment has recently expressed the opin-
ion that under the Food and Drugs
Act interstate shipments of artificial
butternilk-that is to say, the product
made from SKINNED milk, or from
skinned milk and whole milk which
has not been churned-should be labeled
and sold under name indicating, Its
true character This opinion, however,
does not imply in any way that art-
fetal buttermilk is not healthful and
desirable beverage.
For tho benefit Of those dealers who
do not understand the commercial
manufacture of buttermi1k and arti-
fetal butterTni1k. the department has
issued the following instructions:
Clean, sweet skim milk, or whole
milk, should be used-and pasteuriza-
ton is preferable. as It insEres- a better
product from both a&coEanaercial and O
sanitary standpoint. Better results
are obtained from sRiEn milk if some
whole milk is MIXED with It, as one
part whole milk to- three kparts skim
milk. Run the milk Into water
jacketed vat, and ada good. clean
starter enough to ripper. the milk by
the time wanted for churning. Five tc
ten gallons Of starter for each f0t
gallons Of milk should be ssuff1c ferft
