REMEDY DEFECTS IN BUTTER
inspectors to Sort Out Various
Cummings.

Some Of the defecrs noted by butter
inspectors of the United States depart
ment OF agriculture are: Old cream
Havor. wayy or notified appearance,
too. much salt, and ieakineSS in the
butter. These defects are reported 10
the shipper when the inspection GER
titicate is sent him, so that he may
know why his butter scores low and
may remedy the detects.
The use of churn numbers, So that
the receivers can more readily sort out
separate Cummings, Is urged by food
product inspectors of the bureau of
markets, United States department Of
agriculture. In one lot of butter. for
example, the score. varied from IS to
~. As no churn numbers were shown,
the only way the receiver could sep
arate the butter was by examining ev-
cry tub. If churn numbers had been
shown ii would have been n simple
matter 20 separate the various churn-
ings and sell them according TO score.
1t is moi possible to take time to ex
anime every tub, so the butter is sold
according TO the samples taken. and at
a discount If the samples vary much.
If there should happen to be just n
poor tub in :he shipment and the SYM
pier found it the whole shipment
would suffer: while II churn numbers
were used. only the tubs in that churn-
ing would receive the lower score.

POOR MATCHES IN INCUBATOR
c~arsiesspess In Manipulation OF Ma.
chine 10 Sure to Bring Die
astrous Results.

Many causes for poor catches Of
chicks In %lncubatOrs can he traced to
the operators not educating themselves
on what Is necessary In the way Of
fertile eggs, saving eggs Tor incuba-
ton and taking are Of them. Eggs
for incubation should be kept In a
well ventilated room with medium tenn
perature. All eggs should be turned
at least once every "a hours, and no
eggs should be over ten days or two
weeks old at the outside.
One should be careful to strictly fol-
low the directions accompanying the
incubator. The directions for n
make of machine do not always do
for that of another make. for the
ventilation, regulation, ETC., may be
different.
The principal reason why young
chicks die In the shell about the
eighteenth day Is a poorly ventilated
room.
Other causes than pt rly ventilated
rooms are poorly ventilated i%ncubators,
and eggs are not properly fortified.
An egg poorly fertllized will start to
grow and die for lack Of vitality.
Opening up the incubator during the
latter part of the hatch, or about
the time the chicks begin to pip, let's
out the moisture and dries the chicken
up in the shell, or, In other words,
stops the pores of the shell, and causes
a great many to die. Under no con-
dition should the incubator be opened
after the eighteenth day until the
chicks are entirely Matched.
As Il rule. beginners with %incubators
do not read the book of directions
properly. Many a person who has
seer an incubator. and probably run u
hatch of some other make thinks he
knows all about. It, does not read
the directions and makes a fiat fail.

in the cheaper line of machines where

When a bottle of cream shipped
from Los Angeles to the national dairy

1t was pronounced in perfect condition
by those who examined 1t. Other
samples of milk and cream entered in

taken to keep them clean and to keep
the milk was cooled to Il low tcmpern-

and held there. The success attained
In producing milk OF such long-keep-
Ing qualities and low bacterial count
Is due in a large measure to the cdu-
c%ational value of the local milk and
cream contests which have been eSpe-
cially popular in cities of the Pacific

The bottles of milk. which were
placed In boxes. and surrounded with
crushed ice. were kept at n tempera-

In baggage cars to Chicago, and most
of them were not re-icei along the

on arrival at Chicago showed that of
the various methods of packing, the
insulated box filed with crushed ice
was the most effective. The bottles
of milk in these boxes were entirely
surrounded by the ice. which was
packed in as tightly as possible. One
or two samples packed in ice and

COW TESTING IS PROFITABLE
Concrete Examples Given to Show

There are many reasons why cows

of milk per q was raised from 4,iS7
pounds in the year l9lT-lS. to 1881

creased from $44.95 to SS6.4T per COW.
Another herd made an equally good
record. The production of. 1900
pounds of milk in the year 19lI-lS was
raised to 1926 pounds in 191S-1a, while
the income over cost of feed jumped
from S23.OG to S67.20.
These were not the only herds to
make good records as is shown by
the fact that thestotal yearly average
production of all the COWS in the as
ISOLATION increased from 1900 pounds
in 1917-1S to 5,2l5 pounds in l91S-19.
and butterfat production increased
from 1862 pounds to 202.5 pounds.
But here is the real story: The in

from s54.22 to SS9.6S, an extra $50 in
the dairymen's pockets for each COW
