to a decomposition of curd. It Is most

If It has been the practice to allow
the creum to become quite aour be
fore churning, churning before so much

been completed, draw off ull of tho
buttermilk then add to the butter In
the churn an amount of water equal
to that of the buttermilk. The temper
ature of the water ahould be about two
degrees less thon that of the butter

This' removes the surplus buttermilk

good practice to strain the cream as It

TEACHERB TO OBSERVE FIRE
PREVENTION DAY.
Urg*« That Work Bo Continued
Throughout Week and Every Oay
During the Year.
Insurance CommiMloner James H.
Young has Issued the following letter
to the citizens of North Carolina con
cerning Fire Prevention Day, Octo
ber 9:
"The General Assembly of your
State has done well In naming Octo
ber Bth of each year as 'Fire Preven
tion Day,' and, as required by law,
Governor Blckett has issued a proc
lamation setting aside Tuesday, Octo
ber 9, 1917, as 'Fire Prevention Day.'
It will help the campaign of education
being conducted by this department
to arouse the people of our Stat# to
their individual responsibility In re
ducing this tremendous lire waste.
Approximately three million dollars
worth of property' is destroyed by
fires in this State each year.
"When it Is recognized thai two
thirds of this loss Is preventable, and
can be avoided with even ordinary
care, It would seeai to call not only
for 'Fire Prevention Day,' but that
the people of the State, especially 1h
our cities and towns, should not only
observe this day, but use the whole
Week In Inspecting, cleaning up, and
doing everything possible to save
their property. In fact, I am deter
mined that this campaign shall not
be stopped until not only 'Fire Pre
vention Day,' followed by inspection
week, shall be observed In North Car
olina, but that the citizens of this
State shall realize that this work is
one that calls for their active serv
ices on each and every day, pf the
year. The loss of this property to the
State and her citizens is appalling,
but It cannot be considered when It
Is remembered that not only property
but many lives are lost each year by
the carelessness of our people In re
gard to flres. The people persist In
starting flreß with kerosene oil. In
handling matches oarelessly, In using
gasoline without regard to its dan
ger, and doing many other thlnga
that start and feed 'flres.
"It is hoped the chiefs of fire de
partments and their men of each city
and town will undertake a proper
preparation for the observance of
this day. and that they will have ac
tive aid not only of the municipal au
thorities, but also of the superintend
ents and teachers of our schools, of
(Ire Insurance agents, of business men.
of the women's clubs, and In fact of
all citizens, as isach and every one Is
affected by this annual loss of llfo
and property.
"Let every one enter the full
spirit of the day, and continue this
work of Inspection and cleaning up
through the week with a determina
tion that every day of the year shall
be In his town and home Fire Pre
vention Day. I will take pleasure In
furnishing programs, posters, and
any data that will aid In a proper ob
servance of the day."
In this connection Superintendent
of Public Instruction J. Y. Joyner sent
out the following letter addressed to
the superintendents and teachers of
the public schools of North Carolina:
"In accordanace with an act of the
General Assembly of North Carolina,
the 9th day of October has been des
ignated by proclamation of the Gov
ernor as 'Fire Prevention Day.'
"I urge the co-operation of superin
tendents and teachers with the Btate
Insurance Department In its com
mendable e(Torts to prevent loss of
property and life In North Carolina
from fire. Let every teacher on Mon
day preceding 'Fire Prevention Day'
read to the school chll'dren the procla
mation of the Governor and the let
ter and practical suggestions of the
Insurance Commissioner for the pre
vention of fires. Post these sugges
tions In the school room and careful
ly observe them, not only on 'Fire
Prevention Day.' but throughout the
school term. I have no doubt that
the loss of many school houses In
North Carolina by fire can be pre
vented by the observance of these
simple precautlona, and that the de
struction of much property by fire
now and hereafter can be prevented
by Instructing the school children to
observe these precautions for the pre
vention of unnecessary Area."

Much Depends on Temperament of An»
Imal and Person Who Milks and
Attends to Har. , . '
There has been some little discus
sion recently In the various farm pa
pets on the matter of whether It Is ad
visable to feed cows while milking. It
would seem to me t|iat little advantage
can be gained from such a practice and
there are several noteworthy objec
tions to It, says a writer In an ex
change. Of course, much depends on
the temperament of the cow, and the
person who milks and cares for her.
There are cows with a qnlet disposi
tion and not of a hoggish nature that
will stand quietly while being milked.
In fact few cows will not stand more
quietly during the milking process If
they have nothing else to attract their
attention. If the cow is standing quiet-'
ly she sees the milker when he ap
proached and steps In beside her. She
also gives down her milk more freely
than when she Is attempting to eat
at the same time.
On the other hand, If a cow has her
head down In the manger she will
probably not see the milker when he
approaches, and the first Intimation
she has of his presence Is when he
speaks to, or touches her, and if she
Is of a nervous disposition she wilt
probably Jump back and then continue
to annoy him during the entire process
of milking.
PROPER QUARTERS FOR COWS
Suitable Place Must Be Furnished In
Order to Oct Best Result*—
Provide Ventilation.
To give best results milch cows
should be provided with suitable quar
ters for feeding and milking.' Stalls
should be provided for each cow and
feed boxes and manger racks should
be so arranged that they will be of
easy access for cleaning at least once
every day. Twenty-five dollars, plus
the labor, should fit any ordinary barn
with stalls for five cows and the nec
essary feed boxes, mangers and gut
ters.
Plenty of ventilation Is necessary,
because the cow Is somewhat like the.
human being, she thrives best where
there Is plenty of fresh air available.
Provision should be made to take care
of the manure. This can be done by
providing plenty of bedding In box
stalls, or, If stanchions are used, by
having water-tight gutters about 14
Inches wide and 10 inches deep run
ning full length of the stable.
RATION FOR HOLSTEIN COWS
In Addition to Hay and Bilage Each
Animal Bhould Have Certain
Amount of Grain.
Feed the cows all the clover hay
and silage they will clean up well
without waste. Holsteln cows will,
on the nveruge, eat dally from 10 to
12 pounds of clover hay and 80 to 40
pounds of corn silage. In addition
feed each cow one pound dally of the
Fine Young Holsteln.
following grain mixture for each 4 to
4H pounds of milk she yields: Oat*.
MMpounds; barley, 15 pounds; corn, IB
pounds; and oil meal, 20 pounds.
If the barley and corn cannot be
obtained conveniently a grain mixture
consisting of 70 pound* oats and 80
pounds oil meal may be used and fed
at the rate of one pound dally for
each 4 to 4H pounds of milk each cow
produce*.
CREAM OF HIGH PERCENTAGE
Keepa In Good Condition Longer Than
Thinner Article—Easier Cooled
and Handled. «
Cream that testa from 88 to 40 per
cent will keep in good condition long
er, is more easily cooled, handled,
cost* leas to transport, leaves more
skim-milk on the farm than a thinner
cream. On the other band, with a
heavier cream there is a mechanical
loas by sticking to the aide* of utensil*
when handling, and a quantity may
get Into the milk while separating.

HANDLING MILK IN WINTER
Many FinMn Relax Vigilance In
Cold Weather and Low Grade
of Milk la Produced.
Many farmers who pay strict atten
tion to the correct handling of their
milk and cream daring the hot weath
er relax their vigiiance>duriag the win
ter. The result Is that good milk la
produced daring that part of the year
when good milk la difficult to produce
and a low grade of milk when It is
naturally easy to produce good. Too
much dependence should not be placed
on the natural coolness of the atmos
phere, for the chances are that this
will not suffice. It Is a noted fact that
daring the fall and early winter pur
chasers of milk often find It more dif
ficult to the product from getting
sour than they do during the hot
weather.
Milk should be cooled to at least 60
degrees F. immediately upon being
drawn from the can and kept at that
temperature until used. If the ordi
nary' coolness of the atmosphere la de
pended upon for this. It may be hours
before the milk reaches the required
temperature, and in the meantime mi
crobes have been multiplying which in
• short time will render the milk unfit
for use. To produce first-class milk
the same care is demanded in the win
ter months aa daring the summer,
cleanliness and a correct temperature
being of cardinal Importance kt all
times.
GIVE SORE TEATS ATTENTION
Where Trouble Reaults From improp
er Milking Ointment Made «f
Zlno and Vaeellne.
When cows have sore teats caused
by Improper milking, applying an oint
ment made from 1 dram of oxide of
sine and 1 ounce of vaseline applied
when the soreness la first apparent
will probably be sufficient. If the teats
break out In pimples which form scabs
It is In all probability a case Of cow
pox. In which case the affected cows
should be Isolated from the remainder
of the herd and due precaution taken
to prevent the spread of the disease,
which is very contagions and can be
carried to other cows in the herd on
the hands or clothes of the milker.
Treatment consists in applying, three
times a day, an ointment made by mix
ing together 4 drams of boraclc add,
20 drops of carbolic acid.

CREAM THIEVES ARE FOUND
Minnesota Official Finds That 44
Farmers In Nina Associations Have
Defective Machines.
"Have yon a cream thief on your
farm?" Is a pertinent question at the
head of a circular being sent out by
W. A. McKerrow of the agricultural
extension division of the University
of Minnesota.
In answer to the question, Mr. Mc-
Kerrow says that 44 farmers In 9
cow-testing associations In Minnesota
did have cream thieves, or separators
that Uraste butterfat Out of 170 sep
arators tested It was found that one
In five was stealing from Its owner.
To prove tip on your separator, It Is
suggested that you take a sample of
your skim milk from the spout and
have It tested at your creamery or
at the college of agriculture. There
Is no possible excuse for cream sep

COWS NEED SOME MINERALS
Animals Unable to Utilise Sufficient
Amount From Ordinary Ration to
Support Body.
It has been definitely proved that
cows which produce a heavy flow of
milk are Dot able to utilise sufficient
mineral matter from the ordinary ra
tion to maintain the proper quantity
of minerals in the body; In other
•words, more of these mineral ele
ments are given off than the cow can
obf'n from the ration, and the body
of the cow la robbed of mineral ele
ments to supply the deficiency.
In addition to an ordinary radon,
one ounce of common salt per cow
daily la sufficient to maintain the
proper quantity of sodium and chlo
rine In a cow producing 45 pounds of
milk dally. An ordinary mixed ration
supplies sufficient potassium for every
need of a high-producing cow. The
element calcium or lime appears to be
deficient In all cows except those with
• very R>w milk production.
The deficiency of minerals in the
ration had no apparent effect on the
amount or conpoaltlon of the milk.
This fact proves that the deficiency
to overcome, aa far aa possible, by
mineral elements taken from the body
of the cow. While the nitrogen com
pounds from alfalfa hay were slightly
more digestible than thoae from clover
hay, the nitrogen from clover was
equally aa valuable, because it was
mora completely utilized than the al
falfa nitrogen. The quantities of nh
trogen utilised from clover and alfalfa
ware therefore practically the aaaa.

LARGEST RECORD FOR MILK
Cow High In Flesh at Calving Tim*
Give* Much Richer Milk for Long
Period Than When Thin.
Missouri Investigators have shown
that a cow high In flesh at calving
time gives very much richer milk for
some time than woald be the case
were she thin. This knowledge ia
now made use of by every breeder of
dairy cattle who desires to make the
largest possible record for milk and
butter fat production.
Another interesting discovery is that
when a cow la underfed that tempo
rarily she give* richer milk rather
than thinner as might be expected.

tion with making testa of cows and a
failure to understand this effect has
resulted in wrong conclusions from
many experiments conducted with
cows In the past
FIRM FOUNDATION FOR DAIRY
No Amount of Feed Will Make Profit

Not Have Milk Tendency.
Build your dairy breed on a firm
foundation. No amount of feed will
make a profitable cow out of one that
doea not inherit a strong tendency to
give milk. One must, therefore, use
care In ■electing the foundation stock
for the herd. The bull ahould be pure
bred with a line of ancestors which

Fine Type of Purebred.
he will be a good animal, his pedigree
should be Investigated. Many small
dairymen buy aged balls so they can
Judge the production of his offspring.
If good purebred cows cannot be had,
use the best grade cows obtainable. It
may be said that for production pur
poses, if good purebred bulla are used
on good cows, the fourth generation
will be equal to purebreda u far u
production Is concerned.
CLEAN COW STABLES NEEDED
Good Milk, Free From Offensive
Odors, Cannot Be Secured Under
Unsanitary Conditions.
The dairyman cannot get good milk,
free tram odors and lit to sell on the
city market, when his stables are kept
in an unsanitary condition. When the
manure la left to pack under the cows'
feet, mold and rot, the odor la ao
strong that It will contaminate the
milk even while It la being drawn
,f rom the cow. - 'Jjj,
