NEW BUTTER MARKET
American Product Brings Five Cents
a Pound More in Berlin Than
the Home Article.

A cablegram from Berlin announces
that the other day in Germany's capital
city American butter sold over all com
petitors at an advance of 20 pfennig,
or five cents of our money. 8 E
When we consider that Germany has
been the most persistent foe to Ameri-
can agricultural exports, going so far
even as to attack our apples and shut
them out of her markets, we may see
in this incidental hopeful change. But
we may be sure of one thing-that but.
ter was sold on it's merits and the con-
sumers paid five cents more per pound
for it than other buffers could be had,
not because it came from the United
States, but because it was gilt-edge in
quality, pleasing in flavor and bore the
stamp of honesty and purity. :. E
This is only one incident, but it in
dicates great posi- bilities, not along the
line of oleomargarine and process but
ter, but in the future of the frst-class,
pure article, such as American dairy
men know how to produce, can produce
in almost unlimited quantities and at
less cost than any other people in the
world. What occurred at Berlin@wnl

Europe if we but keep our standard
high, and insist that. nothing but the
genuine article be permitted to leave

Producine Enrlv Peache..

49, E.E ~.
Mr.. j. HI. Hale, the great American
peach grower, is reported to have said
that he gets peaches two weeks earlier
by the followin 6 method: In the middle
of thesgrowing season put strong
wire around large arm of tree and
twist it fairly tight. This checks the
flow. of sap and causes fruit buds to
form early and in great number. The
fruit on the branches Of this arm will
ripen two weeks earlier than that on
the untreated branches and will Il be
much more highly colored. But this
part ofssthe tree will be SO weakened
by the treatment that it should be cut
away after fruiting, that new shoots
may come and take its place. Thus one
large arm or limb of a tree may be
forced each year.

THE VALUE OF COWS.
It DEPENDS on Their capacityz to Con-
sumo Feed and Convert Il
4$St i Into Butter Fat. 4EEs 8

The value of COW should never be
based on her size, as this. is poor cri-.
terion to judge by. The value of a
dairy cow depends on her capacity to
consume feed and turn 1T into butter
fat. The cow that cannot assimilate a
large quantity of feed can never be a
good butter COW, as we cannot get from
the cow more than we can get into her
in the way of those feeds which pro-
duce butter.
Last winter at an institute Ell. b.
Gurler said the cow that makes $50
Pounds~of butter can be credited with
a profit equal to the amount received
from 50 pounds. The COW that makes
300 pounds of butter should be credited
with 100 pounds and is worth twice
as much as the 250-pound COW. The
cow that makes $50 pounds is worth
three times as much as the one that
makes $50 pounds and six times as much
as the 225-pound COW. These figures
are not exact, however, for they imply
that the 350-pound cow would not eat
more than the 225-pound COW, which is
1000 pounds must have certain guam
tity of feed to maintain the vital forces
before she can turn any of her feed
into milk and butter fat. After this is
supplied the surplus she consumes goes
either to storing up fatin her own body
or to the production of butter fat. ~
/ Herein lies, the difference in cows.
One will not5e eat enough beyond the
needs of her body to make much butter.
Such COW is of no value. Another
will eat enough, but it is stored up in
the shape of increased, weight. 4 This
kind Of COW should be sent to the
butcher. Another will eat large guam
.tity of feed and all she consumes be-
yond her own needs becomes butter
fat. Such a cow is the one everyone
who makes butter is glad to get. Such
cows dairymen should try to breed. No
matter what their breeding may be they
are valuable ,.s ..@r Is -

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

v Do not change mixers if possible to

Color is subservient to flavor in good

No one knows what a cow will do un-

The milking qualities of a COW de-
pend more upon those of her sire's

In breeding see that the males come
