The Cost of Butter.

A very close calculation was made Dy
writer, "F. j. S." in the Farmers
Advocate last year on the cost of but
ter in Eastern Canada. He divided the
question into three parts: "Grass but
ter" "fall butter" and winter butter"
and worked it out on the basis that
COW gives 5000 pounds of milk, yield
ing 200 pounds Of butter, and that she
milks nine months.
Labor is charged at 10 cents an hour,
board included. The strictly grass but
ter season he puts at two months, May
20 to July 20. The total cost for feed,
labor, milking, caring for milk, churn-
ing and marketing he puts at $3.50 per
cow for sixty days. He then charges
up to this grass butter" the proportion
of cost of keeping the cow three months
In idleness, which is $1.33, making
total of $7.13, which brings the cost of
the ninety pounds of butter which was
produced on grass by a two-hundred-
pound COW to be eight cents pound.
The fall period he placed at ninety
days. For this period the cost per
pound of butter was found to be fif-
teen cents.
The cost of winter production for
period of 12O days, with ensilage used,
is placed at 2O1a cents, while the cost
of milk per 100 pounds was found to be
6S cents,

Fuel Value of Corn as mpared with
CoaI-Experiments as to the Cost of

Fuel Value of Corn.


The present abundance and low price
of corn throughout the Northwest has
caused it to be used as fuel by hun
dreds of farmers and by some dwell
ers In the towns. To test the economy
Of this practice, the station burned
5,232 pounds of corn in furnace un-
der boiler, and careful account was
kept of the quantity of water evapor-
ated by the heat. The next day like
quantity of coal was used, and care
full account kept of the quantity of wa
ter evaporated converted into steam).
The experiment proved that one
pound of coal will eyaporate nearly
twice as much water as one pound of
corn-the exact figures being one and
nine-tenths times as much. The coal
used cost $6.65 per ton IN Lincoln, and
according to that price the corn was
worth, for burning, $3.50 per ton, or
1215 cents per bushel. When coal is
worth $4.S7 per ton, corn is worth, for
burning, cents per bushel; when coal
Is worth $5.41 per ton, corn Is worth
10 cents; coal $5.95, corn II cents; coal
$649, corn II cents; coal Sill, corn IL
cents; coal, $7.57, corn IA cents; coal
SSH, corn 15 cents. But, by burning
corn, the farmer saves hauling the corn
to town and hauling the coal home. An
other consideration, however, is this:
May it not pay better to hold the corn
till next year than to burn it? Two
years ago wheat was so cheap that
farmers were feeding it to hogs; now
1t Is we'll up in price. 1t is not unlike

Honest HOrse.Traders.

Swapping horses, 1t is said, is of all
trades the most trying to mems hon
esty. Men who can deal squarely under
ordinary circumstances yield to the
tempta ton to get the best of bargain
when 1t is question of horse-fesh.
Hence it Is a pleasure to read the fol-
lowing anecdote, which proves the ex.
ception to the rule:
Two gentlemen Of Mars haltown, Va,
whom for convenience we will call Mr..
A. and Mr.. S., met one day and agreed
to swap horses.
'I'll tell you what, John,' said Mr..
A., 'if you get the best of the trade,
you shall bring me two bushels of
wheat to bind the bargain, and If l
come out best, I'll do the same by you,
eh?"
That's CO." said Mr.. S.. "and l low
you'll bring me the wheat"
That's as it may be-" retorted Mr..
A. But let 1t be agreed, then, that a
week from this afternoon the one that's
best suited, be it you or me, shall give
tother two bushels of wheat"
The week passed, the day came, and
as luck would have it. Mr.. A. and Mr..
S. met on the road about midway be-
tween their respective homes.
'.Where to. John?" cried Mr.. A., as
they stopped a moment to chat.
..To your house with the two bushels
Of wheat" replied Mr.. S.

Mr.. A., ''for was on my way to your

"Just. what l think of this nag" re-
torted Mr. S.. and then they had a
hearty laugh, and separated after ex-

time, was dry for six months. and yet,
under our treatment, she can be MIXED

bought COW that I picked out for a
persistent mixer, but she had been
carelessly handled and poorly fed, and
was dry three or four months. This
fall we wanted to dry her in time to
give her sixty days rest, but found her
still giving four or five quarts daily.
Much Is said nowadays about milking
continuously, If cows will do so.
l have had number of cows that could
be MIXED without difficulty, and oc-
casionally have done so, but have al

Covered Runs.

A covered run is absolutely neces-
sary for the well-being and comfort of
poultry. If it rains and SHOWS, they
must have shelter; If the fierce rays
of the sun beat down upon them, they
like to be able to get into the shade. If
your fowl-pen is small, it should be
covered over with roofing felt, boards
or zinc.
There is an objection to two-story
poultry houses. The ground floor may
make a neat-looking run, but II has its
disadvantages, and the main one is
that if it SHOWS or rains during the
day the fowls crowd under, and very
probably remain there all night long
rather than step out into the storm for
the purpose of going to roost in the
proper place.
In summer, the fowls would not take
much harm, but in winter one night
of exposure like. this would mean
death or disease, and certainly 1t would
not be likely to add to the supply of

up to date in taking care of himself. Some
sudden, violent pains crease, twist or con-
the nature of bad sprain. If neglected,
the creases increase, and so does the pain
until sometimes it is very difficult to
straighten them out, but by the prompt
use Of St. Jacobs Oil, the friction or rub

qualities of the oil will smooth out the
worst twist or crease and get thesmuscle in
natural shape, where it will remain, re-

in using it insures prompt cure, and when
the sprain is cured, it is cured for good.
