THREE-CENT MILK.
Under Certain Conditions 1t Can He
Produced on the Average Farm
at Profit.

Whether or not farmer can pro.
1uce milk at three cents quart, de-
ponds, first, on the sort of cows he has,
says Hoard's Dairyman. A COW that
produces 2,325 quarts yields within a
fraction of 5000 pounds. a good COW
should produce 5000 pounds of 3.75 to
per cent. milk. AT three cents quart
the cash value of 5000 pounds of milk
is $69.75. With good farm manage.
ment such cows should be kept for $40;
we have then profit above the cost OF
feed of $29.75. The labor cost should
not exceed one good man to Is COWS.
There are several questions to con.
slider when farmers say they cannot
afford to produce milk at three cents
quart. Such as the following, for in
stance: why can l not afford it?''
rs it because my cows are too poor
in quality? l certainly ought not to
expect to make any profit if l will
not make a practical effort to have
cows that average at least 5000 pounds
year of four per cent milk" Am /
making any real intelligent effort to
keep better cows?" Have been study.
ing this question as a business farmer
ought?' Have l taken pains to breed
and raise better cows or have l depend
ed on buying cows bred by men who
know less about breeding a good COW
than | do?'

putting an iron pin in one end, insert
ing this in hole at one end of the
frame considerably larger than the pin,
taking hold of the handle at the other
end and using it as both lever and roll
ing pin Gig. p. The roller can be
round or six or eight-sided, and it is
preferred to have it diminish in size
toward the end which is furthest from
the handle.
The butter worker of this kind is
made triangular in shape, say about 20
to "a inches wide and sc inches long,
as shown by the cut. 1t can be placed
on the kitchen table when in use, the
point being over one side, and the other
end raised little so the drip will run
off at the point. But it is much better
to make strong legs for it and brace
them, as shown in the cut. In using it,
move the lever right and left and press
down hard. 1t will take some practice
to do perfect work, but practice will in
sure results beyond all criticism

WHAT MISSOURI WANTS.
tion to BE Proposed by Good
Roads Advocates,

At the Missouri road convention three
amendments to the state constitution
we're decided on for recommendation to
the general assembly. If the legisla-
ture receives them favorably they will
be submitted to popular vote in 1900,
and if they then receive majority they
can be put into effect by statutes at the
legislature of 1901.
The first amendment designs to re-
move the present restriction that state
tIxes for revenue purposes shall not ex-
coed Is cents on 500 after the taxable
valuation of the state reaches $9OO,000,-
900. The second ona makes it possible
for the state to appropriate money for
road improvement purposes and pass a
state aid law, and the third one removes
the present restrictions on counties as
to levying taxes for the roads. A bill
was also decided on for presentation to
the legislature TO establish a highway
commission similar to that in Massa-
chusetts.

RETARDING BERRIES.
How the Strawberry Season May Gas.
lily Be Prolonged from Three to
Fourteen Days.

The aim of many of our northern
originators is tossecure very late
strawberry, and9nearly every season
our attention is called TO new ones later
by small fraction than those of year
ago. This effort is put forth largely
because the southern berry now makes
Its appearance in our markets long be-
fore our berries blossom.
The strawberry season may, however,
be prolonged from to IA days by
the following simple method which the
grower can completely control. Make
the bed upon northern slope, so as to
lessen the influence of the direct rays
of the sun; plant the latest fruiting va
riety found to succeed in the neighbor-
hood, and treat the bed the first sea-
son in the usual manner, but in the
autumn withhold the usual winter
mulch. In February or early March,
when the ground is frozen hard and as
deep as it is likely to be, apply a heavy
mulch of coarse manure, and tread it
down between the rows. Manure that
falls upon the plants must be raked
off, as it will injure and may even kill
them. Then cover the crowns with
thin coating of chaff, and top off with
six or eight inches of marsh hay, or
where this cannot be obtained, with
clean straw. This triple mulch is to re-
main undisturbed until blossoms ap-
pear upon unmulched plants near by.
If the covered leaves do not turn white
the mulch may be left even later.
Enough straw Immediately over the
rows should then be raked off to ex-
pose the plants, which will flower and
fruit even two weeks after unmulched
berries of the same variety. The mulch
must not be taken from the bed, but left
between the rows until after fruiting is
over.
The advantages in this plan are that
the blossoms are protected from late
frosts that so often prove destructive
to the crop, and the fruit comes to mar
ket after the glut and commands higher
prices.-M. G. Kains, in Farm and Fire
side.

Fold it over and roll again, and repeat
until done. The reason this is not prac-
ticable in hand working of butter is
that more pressure is required with
butter than can be done by the unaided
hand. But one of the very best styles
Of butter workers Oknown as the roller
butter maker) is exactly on this prin-
ciple, the roller being on a sliding
frame which is pushed back and forth
over the butter, the handles being ar
ranged to give leverage Gig. y. This
style is not easy for the average farmer
to make, and for a small dairy simpler
style gives satisfaction. 1t consists in
making long and large rolling pin,
