Water for Dairy Use.

The makers Of butter need to be
very careful about the kind Of water
they use in washing the butter and in
washing the churns and other uten
sils. We have called attention fire.
quently to the fact that much Of the
"off" flavor In butter has been found
to be due to the bad way in which
butter was worked. At one large
creamery 1t was found that the water
was being taken from a large tank
which, on investigation, was discov-
cred to be very foul. The discarding
Of this water supply and the securing
Of pure water resulted in very de-
cided Improvement In the quality of
the butter. The Ohio State Univer-
sity reports that recently one Of the
dairy experts connected with that uni
versity was called to Greenville, Ohio,
by creamery company, to determine
the cause Of the butter rapidly de-
teriorating. They had concrete
building, we'll ventilated, we'll lighted,
and clean. The water for washing the
butter was taken from well 1873 feet
deep, driven In solid rock. The water
was found very hard. The dairy ex-
pert had an analysis made OF the
water, and 1t was discovered that
there were eighteen hundred germs
in single drop, or thirty-five thou
sand in cubic centimeter. Another
well nearby was tested, and, although
this well was only fifteen feet deep,
1t was found that the water only con-
tanned two per cent as many germs
as that found in the deep well water.
A third well was tested, this third
well having been sunk to depth of
80 feet In the same strata Of rock as
the first; the water contained very
large percentage Of bacteria. This Is
contrary to the usual experience. In
most cases the deep wells produce wa
ter almost entirely free from bacteria.
The case in Ohio illustrated the fact
that no rule can be laid down as to
the purity Of the water supply, but
that each man must know for himself
that the water he uses is pure.

. al Little Farm Well titled.

" 4 r. Va VI Y \ II
n 1t is stated that since 1900 the popu-
lation OF Iowa has decreased two per
cent and that the reason is consolida-
ton Of farms to appease the greed
for more land, which has grown upon
many farmers whose crops have been
abundant during the past few years.
We have. previously alluded to this
subject, but did not imagine that It
was SO serious as this. 1t means, per.
haps, that great farms are forming
and that small farms are being alb.
sorbed and their owners driven to take
up new land In the Northwest or else
where or to rent land In their home
state from the very men who are max
ing landlords Of themselves. This is
a sorry state Of affairs, compared with
the old regime when each farmer
owned his eighty" or quarter sec
ton" and was content Herewith and
gave 1t such good attention within his
means and facilities that 1t brought
forth abundantly and fully supplied
the needs Of himself and family.
+ To be sure the disposition Of the
family was and Is difficult problem.
The small farm cannot well be cut up
into little holdings sufficient In size
to maintain the children, as each in
turn leaves the paternal roof and goes
to housekeeping. The greed for more
land is making prices too high Not
too high. perhaps, while banner crops
and prices are the order of the day,
but too high when comes the time
that is certain to arrive when crops
fail to a great or less degree for
season or two and at the same time
foreign crops succeed as they have
not done of recent years. These events
would cause a drop in prices as well
as shortage In crops and land ac-
cordingly would suffer, although acres
are always fairly good investment
unless bought during boom times at
fictitious values.
While 1t is partially true that lowa's
loss Of population has been due to con
solidation Of small farms into great
holdings, we think that the opening
up of new wheat lands in the North
west has been considerable factor
In inducing owners of small farms to
"let go" to the successful neighbor
who has had better success or fallen
heir to capital enabling him to extend
his ownership Of land. Every locality
has its unsuccessful farmers; mel
who are unfortunate, lazy, ignorant,
vicious in habit, or thriftless in char
acter. These people are ready to sell
out at any time, and such perhaps
have drifted out of Iowa to the new
land, where they fancy fortunes are
to be made by merely tickling the soil
surface. Such will not be any great
loss to district Let us therefore
hope that the diminution of Iowas
sturdy population will not lead to any
extended depopulation of the rural dis
tricts, but to an Improvement of meth
DDS and management to the profit and
satisfaction of every small land owner
who appreciates bounties and neigh
borhood associations.

ter. The farmer that has only few
cows and produces large quantity
OF milk In the summer and almost
none in the winter, cannot expect to
build up profitable trade. He Will
be able I'd. produce butter only when It
Ia cheapest and when there is a large
amount OF very cheap butter on tho
market. There will be then little in
'ducement for customers to seek his
butter. He will also be producing but

conditions are against Its keeping quail.
tiles, on account OF the temperature
being SO high that all germs multiply
with great rapidly. The farmer that
wishes to build up such trade must
provide for as large quantity Of milk
in the winter as in the summer. He
can then hold his customers the year
round. He can also make better
prices with them than he otherwise
would; for he can TX uniform price
for summer and winter. This, how
ever, can be done only when the buyer
and seller are willing to act fairly.
The producer must not try to sell his
butter elsewhere in the winter, be-
cause he can get a little more for It;
nor must the buyer try to buy else
where in the summer, because he can
get his butter at a lower price. Some
farmers that have built up this kind
Of trade, instead Of making uni
form price that will hold throughout
the year, base their price on the Ell
gin market report. There are many
farmers In Illinois, Wisconsin and the
neighboring states that have private
arrangement to supply their customers
with butter at several cents above the
Elgin quotation. One Wisconsin man
gets at least five cents above the FL
gin price and his customers are al
ways glad to receive his butter. That
is because he has studied buttei-mak-
ing for several years and always pro-
duces fine quality. His butter is
never "off" flavor. His customers are
willing to pay him more than the
market price for the satisfaction they
experience In always having high
quality Of butter 1t is at this point
that profit comes in having private
customers for farm butter. There Is
no disadvantage in farmer securing
private customers, IL he produces but
ter of such quality that it will bring
only the current price. In that case,
1t would be better for him to turn 1t
over to the corner grocer.

Timber on the Forest Reserves.
Information comes from Washington
that the mature timber on the Ma
tional forest reserves Is to be offered
for sale. This announcement Is In
line with the declared purpose Of the
Department Of Agriculture to develop
the National forest reserves by use.
The restriction formerly laid upon the
export of timber from the states In
which the forest reserves we're To-
Gated has been removed, and the law
now places no Limitation on the ship
ment Of timber grown on any forest
reserve except those In the state Of
Idaho and the Black Hills Reserve In
South Dakota. The effect Of this
change in the law, and the declared
policy Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, is that the timber on the re-
serves may now be cut and disposed
Of to the highest bidder. On many of
the reserves there are great quanti-'
ties Of mature timber, and on some Of
them the facilities for getting 1t out
at reasonable cost are excellent.
The Forest Service, which has charge
of the administration Of the reserves,
is anxious to begin the cutting OF this
mature timber as soon as possible,
and 1t Is prepared to consider offers
from lumbermen who wish to under
take such operations.
1t is perhaps well to call attention
to the fact that this announcement
does not mean that the forest reserves
are going to be devastated under au-
thority Of the government. On the
contrary, the distinct and definite pur-
pose Of the Forest Service is to i'm
prove the reserves by utilizing the
material that is now fit for lumber
In doing SO, it will also provide for
the reproduction of the forest and
the restocking of those areas upon
which forest conditions are defective.

White Knob Affairs.

Mr.. N. H. Clark, the superintendent
of the White Knob Crpper and Develop
ment Co., of Mackay, passed through
the city last Friday enroute for home
Mr.. Clark had spent several days at Salt
Lake buying equipment with which to
develop the Phi Cappi mines his COM
pany recently bonded. This property is
located about forty miles above Mackay
and is on the proposed line extension OF
the Salmon River branch of the Short
Line. This action is significant of pos
sible future prosperity for the copper
camp at Mackay. The railroad has,
from the ti,ue it's line was put in, acted
with this mining company and the ac-
ton taken in regard to the Phi Cappi
would indicate that the line may be ex-
tended at no distant date to connect
these mines with the smelter. The prop
erty is fairly we'll developed even now
and with the new machinery soon to be
brought into commission we may reason
ably expect to see the railroad extended
and bringing down ore before the close
of the present summer. The news of the
purchase of the new machinery for this
newly acquired property, coupled with
the fact that mining experts have report
ed favorably on this project, strengthens
the hopes of the investors in the Lost
River country, even though no official
announcement of future plans have been
made.
Mr.. Clark informed Republican rep
resentative that the Smelters would be
blown in sometime this month. This
news is received with much interest by
all who have ever been familiar with
the past operations of the company and
the history of the camp. 1t is thought
that no outside laborers will be needed
when the smelter is brought into com
mission as there is at present available
help to handle the affairs.
Blackfoot will come in for no small
share of the patronage that will be Great
ed when renewed activity settles down
over tnG List river country and the OK

popular cry that the city should have
