FIND BITTERNESS In CREAM
Frequent Trouble During Winter
Months Is Attributed to Three Diff
ferent Causes.

Bitterness in cream and milk is
frequent trouble during winter months.
Percy Warner, Jr., Of the Missouri
College of Agriculture, attributes it
to the following causes: If milk is
bitter when il is drawn, the trouble
is with the COW or her feed. Very
often COWS give bitter milk toward
the close of their lacteal period. The
old dry weeds of winter pasture also
give rise to a bitter flavor in milk.
The remedy in this case Is to keep
the COW from such pastures.
However, if the bitterness develops
after the milk is drawn, which is most
often the case III winter, it is due to
the growth in 1t Of certain varieties
of bacteria. These bacteria get into
the milk usually from pieces of dirt
or manure from the barn. At low tens
peratures they will develop a bitter
When the dairy is once infested with
such bacteria they may remain in tho
separator, pals, strainers or cooling
tank for long time. To prevent Bit
terness due to this cause, these bac-
terra must be eliminated. This means
that all utensils, separator parts,
strainers and cooling tanks must be
thoroughly washed and scalded. All
dirt should be kept out of the pail
at milking time by keeping the can
clean and using a pail with small
opening.
While making such cleanup the
trouble might be prevented by adding
some sour milk to the cream as soon
as separated and keeping it in warm
place until the batch is sour. Then it
can be cooled and kept, till churning
time. Sour cream seldom turns bitter
unless kept several days.

EFFICIENCY OF CORN

"Were q scotsman to adver-
tise Indian corn by q new name,
recounting it's actual merits
while ingeniously concealing it's
identity, either his words would
be discredited or he would have
an unlimited demand for the
seed of the supposed novelty.
The possibilities Of American
farms in the live stock they may
carry and the animal products
they may turn off are restricted
only by the quantity of corn and
clover or other legume which
the land will produce, and this
under good management seems
almost unlimited."-Dean w. A.

GOOD SIRE VERY ESSENTIAL
Most Practical Means of Improvement
of Any Kind OF Live Stock Is
Through Best Males.

Whether the live stock is cattle,
hogs, sheep or horses, the good ones
are appreciated when sold, and conse-
quently bring higher prices and nor
nally yield greater returns.
The most practical means Of i'm
provement is through the use of good
sires, for the male may become the

OWL IS DAYLIGHT COWARD
But He Is One of the Most Dangerous
of Birds to Be Encountered at
Night.

There are about two hund red kinds
Of owls. Some are tiny owls; some are
big eagle owls, % inches in length,
very fierce and strong, ready to attack
man who goes near, able to kill
fawns and large game birds and to do
battle with the golden eagle. The cour-
age of one of these gofden owls de-
serts it in the daytime, and then little
birds, led by crow, may find it and
drive it into the open and tease and
worry it without danger to themselves.
But when night comes, and the bird
can see, only q mighty eagle dare do
battle with it.
The hawk owl is one Of the owls
which work by day. 1t Is big and
strong and savage. There are owls
with great eur tufts of feathers and
owls with none at all. Some are snowy
white; others are mottled. Some live
in holes in the ground with prairie
dogs and such animals, some make bur-
rows for themselves. But most owls
live in hollow trees or in church bel
fries or other high towers. Among so
many kinds Of owls there are some Of
course that do more good for men than
evil. ',:s-~-
