standing jokes. The fact is the farm.

longs to the farmers. The deposits
are large. too. Few banks even Of
small capital carry less than $4,000
on their daily balances and many have
two and three times that amount.
Count the market price Of the poor

Of the stock, put in his hank account,
and you will find that the average
farmer is worth a good deal more than

mites. They swarm on fowls when
they are at rest, anu more than one
sitting hen has had her life blood
sucked out to such an, extent tiat she
has died lowering her eggs. To fight
these minute creatures it is neces-
sary to have all parts of the poultry
house constructed Of matched lumber
and the cracks filed up with some adj
hesive liquid such as whiteWash. The
roosts and all nests should be nova

" changed if the mites are about.
The roosts can be washed with Kero-

Creamery Milk supply.

No creamery should be established
where the milk from 400 or 500 cows
cannot be obtained. Fifteen years ago
1t was believed that creamery could
be successfully run on the milk from
200 to $50 cows. That may have been
80 at that time, but at the present
time the expenses ct running cream.
err are very mucil 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
for selling butter are larger than they
were, because it costs more to run
the establishments of the commission
men. 1t therefore requires larger
volume Of milk to produce the same
amount Of revenue. Investigations in
the State Of Iowa show that large
number Of creameries supplied by less
than 500 cows have been compelled to
suspend operations. cue to the fact
that they could not secure enough milk
to yield them a profit on their bust.
ness. It 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 a 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. This is equal to four
cents per cwt. of milk. In some OF the
smaller creameries it costs as much
as $.025 for making pound Of butter.
Every farmer should encourage his
neighbors 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
Ciatter, 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 crea,heries seldom fall.
This is because they are able to sell
all their products to the greatest pos
sible advantage. They are able to dis
pose of their buttermilk at large prices
because they can send it in consider

Feeding Apples 70 Cows.

OOSOU NVVtOO ~ SVWOs
At this time Of the year. when The
small apples from the orchard are b.
ing sorted ont and disposed Of % BY
products, 1t IL practice for many
farmers to feed some Of the Wormisr
apples and small apples to the cows.
A limited amount fed each day will
prove Of great help to the animals. a.
though there IL no great amount OF
nutriment in the fruit. The great
value comes from the presence OF
the fruit acid in apples; yet in the
feeding Of apples great care 10 needed.
Large apples should not be given 20
COWS whole; In fact, it is better IL all
apples of medium to large size are
cut in two before being fed. Many q
co0 has been choked to death on large
apples. One boy. known to the writer,
started to feed hungry COW apples.
She was so eager for the fruit that
She tried to swallow one whole to
make room for some more. An apple
Of unusual size became fixed in her
throat. It was only by vigorous work
on the part of the owner of the COW
that she was saved. He put both
hands on her throat and worked the
apple down whole. A good way to
iced apples is in the form of pomace.
which is the remainder of the apples
after the cider has been pressed out
If the ground mass. This pomace con-
tains small amount al nitrogen, .
very small amount OF potassium and
some phosphorus. The vegetable
sugars are also present The phos-
chorus is to largo extent locked up

LIBERATED unless the seeds with the
,ther pomace. is mixed with hay
which will retain them in the large
stomachs and compel them to 90
