IMPROVEMENT MADE IN MILK MACHINES The present day mtitctng machine* are such an improvement over the oid time machine* that they may now be considered beyond the experiment*] state. When a ret pnt on the market, they natnraiiy had a number of seri ous imperfections. These have been almost entirety overcome by the in venttve ingenuity of man, so that to day it may safety be said that the most modem of them are a success. The two chief stumbling blocks were keeping the machine clean and avoid ing injury to the odder of the cow. It Is true that in the hands of a care less operator they are stilt subject to criticism along these lines, but it is the fault of the operator, and not Of the machine. It will no doubt always require more intelligence and Judg ment to operate them than is gen army atapiayed oy a targe percentage of onr handmiikera. It wouid be ditHcuit to foreteit what the fntnre haa tn at&re for the dairy man with the miiking machine to do hia mtiking. Wevertheleaa, the moat diiHcutt probtem, that of hired hetp, ahoaid be at ieaat partiatiy aoived. If there ia any one drawback to datry farming, it ia thia one of keeping com patent and reiiabie heip. AH other irksome farm operationa aeem to hare been beneHted by mechanicai inven tion, but mtiking, the moat deapieed of them aii. aeema either to have been negiected, or to have been the more dtfHcnit to aoive. Men hate the mo notony and regn'artty <tf band miik ing. Perhapa mechanical miiking ahonid prove more popular, aa the amount of time and phyaicai exertion ia greatly decreaaed Already a great many have been inataiied in aome of onr beat dairiea. and their auceeaa there ia being watched^ with much in tareat by farmer dairymen.—H. B. Dvorachek, Coiorado Agrienitnrai Coi iege. Little Extra Grain Wil! Give Increased Returns A iittie thought to the feeding of faii-freshened cows wiii he weii re paid in increased returns. Too many cows freshen in poor condition and cannot be expected to yieid a good return. To begin with, a dry period Of ieast six weeks is essentia) to en abie the cow to huiid a reserve. How the cow is fed doring this intervai wiii iargeiy determine iter production after she freshens. A iittie extra grain at this time means dividends iater. Fresh ening in goot) desh the cow starts her iactatton at a big advantage. Production tan be heid up with economy by supplementing pasture with ground hartey. equai parts ground oats and corn chop. This grain shoutd he fed at the rate of one to five pounds of rniik as iong as the pasture is good. Don't expect the rniik Mow to increase materiaiiy, hut it wiii hoid up over a much ionget period of time when prices are good, and therefore more than Ra^ for the grgin. consumed, Keep Out Bacteria The udder and teats become con taminated when cows tie down. The movements of the udder during the tniiking process cause the particies of dirt to become loosened and fat) into the mitk. By keeping the udder and Hanks weii brushed, hutch of the tooac hair and dirt are removed in one triat the average number of bacteria in miik before tits udder and Hank were wiped with a damp cioth. was 7.068 bacteria per cubic centimeter. After being wiped the number was reduced to 710 or xr-dsertme due to wiping of 6.34i! Plenty of Water Needed for Higher Production An Iowa dairyman whose cows have been making one of the beat milk and butterfat records )n the state at tributes no smalt share of hts success to the use of Individual drinking cups In his barn The drinking cups were Installed about a year ago and the dairyman says he noticed from the first the good effect the handy drink Ing system had on the milk yield He uses one cup for two cows, hav Ing It attached to the feeding rack just between each two stanchions. A large tank la up against the celling In one end of the barn. This Is (Hied from the well by an electrically op^ crated pump. The water Hows on a plate In the cup. a valve opens. When the pressure la released, the valve doses and water stops Rowing. The cows very quickly learn to use them, the dairyman says. Since the cups let the cows water themselves, they are a great labor saving device. But that Is not all. "H you want to get high production from cows," the dairyman says, "you must see that they get plenty of water. With the drinking cups right at their heads all the time they are In the bam, cows drink much more than they would If they were regularly wa tered, or had to go to a tank to drink. You would be surprised to see how often they take a sip at the drinking cup. Taking just a little sip that way every now and then, they drink mnch more In the course of a day then they would otherwise. Another thing, with the tank up near the cell Ing, tbp warmest part of the barn, the water stays at a comfortable tempera tare In the winter, which Is another Inducement for the cows to drink more. CARRY BUTTERMILK IN SEPARATE CAN "Soar, moidy, and off-Havor cream cam often be traced to the practice of carrying bnttermiih in cream cane from the creamery to the home," aays Haroid Macy of the division of dairy husbandry, University of Minnesota. Cream cane, he believes, shoaid be need oniy for the transportation of cream. Mr. Macy says: "With the facilities avaiiabie at the average creamery, it in a dMBcnit task at best tan ciean and sterilise the cream cans property. The process is much more diiHcuit where the bntter miik is transported in the cans. "It is eiceedingiy hard to keep the battermiih tank in snch condition that the product does not sour or decom poae, part! cut ariy in the dash of the summer season. Such buttermiik has a high bacteria! and moidy content of many undeairabie types which con tamtnate tne cream so Maty tnst one cannot expect to get a good product from the patron who fatta to waah or steriiise his cans after they are emptied. "On many farms the cream can never receive the attention which it deserves. Many times the buttermiik is simpiy poured into the barret in the bog pen and the can rinsed out in coid water in this condition the can remains untti it is stuck under the separator spout. This sort of thing goes on from day to day. so that one marveis that much of the cream is as good as it is. "The best way to soive the butter mtik prohtem is to contract with the in dividuat for the whoie batch This takes it off the operator's hands and makes cream grading much easier. The powdering of the sweet cream butter mi)k is aiso another outiet and often very profitable if the farmers insist upon having their buttermiiit. it is weit for the operator to inHuenee his board to require the use of other cans for the purpose. "Kitminate this practice of piacing bnttermiik in cream cans and creamery operators wti! he one more iong atep nearer the standard which they wish to reach—ai) Qrst-ciaas cream." _ Improvement of Flavor and Quality of Butter M. Mortenson of the few a expert meat H tat ton made a comparison "of the effect of the paAteurization tem perature ant! acidity of s/mr cream on the Havor and keeping quaiity of but ter made front treatrt; aatnptea of cream were pasteurised at 145 degreed Fahrenheit for 80 minutes and at 170 degrees and 180 degrees for 80 min utes. The butter was acored on ar rtvat at the market and after from 2 to 0 months' storage at 0 degree. The reautta of 17 erunpartsons !ndt cated that a pasteurization tempera ittre of 170 degrees produced a aiight ty aupertor product to that resuiting when the cream was pasteurized at i4N degrees; but butter pasteurized at the higher temperature did not ap pear to keep ns. wet) over a nine months' storage ported. Pasteurtxn tion at 180 degrees did not give quite a< satisfactory reautta aa at 170 de green in nine experiments. The neutraiizMtton of aonr cream was aiso found to improve the quaiity and reduce the amount of deterioration occurring in the butter. Calves Fed for Spring Market Most Profitable There is teas risk and greater protit ta feeding caivcs for the tate spring or eariy summer market than in feed ing any other ciasa of iive stock, ac cording to Dr. C. IV. McUampbei! of the Kansas State Agricutturai cottage. "In feeding calves for the market,* Doctor McCampbcti points out. It t' important to ntmetuber that a caif ahouid be prime to set) at a profit. Mo other ciasa of eattie ia discriminated against a*' severeiy as the hsif-fsd caif. "A heavy feed of gralh is necessary to put the caif in condition to seii at advantage We iind that it requires approximately 180 days as s minimum feeding period and about 40 hushets of com to put the caif in best market condition." Grinding Hay for Dairy Cowa Is Not Profitable Experiments conducted by the dairy husbandry section of the Iowa expert ment station indicate that it doesn't pay to grind aifaifa hay when it is to be fed to dairy cows. At ieast it wasn't profitabie in theae preitminary tests Eight cows were used in the experiment. The use of ground aifaifa did not increase the yieid of either miik or butterfat in these tests and. in addi tion. there was a greater amount of ground hay refused by the cows than of the unground hay. It cost $3.69 per ton to grind the aifaifa and there seems iittie itkeii hood that this figure could he reduced on the average farm, those in charge of the test say. The grinding cost, they state, represents from 20 to 25 per cent of the market vatue of the hay on the farm in the average year. Cieaniiuess is essential for the best resuita. for the cows when in the ham wit) not thrive in Bithy quarters. ess Among New Year restitutions don't omit the one about indlvidnai cow records. A. D.

THE LONG DROUGHT IN CASWELL BROKEN LAST MONDAY Farmers Immediately Began to Put Out Tobacco Plants - .T!te1rwg-;dry"Sp^!t'Sf broken last Monday afternoon, gracious rains fed in all parts of Laswell county. There was more rain in some parts than in others. But so lar as has been teamed there was some rain ait over the county. There is no definite way of estimating the vatue of even the sptat! showers that fed Monday to the farmers of this county Had the drought continued another week much of the tobacco tand would perhaps have been ptanted in something etse, and the men who had put the fertilizer in the ground depending on the rain, would have lost thousands RHd thousands of dollars. It can truly be said that many anxious hearts have been relieved b/the rainfall of Monday. It is perhaps not much to say that a number of our people had ventured their little all on the crop of this year. And if this year's crop had failed them they would no doubt have been forced to give uo farming ! Hut a kind and gracious Provi dence has seen the urgent need oi these hard pressed men and has heard their prayers, and has not withheld the rain. In the houses of worship al! over CasweH coun ty next Sunday there will no doubt be gathered hosts of de vout men and women who wi!i render unfeigned thanksgiving to Him who sends His rain upon the just and the unjust. The anxious fears of the peopte witt give ptace to joyful peans of praise and gratitude, and it is safe to say that our peopte witt join with the Psalmist in saying. "Btcss the Lord, O my sou!, and forget not att His benefits."
