Clemson College Weekly Notes For Farmer and Dairyman. ? ? ; (Tlie?e notes are prepared weekly by the Dairy Division of Olemson Col lege which will be glad to answer any questions pertaining to dairying.) The siqell of good silage is a cow's best appetiser. Remember always that food is the only material wltfi which a cow can make milk. The first essential for making mom^y In dairying is to eliminate all "board ers" from the herd. ' ?> * ? it, Dirt iti milk moans trouble ami ex pense to the producer, distributor and consumer. Moreover, It means a lower price. About nine-tenths of the dirt in milk has been found to be cow manuire. Keep the cow and the dairy barn clean. Milkers should have clean closed top palls, clean, dry hands and clean clothes. These are essentials in clean milk production. It is more necessary and advisable* to groom cows than horses. Yet how many farmers take this care of their cows? Milk absorbs odors readily. Do not put it where it can be tainted by meats, soap, vegetables, fruits or other strong odored provisions. 1 Do not keep cream in rusty milk cans, setters or buckets ; the cream will not keep so well and may contract an objectionable metallic flavor. One of the best steps In cleanliness is to whitewash the entire Inside of the cow barn twice each year. ? Clem son College will give formula for a good, cheap whitewash. / ' To test milk for dirt, as soon as it is received place it where it will l>e un disturlKMl for one hour. Then, with out disturbing the contents, lift the bottle until the entire bottom can be 7V>*' examined for sediment. It Is the consumer's duty to flml out whether or not his milk is clean. The dirt in milk is matter unfit for^fmffiftlT consumption and the consumer owes it to himself and his neighlK)?s to de mand good, clean milk. America can learn many lessons In dairying from little Denmark, which can afford to import and feed our grain and still sell its butter In com]>etltlon with oUrs. Tnt ell 1 Rent dairy method# are behind it. Can't Forget It. "Why are you for the allies?" & friend asked a solemn-looking Individ ual who looked as if there had l>cen much suffering In his life. "Is It be cause you abhor Prussian militarism?" "No." a "Is it that you fear Germany's desire t< expand, to absorb foreign lands? Is it that you dislike the Herman char acter?" "No," replied the solemn-looking in* dividual. "Well,- why are yon for the allies?"^ "Because," said the other with h pen sive air. "I once ate some sauerkraut." ?
