WHAT IS PASTEURIZED MILK? 
I have read an article concerning this in 
one agricultural paper, and also had it ex¬ 
plained by a veterinary. One does not 
agree with the other. s. w. w. 
Staten Island. 
The name is from Pasteur, the scien¬ 
tist, who discovered that certain germs 
could be destroyed by certain degrees 
of heat. When milk is boiled or raised 
to 212° F. for a certain time it is said 
to be sterilized—that is, all forms of 
germs are destroyed and the milk is 
sterile—without life. This high tem¬ 
perature not only kills the germs but 
sets up chemical changes which give a 
cooked or boiled flavor to milk. Pas¬ 
teurizing is called a partial sterilizing, 
that is, heating the milk enough to kill 
most of the germs, and yet not enough 
to give the “cooked” taste. Wing 
states that milk can be heated to 165° 
F., and if quickly cooled afterward will 
not show this taste, while it is safe 
from disease germs and will remain 
sweet 36 to 48 hours longer than milk 
not Pasteurized. Such milk must, how¬ 
ever, be cooled quickly to 50° or below. 
THE BROWN SWISS CATTLE. 
Give me your opinion of the Brown Swiss 
cattle as to dairy qu'ality. Are they more 
than ordinary? Would it pay to buy a bull 
of that breed with the expectation of his get 
being a success for milk and butter? My 
cows are good grade Jerseys. I want more 
milk without lessening quality. 
West Virginia. v. s. o. 
While it is true that the Brown Swiss 
are fine cattle, and fair producers of 
milk and butter, their chief advantage 
is their hardiness. It is often claimed 
for them that they can use a large 
amount of roughage, and do not re¬ 
quire as much grain as other breeds. 
This was disproved at the Pan-Ameri¬ 
can Dairy test where there were five 
fine specimens of the breed, and they 
were well handled. They did make a 
good record, consumed as much as, or 
more corn fodder than any other breed, 
and just as much grain, and for net 
production of milk and butter were ex¬ 
celled by the Holsteins, Ayrshires, 
Guernseys, Jerseys, and in flesh by the 
Short-horns. I believe this was a fair 
comparison of the breed as a whole. 
For dairy purposes I should always se¬ 
lect one of the first four breeds men¬ 
tioned. 
Do not expect to gain by crossing. 
If your grade Jerseys have a large 
amount of Jersey blood you will run 
up against one of the great laws of 
breeding; that where you combine two 
strong bloods that have been kept sepa¬ 
rate for generations they are fully as 
liable to produce the poor qualities of 
both as the good qualities of either, and 
seldom get a combination of the good 
qualities of both. I should select a 
Jersey bull that comes from a family 
of large milkers; one of open organiza¬ 
tion, not showing much tendency to high 
butter fat. Nature does not go two ways 
at the same time; high butter fat, less 
milk, and the reverse. You will get 
more milk from the progeny of your 
grade Jerseys and greater uniformity 
by this cross than by trying to get it 
from any out cross. I speak positive¬ 
ly, for I have made a similar mistake. 
All the improvements in our domestic 
animals have come from line, not cross 
breeding. edward van alstyne. 
PASTURING HOGS AND SHEEP. 
I have between 400 and 500 acres of 
mountain land. This land is covered 
with wild grasses; some White clover, 
ferns, and small brush, such as scrub 
oak and small chestnuts growing in 
bunches. It is wild land, but excellent 
for crops of all kinds after clearing. 
Ground is a sandy loam, some clay. 
Would it be practical to place sheep or 
hogs on this land in 10 or 20-acre fields, 
with the idea of clearing them after¬ 
wards? Would either sheep or hogs 
get their own living through the Sum¬ 
mer and then taking them up in Fall to 
feed and fatten for sale late, about De¬ 
cember? My principal wish is to know 
if they would be self-supporting and 
make a good growth on this land during 
the Summer, especially the hogs. r. j. 
Clearfield Co., Pa. 
R. N..-Y.—We submit this question to 
readers who have had experience. We 
think the sheep would make a living, but 
doubt if the hogs would make much if 
any growth on such land. Of course 
there must be a good supply of water. 
We should want to feed the hogs. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee.
