THIS is a question great host OF dairy
men are asking just at present Certainly
the last two or three years have been dark
enough. With the price OF butter very
close to the cost Of production, there has
been little to encourage men 10 improve
their stock, to enlarge their facilities or TO
launch out 10 advanced methods IN any di
rection. With us 10 New York the cream
cries returned about 10 Get Is per pound
FOR butter as the average for the summer.
This narrow margin Of profit, If, indeed,
there could be said to be pr fit, has bad
the result Of csnsinR many farmers TO
abandon the creamery and return to deep
setting and her like processes, CAP
CONT at least til ee snch cases within the
distance Of o1e mile Inst year having q
good deal Of Other work to do, among
other things the enlargement Of my ice
house, | sent my milk to The creamery.
The return was highly unsstsfactorf,and
| shall not be likely to follow that course
again,
Three years age, when put up my ice
house, | bought IN improved portable
cresmery. WITH this could produce u
finer article Of butter ihau we possibly
could in any other way and we had the
reputation OF making excellent butter by
the open pan 81 stem The bnt,er made
10 this way We stored in our collar which
is good ooe, aud sold IN October st the
highest market price which was from four
to s,t cents PER pound nbove that realized
by those who sent thrir milk TO the cream
cry. Ny only trouble was that did not
provide for ice enough. Lat year !
don bIud the capacity OF my ice house and
am now going 10 let my creamery do its
best. THIS Is tie result Of oae years tx
peri-nee the public creamery
Another thing has come about with u
in Consequence Of tho hard umes. W,

Small Farms.

From, the Rockbrdge County Cva.) News.
little farm well titled is generally ac-
cepted as the ideal farm for making
money In Belgium it rs said that there
are farms no larger than two acres, upon
which the farmers prosper. 1t is not plain
that, with modern machinery, large farms
cannot in the ordinary grain crops be han
died with more economy than small ones.
There can hardly be a question, though,
that small farms promote more general
pre- sperity in a community, county or state
The more farmers there are the more men
are absolutely their Cwn masters. ana
masters of the acres they till, and the less
the number of tenants and employees. There
are more men that have a personal inter-
est in the fertility of the ground, and I'M
der the direct care of its owners il is the
mere certain to be made and kept fruitful.
Again. the more farmers there are the
more farm homes there are in the posses
sion of individual owners. Each farmers
home represents a dairy. hennery, an
orchard and truck patch, and the re-
turns from some Of them on a single farm
not fnfreQuentiy represent almost the
amount received from the sale of surplus
wheat On the small farm the farmer and
his family do the labor within and withou;
the house. They represent population
able to make the best out of both good and
had conditions for farming, and the aggre-
gate result, Of their labor make a land
smile and a country fruitful and prosper
