Wednesday, January 5, 1944 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE MACHINES GIVE CLEAN- MILK One of the chief causes of poor quality cream is that the milk separa- tor has not been thoroughly washed and scalded after each run. If the separator is left unwashed, large numbers of bacteria grow in the res- idue in the bowl and other parts. These bacteria arc picked up by the cream at the next separating. In the event of the separator not having been thoroughly cleaned, the keeping quality of the cream may be improv- ed by the following treatment :- With the bowl turning at full speed pour a pailful of hydrochloric solu- tion into the supply tank. Brush the inside of the tank with this solution, then allow it to ron through the ma- chine. This will rinse out and destroy many bacteria and prevent them con- taminating the cream when the milk is run through the machine. Milking machines with their yards of rubber hose require a different type of treatment. After the remain- ing milk has been flushed out by drawing cold water through under vacuum, the tubes are filled with a solution which prevents bacteria from growing. A number of solutions have been tried but the one giving best re- sults in bein both cheap and effec- tive consists of one-half of one per cen (0.5%) of common lye. The tea- cup clusters and long milk tubes are hung on a solution rack and filled with fresh solution after milking. The lye solution is drained out before the next milking. HOW TA GET 90 I'.C. GRADE "A" EGGS Milk and green feed are two of the, constituents of the poultry feed giv- en by a successful commercial egg producer. Ninety per cent of the eggs laid by his hens are Grade A all the year round. Here are his methods:- A supply of crushed oats, wheat, and barley is kept constantly before the birds in hoppers, also a commercial poultry concentrate. Cod liver oil is poured over the whole ?rain in quantities of about two oz. to 100 birds and fed at night. Skim- milk to the amount of 10 to 20 Ibs. per 100 birds, or semi-solid butter- milk, two Ibs. per 1 00 birds is fed daily. Green feed as much as the birds will eat of second or third cut alfal- fa or clover hay is fed by the fork- ful on the litter. This, along with the feeding of mangels or turnips keeps the birds busy and healthy. The birds do not eat the alfalfa but the course stocks they leave make excellent lit- ter. It does not dampen as quickly as straw. Barns full of suitable for poul- try feedings are the most significant thing about this producer's plant. He has had no bare-backed or feather- pulling birds in his flock for years. He uses the commercial poultry con- centrate to offset shortages in milk, and the quantities given to the birds vary directly in accordance with the supply of milk. Blood Donor Clinic In Flesherton, Jan. I The third clinic for blood donors will be held in Flesherton on Wed- nesday, Jan. I'Jth, under the super- vision of the Red Cross. There is a groat need for blood donors and those who have not yet donated are request- ed to get in touch with Mr. W. E. Betts and receive instructions as to diet, etc. Women can also donate, but their blood has to be examined by a physician prior to the clinic. It is hoped that all those who have donated blood in the past will be back again on January llith. GOODS FOR RUSSIAN RELIEF Flesherton Women's Institute is packing a bale of good used or new clothing and other articles. These can be left at the home of Mrs. E. Hass. All donations thankfully re- ceived. Net dividends are what a fisher- man is after. FARMERS AND FARM WORKERS If Your Farm Work has Slackened for the Winter, You Are Needed Elsewhere in Essential Employment Highly essential work very important in Canada's war effort and for the welfare of the Nation is threatened with short?;;es nf workers. One of the few sources of men available for other hij;h priority jobs is those men on the farm who will not be needed at home during the Fall and Winter. Heavy needs must be met in many lines producing fuel wood and other neces- sary forest products; in base metal mines, in food processing, in railway track maintenance! If you live on a. farm and are not needed at home during the I all and Winter, you are urged to answer this national appeal.

LOOKING BACK HALF A CENTURY The Salada v Tea Company of Cun- ado has the best thanks of The Ad- vance for a copy of an extremely interesting little publication entitled. "Looking Buck." In it pages the Company has presented in word and picture some of the Interesting and entertaining features of the fashions, transportation, farming and current events of fifty years ago, which is the time the Salada Company made .its bow to the people of Canada a~ an infant business concern. The Il- lustrations include a 'licture of Can- ada's first horseless carriage, which speeded along the streets of Tor- onto at the then Astonishing speee of fifteen miles an hour. It was said too that it actually did that fifteen miles on one charging of the battery. Another illustration shows how steam had come to the feid of the Prairie farmer is harvesting his heavy grain crop. Shown too is an early gas trac- tor and a number of illustrations of tho fashions of the early Victorian period. Interesting too is the repro- duction of a page from the Septem- ber 30, issue of Toronto Evening Tel- egram of 1803. The upper half of the page carries a large Salada Tea Ad- vertisement and the lower half is devoted to marine news, which the newspapers of that time featured in ,heir news columns. URGE BETTER CARE FOR DRY COWS Better care for dry cows will mean much 'better milk production when the cows freshen, according to stud- ies recently conducted by leading research veterinarians. During the dry period, the cow is rebuilding herself and storing up reserves which will make her a better milker when she freshens, these studies show. She should be given good, balanced rations, and the same care and at- tention as if she were on the milking line. The veterinary authorities who made these studies recommend that the dry period should vary from thirty to sixty days. Less than thirty days does not give the cow opportun- ity to store up sufficient reserves to develop a vigorous calf, it is said, while a dry period of more than sixty days is uneconomical and does not serve any useful purpose. Have a little talk with the man on top and you'll find he's at the bottom of a lot of worthwhile things. Dr. James McClinton of Timmins says; "If a farm boy joins any of the Services, or gets on relief, or devel- ops so-called social diseases, his ill- ness is looked after free. If he staya home, goes to church and works hard he has to pay for his medicines when he gets hurt." CREDIT AUCTION SALE FARM STOCK, IMPLEMENTS, Etc.
