The great advantage in pasteurizing market milk ia to insure its freedom from disease producing organisms. This Is a point which ia constantly brought forward In favor of pasteuriza tion of milk. Of course the pasteurized milk will havo better keeping quali ties than the same milk that has not been pasteurized and of course this la an advantage from the standpoint of the milk dealer, and la also an ad vantage to the milk consumer. Outside the cost of the process, there are practically no disadvantages connected with the pasteurization of milk. This is especially true with the way pasteurization is conducted today. There Is absolutely no doubt but that milk properly pasteurized and prop rrlr handled subsequent thereto Is Just as healthful a food for children as well as for adults us Is raw milk. Most of the commercial pasteuriza tion of market milk at the present time is done by heating the milk to 145 degrees for approximately thirty minutes. This temperature and time of exposure does not change the milk physically or chemically to any appre ciable extent. If milk is heated to frigher temperatures or for longer pe riods of time, the creaming powers of the milk will be Influenced that is, the heated milk will cream less rapid ly and somewhat less completely than the raw milk. The milk will also ac quire, which is objectionable to many people, what is known as the cooked trfste. It Is not probable that the nu tritive value of the milk is Injured; In fact, at the present time many phy sicians advocate the heating of chil dren's milk to the boiling point.

We Make a Speciality of Handling Sandhill Cattle Cox-Jones-Van Alstine Company Live Stock Commission Merchants IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY COW facst Economical Producer of Human Food of All Domestic Anlmals-p-She le Here to Stay. (By N. J. FRASER. Illinois.) Since the cow la the most econom ical producer of human food of all our domestic animals, and aa ahe can live and produce milk on a ration com posed entirely of roughage, ahe will kw the animal that will be resorted to In order to convert half of the energy of onr common crops, which Is other wise unavailable. Into human food. Another reason why the cow la here to stay, and will always be of vital importance In sustaining human life, is that babies and Invalids cannot be nourished on cornmeal mush alone. For these reasons, even after the tiane comes that there Is an actual struggle for human food, the dairy caw will still be a vital and abiding Cactor In a eystem of permanent agrl- iltore. if we are to retain a high : z z To t Y ? ? ? ? ? y ?

A good deal of corn Is put Into th silo every year before it Is properly matured. This year this Is partlcu arly true. Early frost, or fear of be ing overtaken by it has Induce! many farmers to cut tneir corn wniM t had little but stalks, the ears bein quite undeveloped. This often make add silage and cows do not do as wel! n it as they would on well-matureil corn. Where a man has to feed this kln-l of ensilage he oupht to be careful nor. to give too much at a feeding. A small ration of this tender corn will be eaten with great relish, there bein practically no waste. To balance the ration and furnish a satisfying meal there should be as much hay given aa the. cows will eat up clean, not at th same timo as the ensilage Is fed, but at another time of day. Then, too some ground feed will go very well to supplement still further the unbal anced ration provided In the corn. This should not be especially laxa tive in its nature; the cows are get ting laxative food enough in the en silage. Cornmeal seems a good feed, or ground oata make a rich ration. Such a plan of feeding ought to keep the cows in good physical condition and enable them to do good work In the dairy. FEEDING CALVES SOUR MILK Experiment of Department of Agricul ture Shows Scours Are Due to Uncleanly Conditions. By recent experiment the depart ment of agriculture seems to show that scours are not due to sour milk but to uncleanly conditions. If the milk is not allowed to stand for any great length of time and not allowed to become unclean it is as nourishing to the young calf as sweet skim milk and as rapid gains were made in on case as in the other. It was further shown that sudden changes from sweet to sour and from sour to sweet made no apparent change in the calf, although the calf was only a few days old. It was found by experiment, however, that sour milk does not prove so favorably in winter as In summer. ' GUERNSEYS GIVE MOST MILK Average Butterfat Test Will Not Range as High as JerseysThere Is No Best Breed. It is quite probable that Guernsey will average a little larger in milk production than Jerseys but their av erage fat test will not range quite a high. As to which breed produce the most butterfat, that Is a contea- ATTENTION! Sand Hill Cattle Men It pays to do business with a Commission Firm that is in a position to help you.

Considerable proof ca'n be adduced by both sides, but in the final analysis the question resolves itself into a choice of Individuals within the breed and their development, due consider tion being given to the buyer's per sonal preferences and opportunities of purchase of good individuals. We would hesitate to dispose of a good producing herd of one breed and replace It with another without giving the matter most careful thought. The disposition of the milk, the prices the surplus animals will bring, and the cost of making the change should ho fully considered. RECORD KEEPING PAYS WELL everything Must Be Determined In Light of Scales, Babcock Test and Cost of Production. Before the results of modern herd records were known, dairy cattle were admitted to the herd books, and bought and sold, chiefly on their out ward appearances. There was no standard by which to determine the relation of form to production. A nice-looking cow was the one which brought the most money. What con stituted such a cow was largely a mat ter of opinion or prejudice. With the Introduction of herd rec ords opinions came to be valued in direct proportion to one's understand Ing of the relation of form to produc tion. K very thing must be di'terni .
