Granada, Minn.-The creamery has been
shut down for repairs.
Sank Rapids, Minn.-The new creamery
building is inclosed and a committee has
ordered machinery for the plant.
A correspondents at Mankato says the
creamery is handling milk from 600 cows.

tubs.
A Bird Island correspondent writes:
The Bird Island creamery is still run
ming full blast. Some of our farmers
are hauling milk ten miles, and 1t Is a
noticeable fact that the farmers who
~patronize the creamery are of the best
in the county. There is no doubt but it
pays.

NOTES FOR FEBRUARY.

Cleanliness should be our special con-
sideration this month Fowls have been
housed for many weeks up to now, and
great care must be taken to keep coops
free from dampness. Therefore change
all the old WORKOUT litter for new fresh
straw or hay. On some mild, pleasant
day open the windows wide. and give
the house as many such airings as pos
sible.
Kerosene roosts, upper and under side,
every week
Keep your layers busy, and don't over
feed. Eggs are high, and 1t is now that
you want all each hen can possibly lay.
Weed out your lazy layers; make each
hen a producer.
Feed plenty of green food, and keep the
shell-boxes full. Green cut bone or lean
meat fed three times a week, will stirn-
ulate yoru layers.
De not give ice cold water to your fowls
at o'clock in the morning; wait until
10 or Ii, and then give them warm water.
Feed plenty of whole corn at night
when the weather is very cold.
Ducks should begin to lay this month.

that it would all rot and that 1t would

Nevertheless it was built round. and

one-ha1f of what it would cost to build
square one, and to say that I am
pleased with 1t, and the ensilage that I
am feeding, does not half express it.
There is not a moidy spot in the whole Of

months in milk and in fine condition, that
suddenly and without any warning ceased
to give milk. Up to this time she was
giving eight quarts a day. Will you tell
me the cause and what to do to get the
milk back again? w. A. q.
Answer-This often happens, and, as
rule, cannot be traced to any direct
cause. The chances are she will not give
milk again until she has calved. You
might try a cathartic and after 1t has
acted try to induce her to take large
quantities of sloppy feed, mostly wheat
bran, and plenty of salt, in order to pro-
duce thirst, which will call for large
quantities of water. This may induce a
return Of the flow of milk.

herd premiums are new departure en-
tirely and one I believe which is founded
on the right principle. 1t makes the herd
the unit of merit, as It Is in fact the unit
either of profit or loss, and it includes
rather the seasons operation than a
brief test for a day or a week or
month. In other words it is well calcu-
lated to show the annual preductiveness
of Wisconsin herds, and If we can Sc
cure representative entries from different
parts of the state the information thus
gained will be of ff1calculable benefit.

By the French Army on the March
for Fast Travelling.
New York Journal.
The picture of an army moving on
stilts is not designed to catch the fancy
of the romantic admirers of Tommy At
kins on march Nevertheless recent ex-
perfments In the French army indicate
that stiits may prove to be most prac.
teal means of locomotion, and that the
time may not be far distant when these
tall sticks will come into very general
use with armies on the march
Ecn-commissioned officers and soldiers
of the Thirty-fourth infantry regiment
have. by the use of stills, been able to
move at great pace. and to lay mill
tary telegraph line more rapidly than the
work could be done by soldiers OH horse
back
The soldiers on stills selected from the
regiment stationed at Mont de Marson
raced six feet above ground along the
banks of the Adour. They planted posts
and wire along the way and did the work
in the most efficient manner.
The Use of stills WILL however, be of
more immediate benefit to any army on
the march when fordable streams are
reached. The time used in constructing
a pontoon bridge for infantry would be
saved.
The peasant shepherds of the ''Landes'
have used high stfits for centuries when
following their f1ocks over marsh lands,
and the vast sandy wastes. So expert
are they in the use OF the stills that they
retain the freedom of their hands for
other purposes.
The problem with armies these days Ia

are watching the experiments of the
French army with the greatest interest
1t Is even predicted that men on stiits
may take the place Of mounted infantry.
and at the same time avoid the expense
and incumbrance Of horses.
The experiments of the French have
thus far been confined to telegraph lines.
but IL Is said that the use of stills for
other purposes win be thoroughly
studied.

PICKLE CROP SHORT.

According to the Grocery World the
pickle crop is short and prices $3.50 to 81
higher than last year. Conservative es-
Inmates place it at so per cent of last year.
making it the smallest crop in twenty
years. Pickle jobbers will be paying IS per
barrel of 1000 pickles, which means an
other dollar advance. Last year at this
time the price was Sc, and little later
S.. Still the present price is reasonable,
compared with some previous years. Last
year the retailer paid IS, and a few years
before 49, The cause of crop shortage
is peculiar blight, for which as yet the
scientists have found no remedy.

w1NTERING DUCKS AND GEESE.

In wintering ducks and geese 1t is very
important that their houses should be
warm and dry, but of the two, dryness is
more important than warmth. They will
consume more food if the house Is not
warm, and probably begin laying later
in the season, but this is not as bad as
a damp house, which gives them cramps
and rheumatism, or that which is enough
like it to be called by that rame They
should have plenty of dry straw in which
to sit during the night, and 1t should be
changed frequently, and certainly after
every wet day when they have been trav-
cling in and out with muddy feet. On
such day as that clean out the straw
and mud before letting them in at night,
and give a clean bed, and plenty of it,
then shut them in until morning. They
do not bear crowding any better than
hens, and need plenty of IN. Nor is it
we'll to have too many in one house, as
they will crowd together and be too
warm when the entrance Is closed.

BEET SUGAR BOOM.

The Boston Daily Globe has this to
say on beet sugar:
1t is said on what should be excellent
authority that fully twe-thirds of the
worlds supply of sugar now comes from
the beet. Certain 1t is that the produc-
ton Of this necessity is no longer con-
fined to tropic regions but is found
profitae e,y jewellers in temperate zones,
notably those of our own continent.
Some idea of the development of the
beet sugar industry of the world may be
gained by the comparison of statistics re-
garding this product. Before the seven
ties it is doubtful whether the production
of the Whole world in this line reached
1,Oo0,O tons yearly. For the present sea-
son the beet sugar output is estimated
at $4,000 tons-fgures which put the
statistics of the yield of cane sugar, once
so important, quite in the shade.

NOT SALT ENOUGH.

The gossip man of the New York Pro-
duce Review finds some complaint that
butter shipped there is not quite salt
enough. He says:
l have been requested to bring the mat
ter up again because the defect is still
quite prevalent. The receiver who spoke
to me about 1t said that from now until
spring about one ounce of salt should be
used to the pound of butter; he claims
that as the character of the feed which
the cows are getting detracts from the
favor Of the butter more salt is necessary
to bring OUT the flavor.

MAKE YOUR CATTLE FAT.

The present range In value between
prime ripe beeves of good weight and
short-fed, partly fat stock. is the widest
in years, being fully So to $2.25 per 100
pounds. This being the case it is simply
throwing money away to market cattle
half-ripe. Many of the habitat cattle
marketed during the past two weeks
would, with sixty or ninety days longer
feed, have brought at least 80 to rs cents
per 100 pounds more, which would prac-
tically be clear profit, as the increase in
weight would nearly if not quite cover
the cost Of feed and labor. The market
is glutted with habitat cattle, while the
supply of ripe beeves is not sufficient for
the demand, and everything points to
good prices for such for some time to
come-Clay, Robinson & Co., Chicago.

In the homes of many Swiss the cow
is treated as one of the family. In some
regions it is SO cold the beasts are kept In
the house, where they can be kept warm
by the stove. The cow ranks almost
before the sick, and before children. for
the whole family depends on one sort or
another of dairying. If an accident hap
