from IL cents to cents per pound
The butter that cost only IL cents te

that made annually about half miE

The average cost for making butter
taking the state as a whole, was 2Z
cents per pound. Separating the
creameries into groups, the cost wa.
found to be:

Buying Feeds

6uyin9 fecoS.
A good many farmers make light OF
balanced rations and equally so Of the
constituents of the feed they buy.
They purchase their feed supplies
largely on the market quotations
based on a certain weight When
bran was selling at $500 per ton re-
Gently and gluten feed at $23.00 there
was a great demand for bran. Yet
the bran contained only about IL per
cent of digestible protein and the
gluten feed 81 per cent. Let us fig
ure a little. There were about 240
pounds of protein in the ton of bran,
and that cost SIS. This was paying
GA cents for each pound of protein
in the bran. The gluten cost $4,000,
but there was $40 pounds of it in
ton, which was a cost per pound OF
Az cents. Any man can see the point
and that the high-priced feed was the
cheapest when values are considered.
The above is but an illustration OF
the recklessness shown by many in
the buying of feed.
We heard of a man recently who,
when oats were selling at about $50
per ton, ground them and fed them to
his dairy cows. That was certainly
an absurd thing to do when protein
feeds in other forms could be bought
very much cheaper. The wise thing
for him to have done would have been
to sell the oats and put the money
into other feeds, thereby saving sew
eral dollars per ton on his oats in
addition to the cost of grinding.
1t is indeed true that, as some say.
"a man needs to have a liberal edu-
cation" to know just what feeds to
buy. But it is also true that the
farmer that expects to succeed in his
business in these days must make
a study of his business to the same
extent as the city business man has
to do. When farmers do that, the
sellers of feed will sell what the
farmers really need to buy rather than
what will make the dealers the most
money. Dealers in all kinds of goods
generally sell to the Intelligent
trade" the things that have merit, but
to the "unintelligent trade" they sell
anything that will yield a profit,
whether it has merit or not.

Maturino Meat.

After an animal is killed for meat
the carcass should be left to "ripen,"
or mature for some time. This gives
flavor to the meat. The great pack
ing establishments in Chicago have
reduced this to a system, and most
meats are properly ripened before be-
ing put on the market Many animals
are killed for meat on the farm, but
this principle of ripening the meat is
paid no attention to, the meat being
frozen at once If possible to keep it
from spelling. Meat that has not been
ripened is tough and lacks flavor.
A butcher says that after an animal
is killed he should be kept in tenn
perature of about 38 degrees for ten
days at least before being frozen

The Dairy Laborer.

In an address to Missouri dairymen,
Robt. Pethbridge said: Successful
dairying cannot be carried on where
labor is short, or where the hired
help is lacking. In my travels l find
this to be a great complaint among
dairymen that they cannot get help,
but 1 am sure it is mostly their own
fault, for l can name many successful
dairymen who have no difficulty in
that line, because they are treated in
a proper and business like manner,
such as fair wages, regular hours and
liberal treatment. He must compare
the dairy help with the city laborer
in wages; they will vary in different
parts of the country in hours of Ia
Dor; the city man has his 10 hours
daily and pay for overtime, whereas
the country man as a rule works
longer hours and no pay. for overtime.
This is one of the great objections
of the man working on the farm, for
1 have known by experience that
many a day 1 have been at work IA
hours in the field with a team and pre-
vious to that did the milking and
feeding of ten cows and four horses,
and then at night have to do the
same thing again, when / ought to
have been studying or taking some
recreation to improve my mind and
body, to render it better fit for the
duties of the morrow. Liberal treat
ment will do more to bring employer
and employed together, than wages
The giving of a cottage with garden
patch and allowing them to keep q
COW for the use of the children in ad
dition to the weekly wage gives the
country employer the advantage over
the city and more work can be ac
complished and your man can be re
lied on, which is very important. In
the hiring of labor, there are many
good dairy hands coming from Eng
land, Ireland, Germany and Scan
dinavian countries, who are glad tc
get a job when they arrive in New
York, and they naturally seek an EN-
ployment agency, and those who wish
to hire this class can make applica,
ton, and they will not be disappointed

The kino of Fruits.

The king of fruits is the apple. We
may talk of our orange groves, of our
olive groves and of the many varieties
OF our plumbs and peaches, yet there
are more apple trees in the United
States to-day than of all other fruit
trees combined. And there is no 9TH
er kind of fruit that it is SO impossi-
bic to overproduce. The peach crop
may be SO immense that thousands Of
carloads will go to waste before they
can be taken care of. But the apple
crop can always be taken care of.
The man that wants fruit for his home
or to sell thinks first of the apple, end
he does well. The markets of the
world are demanding it more every
year. The man that plants an or
chard Of bookkeeping apples will new
er have trouble in disposing of the
fruit. The world wants it, and the
world has a big mouth
For the home orchard, the apple is
the first thing to consider. 1t may
be planted In so many varieties that
its product will be coming into mel
lowness at all seasons, from July to
almost July again. Happy is the COM
munity that can raise apples, and hap
py are the men that know how to SO
handle their orchards that they will
give them a fair crop every year. The
great factor that makes the apple the
king of fruit is it's rich flavor. The
second great quality is it's ability to
keep for months when even poorly
taken care of. How the apple has
been treated in the past in the way of
storage! Shaken from the tree,
packed into all kinds of things that
would hold anything and stored in all
kinds of places, from damp cellars to
hot garrets! Yet, in spite Of that,
the apple has furnished fruit for an
entire winter, and when it consisted
of russets and Black Oxfords, has
been found on the table of the grower
even in March and April. If the ap-
pie has done SO well for US under the
worst Of conditions, what will it do
when 1t shall be given reasonable care
under conditions scientifically correct
for its long keeping?

From different parts Of the bulletin
we quote: 'It is very easy for the
men to waste the liquid, if they are not
careful. The men found the
wash quite unpleasant to their hands
and very obnoxious to the face and
eyes, and it became necessary for
them to wear gloves and cover their
faces with wells, which were made by
using plain strips of thin muslin or
calico. These were fastened around
the hat band, and holes were cut for
the eyes. Though crude in design,
they are very useful in keeping the
spray out of the face. 1t was
also found best to cover the horses
with thin cloth blankets to protect
them and the harness from becoming g
coated with the spray."-Farmers' Re
