PROPER FEEDING
REDUCES FLAVORS
Milk Containing Offensive
Tastes Is Rejected.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
While milk producers are giving con-
siderable attention to preventing loss:
es due to sour milk, they too rarely
recognize that other flavors and odors
also cause an annual loss probably as
great as that from sour milk. Milk
containing abnormal flavors and odors
is rejected by dealers and consumers.
Abnormal flavors result mainly from
four causes, according to C. J. Bab-
cock, of the bureau of dairy indus-
try, United States Department of Ag-
riculture. They may be due to. the
physical condition of the cow, to high-
ly flavored feeds and weeds, to the
absorption of odors by the milk after
it is drawn, or to biological changes
in the milk. :
Due to the condition of the cow
or to feeds the objectionable flavors
and odors will be noticeable just aft-
er milking, but usually will not in-
crease with time. Those caused by
absorption develop only when the at-
mosphere is permeated with 'pro-
nounced odors, whereas those due to
biological changes become more ap-
parent after some time has elapsed.
Feeds and weeds impart flavors and
odors to milk mainly. through the body
of the cow, although feed-tainted barn
air may have some effect. The time
of feeding, therefore, is an important
factor to consider in preventing unde-
sirable flavors in’ the milk, according
to Babcock. In most cases feeds do
not flavor the milk except for a few
hours, although some feeds, such as
cabbage, when consumed in large
quantities may still be noticeable in
milk drawn (12 hours afte: feeding.
For this reason, he says, highly fla
vored feeds should be fed immediately
after milking—never just before.
When fed as short a time as one hour
before milking, such feeds as silage
made from corn, alfalfa, sweet clover.
or soy beans; and such feeds as green
alfalfa, cabbage, turnips, rape, and
kale seriously affect the flavor and
odor of milk. Green rye, green CoOw-
peas, potatoes, dried-beet pulp, and
carrots affect the milk only to a slight
degree, whereas green corn, green oats
and peas, green soy beans, pumpkins.
and sugar beets have practically no
effect on the flavor and odor of milk.
Weeds that cause abnormal flavors
should be eradicated from pastures.
Until this.+is ~done, cows should be
removed from infested pastures as
long as possible before each milking
It is necessary to remove cows from
garlic-infested pastures four to seven
hours before milking to eliminate en-
tirely the garlic flavor from the milk.
Milk Storing Capacity
of Cow’s Udder Is Big
Important facts have been learned
recently about the cow’s udder. It
had been generally believed that the
milk storing capacity of the cow's ud-
der is not more than half a pint to
each quarter and that the greater part
of the milk obtained at milking is se-
creted during the milking process.
That this is incorrect was demon-
strated by slaughtering cows just pre-
vious to the usual milking time. The
udders were amputated and the milk
In one experiment the quan-
tity obtained averaged 61.1 per cent
of the normal yield by the same cows.
In another test the quantity obtained
was 76 per cent of that given by the
cows when alive. It was shown that
milk secretion is largely a continuous
process and that the capacity of the
secretory system is much greater than
had been supposed. This knowledge
should help to lay a more scientific
foundation for the selection of dairy
cattle.

A sudden change of feed may cause
scours in calves.
* * *
A good commercial dairy ration will
give excellent results.
* * *
Do not vary suddenly the quantity
of milk fed to young calves.
le
Difficult churning can: usually be
cured by using a thermometer.
* * *
Cows and hens and soils must be
fed if large production is to be main-
tained.
* * *
A common error in feeding is to
overfeed on one or two feeds, thus
giving the cow too much of .one nu-
trient.
- * *
To produce milk economically the
cow’s ration should consist largely of
the more bulky, cheaper foods. These
foods require considerable moisture
in the process of digestion, and there-
fore large quantities of water are es-
sential.
« = =
Milk utensils should always be thor-
oughly washed and rinsed before be-
ing placed in the sterilizer. If this
is not done, sterilization is not only
made more difficult, but milk which
may be adhering to the utensils is
“cooked on.”
COD LIVER OIL
AIDS EARLY CHICK
Three Tests Made at North
Carolina Station.
Three separate tests made lately at
the North “Carolina experimené sta-
tion prove the value of 1 per cent of
cod liver oil in the mash feed sup-
plied to early hatched chicks.
“Chicks reared in our laboratories
where we could control nearly all
conditions have proven the value of
cod liver oil in the mash feed,” de-
clares Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the
poultry department at State college.
“One lot of chicks fed a complete ra-
tion except for the vitamines, broke
in health in the fifth week. The chicks
receiving 1 per cent of the tested oil
in the same kind of mash did not
break in health and were strong and
well developed. In a second test, the
chicks which were not allowed to run
out-of-doors nor receive direct sun-
light gave us exactly the same results.
Those receiving the oil were strong
and well and were sold as broilers.
Those receiving only the straight
mash and grain feed broke in health
at the end of the. fifth week.”
Doctor Kaupp states that, a third
flock was carried on the basic ration
without oil but were given all the ten-
der rape that they would eat. These
broke \in health in the seventh week
indicating that they secured some
vitamines from the green feed but not
enough to keep them in good health.
In another test, at the coastal plain
station, one lot of chicks was allowed
to run on a fresh, green pasture three
or four hours during the middle of
the day with the result that they did
not break in health but were not so
large and strong as the chicks in the
cod liver oil flock. Doctor Kaupp
states that those chicks which run
out-of-doors pick up other things
which are required for good health
and development, but usually this is
not sufficient as the tests with the cod
liver oil show.
As a result of all the tests, Doctor
Kaupp believes that the expense of
using 1 per cent of this oil is well
worth while. It holds up the health
and . gives stronger constitutional
vigor.
Coccidiosis Is Very
Destructive to Chicks
Cocecidiosis is a disease of the in-
“testines and while it affects all birds
it is especially destructive to chicks
up to two months old. The cause is a
microscopic organism. The transmis-
sion of infection from diseased to
healthy birds occurs by contamina-
tion of the feed, water and ground.
The coccidia multiply with great rap-
idity in the intestines and enormous
numbers are discharged in the drop-
pings. J
The most prominent and character-
Istic symptoms in nearly all cases are
white, diarrheal discharges and the
rapid wasting away of the affected
birds. Adult birds have considerable
resistance to this germ and the dis-
ease is frequently seen in the chronic
form.
There is no satisfactory cure for
this disease in young chickens.
Balanced Ration for
Hens Very Important
Until about fifty years ago chick-
ens were fed only grain and since
they were permitted to range at will
they secured their essential require-
ments so they could live and lay
some eggs during the spring. About
this time it was discovered that ad-
ditional protein in form of meat or
milk fed with the grains became
known as the balanced ration—a ra-
tion in which the surplus carbohy-
drates of the grains were balanced
in better proportion by adding a pro-
tein concentrate. It was the bal-
anced ration that first made com-
mercial poultry keeping possible, but
in the light of recent information on
the nutrition of chickens, the poul-
tryman’s feeding problem of today is
to complete the balanced ration.
Age to Keep Hens
With Leghorns, Anconas, Minorcas
and birds of this type, the hens of the
right type may be kept until they are
three years old. It is not usually
advisable to keep them after they
have reached three years of age. With
the general purpose breeds, such as
Rhode Island Reds, Flymouth Rocks,
Orpingtons, ete., it is usually best to
sell them after they are two years old.
Extremely valuable hens can some-
times be kept five years, but this is
quite unusual.
Thin-Shelled Eggs
Whenever there is a late spring with
a great deal of cloudy weather, many
flocks lay thin-shelled eggs. The egsz-
shell quality from such a flock will be-
gin to improve as soon as the hens get
into direct sunlight. It is a common
observation that when a flock is lay-
ing thin-shelled eggs and is turned
out-of-doors in the sun, the shell qual-
ity improves. It is very important in
managing a flock to open the windows
on sunshiny days during the winter
or early spring.

A slight increase in number of
sheep on Pennsylvania farms is re-
ported by the Federal-State Crop Re-
porting Service. On January 1, this
year, the estimated number was
437,000 on the corresponding date a
year ago. The value of the sheep
has also increased slightly and is now
the highest since 1926.
Prices of sheep are considered fav-
orable and the demand good, judging
from reports received from farmers.
A number of farmers are said to be
improving their flocks.
