The  Papers  Must  Fit 
At  the.  meeting  of  the  board  of  officers 
of  the  Holstein-Friesian  Association,  held 
at  Worcester,  Mass.,  on  October  16th,  the 
following  resolution  was  adopted. 
“’Resolved,  that  the  committee  on  prizes 
be  instructed  to  advise  the  officers  of  all 
fairs  where  the  IIolstein-Friesian  Asso¬ 
ciation  appropriates  monies  for  prizes, 
that  this  association  will  pay  no  money 
for  prizes  except  for  animals  shown 
wherein  the  certificate  of  registry  estab¬ 
lishing  the  identity  and  transfers  showing 
the  ownership  have  been  presented  and 
proven  at  the  time  of  Showing  the  ani¬ 
mal.”  F.  L.  HOUGHTON',  Sec’y. 
R.  N.-Y. — This  is  right  in  line  with  the 
new  idea  regarding  all  fair  exhibits. 
When  we  come  to  think  what  these  ex¬ 
proposition.  and  should  be  put  on  a 
sound  business  basis.  “The  late  milk 
strike  has  not  solved  all  our  problems* 
Ret  us  make  milk  worth  the  price  re¬ 
ceived, — cleaner  and  better  every  way. 
Your  organization  should  go  on  with  the 
good  work  done  and  safeguard  further 
troubles  by  providing  plants  to  take  care 
of  surplus  milk.” 
Commissioner  of  Agriculture  Wilson’s 
text  was  some  lessons  learned  from  the 
late  National  Dairy  Show.  He  said  one 
effect  is  that  the  whole  policy  of  the 
Fast,  will  be  changed,  that  New  York 
State  was  not  adequately  represented 
and  so  lost  its  advertising  value.  The 
success  of  some  Western  States  is  due 
to  the  publicity  they  have  given  their 
products  by  such  advertising.  Other 
States  are  displacing  our  products. 
Western  States  are  selling  fruit  in 
Rochester  in  the  greatest  fruit  producing

honesty  in  awarding  prizes  we  can  see 
that  all  must  fall  into  line. 
Cows  on  Cement  Floor 
Is  a  cement  floor  best  for  cows?  I  am 
compelled  to  get  a  cement  floor,  and  I 
have  heai'd  of  cows  freezing  their  udders 
and  breaking  their  legs  on  the  cement 
floors.  What  kind  of  a  floor  do  you 
think  is  best?  E.  M. 
West  Farmington,  O. 
The  fact  that  concrete  floors  are  in 
universal  use  in  cow  stables  would  seem 
to  be  sufficient  evidence  that  they  are 
satisfactory.  If  cows  are  well  bedded  on 
them  they  appear  to  be  comfortable,  and 
there  is  no  reason  why  they  should  suffer 
more  accidents  to  udders  or  limbs  than 
on  other  floors.  At  the  same  time,  there 
is  no  doubt  that  concrete  floors  are  colder 
than  those  of  wood,  cork  bricks  or  some 
one  of  the  other  prepared  flooring  mate¬ 
rials.  and  it  is  an  easy  matter  to  use 
planks  on  a  concrete  foundation  if  one 
prefers,  or  to  purchase  the  cork  bricks  or 
prepared  blocks  if  the  gi eater  expense  is 
not  prohibitive.  It  is  a  matter  of  per¬ 
sonal  choice  and  pocketboolc  rather  than 
suitability  of  different  materials,  m,  b.  d. 
A  Good  Pennsylvania  Cow 
The  picture  on  first  page  shows  a  Hol¬ 
stein  cow  owned  by  .T.  W.  Mock,  of  Le¬ 
high  County,  Pa.  This  cow  has  a  record 
of  52  pounds  at  a  single  milking,  07 
pounds  in  a  day,  660  pounds  in  seven 
days,  and  2.883  pounds  in  the  mouth  of 
March.  .She  is  not  a  registered  cow,  hut 
certainly  makes  up  in  performance  for 
any  lack  of  pedigree. 
New  York  State  Dairymen’s  Association 
Part  I. 
The  40th  annual  meeting  was  held  at 
Syracuse,  Nov.  14-16,  1016.  The  ex¬ 
hibits  were  educational,  including  all  the 
modern  machinery;  and  dairy  supplies, 
and  a  large  display  of  high  scoring  but¬ 
ler  and  cheese. 
President  Dana  spoke  of  the  innova¬ 
tion  of  the  Dairymen’s  Association  in 
holding  Summer  field  meetings  on  farms, 
generally  under  the  direction  of  farm  bu» 
veau  agents.  Two  were  held  in  the  State 
last:  Summer  and  were  successful.  He 
said  the  majority  of  the  dairymen  of  the 
State  are  not  prosperous,  or  even  mak¬ 
ing  a  comfortable  living.  The  produc¬ 
tion  and  marketing  of  milk  is  a  financial 
making  the  merits  of  the  product  widely 
known.  He  said  the  consumer  will  not 
pay  the  high  price  of  milk  but  will  buy 
substitutes  unless  lie  knows  the  food 
value  of  milk.  Can  we  not  have  a  book 
giving  the  comparative  value  of  milk  and 
other  foods  and  receipts  for  using  milk 
that  will  have  free  distribution  all  over 
the  State?  Start  people  thinking  and 
talking  about,  milk  as  food.  In  such  a 
publicity  campaign  wo  can  Lave  the  co¬ 
operation  of  the  schools,  and  dairymen's 
organizations.  We  should  make  the  New 
York  products  as  good  as  there  are,  and 
let  the  consumer  know  about  it. 
Dr.  .1.  It.  Kellogg  spoke  on  “Milk  as  a 
Food  for  Everybody.”  ".Milk,”  lie  said, 
“is  a  complete  and  perfect  food,  contain¬ 
ing  everything  needed  to  nourish  the 
body.  Tins  is  not  true  of  any  other  food. 
Milk,  unlike  oilier  food  .is  particularly 
rich  in  lime,  so  it  contains  food  for  the 
bones  as  well  as  the  muscles  and  is  the 
best  growing  food  known.  This  does  not 
apply  to  doped  or  pasteurized  milk.  Nor¬ 
mal  milk  is  a  live  food.  Freshly  drawn 
milk,  live,  and  not  pasteurized,  con¬ 
tains  the  same  valuable  properties  as 
blood.  Rats  fed  on  boiled  milk  grow  to 
only  half  their  normal  size.  Wo  only 
get  the  wonderful  qualities  of  milk  when 
we  get  it  fresh  from  the  cow,  not 
changed  or  modified  by  man.  There  is 
no  artificial  or  modified  product  like  it, 
or  that  can  possibly  take  its  place.  Dis¬ 
eases  may  enter  the  body  through  unclean 
milk  as  a  vehicle.  The  only  way  to 
produce  safe  wholesome  milk  is  to  keep 
dirt  and  disease  producing  germs  out  of 
the  milk  by  sanitary  methods  in  tile  sta¬ 
ble  and  in  handling  milk.  Do  not  allow 
bad  Forms  to  get  in  the  milk  and  tlieu  de¬ 
stroy  them  by  pasteurization.  Roiled 
milk  can  never  take  the  place  of  dean 
milk,  and  carries  with  it  evils  almost  as 
great  as  the  diseases  it  may  prevent. 
Milk  should  be  eaten,  he.,  sipped  very 
slowly,  with  a  sucking  motion.  A  large 
amount  is  often  more  easily  taken  than 
small  quantities,  so  if  milk  does  not  di¬ 
gest  well,  the  remedy  may  be  to  take 
more  milk  and  take  it  more  slowly, 
“Vegetables  and  fruits  should  be  eaten 
with  milk  by  adults  to  overcome  a  ten¬ 
dency  to  constipation,  and  make  bulk  for 
the  digestive  organs.  Artificial  feeding 
of  infants,  instead  of  pure  unmoditiefid 
milk,  is  producing  great  mortality.  It  is 
never  necessary  to  add  anything  to  cows’ 
milk  except  malt,  sugar  and  water.  Milk 
is  medicinal  in  many  cases.  Flesh  eau 
1  '•  out  on  rapidly  by  the  liberal  use  of 
natural  milk.  It  will  build  up  the  sys¬ 
tem  sometimes  when  other  foods  fail  to. 
Lactei  acid  in  the  milk  and  buttermilk 
is  curative  and  beneficial.  We  are  in 
danger  of  lime  starvation,  especially  with 
children.  Most  food,  now  eaten,  con¬ 
tains  less  than  one-third  of  the  lime 
needed  by  the  teeth  and  bones.” 
I'rof.  F.  (L  Kraege,  of  Fort  Atkinson, 
Wis.,  spoke  on  ‘‘Farm  Buildings.”  The 
type  of  farming  carried  on  will  determine
