MARKETING BUTTER.
Best Time to Sell Is n. Soon ms tn
Product Is Rendx

Best Time to Sell Is n. Soon n. the
Product Is Ready
The question often arises with dairy
farmers who make and market their
own butter, shall l sell or hold for high
er prices? Butter depreciates from the
moment il is made TIL it is consumed,
under ordinary farm conditions; and is
always liable 10 fluctuations in price,
which are as often against the holder
as in his favor, and he is always losing
the interest on its value as loIsy as he
holds it. Holding for n higher price
is one form of speculation business
farmers have no occasion to indulge in.
II is true rise in property may some
times be foreseen, making it pretty safe
to hold for time. but when dairynan n
would not think it wise or safe to buy
butter or cheese to hold for better
price, he had better not hold his own.
The fact that it turns out tina he might
have done better by holding than by
selling, when his goods are first ready
for market, is not sufficient reason
for his holding a another time, for the
chances will as often be against him,
and whichever way it is, he must al
ways endure the losses from injury,
shrinkage, depreciation, waste and use
of capital. Therefore, us rule, we say
ii is most prudent to sell always when
products are ready for market. and most
so with butter, which is al
ways suffering from depreciation in
quality.-Rural World.

Monument to the Potato.

A curious monument has just been
discovered in the dense underground
of the so-called Brundhai. in the Upper
Hartz. 1t is granite block about seven
feet high. resting on n stone pedestal,
and on an iron tablet attached to il is
the following inscriptions: Here, in
the year 1747, the first trials were made
with the cultivation of the potato" The
German peasant at the time did not
take kindly to the potato plant on it's
introduction to the country. 1t had,
however, great friend in the king,
Frederick H., who was convinced of
its vnlue, but who was obliged to use
forcible measures to get the people of
Pomerania and Silesin to plant It. The
action of the Hartzers in voluntarily
adopting the plant was evidently
thought worthy Of a memorial, says the
Sunday Companion.

woodpeck.r. Are ueIpfuI.

There is no longer the prejudice
which used to exist against the wood
pecker as the destroyer of valuable
trees. which it used to be believed he
pecked SO us to start the sap to flow
ing. The work he does is almost al
ways on dead wood, and he only pecks
holes in that to find the insect that has
deadened the wood and If allowed to
live would ultimately destroy the tree.
There is no more valuable insect de-
stroyer than the woodpecker. 1t is
one of the few birds that stay with us
all winter, and its cheerful pecking
can be heard in almost any woodland
at this season. The only complaint we
ever heard against the woodpecker is
that he destroys early cherries. But
he has earned his part of the cherries
by previously destroying the insect en-
emies that would have killed the tree.

Hin. for Potato Growers.

As the potato is SO largely water II
might be supposed that it is not at all
exhaustive. But the potato crop is al
ways sold from the land instend of I've
ing fed on 1t. The only thing that the
potato takes from the soil is potash,
and this is largely found in its leaves
and stems. The tubers also contain
some potash, and II is this which black
ems the knives and hands of those who
peel and cut potatoes. A large crop
OF potatoes, 1t is estimated, will take
100 pounds of potash IN acre from the
soil. The best potato growers practice
system Of rotating grain and pota-
toes, and in this wny keep up the fer
tility without much difficulty.-Dakots

low to Secure satisfactory Results
IN Farm DniryIng.
From an article written by George
sampson, of the Sharon (Wis.) REPORT
.r. we take the following:
THE functions of the COW are to take
rour coarse fodder and grain and man
fracture them into milk. Providing
she is so fed that she can sustain her
oody and in addition produce mitk at n
profit, she is good COW. You know
here are any number of cows that do
lot pay for their keeping. but in this
age of progress we can ascertain be
sond shadow OF doubt whether or not
COW is a profitable dairy COW.
There are three things you must con-
sider: !. the quantity Of milk given; 2,
the quality-by the Babcock test; 3. the
length of the period OF lactation.
After having succeeded in establish
ing herd of good dairy cows comes
the important part of taking proper
care of them. Mich cows must have
variety of feed. as no one kind of feed
contains ali the different elements
which both sustain the body and pro-
duce the milk. We viii see later what
milk is composed of. and you will un-
ders'and why she must have variety
pf feed.
DO no; feed your cows before milk
ing. So many do this in order thu; the
COW shall stand better during the proc
ess of milking. You will ask why?
Most Of the milk is secrrted during the
process of milking and the COW must
use her blood in the udder. If she is
eating, this blood rushes TO her stomach
in order to carry the nutriment to the
differen, parts of the body. and the con-
sequence is that there is lack of blood
in the udder TO produce the best esults.
Extreme care must be taken not TO feed
anything that will flavor milk just be-
fore milking, as it will then pass into
the milk, but feed directly after milk
ing"

the cream will not ripen evenly, and

will hold water. In the evening (if the
weather is cold) put n starter in your

NOTHING that has occurred since he
became secretary of agriculture has
given Mr.. Wilson half as much gratiti-
cation as the results of the experiments
that have been going on under his di-
rection in Iowa and Nebraska in the
lation, for he thinks the discoveries
that have thus been developed are
worth 500, 900, 900 n year to the people
Of the United States The experiments
have been eminently successful and
justify the belief that the disease can
not only be cured but prevented at u
trifiing expenditure of money.
