THE BUSINESS SIDE OF DAIRYING.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Some dairymen make good butter
and understand modern methods of
keeping the product clean, sweet and
healthy, but they do not place it in
the market that pays the best. I
have known quite a number who
have excelIed in the producing side
of the work, but who lacked the
business progressiveness essential to
success. One acquaintance was sell
ing his butter to the nearest store
keeper for Is cents a pound, which
could have brought double that
amount in Boston or New York. The
reason for his objections to sending
it to the latter was ignorance and
cowardice. He had heard so much
about heavy freight charges and dis
honest commission merchants that
he took IL for granted that he would
be cheated out of all he had. Now,
freight rates are some times pretty
high, and there are some dishonest
dealers in country produce in the
cities, but neither should prove a
bar to shipping a good thing to the
city. First be sure that it is a good
thing, just what the city people
want, and then find out some COM
mission merchant who handles only
good things. Some merchants have
a reputation of supplying the best
customers only with choice goods,
and it is worth a good deal to a pro-
Queer to get their goods in such a
firms favor. In order to do this it
necessary that the average of the
goods should be high, and then main
tanned there. A high-class dealer in
country produce will not acceptmany
excuses for a poor run of goods. You
may fool them once or twice, but in
a short time they will refuse to
handle any more shipped from that
farm. Now, as such firms always
get a few cents more for their goods
than the average market prices, it
is worth while to hold such trade. It
is much better to withhold the goods
that are below the average, and not
ship them at all than to ruin ones
standing in this way.
The business side of dairying needs
to be worked up as thoroughly as the
producing side. If there is partner
ship in the dairying business, it
8 should be conducted in such Il way
that the work can be divided up.
Let one be responsible for the selling
of the goods, and the other for their
production. Skill and perseverance
are required IN either branch, and
the trouble today is that many
farmers do not have the time to
study both sides of the question salts
factOrily. 1t is much better if there
are two so there can be IA division Of
labor. There is room for specialism
in either branch. Some are good
business men, sharp traders, but
poor producers. Others are experts
in farming and duirying, but they
lack the ability 70 dispose of their
products, and as "a result they will
some times lose money off the best
products. Q. L. ALLEN.

THE SUMMER FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

THE SUMMER FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The abundance of moisture is one
of the most deciding factors in the
yield of fruits and vegetables, and
after a farmer has done everything
that good culture will permit, he
must trust a good deal to the nature
of the season. There is no harder
trial to the grower than to find a
very dry season slowly neutraIizing
all the good work he has done. To
some there seems to be more of q
LOTTERY in fruit and vegetable grow
ing on account of the uncertainty of
the weather than is actually the
case. Any one who has kept abreast
of modern agriculture will under
stand that a good deal of our So
called culture of crops is directed to-
ward counteractlng the bad effects
of dry seasons. An amateur criti-
cises the old veteran hOrtlculturist
because he continues to cultivate the
soil when it appears to be in a per-
feet condition of good filth. Now,
if one will stop to consider a little he
will find that this cultivation is to
keep the underground springs und
supply of water in close and ready
contact with the roots OF the plants.
1t is possible under certain conditions
to save u crop from drying up by
good surface culture. The thick,
un~Cultivated surface soil is apt to
dry up and harden, and the moisture
in the subsoll will not come to the
relief of the plants. Notice in a
corn field where the surface soil is
we'll cultivated how the plants,
though they may wilt a little in the
hot sun, Will revive and look up at
sun down. The moisture from be-
low is steadily supplying them with
the needful article, and though it is
doled out sparingly, if continued it
will save the crop until welcome rain
finally appears.
The value of good fertility of the
soil Is also noticed particularly in
dry weather. Crops that have had
riCn soil to grow in and good Guilt
walton get such a large growth by
the time the dry season comes that
they can resist the drought. The
--o,1-o- nd 1oSS CE1rIu n1onfS GRO
always the first to succumb. More
over, u soil rich in fertility always
retains moisture longer than the poor
soil, and if such u soil is carefully
cultivated through the season the
water supply will hold out almost in
definitely. Thus u rich soil and
steady surface cultivation through
the season are not meant entirely to
feed the plants with rich food, but
to them for the annual battle
against the summer drought. So
we'll will this help at times that
whole crops will be saved while those
around are dying and drying up.
The use OF the mulch in hot weather
wherever practical or possible Is an
other guard against drought that is
we'll worth remembering and apply
ing. 1t is all Il matter of good Guilt
walton and forethought. There will
be times when these will fail to save
the crops entirely, bat the chances
are all in their favor.

Newton Enterprise This has been
a good year for clover, and we have
seen more loads of nice clover hay
on our streets the last week than
ever before in our recollection. Ca
tawba farmers raise their own hay,
straw and fodder, and sell a good
deal TO their neighbors. Most of
them also raise their own wheat,
Q and meat. In all this they are
wise. They also raise about as good
cotton as anybody, and they don't
bave to sell what cotton they raise
to buy food for their families and
stock. In this they are both wise
and fortunate.

DeIuded Wool Growers,

Advices from Cheyenne, Wyo., say
that wool men there are very gloomy
in the view they take Of the future of
wool. They find little or no demand
for the product. Prices have been
falling, and it is claimed that the east
ern manufacturers have the game en-
tirely III their own hands and maipu-
late the market without the least re-
gard for the producer The wool men
think there is no telling where the
present slump in prices will end.
There must be some mistake in all
this. The Dingley tariff is. still III op-
Grafton. Wool is still protected by
tariff running from 7 to II cents a
pound. How, in the face Of all this
atrlotism, prosperity and protection,
can the wool growers be gloomy or
imagine that there is slump in the
wool market? Was it not proven be-
yond all question that the electicc of
Mr.. Mckinley and the placing OF
tariff on wool would insure the eternal
prosperity of sheepmen? To say that
the sheepmen are not prospecting, that
the outlook for wool il diseouraging is
to accuse the Republicans Of sophis,ty.
10 charge the eastern manufacturers
with manipulation Of the wool market

say that the tariff helps only the man

producer. Every one knows this is
not the case. The tariff means little

A Nose Bitter.

Fridays Elko Independent con-
tains this mention of former resi-
dent of Mountain Home:
Reports Of scrapping match at
Mountain City last Monday be-
tween VIM. Billings and J. H. Peck
have reached Elko. From what we
have been able to gather, it appears
that Mr.. Peck has some very fine
mares running in the mountains
that are heavy with foal, and that
he requested Lew Eastman, Bill
ings and man named Anderson
not to run his mares when they
were getting their horses. 1t seems
that but little attention was paid to
Peck's request. On going to the
corral the other day where these
men had a lot of horses, he found
one OF his fine mares all covered
with sweat. A war of words en-
sued between him and Billings and
Eastman The next dav or so Bill
lings made threats against Peck,
which were overheard by one Of
Peck's sons. The boy told his
father Of the threats and he armed
himself and went up town. He met
Billings and after some words blows
were struck. Peck finally got Bill
lings down and Billings got Peck's
nose in his mouth and nearly bit
the end of. Peck got hold Of rock
and beat Billings head with it until
he loosened his grip on his nose.
Billings then called to a man bv
the name of Lomans, standing a
short distance away, that Peck was
killing him and to get gun from
the cabin. Lomans went after the
gun and Peck let Billings up, and,
stepping back few steps, drew his
pistol and fired three shots at Bill
ings, one of them hitting him in the
calf of one of his legs, making a
flesh wound Peck then left the
field to get more ammunition. The
result of the fight is that Peck has
very sore nose and Billings head
is badly cut up, beside the wound
in his leg. No arrests were made.

The Ordinary Sunflower.

The time is not far distant wher
the ordinary sunhower will become
one OF the economic and useful
plants cultivated in the west
When the people learn of the many
uses to which it can be applied
then they will begin its cultivation
In Russia, at the present time
the suntiower seeds are staple
article of diet. The Russians eat
them raw or roast them as Ameri-
cans roast peanuts. They are
sweet and palatable.
The Russians also use the oil
made of the seed for table purposes
as the Americans use the olive oil,
and the cruder article for lighting
purposes and in the manufacture OF
soaps. An oil cake is also pre-
pared from them which is highly
priced for horses cattle and poultry.
And this is not all. The plants
are often used for ornamental pur-
poses, forming hedges along path.
ways and highways, and when ma
tured are cut down for their stalks.
chatf and straw are used for fuel.
When properly cultivated the stalks
grow from two to three inches in
diameter and their fuel are as good
as the small willows that are often
the only sn11ran for fnal
In Russia the average yield is
from 500 to 1000 pounds of seed to
the acre and these sell from 81 to
1915 per hundred according to the
quality. The crop is reported easily
harvested and handled.
