IL The sno Profitable.

There are still Il great many farmers
who do not believe that il will pay TO
build a silo. They have arrived at this
opinion not from experience, but from
theory alone. Yet if you called these
men theorists" and not practical men
they would be offended. Yet are they
not theorists: asks Hoard's Dairyman.
Professor Otis of the Kansas expert
ment station has been making some
very careful experiments and calcula-
tons on this silo question. He finds
that Il field of corr that will yield ten
tons Of ensilage per acre will return
$3.50 per acre. This shows whether

In natures great treasure house the

pared to it the great deposits Of coal,

dollars and cents, in mining and rail

while his primal necessities are limited
to food and clothing. Without these
all other tolS.ns Of ~ailiuence are void.
These indeed are the sources Of true
wealth, and the grass of the field sup

The cereal grains-whcat, rye, oats.
barley, rice and Indian corn-which
are the seeds Of true grasses, are con

cattle, sheep and goats and are trans
formed by them into flesh, milk, wool
and hides, thus indirectly providing
meat and clothing. They also protect
the soil from flood and drought and
landslide. Sending their fibrous roots
down among the shifting sands of the
seashore, they bind the unstable par

MODERN DAiRYiNG.
Striking differences cen n Old
Way and the New Way.

In no other industry has there been
greater progress turing the last few
years than in daIeying. The methods
employed by butterImakers ten years
ago will not now be recognized by any
up to date b~uttermaker, says Nj. Nc
gensen, a prominent Iowa dairyman.
The machinery is different. The but.
termaker who at that tine was gener-
ally chosen from the ordinary walks OF
life is now Il man who has attended
school for pcrfeeting himself in his
profession. Yet the Iowa buttermaker
of today ONE far from reaching per-
lection, and in order that we may keep
our reputation Of making the best but
ter in the country it is necessary that

maker should never be satisfied to fol-
low; he should always aim 10 lead.
Some years ago one of the leading
questions ut conventions was how TO
avoid notifies. This is 4 thing not fire.
quently spoken of now. The butter
maker as Il rule now understands the
mechanical part of buttermaking, SO
that he knows how to prevent notifies.
The question Of most Importance 10Y
is not how TO make the high and uni
form grade of butter that used to win
sweepstakes Il few years ago, as that
did not often possess keeping qualities.
quite different in quality from our fam
cy butter of Il few years ago.
Quality and uniformity are the two
main factors TO be considered by the
buttermakers at present, inc 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 n whole milk plant. but
not in n creamery run on the hand
separator plan. These various ideas
are not really true. We are able to
make n 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 Il few pro-
gressive creamerymen that II 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
%renoyate old. overripc cream or mill,
and make Il desirable product from it.
Therefore it is of the utmost impor-
lance that the milk or cream furnished
the creamery is in Il 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.
