Raising  the  Milk  Standard 
TITR  Department  of  Health  of 
York  City  intends  very  shortly 
f  to  enforee  an  order  which  will  not 
(ft  '  r  permit  milk  to  be  sold’  in  New  York 
jK  A, City  which  contains  less  than  8.5% 
of  solids  not  fat.  The  inllk  com¬ 
panies  supplying  New  York  City  have  been 
bringing  tli in  rule  to  tin*  notice  of  milk  rais¬ 
ers,  ami  they  hart*  been  pointing  out  to  them 
the  supreme  importance  of  taking  such  steps 
In  improve  the  quality  of  their  herds  as  will 
insure  flint  the  average  solids  not  fat  will 
meet  the  requirements  of  the  Department. 
There  is  only  one  way  by  which  this  can  be 
accomplished,  atnl  that  is  by  using  cows 
whose  milk  will  test  higher  than  the  average 
of  the  animals  now  being  kept.  The  breeds  of 
mtleli  cows  whose  milk  tests  high  in  batter- 
fat  test  correspondingly  high  in  solids  not 
fat.  The  average  percentage  of  fat  in  the 
milk  of  Jersey  cows  has  been  shown  by  the 
records  of  4.207  cows,  tested  for  one  year  un¬ 
der  the  authority  of  the  State  agricultural 
experiment  stations,  tn  be  a. 34.  in  a  table 
issued  by  the  United  States  Bureau  of  Animal 
Industry  tile  com  post  t  ton  of  Jersey  milk  is 
given  as  9.1(1%  solids  not  fat,  and  4. 1171(1 
fat.  milking  14.11%  total  solids,  xh . impo¬ 
sition  of  Holstein  milk  is  gi\en  as  js. l;T • 
Solids  tmt  lat  and  3.08%  fat,  making  11.83% 
total  solids. 
The  action  taken  by  the  New  York  Health  De¬ 
partment  is  solely  in  the  interests  of  the  con¬ 
sumers  of  milk.  The  eonsmniuK  public  is  becom¬ 
ing  very  much  alive  to  the  comparative  nutritive 
values  of  llio  different  grades  or  milk.  The  pru¬ 
dent  farmer  or  dairyman  mil  act  accordingly  in 
the  selection  of  his  herd.  Others  will  be  com¬ 
pelled  to  follow  suit,  or  be  forced  out  of  busi¬ 
ness;  for  the  movement  for  better  milk,  nr  for 
the  grading  and  pricing  of  milk  on  us  real  food 
value,  is  spreading  from  city  to  city  all  over  the 
lend, 
A  word  to  the  wise  is  sufficient.

Prize-winning  Hereford  at  San  Francisco 
tfip  station,  is  nearly  as  badly  off.  As  it 
strikes  me  it  is  those  small  farmers  who 
are  the  hardest  hit  by  the  middleman,  as 
they  produce  on  s<>  small  a  scale  that 
he  buys  at  any  price  that  suits  him. 
while  the  larger  producer  gets  bis  price. 
Should  the  farmers  of  New  England  al¬ 
low  this  to  go  on  without  trying  to  better 
themselves?  In  the  next  article  T  will 
try  to  show  why  we  believe  the  Here¬ 
ford  the  best  animal  for  New  England 
beef  raising. 
Matter  op  Duck. — Some  people  have 
what  they  call  luck,  while  others  will  not 
admit  that  there  is  any  such  thing.  But 
be  this  as  it  may,  luck  or  some  unseen 
force  was  the  original  factor  in  our 
choice  of  the  Hereford.  To  say  that  we 
lmve  ever  been  sorry  for  this  choice  is 
needless,  as  we  have  grown  more  and 
more  enthusiastic  over  the  “white  faces" 
every  year  since  we  have  owned  them, 
and  while  at  first  we  did  not  realize  our 
every  year,  due  to  the  greater  amount  of 
scientific  labor  required  to  produce  the 
best  product,  work  in  which  the  average 
farm  laborer  has  not  been  trained. 
Again,  since  so  many  new  avenues  have 
been  open  to  him,  he  is  loath 
to  return  to  the  drudgery  of  milk¬ 
ing  nml  long  hours.  Let  me  quote  from 
the  Farmers’  Bulletin  No.  584  of  the 
United  States  Department  of  Agricul¬ 
ture.  It  says  “The  money  wages  of  farm 
labor  increased  2.5%  during  the  past 
year  and  about  11%  during  the  past  four 
years.  Since  1002  the  increase  has  been 
about  36  G .“  These  estimates  are  based 
mam  reports  of  correspondents  of  the 
Bureau  of  Statistics  of  the  Department 
of  Agriculture.  This  is  simply  showing 
in  actual  figures  wliat  nearly  every  farm¬ 
er  in  New  England  has  felt  through  ex¬ 
perience.  These  increased  wages  coupled 
with  decreasing  efficiency  have  made  the 
life  of  the  dairy  farmer  rather  uncer¬ 
tain. 
Tiie  Dairyman’s  Ton,.  —  Another 
question  which  1  wish  to  ask  is  this : 
“What  docs  it  profit  a  man  if  he  slaves 
865  days  a -year  at  his  work,  and  never 
has  the  time  to  enjoy  the  fruits  of  his 
labors?”  Many  will  say  that  they  will 
sometime,  but  it  is  very  seldom  that  this 
sometime  ever  comes.  When  a  man  runs 
a  dairy  he  simply  has  to  be  tied  down  all 
the  time,  unless  he  has  one  large  enough 
to  hire  an  efficient  manager,  something 
that  but  few  have.  This  is  a  condition 
that  we  know  from  experience,  as  we 
ran  a  dairy  until  about  eight  years  ago 
and  to  take  a  day  off  at  that  time  was  1o 
run  a  big  risk  of  something  going  wrong, 
while  now  it  is  simply  something  to  be 
decided  upon  as  if  we  were  running  any 
other  business.  We  can  go  as  we  please, 
as  during  the  Summer  the  cattle  require 
no  care  whatever,  and  the  fields  will  not 
spoil  or  he  taken  sick  if  they  are  left 
alone  a  day. 
Changing  to  Beef. — As  for  changing 
from  dairying  to  beef  raising  it  cun  bo 
done,  and  at  a  profit,  as  we  did  it  our¬ 
selves  and  have  had  that  experience. 
Nine  years  ago  we  were  absolutely  green 
at  the  beef  business,  and  could  think  only 
in  the  terms  of  dairying,  hut  in  this 
short  time  we  have  completely  changed 
from  the  dairy  to  the  beef  cattle,  and 
have  made  these  same  beef  cattle  pay 
all  of  the  hills  as  we  went  along.  Does 
it  not  seem  to  you  that  many  could  raise 
beef  profitably  in  New  England?  It: 
seems  to  me  there  are  those  three  classes 
who  would  ho  benefited  by  the  change, 
and  who  could  make  the  change  at  no 
great  expense  to  themselves  or  to  the 
dairy  business  in  general,  which  must  he
