Brewers Grains VS.. DistiIlers' Grains.
Both brewers grains and distillers'
grains are on our markets, and the
dairyman frequently asks himself
which he will find more profitable to
feed. This is aquestfon that will nav
any dairyman to study, as the prices
vary SO greatly that he can sometimes
feed one to advantage and sometimes
the other. While distillers' grains con-
sist mostly Of corn, brewers grain con.
isists largely Of barley. Although bar
ley is higher in protein than corn, vet
after the brewing has been done, the
grain contains more carbohydrates.2
that is, fat-forming material, than the
.distillers' grains. For ordinary feed
ing. therefore, brewers grains are less
valuable than distillers' grains, but the
prices Of those two are generally far
apart. When dried brewers grains
have been sailing at $40, dried distil-
jlers' grains have been selling as hiehs
as $28. The loss, therefore, is on the;
side OF feeding distillers' grains at
those prices. II is evident, however.
that there should be some adjustment
of prices ~ the market. II

Creamery Milk Supply.

where the milk from 400 or 500 cows
cannot be obtained. Fifteen years ago
It was believed that a creamery could
be successfully run on the milk from
800 to $50 cows. That may have been
SO at that time, but at the present
time the expenses of running cream
cry are very much greater than they
were fifteen years ago. The wages Of
men have advanced very much and
creamery supplies have in some cases
doubled in price. The commissions
Tor selling butter are larger than they
we're, because it costs more to run
the establishments of the commission
men. It therefore requires a larger
volume. of milk to produce the same
amount of revenue. Investigations in
the State of Iowa show that a large
number of creameries supplied by less
than 500 cows have been compelled to
suspend operations, due to the fact
that they could not secure enough milk
to yield them a profit on their bust
ness. 1t is for the advantage Of the
farmer to have his creamery supplied
by as many cows as possible, for the
reason that the less the cost of max
ing pound of butter the greater will
be the price Of milk received by the
farmer. Thus in the largest factories
1t costs only one cent per pound for
making butter. tbs is equal to four
cents per cwt. of milk. In some of the
smaller creameries it costs as much
Is $.025 for making a pound of butter.
Every farmer should encourage his
aeighbors to keep more cows if they
are supplying milk to the creamery.
In some cases farmers that are promi.
nent In the production of milk seem
to have jealousy in relation to the
matter, they being prominent in that
line. But they should understand that
the more COWS kept the better it is for
them. The other men are not com.
peting with them in the production of
milk. but are cooperating with them
what benefits one will benefit the
others. Large creameries seldom fail.
This is because they are able to sell
all their products to the greatest pos.
sibie advantage. They are able to dis.
pose Of their buttermilk at large prices
because they can send it in consider
able quantities to distant markets,
where they can secure permanent Gus.
toners. The small creamery is I'm.
able to handle such a trade, and when
they try it they frequently lose it be.
cause there comes time when they
are unable to supply the quantity de-
manded.
The very foundation of successful
creamery work is large milk supply
and every man interested in the
creamery, whether he be the manager
butter-maker or patron, should labor
for the increase of the milk supply
The limited milk supply is the danger
point. 1t is at this point that the
creamery is more likely to fail than at
any other, and if the amount of milk
be too limited to yield profit on the
returns, no kind of fine ALTERNATING
no amount of skill in selling, and NO
measure of cleanliness about the fac
tory can prevent its being failure in
the end.

condition, take from your urine on rising about
four ounces, place it in glass or bottle and let
it stand twenty-four hours. If on examination
it is milky cloudy if there is brick-dust set
thing, if small particles float around in it, your
kidneys are in need of immediate attention.

doctors themselves who have kidney ailments,
because they recognize in it the greatest and

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are
sure to touoW. Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless sleepless and
irritable. Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to- get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back. joints and muscles;
gestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a
sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as
though you had heart trouble; you may have
plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak
and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DR.. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp Root you afford natural help
