OBJECTION TO BLOODY MILK
More Distasteful on Account Of APP
pesrance Than as Menace to
Health--causes for II.

Bloody milk Is more Objectionable,
perhaps. as matter of appearance
than as menace TO health. Hem
orrhages may occur within the udder
as a direct result of n brulse caused
by rapid motion, by a bad position
while the COW is lying down, by the
tread of a COW in an adjoining stall,
or because of the breaking Of 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 a
marked reduction of the ration. A
change of stall may give goods results,
If it 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.

Wild Silk.

An Out-of-the-way Illustration Of the
way the war has affected remote indus
tries is found in the new boom that
the wild silk" industry of Japan is
now undergoing. This silk is called
habutai and derives its wildness not
from the appearance Of the finished
product upon the wearer, hut from the
fact that it is made from the cocoons
of the wild silkworm, which flourish
in many parts of the islands, but
which did not come conspicuously into
public notice until 1907, when there
was preliminary boom, following the
RussO-Japanese war. Exports of silk
in general, meanwhile, have increased
to an amazing extent, the amount for
the first nine months Of 1916 having
been S92,077,O00, as compared with
$4S,S32O 600, an increase of $43, 245, 900
for the period. The increase is due in
part TO increased quantities of the raw
material, but also to much higher
prices paid by the people of the United
States and France, the latter country
still being a heavy buyer, despite war
conditions.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF MILK
That of Cream Will 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. DIR. Charles X. Fran
els of the experiment station depart
ment of chemistry at Oklahoma A. and
NJ. college answers as follows:
The specific gravity of whole milk
at 60 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 1,024. If 1t contains 20 per
cent, the specific gravity will be 1.0094,
and for 30 per cent it will be 09974.

their dams. The one exception proves
the necessity of selecting only prepo-
tent bulls.
In the case of the Holstein cross,
the heifers increased on the average
II per cent in milk and AZ per cent In
butterfat production over their dams,
and the other breeds showed a CORE
spending increase.
In selecting a dairy bull, study the
blood lines in the pedigree and the rec
ords made by his dam and both grand
dams.
Keep production records of your
cows and Gull out the poor producers.
The facts brought out by this ex-
pertinent may be taken as a definite in
dication of the great value Of good
sires in live stock breeding in general.

DAIRY NOTES

Never add warm cream to the cool.
Keep the separator and its surround
ings clean.
More silos mean more stock-and
more fertile soil.
In caring for milk, cleanliness and
cold are two great essentials.
Low temperature and cleanliness
are two factors that largely control
quality In cream.
1t isn't alone the amount of product
cow gives but also the cost Of pro-
ducing II, that determines the value.
Dairy farming may well include the
raising Of dairy stock, hogs and poul-
try in connection with the marketing
of butterfat.
Wash water used In the churn should
be approximately the same tempera-
ture as the buttermilk. or within two

Silver Cleaned by Boiling II.

An easy and effective method of
cleaning furnished silverware, by boil
Ing in soda and salt solution in con-
tact with a clean piece of aluminium
or zinc, is recommended to housewives
by the United States department Of ag-
riculture. The necessary materials are
a graniteware cooking Utensil deep
enough to allow the silverware 10 be
covered by the solution; a clean piece
Of aluminium or zinc, preferably the
former; and baking or washing soda.
The solution, consisting or a teaspoon
full of baking or washing soda and a
like amount of table salt to each quart
of water, is brought to a boil in a
graniteware or enameled utensil. A
sheet Of aluminium or clean zinc Is
dropped in. The furnished sllverware
is then immersed In the solution so
that IL is in contact with the sheet of
aluminium or zinc. The tarnish should
disappear in a few seconds. The sill
yer object should then be removed
from the solution, rinsed, and dried
with soft cloth.

with safety pins, and his trousers are

gray and woody. his eyes are
large. sad, thoughtful, and sometimes
there comes into them, when he is
amused, the flicker of smile-but
that is all.
