Education in the Creamery.

The college creamery of Ames, Ia,

a day, besides some cheese. The stu
dents find very abundant opportunity
to study every feature. visit to the
creamery any week day in the year

In the milk, weighs it and samples it
for analysis. Another watches the
temperature in the receiving vat. Two,
perhaps, attend the separators, and one
or more test the skim milk repeatedly
during separation to see if the sep
arators do perfect work. An instructor
tests the cream of the previous day
with the alkali to see if it is ripe
enough. Two students attend the
churns, several take hand in working
the butter. Several students take a
hand in packing the butter and prepar-
ing the tubs for market. Students, In
turn, make fires and attend to the en-
gine. In the cheese rooms students
are over the vats with Thermometers,
cutting knives, hot irons and the like.
Every step described is recorded on a
card that is filed away under lock- The
butter goes to the eastern cities and
the cheese is in demand at home.

AN old miner of Wellington, b. c., met
death in u dramatic way few weeks
ago as result of an odd, reckless prac-
tice. His long familiarity with ex-
plosives had made him careless. He
always kept his keg of black powder
slowed under his bed in the little cabin
in which he lived, and had a habit of
smoking in bed until be fell asleep
This might seem criminally careless to
anyone but miner, but the possibility
of disaster never occurred to the old
man or his neighbors. But what every
one else might have expected happened
One night recently a near neighbor
was awakened by the cracking of
flames, and found the old mans cabin
was afire. Before any help could be
rendered the explosion came, and the
old miner and his cabin went up.

A Japanese Interior.

The interior of "A japanese house is quite
unlike the interior of an American house.
The rooms are low studded to suit the
small stature of the occupants, so low, in
fact, that it is often hard for u foreigner to
move through them without awkwardncss.
Both the outer and inner envelope of the
house are in a large part removable, and
the screens of which they are composed
can be easily adjusted to provide both door
and window space. Doors, therefore, in
our sense, there are usually none, and
such windows as may be built into the
permanent walls are regarded more rs II
decoration than IA necessity. A Japanese
house contains no furniture, as we under
stand furniture, and except in certain spe-
Dial places it is bare of pictures and bric-a-
orac. And, lastly, the japanese house is
lnheatcd except by charcoal braziers.-

will find that he has built his hopes
upon a sandy foundation. The condi-
lions Of the country, both rs regards

sion. have not changed since last fall.
The crop has now practically passed
out Of the hands of the farmers. What
interest can .he possibly have in what
cotton brings at the present timef The
price was kept down as long rs he had
any of the staple to sell. II it is worth

from the farmer at q phenoEinally
low price. He stated that the price
was SO low because of over-production.
The farmer. profiting by the lesson
which he had just learned. went home
and decided to plant cotton as side
issue this year. The manipulation. hav-
ing all the cotton in sight. takes no
chances in advancing the price. 1t he
can fool the southern farmer and get
him to plant another large crop this

FARMER AND PLANTER.
MISLEADING ADVICE


Whseh Farmers Wosld DO Well to beware
Of Ia Changing From Old Methods.
In the present depressed condition Of
agriculture many southern farmers
are casting about for something that
will take the place Of cotton as q
money producer. Diversity of crops,
stock-raising, tobacco culture and vari-
GUS other plans are suggested. There
can he no doubt that any of these
may. with proper care and foresight,
be made to pay. But the average farm
er, in experimenting with new and I'M
familiar methods, is in danger Of ac-
cepting as truth advice from incom-
petent sources, and thus bringing upon
himself disappointment and serious
loss. Ny attention has been drawn to
this subject by the following para
graph, entitled Facts for Cotton
Growers" accredited to the Birming-
ham (Ala.) News:
suppose each acre Of cotton pro-
duces one bale. and that bale brings in
the market SIS. 1t cost s. so to gather
1t. The bagging and ties are worth 81.
which makes 50. SO to gather and get it
ready for market. This leaves $3.50,
not counting anything for rent or cul-
tivation. The acre Of land will produce
fifty bushels of corn. Fifty bushels of
corn will feed and fatten five hogs that
will average in weight 500 pounds. Say
the i've pigs cost S. each-Sl1. 1t will
cost S. to slaughter them. The five will
make 800 pounds of pork. worth say
cents per pound, makes SIS. Deduct
expenses, SIS. leaves $50. From that
the net amount OF proceeds of cotton,
and it leaves balance of $3.50 in
favor of the pig raising"
Now, in this short paragraph there
are several misleading statements.
which will produce one bale of cotton
per acre, will not yield 50 bushels Of
corn; s5 bushels would be considered a
good crop. But even granting that it
would produce SO bushels, it is absurd
to suppose that this quantity of corn
will raise and fatten pigs aggregating
I,5OO pounds of pork. If the writer of
this paragraph has a variety of pigs
which can be made to weigh 800
pOuHuS oA ~ puShClS OkCOTus lac NOulu
confer an inestimable favor upon the
farming class by offering the stock for
sale. The truth is that so bushels of
corn alone will not raise and fatten
two pigs of good stock-in fact, it
would not be too much for one.
The conclusion of the News writer
is good. though his premises are false:
pig raising does pay when it is proper
ly managed. But if the experimental
relies solely upon corn as food, he will
lose money. AS prominent South
Carolina farmer remarked a few years
ago, raising hogs on corn alone is as
absurd as raising dogs on fried chick
en-. In most parts of the south, where
land is plentiful. by planting sorghum,
peas. sweet potatoes, peanuts, chufas
and artichokes. the farmer may keep
his pigs in good condition without q
grain of corn for eight or nine months
of the year. and at very little expense.
This is the method pursued by those
who have been most successful in the
business. Experience will show that
three hundred pound pig, raised and
fattened on corn alone. will ihave ''eat-
