Bitter Cream 
I have a cow that is in poor condition, 
although she has good grass and eight 
quarts of ground oats and all the oat hay 
she will eat. She gives about 20 lbs. of 
milk a day, but the cream is bitter. Her 
eyes have a yellow discharge, w. A. M. 
New York. 
In general there are two possible causes 
for bitterness in milk and cream. If the 
milk tastes bitter immediately after it is 
drawn from the cow, it is in all probabil¬ 
ity due to some feed that she is getting; 
however, if the bitterness is only notice¬ 
able in the cream after it has risen on the 
milk and has set for some time, it would 
indicate that it was caused by the growth 
of a peculiar bacteria that get into milk 
when it is not handled under very clean 
condition, particularly in the stable. 
H. F. J. 
Dairy Ration; Weight of Hogs 
1. What grains would you mix, besides 
hay without clover, and what amount 
would you feed a Jersey-Guernsey cow 
for the Winter? 2. Is there a difference 
in weight of right or left side of hogs? 
New York. G. F. w. 
1. For a grain ration, I would mix up 
three parts, by weight, of wheat bran, 1 
lb. gluten fed, 1 lb. cottonseed meal and 
% lb. linseed oilmeal, with 1 lb. of salt to 
each 100 lbs. of grain mixture. You will 
need to feed about 1 lb. of this for each 
lVa to 2 qts. of milk produced daily by 
your cow. 
2. There certainly should be no differ¬ 
ence in the weight of the right and left 
side of a hog if it is cut in the middle.
