and the other where the milk is han
died. A plentiful and convenient sup
ply of water is n necessary feature,
and its purity is an obvious requisite,
To make sure that utensils are prop
erly washed, convenient arrangements
for heating water should be provided.
The sanitary dairyman rinses his uten-
sis in cold water Immediately after
using them, and then washes them in
hot water to which soda or some
washing powder has been added.
Brushes are preferable to cloths for
washing as they are more easily kept
clean and do better work. Utensils
should then be sterilized by means of
some form of steam sterilizer.
The milk should be weighed, strain
ed, and cooled in the milk house short
~ after it is brought from the stable.
Straining is intended to remove the
dirt that may have fallen into it, and
is best done with a layer of sterilized
absorbent cotton placed between two
cloths, or by using filter cloth or sim
liar material Such cloths should be
washed just as the utensils are, boiled
five minutes, and then hung in a clean
place TO dry.
Cold Checks Bacteria.
Relatively high temperatures pro-
mote the multiplication of bacteria.
Therefore, it is essential that the milk
be cooled as soon as possible to 80
degrees F. or lower. Ordinary cool
ing can be done satisfactorily by p1ac-
ing the cans in a tank, preferably of
10 kTn co. F,oc, ,Ixy
of ice the tanks can be filed with ice
and water. If he has no ice fairly
good results can be obtained from a
well or spring Of running water. In
either case the cans should be i'm
mersed well up to the necks. Stir
ring with q clean stirrer will also
hasten cooling. a more rapid method
is to run milk over cooler in the in
terror of which is cold, running wa
ter; but if the air is not pure the
milk will be contaminated by this
process.
The United States department of
agriculture is glad to supply any
farmer engaged in dairying with a va
riety of pamphlets relating to sanI-
tary dairy methods, as well as other
equally important questions, such as
keeping the herd free from tubercu-
1osis. While the observance of the
suggestions offered relating to Sani-
tary practices may involve some addi-
tional expense, experience has proved
repeatedly that the direct benefits to
the farmer in the greater demand for
his product more than repay him for
the outlay involved. Every farmer
engaged in dairying will find it profit
able to do his utmost to make the
full milk bottle, so familiar to city
folk, n symbol of purity.

ORIGIN OF MUscovY DUCKS
Breed Comes From South America
and Is Very Active-They Are
Useful for Crossing.

The Muscovy breed of ducks origi-
mated in South America 1t is very
active. The drake weighs from IL to
ID pounds; the female only six to sew
en- pounds. The period of incubation
is from "a to 80 days. The standard
admits two YarietieS-white and col
ored MuscOvy. They are used for
crossing to some extent, and, unlike
most ducks, are rather QuarrelsOme
with one another, and the brakes with
other poultry. They are cared for
just as other ducks. The ducklings
are fed largely on ground food with
plenty of green stun. which may be
put in the mash. Water should be
before all ducks constantly in such a
form that they cannot get into 1t
with their feet. Sand or coarse grav-
ell should be put In the feed once a
day. All ducks must have dry place
to sleep.

BLANCHED FEED FOR HORSES
Select Ration That Seems to Meet
Animals Requirements-Indi-
Viduals Differ.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF AgricuIture)
As no feed or combination of feeds
will meet conditions in all parts of the
country, so no feed or mixture is suit
able for all classes of horses. In
choosing q ration for a horse, select
the one that seems to meet his re-
quirements, whether for growth,
maintenance. work, breeding or fatten-
ing; estimate the amount of feed need
ed and try out the ration. It may ap-
pear after a trial that too little is be-
ing fed or that the ration may be
changed somewhat In the interest of
economy or efficiency. If q number Of
horses are kept, different rations may
be tested on different animals and the
best one selected for general use In
dividual feeding gives the best re-
suits
Feeding stuffs are broadly divided
into two great classes, proteins and
carbohydrates. The protein feeds are
rich in heterogeneous compounds which
are used in the animal body in build
ing tissue, bone, hair, etc, and TO pro-
vide energy; the carbohydrate feeds
are starchy and are used in the animal
body in the formation of fat and also
for energy and heat.
To obtain the best results in feed
ing, the ration should be balanced
properly to meet the needs of the ami
NAL in building tissue and supplying
energy for work. The subject is dis
cussed in detail in the United States
department of agriculture'S Farmers

much as the governments guarantee"
says J. w. Wilson. professor of animal
husbandry at South Dakota State col
lege. Professor Wilson bases this
statement upon the results of expert
ments conducted at the college some
years ago in feeding 44pound wheat in
comparison with 57-psund wheat. Pigs
receiving ground shrunken wheat made
an average daily gain per head of two
pounds. the good wheat producing only
three-tenths of a pound more per day
