Dairy Dots.

Milk is suggested as good es-
tinguishing agent for burning pc
troleum. 1t forms an emulsion
with the oil and by distributing its
cohesion attenuates the combustible
element as water can not.
In Germany, Belgium, Norway,
Sweden and other European coun-
tries women do part or all of the
milking, but to milk a COW is an
accomplishment that but few Ameri-
can girls have mastered. The dairy
man finds his business every year
more difficult to operate, and in
many instances is compelled to
change the dairy to some other sys-
tenn Of agriculture. The past sea
son witnessed large shrinkage of
dairy products, and further contrac-
ton is anticipated until farmers can
obtain efficient help to assist in
managing cows.
The story is told of a Wisconsin
cheese factory to which a number Of
farmers were bringing every day
enough milk to produce 600 pounds
of cheese, which was supposed to be
of the highest grade. Suddenly the
grade Of the output fell to No. 2,
which sold at 3 cents pound less,
resulting in loss of SIS a day to
the eleven farmers supplying the
factory. The curd test was applied.
1t was found that the defective milk
came from one of the eleven herds.
A test of the milk of all the COWS in
that herd proved that the bad milk
came from single COW, which was
suffering from disease Of one hoof.
The cow was removed from the herd
and the factory resumed producing
No. l cheese. The cost Of the test
was 50. 1t stopped loss Of SIS a
day.
The cooking teacher indicated
with her wand two dishes, each con-
tanning pat of golden butter. "One
is butter" she said. "rhe other is
oleo. I want to show you simple
and conclusive test for oleo-an
easy way of distinguishing oleo and
butter unmistakably. Then you
need never again be cheated" Shs
put the oleo and the butter in
serarate saucepans on the fire and
let them come to boil. They
boiled in very different manner
one noisily, with a great deal o.
sputtering, the other smoothly, Civ
ing forth an abundance Of white
foam. "It is the oleo," said tht
cooking teacher, "that boils noisily
for oleo is a mixture Of grease ant

Take Care of The Calf.

Judging from the reports which
come from the strictly beef pro-
ducing sections Of the country, the
calves from the dual purpose COWS
OF the corn and clover country will
III the not distant fu ure be a more
and more important factor in feeding
the people who want beef to eat.
From the northern range country
Colorado, Nebraska. Wyoming,
Montana, and the Dakotas, and
northwest Canada as welcomes
the story OF constantly decreasing
breeding herds. The number of
northern ranchman who are reducing
their herds of COWS and depending
upon the southern ranges to raise
steers for them to buy as yearllngs
and two-year-olds seems to be con-
Estantly increasing. The ranchman
of the southern breeding grounds,
however, has been doing two things
which are likely to reduce the supply
|of steers he will have for sale-he
has been spayinga great many heif-
ers, and he has been developing a
muket for his calves with the gra-
zier and feeder of the corn and clover
country. Added to this is the export
of she stuff to South Africa and
Cuba and the cutting up Of the
range, although whether this latter
will reduce the number of calves
which can be raised is matter yet
to be determined. Considering all
the conditions which may properly
have bearing, it certainly seems as
if the calf crop in the cattle country
proper will be materially smaller
during the next five yeals than it has
been duripgthe past five.
This is the situation rs we see it
at the present time. But while there
are these reasons to believe that
there will be decrease in the
amount Of beef produced, there is a
certainty that our population, and
therefore the number Of possible
beef eaters, will constantly increase.
There seems also a strong probability
that we will have fairly prosperous
times. Business conditions gen
orally are better now than a year
ago and there are no ominous clouds
in sight at the present time. When
labor has employment at good wages
and people generally are prosperous
they will eat beef, they will eat it
even at high price.
If we have correctly diagnosed
the present condition, it will pay
the farmers of Iowa and adjoining
states to take just little better care
than usual Of calves from their dual
purpose COWS. 1t will pay to give
little more attention to their feed
ing, and keep them growing from
the start. These calves will all be
needed and the people who want
them will pay the price.-Wallace's
Farmer.

Mistakes IN Advertising.

~ certain newspaper man IN
Iowa relates an experience that
might shed some light on the mail
order business. He was at the
town depot and saw farmer friend
receive set of harness from Chicago.
He ATTEMPTED to prove to the latter
that he was making mistake. as
any of the local dealers would
furnish him the same or better goods
just as cheap, and the profit would
be kept at home. But" said the
farmer, this is the first time | have
ever heard that there is harness
shop in this town. 1 have taken
your paper for five years and have
never seen line of advertising in
it about such an instution in all that
time. But you can bet the Chicago
house has kept me posted"
Another case came within our per-
sonat knowledge few days since.
A travelling insurance man was relat-
ing his experience in a nearby
county seat town. He visited
farmer who carried a policy in his
company and was shown 5O-pound
can of coffee just received for which
the farmer had paid Is cents per
pound to catalogue house on the
statement that the same goods cost
40 cents in any retail establishment.
He slipped sample into his pocket
anil when he got to town showed it
to'a groceryman friend Of his, ask
ing what it could be sold for at
retail, without explaining where he
got it. The merchant stated that
he would gladly furnish all thatany-
body wanted at II cents and that in
large orders it might be put in a
little less and still leave profit for
the dealer.
The trouble with that merchant
was that he advertised in the wrong
place. The travelling man did not
want any coffee but the farmer did.
Undoubtedly the farmer was sub
scriber to the local paper. He was
constantly receiving advertising
matter from the catalogue house
giving apparently low prices and he
probably concluded that he was be,
ing robbed. If the merchant had
told him through his paper that he
would supply him a brand of coffee
for IL cents for which the catalogue
house wanted Is, he undoubtedly
would have at least investigated the
matter.
The facts are that the mail order
houses owe nine-tenths of their bus
ness to their steady and persistent
advertising. They list an article at
certain price and quote what the
retailer would ask for it. The Gus
toner sees that and is never inform
ed to the contrary. AT least one
third of the merchants of any Iowa
town never advertise, and in many
the number reaches two-thirds.
They submit year after year to being
lied on, to being posted as beating
their customers, and the only time
when they ever seem to appreciate
the value of advertising is when
their town paper opens its bare
columns to the mail order houses
that are always eager to fill them up
at full rates.
1t is all folly to claim that the
mail order houses can undersell the
local merchants. 1t is true they
have some advantages but these are
nullitied by lower expenses, cheaper
rents and personal supervision.
When they learn to advertise as
consistently and more honestly than
their city competitor they will have
solved the problem.
