VALUE OF A GOOD BULL.
Prepcdent Dairy Sirs of Pure Breeding
Pays For Himself.
The question la often asked, "What
Is it good sire worth?” I.et us figure
a little, writes H. E Erdmslne In
Kimball's Dairy Farmer. .Suppose a
naan baa ten cows, producing on an
average 200 pounds of butter fat per
year. From these ten cows he should
raise at least four heifer Calve* each
year, or eight heifer calves during the
two years u dairy hull Is usually kept.
When a good sire Is mated to sue!:
cows the resulting heifers will often
produce 75 to 150 pounds more butter
fat each yeur than did their dams.
But suppose each of these eight heifers
produces only thirty pound* more than
tint da ms.
Then during six year*, the average
milking life of a cow, each heifer
would, produce lfiO pounds more but-
The ability of the grade Guernsey
to produce butter fat at a profit has
been demonstrated many time*, but
a teat at the national dairy show,
IMJ, which wn» carried on for the
purpose of showing the advantage
of keeping records, also demon
strated th» economy of the Guern
sey cow In the production of but
ter fat. In this test a grade Guern
sey cow for nine consecutive dnv*
produced butter fnt worth 33.1 t cents
per pound at a food cost of U. 9
cent* per pound.
ter tut than would liuve been produce l
had the sire been no better than tin
dam. One hundred and eighty pound
ot fat at 25 cents ure worth $45. Multi
ply this by 8 and you have $llOO. ot
the amount that the extra quality of
the sire has added to the value of tin
product of his eight heifers. The man
who Is In the bustnesn to make money
—and who Is In It for any other ren
son?—cannot Ignore this phase of the
business.
Usually when a man finds out thal
his cows ure not what he wants he
la In such a hurry to sell them and
buy good ones that l»o will sell them
for what ho can get and pay almost
any price for what he wants to buy
That Is a mistake. Unless Ills cows
are actually robbers he had better
keep them and mate them to good
sires. Then by raising the heifers
from the best cows, testing nnd weigh
Ing the milk from all the cows often
enough to know what each one Is do
tng, he can gradually build up bis
herd.
Thla takes time, but It ta surprising
what ten yearn—or even five—of this
kind of breeding will do. Of course
there are often opiiortunitles to buy a
few good cows, but It Is usually the
poor cows that are offered for sale
Remember, a dulryinan seldom offers
to sell a good, tested cow. Unless he
Is going out of business he will sell
only his poorer cows. It behooves
.every dairyman to get the use of - a
good sire and then raise the good helf
ere— those from the best cbws.
Bad Flavors In Milk.
Whore a cow has been a long time In
milk and Is near the end of her lnctn
tlon |>ertod this may cause undesirable
flavors, especially when she Is fed en
' tlrely on dry foods. The feeding of
clean, wholesome foods, with roots to
; supply succulence, will often overcome
the trouble, but If n cow bo close to the
! end of her lactation period It Is well to
j let her go dry. A cow’* milk la not
i normal In either flavor or composition
: Just before or after freshening. It
! should not be used after she freshens
! until it reaches a normal condition,
j which usually means fire days, nnd

Making Butter on the Farm.
The farm bnttermnker should be
careful nut to overwork butter. It Is
desirable thut butter have a firm,
waxy body, nnd this caunot be obtain
od by workiug more tlmn necessary to
remove the buttermilk. Butter pua
| sessed of a firm and waxy body has a
! keeping quality superior to that which
la worked until It Is salvy and there Is
little or no grain. The butter paddle Is
probably the poorest Implement de
vised for the working of butter, par
ticularly so if the paddle U used with
a slappy effect. In working with the
paddle or other Implement a cutting
and squeezing motion should be em
ployed,—Kaunas Farmer.
Brewer*' Grain* For Milk Cows.
Brewers' grain*, wot or dry, are good
feed for dairy cows, says Hoard’s Dairy
tmm. They are comparatively rich In
protein, and so far as protein la con
eerned brewers’ grain* are not needed
when nlfntfn Is used, but very often
brewer*'grain* furnish nutrient* cheap
er than other feeds and can be fed to
advantage wen with hay rich tn pro

FARMERS, ATTENTION !
DAIRY POINTERS.
If milk is at too low a tem
perature at the process of *epn

of cream, and cream is too valu
able to waste.
Silage 1* the very best winter
pasture for the dairy herd. It
produces more nearly than any
thing else summer conditions In
the winter stable.
This is the time to pick up
good heifer calve* to re enforce
the dairy. Never buy a calf
from a grade sire.
When the cream break* and
the butter begins to form cold
water should be used carefully
to assist In the separation.
A chum that I* not perfectly
clean will taint and spoil the

PREPARING CREAM
FOR MAKING BUTTER
There are two systems of preparing
cream for buttermaking. The first is
to churn aweet cream aod the sec
ond sour or ripened cream. There are
many advantage* of the latter over the
farmer, the most Important being that,
first. It churus quicker and more
easily. Second, it produces the finest
flavor and aroinn obtainable, and also
these characters are uniform. By this
Is meant that different churnings, all
equally ripe, will produce a more uni
form good butter thftn they would
have done if they had been sweet
cream, because the variation Is less In
ripened erenm. Third, there Is much
less loss of fat In the buttermilk.
Butter tnnde from ripened cream
keeps better on the average than sweet
cream butter. In well ripened cream
there is practically a pure culture of
lactic bacteria, and It Is found, where
eo many of this species are present,
that they prevent the growth of those
bacteria which produce the bud flavors
and aromas.
The temperature Influences the ripen
lng, for difforent organisms have dif
ferent optimum tbest) temperatures.
So, unless the cream is set at the
optimum temperature of the lactic bac
teria, other organisms which are barm

The Holstein cow as we see her
today Is the result of centuries of
earnest thought and careful devel
opment on the part of those who
have been breeding her, writes A.
-A. Hartshorn In Kimball’s Dairy
Farmer She has become *uoh a
great producer that those who are
now breeding Holstelns have a dif
ficult task to perform If they ex
pect to continue this improvement.
If they do not breed wisely our
breed will become less rather than
more valuable as dairy animals.

pounds of butter fat In a year.
ful will develop. It has been found
that below 00 degrees ripening is slow
and the butter produced Is rather bad
flavored and churns with difficulty
The best temperature is about 75 de
grees. There are three methods of
ripening cream—namely, first, allowing
to ataiid until sour; second, adding
homemade starter; third, by using a
pure culture starter.
It is found that excellent butter is
made hy allowing the cream to sour
Itself; but like sweet cream, It does
not give uniform results. The secwtil
method la often practiced. Some clean,
good buttermilk or sour milk Is taken
and strained through n muslin cloth
Into the cream. The quantity depends
on the amount of cream to be ripened
and the length of the ripening period,
bnt the flavor la often impaired be- |
cause of the number of putrefactive,
bacteria present, and the butter does
rot keep so well. The third system |
produces by far the most uniform but ;
ter. The cream is first pasteurized be
tween 165 and 170 degrees and then
cooled to about 70 degrees, and then '
the starter Is added nt the rate of j
about 2H to 5 per cent of the cream, !
but It la better to use less starter and
give a longer ripening period. Al
though this method Is considered best. |
excellent butter has been made by al
lowing the cream to soar Itself, and the
only advantage that can he seen la that
it produces a more uniform quality at
each churning. v
Improvement of Dairy Cow*.
It Is poor policy to (ry to Improve
upon any breed of dairy cattle by
crossing one breed upon another. This
has been done In some cases, but It
never gets ono anywhere. There may
be exceptional Instances where Individ
uals hare proved good, but for each of
these there will be hundred! that will
be wort blest.
