Prices for Milk.

From the Farmers Review: When
the roads are bad, almost impossible
there Is always much discussion as to
how they should be fixed the next
season. Now, as there is more milk
being produced on Illinois farms dur
ing May than any other month in the
year prices are naturally at the low
est notch. This should be good
time to agitate better prices and a
more regular supply. Our supply of
milk is shipped to the st. Louis mar
ket. | have noticed that the large
producer even if he was sending in
thin milk, the kind that comes from
Holsteins, was the man who got the
top prices. The question came to me,
II one big shipper can secure an ad-
vance in price why would it not be
practical for several small shippers
to combine" and secure a similar ad-
vance.
A few of us brother farmers united
and have since had no trouble in top
ping the market, 80 far as prices are
concerned. But this plan is not the
right one; few are taking advan-
tage of the weaker brothers. l can
see no way for the dairy farmers who
furnish milk for a city, to succeed in
these times. except to follow in the
lines Of general organization. This
should be the practical idea, and eff
forts are now we'll under way, so far
as st. Louis milk producers are con-
cerned, and the new plan will soon
be given a trial, as the promoters
hope soon to meet with the st. Louis
dairy companies and establish a uni
form price for the members of their
organization. st. Louis milk prices
averaged IL cents per gallon deliv-
cred for 1902 A 13-cent average is
promised for this year. The railroad
and express get about 2 cents per gal
Ion for carrying milk to markell.

Intelligence in Dalryina.


In an address to dairymen, Prof
G. e. Marshall of Michigan said:
The producers of milk in general
are not sufficiently acquainted with
milk itself and with those agents
which tend to influence milk. They,
therefore, are not intelligently posted
in those methods which will produce
satisfactory milk. Also they are
claiming that the consumers will not
pay for the extra labor entailed in
the production of first grade milk.
Farther too, there is too little COM
prehensive knowledge Of the methods
used in the manufacture of milk prod
ucts. You may chide me for max
ing these remarks, but in general |
am right in saying that they are true.
You know that every farmer cannot
produce milk at profit. You know
that one farmer will make 6 to 8
per cent on his investment while his
neighbor, living practically under the
same conditions, will lose as much or
even more. What is the difference?
One Is an intelligent dairyman and the
other is not. One is an expert and
the other is not. No matter where
you go or what profession you exam
inc, this same condition exists. 1t
is the nh who knows, who has the
energy to push his knowledge. So |
believe that he who is able to know
dairying from A to will be the man
who will succeed in dairying. He may
be depended upon to develop dairy
science and dairy art, for he Will ap-
preciate the value Of it and the rela-
ton of such to his work. do not be-
lieve that it is worth while to try to
educate man who is opposed to that
education, whether it is in college or
whether that education comes through
self study. The best way to cure
balky horse is to get rid of him. Time
is too valuable to spend in efforts to
correct him.

When the political history of Mary
land is written there will be para
graph or two for the McComas- Mudd
feud. 1t is now in progress, bitter
and unrelenting. McComas was a
United States senator until March
last, and Mudd is a Representative
in Congress. Both are Republicans.
In the old days, though, they were
bosom friends. McComas was the
leader and Mudd a follower. One
day they were dining together.
Sydney" asked McComas, "how old
is your boy?"
Sixteen" replied Mudd, proudly
MY, my" said McComas. 81 didn't
think he was so old, but, / tell you,

he said, when you want to do any,
thing for the Mudd family you forget
the boy and begin with the old man."

"Oh, how well can imagine
madame's hurry and Distress said
Cornelia.
"She hardly knew how to reach Lon
don quickly enough. But LADDERS
tale proved to be true. Her first action
was to take possession of the dement,
ed man, and surround him with every
comfort. He appeared quite indiffer-
ent to her care, and she obtained no
shadow of recognition from him. She
then brought to his case all the medi-
cal skill money could procure, and in
the consultation which followed the
physicians decided to perform the
operation of trepanning."
But why? Had he been injured,
John?"
Very badly. The hospital books
showed that he had been brought
there by two sailors, who said he had
been struck in gale by a falling
mast. The wound healed, but left
him mentally wreck. The physi
clans decided that the brain was suf
fering from pressure, and that trepan-
ming would relieve, if it did not cure.
Imagine now what a trial was be-
fore madame! 1t was a difficult matter
to perform the operation, for the pa
tient could not be made to understand
its necessity; and he was very hard to
manage. Then picture to yourselves,
the terrible strain Of nursing which
followed; though madame says it
was soon frightened and lightened by
her husbands recognition of her.
After that event all WEAKNESS was
rest, and suffering ease, and as soon
as he was able to travel both we're
determined to return at once to their
own home. He is yet, however, a
sick man, and may never quite recover

all but 20 came through the winter.
or those that did not get through
the larger part failed on account OF
poor seed as no stand was secured.
A few winter killed. Only one of the
nine varieties Of rye sown gives prom
Use. The area devoted to each va
riety varies from the small space CIV
en- few grains to over twenty acres.
The larger number are hybrids of the
best varieties in this section, and va
rieties that have been introduced
from other countries where conditions
are similar 1t is the object to watch
each variety carefully, with the hope
of finding better Weddings, and more
desirable varieties. Careful notes are
taken frequently regarding each va
riety. Some of them have already
shown great promise. The Macaroni
wheats are also receiving attention.
Five varieties were sown on sod last
spring, and in addition thirteen new
varieties have been sown, covering an
area of nearly 40 acres. Also 20 va
rieties of barley, and IS varieties Of
oats have been sown this spring. This
makes 230 varieties of small grain on
an area of $40 acres. The work with

Exhibition Ducks.

From Farmers Review: The prep
aration of Pekin ducks for exhibition
begins with the eggs they are Matched
from. That is, of course, if the par
ent birds are all right. In selecting
eggs for Matching l choose a perfect
oval, large and of a beautiful pearl
white color. l set the eggs under
hens, and l never had great success
in Matching duck eggs in an incuba-
tor. But after they are once Matched
/ find them very easily raised by
hand. They should be kept growing
from the start. l have found the best
feed for young ducks to be a mixture
of bran and cornmeal. The older
ducks are very fond of bran mash for
breakfast. They gather around the
tub at daylight and squawk for i.
until fed. For supper l feed them
plenty of good Nebraska corn. Both
young and old ducks should have
plenty of green forage and fresh wa
ter. They are also very greedy for
table scraps. In selecting exhibition
birds pick those with long, wide and
deep bodies, with bright yellow beak
and feet. The beak must have no
black specks, as one small speck will
disqualify. The tail should be wide
and stiff, the breast deep and full,
the neck beautifully arched. They
should be kept out of the sun for two
weeks before the show, as sun
burnt beak causes a loss of points in
scoring. The day before entering
them. l prepare two tubs of water,
bar of Ivory soap and a small, stiff
brush. l then take my best ducks,
making sure they are standard
weight, and wash one at a time.
scrub beak and feet with the brush,
and rinse off in the second tub of
water. When thoroughly dry, they
are ready to be put into coops which
should be supplied with plenty of nice
clean straw. The ducks look very at.

ready for exhibition and no one, am
sure, can hinder you from taking your
share of the prizes.

Creamery Associations.

In New Zealand the secretaries Of
the creameries have formed an organi-
cation and have held an institute. The
suggestion contained in the formation
of this organization will doubtless be
acted upon elsewhere and will result
in a closer drawing together of these
interests. In this country the cream
cry managers doubtless hold about the
same relative relation to the cream
cries that the secretaries do in New
Zealand. It certainly would be a step
in advance if the managers of cream
cries could get together once in
awhile and hold an institute. II
should result in a decided improve
ment Of the service.

Value of Barnyard Manure.

Few realize the great value of barn
yard manure, in comparison with 9TH
er fertilizers. In the regions devoted
to market gardening, barnyard ma
nure is found to be a necessity, If
large quantities of commercial fer
tilizers are to be used. In some way
it assists the elements found in the
manure, even though these elements
may be the same as in the manure
In Germany some experiments along
this line have given rather surprising
results. The greatest yields of root
crops were obtained only when barn
yard manure was used in conjunction
with the commercial fertilizers. The
experimenters there express the be-
lief that this is due to the mechanical
effect on the soil of the barnyard ma
nure. Another surprising result was
the discovery that even though a very
heavy application of nitrate of soda
was made, the plants took up less nj
trogen than when barnyard manure
was used in conjunction with it, and
! dressing of barnyard manure alone
gave heavier crops of potatoes and
turnips than when nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash were applied
in their commercial forms. A new
fact seems to be brought to light, as
it is said that quantity of nitrogen
taken up from the barnyard manure
produced more substance than when
the same quantity was taken up from
the commercial fertilizer. Just how
much the difference was we do not
know, but if considerable, it should
lead to some experiments to find the
cause of this.
The barnyard manure was found to
be less valuable than manure from
stalls where it had not been exposed
to the weather.
These experiments teach lessons
that are applicable to soils of old
lands, or such as are deficient in nj
trogen. 1t is evident that in soils
having an abundance Of available nj
trogen and humus the application of
barnyard manure would have little or
no effect. For it is manifestly i'm
possible to scientifically treat any
soil without knowing its mechanical
its content of available
plant food and its usual supply of
humus and moisture.
