F. Abbott of Maine. The thought with many people is that milk is contami- nated only by the Iptroduction of for- eign bodies directly into the milk, It is true that thie is a prolife source of bad flavored butter and cheese, but not the only one. It does not occur to these farmers that taints may be introduced to these products through the organism of the cow by her breathing an impure and tainted atmosphere. Well authen- ticated. instances are on record where cows at pasture, breathing air polluted by carrion, carried the taint to their milk and seriously affected the whole product of the factories to which the milk was sent. The modern barn, with close tieup and cellar used as a depository for the accumulation of manure through the winter, is more suggestive of taint- ed milk when cows are confined In such quarters. The old, lax notions of allow- ing cows to stand and to lie down In thelr ordure six mohths of thé year, ac- cepting the conditions.of fithiness the cows take on In consequence ar a mat- ter of course, are not yet all obsolete, And yet these farmers think they are targets for persecution if the factory management inalsts upon a reform in their practice on penalty of exclusion from the factory. Neck ef Geed Dairy Cow, The general appearance of the head and neck of a good type of dairy cow as seen from the front while looking down ia brought out very nicely ip the illustration reproduced from farmers’ ’ DAIRY COW'S WRECK AS BEEN FROM ABOVE AND IN FRONT, bulletin No. 143 Issued by the United States department of agriculture. The thinness of the neck on top and the flatness on the side characteristic of the type are very well shown. The fine ness of the neck where it blends with the head and the freedom from dewilap show breecing and quality. The spare- ness of flesh desired in the dairy type and the fatness of the neck where It joina the shoulder make the neck vein very marked in this class of animals— so invuch so, in fact. that the shoulder seems to be abnormally developed when compared wiib the beef type. Don't Keep Milk Too Lene. One of the most common mistakes In making butter on the farm, particular- ly during the winter, is in keeping the milk too long. A low temperature of the cream prevents. or, rather, retards, fermentation 6r souring, and it is often the case that the cream ls kept until it is bitter in order to secure a proper acidity, dod it is impossible to make a good-quality of butter from bitter creain, Seurces of Acid Organiames. Mr. R. UL. Burr of the Storrs (Conn.) agricultural experiment station de scribes some tovestigations on the sources of the acid organisms concern- ed in the souring of milk. He drew milk from cows in such ways that part of the milk was not exposed to exter nal contamination, while the rest was freely exposed during the milking and after. The former contained no acid organisms and remained sweet, while the latter did contain the organisms and became sour and curdied in the usual manver, Furthermore, in post- mortem bactereological” examinations of the udders of cows he found no acid organisms present. He thus shows that these bacteria get Into tf milk after it is drawn. He also shows that they come from the dust and dirt from the alr, the stable and the cow. The importance of a knowledge of these facts to dairywen is pointed out. A Wett ved Compliment. Referring to the utter contests which bave been on in Minne- sota for the past ‘twelve months, the Dairy Record, published in St. Paal, Minn., says: “Professor Haecker is en- titled to a good share of the credit, as he was the originator of the monthly contests and beiped lustitute them and has dove all be could to make a suc cess of them. The professor is ever ready to help I» any project which will advance the dairy industry, and be is in a position where be may be and has been of great belp to the dairymen and butter makers in general, and there Is no man In the state who has worked so hard and accomplished as much which has helped in the upbuliding of dairy- ing as Professor Haecker.” The Kaowalls, Now and then we run against people who can be taught nothing more in re- gard to dairying.

Is that of right milking, Anybody on the farm who can squeese & stream of milk out of a cow's teat is eet at the task, And those who do not know how, provided they are a part of the farm's working force, are made te learn. Milking is a chore not requiring mueh strength and on the ordinary farny considered as not requiring great skill, Lf the cows have any milk, the ordinary milker can get it. What more ls asked? When butter is sold for 12 cents per pound, there is no incentive to palne taking milking, but where milk or but- ter has become ot# of the farm's staple products care in milking is worth while. The large number of cows on some farna, to be sure, requires all the Uelp availiable, but the youngsters and inexperienced men should be well taught before they become regular helpers. The first principle of teaching should be cleanlinesa, A milker with clothes so grimy that particics of dirt and dust fall into the milk and. whose hands could be benefited by soapsuds needs a@ lesson; ditto the person who sticks his fingers into the milk pall or milks on his bands so assto wet the cows’ teats, In addition to cleqalivess on the part of the milker cnre in thoroughly brushing off the cows’ udders should be insisted upon and particular care that either through kicking, switch! or otherwise none of the stable’s fi) gets into the milk. The hent way to guard against such accidents is to have the stable clean, After cleanliness comes efficiency, It includes good ways of holding the teat, rapidity and thoroughness of uillking. The teat, if not too short, should be grasped with the whole band, the in dex Gnger and thumb pressing, as the hand closes, a little more firmly than the lower Angers, thus forcing the milk downward instead of upward, Milking with the thumb and one or two fingers, slipping them down the teat, is to be condemned, since It is neither quicker nor easier than the whole hand way and calls for the filthy practice of wet ting the teats, Thoronghness means getting the last and richest drop, Lt ls necessary to milk dry, all dairymen know, if the cow is to be kept up with her milk. Rapidity of milking, unless it be violent, stimulates the milk dow, Finally comes the treatment of the cow. It is of great Importance, with the nervous cow perbaps of first impor- tance. Singing of a boisterous kind, whistling, chattering, loud talking, to any nothing of rough bandling, certain. ly does not make the cow more com: fortable and therefore cannot be con- ductive to a full, steady flow of milk. And do not treat the cow to an Indif- ferent wilker every day and to irregu- lar hours of milking. Kecause of mere changing about of milkers we have frequently noticed in herds of Ofteen or twenty cows a decrense of 10 per cent in a day's milk, Let each cow be come acquainted with ber milker and let the milker stick by ber. All of these things—cicaniiness, effi- clency and careful treatment of the cow—are matters of economy, for If all the cow has is to begot from her and the product Is tobe marketed In first class style they must receive attention. They must be taught the new milkers. omestead, ie NG. I have a silo I have Glied for two years with pea vine ensilage, for which I have paid $2 per ton for what I have bought.
