Cam herf Cheese

Camembert cheese is already sufi-
GENTLY well known in this country to
insure the ready sale of any brand
which shows itself to be always rea
sonably reliable. Considering the lack
of uniform quality in the Camembert
cheeses seen on sale in half dozen of
the large cities of the United States,
the wonder is not at the smallness of
the demand, but that the people will
continue to buy it at all. Inquiry shows
that many people are fond of the
cheese, but never buy it because they
cannot depend upon the product Deal
ers do not like to handle it for the
same reason. The fact that local de-
mand compels grocers in cities, often
against their will, to handle such
cheeses is evidence that a really good
and reliable Camembert cheese would
make for itself a large marIkset.-H. ".

MODEL COW STALL.

the lower manger she is just as far
ahead as she can possibly get. When
she raises her head to eat hay the hay
manger forces her back a step. Now,
the philosophy of the stall is this:
When she is eating grain or ensilage
out of the lower manger the attendant
notices where she stands with her hind
feet, and he places 2 by edgewfse
across the stall just in front of her
hind feet. 1t must be understood that
the ensilage and grain manger is only
four to six inches high on the side
toward the COW. Now, the space be-
tween this manger and this by 4 in
front of the cows hind feet is filed
with straw for bedding 1t gradually
becomes packed in there so that the
COW has a mattress Of straw four
inches deep to lie upon. This is her
bed When she stands up she cannot
get into it with her hind feet to soil
it. The Manager prevents her from get
ting ahead, so that the droppings will
not at any time fall in this bed; con-
sequently it is always clean.
When the COW lies down she must lie
upon this bed or else lie right over the
edge Of the 2 by 4, which is so uncom-
Portable that she soon learns to lie far
enough forward to lie comfortably on
the bed. The construction of the bed.
then, compels the COW to keep herself
clean. l have put into my barn fifty
two of these stalls. They are giving
entire satisfaction. The COWS can be
tied with halter to the plank which
forms the bottom of the hay manger
or with a rope around the neck or with
q COW chain.-Michigan Farmer.

BUTTER TO SELL.
when Summer Markets Are Flooded
With the Farm Product.

Usually farm buttermakerS can Sc
cure a premium above the average
market price by selling the butter to
private customers who have regard for
quality in products of this nature.
If the maker is compelled to take
his butter to stores he usually has to
take the average price given for but
ter regardless of quality. A few store
keepers will recognize certain lines of
butter as being superior to others and
will pay more for them, but usually
not as much as can be obtained by
private marketing. In most localities.
particularly during the summer
months, the markets are flooded with
farm butter, and the prices are very
unsatisfactory. The maker who is de-
pending on the stores for the sale of
his butter usually has to accept the
current price, while if he has worked
up private trade the chances are that
he has a market that will give a uni
form price throughout the year.-Ed-
win H Webster.
Pleased and Paying Buyers.
One thing should always be borne in
mind by the person who is making but
ter to sell. The butter is for somebody
else to eat, and it is for your interest
to make it to suit them, whether it just
suits your taste or not. Habit has a
great deal to do with our likes and dis
likes. You may have been accustomed
to sweet cream butter. If so you prob
ably like that best. Or you may have
got used to eating butter made from
very ripe cream and the butter not
washed to expel the buttermilk caus-
ing it to have very decided flavor and
taste, and so you look upon fine, deli
cate favored butter as insipid. Or you
may like little or no sailing or high
sailing, light color Or high color. But
all this is of no consequence. 1t is no
matter what you like You want to
make it to suit your customer, and you
want your customers to be those who
are able and willing to pay a good
price for what suits them. If the Gus
toner wants sweet cream butter, make
1t; if unsalted, make it SO; if he desires
1t high sailed, salt it high, and so on.
Always make it the same for the same
customers. They are getting tastes
formed which you can make it profta-
BILE to crafty. If one is making butter
to put on the general market he wants
to make what that market demands
and will pay the best price fore. P.
Goodrich.

There is kind of stall known as the
model stall. Some people call it
Hoard's model stall, as Governor
Hoard, through Hoard's Dairyman, has
advocated this stall long and persist
emily. Below is given a cut of this
stall, redrawn from Kings Physics of
Agriculture, with slight modiica tons.
The manager in which the COW is fed
ensilage and grain is on level with
the platform the COW stands upon. The
feeding alley is in front, and the COW is
fed her grain through the opening from
the feeding alley To prevent COWS
reaching through this opening into the
feeding alley door hung upon hinges
is used to close the opening. This is
swung up against the hay manger
when the ensilage and grain are being
fed. Two feet above this manger is
the bottom of the hay manger. This
bottom is made out of eight inch or ten
inch plank and is boarded up on the
alley side. The front part of the hay
manger, or that part toward the cow,
is made of Stats. the top of which pro-
jects toward the cow at an angle of
about forty-five degrees She eats the
hay through these Stats.

somewhat resembles the Jersey, and
many students of cowology claim that
the original stock was the same.
Feed and Butter Fat.
Much dispute has arisen in regard to
the effect of feed upon the per cent of
butter fat 1t is very easy to attribute
any variation that may happen to oc-
cur at the time of changing feed to the
feed. Records of tests show that it is
possible for large variation to take
place without any change of feed
Where accurate records have been kept
it has been found that there is very lit
tie If any change in the per cent of
butter fat due to feed. A few expert
ments at other stations indicate that
feed may influence in a small degree
the per cent of fat in the milk, but this
influence is so small that it is hardly
worth while for the average farmer or
dairyman to pay any attention to it,
The test of the richness of the milk
seems to be the individual characteris-
tic of the COW, that cannot be changed
permanently by the will of man, and if
in the milk we must do it by breeding
rather than by feeding.-Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station
Silage Versus Grain
The Ohio experiment station finds it
quite evident from data of its own
tests that cows fed silage ration have
produced considerably more milk and
fat at a smaller expenditure for feed
resulting in more than double the profit
than those fed a grain ration. The
question arises, however how much
of this increase in production is due to
the ration fed and how much to the
COW? 1t is probable. says Farm Su-
perintendent c. G. Williams, that the
comparison of actual yields of milk
and butter fat is not so reliable guide
to the utility of the two rations as the
comparison of each COW with herself
'before and after" taking the ration
Taking the average of the here's. the
cows fed the silage ration shrank o.S4
per cent in milk and gained so per
cent in fat. while the COWS fed the
grain ration shrank OH per cent in
milk and 14.1S per cent in fat.
Extra Size Handicap.
1t is the general opinion that cows of
medium size for the breed to which
they belong are the most profitable
milk producers, and the records of the
Wisconsin experiment station indicate
that cows somewhat below medium
weight have an advantage over those
above that medium In other words,
extra size is more or less of a handi-
cap.

Rest Time tn Make Choose

The best time to make dairy cheese
is Immediately after milking, says Pro-
fessor A. L. Hacker The various
changes that take place in milk nearly
all develop in the milk drawn in the
evening and kept over until the fol-
lowing morning. So If milk is made

AcciSaontly Shot Last SUN.
day by a Hunter An
Oklahoma.

The people of Laclede were shock
ed last Sunday evening on hearing
that A. j. Brown had been accident
ally killed while hunting on his claim
near Sweetwater, Okla. The news
came in the form of a telegram to his
father, S. FL. Brown, from Frank Ong,
who also lives near Sweetwater. Mr.
Brown left on the early morning
train Monday and met Mr.. Ong at
Ell Reno, he having brought the body
that far, returning to Laclede Tues
day night.
The particulars of the accident are
very meager. Itseems, however, that
four young men Of that locality were
out hunting and Andy had accom-
paired them but short distance
from his home when some prairie
chickens got up, and in:attempting to
shoot at them one of the fellows acci-
dentally discharged his gun, the full
load striking Andy just above the hip
joint, tearing hole large enough to
admit mans fist. He died in about
fifteen minutes without speaking a
word.
Andrew jackson Brown was born
in Atchison, Kansas, July 6, 1866;
came with his parents to Linn county,
Missouri, in 1873, and died from the
accidental discharge of a gun Novem-
ber II, 1906, near Sweetwater, Okla
homa.
Andy, as he was Familiarity known,
spent most of his life near Laclede
and because of his sociable disposition
had many friends. For about eight
years he worked at Laclede for the
Burlington railroad, preferring night
work so that he could spend the day
time. out at home, being very much
attached and especially kind to his
mother.
About five years ago Andy took up
a claim in Oklahoma and since then
has spent most of his time there, COM
ing home now and then for short
visit with home folks. The last visit
home was made three or four weeks
ago and when leaving he told his
mother that he would make final
proof on his land next April and then
come home. Then came the accident
and severe shock to the parents.
The remains were brought to La
clede Tuesday night and the funeral
services were held in the Methodist
Episcopal church Wednesday at 10
o'clock in charge of the pastor, Rev.
L. T. Monnett.
