Your Patronage Is Solicited Testing Milk By H. E. McNatt, Margins are so close these days, and money so easy to lose, that the dairy farmer has had to get better acquainted with the profits from his cows than he could by just milking and feeding. It is important that the dairy cow be carefully fed and cared for. But if she is not producing a profitable quantity of mlk or butter, she is making more work and less profits, The amount of milk she gives is of vital importance. But if the milk is very low in butter fat, even a large bucketful may not contain much cream. The farmer who is in the business for profit should know. The folowing directions for testing milk on the farm have been prepared by Mr. H. EB. MecNatt, an assistant in dairying in the Missouri College of Agriculture: Taking the Sample.—The milk of every cow varies in fat from day to day and from milking to milking. For this reason a mixed sample covering several days is necessary to give a fair average of her milk. The sam- ple tested should be an average of at least six milkings, and better, even more. In taking the samples from the individual cows, proceed as fol- lows: Procure as many sample jars (ordinary good) as there are cows being milked. Paste a label upon each jar, upon which is written the name or number of the cow. Be sure the jars are pro- vided with the usual rubber rings to make them air-tight. Drop 15 drops of formalin into each jar to preserve the milk, Formalin may be obtained | from nearly any druggist. Put the jars with lids »wed on tightly in a safe place convenient to where the milk is strained, After a cow is milked, mix the milk in the pail by ing’ or by | pouring into another verse Take a sample out with a small dipper made by soldering a piece of wire to a brass shotgun shell. Be sure the dipper is full of milk. Pour the contents of the dipper into the jar bearing the name of the animal whose milk is be- ing sampled. Screw the lid on tight- ly. Do the same with milk. Repeat the process during at least six consecutive milkings: Shake the jars gently each day so as to prevent the cream from harden- ing and sticking to the sides of the jar. Do not, however, shake hard enough to churn the milk. Testing.—The apparatus necessary to make a test is as follows: A test- ing machine or centrifuge; a milk pipette of 17.6 ce capacity; milk bot- tles; an acid measure of 17.6 ce ca- pacity, and a pair of dividers. An en- tire outfit large enough for a herd of not more than 20 cows can be pur- chased for $4.00 to $9.09, In using the pipette it will b efound convenient to push a piece of pure gum rubber tubing over the large end of the pip- ette about half an inch, leaving about one inch projecting, Ordinarily no rubber tubing is used, the pressure of the finger on the end of the pipette regulating the outflow of the milk. Thoroughly mix the’ sample to be tested by pouring back and forth from the sample jar to a clean cup or jar at least six times and until no fat is left adhering to the wal’g of the sam- ple jar. Be careful not to spill any of the milk. Draw the pine'te nearly full of milk by sucking with the lips.! Squeeze the rubber tube above the glass until the milk is held when the lirs are removed. escape until the mark on the pipet e is reached, by varying the pressure on the rubber tube. Transfer the milk carefully to one of the test bottle: Mark the number of the cow on the bottle. Be sure all the milk runs out of the pipette. PARRAARARRRRnennnnnnennnnnn en eee O 0000 eum TO IMPROVE SUBSOIL The very latest development in Mis. , souri is the use of dynamite in the. ground to do deep subsoiling. This work was started_and encouraged by one of the large powder companies, and now seems to be an important possibility for the improvement of some Missouri land. The fiat prairie lands in central, northeast and southweet Missouri have a heavy subsoil which “holds wa- ter like a jug.” They are poorly drained, and therefore do not become as productive as they otherwise would If something could be done to break up the solid subsoil, underground drainage’ would be increased, and the ground would become more workable and a better place for plants to grow. The dynamite is placed in holes about three feet deep and set off. The result is a breaking up and cracking of the solid clay all around the blast. These are set close enough together go that the whole subsoil ig partly broken up. It is claimed by the promoters of this plan. that the drainage thus es- tablished will last for about eight years, when it will have to be done over. The first report of success with dy- namiting was from a farmer in the southwest part of the state. He had no records, but stated that there was a considerable increase in the crops.

This may be ob- tained from any druggist, or in larger quantities from a creamery supply house.

Then without disturbing the “spread” of the dividers, one point is placed at the line on bottle marked with 0, and the reading made where the other point touches the scale. This method enables one to read the per cent of} fat easily and accurately. Cautions and Remedies.—If a sam- ple curdles before testing, start a new one, adding a few more drops of formalin than at first. Sulphuric acid destroys clothing and burns the flesh, so handle it with) care, If spilled on the hands, wash off with water at once. a Keep the bottles hot while testing, and they must be hot when the read ing is taken. If they become cold, place them in hot water up to within an inch of the top of the neck and ‘leave for five minutes before reading, | If the test has been properly con- ducted, the fat column will be clear with no sediment present, either be. low or above. If a white cheesy sedi- ment shows under the fat column, use a little more acid next time, Whit«| ‘foam on top of the fat column is usu:| | ally caused by using hard water, and) | may be avoided by using rain water. | If the fat column is° dark, or nas} black sediment below the fat, use les:| acid or cool the milk. Keep the acid) bottle tightly stopped with a glass| or rubber stopper, as sulphuric acid} absorbs water from the air and be- comes weaker. or and will keep accurte records of the cost and increased crops. This de. partment has many such experiment fields all over the state, determining various problems in crop production. It is estimated that the average cost of dynamiting is about $10 an acre, and it would require an increase of five bushels of corn per acre to make It pay. Save Moisture and Increase Corn Crop This is the kind of a season when the one-horse drag is going to pay its way in the corn field. When the other cultivators have done as much as possible and the corn is almost “laid by,” the sun keeps pumping wa- ter out of the soil, And the corn needs this water. 7 Actual results in this part of the country have shown that especially in a dry season the drag increases the yield of corn. That last bit of moisture which will make the ears a little bet- ter filled out and the kernels plumper, will add a good many bushels to the whole field. And the expense of op- erating it is not great. Director Thorne of the Ohio Experi- ment Station has stown that the yield of wheat in England has increased in direct proportion to the increase of the number of animals per cultivated acre.

EVIDENCE OF SOUND MANAGEMENT A sound, well-managed bank invar- iably lays aside, regularly, part of its earnings, thereby accumulating a fund for the protection of deposits. The Farmers Bank of Bates county has always followed this desirable plan and asa result it now bears the distinction of having.a greater Sur- plus fund than any other bank in the County—$30,000.00. This sum to- gether with its Capital, makes a total of over $80,000.00 as a protection for all deposits. Both small and large accounts are welcomed, either subject to check or at interest in our Savings Depart- ment.
