Many farmers who pay strict atten- tion to the correct handling of their milk and cream during the hot weath- er relax their vigilance during the wine ter. The result is that good milk is produced during that part of the year when good milk is difficult to produce and a low grade of milk when it is naturally easy to produce good. Too much dependence should not be placed on the natural coolness of the atmos- phere, for the chances are that this will not spfiice, It is a noted fact that during the fall and early winter pur- chasers of milk often find it more dif-- ficult to keep the product from getting sour than they do during the hot wéather. Milk should be cooled to at least 50 degrees F. immediately upon being drawn from the can and kept at that temperature until 'used. If the ordi nary coolness of the atmosphere is de- bended upon for this, it may be. hours before the milk reaches the required temperature, and in the meantime mi- crobes have Yeen multiplying which in -@ short time will render the milk unfit for use. To produce first-élass milk the same care le demanded in the win- ter months as during the summer, cleanliness and a correct temperature being of cardinal importance at all times. . 90000000000000000000000000 WHY.

Guesswork in Apportionment Is Ex. pensive in More Ways Than One --Good Rule Is Given. "Guesswork in apportioning . milk to the dairy calf Is expensive beth from the fact that irregular amounts often cause digestive troubles and be cause more milk than necessary is fre- quently fed." This statement 1s quoted from Circular No. 202, published by the Illinois Experiment station, Ur- bana, IIL A"general rile is to feed one pound of whole or skimmed milk to each eight 'pounds of live weight, rarely feeding In excess. of 12 pounds of either. The schedule of feeding used by the Ninos station calls for four «Splendid Dairy Type. pounds of whole milk to a Jersey calf the first two days; six to eight pounds from third to twenty-eighth day; three to four pounds of both skim milk and whele milk from twenty- eighth to, thirgy-fifth day; eight to ten pounds skim milk from thirty-fifth to fifty-sixth day, and ten to 'twelve pounds from fifty-sixth to ninety-first day, ,A holstein calf is given some- what more milk at a younger age, though rarely does the total fed go above 12 pounds. PROPER GROWTH OF CALVES Puszling Question to Gray Heads in Calf Business--Much Depends on Ration Futnished. How fast should my calves grow? is a puzzling question even .to gray heads in the calf-raising business. This will, depend to a largé extent on, the kind of ration fed, but in order for sny ration to be considered a definite suc- cess the calves should show a gain of at least a pound a day each day for the first six months. Many ordinary dajrymen are getting a pound and a half gain dally. a In height these same calves shenld Increase from one and one-half to twe Inches per month for the first half year. The hight und weight have a definite relation for average sized calves. dur ing this first period. After six months this relation gradually changes and the weight outstrips time height. At one month of age a normal calf of any breed weighs, approximately three pounds for each inch in height, but at the end of the six months' period the weight has increased to six 'and one- 'half pounds for each inch in height. From that time on there is a continued 'Widening In the relation of welght to F height until maturity, ; : pocesessssssesssech rT 5 soc o00PROOOLOORS BUTTER MAKER SHOULD KNOW 'Mutt Handle Cream and Churn In.

It is comparatively easy, If one is willing to spend a little time in car ing for a hotbed, to have several green vegetable crops throughout wu large part of the winter season, according to the horticultural department of the University of Missouri College of Ag- ricuiture. Ordinarily lettuce and rad- Ishes may be planted in a hotbed soon after cold weather begins and they will be ready for the Thanksgiving season, if well cared for. Another crop may be grown immediately afterward by re- charging the bed, and this will be ready by the Christmas and New Year holidays, r Onicns may be easily grown from Seeds under the same conditions, pro. vided they are kept growing rapidly and tlie temperature does not become too high during the early part of their growth. After the" coldest weather 18 past, If the frames are not needed for starting an early spring cron, another €rop, or even two, of the same vegeta bles may be had in the early spring, Another erop which may be had ip the fall by transplanting about 'the time frost is expected, is celery. This, when 'grown in the hgtbed or cold frame, will pe entirely 'self-blanching which is aw added incentive to using it in this way. Any thoroughly dark corners in the basement may be used for forcing roots of rhubarb or even asparagus at any time during the winter, and parts of the asparagus or rhubarb rows may be forced early in the spring by bufld- ing a coldframe over them about two months before the ground wanld ordi narily thaw, ; SPREAD MANURE ON FIELDS Loss of Plant Food by Fermentation and Leaching Ought to Be Pre. vented--Test at Wooster.
