Milk containing objectionable flavors
probably causes as serious losses to
the American dairy industry as the !
production of milk that sours, accord
ing to C. J. Babcock, of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Dairymen, he says, are giving consid
erable attention to keeping their prod
ucts sweet, but are not paying as
much attention to the flavor and odor.
Yet a pleasing flavor will have a tend
ency to extend their market through
increased consumption.
Work Very Quickly.
Two weed,s—garlic, or wild onion,
and bitterweod—are of considerable
economic importance in affecting milk
flavor in many dairy regions. Garlic,
or wild onion, has almost instantane
ous effect. Experiments carried on by
the bureau of dairy industry show
that garlic flavor can be detected in
milk drawn from a cow one minute
after she has consumed one-half pound
of garlic tops, and in milk drawn two
minutes after she has inhaled garlic
odor for ten minutes. It is necessary
to remove cows from gaVlic-infested
pastures from four to seven hours be
fore milking to prevent the garlic fla
vor in the milk. Bitterweed, found
particularly in the South, makes the
milk bitter, and, unlike most feeds, the
effect of eating bitterweed does not
pass away between milkings.
“The only method of preventing bit
ter milk in sections where this weed
is“abundant,” says Mr. Babcock, “is to
keep cows off infested pasture until
the weeds can be exterminated.” ,
Best Way to Control.
“The best way to control off flavors
in milk is to prevent them,” says Mr.
Babcock. “In the production of palat
able milk preventive measures are al
ways best. Therefore dairymen should
(1) feed milk-tainting feeds Just after
milking, (2) keep cows and barns
clean, (3) properly ventilate cow sta
bles, and (4) aerate milk in order to
decrease the intensity of feed and
barn taints. Finally, prompt cooling
and storing of milk at a low tem- j
perature will retard the development '
of flavors and odors from biological |
action.” |

A SIX IN THE PRICE RANGE OF THE FOUR
More High-Grade
Alfalfa Wanted
Desirable Type of Legume
Forage Is Always in De
mand by Dairymen.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Hig^-grade alfalfa hay could be
profitably produced and marketed in
much greater quantities than at pres
ent. aiccording to the United States
Department of Agriculture. Dealers
in all big alfalfa-hay-distributing mar
kets annually receive th»>usands «>f or
ders from dairymen for high-grade al
falfa hay which they cannot fill be
cause an insufllcient quantity of such
hay is produced. Many dairymen who
do not now utilize much alfalfa hay
would become buyers if supplies of
high-grade hay were available at all
times, says the department.
Study Market Demands.
Farmers who grow alfalfa for a
cash crop are urged to study market
demands and then make their produc
tion and loading practices conform to
the market requirements. Methods of
producing, baling, and loading high-
grade alfalfa hay for market are dis
cussed in Farmers’ Bulletin 15.S9-F,
entitled “High-Grade Alfalfa Hay.’*'
just Issued by the department.
Among the causes for low-grade al
falfa listed and discussed in the bul
letin are thin stands containing weeds
and grasses, foreign material such as
decayed rakings from previous cut
tings, weather damage, over-ripeness
at time of cutting, overdrying, baling
and stacking undercured hay, baling
during weather conditions which cause
loss of leaves and causes stemmy-ap-
pearing bales.
Characteristics of high-grade alfalfa
hay, on the other hand, are purity,
a- high percentage of leaves, clinging
foliage, green color, and pliable stems.
Leafy alfalfa hay having one or more
of these desirable characters is the
type of legume forage that is always
in demand with the dairy-cattle feed
ers because of its well-recognized ef
fect on milk flow.
The foundation of the business of
producing alfalfa hay for market Is
a good, pure, stand. Seed of varieties
known to have local adaptation, free
from foul weeds, and sown in suffi
cient quantity to produce a thick
stand is of greatest importance.
Classifying Alfalfa.
In the official United States hay
standards, alfalfa hay is classified ac
cording to its purity. The class named
“Alfalfa” cannot contain over 5 per
cent of grasses nor over 10 per cent
of othe*- legumes. If the grass con
tent Is over 5 per cent but not over
20 per cent the clnss is designated as
“Alfalfa Light Grass Mixed.” The
grading factors in the United States
standards are Ie«finess, color, and
foreign material, anyone of whicS may |
lower the grade of a lot of hay.
The most important item of all in
loading is to load cars- with hay of
uniform class and grade. Uniform
loads unvariably sell for better prices
than nonuniform loads, and sometimes
the difference in price Is substantial.
Nonuniform loads often sell on the
basis of tha lowest grade found in the
car lot.

Poisoned Bait Controls
Cutworm Appearing Early
Poisoned bait has been used with
success in the control of cutworms on
corn land. The formula for the poi
son mash is as follows: Wheat bran,
50 pounds; paris green or crude ar
senic, two pounds; black-strap mo
lasses, two quarts; water, one gallon,
or more as needed. The mash should
be mixed thoroughly together in a
dry state and then the molasses
should be added and stirred in. This
poison mash should be broadcast over
the field, taking care to sprinkle it
sparingly around the hills. The poi
son for the cutworms should be put
out as soon as the corn begins to ap
pear above the ground so that the
worms may be killed as quickly as
possible.

On farms where alfalfa and grain
crops are grown, It is seldom that suf
ficient manure is produced to meet the
demands of both. When the amount of
manure Is limited, it Is usually more
profitable to use It on the grain crops
and to apply superphosphate to the
alfalfa.
