MINNOW IN MILK CAN. And the Dairyman Was Honest and Did Not Water His Milk. Richmond, Ind., August 22. A live minnow, two inches in length, “showed up” in one of the samples of milk inspected by the city health department during last week. The minnow probably had gotten into the dairyman’s can while it was being washed out in the river, for the milk test showed no water. Several samples from other dairies inspected during the month, showed the presence of water and dairymen were notified that their milk must not be found wanting in any respect in the future. The "milk situation" still continues to be a live topic of conversation among the housewives, who object strenuously to the new prices of 8 cents a quart. A number of dairies still continue to- sell at the old price. 6 1-4 cents. A Very Rich Woman might search the world over and not find a better medicine than Dr. King’s New Health Tea for Female Complaints, Headache,. Constipation, Billiousness, Indigestion or Kidney Trouble. But the poorest may enjpy the glorious health this certain cure imparts. Only 25c at A. F. Long’s.

UDDER IMPORTANT IN DAIRY CATTLE.

Years of close observation and not a little personal experience have proved to my satisfaction that there Is no use saying or claiming that there is any one 'breed which is best for everybody, writes E. E. Rockwood in National Stockman. There are certain characteristics inherent in each, certain differences between them, which would appeal to different men in an entirely different way. One admires the big bodied, generous yielding Holsteins. He wants a lot of milk and is not so particular about the rate of butter fat There are certainly many points of excellence about Holsteins. They have few udder troubles, are hardy and rugged. hearty eaters and splendid producers. By selecting only those showing the better percentage of fat a profitable herd can be had. For those who do not demand an exceptionally large flow of milk, looking rather to richness of the product and its low cost, the Jersey cow certaimy commends our hearty approval. As an economical producer of rich milk she cannot be excelled. That the Jersey is any more susceptible to disease or Is less rugged than any other cow there is no proof. v Many 1 Individuals might be improved by giving them larger teats These points are matters lying almost wholly with the selection of animals. Any breeder can improve the udders on his herd in a single generation by discarding all but the type which he wishes to preserve. Jersey heifers at first calving in our own herd have shown widely differing conformation in this respect, varying from udders the size of a two quart pail to those measuring forty-five inches in circumference, with good sized teats from the first. The Guernsey cow we have had an opportunity of studying at close range also. We have had them standing side by side with Jerseys in the stable. As producers they average about the same in quantity and also in quality. They are vigorous and hardy with ordinary care and are somewhat less excitable than the Jerseys. Let a stranger enter the stable and every Jersey is on her feet, wide eyed with interest, while the Guernsey continues chewing her cud undisturbed. In udder conformation the Guernsey shows a persistent tendency to unevenness. Many are too light in the front quarters. This peculiarity of the Guernsey udder does not necessarily mean a han-

A SPLENDID MAMMARY SYSTEM.

[Udder of Princess, a pure bred Holstein, owned by the New Jersey Agricultural college. In 1909 she produced 14.507 pounds of milk.J dicap, since there are any number of cows possessing that type which have proved excellent performers. I call Guernseys excellent cows, persistent milkers of a high quality of milk and a .breed which a man will make no mistake in selecting. The Brown Swiss have a place in the dairy ranks; also the Ayrshires. My advice to any one beginning a dairy herd would be this: If the object is quantity of milk and medium fat content, select the Holsteins. If for rich milk, cream or butter, the Jersey or the Guernsey either will fill the bill. Whatever breed is chosen one will need to do considerable culling and use the Babcock test and the scales faithfully in order to bring his herd up to the most profitable point. When this is done, any of the recognized dairy breeds will prove satisfactory if cared for and fed as they should be.

The Iowa Silo.

Two years ago the agricultural engineering section of the lowa experiment station invented a new kind of silo which was called the lowa silo. This silo is built of specially made hollow tile. It is as permanent as a cement silo and much easier to construct It costs no more than the best grade of stave silo and will last several times as long. Since this silo was first devised thirteen have been constructed in various parts of the state. A careful account was kept of the actual cost of construction. The manner in which the ensilage kept was also watched carefully. Without exception these silos are proving satisfactory.

Weighing and Testing Milk.

This is the only sure way to determine the difference in value between the good and inferior cow. Weighing and testing daily is only a business proposition. It is the,only safe way of determining what price to ask, for a cow in selling her or what to pay for her when buying. No intelligent farmer will sell a cow for S3O that will make him a net profit of S4O or SSO a year. Neither will he keep a cow that doesn’t pay him a profit if he knows it Test and weigh the milk is the way to know.
