L. D. UFFoRDs, OF SCRANTON
He Deceived Mr.. Sherwood, of Pres
ton, Wayne County.

"A short time before the holidays
man giving his name as l.. ID. Uftords,
Of Scranton. engaged Jesse, son of
Judge Sherwood, of Preston, to pur-
chase and ship to him farmers pro-
duce," says the Wayne independent.
"Uffords deposited money to Sher-
woods credit in one of the Scranton
banks, which account was to he used
by him, Sherwood i'm the payment
of the bills due the Preston farmers.
Mr.. Sherwood gave the farmers his
checks on tho Scranton banks and they
were honored TO the extent OF $50, the
sum that had been deposited to Sher-
woods credit.
Feeling assured that all was right,
Sherwood continued TO buy butter,
poultry, eggs and other things and
to ship the same TO Uffords in Scran-
ton. He purchased to the value of $3.50
and after having issued to the farmers
about 60 or more of his checks, dis
covered that they were going to pro-
test and that Uffords had skipped and
his whereabouts unknown. lie had
made a full thousand dollars or more
out Of the transaction and the further
success in his line required new
field.
Though he was under no legal obli-
cation TO do so, Judge Sherwood de-
posted a sufficient sum in the Scran-
ton bank TO meet the payment of all
of his sons obligations. OF course his
son was in nowise to blame. He had act
ed in good faith, with both the farmers
and Uffords, but the latter played the
part Of the rascal and deceived him"

submitted a proposal to furnish rs low
as the Racine firm a desk which more
closely follows the style used in the
Scranton schools. AS this firm is of
Scranton, at least ten members be-
lieve it should get the award.

General Purpose Cows.

The general purpose COW has been
under discussion for many years, or
since the development of the special
purpose butter breeds, the Jerseys and
Guernseys, have brought them into
prominence. The claim has many times
been made by breeders of these dairy
types Of cattle that there could be no
compromise between the butter breeds
and the essentially beef breeds, like the
Shorthorns and the Herefords So
strong were these claims that several
years ago it looked as if an eastern
farmer would be called a "way back"
who did not keep high grade or thor.
oughbred Jerseys or Guernseys for dairy
purposes, especially for butter. Western
competition, in connection with COM
paratively cheaper transportation, has
driven eastern farmers out of beef pro-
duction as business and they have
been obliged to turn their attention
largely to dairying. But thousands of
them are SO situated that they do not
want to make dairying an exclusive
business. Their pasturage, feed, barns
farm help and other conditions make it
necessity for them to keep some sheep
or to raise steers that will sell in the
local beef markets, or some young cows
to supply the increasing demand of
milkmen.

turer SO much to produce the outlawed
counterfeit that he cannot afford to sell
1t to the retailer at such low price
that the latter will be tempted to palm
1t off as butter because of the big profit
he can make selling it at butter prices.
Unless there is big profit the retailer
won't run the risk Of evading and de-
flying our state laws. Now he can make
as much as So a tub profit selling oleo-
margarine for butter.
There is no such thing as escaping
the tax if 1t is levied by congress. Large
establishments and capital are required
to manufacture oleomargarine. Viola
ton Of the internal revenue law for
feits these factories to the government.
There are only Ia in the country, and
they are not difficult to keep under sur
veillance.
Oleomargarine can be made at cost
as low as cents pound for low
grade. Paying 2 cent tax raises the
cost that much. The materials which
take the place of butter fat are oleo oil
(made from kidney fat of the steer),
lard and cottonseed oil. Cottonseed oil
costs about cents per pound, cleo oil
from 10 cents down, lard and grease
from 6 cents down, according to quail
ity. These are mixed in different pro-
portions and churned in skimmilk, as, a
rule, and the whole colored like butter
and put up in rolls and prints like but
ter. The cost of the finished product
depends entirely upon the proportions
and quality of materials used.

canadian cheese FACTORY Grants.

The department of agriculture of the
province of Quebec, in order to encour-
age the building of first class cheese
factories and the manufacture of first
class cheese, is offering grants or sub
sides, ranging from 800 to 5000, to
factories in the province of Quebec.
The conditions upon which the subsidies
are granted are down in little book
just issued by the department and are
divided into four categories, viz Those
relative to the construction of. the fac
tory, and to that of the curing room in
particular; those relating to the ventila-
ton of these rooms, to their cooling in
summer and their warming in the
spring and autumn; those which con-
Germ the general laying out of the fac
tory; those which relate to the manu-
facture and to other questions. The
book also contains great deal of infor
nation regarding the making of cheese
and the building of factories which
would be Of value to cheesemakers
throughout the province. Montreal

GROWING PROTEIN.


uA1rEmeM urged TO ha1Se WnNT
Grain They Need.
In an interesting letter to The Ma
ional Stockman F. A Converse of
New York expresses the belief that
more than half the money put into
grain for our dairy cows can be and
should be saved by raising the grain on
the farm. A farmer with silo never
needs TO buy. any cornmeal, as his feed
already has enough starch. What is
wanted, then, is some feeds to take the
place of the bran, glutenj middlings, etc.
What, then, can be raised to best take
the place of these feeds and balance up
the silage or the other coarse fodder we
may happen to have, such as mixed
hay, cornstalks and straw The an
swer to. the question, it seems TO me, is
to raise oats and peas.
I have tried several ways Of raising
this crop and will describe the one
most successful. Our rotation of crops
is ~ clover, (9) corn for the silo, (3)
potatoes, a. oats and peas.
After the potatoes are dug rye should
be,sown to keep the ground covered dur
ing the winter with growing crop. AS
early as possible in the spring plow this
rye under and fit the land thoroughly
for the oats and peas.
Mix the seed, one bushel of White
Canada peas to two bushels of oats, and
put on az to bushels of the mixture
per acre, drilling it in rather deeply
Three bushels of seed per acre should
be used only where the land is very
fertile and we'll cultivated. After the
grain is sowed roll theHield or go over
it with "clod crusher," followed with
aweeder or smoothing harrow. Never
leave piece of grain just as the roller
leaves it; always "roughen'' lit to hold
the moisture. Go through the oats and
peas once week with the weeder until
they get-so high you must stop. This
will hasten the ripening Of. the grain,
keep down the weeds especially wild
mustard, besides increasing the fertility
by cultivation.
Just as the top oat begins to turn cut
the crop with moving machine and
cure as you would hay. The advantages
Of the early cutting are The straw is
worth as much as timothy hay to feed,
the peas will not shell in moving and
raking, and the grain cut thus early
will fill out and be as plump and weigh
more pounds to the bushel than it will
If allowed to stand. and mature before
harvesting. The grain is cut SO green
it cannot be cured out if cut with a
binder, but with mower it can be
treated exactly as you would treat hay.
When dry. it Is ready to be thrashed.

Rest Gravity Crenming.

Although the creamery system is fast
gaining ground in all dairy districts,
says The National Stockman, still it is
fact that very large proportion of
the butter made is made in private
diaries and by the gravity system of
Dreaming. By this method large per-
centage of the butter fat Is lost in the
skimmilk. This loss may be reduced to
the minimum by bearing in mind the
following facts as applying to gravity
Dreaming:
First. Cream rises best in falling
temperature.
Second. Milk containing large fat
globules throws up its cream more rap
idly and more completely than milk
whose fat globules are small.
Third. Milk which has been cooled
before setting throws up it's cream more
incompletely.
Fourth. The percentage of fat in
cream raised by gravitation increases
with the temperature at which the milk
is. set up to 80 degrees.
Fifth. The percentage of fat in
cream raised by deep setting and the
butter made from it increases as the
temperature of medium in which the
milk is set falls, taking 80 degrees as
the limit.
dorothy Tucker Writes 10 I-arin Jour-
nal as follows:
Don't.make the mistake of. thinking
shat large COW necessarily makes the
most butter It lis great error.
In the first place it takes much more
to maintain the large cow and in the
second place she will probably not give
any more or even as much in return as
the smaller animal
II you have an extra good dairy cow,
you must remember that she is nsces-
sarily very highly organized.
She may be compared to machine
running at high speed and doing great
work. All parts must be closely watch
ed, everything must be kept in perfect
condition, or the breaking down Of the
whole thing will be- the result.
So it is with our best-cows. They are
not like the old no purpose COW, with
little or no nervous system or high de-
velopment. Great care must be given
them at calying time, which is crit
ical period.
Allow no shocks or nervous excite
ment.
Keep the bowls open to avoid fe-
verish condition.
Cut down on all heavy feeds for two
or three weeks before calving.
Give plenty of wheat bran with a
small quantity of oilmeal.
After calying come up to full feed
very gradually, avoiding sudden changes
Of all kinds. In fact, give her every care
and attention that you would one Of
your own family.
Keep her warm Warmth will double
the yield Of a COW on the same feed as
aomnared with cold.

Organized Effort to Secure q 10 Cent
Tax.
The National Dairy union is an or
ganization composed Of those who are
interested in dairying and was the out
growth of the necessity of some kind of
an influence to check the inroads of
fraudulent limitations which threatened
a few years ago, as they threaten now,
to displace SO much pure butter as to
make the keeping of COWS improbable.
Through the efforts of this organization
the national filled cheese law was se-
cured, and many state laws were OBJ,
tanned forbidding the sale of oleomar-
garine when colored to resemble butter.
The union is now endeavoring to secure
government tax of 10 cents pound
upon the yellow product
The object of the 10 cent tax on yell
low oleomargarine, says Hoods Dairy
man, is to make it cost the manufac-
