WARM WEATHER DAIRY HINTS
Cleanliness Is of Great Importance
Cream Separator Is Essential
Weed Out Poor Cows

Unclean milk is especially danger
Gus during warm weather.
Remember that the sun is an excel
lent diSinfecting agent. Sun the milk
and cream utensils after washing.
NO dairyman can afford to be with
out a good cream separator. A sepa-
rator removes practically all the fat
from the milk. BY the ordinary skim
ming method from 10 to 25 per cent of
the butterfat is left In the milk.
BY carefully testing and wedding out
the poor cows you can increase the
average production of each COW by
more than forty pounds of butterfat
per year
NO animal that gets only feed
enough to support life can produce a
profit. Feed your COWS a balanced ra-
ton
When farmer makes and sells but
ter and feeds the skim milk to poultry
pigs and calves, he is not sending away
great deal Of his farms fertility.
Keep the FARMS fertility on the farm.
Some farmers would be better off
if they sold their cows and bought
milk and butter. Yet they don't realize
that they are losing real money on ev-
cry "boarder" in their herds. Test
each cow.

STOCKING HABIT is STUPID

we ought not to be stupid in matters
which are connected with our immense

matter, as in others, the young are
quicker to find the right course than
the cautious and timorous old ones.
In the streets of our great cities there

OF ecOnOmizing our supplies is more
appropriate to a large town than the
more radical method of going bare

bad. Perhaps the sandalmakers could
take more account of feminine coquet-

Something interesting is sure to hap
pen to Dosia if she merely starts for a
shopping trip downtown it will end in
some unexpected manner.
"Ill be back in time for luncheon"
she told mother one morning, and
mother smiled.
1--WE know the usual outcome Of
your good intentions, Dosia," she told
her, "and will not expect you until we
see you" And just as Dosia had fin
ished her shopping and was starting
homeward, down came heavy shower.
Immediately she thought of the tea
room nearby, as refuge; she would
lunch here while the storm lasted.
She was enjoying herself immensely
listening to the soft-toned music and
reading the morning paper, when the
pictured face of q man beneath a glar-
ing headline held her attention. 1t was
not that the face was handsome or one
familiar, but just that the eyes
seemed to look into hers in most
compelling hypnotic way. When she
laid the paper aside, there still were
the eyes seeming to stare at her
through the folds.
Some instinct told Dosia that the
man of the picGlre was innocent of the
crime of which he had been accused.
She was unaccountably sure of this,
but why-had he run away? The night
before a limousine belonging to the
noted and wealthy Celestial Mel had
been wrecked by an automobile round

Mel, an occupant of her car at the
time, was now in an adjacent hospital
succumbing to the removal of broken
glass from her hip, as a result Of the
accident. In the meantime detectives
were engaged in hunting down her as
sailant.

noting the mans auto number had led
to the discovery of his name, and the

PROVIDING cows WITH SALT
One Of Things Easily Forgotten While
Animals Are on Pasture in
Summer Months

One of the things so easily forgotten
In the summer months while the cows
are on pasture is to provide them
regularly with salt. The easy way
not to forget it is to place rock salt
where they can get at it every day,
either in the stall while they are be-
ing MIXED or in a trough or box in the
pasture where they can lick it when
ever they have the desire to.
Studies made at the Wisconsin sta
ton by Professors Babcock and Car
lyle showed that COWS actually re-

amount required depending upon the

When judging the capacity of a
COW, it is important to notice the eff
ficiency of her digestive organs by
studying her handling qualities. See
whether her hide is soft, loose, pill
able of medium thickness, and covered
with a soft, silky coat of hair, which
indicates that the organs of digestion
are in perfect working order.
