quality of milk is to be improved.
For sterilizing, steam under pres-
sure, the most satisfactory agent, is
seldom available. In its absence, a
sufficient quantity. of boiling water
gives good results. Pails, strainers,
etc., after washing are scalded ,by
pouring a pint of boiling water over
the entire inner surface; cans are
best treated by pouring in a quart of
boiling water, replacing the lid, and
rolling the can along the floor to en-
sure thorough ‘scalding of the inner
surface. As the temperature of the
water drops over 50 degrees Fahren-
heit during this operation a fresh
quantity must be provided for each
utensil. |
Because of the saving in time and
fuel, chlorine solutions are being used
‘in some districts to replace the scald-
ing treatment, and where used intelli-
gently have equal or superior steriliz-
ing efficiency. Cans and pails are
carefully rinsed with chlorine solution
as in the scalding treatment, or im-
mersed for one minute in a tank con-
taining the solution. Either is satis-

Feeding Cows Grain in
Summer Is Profitable
There are some splendid lessons to
be learned from cow testing associa-
tions because of the records they
keep. One herd of eight cows that
was fed an average of three pounds
‘of grain per day during June and July
last year produced 3,550 pounds more
milk and 186 pounds more fat than
the same cows produced during the
corresponding two months the gear
before, when no grain was fed to sup-
plement the pasture. Valuing the
grain mixture at $30 a ton, the extra
feed cost $22.50. If we assume that
the 186 pounds of butterfat had a
Yorker,
ever,’ can be easily and conveniently
neutralized and controlled if the eggs
are placed where the air contains
small amounts of carbon dioxide.
This discovery has a practical re-
sult because carbon dioxide can be
introduced into cold storage rooms in
amounts which greatly retard the de:
structive changes in the eggs and yet
the amount in the air will not be
enough to prevent workmen from en-
tering the storage rooms. Carbon di
oxide can be used also in shipping
containers and in refrigerator cars.
A convenient source of this gas can
be used, such as the solid form or
the gas form in cylinders. Professor
Sharp says the only method of pre-
serving eggs which approaches this
one in cheapness and practicability
is the oil dipping method in which
eggs are dipped in a suitable oil
which very nearly seals the pores.
The carbon dioxide method is su-
perior to the oil méthod. because the
whites of the oil-dipped eggs become
cloudy in storage. Those preserved
by the carbon are not cloudy after
the eggs are removed from the air
which contains the carbon dioxide.
Concrete Runs Outside
Brooder House Are New
Concrete runs outside of the brood-
er house are a comparatively new ad-
dition to poultry farm equipment but
are coming into use because of sev-
eral ‘advantages. They enable one to
use a brooder house without danger
from contaminated soil near them,
save the labor of moving portable
buildings and make it possible to keep
chicks near the dwelling or barns,
says a writer in the Rural New
As they do not have to bear
heavy weights, a two-inch thickness
of concrete is sufficient, except at the
edges, where double that thickness is
needed to prevent breaking.
They should be smooth for easy
cleaning, have a slope for drainage.

Dairy Cow Production
Shows Large Increase
Great changes have taken place in
the past few years in the dairy in-
dustry. For one thing, the average
production of our cows has increased
greatly, The census figures in 1920
show that there were 23,750,000 dairy
cows in this country and they pro-
duced a total of 89,500,000,000 pounds
of milk.
In 1926, the total number of cows
in this country had dropped to 22,-
166,000, but they produced a total of
120,750,000,000 pounds of milk.
That’s 7 per cent fewer cows, and
they gave 34.7 per cent more milk,
quite a remarkable change in a few
years time. This change is a tribute
to the value of educational endeavor,
promoting better breeding, better
feeding, and better care of dairy cows.
but especially better feeding.
Increase in Number of
Cows Tested in Country
Cow testing associations in the
United States showed a remarkable
growth during 1928. There was a 15
per cent increase in associations, with
a total of 465,804 cows under test.
California, leads in the total num-
ber of cows under test and also in
the percentage of cows which are be-
ing tested. There ‘are four states that
beat California in the number of
herds under test, as most of her
herds were large. Wisconsin stands
second in total number of cows under
test and first in number of herds.
Minnesota ranks third in number of
cows and Jowa fourth. Towa now has
2.7 per cent of her dairy cattle under
test.
Valuable Cow Feed |
Beet tops are a valuable feed for
cows although as they contain only
about ten pounds of dry matter per
100 they should form but a part of
the roughage ration. In feeding value
they are worth about half as much
as. the same weight of good corn si-
lage. Beet tops are readily preserved
in a silo of any kind. In Germany
where enormous quantities are used
for feed the trench silo is in general
use. If put in as cut they carry too
much water,
i
They may be lightly covered with
sand, loam or litter, though the es-
sential thing is that they be kept
clean to prevent infection from drop-
pings picked up by the chicks run-
ning upon them.

Overcrowding in the poultry house
discourages production of eggs.
* * *
Sitting hens should be dusted with
sodium fluoride before being put on
the nest.
* * *
Gather the eggs frequently to avoid
the dirt that may be gerjed in on the
hen’s feet.
*® * *
Chicks hatched so as to begin laying
the first of October are usually the
most profitable.
* * *
As many farmers have found, profits
with poultry can easily be increased
by better feed and care.
* * *
When possible it is well to have &
pen where the little pigs can go for
food but to which the sows do not
have access.
* * *
A colt may be fed on cow’s milk pro-
vided the milk is not too rich in fat.
Use the milk from a cow that does
not give very rich milk.
LJ * *
Unless pullets are laying by October
1 they will miss a great deal of the
high-priced egg period. If they start
laying much earlier than this, there is
danger of a fall moult.
* * *
A small poultry flock properly fed
and cared for is more profitable than
a large flock given indifferent care.
* * *
Protein is a constituent of feeding
stuffs which is used by chickens for
building muscles and tissues, in ad-
dition to the prodnetion of eggs.
