WHICH PAYS BETTER7
Butter and Cheese-Making Compared by
Peter Collier.

Butter and Cheese Making Compared by
Peter Collier.
In reply to the question: (Which
pays better, TO make milk into butter
or cheese?" Peter Collier, director of the
New York experiment station at GEN
eva, answers substantially that 1t de-
ponds on conditions. As rule in win
ter, butter pays better, since the amount
of fresh butter is far below the demand
and prices are comparatively high. In
summer, cheese-malking pays BETTER
since the price of butter IS then lowest.
and in the form of cheese the product
can be held and stored until prices are
high.
AS regards the loss Of fat in cheese
making, we may put the average
cheese-factory loss of fat at not less
than one-quarter of a pound of fat for
100 pounds of milk. In the case OF
butter-making from the same milk, by
ordinary process Of Dreaming by grav-
ity-setting, Of churning, etc, as in tho
case Of the average farmer, the loss
would not be far from half pound Of
fat for every 100 pounds of milk. BY
using a centrifugal machine for aepa-
rating the cream, and by skillful hand.
ling in subsequent operations, the loss
of fat can be reduced to one-ffth of q
pound of fat for 100 pounds of milk.
containing S.5 per cent. of butter fat.
AS to yield of cheese and butter tho
average yield of cheese on the above
supposition would be about ten pounds
of cheese for 100 pounds of milk. In
the case of butter, as made by the av.
erage farmer, the amount of butter
made from 100 pounds of milk would be
about 3.5 pounds. In the best cream
cries the yield would not be less than
8.9 pounds per 100 pounds of milk. To
realize twenty-five cents a pound on
each pound of milk fat, the cheese
would have to sell at s.75 cents per
pound: the butter for - to 25,5 accord
ing to the amount lost in making.

A sharp distinction must be drawn
between meditation and reverie. Too
many Christians think they are medi-
tating when they are only dreaming.
Sitting with an open Bible on your
knee and thoughts wandering Mt ran
dom may be pleasant, but it can no. be
helpful for it is merely passive CON

vacuity. While meditation has in it a
passive element, it is largely active in
its concentration of the mental facul.

OF the revelation of His mind and will

nous in thought rs well as in action
The more intense the meditation, the
more precious the blessings it brings.
Meditation's supreme value is the
door it opens into communion with
God. George Macdonald says beauti.
fully and truly in one of his best
books: Every door leading to God
is door opening outward of self,
out OF worldliness, out of sinfulness.
He who keeps the door of meditation
shut bars himself out of the sweetest
experiences of life, for he refuses to
enter that inner chamber where our
Father in Heaven is waiting to talk with
His children. God is always speaking
to us, in the voices of His revelation, OF
His providence, and of His spirit, but
for most of us the voices of the world
are so loud that they silence
the voice of God. In the bush
ed stiffness of the sanctuary OF
meditation it is very different. There
the voice of love sounds like music in
our ears, the restfulness of God claims
the fever of life, and the peace which
passeth under standing rests like ben
ediction upon our spirits.
However busy the day may be, we
must resolutely strive to sweeten and
strengthen it with golden minutes Of
meditation Even ten minutes of soil
tary communion in the morning will
make the day what otherwise it can moi
be. 1t will bring us into fellowship
with God, and carry into our work g

WHILE American farmers are content
with only few acres in roat crops,
the English farmer places his tntire
dependence on roots. On one English
farm of 200 acres 200 acres are devoted
to roots. The farm also increases in
fertility every year, as stock raising is
the principal business.
AS THE grass begins to fail later on,
the rations of the cows should be in
creased at the barn. If there is then a
supply of roots, and especially of car
rots and turnips, the cows may be
gradually changed from green food to
grain and hay with less risk of their
falling off in yield of milk.

The Standard of Love.

There is joy in loving, and in this
Joy there can never be an excess, where
the love is love to which we have any
right. Overlooking. in any proper sphere
of love, is an impossibility. No parent
ever loved child too dearly, nor any
child parent, nor any brother or sis
ter sister or brother, nor any wife or
husband a husband or wife, nor any
friend friend. The standard of loving
set before us is that of the Lord Him.
self for those whom lie loves. We are
to love one another as He loved us.
Who will claim that his love for dear
one, whom he has any right to love, is
stronger or deeper than Christ's love?
Until he has reached that standard, his
love is short in its measure, instead of
overs. S. Times.

Some Interesting Figures from the Indt-

Facts obtained by careful experiment

experiments.
The figures obtained by the Indiana
experiment station seem quite conclu-

The experiment was with eight
steers. They were divided into two
lots and comparison made of the
growth of the animals, each receiving
the same grain ration, but lot one get
ting corn silage, and lot two clover
hay. The animals were in good flesh,
no one had been out of condition during
the winter, they were yearlings past.
and there was difference of but
forty pounds in the weight of the
two lots. They were confined to
stanchions, but received about two
hours of exercise per day in a paddock
free of food. They were watered once
a day and weighed every Saturday

These steers are purchased in the

profit of $40. 30; the clover fed steers
in forty-two days gave a profit of S16. 76;

much time is frequently lost by the
farmer who is unable to hasten his
spring work in the field because the
wet condition of the ground forbids the
use of a wagon on cultivated land. The
use of wide tires on his wagon wheel

thi work much earlier and to perform
it more quickly and cheaply than can
be done with his narrow wheeled
wagon. In fixing the width of tires SO
