The most common cause of such milk- is highly flavored feed*, auch as wild onion or garlic. Even the change to new graas pastures wMI produce a pronounced "grassy flavor" In the milk. The milk consumer will notice these feed flavors at once--especially that causeo by th« cow's eating wild onions. The dairy department of the New Jersey State College of Agriculture recommends that where these difficulties occur the cows be kept off early pasture, or If that is Impracticable, that they be taken Into the barn for a period of two to four hours before milking. The wild onions to the pasture will disappear as soon aa the grass has had a chance to. crowd them out. The second group of bad milk flavors la that caused by bacteria. Here also Is found the causes of bitter milk and ropy milk. These bacteria usually fall from the cow's body Into the milk at milking time. They are very resistant and may withstandcareless sterilization. Often they Infest the seams and crevices of utenalls and cooking vats. The ropy milk organisms are found in marsh land or muddy pools in the pasture. As the cows wade through these places in early spring the bacteria cling to their coats and in that way are carried Into the barns. Thorough washing of all utensils with alkali, followed by thorough sterilization with live steam is Important. The stables should be disinfected with strong chemical solutions. Some farmers may be confused In determining whether feeds or bacteria are causing their milk troubles. The following will help in making the distinction : Feed flavors are most pronounced In the freshly drawn milk and tend to disappear with age; bacterial flavors do not appear in fresh milk, but become noticeably with age. Samples of milk which has been placed in sterilized bottles and watched 24 to 38 hours will aid one in determining the cause of abnormal milk. jxruKTtA/vWirtwwwwwwwwir»^i 1~ ~ --i~ ~i~ii~i~inij*!iifcir"~ r nrr * • *ir - -- -- - - 0.

In a series of cow testers' confer ences held recently a great deal of time was spent on feeding problems. Emphasis was given to feeding borne grown feeds In so far as possible. In all cases, the cheapest rations recommended by testers were those containing alfalfa hay and silage. Also, in all esses where alfalfa hay soy beans, or clover were used, H large part of the grain ration was made up of home-grown feeds. Test era were agreed that If any mlneial was to be fed it should be a simple mixture. If cows are fed a balanced Srain ration and have alfalfa or clovei hay, mineral requirements are very slight Plan of Skilled Man The skilled dairyman always has an eye on what this year's feeding and management will do to next year's production. He strives to have bis cows produce uniform, high-level production year after year. If one takes more out of a cow this year than he puts into her and does not give her opportunity to rest, she Will cut her production short next year, and if such management con tlnues she will continue to daciiae la production.
