Ain 70 Get the Aoot Butter when tAo
Article b Highest.
Will not the prevailing low prices for
butter during the summer show the
dairymen, who depend upon the ruling
Of the market, that in order to get any
money out of cows they must not be in
full flow of milk during hot weather?
Cows which are to calve in the fall
are going dry. This is as it should be
"A full flow in autumn and winter and
q falling OF in summer when butter is
cheap. Taking the country through,
not one farmer in ten has any
other market for his butter but
that afforded by the grocery
stores, where good. bad and in
different all sell alike. While this
seems foolish to the regular customer
dairymen, who, whether butter comes
down to ten cents or not is sure of his
price, it is a fact just the same. These
same grocery-store butter makers
might by little forethought avoid be-
ing placed in situation where the
only alternative lies between selling at
an extremely low price and holding
their butter until fall, hoping for rise
in the price.
The old way of having all tf.e cows
calve in the spring and go dry early in
the winter has obtained SO firm q foot
hold that it seems impossible to dislodge
it from some mems minds. Yet nothing
but direct reversal of this practice
will bring profit to the general farmer
out of his cows. Plan to have the cows
calve in October and the two following
months. Butter then brings its best
price, while the cows are fresh and do
ing their best. Then when hot wealth
er comes and the price begins to drop,
when pastures fail, when flies are trou-
blesome and the work Of making good
butter is almost an impossibility, un-
less supplied with more conveniences
than the average farmhouse possesses,
let the cows take a vacation. 1t is just
when all possible time is needed in the
field-another point in favor of not
having much milking to do.
Many men object to winter dairying
because it takes so much grain. Years
ago, when we began housekeeping, we
had but two cows. Upon these cows
we experimental with feed and
watched the results in the milk-pail
and churn. We found that with but
ter no higher than sixteen cents per
pound our cows paid us twice over for
the grain they consumed at market
prices. We often, now that the two
cows have increased to twenty or more,
hear men ask: ''How can you afford to
feed SO much grain?- But when the
butter pays for the grain several times
over, we do not hesitate to ''shove in"
the feed.
Summer dairying will probably al
ways be followed by some men. They
are the men who dislike to milk and
take care of cows when it is cold,
whose stables are far from being COM
Portable, and whose cows are of the
scrub variety. They are willing to
take = pail on their arm and go out to
the barnyard to milk. but can not bear
to milk in a stable. When winter
comes, they prefer to sit by the
stove rather than milk; so the milk
dwindles down to enough for coffee,
and sometimes to none at all.-Country

A Common Allstake.

A common mistake of farmers is
their habit of neglecting crops when
prices are low, with the sentiment that
it will not pay to give it extra care at
present prices. The reverse is true. 1t
will not pay to neglect crops for this
reason. 1t is the part Of wisdom to
fertilize and cultivate with greater
care the lower the price, for it has been
demonstrated that good cultivation
gives products Mt the least cost by in
creasing the yield more rapidly than
the cost. Twenty per cent additional
labor will often increase the yield so
to IS per cent.-Farm and Ranch.

sOil before spring work begins
Have you tried green soiling ~
means of improving the fertility Of the
soil? We mean by planting peas in
summer or early fall and turning
under the green crop just before
the first killing frost, the lat
ter part of October. This plan
puts new life into the soil for next
years gardening. besides, the shading
during the dry fall months consumes
the soil, and SO maintains a supply Of
some of the most important integers
that constitute the food supply of both
trees and plants.
Does the orchard need fertilizersi
That depends upon several contingent
cies-the age of the trees, the time the
land has been in cultivation and the
natural fertility of the soil. The or
chard being young, the soil of virgin
freshness, with sufficient fertility to
produce thirty-five or forty bushels OF
corn per acre, the orchard will do well
for number of years without fertiliz-
ing. But when the trees come into full
bearing and make heavy drafts upon
the earth to mature their crops
the time will come when it will
be necessary to fertilize, else the
trees will begin to starve, the fruit
will become smaller and of inferior
quality, and SO be worthless for mar.
ket or home consumption. We have
observed such results time and again
in the past thirty years, SO we can put
it down as an axiom that even the best
orchard lands will soon or late fail il
attention is not given to judicious feed
ing. Those trees planted on lands
that have been cropped in corn and
cotton till they have begun to fail will
need fertilizing from the first. What
fertilizers to use upon the orchard is
an important question, we'll deserving

nearly follows the lines Of division on
the silver question. The west and south
and the entire populis, contingent in
congress voted to tax incomes, while the
solid east voted against the proposition.

south carry the chief burden Of taxa

from the well-lined pockets Of the
