CARE OF CREAM ON FARM
Selected by Jake Pflejison.
After seperation the cream
should be cooled immediately to
a low temperature to drive out
the animal heat and prevent the
growth of undesired bacteria.
fresh cream should never be
added to that of previous separation until it is cooled to the
same temperature, for when
warm cream is mixed with cold
cream the animal odor is regained and becomes more pronounced with age. The cream
can should be covered with a
wet blanket in the summer time
while on the way to the creamery or cream station. As the
moisture evaporates from the
blanket the heat is drawn from
the can and the cream remains
at a low temperature during delivery.
An ideal way of keeping
cream cool on the farm is to
have a small tank placed between the well and the stock
tank into which all the water
must be pumped. Put the cream
in shot gun cans and place them
in this small tank and arrange
to have the tank two or three
inches higher than the cream.
The inlet of fresh water should
be near the bottom of the tank
and the outlet of the warmer
water should be at the opposite
end and near the top.
Most any tank can be used
for this purpose, whether wood,
concrete or galvanized material.
It is always better to have some
sort of a milk house to place
the tank in to protect the cream
and cans and cooling watei
from the sun and hot winds in
summer and the frost and storms
in winter.
Cream should be graded if th<
farmer is to be treated fairh
and the man who delivers a
sweet or slightly sour cream o!
good flavor containing from 3(
to 40 per cent butterfat, should
receive more money per pound
for it than the man delivering a 15 to 20 per cent cream
with an old, stale undesireable
flavor.    (To be continued).

FILL UP THE MILK PAIL
Now that summer i.s well advanced, the cows should be feu
green stuff from the fields so
that they will not dry off and
become strippers, unless they
have been bred to freshen in the
fall- Many cows calved this
spring, and to permit these animals to become strippers means
to lose a real profit.
Hot weather and flies worry
the cows a great deal, but they
do not cut down the milk supply like dry,   scanty   pasture.
To live comfortably and yield
a fair mess of milk, the cow living on pasture must eat about
100 pounds a day. Does the
average person ever stop and
think about the amount of work
which the animal must do to
tind and eat lOOpoundsof grass?
It must be remembered that a
cow's mouth is not a.s wide as a
lawn mower, and that many,
many bites must be taken in one
day to secure enough food, even
when on good pasture. If anyone doubts this analysis of the
problem, let him go out into the
pasture some day and cut 100
pounds of grass with a pair of
shears.
As a matter of fact, the cow,
when she has satisfied her own
hunger, will oftentimes lie down
in the pasture and forget all a-
bout tlie grass which she should
have eaten to make her keeping
profitable. To obtain a profit
the cow must eat much more
feed than is needed for her own
personal needs. She will not
produce liberal quantities of
aiilk unless she is fed liberally.
She will eat a liberal amount of
teed only when she can get it by
expending a minimum amount of
energy.
In a test made by the writer
which lasted three years and
concerned a herd of 60 dairy
COWS, it was conclusively shown
that cows on short pasture, even
though well fed at the barn, became dry sooner than the cows
who ate a similar amount of
teed, but who were not compelled to run about while they
were securing it. Tlie cows
which were feed put the energy
into the milk pail, while the
ithers exercised in running a
bout. The summer silo is the
oest means of bridging over
this dry* spell. If the farmer
with cows does not have a summer silo, however, he should
feed green feed to them. Corn
or peas and oats, make an admirable green feed.— Farm

Of success you'll have 3'our fill.

To back hard luck a bit,

To put you in the winning,
And drive away weak fears,

Indian Killed On Track.
Near Kochelle, 111., an Indian went
to sleep on a railroad track and was
killed by the fast express. He paid
for his carelessness with his life. Often its that way when people neglect
coughs and colds. Don't risk vour life
when prompt use of Dr. King's New

short time, of a terrible cough, that
followed a severe attack of Grip."
