While 81 he fowls can consume much
larger quantity. To attempt to feed
clover, however, without grain as an
assistant would be going to the other
extreme; hence the best results can
only be obtained from mixed or bal

Quality In Feeders.
Quality is a prime essential in stock
for feeding purposes. A thousand pit
les that more attention is not paid to
It. The current impression that there
is little Or no money in finishing stock
has arisen from the lows grade Of
mich Of the stock that has been fed.
Many OF those who have had to pur-
chase the stock they feed are agreed
that the low quality Of the same is the
one great obstacle in the way OF sue
cess. Farmers, the live stock of the
country ought to be improved. 1t must
! be Improved. 1t is the duty of every
fksCA SOA An luc l<OI(l1WeSL WHO is Ill
terested III stock to try and improve
It. The way of improvement is clear.
There need be no doubt on this point
All Gull animals must he discarded for
breeding purposes. The best must be
Kept Tor breeding purposes. No breed
er can afford to sell his best breeding
animal however common they may be,
unless he should be able with the
money to buy better ones. Good pure
breed sires must be used This is i'm
perative. If our farmers only knew
the value of pure blood, grade sires
would never be used, unless where.
pure hreds cannot be obtained. Some
of them realize it's value. All of them
do not. The number of those who are
becoming awakened to tue great value
OF pure blood in up-grading is contin-
ually increasing, and it will increase.
More attention must also be given to-
food ard care or quality alone will not
avail.-Northweste Farmer. #

s Oil Meal for Swine

Oil meal may be used with much adj
vantage as food for swine. This.
fact does not seem to be well under
stood by many feeders, and the harder
the pigs are crowded the more advan-
tageous will be the feeding of the oiR
cake. When given to the brood so,ys
before narrowing, it is excellent to pre-
vent constipation. If given during the
nursing period it tends to keep the
bowls in tone during the crowding
period of heavy feeding. If given to,
young pigs after they are weaned, and
more especially when they are being
fed skim milk freely, it takes away
the constipating tendencies of the lat
ter, When pigs are on pasture they
do not require it SO much When they
are being fattened, however, it wiln
serve/an excellent purpose. But only
a small quantity should be given.
One quarter of pound per head per-
day is enough, even during the fat
tening period. A very small quantity
will suffice for young and growing
pigs. a large amount would probably
make the bowels too lax, and it wouldr
also mar the appetite. When OIL NEAL
is properly fed it induces a nice condis
ton of the coat and skin. Swine rails.
ers will do well to look into the ques.
ton Of feeding oil meal.

COST OF BUTTER !.

What Il Costs to Make one Pound
of Butter. ZIG s.s
In the dairy contest at the worlds
fair butter was made at cost Of
about 12h cents per pound. The Min
nesota experiment station has since
made 1t at a cost Of 10 cents per
pound. Many leading dairymen figure
the cost at a bout - to 10 cents. This
includes the cost of feed at the market
price, and also the cost Of labor, inter-
est on the investment, etc. You hear
dalrymen talk on every hand when
the price of creamery butter gets be-
low ~ cents per pound that there is
no money in the creamery, for when
the cents per pound for making is
deducted it brings the price received
nearly or quite down TO the cost; that
IS, figuring the cost as above. at 10 to
ID cents. But there is one thing, and
very important one, too, that they
seem to overlook. In making a pound
OF butter cost II cents we have re-
ceived pay for our crops at market
value and have sold them to our cows
right at home. We get the cash for
our crops at market value when we
sell butter at the cost of production
l2@ cents per pound), and we have
saved ourselves the trouble of draw
ing those crops to market. A man can
better afford to sell butter at the cost
OF production than he can corn or oats
or wheat when the cost of pound of
butter includes the feed and abor at
their market value, as it does in the
above estimates, because he has al
ready received his profits on his crops
IN the 12h cents per pound for butter.
This explains why the dairy farmer,
. If he understands his business, is NOR,
prosperous than his neighbor who sell
his hay and grain instead of feeding it
to good cows right at home Do you
ever stop to think that some farmers
are selling their very farm, load by
load, in hauling their crops to market
every year and putting nothing back
on the farms? The basic principles Of
dairy farming, and more especially
butter making, are correct, for it con-
sumes the products of the farm and
returns manurial elements of those
crops to the soil after the marketable
dairy products have been taken out.
A ton Of gilt-edge butter does not con
tain over SO cents in value. in. fertiliz-
ing elements. Dairy farming is found
ed on a rock, and the farmer who has
energy and knowledge enough to get
a good herd of cows and keep them as
they should be kept, will surely be sue.
cessful and he will leave to future
generations a soil that is capable of
feeding the human race at profit

THE BOARD SHOULD ACT QUICKLY.
MR.. DE vARONA EXPLAINS THE TROUBLE
OVER WATER POLLUTION IN HEMP



From time 70 time there have been frequent COM
n,aints that refuse matter from the village OF
4emnstead has found its way into the storage
r. servoir at that point, and polluted the WAFER
70 such an extent that the Health Board, upon
n akine tests. found Just cause for serious COM
plaint against the village. The matter mas peeh
remedied somewhat by strict espionage upon the
town authorities, but no permanent and sale Ie-
lief could be expected unless the stream was d.
yerted at that point. In speaking OF this trouoie
Yesterday Engineer De Varona, OF the CITY
Works Department, yesterday said:
"Thc wash from the streets Of Hampstead Is
taken into our storage reservoir. and the supply
the refrom is. therefore, polluted by this dis
charge. To prevent it pipe line has been pro-
,osed around the reservoir. to discharge below
smiths Pond the city's lowest source OF supply.
by means OF which the objection to the water
Will! be removed from the city's supply. In this
ca se there Ia no diversion Of the stream since the
waters proceed by their own channel. 1t is as
serted that the Rockville Centre oystermen object
to the proposed pipe line, asserting that INJURY
will be- done 10 the oyster trade. and 1t is singular
that on some other occasions complaint has been
made against the city because 1t does not allow
the waters TO freely discharge into the bay, and
in this case the complaint is made because the
city allows 1t to go on its way to the bay, ana
simply keeps It out of Its own reservoir.
commissioner White some time ago asked Tor
an APPROXIMATION Of $4,000 for the above-men-
toned work, and hearing was had before the
Committee on Water and Drainage to explain the
work 1t was favorably considered, out action
was delayed for one week.
Mr. De Varona thinks that II the Board acts
quickly, as well as favorably, the work Will be
well under way by the fall.
