Show DAIRY NOTES. Keep the hand separator in good repair. One thousand pounds of butter from a single cow in a single year Is pretty good. A separator In the dairy business is almost equal to the thrasher in wheat growing. When a man begins to keep records of his herd he is a good long step toward success. Do not leave the cows out In any kind of storm until they are wet or chilled through. The products of the dairy are perhaps per-haps the most useful articles Included In the human diet. To make a success of dairying you can't know too much about your cows. No two cows are alike. Get the best cows; they are none too good. The cleaner the milking and the sooner the milk is strained and cooled the longer it will keep sweet. Separator milk contains less cream than milk skimmed by hand; hence there is less fat In it for the calves Some cows have a natural adaptation adapta-tion to certain feeds, while others again can make use of most any kind of feed. The dairy farmer should make It a point to study the individuality of his dairy cows If he expects to get the most out of them. |
