ceives big salary for her work, and
her hours are short, and her time is
practically her own. In the Wander
bilt mansion she occupies her own suite
of rooms, and when she goes out to
drive she has her own hanson. A
saddle horse is at her disposal. The
object of employing high-salaried
young woman is this. In the drawing
room there are rare pieces of bric-a-brac
that cost hundreds of dollars. In tiny
cabinet in the dining-room there rests
a tiny cup and saucer that cost $1,000.

An Electric Cow-Milker.

The applications of electricity are
now many and various, and the posi-
bilities of a still wider and more va.
rfed use are almost beyond concep-
ton; but probably few have thought Of
the electric agent as a substitute for
the old-fashioned method of milking
COWS. But our consular agent at Gems.
Germany, in q report to the state de-
partment, describes an electric appa-
ratus for milking cows actually in use
in that part of Germany. In this con.
trivance rubber hoods are attached to
the udder OF the COW. These hoods
are connected with q vessel for re-
ceiving the milk by means of rubber
tube, from which the air is exhausted
by means of the electrical device. A It
is claimed that the suction thus Sc
cured resembles very closely the suck
ing of calf, and that for this reason
the COW "lets down. her milk more
freely than when MIXED by hand. It
is also claimed that absolute cleanli-
ness Of the milk may be secured when
this method of milking is employed

4 POUND OF BUTTER.
Some Advice, Which II Needed, VIII
Produce a Gilt-Edge
Article.

In the official report on the Farmers
Institutes of Canada last year. the
dairymaids and farmers wives were
told-what they doubtless knew be-
fore-that pound Of butter contained
16 ounces; but when it came to the
Characterization of each OF these IL
ounces, we believe that most of them
learned something new. This Is the
way the ounces were described:
l. One Ounce of Wisdom.-Let US
show wisdom in selecting and demand
ing only the best.
2. One Ounce of Precaution.-We
will take the precantion to properly
prepare our utensils, and leave them
in good condition when we are through
with them.
3. One Ounce Of Concentration
Have your mind on your work and
you will make no mistakes.
4. One Ounce of Cleanliness.-Thia
Is the dairyman's motto, and needs to
he exercised in the whole process OF
ALTERNATING.
s. One Ounce of Determination
This will help US to overcome all difd-
culties.
s. One Ounce Of Preve1tion.-The
science of buttermaking is made up
almost entirely OF preventive meas
ures.
Z. One Ounce of Forethought.-
Which is needed at every stage.
8. One Ounce of Professionalism
are the requirements of the market for
which this butter is being made? we
will consider this, and develop flavor,
add salt and color to suit our Gus
toners.
9. One Ounce of Discrimination
This is needed to distinguish flavors.
II is also needed in choosing parch-
ment paper, salt, etc.
10. One Ounce of Accuracy.-By
making use of the scales we shall
know how much butter there will be
i'll a churning, and thus gauge the
coloring and salt, so that we may have
uniformity.
II. One Ounce of Judgment.-We
need to have good judgment in choos-
ing the temperature at which to churn,
and for making conditions favorable
for churning at low temperature.
IL. One Ounce OF Common Sense
If we use this, We will stop churning
when the butter is in granular form.
IL. One Ounce Of Patience.-We
must have patience in using the Their
mometer, in draining the wash water
off the butter, and in giving the sal,
time to dissolve.
IA. One Ounce Of Ezperience.-This
will help US in knowing when the but
ter is worked enough, and not over
worked and greasy.
Is. One Ounce of Neatness.-This
applies to person and product. and es-
pecially to the printing and wrapping
of the butter.
| 16. This Is the Ounce of Honor
We will do our best, use what is best
end give such weight that the butter
will be full 16 ounces when it reaches

FACTS FOR DA1RYMEN.

Use some good spray to protect the
herd from flies. 1t will save many
times it's cost
That frowsy, sore-eyed calf has NO
disease, it has lice. Give it a greasins
with lard and sulphur.
Wonder if your fnger-nails haven't
something to do with that kicking
COW? See If they are not too long and
sharp.
This is q mighty good time to looA
after stock water. A COW can't make
good milk out of the slusa Of the mud
puddle any more than q mill can make
good -four out of rotten wheat.
The wise dairyman will test the COW
with keen appetite and find out what
she is doing with the large amount OF
feed eaten. If she is returning a profit
on the cost, give her chance.
The use of preservatives in cream
shipped to creamery should be dis
couraged, as the preservative inter-
feres with the development Of the
favor.
The dairyman can rejoice in the fac,
that his farm is increasing in fertility
every year, even if he is only making
living at the business. The only pos
sible exception to this is the man that
produces milk to sell whole.

Actual Cost Of Eusilaee.

J. w. Lane. in the Grand Traverse
(Mich.) Herald, furnishes an itemized
account of what it costs to put up his
ensilage. He put in ten acres Of corn,
but only one-half, or five acres, were
required to fill his silo. Items are:
Flowing ten acres, SIS; narrowing,
81: drilling seed, So; cost of seed,
IS; cultivating, SO; use of land, $50:
total cost up to harvesting, $50; cost
of one-half, $45; filing silo, $40; total
cost of 40 tons of ensilage, SOS; cost
per ton, 1922. Estimating that 40
pounds per day is good ration for a
dairy COW, it would cost, from the
above figures, little over three cents.
AS Mr.. Lane says, no one who keeps
dairy cows can afford to do without q
silo.

New Jersey gives annually $250,o0o

cost, the counties two-thirds, and ten
per cent. of the counties share may be
assessed on the townships. The state
has apportioned in the last ten years
S1,5OO,OOO. The counties have spent
more than double this amount, as they
pay for bridges. surveying and inciden-
tails. There have been builded by state

had been applications for the improve
