8mall Top Pails Greatly Reduce Chan For Contamination. The avoidance of unnecessary milk contamination is getting to be an old subject. I do not propose to repent already threadbare statements. But I .want to call attention to the fact that most of our dairy products, represent ing in value hundreds of millions of dollars, are made on our dairy farms nd are of inferior quality. More than this, most of the inferiority of quality In both farm and factory products is due to milk contamination. The Im portance of cleanliness of cows, sta bles and utensils has been emphasized so often that it ought to be known to every one who has eyes or ears. ; But one of the newer ideas of reduc ing contamination of milk is not gen erally known. It is the use of the ' email top milking pail. Based on sound common sense that prevention Is better than cure, this Is the coming Idea in sanitary milk production. Re- member that half the ordinary dirt ' getting into milk is soluble and that more than half of the teeming millions of bacteria readily pass through strain ers.' - , .I-" ' ' ( ' To Avoid Stable Dirt. dirt particles areconstantly settling Into the pail even though care is taken to clea,n the cow and to avoid dust in the stable air. It is most reasonable to reduce the size of the opening through which the dirt falls into the milk. It should be reduced just as much as tire iuterest and patience of the milker will permit, Chance for contamination is reduced more than ; one-third when the diameter of the opening in the milk pall is changed from twelve to nine Inches, and It Is reduced three-fourths when the open ing is changed from twelve to six Inch es. Erperiecce shows that great im provement can be made without any inconvenience to the milkers. Every iucu vi reuueuuu iiuiihi. We have become so accustomed to ordinary milk for butter and cheese making that we fail to realize what really good milk means for these prod ucts'. Experiments made by Mr. Hall in New York show that a larger yield and better quality of cheese can be made from sanitary milk than from the prod xict of the ordinary dairy. To his own surprise there appeared to . be abso lutely no fat lost at the press when cheese had been made from 5.5 per cent "certified" mill:. Prnffssrp Tt A Pearson in Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Planting Abandoned Lanes. Passing through the country we often notice long lanes leriding from the milk yard back into the pastures. Many of such appear to have been In use for many years, until from the excess of plant food present there Is scarcely any grass visible. This practice could be Improved by mnkiog one perma nent center fence, wire preferable, and put up a movable one to one side, causing a lane of liberal width which should correspond with size of dairy. After three years move this fence over to the other side of the center one. Plant the abandoned lane two years In succession to corn fodder., Follow the next year with grain and stock to clover; keep on making these three year rotations, and with but a very small- expense what now is a constant waste will be turned to cash. S. Gor don, Clinton County, N. Y. BUTTER AND MILK. Milk separated on the farm can of ten be kept sweet longer than that which comes home froiwthe creamery. It is not brought in contact with other and more carelessly cared for milk and DAIRY CLEANLINESS. Dur Job Department is always busy m consequently worth more ror reeo. Branding of Butter. A speaker at a recent buttermakers' convention said: I have sold buttur un der my own brand for the past twelve years and know that it has meant much to me in the way of obtaining not only - prices," but weights. The branding of butter means us much as the branding of flour. The man that goes out to buy Big Joe will not go home with the Gold Medal. If he can not get his brand at one store, he will go to some other to find it. If you have your own brand on the butter the grocer cannot palm on some other brand on his customers that are used to your make. The result Is they will go to some other store in search of their favorite make. ' . : Temperature to Separate. The warmer the milk the more fluid it is. It is a rule adopted by all creamerymen in operating power ma chines that the milk must be separated at a temperature above S5 degrees. Cold milk i more viscous or less fluid than warm, and the cream will not sep arate so readily. If this is true of power , machines, where everything runs more uniformly than is possible with a hand machine, it is certainly true of the hand machine. Professor E. H. Webster. s How Prize Butter Was Made. George H. Bristol, who won the first prize on dairy butter at the Illinois State .Dairymen's association, says of his daily methods: I keep only Jersey cows ana eiiaeavor to have my sta bles and all dairy utensils as- clean as possible.-- I feed and milk regularly. giving ground feed (corn, oats and bran mixed) for the grain ration and for roughage shredded corn fodder and alfalfa hay. I use the l)e Laval sep arator, keeping the cream nt about 50 degrees F. I warm It up to 03 degrees twelve hours before churning, and flirty TO,lt,'a2 rl""f tlla ''C f whent.

Every milking stable should be fitted up with plenty of good milking stools and proper places to keep them. It Is astonishing how some dairymen man age to get along year after year with the makeshifts that are found In sta bles.' Rickety old boxes that are black with filth, brokeu stools of almost any type or variety, and 'no place to lew; them out of the dirt or out of the way. It is easy to make a good milking stool, and the cost Is, not great. With the proper material and a few hours' time a good coififortul.Ie lot, of stools may be easily provided. a . ' , !
