The Thrifty Japenese.

Japan has fortyseven postal savings
banks, in which, May 81 last there
was 45S,995,645 yen (S229,479,So2) on
deposit. Since the war began these
deposits have increased by 5,So2,5O4
ven (s0,651,2 ,252), deposited by 545,2G4
persons. This vast deposit by the
general run Of Japans population
would seem to explain the ease with
which each war loan Is subscribed
many times over when 1t is offered
for home subscription. Between April,
1903, and September, 1904, the num-
ber of depositors increased from
o934,3S8 to 4,1S1,293. This is a prac-
tical demonstration Of the proverbial
Japanese thrift.

vitality and very prolific That means

big germs all placed on a cob that

MODERN DAlRYiNG.


Striking Differences Ectween the old

In no other industry has there been

years than III dairying The methods

ally chosen from the ordinary walks of

profession. Yet the Iowa buttecmaker
of today comes far from reaching per-
lection, and in order that we may keep
our reputation Of making the best but

immediate steps be taken toward Inn
proving our system. An Iowa butter
maker should never be satisfied to fol-
low; he should always aim to lead.
Some years ago one of the leading
questions at conventions was how to
avoid notifies. This is a thing not fire.
quently spoken of now. The butter
maker as a rule now understands the
mechanical part of buttermaking. so
| that he knows how to prevent notifies.
The question of most importance now
| is not how to make the high and uni
form grade of butter that used to win
sweepstakes a few years ago, as that
did not often possess keeping qualities.
The butter now in highest demand is
quite different in quality from our fan
cy butter of Il few years ago
Quality and uniformity are the two
main factors to be considered by the
buttermakers at present, and for each
| step he is taking these two factors
should be kept in view and be the main
centers for all his labors Some think
that in order that such butter may be
produced it is necessary that the but
ter be made in smaller creameries,
where all of the territory is within
easy reach of the factory Others
claim that the central plants have adj
vantages over the smaller ones in man
ufacturing butter of that quality,
while still others claim that this is
easily done in whole milk plant, but
| not in creamery run on the hand
separator plan. These various ideas
are not really true We are able to
make high grade of butter under
any of these systems provided the
proper methods are used. Some of the
main factors to be considered in this
connection are the condition Of raw
material, pasteurization and the use
of commercial starters.
1t was once supposed by a few pro-
gressiye creamerymen that a first class
buttermaker ought to be.able to make
good butter from half rotten cream.
Later on experience taught us that
there is no method by which we can
renovate old, overripe cream or milk
and make desirable product from it.
IllerefoEe il is of the yltmost, impQr-
lance that the milk or cream furnished
the creamery is in a clean and sweet
condition and free from all foreign
odors. In order to reach this result
it is necessary for the buttermaker to
gain some influence over his patrons
SO that they will receive his instruc-
tons and feel that they are benefited
thereby

GRASS AND ALFALFA.

Milking Fine cattle
AT tile Pittsboro tlnd.l institute we
rad Mr.. j 4. Shirley Of Boone county
10 talk about alfalfa lie owns a hum
bred acre farm. fifty Of which are In al
fa1fa and fifty in blue grass. and his
business is the growing Of cattle. Elk
cepting i little grain TO calves III their
first year the feed is blue grass and al
falfa in the summer and alfalfa hay in
the winter. Mr. Shirley says he does
not like 10 plow, and he sees no use Of
doing so. He has herd Of Hereforsls
and produces fancy cattle without any
particular labor except that Of making
hay and feeding it. The scheme was so
novel to me for an eastern state and
the memory of criticism of myself for
reporting examples of success difficult
of acceptance by the uncircumcised
and nonelect was so recent that made
inquiry of Mr.. Shirley's neighbors and
others who know his farm, and they
say that this farm is run just as it is
represented
According to my notes OF Mr.. Shir-
ley's talk the story runs as follows:
Eight years ago he sowed one and 4
half acres in the spring where his
wheat had failed 1t was rich black
soil, and twenty pounds of seed per
acre were used. The next year he
sowed more land, part of it clay soil,
on which the alfalfa did equally well.
One year he seeded eighteen acres at
the last working of the corn, sowing
the seed ahead of the cultiyator and
covering it two inches deep. 1t was a
showery fall, and a good stand was got
on all except two and a half acres. He
has sown any time from April to Au-
gust with good results. There are now
fifty acres on the farm. and some of the
blue grass on the other fifty acres will
be plowed up and seeded to alfalfa. No
effort will be made to kill the blue
grass out by cultivation of crop, but
he expects it TO come in with the alfal-
IA, occupying the surface with it's roots
while the alfalfa uses the soil down be-
low the surface. Some grass and al
faifa are now growing together, dwell
ing together in unity and making choice
pasture.
While Mr.. Shirley is keeping his cat
tie on blue grass and alfalfa and some
mixture of alfalfa and timothy and is
growing fine Herefords for breeding
and for the block without grain after
the first year, it does not follow that al
falfa without grain will give satisfac-
tory results to others. 1t will to some,
probably: not to ALL His blue grass is
heavy, and that is a great feed. Lots
of the credit is due to the grass. But
we should see that alfalfa is less diff
cult to grow than some have supposed
AMI that if we can produce the five to
seven tons per acre that Mr.. Shirley
gets the half of tive have cheap
and Wonderfully rich feed. Alfalfa IS
to be grown far more extensively in the
states east of the Mississippi than it
now is. The experiments in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states
prove its adaptability to wide area of
