Erie, Pa. 
W. H. 
The Sanitary Dairyman. 
Very early in the morning, 
Tuttle sought the spotted cow, 
And with gloves his hands adorning 
Took the night cap from her brow. 
Roused her from her well bred slumbers. 
Bathed her features-with a sponge, 
To the bathtub made her lumber 
For her early morning plunge. 
Manicured each horn and hooflet. 
Sprayed her breast with listerine. 
Scrubbed her stall from floor to rootlet, 
Till each inch of it was clean. 
Then while her attention centered 
On her predigested bran, 
Reverently Tuttle entered 
"With a silver plated can. 
Into which, by gauze protected 
From bacilli and their ilk, 
Tuttle skillfully projected 
Little streams of purest milk. 
With a microscope he viewed it, 
Slew a microbe here and there. 
Strained it, weighed it, cooled it, stewed it, 
Pasteurized it, too, with care. 
Then in bottles small he hauled it 
To the city, and in short— 
Everywhere that Tuttle sold it 
Cost them 60 cents per quart. 
—Red Lodge (Mont.) Picket. 
This county is a dairying county of some 
consequence. The principal part of the 
county is dotted with creameries with 
numerous skimming stations as feeders. The 
northern and central portions of the county 
have been controlled by the Stephens 
Creamery Co., and the Pennsylvania Cream¬ 
ery Co. Within the last few weeks, how¬ 
ever, the Stephens Creamery Co. has 
bought out the latter. The western part 
of Bradford county has a plant which has 
a contract for furnishing butter for the 
United States Navy. Ulster has the famous 
Borden plant. Besides these there are 
numerous cooperative companies. It is now 
becoming a popular custom for the cream¬ 
ery companies to put a wagon on the road 
and haul the cream for the farmers. 
Nearly every farmer now uses a separator. 
A large percentage of the dairy farmers 
have from one to three silos. The prices 
of dairy products are dropping. Borden’s 
scale of prices is for October $1.95; No¬ 
vember and December following, $1.90; 
January, $1.80; February, $1.70: March, 
$1.60. These prices are per 100 pounds of 
milk. One year ago the same company 
paid $2 per hundred pounds. The creamery 
company in the western part of the county 
perhaps pays somewhat the best prices. 
This company charges three cents per pound 
for making the butter, the patron getting 
the overrun. The other company men¬ 
tioned has paid the average price of 32% 
cents per pound for October. This com¬ 
pany makes the butter for the overrun 
which is equivalent to about 12 per cent 
in milk and 15 per cent in cream. The 
amount of butter fat is determined by the 
Babcock test. r. s. 
Burlington, Pa. 
Cows sell from $30 to $60 per head; 
Spring calves $10 to $15, and yearlings 
$20 to $30: beef cattle five to six cents 
per pound, live weight, dressed eight to 12 
cents per pound; hogs, live five to 5% 
cents, dressed seven to eight cents. Sheep 
$2 to $5 per head : lambs five to six cents 
per pound, live. Butter 28 to 30 cents; 
eggs 32 to 36 cents in the cities named 
below. Milk at station six cents per 
quart for shipment to Meadville or Oil 
City. We are located about midway be¬ 
tween on Erie R. R.; in these plafces it sells 
for eight cents per quart by the milkmen. 
Hay sells at $15 to $20 per ton owing to 
quality. Grain, wheat. $1; oats, 55 to 
60 cents; buckwheat $1.20 per 100; there 
is not enough other grain raised here to 
be worth mentioning. This county (Craw¬ 
ford) is one of the greatest dairy and 
stock raising sections in the country, and 
is full of silos but I have never known 
any silage to be sold, or manure either 
off farms. A lot of manure is hauled from 
the cities which is bought in all sorts of 
ways; by the load (about a ton) they 
usually pay about one dollar. The farms 
here are mostly run by the owners, few 
renters. C. A. L. 
Cochranton, Pa. 
Potatoes are now bringing at station 
about six miles away $1 per bushel; no 
milk shipped from this vicinity. Nearer 
station the Bordens get considerable. The 
creamery near us is paying at present 36 
cents for butter fat. Hay is $16 per ton ; 
buckwheat $1.40 per hundred pounds; oats 
about 54 cents per bushel; hogs 5% to 
5% cents, live weight: very few beef cat¬ 
tle raised. Sheep $4.50 to $5 per head. 
Horses, sound, from $150 to $200. Eggs 
35 and 40 cents per dozen. Very few 
silos; no silage sold. The farmer's are 
getting improved tools; they are sticking 
largely to the way of their fathers, seem 
to think to plow and get in a large acreage 
regardless of the after care is the main 
thing. We have a fine country, land a 
little hard to work, but fine grazing and 
apple land ; also potatoes. I dug potatoes 
a year ago with a few hills that went 
five and six pounds apiece. Very little 
corn raised except sowed corn; they seem 
to think too much trouble to give proper 
cultivation. We need new thrifty blood; 
very little purebred stock; most dairies are 
a mixture of everything in shape of cow. 
I think their average returns are from 
$40 to $60. Two or three men have Jer¬ 
seys ; some Guernseys and a few Holsteins; 
their returns are much larger, one man’s 
$100 per cow. L. B. c. 
Bradford Co., Pa. 
I have never heard of silage being sold 
in this section. Manure costs from 50 
cents to $1 per load in the city. Good 
cows coming fresh in the Spring months 
can be bought for $35 to $50 ; good fresh 
cows, $55 to $60. Milk brings 3% cents, 
3% cents and four cents in the Winter, de- 
If J. C., page 827, who asked for infor¬ 
mation as to lumps on his cows’ knees, 
will so construct his feeding manger that 
the bottom is 18 inches wide and at least 
four inches above the level of stable floor, 
his cows will escape injury to knees and 
will also keep much cleaner while in the 
stable than when they are forced to reach 
for their food. Especially necessary for a 
cow’s comfort is the raised bottom of feed¬ 
ing manger. c. M. w. 
Improving Quality. 
I think that milk should be sold on its 
test per cent of butter fat and buyers 
educated to understand that eight cents 
for four per cent milk is no more costly 
than six cents for three per cent. But 
such reform can only begin where the 
milkman meets his customers more or less 
personally; not in New York. T think if 
I owned a creamery I would furnish sire 
service for my patrons free, plus the privi¬ 
lege to buy the bull calves! These i 
would butcher, and in five years the stand¬ 
ard of bovines would be raised and my 
cream purchases increase with no larger 
territory. How docs that idea strike you? 
J. D. 
Both ideas are good. It is true that 
milk could hardly be sold to advantage on 
its fat test in large markets. In nearby 
towns it could, and dairymen ought to en¬ 
courage the idea. If the customers in 
smaller places form such a habit they will 
in time spread it on to the larger 'cities. 
No question but that good bulls owned 
in this way would make their mark in any 
neighborhood.

HOLSTEIN CATTLE 
Dairymen need strong, healthy cows with vitality 
enough to keep up the work of milk-making for long 
periods and to resist tuberculosis and other bovine 
diseases. To be profitable, they must not be particu¬ 
lar about their food but able to convert large amounts of 
feed into milk. This ideal dairy type you find in the 
Purebred Holstein. If you would like to know what 
the different breeds are doing, we will send you data of 
unquestionable accuracy.
