The cost Of producing pound Of
butter in creameries that average
about 10000 pounds of butter per year,
according to a recent report of the
Iowa state dairy commission, is 4
cents. In creameries producing $4,000
pounds of butter per year the cost is
"a cents, while in creameries produc-
ing 10000 pounds per year the cost
is only 1.85 cents. Some of our large
central creameries that produce 2OO,-
600 pounds Or over of butter per year
are manufacturing it at cost of -
cents per pound. These figures en-

Superstition of Devonshire.

Devonshirc is known to the world
for it's superstitious usages, which defy
all efforts to uproot them. To name
only one example, when a person dies
all the relatives must touch the body
or they will be haunted by the ghost
Of the dead forever after. A supersti-
ton not so local in it's observance is
that Of beginning no task on Friday.
The writer recently encountered a girl
who, receiving notice to change from
one room to another on Friday, insisted
upon doing it on Thursday instead.
But the most curious instance of super
stition-and this, too, is met with much
nearer home than Devon-is surely that
which prescribes that when, say, a do
nestle servant has broken a piece of
crockery she is bound by fate to break
two other pieces. So far is this idea
carried that the writer knows a case
where flowerpots are kept for the spe-
cial purpose of being broken to APP
pease the fates.-London Chronicle.

Dean Ssyift's Dinner.

A characteristic story is told OF Dean
Swift, who after a series OF expensive
entertainments in London invited six
of his hosts to dinner. They arrived,
expecting the usual costly surfeit Of
good things. They found the table laid
with piece of bread, bottle of wine,
a plate at each cover and a waiter be-
hind each chair. They took their places.
MIR. Dean," said the lord chancellor,
1--WE fail to see the joke"
Swift lifted his plate Underneath
were the bill of fare of a neighboring
cafe and half crown. He turned to
the waiter at his side and gave him the
money. 'Here," he said, bring me the
worth Of that in goose and potatoes"
The guests each sent the money IN
der his plate for whatever dish he
chose, and the dinner was eaten and
enjoyed.
Swift then laid upon the table f10O
and, deducting the three crowns which
had been spent, said: ''The remainder
the crumbs and fragments-is to go
to the poor. We all have had enough
money to satisfy hunger. You shall
advise me how the rest is to be spent. y

The Hindoo Mother.

The relation of a Hindoo husband to
his Wife is not like a contract sane
toned by the court of justice, but it Is
permanent spiritual relation which
binds two souls together. A wife is re-
garded, therefore, as true helpmate
in the spiritual progress of the soul
life Of her husband, while a faithful
husband is considered to be the great
est blessing in the earthly and spiritual
career of his wife. WheAshe becomes
mother she represents cfvine mother
hood and holds unique position in the
household.
A Hindoo mother is actually wor-
SHIPPED as living goddess by her chill
dren. The children are taught to obey
their parents implicitly and to serve
them like earthly deities as long as
they live. TO support the parents in
their old age, to look after their well
fare and to fulfill their desires are the
duties Of children in every Hindoo
household. But mother is considered
to be greater than a thousand IA
theirs. ''-Swami Abhedananda in Good
Housekeeping.

The Chief and the Missionary.

Once upon time great preacher
came to the camp Of the Muskogees
and had powwow with Chief Tune
chichee. The great preacher insisted
upon leading Chief Tumechichee to the
cross, saying: ut Is too bad to have
no religion. have and to spare. Come
and be Christian, and, 10, you will
be great in the land. Pray, and the
Great Spirit will hear you and grant
your prayer. You and your people
shall not want anything" The old
chief listened attentively and an
swered: Il do not like your religion.
1t makes an unworthy man too ia
miliar with the Great Spirit, and too
much praying may cause one to ask
for too much. Before you came to
my camp 1 and my people believed
the Great Spirit would continue to
take care Of us, as in the past, and
our faith is still unchanged. We can
not embrace your religion" So say

Wash1ngtOn's Birthday.

The first known celebration of Wash
ingtOn's birthday was on Feb. II, 1854
The old style date was still adhered to-.
This was during the lifetime Of the
first president and completed his fifty.
third year. The following is from the
Pennsylvania Packet Of Philadelphia
of the date of Tuesday, Feb. II, 1884:
New York, Friday, Feb. 13-Wednes-
day last being the birthday of his ex-
cellency General Washington the same
was celebrated by all the true friends
of American independence and consti-
tutional liberty with that hilarity and
manly decOrum ever attendant on the
sons Of freedom. In the evening an
entertainment was given on board the
East India ship in this harbor to a
very brilliant and respectable company,
and discharge of thirteen cannon was
fired on the joyful occasion" The OBJ
servance Of the day was not confined
to New York city.

Rightly Ma.l~s, { ca4, Produce
Butter of Eest Qualitx.

Rightly Nance { Ta1, Prod nee
Butter OF lest Quality.
Contrary to what some may assert,
the private dairy is capable of produc-
Ing the finest quality of butter that 1t
is possible to make, says American
Cultivator Indeed, rightly managed,
no creamery can fully compete with it.
The very method of business forbids
and prevents this. With large num-
Der Of patrons there cannot help but
be some who are not up to the highest
standard, and as it takes only a very
little cream that is 'off'' to defile any
amount, these of course must fix the
grade of the product The standard
is thus Inevitably brought down to the
lowest, or, at best, to an average one;
hence it is that the market value of the
very best creamery butter fuctuates
with every change in the general mar
ket, whereas the proprietor of an in
dlvidual dairy may have set of GUS
toners who are so we'll satisfied with
what they are receiving that they sell
dom care to note the variations in mar
ket prices, being willing even to pay a
little more as long as they are assured
OF getting the very best and having It
come at regular intervals.
Is not such business worth striving
after? Once secured, it is generally
permanent and allows the dairyman to
calculate with much certainty that his
income will no longer be dependent on
unknown conditions, but will be al
most as stable as any of the best Of
investments. The cost of making good
butter is about the same year after
steady profit from his business, like
regular income.
Such attachments are not arrived at.
however, by mere temporary efforts.
Rather there must be a constant care
exercised over the work from begin
ming to end. Lessons must be learned
and the information gained turned to
practical use. Good cows must be OBJ
tanned; they must be fed we'll and in
caring for them the most scrupulous
cleanliness practiced in every way The
work must be conducted according to
the best known rules upon which sue
cess is based. The nature of the milk
and cream must be studied and every
precautiOn against infection by i'm
proper feeding or watering carefully
observed. There must be strict man
agement throughout all the work and
any faults found eliminated.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1905-10-06

There are few simple points that
all dairymen should remember:
A dairy cow needs comfortable shell
ter in bad weather, plenty of clean,
nourishing food and kind treatment
every day in the year. If she is han
died roughly she will retaliate by caus-
ing the owner direct financial loss.
Her great, distended udder will not
permit of abuse or long journeys at a
rapid gait She must have tender
treatment when the milk is being
drawn and when she is being driven
to and from the pasture.
A dairy COW is taxed to the utmost
in loading milk with every element
necessary for human food, and excite
process Of the perfect elaboration Of
the milk. During rumination and when
secreting the milk the cow demands
unusual quiet and comfort.
Easy going management and tender
and almost affectionate treatment from
youth to age are most conducive to the
development of that domestic nature
OF the COW WHICH is SO UucH III ndr-
mony with country life.
While the kindly hearted dairyman
admires the marked features Of docil-
ity, gentleness and beauty in every in
dividual COW and his heart rejoices in
the fact that she is tenderly treated,
it is necessary that he study the prop
critics of the grains and grasses with
which the animal Is fed.
He should mix the food with careful
hands, and if it seem necessary he
should sell other dairy food in order
that he may purchase such feeding
stuff as to form a we'll balanced ration.
This sometimes insures the largest re-
turns for the least money expended.
The crops should always be harvest
ed at the time when they will do the
COWS most good and then fed with a
liberal hand.
The capable dairyman avoids the
ruinous effects Of COWS hooking each
other by removing the bud of the horn
from the calf. This practice has saved
the life Of many a valuable COW and
still more valuable man and has solved
the question of economy Of stable
building and protection of the weak
from the strong.-Cor. Farm Progress.

good one is that the Guernseys are a
great deal more quiet in their DISPOSE

They are not subject to diseases where
good care is the custom and are hardy,
vigorous animals. They are also easy

To Cure a Sucking Heifer

AS all dairymen know, there is nc
greater nuisance on a dairy farm than
a cow or heifer addicted to the habit
of sucking herself and other animals
in the head says w. Stenson in Amer
lean Cultivator. 1t is not only the loss
of the milk that is sustained, but it
would seem that one such animal
would induce others to contract the
habit. We have had our share of this
trouble with heifers.
Insert in the sucking heifer's nose
an ordinary bull ring. Just before in
sorting the ring slip on it two common
iron harness rings-of course the har-
ness rings are to suspend loosely after
the bull ring has been inserted. This
is the trick Of it. By adding more than
one loose ring the animal can in no
way prevent them from dropping in
the mouth when it attempts to suck.
Brass bull rings can be purchased at
almost any hardware store for % cents
each, and the common harness rings
cost but few cents per Dozen

An TriShman's Reason,

Sheridan LIE Fanu once asked an
Irishman what was the English of
"Carrigtuohil."
81 never heard any English or Irish
name upon it, only 'Carrigtuohil'
alone" was the reply
II know" said LIE Fanu, sit has no
other name, but want to know the
meaning Of the name"
'Well, now, your honor" he replied,
II never heard any meaning for it
only 'Carrigtuohip alone"
II know 'carrig' means dock" per-
sisted LIE Fanu, "but what does touhil
mean?"
"Well, now, your honor, it's what
can't tell you why it's called 'Carrig-
tuohil,' unless it's because Mr.. Coppin-
ger lives below there, in Barry's court"

Big Tailed Sheep.

A species of sheep in the east, COM
mon in Syria, is so incumbered by the
weight of it's tail that the shepherds
fix a piece Of thin board to the under
part, where it is not covered with
thick wool, to prevent 1t from being
torn by the bushes, etc. Some have
small wheels affixed to facilitate the
draggings Of these boards after them.
The tail Of a common sheep Of this
sort usually weighs fifteen pounds or
upward, while that Of a larger spe-
cies, after being we'll fattened, Will
weigh fifty pounds.

Dairy Farm Wisdom

Of the combination cow that he is told
will produce beef and milk at the same
time. Whenever the dairyman at
tempts to follow these two roads at
the same time the result will be q
road to nOwhere.-Farmers Advocate.
Clean the Milk Cans.
1t is easy to get the milk cans in a
foul condition when used to carry milk
or cream to market unless they are
washed thoroughly after using. Don't
kick if your cans of milk or cream are
returned marked ''Not Fit For USE"
but rather correct the "evil Of your
ways"
Kindness Pays at the Pail.
Cleanliness, kindness, regular hours
and thorough stripping all count for
profit in the milk pail.
A Profitable Cow.
Wisconsin man fed one of his
cows $50 worth Of feed last year, and
her pasture, feeding, milking and
stabling cost $11.5O more, making her
total cost $71.5O. But she produced
500 worth Of butter $3.50 worth Of
manure, 81 worth of skim milk and
calf worth S., making her total in
come STA.
The Man and the Cow.
If the right man gets the right kind
of dairy cows success will be his, but
when the wrong man gets hold Of the
right cows it is questionable whether
he will succeed If the wrong man
gets wrong COWS he is sure to fizzle
out in the dairy business.
A Good Combination.
The dairy COW and the hog make an
excellent combination. Not only do
they pay well, but they take their fer
tility from the farm. Let us have
more ''cow-hog' combines, and then
we will hear of less farmer farm-sep-
arators
To Make Good Butter.
To make profits with dairy butter
have the cream ripened properly, churn
at the right temperature, wash the
granUlated butter until the buttermilk
is removed, work the butter just
enough, salt with judgment and pack
neatly
Buying a Cow.
Never buy a nice, fat looking cow
for good mixer. First learn what
good dairy type of cow is or get
some one who does know to buy your
cow for you.

Ripening the Cream.

Well ripened cream gives butter or
quicker, higher flavor than sweet
cream It is more churnable also and
as a rule, is more satisfactory for
buttermaking generally. Few farm
dairies are equipped with all modern
facilities for buttermaking and often
tages which are extremely discourag
ing. In hot weather great care and
attention must be paid to the cream
that 1t does not become too sour. II
necessary it must be churned every
day.-Mrs. lockwood in National
StOckman.
