The support of at least 400 cows has
long been the standard set by the best
authority TO Justify community in
building creamery. However, some
creamery promoters have taken the lib
erty to cut this down TO 800. The stran-
gest part of it is that some people
take a great deal more stock in the pro-
moter's advice, which he gives with a
view of making sale. than they do in
the advice Of those who have no expec-
tation of financial reward and have
only the best interests of the creamery
business at heart. But after the cream
cry is closed for want of patronage the
victims do not again call on the pro-
moter for help, but ask aid of the dairy
and food department, the agricultural
school or the farmers institute to help
them perform the difficult task of res
directing Il dead creamery.
The argument is often advanced that
the farmers will not increase the mum
Der of cows until they have a creamery
started. This sounds logical, yet expe-
rience has taught that they can't get

as soon as a creamery starts; but, farm

out. If there is a good supply of milk,
all is well and good, and everything
moves forward to success, but if there
is not sufficient milk to make satisfac-
tory returns after paying expenses
many of the patrons become discour-
aged and instead of getting more cows
sell what they already have, and

Dairy schools.
Dairy schools are now in operation in
many states, and short courses of in
struction in butter and cheese making
are given at some of the agricultural
colleges
1t was long ago demonstrated that in
oleomargnrine and that good butter of
choice quality could always be sold at
good price. The fact has also been
demonstrated that there was much to
learn in making good butter and that
cleanliness and the proper management
of the milk were essential in producing
the choice article
There has been a wonderful advance
in methods of butter making. and oleo-
margarine is responsible for it. Con-
sumers viii not purchase the counter
felt article if they can get the genuine,

To Pasteurixe Cream.
On a small scale cream can be pas
teurized by setting the cream can in a
can of hot water and keeping it there
with constant stirring until the cream
is heated to 14S degrees F., says
Hoard's Dairyman The cream should
be held at that temperature for twen-
ty minutes and then cooled as quickly
as possible by placing the cream irI a
tank of cold water, stirring the cream
constantly until it is down to 30 de-
grees r. The great trouble in pas
teurizing small quantities of cream by
this method is the liability of cooked
flavor in the cream, to prevent which
the cream must be heated TO the above
temperature as soon as possible and
rapidly cooled.
The H1iIIzmnn's Steady job.
/ A veteran New York state dairyman
who has been in the business over half

always used ia. do his own milking.
His average for many years was not
less than twenty cow night and morn.

years and about teth months in the

The average crop of sugar beets
seems to be about twelve tons and the
average price received about $4.20 a
ton When the cost of raising the crop,
conseryatiyely placed at $35 an acre,
is deducted, there is certainly nothing
to induce any man with good corn

The revenue obtained by the govern
ment by the taxation of sugar, some
$36,OOO,00O per annum, is the nearest
to robbing> and depressing the poor
man that this government has ever
gone. The poor need sugar more than
do the rich. If this tax was removed
it would be possible for the poor man
to get twenty eight or thirty pounds
of sugar for dollar.

We find that aside from the general
misery incident to extreme cold wealth
err it costs one-third more to feed
stock and requires fully twice as much
fuel to keep things comfortable when
the mercury is 20 degrees below zero
as when it is 20 degrees above. In
this particular at least the southern
states have a very great advantage
over the northern ones. It is true that
the frozen fields of the north are ex-

We should think that poultry might
be kept TO very great profit in the

Young People Turn to Manual Arts.
1t has been decided to open an agri-
cultural department in the Mount Her.
mon school, founded at Mortified by
the evangelist, Dwight L. Moody. The
various courses of instruction planned
will be under very competent direction,
and the new department is expected to
become most important to the school
work. This is the first industrial course
established in the school, which is not
an institution of technical instruction.
and serves to show the growing inter
est in technical and industrial educa-
ton that is manifesting itself through
out the country. Young men and wo-
men are turning more and more to the
manual arts as a means Of livelihood,
and they are bringing to them the en-
thusiasm heretofore directed in eircum-
scribed channels. They demand an
equipment which shall make their
work science as sure as mathematics
and insure positive results, and to meet
these demands the schools and col
leges are opening departments where
such studies may be carried on New

The most marked thing in connection
with agricultural progress during the
year 1908 was the remarkable increase
in schools, reading courses, institutes,
the establishment of departments in
the papers of the country-all to pro-
mote a better knowledge of the science
of agriculture. So far as tools and
machinery are concerned, little more
can possibly be done to facilitate farm
work and cheaper the cost of produc-
ton, and now in very logical way
interest passes from inventive lines to
study and investigation how to pro
duce better crops and stock. This is
wonderfully Identifying agriculture as
a profession. The scientist and the
worker on the farm are nearer together
than they have ever been before. Old
Jake has quit turning up his rustic nose
at s'book farmin', and the scientist no
longer regards old Jake as a rustic lout
and clodhopper.

Every little while we notice that
some man well fixed on good farm
sells it and thinks he will look for a
better country and, after trying the
several gardens of Eden as set forth
by real estate agents and corporations.
comes back to his old stamping ground
and buys the old farm back at a good
increase in price over that which he
received. 1t is always best to rent the
old place for year or so and go and
prospect. You may want to come
back.
We wish to say once more that when
you give field a two years course in
clover you have done as much in the
way of renoyating and fertilizing the
soil as though you had put fifteen
wagon loads of manure on each acre.
and more The soil is in better shape
for future plant growth than if it had
been MANFRED as stated There is no
one thing of so much Importance to
farmers everywhere as to thoroughly
comprehend the value of clover as a
soil fertilizer. 1t is the law and the
gospel of the new agricultural dispen-
sation. Glover will prevent good soil
from becoming poor and will make
poor soil productive.
