PREVENTS MANY MILK DOORS
Avoid Feeds Having High Flavor,
Such as Cabbage, Onions and
Bitter Weed, Says Clemson.
Clemson College Bulletin.)

Clemson College Bulletin)
Several farmers have made com.
plant to the division of animal hus-
bandry and dairying of Clemson col
lege that the milk from their cows
have peculiar smell and will not
churn. Just what is the cause of the
trouble cannot be given, but the fol-
lowing have been found to be the usual
conditions when the complaint is
made: The COW is getting nothing but
dry feed, she has been milking several
months, and there has been q sudden
change in the temperature.
The treatment for all such cases is
to give the COW some green food or
potatoes or turnips. If she is con-
stipated give her one pound of ep-
som salts. Then raise the temperature
Of churning.
Difficult churning is due to trying
to churn whole milk or very thin
cream at too low a temperature hav-
ing the churn too full and churning
1T too slow speed. Butter should
come in not less than % minutes. The
ordinary feed of the COW will not af-
'ect the flavor Of the milk. Feed hav-
ng high flavor as cabbage, onions
md bitter weed will give bad flavor.

YOUNG STOCK is NEGLECTED.
One Extra Pig May Well Pay for Lit
tie Attention Given to the Sow
at narrowing Time.

Probably there is no neglect on the
farm which costs more than the neg
lect of the young pigs, calves, colts,
and lambs, and their mothers. A
male and female must be fed and
cared for during certain period of
time for every young produced. 1t,
therefore. costs. and costs more than
often suspected, to produce the young
farm animals. 1t is consequently
worse than folly TO neglect the moth
ers at the time the young are born.
One extra pig saved may well pay for
some attention to the sow at farrow-
ing. 1t is gross error, the popular
belief that the SOW which farrows in
the woods produces the most pigs. On
an average she produces less pigs. be-
cause she loses more at and shortly af.
