OBJECTION TO BLOODY MILK
More DistastefuI on Account Of Ap-
pearance Than ~ Menace 10
HeaIth-Causes for II

Bloody milk Is more Objectionable,
perhaps, as a matter Of appearance
than as a menace to health. Hem
orrhages may occur within the udder
as direct result Of a bruise caused
by rapid motion, by a bad position
while the COW Is lying down, by the
tread Of cow In an adjoining stall,
or because Of the breaking Of a tiny
blood vessel or the escape Of red cor
puscles through thin vessel walls
Heavy feeding may also produce bloody
milk.
The remedy Is careful milking and
light feeding with laxative foods and
repeated small doses of mild physic.
When the trouble occurs with cows
giving heavy flow of milk and under
heavy feed, improvement follows O
marked reduction of the ration. A
change OF stall may give goods results,
If 1t allows a cow to obtain a better
position and avoid uneven pressure on
the udder while lying down. Cows
with long. heavy udders should be driv-
en- slowly and should not be driven
over high stills.

When asked why they preferred to
have all their cows freshen In the
spring, number Of farmers In a north
western state said positively that win
ter dairying did not pay In that sec
ton. The agent Of the cow-testing
association, therefore, Investigated q
number Of farms to determine wheth-
or It was the best practice In that re-
gion to have cows freshen In the
spring because there Is then plenty Of
grass, and grass Is q cheap feed"
He found that the spring-freshened
cows gave milk for q time while the
pasture was good, but as hot weather
and flies came on, the flow gradually
decreased until by fall they usually
were dry. Az the owners thought II

COWS were allowed to browse around
all the fall, picking up what feed they
could, and In many cases they were
forced to rustic" around the straw
pile all winter. AS result, In the
spring many cows emerged with ribs
showing and were considerably weak
ened by the time they freshened. They
therefore got a poor start In the sea-

Feed the birds a well-balanced ra-
ton and allow them to mott naturally.
Sunflower seed will help to make the
feathers grow and also will help to
make them glossy and attractive. A
good laying ration ought to be good
feather growing ration. Supply plenty
of grain food and some meat. Keep
them free from lice.
The greatest number Of eggs are
laid during the pullet year, and the
next greatest number the year follow
ing. On the average farm II is not
profitable to keep bird for egg pro-
duction after her second year unless
she is especially valuable for breed
ing purposes.
The pullets should be put In their
winter quarters at least month be-
fore they are expected to commence
laying in order that they may become
accustomed to their new quarters.
Only strong vigorous birds should be
put In the laying pen. Keep every
thing around the poultry house sani-
.tary.
A large proportion Of the poultry dis
eases are due to improper feeding.
Feed nothing but foods that are In

METHOD TO DETECT

agent points out, that the average cow,

Scrub Moneymakers.
Many so-called scrub cows the agent
points out, If freshened in the fall and
given the right kind Of feed and treat
ment during the winter before coming
on grass for the latter part Of their
lactation period would prove to be
moneymakers. This opinion seems to
be supported fully by the records of
the contrasting association In the same
general locality. These records show
that the average farm COW that fresh
ems In the fall not only produces more
milk and fat, but also Is more profit

cows which freshened in the fall won

SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF MILK
That Of Cream VIII Necessarily Vary
With Amount Of Butterfat Pres
ent, Says Expert.

A correspondent wants to know the
specific gravity Of whole milk, skim
milk and cream. DR.. Charles X. Fran
els Of the experiment station depart
ment Of chemistry at Oklahoma A. and
M. college answers as follows:
The specific gravity Of whole milk
at go degrees Fahrenheit varies from
1.027 to 1.035. and skim milk per
cent solids 1.036. The specific grav-
ity Of cream will necessarily vary with
the amount of butterfat present. A
10 per cent cream will have a specific
gravity of 1924. If 1t contains 20 per
cent, the specific gravity will be 1.0094,
and for 30 per cent 1t will be 0.9974.
