Sammls of the dairy department ,ef the Wisconsin College of Agricul ture. Here are his ten commandments for cheese makers, dairy farmers, and tia cow testers: methods pf farm cleanli- fuess and factory milk Inspection In- iiure success. 2. Milk cans, palls, strainers, and j 'milking machines should be cleaned and scalded thoroughly every time used. Neglect causes sure trouble. or S. Old, battered, rusty utensils cannot be property cleaned, and should be repaired If possible, or replaced with new. 4. Never carry a milk can Into the barn. In the morning, place the cans on the wagon, outside the barn, with the strainer on top, ready to start for the factory as soon as the milk Is drawn and strained. 5. Night milk must be cooled quickly on the farm. Put the milk can Into the cold water tank, so that each pall f milk will begin to cool as soon as it is strained . Into the , can, ., Stir the milk In the can frequently. Pump fresh, cold water into the tank, before leaving for the night. Cool the milk to the temperature of cold well water In one hour. C. Feed silage and dusty seeds after milking. Change a cow's feed gradually. 7. Keep cows, barn, yard, utensils, and the milker's hands clean. 8. Use horse sense about clean milk, even If you drive no horse. 9. The cheese makers at the factories can Inspect every can of milk dally with the modern Incubator and methylene blue test, and show by the results the sanitary condition and cleanliness of every patron's milk. See that your factory has this test in dally use. 10. Cow testing association members are leaders. Their influence and the tester's should start the "cleaner milk" campaign In every, community. 1. Modern open-seame- Wheat Given Important Place as Poultry Feed United State Department (Prprd by the of Agriculture.) With the price of wheat In several states lower than, or about equal to, tbe price of corn, poultry specialists In the United States Department of Agriculture point out the desirability of giving wheat an important place In poultry, rations. The Influence of war-tim- e conservation of wheat la still evident, according to specialists of the department, bnt there are no longer any economic reasons for conserving wheat or using It solely as a human food. On the other hand, It Is so plentiful and cheap In many localities that It is a more economical live stock and poultry feed than corn. Com and wheat are tbe two best grains for poultry and are about equal In value for this purpose, although wheat can be fed alone better than corn, which Is Inclined to be fattening. Best results are obtained when wheat and corn are combined about equally g In rations. Following Is a good scratch mixture: 1 pound cracked corn,. 1 pound wheat, 4 pound oats. While wheat Is an excellent feed for dairy cows and meat animals, 1t needs to be ground for best results with such stock, whereas poultry relish It and utilize it as whole grain. The department points out also that wheat at 89 cents per bushel, which was the approximate current price recently In seven Middle Western states, Is $29.06 per ton. which la a lower price than prevails for various other feeds having no freater nutritive value. The department's recommendations for putting wheat back on a prewar basis as a stock feed are reinforced by action already taken by some association of farmers. A Michigan farmers recently published a list of feeds for which wheat could be more economically substituted. This association contends that the locftl wheat market was below the cost of production and that local wheat would bring more when fed to live stock than when sold on the open market. egg-layin- Working Safeguards to Wheat for Chickens Is Keep Out Tuberculosis Recommended to Farmers How to select cows or a bull with a minimum of risk In obtaining animals Infected with tuberculosis Is one of the most Important questions the beginning dairyman and many small dairies have to answer. There Is no Infallible rule, but there are three that are good working safeguards practical. They are: 1. So far as possible buy only from herds that are accredited by the United States Department of Agriculture as being free from tuberculosis, and buy only from persons with a reputation for square dealing. 2. Insist on rattle being bought subject to retest' for tuberculosis 60 days after they are delivered to you. 8. Keep all recently purchased animals separate from your herd until you have a favorable report on the retest. It Is Most Important to Grade Milk Itself Wlille the practice of scoring barns and the conditions under which milk is produced, has brought about remarkable Improvement In tbe milk offered for consumption. It Is more Important to grade the milk Itself according to reports made at tbe general experiment station. In the control of milk emphasis should be placed on the quality of the milk Itself as shown by the bacterial count, flavor, butterfat content and dirt. Exercising control over the quality of the milk automatically controls the conditions under which It Is produced. Much evidence Is available to show that contamina-- . tlon of milk from the barn and cow la relatively unimportant as compared with the possibilities of the large numbers of bacteria getting into the milk from utensils. Comparison of Roughages for Production of Milk If you are In doubt about comparative value of different kinds of dairy roughage, write to the Iowa State college at Ames and get the bulletin, "A Comparison of Roughages for Milk Production." Such facta as these are told: "If the value of drj matter In silage Is worth 66 ; cents per 100 pounds, that In corn fodder Is worth 82H cents for feeding to producing cows. With alfalfa hay worth $13 a ton, timothy hay Is worth In comparison only 88 cents per ton for producing cows. The use of corn fodder Instead of silage reduces milk production 6 per cent and fat production S per cent" Prevent Entrance" of Dirt The best system Is to prevent, so far as possible, the entrance of dirt Into milk. This can be done best by laving clean cows .In cleun stables, milked with clean hands. Into clean, small-topalls. p Milk Essential for Calf. It la very necessary for a young calf to geMU mother's milk for the first two or three day. This milk possesses properties which stimulate the calf's stomach and starts hlin off on his life's Journey. , Wheat fed to chickens Is worth considerably more than wheat sold at the present market price, say poultrymen at the Ohio State university, who have modified their rations to allow for this fact. They are substituting whole wheat for corn In the scratch feed, and Intend to continue thla substitution as long as the bushel price of wheat stays below the bushel price of corn. But the largest saving, they say, comes from grinding wheat, and substituting whole wheat In the dry mash for the bran and middlings usually fed. The old formula for the standard Ohio dry mash was equal parts of bran, middlings, cornmeal, ground oats, and meat scrap or tankage. The new formula, now being fed at the college poultry plant, and recommended to nil farmers with 95 per cent wheat on their hands, is: 2 parts ground whole wheat, an1 1 part each of cornmeal, ground oats and meat scrap or tankage. The whole wheat. It Is said. Increases the feeding value of the mash. Each hundredweight of wheat so fed saves buying that much bran and middlings. With middlings at $40 a ton, wheat has a substitution value of around $1.20 a bushel when thus fed. flock The farmer with a good-sizecould more than pay foa a feed grinder by the saving made under this plan, the college people believe. d Damp Quarters Cause of Roup and Other Diseases Damp, dark quarters often are one of the main causes of lack of thrift, disease and loss among fowls on the average farm. Filth and dampness cause 90 per cent of the colds, roup and most of the other diseases that ravage the farm flock. Coldness Is not nearly so destructive aa dampness, for dampness seems to work through the feathers of the fowls and produces a creepy, chilly sensation that Is not at all pleasant Fowls can stand plenty of fresh air and ventilation so long as It Is a dry cold. To prevent the conditions outlined above. If yon have an earth floor In the henhouse, fill In the entire floor at least six Inches above the level of the ground on the outside of house. If there are any cracks In the walls or roof through which the wind and rain can blow, close them op at. once. The saddest part of all the destruction caused by drafts and dampnens la that auch conditions cm almost be easily remedied. Plan to Prevent Moist Mash From Packing Hard moist mash from packing Into an Irdlgestlble mass in the crop of the hen la by add-fushort cut atfalfa or clover hay to the mixture. This sort of food may compose as much as 20 to 25 per cent of the mash by bulk In most cases. The most essential thing In this case Is that tbe hay fee leafy and cut In qulta short- - lengths. Before mixing the mash, first soak the bay lr a backet of water for several hours. An excellent way to prevent .corn-fe- Modern aestlcated that elr prenUers' Accounting Records and" Business System Needed iociar- The need for simple yet complete .Inland nTunTwbTT spert until- - BurbuA?' d, counting records by live stock shipping associations Is emphasized in a new bulletin published by the United States Department of Agriculture entitled "Accounting Records and Business Methods for Live Stock Shipping Associations." The bulletin recommends use of a system outlined that Is based on the methods used by shipping as- sociatlons In various parts of the coun- try and which experience has demon- strated as sound and practical, and capable of being adapted to a wide range of conditions and methods of operation. The system Is specifically designed to meet the needs of associations that make the shipping of live stock tUelr main or only business, Including associations which in addition to shipping live stock occasionally buy feed and other farm supplies unloaded directly from cars and paid for on delivery. The method can also be adapted for use by farmers' elevators or produce and supply associations which have a warehouse and carry a stock of sup- piles and which also ship live stock, It is pointed out The rapid growth in live stock ship- ping associations during the last five years has developed many problems that have resulted In wide differences in cost of shipping as between the most efficient and the least efficient associations, the bulletin says. Adoption of the accounting system proposed Is designed to solve these problems. Copies of Department BuVetln No. 1150 may be obtained free upon request to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, as long as the supply lasts. The bulletin was prepared In collaboration with the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, and Is also published as "Accounting Records for Live Stock Shipping Associations," by Frank Iowa Agriculture Experiment Station Bulletin No. 209. can eW; little Teal ' I Most of the mortgage, given by people who wonder2? are going nine. to do to kill Zk tin Thoughtless people leave children cttw would never set tkT where their otherwise on fire. t Statistics iK " for 1910 and B2fc an Increase of ber of mules, types. a million bi exclusive utw of Those who condemn the Bonw dency In women's styles do w ! j ."...WwJWanufactiiw cream.
