Dirt-carrying bacteria once in the tnllk has done Its harm, and no num ber of strainers of any kind yet In vented can take out the pernicious germs. The best strainer for the average dairyman is a metal vessel, as shown in the cut, with a wire screen of 100 wires to the inch. ' A Wire screen on a strainer should be replaced as soon as It becomes broken or rusted. The only satisfactory way to clean the screen of a strainer is with a small, stiff brush. The best kind of a strainer is one with the screen on the sides, rather than on the bottom, for then there is no tin due pressure, which sometimes forces small particles of dirt through the screen. The screener cannot be count ed upon to make up for previous care lessness in milking. Scientists say that a poor strainer may even In crease the bacterial content of milk. In using cheesecloth' or thick linen for straining milk it should not only be boiled after use, but should then be wrapped in a paper and baked in the oven for thirty minutes and then kept wrapped up until time to use again. Farm and Home. Track Patch and Orchard. When one of our Western farmers goes down East he is Impressed with the fact that the truck patch, the orchard, the poultry yard and the dairy are relatively of vastly greater Importance than in '' country where broad fields of grain, alfalfa, spuds and sugar beets are in fashion and big bunches of beef cattle enliven the landscape. The great cities, some of them containing more people than the entire State of Colorado, must be fed from the farms. The products of the West are mainly such as may be readily transported over long dis tances. But milk, vegetables and small fruits are better, as well as cheaper, if produced near the place of consumption ,and this line of agricul ture has from the exigency of things become the industry of Eastern farm ers. Field and Farm. Acidity and Batter Flavor. It has been a generally accepted theory among teachers of and writers on dairy subjects that the production of good butter necessitates the devel opment of a certain amout of acid in the cream, for two reasons, to develop a desirable flavor and to improve the keeping quality. Recent Investiga tions by the United States Department at Agriculture indicate, however, that butter made from Pasteurized sweet cream has better keeping qualities and remains free from objectionable flav ors for a longer time than butter made from sour cream. If these facts ire established it might seem that In the years to come only sweet cream would be bought for butter making. Starting- Indians as Farmers. The Cheyenne River Agency will be busy for some time to come, as the distribution of live stock to Indians has commenced. To each head of a family is to be given twenty-three head of 2-year-old heifers, or in case he so desires a team of mares, a wag on and harness, agricultural imple ments, five cows and $50 In cash, says the Pierre correspondent of the St Paul Dispatch. This distribution means that to any of the Indians who desire will be giv en a start of about $1,000 in value either toward starting a herd of cat tle or beginning farming operations without any expense. The Country School. The farmers In every school district are responsible for the school they prodnce, says Hoard's Dairyman. If they wanted better school houses th-" could easily make them. If they wan. ed better teachers they could pro cure them by paying what they are worth. If they wanted the school to help make intelligent boys and girls who would understand the chemical terms that are used is farm litera ture, they could secure that also. If the country school is a bad failure, If it falls to make Intelligent men of their boys, the farmers are alone to blame for it Rape as Stock Feed. For generations English farmers have made extensive use of dwarf Es sex rape as a stock food. This plant may be described as a rnta-baga ran to head. The seed is sown like ruta baga turnips and cultivated, without thinning. Commercial EaYaT Farm. ' The production of market eggs is probably the safest branch of the poul try business, and the amount of capi tal Invested need not be very large. In the New England States, New York and New Jersey there are many com mercial egg farms, keeping from BOO to several thousand hens. The farm ers, too, in this section of the country keep large flocks for eggs for the East ern markets, and all seem to be do ing well and making money. What we need In the South is more egg farms. Lands are cheap, material for housing and labor cheap, and, again, it is not necessary in the South to build such expensive houses. We have every advantage in the Southland for producing eggs at a less cost than our Northern brothers, and with quick and satisfactory railroad facilities to the Eastern markets the South should be come the greatest poultry producing section of the entire country. Other branches of the poultry indus try may pay better than egg farming, but none are attended with so little worry and risk and are so certain of steady returns and a fair remunera tion for the time and money expended, Early Plowing- Always Best. Last summer we got a field of wheat stubble about half plowed when other work called us away. The remaining stubble was turned under early this spring, and the whole field planted to corn. The corn on last summer's plow ing Is now several Inches taller than that on the land plowed this spring, and is ranker and better in every other way. There is a difference between sum mer and fall plowing, the difference be ing in favor of the summer plowing. Turning a green growth into the soil seems to be very much better than turning an equal growth under, but waiting until it has matured and dried before doing it. Here on this farm we aim to do all the plowing possible this summer. It may be hot work but the days are long and one does not need to hurry the teams. Not only is it better to get the work done as soon as possible for any crop to be sown this fall, but our experience proves to us that the earlier the better if corn is to be the next crop. Farmer's Mai and Breeze. A Hoc Shelter. . The form of individual hoghouse shown in the illustration is 6 feet square on the ground and both doors are hinged so they will open and close readily; 12 foot boards make the side and roof. Use good soft pine floor ing, as it is lighter and much easier to move when necessary than heavier lumber; four pieces 2x4 inch and 6 feet long are for sills; two pieces 2x4 inch and 6 feet long are for ridge and plate. The door in the roof can be opened when the sun shines. Sun shine is the best tonic known for lit tle pigs in early spring, and,. the door INDIVIDUAL HOGHOUSE. is essential when the sow needs at tention at pigging time as a means of entrance and, as is sometimes the case, a very hasty exit. Breeders' Ga zette. Feeding Manure to Plants. Our people are perfectly satisfied that they can put character into milk and cream and butter by feeding the dairy cow a properly balanced ration and all that she. will properly stand. The cow is simpiy a machine, the soil Is simply a machine, end the cabbage head is a machine into which we can put a certain amout of material and turn out from it so many dollars. If you feed this vegetable matter, with high-grade nitrogenous manure you can make It pay. Dairy Notes. . ' ' Butter methods are gradually gain ing favor. - Working to the best advantage means using brains. Cold and overfeeding will kill the young calf more quickly than any thing else. Don't try to keep a cow for milk and beef. She will disappoint you ev ery time. The. man with a "dual purpose" dream usually wakes up to find that he is in the beef business. It's Just about as hard to get a good heifer out of a scrub as it is to make water run up hill The creamery patron has his month ly cream checks while the other fel low has the store bill. The ordinary , man may be Judged by the company he keeps, but the dairy farmer is Judged by the cows he keeps. The best way to insure high prices for dairy products is to make them so good that the people cant help eating them. ., .
