About Sharing MiIk's Cost.

Serious increases in the cost of pro-
ducing milk have resulted in recent
years from feed and labor problems.
This increase is in keeping with the in
crease in the cost of almost all other
commodities. and the consumer must
expect to pay his portion of any legiti-
mate increase in the cost Of production
occasioned by these conditions.
On the other hand there Is need of
more attention to better management
on the average farm devoted to the
production of milk. The amount of
milk produced per COW is frequently
so low as to reflect seriously on the
business ability of the owner. There
is no good excuse for slack business
methods on the dairy farm. Direc-
tons for keeping records of milk yields
and cost of production are furnished
by each state agricultural college and
by the United States department OF
agriculture.

Producing Quality Beef.

Livestock markets during recent
years have experienced a continual
growing demand for well-fattened beef
animals weighing from 900 to 1900
pounds. In order to meet this demand
and secure the highest prices, breeders
are showing an increased tendency to-
ward finishing off their beef cattle at
younger ages. Stock raisers find it
more profitable to conduct their opera
tions in this manner than to hold their
cattle to advanced ages as was the
custom some years ago, when pasture
land was cheaper than it is at present
Such a demand must necessarily be
supplied by well-finished animals from
fourteen to twenty months old carry
ing large percentage of blood of one
of the early maturing beef breeds.
usually that of the Hereford. Aberdeen
Angus, or Shorthorn. To distinguish
them from animals Of other beef
classes. these yearlings have come to
be designated as baby beeves. The use
of better bulls with consequent i'm
proyement in quality and early matur-
ity is an essential in the production
of baby beef. The preparation for mar
ket of this class Of beeves requires

Keep a Clean Cow Barn.

The most common defect In dairy
stables is lack of cleanliness; cob
webs on the ceiling and manure on the
walls are too common In some places.
The dairyman must not allow cobwebs,
dust or dirt to accumulate II he ex-
poets to produce the highest grade Of
milk. With a tight, smooth ceiling and
smooth walls without lodges this Is not
difficult. Whitewash should be freely
applied both to the walls and ceiling
at least twice year, as it helps TO
purify the stable and to keep. 1t light.
An abundance of light Is necessary !:
four square feet of glass for each COW
Is generally sufficient If the windows
are well distributed and not obstructed
in any way. If the stable is located
with its length north and south It re-
ceiyes the purifying benefits of both
morning and afternoon sun.

MILK THAT is SPILLED
WOULD FEED THOUSANDS

We spill too much milk. There
Is no use to cry over IL after
wards, but precautions before 1t
happens would help consider
! ably.
I In an investigation not long
ago. dairy specialists OF the
United States department OF az
.. riculture learned that losses in
I handling milk In the city plant
: averaged 2.15 per cent of the
, amount handled by Al dealers.
At that rate dealer handling
7 5000 gallons a day would lose
! 1914 gallons daily, or nearly
10000 gallons in a year.
! The departments specialists
! name nine leaks for these losses.
Milk-plant men especially can
7 stop them, but anyone who
handles milk cans will be able
7 TO help. Here are the ways In
! which losses are most likely to
! occur:
! /. Leaky cans.
! 2. Careless handling of cans,
I both in transferring from cars
and in dumping.
I 3. Inefficient draining of cans.
4. Leaky or battered appa-
7 ratus.
5. Filters out of repair, as
leaky valves.
: 6. Losses at the filler. This
may be caused by the valves not
being properly adjusted, care
I lessness in handling. breakage Of
{ bottles. etc.
Z. Carelessness In handling
! full cases of milk. thus break
I ing the bottles.
I 8. Loss from not removing all
s the milk from the pasteurizer,
{ pipes, pumps, tanks. or other ap-
( paratus.
Z 8. Loss during the process of
6 pasteurizing and clarifying by
{ evaporation and mechanical
6 wastage.

for Better Oairying.

Dairy products are essential to the
well-being of The nation, and the dairy
cow produces more food with less feed
than any other of our domestic ami
mails. Before the war the United
States received dairy products from
about twenty foreign countries; now
these supplies have been largely
stopped and 1t has become necessary
not only to replace them at home, but
also TO export large quantities. In
1914, for instance, we imported ap-
proximately 64,000,00o pounds more of
dairy products than we exported, not
including fresh milk and cream In
1917 we exported 320,000,000 pounds
more than we imported.
Our Milk Flow in 1917.
The total amount of milk produced
in this country in 1917 is estimated to
be SIGH $50 GOO pounds. Large losses
occur, and the greatest is through the
failure fully to utilize skinned milk
and buttermilk for human food. These
products have all of the food value of
the 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-
tluce in the form of meat if fed to live
stock. The possibilities of increasing
the supply of food by the fuller utiliza-
ton of these by-products are enormous.
In brief, there should be better utili-
cation Of skinned milk and buttermilk.
both as food on the farm and through
the market
Ways to Better Dairying.
Better results in dairying may be Sc
cured 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 inefficient; by feeding according to
production so as to secure the greatest
yield of milk with the least quantity
of feed, which necessitates a record
of production of Individual cows; by
the full utilization in the community
of good bulls throughout the entire
period of their usefulness and to their
full capncity; and by the prompt con-
troll of disease.
