The more important question I'M

reflection of a class appeal-the at

After democracy had done away
with mans lace cuffs, frills, wigs, vel

a man to show his class by his clothes,
and so he advertises his prosperity by
dressing up his wife.

Mrs. Hale, SIS nothing short of a shop

come from the merchant who has
goods to sell; we don't know where
we are today, trying to wear all the
styles these merchants are willing to

peculiar incident Of the cam
Arizona republican., 1920-01-23

Now when a man is weighing the milk and setting it down he is apt to notice whether the COW gave more or less than she did the corresponding milking of the day before. A differ ence of one or two pounds will pass unnoticed unless it is weighed. The writer has many times felt sure that a certain COW was giving more milk than she had given the day before, but when weighed and compared With the record it was found to be less, and sometimes when it seemed that there was less milk the scales would show there had been a slight increase. When enc is weighing the milk these little differences are noticed. In the exam pie given here the variations are no more than those which are likely to occur in any herd, but the thoughtful dairyman is apt to look into the cause if he realizes there is an effect. Take for illustration, the COW Brindle, she started in the first of the month with 36 pounds of milk, she has fallen off gradually to 29, while Nigger with ex- actly the same chance has increased from 46 to 49 pounds. We look for the cause. and it may be that we find that the flies have annoyed Brindle more than they have Nigger, or it may be that we have changed milkers and that Brindle doesn't take kindly to the change, or again it may be that she is a little out of sorts and needs a dose of salts to set her right again.

NEEDING OUT STOCK
 REQUIRES MUCH STUDY

No matter how good a judge of cows a man may be it is an impoSsibility for him 10 determine always whether a COW will prodUce 200. 300 or more pounds Of butter fat in year.
 \ COW may have all the marks or a good COW and for some reason fail 10 make good. Tn this respect they are like some men who start out as boys at the head of their class, with every promise of a bright future. but there Is something lacking someway, some where and they fail. and fall to the rear.
 The history of COW testing associa- lions is full of the records or men who have found after a years test of their cows that the COW that was thought 10 be the best was away down in the list while one that had been supposed 10 be of little account was the best of the herd
 The fact of it Is that scales, the Babcock test, and figures are a whole lot more accurate than guess work, and guess work doesn't pay as a rule.
 But the individual dairyman can do something for himself in this way Most datrymen say they can't afford 10 fool with weighing the milk of each cow. that 1t takes too much time. don't pay. and that anyhow they know whether a COW is a good milker or not.

record that she is due to freshen in about two months, so we must turn her dry as soon as possible, but there IS Broncho with five months yet before freshing and almost dry. We look back over her record and find that she gave a large amount of milk for the first two months, but since has been steadily falling off and her total amount for the milking period will be far below what it should be-
 Weeding Out
 The scales alone tell only half the story, for that shows only the quantity, and the quality must be considered, too. So we must test the milk with the Babcock milk tester. First we must get sample, and that is not so simple as it might seem. There is much diff ference between the first milk drawn from the COW and the strippings, fre- quently the first drawn will not test more than one per cent of butter fat while the strippings will run as hign possibly as ten per cent or more. Ob- viously we should not milk out little into a bottle as that would be more inaccurate than a good guess. If we dip a little out of the bucket when we are through milking it will be inaccu- rate because much of the richer milk Is on top, for two reasons: the first is because that the cream is rising all the time that we are milking, and that makes the top Just d liIIle better then the strippings drawn with less force stay on top and do not stir the milk to any extent so the top of a bucket of milk is considerably better than the bottom, and in order to get a fair sample it is necessary. to mix it thoroughly. Now we can mix it fairly well by stirring it if we stir it enough, but much better way is to take two buckets, and pour it from one to the other several times, and then take the sample as soon as it can be dipped out A common kitchen spoon with the handle bent to nearly right angles with the bowl makes a very good sampler and a spoonful will be a pienty. There is apt to be considerable variation in the quality of the milk in different milkings, so a sample from one milking is not enough to get a line on it, we must have at least two, four is better and eight is better still. These sam pies should be put into a pint jar and should be covered to keep flies out. It will be necessary to use a preservative to prevent it from souring, and for this purpose about four to five drops of forty per cent formalin is about the best thing we have ever used for the purpose. Of course these sample jars must have a label and be marked with the name of the COW. Moreover they must be kept in q case locked up so as to keep them out of the hands of children as the formalin is poison
 Testing the milk is something of a subject in itself and will be left for later discussion.
 Having learned from the test the amount of butter fat in the mlik, and having the number of pounds of milk we can calculate the amount of butter

It is the time that makes the alfalfa cost money, and if you feed that to a COW. or allow her to graZe it, and she does not give milk enough to pay the cost of production. you are losing money. so you might as we'll spend q little time to find out whether you are feeding good alfalfa to good cows or to poor ones.
 With our methods of milking in an open corral, it is not so easy to weigh the milk of each COW every time, or even occasionally. but 1t can be done if one has a genuine desire to find out whether or not his cows are cheating him and which cows are helping to swell the balance on the right side of the account.
 A spring scale can DC rigged up in the corral near the gate where the milk is emptied; there should also be a board onto which may be tackled q sheet of paper ruled for the days of the week or for a month, with the names of the cows. and space for recording tho weights of both the morning and evening milk.
