Does every can or bottle of miik you [2re seliing contain the same percent- age of fat and solids not fat? It ought to. In order to realize the necessity of mixing all of the milk from ail of the cows in the herd together before bot- tling or canning it, one has but to recognize the fact that milk contains water, fat and solids not fat, that the state 'and federal standards for fat and solids mnot fat are 3.25 per cent and 8.5 per cent. respectively, and that certain factors cause milk to vary widely in composition. Compesition of Miik. The average composition of milk is here given €0 it can be seen how the difterent milk constituents are group- e Water . . T per cent. i . 4 per cent. Solids not fat 9 per cent. Cassein ............. 2.6 per cent Albumen L.. 7 per cent. Sugar .... 6.0 per cent. TR 7 per cent. There are two prime reasons why | the per cent. of fat in your milk may [Yary from one can or bottle to another if you are not mixing the miik of the enilre herd before putting it in the final package, first the fact that is iz 2 coincidence if the milk from any two of the cows in your herd tests ex- actly aiike, and second the fact that night and morning milk may vary in composition. Thers are two reasons why these variations muet be con- sidered; first, every can or bottls of milk you esll must bs above the state stzndard for fat and solids not fat, and second. if you are eelling bottled milk the consumer wants to ses the came amount of cream on your milk every day or there is trouble. Tt may be said that this matter of mixing herd milk is more important in herds containing many naturally rather low testing individuals, as is the case with most herds producing market miik, than it is with herds made _up entirely of high testing cat- tle. However, when the matter of un- formity of cream lide is considered it can be seen that it is essential to mix milk in high testing herds be- cause wide variaiions in the per cent. of fat exist in these herds as in the others. The Problem in the Average Market | Milk Herd. The tepic will be consldered frem the standpoint of the averege market milk producing herd. Take for ex- ample a herd of 6 Holstein cows pro- ducing at a given milking as follows: Per Cent o | No. 1—25 Ibs. No. 2—20 Tbe. - 3—23 Tbs. No. 4—20 Ibs. Xo. 5—30 1bs. milk testing No. 6—20 Ibs. milk testing Suppose the milk is strained into 20 quart cans, as it is milked. It can be plainly seen that If the milk of num- bers 2 and ‘3, 2 and 4, or 3 and 4, for example,get into the same can, the can will be full and milk will test below 3.25 per cent. fat; the miik from No. 4 and No. 5 would more than fill 2 can and this can of milk would be milk testing milk testing milk testing milk testing OF HERD MILK | TK 18 sht AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS well above the standard for fat. This milk s shipped from some place in to Providence. This i state trafic and hence m musi conform to federa) standard which is same as Connecticut stand- ard. The federal inspector takes g sample from each can of milk at vidence and finds that one or two s are below the standard while inter the others are well above it. The un- fortunate producar of the milk . is brought into court fist as quick on this evidence as if every can had been found to be bslow the standard. The same thing might happen in_selling Dottled milk in the state if the cans of milk were bottled eeparately 2s is sometimes the case. There is mno question in the writer's mind but that many of the prosecutions that have been made have been due to the fact that the producer has failed to mix his herd milk. In the above example had all' the milk been mixed together afore canning it the test would have een close to 3.3 per cent which is above the standard. In case the milking is done eo that approximately the same time elapses between botii milkings, thers will be little diffefence in the average per cent. of fat of the night and morning herd milk. Many times the dnterval between ‘the morning and evening milking is shorter than the interval between the evening and morning milking. When this is the case the evening milk usually tests from .2 to 4 per cent. higher than the morning milk. In herds where the milk is running close to the standard this be- comes an important point which may make necessary even the mixing of the entire night and morning milk together. Little has been said about the per cent. of solids not fat. Ordinarily if the fat in the milk is above the stand- ard tho solids not fat will alzo be above standard. The farmer should direct his attention to having all his milk testing uniformly in butter fat. On the majority of farms a tank sim- ilar to a creamery weigh can with a gate in the bottom makes a good mix- ing tank. These cazn be purchased from dairy supply houses or can be made by a local tinemith. The milk from all the cows is tank and stirred wit stirer. Tt then drawn off into the cans. On farms where large herds are kept it becomes advisable to se- cure a small haif-round vat in which to do the mixing. The spring and summer months are months when the fat in milk naturally runs low, hence this matter deserves particular atten- tion at this time. Do not wait until You are accused of selling milk below the standard before you mix your herd milk. “Do It now. —H. 1dkins, rained into this » an ordinary can B Connecticut Agricuitural Colle NURSERY STOCK.

This will prevent skimming and repetition; it will sustaln interest—keep the subject aliv "The teaching of agriculturs In rural schools never wiil be a snecess so long as we teach the same thing over and over again. year after year, or zl- low the teacher to skim all the brenches and leave a subject barren and unin- teresting for tha teacher who follows the next yesr. In one-room schools all children in the lower grades bacome as familfar with subjects taught in the seventh and eighth grades as do their older brothers and sisters. By rotating the subjects 2 new field is opened to the pupils each year. Rotation of subjects means the teaching of but one class of zubjects each year, such a: First Year—Farn Crops — Corn, alfalfa, ‘weeds, seeds, gardens, snd for girls, sew. tng, gfe.

Eliminates repetition. Gives a new subject each year. Keeps interest alive and keen. Does not kill the subject by skimming or teaching the same thing over and_over again. Makes the directing of the work much easier for the County Superin- tendent, who always has more than he can do. Instead of having several lines of instruction to prepare each year, he will have but one. Agriculture will ultimately be taught !n all rural schools. Tn Oklahoma it is required by the state constitution. in other states by law. Some states have tried it, but in a hit-and-miss fashion. They have skimmed through books; taught words, not things; repeated the same subjects every Tear; killed interest; made agriculture a dead letter. If we would teach agriculture in a way to bring the best results, we must keep it alive—must develop interest—must rotate the subjects. Agriculture cannot be successfully introduced in 2ll the rural schools in any state or any county at the same time. It must grow into the schools. That is the basis of the plan adopted In Oklahoma. They selected twelve County Superintendents who are live wires. These things and collected the necessary demonstration material. Each of these superintendents selected from four to a dozen of his best teachers, In whose schools Agriculture is being tanght this vear. These teach- ers were given special {nstruction st the Teachers’ Institutes. ‘When the school year opened the County Superintendent and his assist- ants visited one of these schools and assisted the teacher in starting the work- right. Then a second school was visited, and a third, and so on. There are only a few teachers to look after this year. The work of the superintendent 1s simplified, concentrated, made more effective. Next year other counties and other schools will be added. Agriculture will grow into the schools. In four or five years it will be taught in every, rural school in the state—and taught in the right way. We cannot vitalize agriculture in the rural schools except by rotating the sabjects. . We cannot put agriculture Into all the schools at once. We must let. 1t grow. And the word “agriculture” is used hers to mean anything pertaining to, the life 2and welfare of the children and the people of the community—heaith, sanitation, soclal conditions, home convenlerces, community interest, as wel? as the things having to do directly with farming. i bevond the injury. It is well to cut the etock at a slant so that a larger surface will be exposed to the bottom soll. A generous hole should be dug, larger than the spread of the roots. The trees should be placed a couple of inches deeper than it stood in the nursery. In case of fruit trees a little crook is often found near where the tree was budded. It =hould be planted so that this crook is at the eurface tle toward the prevailing wind or the strongest lateral branch should be pointed into the prevailing wind. It is well to puddle the roct system. This is done Dby using a pail of water and fine loam and working the roots in this. A large amount of wet loam wili adhere to the root system and assist in helping the plant to take hold in its new location. The tree is now ready for planting.

Fruit growers have been deeply en- gazed in spraying their apple trees with strong Itme sulphur. This ma- terial has been used at the rate of one zallon to eight zallons of water and applied to the trees to control the San Jose scale, aphis, bud moth and certain funzus discases. There are many sectlons where the elevation is high, where the land s heavy, where the trees have not advanced to such an extent, and it will still not be to late to spray. Tt is safe to spray with this strong material up to the time when the ieaves are about a quarter or half an inch in length. It is true that these tips will be burned. but the in- ner leaves will not be injured. They will grow out rapidly and one will not realize that the tips of the first un- folding leaves have been burned. All whose trees have not been sprayed nd whose leaves have not emerged ny more than suggested' should apply thelr stronz llme sulphur spray im- mediately. This Is disagreeable ma- terial to apply, and if it gets into one’s eves is likely to cause much di comfort.

No Rival-as Consumer of By-Products and Unmarketable Mater: No branch,of live stock farming is more produciive of eatisfactory Te- sults than the. raising .of well-bred swine, if conducted with a reasonable care, ‘according :to the specialists of the Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S Department of Agriculture. Hogs fit into the modern scheme of farming on nearly every farm, and are one of the most_important animals to raise both tor meat and for money. They re- auire less labor, less equipment, and less capital. make greater gains per hundred pounds of concentrates fed, reproduce themselves faster and in sreater numbers, and give a quicker “turnover” of money than any other animal except _poultry. Farmers of the South and West particularly have awakened to the merits of the hog and are rapidly increasing their output of Poric and their bank accounts. The hog has no rival as a consumer of by-products and numerous unmar- ketable materials which but for him might be wasted. Kitchen refuse, not only from farms but also from hotels and restaurants, when cooked before being used makes an excelient food. The value of skim milk as a hog feed i3 known on every farm though not slways fully appreciated. In the neighborhood of many large dairies, pork production is a very prominent and lucrative supplement to the dairy industry. To prevent tuberculosis, all milk and milk products should be cooked before being fed to hogs.
