Dairy and Creamery.

Never try to run a creamery, cooper
alive or otherwise. without having at
its head thoroughly well trained man
ager. There is always such a man in the
Danish creameries, the best managed
ones in the world From our state dairy
and creamery schools bright. earnest
entirely qualified young students viii
yearly be pouring out. They VIII get
places as creamery managers and help
ers and should have the preference every
time.
Mr.. j. Moldenhawer. writing in The
Creamery Journal, warmly advocates the
pasteurizing of cream before it is churned
into butter. The pasteurizing consists
in heating the cream while sweet to $50
or 100 +. This destroys the microbes Of
decay There is no cooked flavor at all
in butter made from such cream. 1t only
needs to be carefully ripened before be-
inc churned. Mr.. Moldenhawer SAYS
that 20 years ago he made butter near
ST. Petersburg from cream that had been
heated TO 200 f., and it was in great de-
mand for time Such butter unsalted
he was able 20 keep entirely fresh and
sweet for a month. Raising the cream
to 200 f. gives the butter nutty flavor
At St Petersburg it was called Partisan
butter and was considered a great deli
cacy.
The time has come when the creamer-
les must pasteurize the cream before
they churn it. The microscopic gentle
men are making row over hurtful mi
crobes that fall into milk and run through
into all the butter that is put upon the
market. They say nobody would eat
butter if he knew how bad it was
Whether the microscopic cranks are right
or not, butter and cheese from pasteur-
lied milk and cream will secure popular
favor in the market at once.
The Mercantile Exchange of New York
city passed a resolution calling on Gov
ernor Flower TO hold back the appropri-
atoms from public institutions that use
oleomargarine. The New York law pro-
hibits state institutions from using the
hog butter, but the hog butter fellows
manage TO get i'm their fine work never
theless. and the politically appointed Of
ficials of ths state institutions are said
10 pocket the difference.
One way to defeat the oleomargarine
frauds will be TO make real butter so de-
licious that everybody can tell the diff
ference at first taste and will decline
to take into his stomach the revolving
counterfeit.
Mrs. L. NJ. Jones. the model dairy
woman Of Canada. wraps her prints of
butter each separately in piece of fine

TertlIlzers For Wheat.

c. +. Thorne, director of the Ohio
agricultural experimental station, writes
that the experiments with wheat have
been carried on by adding certain ele-
ments Of fertility. Nitrogen alone has
given the best results when compared
with the cost. To grow wheat by add
ing the chemicals to the soil is a finan-
cial failure. We must contrive some
way by which to catch and use the nitro
gen of the air. The great nitrogen trap
of the universe is clover, and the farm
er's success depends upon the judicious
use Of this crop.
The outlook for the success of chem
ical fertilizers on soil for crops lies in the
combination of clover with phosphoric
acid and potash. With corn the results
are the same. We must get our nitrogen
cheaper than 10 cents per pound, but as
a fertilizer nitrogen comes most nearly
paying expenses. With oats and wheat
the results arc about the same as with
corn. Each shows marked increase
with nitrogen. but none of them yet pays
when grown by it. To make it profita-
ole the cost of production must be re-
luced. There is a hopeful outlook to-
ward making clover our nitrogen catcher.

had collectable claims against the
government, and demanded a small
fee in advance for looking mp their
case. Enough men took this bait to
make these shysters rich. DR..
Avery's inves igations have already

The Meaning ofTroIicy.

Most persons who use the word "trolley"
probably do not know the origin of this
term or why this name was given to that
apparatus by which tho electricity Is con
veyed from an aerial wire Twenty years
ago the word was used To- designate "a
form of truck which can be tilted, for car
rying railroad materials or the like"
This il the only definition Of the word
in Webster's dictionary OF tho edition of
1913. In the edition Of 1892 of the same
work three other definitions are added.
I. "a narrow cart that is pushed by hand
or drawn by an animal" L. is noted that
this meaning Of the word il in use in Eng
land, not in the United States. 2. "A
truck from which the load il suspended
ON some kinds of cranes" This meaning
is technical, according 20 Webster, and
employed only In speaking of machinery.
3. Electric railway "a truck which
travels along the fixed conductors and
forms a means Of connection between them
and railway carr it is easy TO see how
the primitive form of the electric trolley,
which travels upon the wires, came to re-
ceive its name from It's resemblance 90 9th

Minter Cabbnges.

There are many ways of wintering cab
5ages, varying with the construction of
the apartments in which they are stored.
Following is what Country Gentleman
says ON the subject: In cellar with an
earth bottom they may be taken up and
the roots set in the soil. This answers
well for early use or during the winter
For late winter or spring trench them
inverted. Select a dry place and dig
shallow trench about feet wide and
deep enough to contain the cabbages set
upside down or slightly above. Place the
inverted heads in this trench as com.
pactly together as practicable. The work
Of securing them must be commenced
just before the ground freezes late IN
autumn or even later and throw earth
over the whole. When the ground freezes
quite hard so as to reach the heads, COW
er with straw. Properly cared for in all
particulars and with the work well done,
the heads will keep even as late as May.
The best straw TO cover the cabbages is
said to be flax.

LAYING HENS.

Keeping Males With the Laying Stock.
Some Observations on Feather Eating.
A recent bulletin from the New York
agricultural experiment station is devot-
ed TO detailed report Of valuable practi-
cal tests with laying hens. One of these ex-
periments was made with view TO fur
nish trustworthy information in regard
TO the question Of the relative egg pro-
duction of hens kept without and with
male birds. Observations were also
made on the vice or habit of feather eat
ing. Following are in brief conclusions
drawn from these experiments:
A pen of pullets kept without male
produced eggs at about 30 per cent less
cost than an exactly similar pen with
which cockerel was kept.
Another pen without male gave dur
ing the first three months about the same
proportionate excess of product over an
exactly similar pen with which cock
erel was kept. After the development
of the feather eating habit the egg prod
uct diminished, but during eight months
the total egg yields for each pen were
very nearly alike.
In each of the two pens without male
birds some pullets had begun to lay
from one to two months earlier than
any in the corresponding pens in which
male birds were kept
While Feather eating" usually APP
pears after feeding for any length of
time, an UNMARRIED ration deficient in
some constituents, more especially nj
trogenouS matter, the habit has devel-
oped from idleness or some unknown
cause among fowls having a ration
which gave satisfactory results with
other similar pens of fowls fed at the
same time
While the habit Of feather eating can
be cured sometimes by needed change
of food and sometimes by other methods,
no method which necessitates freqnent
handling of fowls will be an economical
one with ordinary stock. The vice is
very uncommon among fowls that have
exercise and variety of food, and it is
most economical TO prevent its appear
ance by careful feeding. but as the
spread is rapid even under a ration
which does not ordinarily seem TO en-
courage its development the vice should
be stamped out by the death or removal
Of the first offender.

In the next place, we demand Pro
lection against foreign lies. We
demand that by suitable legislation
such penalties be provided as will
make it profitable to brand goods
truthfully. If the label says pure
olive OIL" it must be such, without
any adulteration whatever-save il
may be the worms mashed up with
the fruit. If it is a mixture of cot
ton seed, sunfower and various
ether oils, then we demand that the
label shall truthfully represent the
articles of which the compound is
made and the percentage of each.
AT present foreign lies are more
dam aging to the olive industry in
the United States than pauper labor,
the flavor of the foreign label ap
parently tickling the appreciative

FEEDING MILK COWS.
A Test of just How lar Liboral Rations
Are Profitable.

A Test of just How ar liberal Rations
Are Profitable.
Bulletin No. "a of the Pennsylvania
agricultural station gives tie results OF
an experiment by Professors Waters and
Caldwell and Mr.. Weld upon the ques-
tion of the most profitable amount of
food for n milk COW. In these expert
ments 10 cows were fed ration begin
ming with 8 pounds of grain and II
pounds of hay and gradually increasing
up to as high as 10 pounds of grain and %
pounds of hay per day and head and then
gradually decreasing to the original
amount. Throughout the experiment
accurate notes were taken of the amount
and cost Of the food, the amount of milk
produced by each animal, and its butter
value as determined by the Babcock test.
Perhaps the most striking lesson of the
experiment is the demonstration ii gives
of the profit there is in liberal feeding.
The cheapest ration used cost 1873 cents
per day and produced butter valued at
eos cents, making a net profit of ~
cents per day per COW. An increase of
30 cents per day per COW in the cost of
this ration made the daily value Of the
butter 81 cents and the net profit 9.S
cents per day, or difference Of 1.6 cents
per day per COW in favor of the more
costly ration.
In other words, the farmer who at
tempted to economic by feeding the
cheaper ration would, with a herd of %
cows, save $21750 per year on his feed
bills. but would lose S337.50 worth of
butter that he might have produced with
the more costly ration, so that his i'll
judged attempt at economy would re
suit in a net loss of Sl20.
The cheaper ration, moreover, is what
would ordinarily be considered a good
ration, and the majority of dairymen
would be likely to feed less rather than
more, yet the results Of this bulletin
show conclusively that with such cows
as these the more expensive ration was
really the more economical.
A further increase Of the cost OF the
ration, however, 20 POI cents per day
gave no further increase in the butter
product, and the net profit was thereby
cut down to 80 cents per day, or is
cents less than with the cheapest ration
of the three In other words, the expert.
ments indicate that there is a certain
medium ration for each COW which will
give the greatest net profit and that any
attempt to economic by feeding less
than this will result in loss, while, OF
the other hand, it is possible TO feed
cow too much as we'll as too little. Gen
orally, however. there is more danger Of
feeding too little than too much.
The experiment also brings out in n
striking light the great individual diff
ferences in cows and the great impor-
lance of a careful study by the dairyman
of each individual of his herd, both as
regards the amount of milk and butter
produced and the cost of feed consumed.
The net profit yielded by each one of the
10 cows used in this experiment was the
greatest Oh the medium ration, but il
varied in amount from 90 cents per day
to 81 cents per day, equivalent, for a
milking period of 800 days, TO $500 and

that Greek isn't what the toiling
millions are most yearning for in

dered that the Greek jargon which
nobody could read be chiseled off the

that the inscription be made in plain
