Secretary Coburn of the Kansas state
board of agriculture reports that the
average yearly product of the Kansas
dairy cow is $!).05. They have been
mostly bred for beef or are the “ dual
purpose” cows which Professor Shaw
so much admires and what we should
call “ scrubs” of no particular breed,
giving a calf every year, a little milk
and some cow beef when killed. Sev
er;;! creameries reported that the av
erage amount paid patrons for the
milk in the your was about $20 per
cow. At the Agricultural college they
had an average receipt of $37.75 per
cow for butler fat at creamery prices.
These were scrub cows. One scrub
Cow which they bought for $30 return
ed $00.88 for butter fat in 1808, which
was $40.37 above the cost of her food.
They were well fed and well cared for,
of course. Ono^rouble with scrub cows
Is that they usually get the scrubbiest
kind of food and care, which makes
a mighty poor combination.

Concerning the use of farm separa
tors in connection with creameries
Dairy Commissioner McConnell of
Minnesota says:
“ The invuKloi. o f our state by the
hand separator jls a problem that we
must wrestle wfth. The advantages of
the hand separator are many, yet we
seriously doubt, when all things are
considered, whether they are going to
drive away all the ills that the flesh is
heir to. We must concede that the
product of a creamery that depends
upon hand separators is not as good;
consequently it brings a less price in
the market. This works an injustice
to the dairyman who hauls his milk
regularly to the creamery. This, how
ever, can be reduced to a minimum by
delivering the cream as often ms the
milk is required to be delivered. We
can see no reason why cream should
not be taken to the creamery as often
and in us good comljtion as milk.”
The point that Mr. McConnell makes
relative to the delivery of the cream
to the creamery every day is u very
important one, says Hoard’s Dairy
man.
Farmers who buy farm sep
arators will make no profit In the
transaction if they hold their cream so
long that Its flavor is injured and a
loss endues in the price of the butter.
A little girl from town was staying
with some country cousins who live
on a farm. On the night of her arrival
she found to her mortification that she
was ignorant of all sorts of tilings con
nected with farm life which to her
country cousins were matters of every
day experience. She fancied they seem
ed amused at her ignorance. At break
fast the following morning she saw on
the table a dish of honey and regarded
this as an opportunity of retrieving her
humiliating experiences of the night
before and of showing her country
cousins that she knew something of
country life after all. So. looking at
the dish of honey, she said carelessly,
“ Ah, I see you keep a bee.”
