Splendid Type of Dairy Cow.

320,0dO.000 pounds more than we i'm
ported.
The total amount of milk produced
in this country in 1917 is estimated to
be 84,611, 1856, 900 pounds. Large losses
occur and the greatest is through the
failure fully TO utilize skinned nailk
and buttermilk for human food. These
products have all of the food value
of whole milk except the fat. A given
quantity of them would produce seven
times as much food value In the form
of cottage cheese as they would pro-
duce in the form of meat IL fed to live
stock. The possibilities of increasing
the supply of food by the fuller rtili-
cation Of these by-products are enor-
nous. In brief. there should be bet
ter utilization of skinned milk and
buttermilk, both as food on the farm
and through the market.
Better results in dairying may be
secured by proper sanitation and care
in producing and handling milk. by
better care and utilization of pastures; :.
by raising on the farm adequate sup
plies Of roughage, particularly legumes
and silage, to take the place of grains
SO far as is practicable; by preserving
for dairy purposes all the high-produc-
ing animals and eliminating those that
are t,ineficient; by feeding according
to production so as to secure the
greatest yield of milk with the least
quantity of feed, which necessitates

cows; by the full utilization in the

SANITATION IN THE HOG LOT
Important ais Preventive of Cholera
and Other Diseases-cIeanliness
Is Relied Upon.

prepared by the United States Depart

The greatest drawbacks to the hog
industry that breeders in this country
have to contend with are The losses
through hog cholera, tuberculosis, and
the infestation of the animals, especial
ly young pigs, by parasites. Were it
not for the fecundity of swine their
profitable production in the presence
of these serious diseases would be out
of the question. In the following re-
marks on sanitation no attempt is
made to go into the details of the dis
eases affecting hogs or their treatment.
The object is merely to call attention
to the simple measures which may be
used by any farmer to avoid, to large
extent, the defamation of his herd by
epizootics. Cleanliness and rational
methods of management are relied up
on by thousands of farmers to keep
their herds in health and vigor. They
are the marks of the good farmer and
successful hog breeder.
Hog cholera and swine plague, both
highly fatal diseases characterized by
fever and heavy mortality. are so very
similar that the breeder may regard
them as Identical SO far as his practi-
cal management Of the herd Is con-
cerned. Positive differentiation be

tween the two diseases can only be
made by the most careful bacteriolog-
fca1 tests, and by employing the assist
ance offered by a fully equipped lab
oratory. However, sanitary preventive
methods which are found beneficial
with one Of these diseases win prove
equally efficacious with the other.
There are a few fundamental facts
which the breeder must remember IL
he Is to avoid losses through hog chol-
era or swine plague. The first is that
they are specific diseases caused by
germs. and the contagion cannot be-
spread from one animal to another or
from one herd to another except
through the agency Of these minute or
ganislns. They may be carried in q
multitude of waysby the hogs them
selves, on the clothing of persons. on
vehicles. In feed. by birds. dogs, and
other animals, or by streams. The
breeding or feed Of a hog cannot cause
either disease. although bad methods
may SO weaken the constitution and VI
tally that the animal becomes more
susceptible to them than would other
wise be the case. Since these diseases
can only arise from the presence OF
their specific causative agents. 1t can
readily be seen that dentititon and the

In making this recommendation in
its supplementary production program,
the United States department of agri-
culture points out that dairy products
are essential to the well-being of the
nation and that the dairy COW produces
more food on less feed than any other
of our domestic animals.
Before the war the United States re-
ceived dairy products from about twen-
ty foreign countries; now these sup
plies have been largely stopped and 1t
has become necessary not only to re-
place them at once but also to export
large quantities. In 1914, for instance,
we imported approximately $4,000. 600
pounds more of dairy products than
we exported, not including fresh milk
and cream. In 1917 we exported

These are qualifications that any

''The worst possible blunder the

professor, els to allow itself to be
used by big business in the fight to
keep the farmer in subsection. In
such cases big business uses the
town as a handy club, and when the
