The cream which accumulates Is often kept with out suitnble nttempts being made to cnol it. and it becomes more or less sour. Cream which sours on the hands of the producer is less apt to mnke a good quality of butter than that '.vhich is delivered at the factory in Fweet condition. This la largely owing to the uneven sourness or acidity of dif ferent lots of cream and to the manner in which they were ripened or toured. The producer, however, frequently argues that it makes no particular dif ference to his pocketbook whether the cream sours or not. According to the Vermont experiment station, there is n chance that not only may the sour cream injure the entire lot of butter, but there is almost certain to lie a di rect financial loss to the dairyman in nnother way. It is dlflicult and almost impossible to obtain an accurate sam ple of sour cream, nnd the creamery which receives it has great difficulty in innkiug a proper test Gas bubbles nud increasing viscosity or gummiuess nre at the bottom of the trouble. I In nine cases out of ten the error j in sampling will be in the direction of ( giving a lower result. In other words, : j a creamery patron who sells his cream , 1 in a sweet condition will get a larger 1 check than the one who sells sour ' ! cream, even though the quantities of i each are the same and the two creams ; were of the same quality or contained ' ; the same amount of butter fat In the i beginning. The chances are always ! in favor of an inaccurate test. Rather ! than urge creameries to make any spe- 1 clal efforts to test sour cream properly Is also well known to be entirely roll j the energy in this direction should bo able by the editors of this paper. It is , expended In securing the cream in a ! not so stated in the report, but we be i sweet condition. No creamery ought I lleve the fact to be that Mr. McKlnstry j to receive sour cream.

To mnke assurance ! their interests ns well as to the Inter- doubly sure and forestall every doubt ests of the crenmery to keep the cream ; j sweet, an indirect fine may be laid j ! upon them in this wny by giving them the low test which sour cream is like ly to receive.

In making these tests it may soon be discovered thnt some of the herd are kept at an actual loss, while others are yielding a good profit The manipulation of the test Is so simple that with n little study every farmer can use it for his purpose with sufficient uccuracy.

Milking is an operation which re quires skill, ns it has un Important ef fect on the amount nud quality of milk given. Dairymen know thnt. there are as great differences between milkers as between cows and that cows w'iii do much better with good milkers than with others. Indeed, good cows nre often almost ruined by poor milkers. The milker should avoid handling the cow more thau is necessary, and he should make It a rule to do his work quickly and thoroughly. He should never go from u sick to a well CC'.V without first cleansing his hands. The habit of wetting his linuds with milk Is filthy lu the extreme nnd should never be practiced. Some people think It necessary, hut this Is a mistake. The hands should -0(, kept dry. if they are not r Jb !mI,08a(me 0 prevcut urops of uillk from constantly fulling from them into the pail.

The ' avocation of meat and milk making floes not ordinarily afford enough profit mti year with another to euahle its ' f0ii0,Vers to recoup the ldss of one scn- ?on with the profits of a previous or subsequent season.

Tlie Poor Cow. Feeding the poor is only collateral to wasting fodder in the field, and as It Is a business axiom that the first loss is always the best it is likely wiser to I lose the fodder directly than lose it J. through an unprofitable animal after i having added the cost of hauling and ! feeding, says W. F. McSparrow in Na- tional Stockman. The cow adds no nianurial value to the fodder. This is the ?ow also for which no man can afford to buy commercial feeds. She is the love's labor lost of the dairy. She is part of the undertow to the fnrin. She is more of n drain on the farm than the evcrinsting manure pile out "under the rain drip." She steals the farmer's la bor and his hope. The much mnllgned uiortgnge is insignificant by her side. She drives tlie boy from the farm and makes the girls shy of farmer boys matrimonially inclined. Verily, she is i fifteen dollar animal using twenty- ! live dollar feed. i Keep ThiiiETH Cleun. You don't know unless you have i tried it how it increases a common j cow's self respect and incidentally her milk yield to have a clean, sweet stn ble to walk Into night and morning, to be turned into a pasture with succulent feed up to her eyes nnd with plenty of pure, cool water to drink, to see the shepherd dog chained up instead of snapping nt her heels and to receive gentle words rather than kicks and have the atmosphere free from cuss words nt milking time. KlndiieitH Thnt PnyH. In order that a cow mny give the greatest quantity of the richest milk It Is necessary that sho should be sub jected to gentle treatment, never be hounded by dogs, never struck with sticks, never even be roughly spoken to, but petted and made much of as far as possible. Sllnec nit a Milk Food. The silo is gaining friends every year, and it will not be many years until ev ery progressive dairymnn will put his corn crop in a silo and thus get the befit pl'Slfle results from It. says Dairy and Creamery. Corn in lli.i iifiMi rum .-.,-.4,. i. f . . vuu uv grmrn in cum country ",ld,1w tbo filluI,e of sllnge is the best ujurj ws. .ur. u. ai. .Mc Pherson, Lancaster, Canada, keeps seventy cows on 125 acres of land, and these cows average 7,000 pounds of milk a yenr, aud this great yield Is made on silnge. Experiments have proved to Mr. McPherson that corn fodder is not ns valuable fi8 corn si lage. Tlie difference in hlsherd amounts to 500 pounds of milk a day. In speak ing of his system of keeping cows Mr McPherson says: "Actual experiment, i.nvfi ; that for every thousand pounds weight i u iiye aiunrni twenty-six pounds of food dally are required In a properly balanced ration. That will give enough as a heat producer nnd flesh former tor either beef or milk. How can that food he supplied at least cost? It Js nulte possible for every farmer to have each cow give 5,000 pounds of milk a season at n cost of only 50 to CO cents per hundred pounds. I have reduced the cost of producing milk to 40 cents per hundred. Farmers nre loBlng dally what. If properly applied, means wealth to them, and increase in wenirn, u properly used. Is Increased happiness, j The balanced ration that Is costing ' you 24 cents n day per cow can be had ; for l cents by studying out the requlro i incuts of your cows nnd by loading ; them both ways. Our railways and steamships are on that principle. I i claim that cows should give 0,000 j pounds of milk per season. I feed meai every uiuiuu oi uie year to my cows because It reduces the cost to keep and Increases production." THE TANK HEATER. ! Warm "Water Vop Cows Is Cheaper j Thnn HIk1 Priced Feed. The recent cold snap hns well dom-l onstrated the value of a tank heater. It would be a tremendous tnsk to cnl culale the amount of suffering and consequent loss to stockman thnt havo I been caused by water tanks being frozen over nnd by stock being obliged to drink ice water after nn exasperated attendant had broken the ice nnd fished out the big pieces. Water is one of t tlie most necessary foods nnd one of i which both man nnd beast take tor 1 little during cold weather. Warming! the water allows the animal to drink all It needs and at a tlmqlt is needed) without being chilled, say? the Kansas!, Farmer. j The temperature of cattle and horses j is about 100 degrees F., and this torn pern t tiro is maintained by the food they eat, and everything should be done In the way of preventing the loss of heat by economically supplying nn addition al source of heat. In 1S0M, when corn wns worth lo cents per bushel, some farmers thought it more economical to burn corn in their stove3 than to sell it nnd buy coal, and they were about right, pro vided a ton of corn on the cob would yield ns much heat as a ton of coal, but with corn up to 70 cents it seems extravagant to warm stock with it when coal is only $3.50 to ?5 n ton. The time required to keep the heater burning is very small indeed, depend ing to some extent on the kind of heat ers. One from which the ashes can be tnken without first letting the fire go out is preferable. The heater needs at tention twice daily and need not take over seven or eight minutes each time. Six of these heaters, representing four different makes, were started at the experiment stntlon Dec. 10. One of tliem has burned constantly evei since. Tlie others hnve had to be re kindled after each cleaning of the ash es. One of the tanks wns of galvanized iron, nnd tills radiated heat so fast that it was frozen over during the coldest weather. The others were of wood and did not freeze. During the warmer weather of the latter part of December the fires were kept burning, nnd we found that they could be regulated so as not to over heat the water and keep the chill off and be ready for sudden changes. Keterroai The extract of poke is the best reme dy for swollen udders. If applied in the early stage of tlie trouble, it pre vents the Influunnntion nnd suppura tion. Give one ounce lu n pint of water three times daily. It is well to. add a half ounce of acetate of potash at each dose. Coirpox. If a cow has sore teats and the sores look like cowpox, wnsh the teats clean with soap nnd warm water after each milking. When dry, apply iodine oint ment of one-eighth strength. Foot Hot. All cases of sore foot nre not due to foot rot, but when the foot begins to decay nnd gives off an offensive odor it is time for prompt action. Apply a warm Huseed poultice twice dully for two or three days. Be sure and wnsh clean with soap nnd wnrm water be fore applying the poultice. After this dress once daily with calomel.

When n calf Is Infested with, tape worm, stop feeding for twelve hours, then give half an ounce of turpentine in n pint of boiled milk, Repeat dose once dnily for three days unless " Feeding should consist entirely of boiled milk and gru els of flour while under treatment.
