Keep Them Clean
Elaborate barns and expensive
equipment are not necessary in the
production of clean milk although
they do help. More important' is
the keeping of the stable clean and
washing and sterilizing of the equip
ment used. Following this there
must be proper cooling of the cream
or milk, and if selling cream, fre
quent deliveries must be made, es
pecially durjng the hot weather. No
creameryman is in a position to
make the highest grade of butter
from cream that is not clean and of
good flavor. A. dairyman can great
ly assist in raising the score of our
Canadian butter. Of course there
must be proper’ equipment and care
in the creamery. Too often cream
is held too long at the farm to make
first-class butter.
A. D. Runions, agricultural repre
sentative for Lennox and Addington
in co-operation with the Department
of Chemistry, O.A.C., is conducting
fertilizer experiments with .some of
the County’s most prominent grow
ers in an effort to learn some meth
od of hastening the ripening of to
matoes at a sufficiently early date
and hence miss the possibility of
danger through an early frost. The
acreage of tomatoes has-been con
siderably increased this year and in
spite of a,heavy loss in June from,
an early frost, the plants give prom
ise of a heavy crop, A so.lution of
the above problem would mean' the
difference between profit and loss
for growers here. Four additional
vining and weighing .stations have
been built this year in Lennox and
Addington and yet they are unable to
adequately, handle the pea crop
which is the heaviest ever handled
there. k
Every year a greater acreage
devoted in Ontario to growing stich
crops as peas, beans, tomatoes, corn
and cucumbers for the canning
trade. Mof/t of the growers find
the returns satisfactory, this year
promising to be better than usual.
-While the weather has not been fa
vorable to all crops', it has been suit
able for peas. In Lambtoh County
farmers received $52 a ton for peas
and produced a yield as high as two
tons per acre. In Durham one
farmer had a yield of 4’600 pounds
for which he received $126.50 and
cleared $108.50 after paying .for the
seed. One grower ir Essex report
ed a clean profit of $726 from this
crop alone. Beans ' will soon be
ready for canning and growers are
being paid $'55 per ton delivered at
the factory.
Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Cooper, of
Clinton, have returned home after

Remodelling' the Barns
'This is the building season on the
farm. Although there wili not be
many new barns built this year, yet
there will be the usual amount of
remodelling of cow .stables. The
stables should be constructed to
keep out cold and conserve, the ani
mal heat, at the same time letting
the air move through the stable’by
some well designed ventilating mea
sure. In most cases the barns hav
ing the poorest ventilation facilities
are those where the inside tempera
ture is too low. The following sug
gestions could be followed to good
advantage by dairy farmers: Don’t
have the stable too high; eight feet
to the bottom joists is«plenty.'Have
as few doors as possible and have
them tight. F'ouii' square feet of
window lights per cow is sufficient
Insulate the walls. Warm stables
are desirable from every standpoint
—if well ventilated.
