(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Hermiston Warehouse A good example of what cow-testing associations are doing to help dairy men cull unprofitable milk producers is shown In the experience of an Iowa dairyman who reports that through the cow-testing association he learned that one cow was paying him $2.40 for each dollar’s worth of feed, while another returned only 58 cents. This dairyman lost no time in selling the poor cow and five others which showed by test that they were not paying for the feed they consumed.

M c N aught Co J.L. VAUGHAN Multiplication of Bacteria Causes Rapid Deterioration—Value for Food Lessened. Auto Repairing and Auto Accessories BATHS IN CONNECTION (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Extensive experiments conducted at the government farm, Beltsville, Md., show that milk drawn into a sterile pail from dirty cows contained an average of 32,677 bacteria per cubic centimeter, while milk drawn from clean cows whose udders and teats were washed immediately previous to milking had a content of only 4,947 germs per cubic centimeter. These tests were made Immediately after milking. Naturally on standing the milk with the greatest number of bac teria would deteriorate most rapidly, due to the multiplication of the germs. Accordingly its value as a human food product would be greatly reduced, while its introduction on the city mar ket would be carefully scrutinized, and In some cases punished by the health authorities. Pride should cause every dairyman to maintain his cows in an attractive, cleanly and sanitary condition every day in the year. In a way the appear ance of the cow is an accurate meas ure of the owner. In the same degree that neglected fences, overrun fence rows, tumbledown buildings and un housed machinery typify the shiftless, ne’er-do-well farmer, dairy cows which are dirty indicate the milk farmer who does n't safeguard consumers against contaminated milk.
