There is. sound common sense in

that the net returns from the five

The new hog-grading laws which
came into effect last )Septembeiv have

Milk Market Improved.
Market milk has been greatly im
proved in quality in recent years.
Health departments, in many cities
have been applying, scientific tests
in order to protect the
from contaminated
mjlk. Milk’ dealers themselves are
also making use of t^iese tests to
protect the consumer, the dealer and
the careful producer alike. By sys
tematic testing and grading of in
coming raw milk supplies, the deal
er is now able to eliminate milk un
suitable for battling and thus to im-
•prove the quality. A Dominion De
partment of Agriculture Bulletin, No
123, has. been issued treating the
subject from the standpoint of food
value, cleanliness, keeping1 quality,
healthfulnqss and flavor. It

tors, and tells how the * tests

■Water for Cows
Cows producing large amounts of
milk require large amounts of water
a-s well as feed. It makes up seven
pints of every gallon of milk pro
duced and is necessary for all life
processes. It is said that of every
100 pounds of milk' produced, there
is contained, on an average, 87 lbs.
of water. The 'cow' requires 500
pounds of,water including that in.

and to pay for it according to its

ent seasons as well aS competition at
othd? outlets for milk, must be taken
into consideration in any system
grading.
