powder which those who have tested
it claim to be the quickest and

feet in the line, they will string

1t will take the biggest part of
an hour for them to pass thr ough
the gate at a steady walk. Stand

four sides of fivc-acre lot and
would cost a matter of $40, 0OOL
but it would save fencing. If the
cows were to run loose in covered
barn lot, three acres would have to
be covered. Eighty-five good milk
crs could handle this herd easily.
Fifteen hundred acres of pasture
ought to be plenty for grazing.
To feed these cows a ton and a

DAIRY PROFITS ANAlYZED,
GOOD COWS MAKE NONE Y

WILDER J. Fraser, chief of dairy
husbandry at the University of
Illinois, gives a graphic comparison
relative to the value of different
cows. He says that included in
the dairy investigation of the Illi-
nois experiment station are the in
dividual records for full year of
5s4 COWS in SO Illinois herds. To
make large and fair comparison
take the lowest fourth and the
highest fourth of all these cows
This is 278 head, or half of the en-
tire number The lowest 13e cows
Zone fourth of alD yielded an aver
age of 1891 pounds of butter fat
during the year, and the highest
13o cows produced an average OF
3O1 pounds butter fat
The Elgin price of butter the
past five years averages % cents
per pound, and this is the usual
price the dairyman gets for the
butter fat in his milk, it costing the
overrun to make the butter. At %
cents per pound for Dutter tat the
poor cows make an average return
of S3O.77. At the low estimate OF
$50 per year for feed, this would
leave IT cents profit per COW for
the whole years work and invest
ment. But the best 13o COWS made
an average income of 500 81 Al
lowing these better cows $3S per
year for feed, SIS better than the
poor producers, the clear profit is
S3122 per cow. These calculations
allow the skim milk, calf and
manure to pay for the labor and
interest on the investment
Twenty-Five cows of the better
kind would return the dairynan a
clear profit of $73S per year They
could be kept on an So-acre farm
they would require only barn
32x45 feet and a 1o0-ton silo, sno
the cows themselves at $40 per
head would cost only $175O-a very
good little business
But dairyman could make JUS
as much money, and no more, irorT
the 1921 COWS of the other kind
However, the investment would be
somewhat different, and here arc
some of the details for the ocncii'
of anyone who might prefer &c
handle the 1921 cows to make S75S,
as. in fact. many of the ILLINOIS
dairyrncn are now doing with a

THE ROSES.
What They Like-How 20 Plant and
Prune-Some Uses.

Roses will do fairly well in almost
any soil, providing 1t is not a wet or a
loose, sandy one. OF course the ideal
tered position with an exposure to the
morning sun, shaded from the fierce
rays of the MONDAY sun. A stiff clay
land can be helped by draining and
working in long stable manure, decay
ed leaves, sand and ashes and sandy
or gravely earth by the addition of COW
manure, clay or stiff loan, but any
will also grow good roses. The best
season for planting the harder roses
is the late fall, but the more tender
tea roses should be left till early
spring.
1t often happens when you unpack
roses shipped from distant nursery
that you discover the bark all shrivel-
ed. 1t is Il good plan TO bury them
completely ut least six inches below
the surface, give the ground good
soaking and leave so for two or three
days to plump up again. In planting
budded or grated plants the point Of
union should be at least two inches be-
low the surface so that they may
eventually become their own root
plants.
In pruning first cut out all decayed,
crowded or weak growths, then shorten
back as required, observing the rule
that delicate and weak growers should
be pruned separately and strong and
vigorous growers pruned very lightly.
There are many ways in which roses
can be used to produce decorative eff
fects outdoors as dwarf plants in beds,
as climbers on walls porches or arches,
as pillars in large isolated clumps, as
a hedge or dividing line, as an edging
to other shrubs or TO carpet banks and
slopes.

TOBACCO PLANT.
Scarlet Variety sanderae Flowers at
Twilight.


One of the flower novelties of last
year which were successfully grown by
many experts is n tobacco which pro
duces scarlet flowers, Nicotiana sande-
rae. 1t is named for It's introducer, an
expert of England. The plant was orig
mated by crossing two South Ameri-
can tobacco plants, one of which had
white and the other red flowers. The
result was flower varying from light
pink TO the deepest red. Planted in the
foreground of border of the more ia
miliar Nicotiana afiinis, which has
white star shaped flowers of wonder
fully sweet fragrance at twilight, a
combination of color most striking is
produced.
, A pleasing characteristic of this to-
bacco plant Is the Towering time,
which begins at twilight and lasts until
the hot rays Of the following day with
er the blossoms. Thus ii is in bloom
at the time when it is most appreciated
by persons returning home after a
weary days work.
The plants are grown easily from
seed sown on pulverized soil Another
method is to SOW the seed in shallow
boxes and transplant to open beds
when the fourth or fifth leaf has APP
peared.
