WHAT 1T COSTS TO MAKE BUT
AN AUTHORITY ON DAIRY MATTERS TALKS
ABOUT THE COST OF BUTTER
PER POUND

Quite frequently up springs some man
who proceeds to tell us what it costs to
make butter. No sooner has he subsidized
than some other fellow declares that the
first is all wrong. AS we view it, says
Hoard's Dairyman, the cost of producing
pound of butter must depend on so
great number of ever varying condi-
tions that the experience of no one man
can be taken as guide for others. There
are, however, two primary principles
which govern everywhere.
l. The cost of butter per COW will al
ways be affected by the amount the COW
yields. For instance, if a COW yields on
ly $50 pounds a year, the cost per pound
in some respects is more than double of
that obtained from COW that yields 300
pounds. The item of labor, stabling,
and to considerable extent feed also, is
nearly, if not quite, the same with the
first COW as with the second.
2. In herds of cows the cost of butter
per pound is affected by the size of the
herd. Ten cows producing POO pounds
each, in season, will require the same
machinery and room that will herd of
twenty having the same relative produc-
ton per COW.
Two thousand pounds of butter will
cost more per pound, in many particu-
lars, than 1000 pounds. The proportion
of cost will also be varied greatly by the
perfection and hardness to stable and
dairy house. A Mr.. Hopkins of Buffalo,
N. Y, with a herd of fifteen very fine
dairy cows that produced an average of
332 pounds per COW, says in the Country
Gentleman that his butter cost him II /
cents pound to produce that which sells
for an average price of 30 cents.
Another dairyman says his figures are
all wrong, and that it costs him A cents
a pound the year round. We would not
wonder if it did. Take some of these
foolish dairyman who really prefer a COW
that will yield l25 pounds to one that
yields 300 pounds, and we doubt not
they are paying cost of 30 to 40 cents
for all they get. 1t takes from $50 to
$40 to keep even such low down cows a
year; and return of only about hun
dred pounds of butter makes the article
cost dear. In all these fine points ii
takes brains to figure where the profit
lies. Not one farmer in one hundred can
tell today what his butter costs, or the
cost per gallon of his milk product. AS
business men this should not be-

MORE FRAUDS IN FERTILIZERS.

The Pennsylvania board of agricul-
ture reports that certain complete fer
tillizer," offered at $50 per ton, is really
worth, by analysis, only Slip. An
other, selling for $2l, has a manurial
value of just II cents. A third, whose
price is SIS, is worth but II cents.
And yet there are many valuable fertil-
lizers, and they are furnished by trust
worthy parties. The only safe rule is to
purchase of reputable manufacturers or
dealers, after a careful study of the re-
ports of the most capable official
analysts Independent.

Henry Clay and Mr.. Bowie.

Henry Clay once told me, said Mr.
meeting with Bowie. 1t was in the
early days, and Clay was travelling in
stage coach. where the only other
passengers were a pretty girl, big
rough looking countryman, and a
limp little figure in a greatcoat. With
the consciousness of his own perfect
physique, Clay said he was congratu-
lating himself on not being the limp
little figure bundled up in the corner
when he became conscious that the
pretty girl was begging the rough
countryman not to smoke, as it made
her III. The fellow replied, with a
savage oath, that he had paid his fare
and would smoke when he pleased.
Mr.. Clay said he was just trying to
screw his courage up to the point of
when the limp little figure undoubled
itself like magic, and, with a quick
movement, reached down its collar,
brought out knife that in the excite
ment of the moment looked a yard
long, and with another catlike move
ment seized the fellow by the throat.
Throw that pipe out of the window
or Tll"-. A comprehensive sweep
of the murderous looking blade fin
ished the sentence and sent the pipe
SCATTERING on the ground. In another
minute the knife had again disap-
peared down the capacious collar and
the limp figure had resumed its for
mer vertebraless condition, but the
rest of the journey, said Mr.. Clay, Il
spent in wishing / was the little man
in the great coat, who was none other
than Bowie, with his famous knife. 49,

A Peculiar Mistake.

Two young women of the same
name-one from Charlestown and the
other from Salem-were at the Massa-
chusetts General hospital. The one
from Charlestown died, and the clerk,
by mistake, notified the friends of the
patient from Salem, who came to take
away the body. An undertaken who
accompanied them went to the board
of health for a permit to bury the
body, and the certificate of death be-
ing found in regular order the permit
was granted. On reaching the hospi-
tai the error was discovered, and it
was learned that the Salem woman had
been discharged. Boston Transcript.
