CHEAP BUTTER MAKERS.

We are prompted to speak of ill adj
vised economy practiced by many CO.
operative creameries in selecting the
cheapest man for butter maker. There
is probably no other business where
cheap and incompetent men can lose
so much money for their employers as
here. Take a big creamery making
ton OF butter a day in June and allow
the product to be off just enough to
sell for cent under the market, and
away goes $50 into a hole. The butter
maker, if an expert. is cheap at 500
per month, for such man can save his
wages twice over. Brains cost money
but brains must go into the cream vat,
the starter, the tester and the churn
and are just as important as salt. We
have known cases where $40 month
saved on butter makers wages repre-
scented a dead loss of 500 each month
he made the butter.

COUNTY FAIRS.

The question Of how to manage the
amusements which custom has asso.
ciated with our county fairs is quite
q live one and forms subject for dis
cussion at many of the farmers insti-
tutes. In many counties the horse
jockey, the fakir and the Midway
fiend run the fair to the disgust of all
decent people who have the old fash
toned idea that the county fair 10 muin-
tanned for the purpose of advancing
the best interests of agriculture. 1t is
evident that the question of amuse-
ments cannot be ignored, for the ma
jority of the people want entertain
ment as well as instruction when they
attend. The horse race will always be
q drawing feature. and we see no
good reason why it should be aban-
doned when the business is done on
the square, the fact being that man
has got to be thirty-third degree dea-
con to deny himself the pleasure of
seeing square race between two or
more good horses. Those good people
who fear they will be tempted to bet
on the race if they see 1t had better re-
main in the art hall while the races
are in progress. The fakir-the ped
dler of useless novelties, giElcracks
and the like--does no particular harm
If he is charged enough for the privi-
lege. Youth and verdancy have long
felt wants, and the fakir supplies
them. The other types-the chap with
the shell game, wheel of fortune and
the hundred and one straight gambling
devices and the Midway fakir who adj
vertises varieties of human cussedness
for quarter peep which he is too
wise to give his patrons-are simply
public nuisances and If licensed by the
fair officials and permitted to operate
by the officers of the law should be
promptly "nationalized" and tumbled
unceremoniously out of the grounds
by the lovers of decency and good NOR
ais. We have long believed that fair
officials could increase the premiums
offered for the best things owned and
produced by the farmers Of the county
for instance, $40 for the best proper
ly attested milk record Of any COW Of
ely DlCCd vi lOI Tic DeSC IedLu OIL Walk
Ing horses of the draft breeds, SIS for
the SOW showing the largest and best
litter of pigs, $25 for the best single
driving horse, S25 for the best trained
pair of work horses, $50 for the heav-
lest calf 6 months old. $50 for the boy
under Is years of age who had raised
the greatest value of crops on one acre
of land, $25 for an old fashioned wres-
ting match between farmers sons, $40
to the boy who could show up the most
gopher scalps. So for the best made
calico dress and pair of overalls made
by farmers daughter under Is years
OF age, $50 to the draft team which
could pull the heaviest load, good pre-
miums for the best home smoked and
cured hams and bacon, the best home
made farm cheese, the best certified
acre of corn-the good purses to go on
those lines which would best promote
interest among farmers and practically
promote the agricultural interests Of
the county where such fair is held.

BRONZE GRASS AND RApE.

we again have several Inquiries as to
rape and the bronze grass. While we
have quite fully answered these in
quiries in former issues, we will do so
once more to inform new readers Of
this matter. Bromus inermis is a grass
specially suited for semiarid regions
and in our opinion has no place wher-
ever the clovers and timothy will grow.
1t makes good permanent pasture on
dry and sandy soils. the toughest sod
Of any of our grasses, responds quickly
to the action of moisture and warmth
and as hay has feeding value about
equal to timothy. 1t has place In all
the territory bordering the dead line
in longitude-the line where other
grasses fail for want of sufficient mois-
ture, but not where the average rain
fall is 80 inches and over Rape is a
new forage plant for this country,
though old as the hills in England. 1t
has much promise as late summer
and early fall forage crop for hogs and
sheep. 1t may be sown in the corn at
the time Of the last blowing or with
any cereal crop and be then pastured
after the crop is removed We think
that 1T has special value for all hog
raisers, and 1t is well worth trial by
all such. We regard it as the most
promising Of any of the new forage
plants. Sow the Dwarf Essex variety,
one and half pounds of seed to the
acre, either in the corn or on the oat
mr. harley field Tf soUn with cmaI1
grain, it should be sown about ten days
after the grain sowing, brushing the
field over with light harrow.

A gentleman gravely informed his
hearers at farmers institute recently
while discussing potato culture that
care should be used not to mix varie-
ties of the potato when planting. as the
fact Of fertilization Of the blossoms
would result in mixing the potatoes in
the hill. He was wrong. The potato
always comes true to the seed planted.
The polarization affects only the seed
balls, not the tubers. New varieties of
the potato are obtained wholly from
the little seeds found in the potato
balls.

VALUE OF BLUE GRASS PASTURE
LAND.

+ A good blue grass pasture, if used to
make beef and milk, will one year with
another pay per cent interest on a
valuation of SIS per acre. and the best
permanent blue grass pasture is quite
apt to be located on some bottom lands
near the streams and rivers subject to
a periodical overflow or be some low
lying tract too wet for cultivation in
crops. Such pastures are greatly help
ed by an occasional disling and har-
rowing and by the scattering of little
medium clover and timothy on them in
the early spring.

Try patch of rape this year. Plant
two acres of sweet corn and sow ~
pounds of rape seed to the acre at the
time of the last blowing. When the
corn begins to harden, fence off half of
1T and turn the hogs in. Let them alone
and go and lean over the fence as the
sun goes down and just laugh to see
them grow. Give them the other half
later on and then raise hundred bush
els of corn to the acre there next year.
