REASONS FOR SOURING MILK.
Lactic Acid Bacteria Cause Milk to
Sour; Introduced Into Fluid In
Various Ways.
Many of tho lowor plants find sugar
a suitable food. In making use of this
food, the sugar Is chemically changed
and In Its place wo find many
new chemical compounds differ
ing wldoly from tho sugar from
which they originated. Somo bac
teria In this process form various
kinds of acids and gases. Among
these Is a largo group of closely re
lated bacteria which cause tho souring
of milk by breaking up tho milk sugar
Into lactic acid. On account of this
.peculiarity they are commonly called
tho lactic acid bacteria. Typical lactic
acid bacteria do not form gas. They
do not have spores and therefore are
destroyed nt a comparatively low tem
Ipeiaturo. They aro extremely widely
distributed, and it Is only under excep
tional conditions that milk Is obtained
entirely free from them. They sel
dom or never occur In tho udder it
self, but probably aro introduced Into
Typical Lactic Acid Bacteria.
the milk with tho hair, bits of feces,
and dust that fall Into the milk in
tho barn.
Milk is an excellent medium for tho
growth of lactic acid bacteria, and un
der favorable temperature conditions
they multiply with astonishing rapid
ity. The acidity of the milk Is so close
ly connected with tho life processes of
this group of bacteria that It may be
taken as a tough measure of their de
velopment. Tho acid, as fast as it Is
formed, unites chemically with the
casein, which exists as very flue par
ticles suspended In the milk serum.
When tho acid reaches a certain per
cent, the acid casein is precipitated
and tho milk is said to have "curdled"
of "clabbered." This result may be
hastened by heating. If milk or cream
that ih slightly sour is added to hot
coffee, or Is otherwise heated, it cur
dles. Milk which has undergone a strict
ly lactic acid fermentation has a firm
curd, free from gas bubbles and with
a small amount of whey on tho sur
face. When shaken the curd breaks
up into small particles which settle
slowly, leaving a clear whoy. The milk
fahould have a pleasant acid tabte. So
far as is known, none of tho products
of the bacteria of this group Is of a
poisonous nature.
Some of the bacteria commonly
classed with lactic acid bacteria form
acids other than lactic, together with
large quantities of gas. Milk curdled
by bacteria of this class shows gas
bubbles and has a dlsagreeablo taste.
Tho lactic acid bacteria not only are
able to grow in an acid medium, but to
a certain point tho acid is a favorable
influence. Many bacteria, however,
find the itc.ld detrimental to their de
velopment and aro not ablo to grow
long in milk in competition with lac
tic acid bacteria. When the milk be
gins to taste sour the growth of nearly
all' nonacld-formlng bacteria Is
checked. The activity of the lactic
acid bacteria themselves is checked
and finally ceases entirely when the
acid reaches a certain concentration,
which varies with difforent varieties.
Consequently sour milk usually con
tains a nearly pure culture of ono or
at most two or threo closely related
varieties of bacteria.
While the lactic acid bacteria are
considered very beneficial In butter
and cheese making, thoy aro undeslr
ablo bacteria from the standpoint
of the milk dealer or consumer. It
is almost out of tho question absolute
ly to prevent their presence In milk,
but the initial number may bo much
reduced by observing a few simple
rules of cleanliness in handling tho
milk. Every precaution which re
duces tho amount of dirt in milk re
duces tho number of bacteria corre
spondingly. Tho Important factors hero
aro freedom from dust at time of milk
ing, brushing the cows, wiping tho ud
ders, and small-mouthed milk palls.
It is also of great importance to cool
tho milk as soon as posslblo aftor
milking to bolow tho tomporaturo at
which lactic acid bacteria grow rapid
ly. This temperature is controlled by
practical conditions, such as tho torn
peraturo of tho wator available for
cooling, but It should not bo higher
than SO degrees Fahrenheit.
Breeding geese must not bo fat.
They should have corn in limited
quantities only during cold weather,
and then nt night. Oats steeped in
warm water makes a better feed, it
should bo fed in V-shaped troughs.
Plenty or vegetable food, such as cab
bage, boiled potatoes and clover,
should be supplied until the grass
begins to grow and tho birds go to

KEEPING PROFITABLE COWS,
Many Kept In Iowa That Do
Pay for Their Feed and
Caro.
Not
A dairy authority in Iowa asserts
Hint there arc hundreds and hundreds
of cows kept for dairy purposes in
Iowa which do not yield sufficient to
pay for tho feed which they consume,
for thoy consume as much feed ns do
the profitable ones and require as
much time nnd caro In milking.
There was a tlmo when tho dairy
cow was not expected to milk for nioro
than six months In tho year, hut with
tho present high prices for labor and
feed this condition of affairs can no
longer profitably exist.
Tho lactation period should bo at
least nine months In length. Tho
amount of milk a cow should produce
to be profitable is variously stated at
from 5,000 to C.000 pounds annually,
or sufflclent to yield from 200 to 240
pounds of butter fat. This should
vary, of course, with the locality, price
of labor, feed, etc. However, it Is
safe to say that a cow with reasonably
good care, that does not produce tho
lesser of these amounts is not a profit
able animal. Yet how large a percent
age of so-called dairy cows will stand
this test?
In order to determine accurately n
cow's usefulness as a dairy animal it
Is well to weigh one day's milk every
week or ten days during the lactation
period. At the same time a sample
should bo taken for testing. The tlmo
of freshening should also be noted In
order to determine the length of tho
lactation period.
The same authority asserts that It is
a good plan to keep a book account
with each cow, charging her with cost
of feed cousumedand labor expended,
and credit her with value of milk and
calf. In this way It will not bo dim
cult to pick out the non-paying In
dividuals. DAIRY NOTES.
Hollow concrete blocks make an
Ideal silo that will not crack or the
contents easily fieeze. Machines for
making silo concrete blocks may bo
purchased for about ?20.
With tho exception of where the
very best cedar Is used, all wooden
silos should often be painted inside
and out in order to preserve the wood
and to prevent leaking. For paint
for this purpose, coal tar is about
as good as any kind. It serves well
for filling cracks and Is also a good
preservative.
The question of the one purpose and
the dual purpose dairy cow has almost
ceased to be discussed by rational
dairymen. "The difference between
the dual purpose dairy cow and the
dairy cow," says W. D. Hoard of Wis
consin, "is just the difference between
a machine that is made for its pur
pose and one that Is not. What would
you think or a man who would go
out to cut grass with a sewing ma
chine?" When every dairyman comes to own
his own farm and comes to under
stand the most economical use of
skimmed milk and manure, dairying
will become a profitable Industry.
The skimmed milk and manure com
bined may bo made to represent as
much as the butter fat of the dairy.
It Is better to build two or three
silos of narrow diameter than one of
wide diameter. When sllnge Is used
for summer feeding it will keep bet
ter with small top surface exposed.
The power of production In a cow
is inherited. If the cow is a good
dairy animal by inheritance and is
given good care and feed she will be
come more productive as she Increases
in age. The quantity rather than the
quality of her milk Is influenced by
feed.
Partial Cow Ration.
No one should attempt to run a
steam engine that was driving a mod
ern threshing outfit with but 30 pounds
of eteam. Yet many dairymen at
tempt to get profitable results from
their cows by feeding them a partial
ration. They attempt to run them with
but "30 pounds or steam." Chemists
tell us that two-thirds of what a cow
consumes goes to maintain her body.
Tho remainder goes toward milk pro
duction. It is evident to all that tho profit
must come from tho feed over and
above that which tho cow requires for
maintenance, and that the more she
eats tho greater will be tho profit.
There are many good cows in tho
country that aro not rocognized as such,
and cannot bo made profitable unless
they receive more feed. Thero Is no
profitin feeding partial rations to milch
cows. Wo cannot get profitable re
sults running cows on "30 pounds of
steam." If there is a food shortage,
ono might bettor feed full rations to
half tho number rather thun feod tho
many on half rations. In the latter
caso there will bo much ' work and
llttlo profit, in tho formor, tho cows
ure sure to give profitable returns,
and tho labor of caring for tho herd
would bo much lessened. Milk Re
porter. Milk from Either Side.
Cows aro always milked from the off
or rlgHt side because thoy have been
taught that way. A cow can bo milked
from clthor side ir she Is brought up
right, but the lessons must begin at
the earliest handling of tho heifer.
Milk first from ono side and then tho
other, and In a short tlmo tho holfor
will not mind. It often comes handy
to milk from the loft Bldo and tho cows
should be trained to stand for It.
The roan who will make a pot of his
cow will have no trouble and will get
greater benefit at milking tlmo than
tho ono who treats her &n a stranger,
If not an enemy.

WOMAN'S REALLY BRIGHT IDEA
Scrap Book Designed Originally for
Doctor's Waiting Room Make3
Acceptable Present.
The wife of a physician devised a
way by which tedious waits in her
husband's outer office were made
much moro bearable. She provided
herself with several medium-sized
scrap books, not too bulky to handle
easily. In these she pasted short
stories, old and new, that in the
course of wldo reading she had cut
from magazines.
The stories were arranged under
different headings, as telephone, de
tective, problem, love, dialect. In this
way one could easily find tho kind of
literature that was liked.
There was a special book or two for
children, filled with pictures, funny
rhymes, and fairly tales that kept
many a small patient peaceful until
tho doctor appeared.
A short story scrap book, If bound
In a handsome cretonno or silk cover
with the Initials or tho owner make
a delightful gift for a semi-Invalid, or
will be appreciated by any woman. If
It is good looking enough to lie on

tho customer hns tnsto of her own oho
holps tho maker with suggestions as to
what she can wear and what sho can
not. Middle-aged women of good tasto of
ten refuse tho Jaunty lints first of
fered them, preferring tho moro Biiita
bio bonnet even If It Is n degreo less
stylish. Hut bonnets designed for even
oldeily heads aro now very smart,
and if tho head gets tho right ono the
result Is far moro youthful than if a
hat wore worn.
A very broad, fiat effect, with small
flower and nnrrow velvet or ribbon put
on compactly, aro tho ear marks o
the newest bonnets; and whero theso
aro absolutely rejected, a heavily
trimmed toque sometimes bridges
tho difficulty between the thing too
young and tho thing too old.
Feather boas, lace and net collar
ettes, and little shoulder mantles of
silk or lace, provide suitable wraps for
those who dislike being without somo
species of covering.
Tho illustration demonstrates a
pleasing model for cashmere, which Is
a material to be found In every city
and town of the United States. This
gown is so simple nnd serviceable that
every woman must recognize its ad
vantages. The bodlco and skirt are separate,
but the button trimming is arranged to
give a semi-princess effect. Tho waist
is closed at the back with hooks, and
the bands and buttons are of satin, cov
ered buttons of this sort being at this
moment extremely fashionable.
The little chemisette of tucked mus
lin gives the simple touch fashion
likes, but this may also be of not, lace
or slllr. Tho long, closed sleeves
shown are much in vogue, but slnco
there are wearers who still Insist upon
elbow lengths, the model allows for
both styles.
The five-gored skirt is a useful ono
for' cashmere,' and tho entire design
would accommodate Itself to a number
of other modest wool or silk materials.
Light-weight serge, summer flannel,
pongee and many wash toxtures, such
as gingham, linen and light-weight
duck, are also feasible.
If cashmere is used, pale gray, fawn
color, mauve and violet are all modish
and rewarding tints.
Silk-covered buttons, pipings, tiny
stiff bows and neckties in color are all
seen on many of the white net and lace
waists. The bows, which are very
small, are placed In rows of three at
the front of the collar and sometimes
down tho front of the bodice.
if satin or silk cannot be afforded,
cashmere or veiling would do for this
diess, and if tho latter has a satin
stiipe bordering it would not affect ele
gance. In fact, the bordering could
be used In place of the guipure hero
employed upon the bodice, and so les
