THE COST OF BUTTER.
Experiments Prove Dairy Farming to Be
Founded on a Rock.


Founded on a Rock.
In the dairy contest at the worlds
fair butter was made at cost of about
1874 cents per pound. The Minnesota
experiment station has since made it
at a cost of 10 cents per pound. Many
leading dairymen figure the cost at
about IL to Is cents. This includes The
cost of feed at the market price, but
also the cost of labor, interest on the in
vestment, etc. You hear dairymen talk
on every hand when the price of cream
cry butter gets below 20 cents per
pound that there is no money in the
creamery, for when the four 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 10 cents. But there is
one thing, and a very important one,
too that they seem ( o overlook. In max
ing a pound of butter cost IL cents we
have received pay for our crops at mar
ket value and have sold them to our
cows right at home. We get the cash
for our crops at a market value when
we sell butter at the cost of production
Q2h cents per pound), and we have
saved ourselves the trouble of drawing
those crops to market. A man can bet
ter afford to sell OUTER at the cost of
production than he can corn or oats or
wheat when the cost of a pound of but
ter includes the feed and labor at their
market value, as It does in the above
estimates because he has already re-
ceived his profits on his crops in the
1914 cents per pound for butter. This
explains why the dairy farmer, if he I'M
derstands his business, is more prosper
GUS than his neighbor who sells 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 haul
ing their ops to market every year
and putting nothing back on their
farm? The basic principles of dairy
farming, and more especially butter
making, are correct, for it consumes
the products of the farm and returns
the manurial elements to the soil after
the marketable dairy products have
been taken out. A Ton of gilt-edge but.
ter does not contain over so cents in
value in fertilizing elements. Dairy
farming is founded on a rock, and the
farmer who has energy and knowledge
enough to get good herd of cows and
keep them as they should be kept, will
surely be successful, and he will leave
to future generations a soil that is ca.
pable of feeding the human race at g
proft.-Hoards Dairyman.

ARSENIC ON SOIL.
When the Use of Insecticides Is Injurious
to Vegetation.

When the Use OF lnSectlclueS is injurious
to Vegetation.
We are asked if arsenic falling from
sprayed trees is not I'M ul ious TO vege-
tation. With the action of the rains and
the falling of the leaves most of the
arsenic which is applied to trees finally
reaches the soil. What then becomes
of it? If lime has been used with tho
spray, the arsenic will be insolublc
when it falls upon the soil. 1t is posi-
bic that the organic acids in the soil,
and also carbonic acid, may dissolve
some of the arsenic, but it would be
almost surely made Immediately insol-
uble again by combination with lime
or other soil constituents. If soluble
arsenic is placed on the soil, it probably
almost Immediately goes INTO insoluble
combinations, and remains where il
was placed unless slightly washed down
by mere mechanical means. Now some
plants appear to have the power to take
up every minute quantities of arsenic
and still thrive-probably SO minute
that the incest chemical test can scarce
ly discover it-but any apprrciablc
quantity of soluble arsenic in the soil
quickly destroys the roofs. If, there
fore, the grass and other. plants under
sprayed trees continue to live, there
need be no fear that the arsenic will
injure the soil.-Farmers' Voice.

FISH NOTES,

In Iceland Goldfish beaten to powder
are used as bread.
It's now generally believed that new
lakes, canals, etc, become filed with
fish by means of birds. The birds, after
feeding on fsh-spawn elsewhere alight
on these new waters, and drop some
of the spawn from their bills.
A sturgeon weighing 92O pounds was
taken from the Fraser river by a fish
erman recently. 1t was the largest
caught this season. The wholesale
price of the fish is one cent a pound,
but even at that rate it was profita BILE

Fisherman say that the use of nets
in fishing for sturgeon is rapidly sup

big fish in the upper Columbia and
Snake rivers. The nets are from COO
to 900 feet long, and the meshes vary
in size between IL and 10 inches.

THE KEY DID FIT.

The narration of several experiences
of travel led one of the Americans In
the smoking-room of the steamer TO
tell this story: "There is in Hanover,
as some of you know" he began, "a
beautiful garden, Herrenhausen, on
which the kings of HaS <ver, when
there were kings of Hanofer, lavished
much attention. Some years ago Wis
tied Herrenhausen with my wife ana
children and some persons whose &C
quaintance we had made on the
steamer. 1t was beautiful day In
summer, and we all felt in the highest
spirits. 1t happened that at the hotel
some one had told me of the statue OF
former margarine of Hanover when
was soon to be unveiled in Herren-
hansen. 1t was to stand in a she'll
shaped structure, the whole of which
was boarded over at that time.
When our party reached the she'd
like affair l began to tell what 1t was
there for, who the margarine was ana
so on, pretending vast knowledge OF
the whole business. One of my chill
dren then wanted to know II we
couldn't see the statue. In joking
way l said certainly, and going up TO
the gate of the shed drew bunch OF
keys from my pocket. l did it as II
were going to open the lock, and actt
ually put the key into it, taking thd
first that came to hand. l turned the
key, to carry out the joke, and was as1
tonished beyond measure to find the
lock yield and the door open.
my little daughter clapped - q
hands and exclaimed %, papa's opened
the door, and rushed in to see the
statue. The others followed, while l
for a moment was too dazed to say a
word. l began to feel more or less
alarm. l had heard great deal about
the strictness of German enforcement
of law, and knew that technically l
had committed burglary. The ques-
ton also arose in my mind whether l
could not be hauled up for lese majestic
and sent to prison for six months At
the same time it would have been en-
barrassing and humiliating to confess
to my children that l had made mis-
take and had no right in there.
THE statue was covered with cloth,
and so managed to hustle the party
out of the shed after short time. One
of the laborers CHANGED to pass, and he
was evidently surprised to see us in
there. He must have taken me for the
sculptor or something of the kind, and
did not summon a policeman. l was in
the greatest trepidation until l relocked
the door and finally got away with my
family and friends. There were prob
ably million chances to one that my
key wouldn't fit that particular lock,
but l haven't liked to be too practical
in my jokes since that time. '-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

Hard milking is commonly due to a

and with a small knob at one end, to pre-.

Trees Need Moisture in Winter,

1t is an almost universal mistake tc
think that trees require no water, or
but very little in winter. There is
evaporation and a great deal of it all
through the winter, and if moisture is
not close at hand the tree will! die,
Keeping this in mind it will be seen
why there is great benefit in mulchinR
newly planted trees. 1t keeps the fir 5st
from the roots if placed on the ground
thick enough, which it SHOULD be, aud
in this way it is easier for the roots to
sustain the calls the tree makes for
moisture to meet the loss by eyapor~
,tion.-New England Farmer.

'Time and tide wait for no man." saith
the adage there are many other things
OF the non-waiting kind which will not be
put off and ought not to be. Half the mis-
cry of the world is caused by delay, and
rheumatism is one of those insidious ills
which demands prompt attention, especially
in mid winter, when the cold accelerates its
action and intensifes pain. If allowed to have
its way, it will wait for no man in its rapid
development of the chronic stage. When
this is reached, then come troubles, not
only in its misery but in many ways where
helpless condition throws the sufferer out
ot-E=sFk and money. But whether in its
acute, chronic or inflammatory stage, don't
wait The tide of pain will go on and so
will loss of time. At the same time we all
know that St. Jacobs Oil is made and sold
for the express purpose of curing the worst
cases in their worst form at any stage 1t
has cured and will cure in nine cases out of
