Milk 
Prices paid producers by New York 
wholesalers range from 3% to four cents, 
net, for Class B pasteurized milk. Res¬ 
taurants using two to five cans per day 
are now paying jobbers 5*4 to six cents 
per quart. 
Medical Milk Commissions. 
The Bureau of Animal Industry has 
issued a bulletin on Medical Milk Com¬ 
missions and Certified Milk. The word 
“certified” lias been registered in the U. 
S. Patent Office and may only be used 
by a duly organized medical milk com¬ 
mission. The first milk commission was 
organized in 1893. Since that time over 
60 have been established but nearly one- 
third of that number are inactive at 
present. About 125 dairies are produc¬ 
ing certified milk, the daily production 
being nearly 25,000 gallons. About one- 
half of one per cent of the total milk 
supply of the country is certified. While 
the chief demand for certified milk is for 
infants and sick people, it further serves 
to teach the public the value of careful 
methods in milk production and the ex¬ 
tra cost of absolutely clean milk. 
Pasteurizing Goat’s Milk. 
The Bureau of Animal Industry has 
learned that the transmission of a fever 
known variously as “Malta,” “moun¬ 
tain,” “slow typhoid” to man is accom¬ 
plished by the milk of infected goats. 
Observation in Texas and New Mexico 
shows that the disease has always made 
its appearance among people connected 
with goat raising. Entire families have 
been taken sick with it on goat ranches. 
The sickness appears usually after the 
kidding season, during the months of 
April, May and June, when the people 
are in closer contact with the goats. It 
seems evident that the Malta fever has 
existed in Texas and New Mexico for at 
least 25 years. Pasteurization of infect¬ 
ed milk for 20 minutes at 145 degrees F. 
is sufficient to destroy the organism which 
transmits the disease. Therefore, milk 
pasteurized for the destruction of ty¬ 
phoid and tuberculosis germs will also be 
free from the Malta fever germs. The 
most striking symptom is an attack of 
fever with periods of normal tempera¬ 
tures. The fever may be remittent or 
intermittent; it may be continuously 
high or low, and at all stages of the dis¬ 
ease the type of the fever may change. 
The course of the disease may extend for 
from six weeks up to a year and cases 
have even been observed in which relapses 
have occurred for three years. In hu¬ 
man beings tin' mortality is estimated at 
three per cent. In animals the course of 
the disease always appears to be pro¬ 
tracted. Cases have been noted in goats 
that extended over a period of more than 
a year. 
NORTHERN WISCONSIN BULL CLUBS. 
The bull club idea has been developed 
at Ashland, Wis., to meet a condition 
growing out of the dairy program inau¬ 
gurated in this community something over 
a year ago. With the importation of 
several carloads of foundation stock by 
the commercial club, came the necessity 
of providing registered sires. The Guern¬ 
sey admirers undertook the organization 
of Guernsey breeders’ clubs, pledged to 
raise their heifer calves and breed only to 
the club sires. The town of Barksdale 
was the first to form a bull club under the 
more pretentious name of the Barksdale 
Guernsey Breeders’ Association. About 
25 farmers paid into the treasury an an¬ 
nual fee of one dollar each for member¬ 
ship. These membership fees were then 
turned over to the Ashland Guernsey Cat¬ 
tle Club as an insurance fund on the life 
of a registered Guernsey si go, which was 
purchased by the Ashland club and leased 
for a term of two years to the Barksdale 
club. An imported animal was then 
placed in the care of a member of the 
Barksdale club, who retains one-half the 
fees for the service of the animal and tin; 
remaining half is turned over to the Ash¬ 
land club. Service fees to the members 
are fixed at $1.50 and to non-members $2. 
At the end of two years the Ashland club 
is pledged to exchange the sire for that 
of another town club. 
The plan thus far has worked out ad¬ 
mirably. The Ashland club has already 
received in fees sufficient to repay a large 
portion of the original investment. The 
small farmers of the town clubs have had 
the services of a valuable sire without 
making large investment, and are assured 
new blood at the end of two years for the 
new heifers. As a business proposition 
the plan promises to pay (he Ashland pro¬ 
moters a good dividend. More than this, 
the town organizations have become the 
nuclei of breeding clubs which will stick 
to one strain of dairy cattle and encour¬ 
age community pride in better live stock. 
Through the influence of this small co¬ 
operative effort in the town of Barksdale, 
more real progress in dairying has been 
made in the past six months than in years 
before. The commercial club of Ashland 
recently made a dairy survey of the sur¬ 
rounding towns, and by tabulating the re¬ 
sults of a postal card vote, were able to 
learu the preference as to dairy breeds, 
and to locate well-defined breeding com¬ 
munities which will concentrate their ef¬ 
forts upon either the Guernsey or Hol¬ 
stein. 1 C. A. UEERE. 
Paint 
It doesn’t pay to pul off painting. Bare or poorly covered 
wood is sure to decay. That means repairing or rebuild¬ 
ing. Lumber and carpenter hire are expensive. Every 
dollar you put into painting with good paint, saves $100 later 
on—to say nothing of the pride you’ll take in the better appear- 
ance of your place and its actual increase in value. ^ 
maMm

because of the better quality put into 
it. We know the exact value of every
