Dairy Notaa.
Over 300 kinds of bacteria have been
found In milk, cream and butter.
These bacteria can grow little or none
without proper conditions of tempera-
ture. It Is, therefore, obvious that it
is to the advantage of the dairyman
to keep his milk cool. Some bacteria
will get In, but if the temperature of
tha milk is so low that the minute
plants cannot multiply, the ones that
get in will do little harm. This value
of cold is not properly appreciated ex-
cept by creamery operators and the
more advanced dairymen. As a proof
of this we cite the fact that the stor-
ing of Ice Is not by any means univer-
sal among even northern dairymen.
Some are fortunate enough to have
flowing springs where the temperatures
of 68 and 60 degreesareobtalnable. But
temperatures even lower are desirable.
Below BO is now proving to be a very
good temperature at which to ripen
cream. This leads up to the Idea that
the bacteria that give us desirable
flavors are able to live, develop and
multiply under degrees of cold that
will kill other and less desirable bac-
teria. By properly utilizing the prin-
ciples of heat and cold the buttermaker
can produce an article of butter far
superior to the average of that on the
market.
• • •
Reports from all parts of the world
show that the progressive dairyman is
abroad. He is found in widely sep-
arated localities, and in nations that
are antipotal. He is a missionary al-
ways, by his example preaching the
gospel of cleanliness and right meth-
ods. As yet he is not reaping the re-
wards that are due him. At a meeting
of creamery managers in Australia a
dairy Instructor said: "In every dairy-
ing district of Victoria progressive and
up-to-date dairymen aro to be found.
The milk they send to the factories is
all that can be desired, and this to a
conscientious manager is a constant
source of anxiety. He is perforce ex-
pected to treat all alike, and the man
whose cleanly habits and intelligent
methods enable him to supply an ex-
cellent milk reaps no reward; in
marked contrast to those who exhibit
a flagrant disregard for the interests
of his fellow suppliers by neglecting
to benefit by such good examples. In
such cases wo find undisguised hostil-
ity to inspection and a low grade of
milk.’1 The problems to be solved
are thus seen to be about the same
everywhere.

The Finns are determined that Den-
mark shall not hold more of the Eng-
lish butter market than they can help.
The dairymen of Finland have been
copying the Danes in almost every-
thing as to butter, so far as they have
been able. They began to send butter
to England some time ago. and their
shipments have quite steadily in-
creased. They are now copying the
Danes in their manner of fostering the
foreign market Denmark has for
many years kept two agents in the
“island kingdom” to look after Danish
butter in the English market So the
Finnish dairymen have sent an agent
to England. He is to have the double
duty of telling the English consumers
and Importers how good Finnish but-
ter Is and of telling the Finnish dairy-
men what changes they need to make
to please the English consumers and
secure the English market
Sommer Cere of Hor«M,
Suoh spells of hot weather as have
recently been experienced throughout
the country have taught a number of
lessons that will be of the greatest pos-
sible value in meeting similar circum-
stances In the future. The recent
heated term has seen the advent of the
“horse hat,” a hideous straw concep-
tion which has come into vogue in the
large cities, but which apparently has
not found favor in the country. The
idea of providing means of protection
for the heads of horses working during
the hot hours of the day is well enough
but it is very questionable whether the
straw hat fills the bill, so to speak.
The first requisite in such protection
is to shade the head and at the same
time allow a free circulation of air be-
tween the hat and the head. This is
not done by the straw hat. Examina-
tion has disclosed the fact that under
the hat the Bkln is hot and dry; circu-
lation of air has not taken place, hence
many horse-owners have discarded the
new pattern hat and devised other
means of protection. The older form
of protection was better. It consisted
of a shade which did not come into
contact with the head, being on the or-
der of a parasol. The other common
form of shade In the Cities Is a piece
of thick felt, which may be kept satur-
ated with water, but this Is open to the
same objection as the more modern
hat In that it does not allow a free cir-
culation of air. Sponges are still used
to cover the poll. It being thought that
by keeping them wet that they afford
protection and coolness to the head.
This is not the case In most Instances.
They are cool so long aa they are wet
with cold water, but it is quite impos-
sible to keep them cool all
most required and they do not allow
air to play between the head and the
sponge. To sum up then. It baa been
found that s parasol shade Is the best,
gives perfect protection and requires
no work or water. More Important,
however, than the fitting of any kind
of contraption upon the beads of horses
working in the sun is proper manage-
ment and feeding of the horses. With
animals aa with men, cases of heat
prostration do not as a nils occur when
the patient Is In perfect health. Man
becomes overcome with heat when be
is sick from indigestion or has been in
the habit of taking intoxicating liquor
in large quantities. It ba3 also been
found that where people live in unsanl
tary conditions that they are most li-
able to suffer from over-heating. Cer-
tain kinds of food also tend to render
the person eating them susceptible to
sunstroke, hence all doctors advise
that we should eat light bread, abstain
from heavy meals of meat, and drink
plain, coot, bug not Iced drinks during
exceotionallv Rut weather. Turning to
tbs boras ws Hod that in most oass$ of
over-hcatlng tbsre Is some cause apart
from hard work or exposure to the di-
rect rays of the sun. In the large
cities the worst sufferer among tha
horses la the middle horse in the three-
horse team which is used to move vast
loadp of coal. This poor beast la ex-
posed to the sun’s rays and at the same
time to the radiation of heat from the
bodies of the two other hones between
which hi< is sandwiched. This middle
horse Is i common victim during hot
weather. If he does not go down, over-
come with heat, it is only necessary to
look at him when at work to determine
whether hia corn! itlon is a pleasant
one. His looks tell that he is in mis-
ery and invariably he is thin and worn
as compared with his companions In
harness. This form of hitching should
be absolutely forbidden by the Hu-
mane Society whenever a hot spell of
weather strikes the city. On farms the

A correspondent asks how roup af-
fects birds. The principal symptoms
are fever and watery secretions about
the eyes and nose. The fever will not
naturally be noticed unless attention
is called to it by the other symptoms.
In some cases the head swells and the
eyes are closed by the swelling of the
lids. There are at least two distinct
diseases we call roup. One of them is
of a catarrhal nature and occurs in the
winter, spring and late fall. This dis-
ease is successfully doctored, so some
poultry men report. The other occurs
during any part of the year, but is ,
,, : , . ilflt water works tunnel under Lake Erie
often most destructive during the not
weather. In this disease few of the , five more lives were added to the al-

Cannot Operate In KanASfl.
Topeka, Aug. 24.—Bank Commission-
er Morton A1 Laugh lias received a
number of complaints and inquiries
from persons who have made invest-
ments with the Home Co-Operative
Company of Kansas City, Mo., and he
has decided to compel the company to
discontinue its operations in Kansas.
The company has branch ottiees in
Topeka, Wichita, Coffeyville, aud other
Kansas towns.
| Wichita.—The company operating
here declares that it lias no connection
with that of Kansas City.
Another Fatal Explosion.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 24.—As the result
of another explosion of gas in the new
symptoms about the head. In fact
many birds we have seen die from this
kind of roup, indicated It only by a
very high fever and diarrhoea. It Is
a very contagious disease, and can be
fought best by prevention.
Little attention is paid to poultry
farming as a business in the West
This may be largely accounted for by
the fact that prices in Western cities
do not reach the height of those In
eastern cities. The farms of the West
are generally quite freely supplied
with poultry whose keeping costs the
farmer next to nothing, at least In the
summer, when foraging is the rule.
The products of these farms go onto
the markets at a low price, and the
general buying public is satisfied with
the quality enough to buy and use it.
During the entire year dressed poultry
can be purchased In Chicago at from
8 to 13 cents per pound. At this time
(August 3) dressed hens are selling at
retail at 10% cents per pound, and
they are of good quality. Poultry
farming Is Increasing in the West and
there are now hundreds of establish-
ments scattered through Illinois and
adjacent states; but there are near our
big cities no such poultry farms as we
find around the large cities of the East,
where prices for poultry are relatively
high. As an Illustration of this dif-
ference in prices we note that a South
Water street (Chicago) firm reshlps a
very large part of Its game birds to
Philadelphia, because they can pay the
freight to that city and get enough for
their birds to return a handsome profit
over the price they would get In Chi-
cago.
Alleged Froc-es of Frexervlnz Button
In the endeavor to find something
that will save time, be cheap, and neu-
tralize the effect of dirt in the milk,
many milk men are hoping and wish-
ing for a preservative that will be
cheap, chemist proof and sure death to
bacteria—a most Impossible combina-
tion. If every handler of milk would
tack up in the northeast corner of his
memory the fact that any compound
day"when I that will poison bacteria will also poi-
son man, there would he more pure
milk, leas court fines, and a general Im-
provement all around. The following
is an official report on a much lauded
and wonderful compound that waa go-
ing to revolutionize the dairy business,
a few months since:
Consul Freeman. Copenhagen, under
date of April 22, 1901. sayi:
“I am In receipt of so many inquiries
from the United States In regard to the
reported discovery of a new and suc-
cessful proven for preserving butter,
meat, eggs, etc., that I am led to sug-
since work first began on the great
wateeorib.

torney M. T. McCarty was notified that
Governor Stanley had offered a reward
of §250 for the arrest within 9o days
and conviction of the parties who at-
tempted to destroy Liberty school house
August 15. The citizens of the district
will add about §'-'50 more. A numlier
of detectives are at work on the case.
Smasglod Hoods Captured.
Burlington, Vt., Aug. 27.—Thirty-six
bales of imported cloth have arrived in
this city from Richmond, Vt., where It
was seized by Collector Olin Merrill.
Thcs cloth was shipped from Montreal
to Holyoke, Mass., and is valued at
about §30,000, It is subject to nearly
its full value in duties. The cloth was
packed in a car of paper stock which
filled tiio center and the bales of cloth
were placed at the ends where thoy
were less liable to be detested.
Did Not Stop Cultivating.
Lawrence, Kas., Aug. 24.—Mr. Moses
Sauerbaek, living near this city, has
exhibited stalks of corn from his field
which would seem to substantiate his
claim thnt his corn will make fifty
bushels )>er acre.
Mr. Sauerbaek did not stop cultiva-
ting his corn when the drouth began,
and it is to the continued working of
the ground that he attributes bis suc-
cess.
There will be much corn along the
Kaw valley despite the drouth.
Aaeleat Mine Discovered.
El I’aso, Tex., Aug. 27.—Considera-
