Senator Buttons friends are stating
today that the action of the Clay Center

him mentioning his n3me in its reso-

In fact, he told some of his friends on
his way to Clay Center that he expected
no endorsement, because the convention
was largely in the control of his po-

have his friends make a fight for an
endorsement as long as he is not a can

Increase Of Silos.

Reports from New York say that
good many new silos are being erected
in that state. The farmers are COM
ing to appreciate the advantages OF
having on hand a good supply of nu-
tritious feed at all times of the year.
The drouth of last year that so serl-
ously cut short the summer pastures
was a lesson to those that are willing
to trust to luck whether they have
anything for their cows ID eat or not
The silo is an insurance against short
supplies of feed. One of the great ad-
vantages of it is that a rood crop one
year may be stored and held over for
years without detriment to its feeding
quality. AS the use Of silos becomes
more general we will have more and
more the practice OF storing for years
in advance of need. In this way the
feeder may render himself indepen-
dent of the accidents Of weather, and
the supply of dairy products will be-
come uniform. AS it is at the present
time only the best managed diaries
have abundant feed the year round.

Profit.sharina Creamery.

The Continental CreaT cry of Kan
sas, one of the la, sest situations of
it's kind in the world has adopted
what it calls the proft-sharing plan.
To a newspaper man that interviewed
the president of the company he said:
Our profit-sharing plan inaugurated
since Jan. / is rapidly proving itself
an unqualified success. The more gen
orally j. is understood the more popu
lar it becomes. The plan is very sim
pie. The prices we pay for butter-fat
are absolutely out of our hands. We
have arranged matters so We cannot
control the price. We base the price
every day upon the New York market,
paying always two and one-half cents
less than the quoted price.
Then we ask the patron to pay the
actual running expenses OF the skim
ming station. This expense runs from
one-half cent to five cents per pound,
according to the amount Of milk re-
ceived at the station. 1t takes about
the same labor and expense to manu-
factr-e 10000 pounds of butter as it
does TO make 100000 pounds. If We re-
ceive 10000 pounds OF milk per day at
a station it takes little more labor and
expense to handle it than il we we're
receiving 1000. So the running ex-
pensS Of the station is in the hands of
the patrons. They get all the profit
gained by the greater quantity OF milk
received; there is a corresponding de-
crease in the cost per round for hand
ling and the patron gets all the saw
| ing.
Where a permanent hog pasture is
not to be had good substitute may be
| had by sowing q field Of rape.

Do Not Market Bad EGGS.

Every farmer that sends or takes
eggs to market should test or candle
his eggs before disposing Of them.
This will prevent putting on the mar
ket bad eggs. There are many ways
Of Gambling them. One of these
ways is to roll up a piece of heavy
paper into the form Of tube. Place
an egg in one end and permit the light
of the sun or of a lamp to shine
through the egg. The eye at one end
of the tube will be able to see through
the egg and determine the condition
of it's contents. If the contents OF the
egg appear cloudy or blurred the egg
is not fit to go to market. Good eggs
present to the eye contents that are
clear and translucent. Bad eggs de-
press the market. After people have
gotten hold of one or two bad eggs
they turn to other kinds of food and
cease to buy eggs. If only good eggs
were sold at all seasons the con-
sumption of eggs would be enormously
increased Especially If the farmer
have private customers is it foolish
70 market eggs that have not been
candled There is nothing that will build
I'D private custom like always CIV
ing absolutely perfect eggs and there
a private trade as few bad eggs scat
tered through the lots sold. Guess
work need not enter into this matter
as Gambling is entirely feasible and
can be rapidly performed.

Non-Paying Cows.

The dairy commissioner Of Mime
sofa says that rs per cent of the cows
in that state do not pay for their feed
and that they should be sent to the
butcher as soon as possible. The sad
part of this is that the owners of those
cows do not know that they are not
paying for their feed, but keep them
in the belief that they are doing some
thing to increase Lhe profits. Many
and many a man has been bankrupted
by the cows he has kept. The trouble
has been that there was no way the
owner could know what was being
done by his COWS, ill the Babcock test
came into use. Since that time the
great factor that prevents its use IL
negligence. 1t takes q great deal of
hammering to get even . single new
idea into the heads Of some men.

Seed Testing.

s II . farmer believes he can not at
ford to grow and select his own seed,
he surely can determine its value be-
fore seeding. If he will take an ordi-
nary dinner plate, put little sand in
it and moisten the same, count out
100 or $50 seeds Of the various grasses
ana clovers, put in separate plates
and invert other plates over the ones
containing the sand and let them
stand at the temperature Of the living
room for several days being sure that
the sand is kept moist, he can readily
determine how much of this seed will
terminate and whether it is worth
his while to SOW it. Seed testing is
such q simple process that it is sur
prising that every farmer does not
give more attention to it. especially
when It is SO very important. Though
the experiment station has tried to
use discretion in the purchase Of seeds
1t has been found that many samples
sent us would not show Is per cent OF
termination; some went below this.
while very few came up to fair
standard. 1t is the lack Of vitality
that should be guarded against as it
causes an appalling waste Of money,
not to speak Of the annoyance which
could be prevented by making ger
mination test of the seed before they
are purchased or only buying them on
. the guarantee that they show a certain
denomination test.-Seed Testing.

pajrvina Improves Farms.

It is an undeniable fact that dairy
ing improves the farms on which 1t Is
carried on correctly. The best way to
increase the value OF f--n Is to put
live stock on it. This the dairyman
does. If he sells butter and feeds the
milk on the farm the conditions must
improve from year to year. There Is,
however, q way to run down a farm
ever when dairying is carried on on
it. That way is to grow timothy TOT
the COWS and sell the milk to the city
milk peddlers. There will be con-
slant removal of the elements needed
in the soil, and the farm, instead OF
being improved, will become impover-
ished There are many farms now In
the vicinity of Chicago that are now
undergoing this experience. There are
on the other hand, farms on which are
kept more cows than can be fed from
the crops grown on the area. To IN
crease the feed, concentrated foods are
purchased and the droppings from the
cattle are constantly put upon the
land. Even if no foods are purchased
there should be a betterment OF the
land from year to rear II the manures
are returned to the soil and incorpor-
ated with it before they have lost any
thing from evaporation or teaching.
The process Of food elaboration is 60
ing on in the soil from year to year,
and if the annual draft on the soil is
not large the land will not retrograde.
Natures plan, however, is for all fer
tility to go back to the land, and she
has not planned to have the fertility
in any one field taken away year after
year and nothing returned in its place.
The man that attempts that is in a
manner bankrupting himself as he is
constantly using up the capital stored
in his fields.
