The Cost of Butter.

A very close calculation was made by
writer, IF. 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 1t out on the basis that a
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 90. 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 n
total of S7.13, 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 a 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 a
period of 120 days, with ensilage used,
Is placed at 201a cents, while the cost
of milk per 100 pounds was found to be
So cents.

Covered Runs.

A covered run is absolutely neees-
sary for the well-being and comfort of
poultry. II it rains and SHOWS, they
must have shelter; II 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 ii 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 It has its
disadvantages, aud the main one is
that If 1t 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

Phnsnhnte for Timothy.

The wheat plant belongs to the fam
lily of grasses, and all these need phos-
phate to perfect their seeds, as well as
for the general welfare of the plant.
Whenever timothy is sown with any
grain, especially in the fall, no small
part of the phosphate used for the grain
crop goes into the subsequent crop OF
grass. The grain may retard the tim
othy growth the first year, but the
phosphate will show in the growth of
grass for several reasons. Timothy
roots do not run far. When the phos-
phate is applied with the drill, as It al

1t is not accidental that oats, the
grain which, next to whole wheat, is
best for furnishing growth to the mus

than wheat for all animals except man,
and as good also for man, If properly
prepared 1t is the large proportion of

Fuel Value of Corn as Compared with
Coal-Experiments as to the Cost of

Feed for Strength.
FneI XaIue 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
OBJ pounds of corn In furnace I'M
der boiler, and careful account was
kept of the quantity of water evapor-
ated by the heat. The next day like
full account kept of the quantity of wa
ter evaporated converted into steam.
The experiment proved that one
pound of coal VIII evaporate 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
121a cents per bushel. When coal Is
worth $4.S7 per ton, corn Is worth, for
burning, 9 cents per bushel; when coal
Is worth $5.41 per ton, corn Is worth
10 cents; coal $685. corn IL cents; coal

corn, the farmer saves hauling the corn
to town and hauling the coal home. An
other consideration, however, is this:
May 1t 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 1t to hogs; now
1t Is well up in price. 1t is not unlike

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review
af Trade.

of Trade.
There was fair trade in speculative
wheat the past week, the market being
subject to frequent but moderate
changes. The feeling manifested was,
on the whole, firm, though at times the
market exhibited rather an easy under
tone, the week closing with about &c
advance. There has been fair buying
of late by certain interests which has
led many traders to believe that the
market is having support from opera
tors who of late have favored the short
side, and no doubt this buying was
something of power this week. Con-
ditions of supply and demand have not
changed since our last review, and GER
tainly do not warrant lower prices for
wheat. Values may drag little lower,
owing to lack of speculative support,
but natural laws cannot be ignored
with impunity any more in business
matters than in physical life. 1t is an
assured certainty that American sup
plies of wheat will be more nearly ex-
hausted before next harvest than at
any time since the late European war
1t is equally certain that the amount of
wheat on passage will fall below the
| lowest previous record. Stocks of
wheat at home and abroad are being
rapidly depleted. That values should
decline under such conditions is one of
those inexplicable phenomena that
should invite rather than repel specula-
/ tive investment.
| Thomas Bellas, the most indefatig-
able compiler of figures in Chicago,
having bullish tendency on wheat,
draws attention to the visible supply
now, compared with former years. Mr..
Bellas says: 1.-The visible supply of
wheat in this country has decreased
from the first of the year, or during the
close season, 1899, 900 bushels, and
! should it continue to decrease only in
the same proportion till the first week
/ in May (and it is almost certain to de-
crease some millions more when spring
shipments beginl, it will stand at that
time 80, 493, 900 bushels, compared
with 5,458, 900 bushels last year at
the same time. 1t will be the small
est stock in the first week of May in
| twelve out of fifteen years.
