CONTRACTING BUTTER.
+. w. MOsELRY.
Clinton, Iowa.

How to Secure Good Average Price the
Year Round.
There is scarcely any farm butter
maker having reputation for making
a good article and living within a few
miles Of an ordinary western country
town who cannot find a regular Gus
toner or customers who will take but
ter the year around at a good price
which will be a good round average
price for the year, says the Homestead.
ALI that is necessary to make contract
ing of this kind easy is that the butter
maker establish a record for having
everything NICE and clean, and for pro-
duclng a quantity that is both good and
uniform The price that can be secured
in this way is always considered better
than the ordinary way Of selling to the
grocer or store keeper. AS a practical
question, it is sub bject to only one draw,
back, and that is from the side Of the
customer. We have known a good
many town people who contracted for
their butter this way and a very com
mon complaint among them was that
they always get their butter if the
price to be paid was little better than
the stores and groceries were paying,
but when, with the change OF the sea
son the price rose until the store keeper
or grocer was pay ing little above the
agreed average price. the butter maker
very commonly reported that the COWS
were failing and he did not have any
butter to deliver under the contract.
OF course. if one practices this species
of dishonesty he will find it difficult to
make contracts of this kind for regular
delivery, and a reputation not only for
cleanliness and good uniform quality
is necessary, but also reputation for
strictly carrying out contracts as made

POULTRY YARI
YOUNG CHICKS.

Young chickens must be kept grow
ing if the most is made out of them.
Young chickens being finished for
market should be fed separate from the
other kind of fowls.
Weak legs come from forced growth,
high feeding and close confinement,
but it is not necessarily dangerous.
Care must be taken to keep the drink
ing vessels of the young chickens clean,
or else sickness and general unthritti-
ness will result.
Do not attempt to keep too many
chickens in flock; more money can
be made from a small flock well kept
than from large number neglected.
If the est profit is to be realized
from raising early broilers for market,
it is very important that they be made
ready for market in as short a time as
possible. BrOIlers ought to average
two pounds each when sent to market,
and If they are kept healthy and thrifty
and well fed they will weigh this by
the time they are tt n weeks old. The
fet ding has an important bearing on
this Wnen first Matched they should
be fec every two hours; this should be
Kept up until they are ten days old;
after this, feeding five times a day will
be sufficient. It Is always an item to
feed noerally, to give all that they will
eat up clean, but no more than this
should be gwen, as it will only add TO
the cost without CORES bonding profit.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

Experiments in Europe with wheat,
oars and fertilizers showed that stable
manure proved to be a much more
economical fertilizer than artificial
potato manure. Artificial manures
applied to crops cultivated during the
growing season only proved remunera-
tive with copious irrigation.
The ash content of the sugar beet
has diminished under cultivation, since
a high sugar content corresponds with
a low ash content The ash content of
the leaves has not be en- il f1uenced. The
ash and nitrogen contents stand in in
verse ratio to the sugar content. The
potash content of the beets and leaves
was increased by an application of pot
ash; and corresponding effect upon
the soda content was produced by an
application of soda
In connection with the duty on to-
bacco in England, an investigation
was made by Fl. Miller as to the sugar
content Of the dried and green leaves.
The presence Of sugar in fresh tobac
was first ascertained by j. Nessler. At
the wholesale houses, twelve samples
we're selected from the original pack
ages; these were all of pale color, and
except the Virginia, Kentucky and
Algerian, we're known in the trade as
''sun dried" tobacco. The following is
liet of the varieties, with the percent
ages Of sugar found: Algerian, none;
Kentucky, none; Greek, q trace; Turk
ish, 3; Syrian. 3 8; Chinese. 8 5; Vir-
ginia leaf, three samples, 8 4, 72 and
8; Bright Virginia, three samples,
1915, IL and Is per cent A repeti
ton of the experiment confirmed the
above results.
In series Of fertilizer trials on the
Burdwan Experimental Farm of 81
acres, sandy loan, in India, in which
cow manure, castor cake, bone meal
and nitrate of postash were used, the
highest yields per acre were as follows:
Winter rice, 673 pounds; rice stra w,
6,377 pounds. from an application of
bone meal and nitrate of potash; and
jute, 1,721 pounds, from an application
of COW manure. The largest return of
sugar on six twelfth acre plats of sugar
cane followed an application of bone
meal. The largest yield of potatoes,
1900 pounds per acre, grew where
COW manure had been applied. The
potatoes were remarkably good in
quality.

On the other hand, the imported prod
ucts OF agriculture are limited in num-
Der. They are mainly sugar, wool.
hemp, coffee, tropical fruits and nuts
Any commercial system which will
increase with celebrity and extend with
certainty the export of farm products
from this country will be of utmost ad
vantage to agriculture and all those in
terested in it's profitable expansion.
And that political economy which best
advances the interests of the agricul
turists furnishes the best impetus to
the manufacturers of the United States,
because when the prosperity of the
American farmer is established by vir-
tue Of cOnstan tly increasing sales of his
products in foreign markets, normal
and legitimate protection will have
been secured to the American manu-
tacturer, for his best customers are
farmers and those engaged in occupa
tions which depend directly for profit
upon the prosperity of farmers.

be none left to be worked out. If all
the butter milk has not been washed
out, you can set it down for certain
that the attempt to wash it out will re-
suit in breaking the grain of the but,

there is noG much satisfact tion in always
pounding away on one string, but this
matter Of working butter-or woI king
it too much-is one that calls for line

fore washing out the butter milk, and
then in attempting to work out the lat
ter spoil the former. Not only that,
but persons who set themselves up as
teachers will rehearse such practice in
their writings for the agricultural
press.

who is engaged in butter making that
does not know how to practice the
granu ar system of churning, let such
person look into the matter at once and
become familiar.
