High Prices Tor Cheese.

To me one of the most gratifying fea-
lures of the dairy business is the ex-
ceedingly high price of cheese. 1t is
usually very unfortunate for any com
modify to reach point where the cost
becomes prohibitive In this case it
will, of course, have an unfavorable
influence. but it will be insignificant
compared to the fact that we are be-
ginning to know the value of good full
cream cheese and that at usual prevail
ing prices it is cheap food Almost
anything in box will bring II cents,
and some of the finest grades are not
on the market at any price. The cheese
making sections have not enlarged and
developed as rapidly as the butter dis
tricts largely on account of the supe-
riOr value of skim milk over whey
Sweet milk from the separator, an un-
Outstanding how to balance it up with
the grains and the fact that upon it
young animals make the most satiSfac-
tory and profitable growth have aided
in swelling the butter output.-H. E.

BUTTER FROM ONE COW.

Homemade Creamer That Is Pre-
ferred to the Use of Pans.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker tells her way of making butter
from one COW with much less care
and expense and more satisfactorily
than by the pan system. She says: We
had used a c-caL.er with butter work
err, swing churn and pound printer
with a fine herd of Jersey COWS, max
ing a fine quality of butter, and when
a change in our business made it nee
essary for us to keep only one cow we
naturally wanted to make as good but
ter with less machinery. After some
consideration we evolved a plan that
has been very satisfactory. We bought
two one gallon carrying pals, such as
dairymen use, and had a timer insert
a tube one-half inch and f1aring to
three-quarters on the outside at the
bottom of each pail, the tube to be one
inch in length.
These tubes are to be fitted securely
with corlzs. The covers should have
three holes punched in them for venti-
lation. The whole cost of these small

Feeding the Fall pigs.

From now on mix the feed for the
young pigs, one feed ahead, and you
may, with good results, add a half
spoonful of oilmeal for each pig and
increase as they get larger. Put a lit
tie shelled corn in the feed and let it
soak from one feed to another. Also
increase this as time goes on. If they
can follow around after cattle that are
fed corn it will be sufficient corn for
them and will give them their needed
exercise. The cattle keep the snow
tramped down, and the pigs will keep
pretty busy. You should always aim
to have a southern exposure protected
on the windward side by high, tight
board fence and on the north by
building, where the suns rays will be
reflected so it will thaw on a sunshiny
day while it freezes in more unprotect-
ed places.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Dead Man Drives Merrymakers.

A Philadelphia paper says: "A
dead man drove party of horsemen
a mile yesterday from the Belmont
race track to Narberth station. The
dead man was William Devere, aged
20 years, driver employed by 10,
seph Donahue. The old man, who
has been a familiar figure on the Ian
caster pike for many years, went to
the driving park for passengers and
obtained a hack load. He answered
some questions, took directions, jump
ed lightly to his seat and started his
horse. When Narberth station was
reached one Of the party called to the
old man to stop. The order was not
needed. The man jumped from the
hack, stopped the horse, and, after be
rating him for not stopping at the
station, reached up to shake the silent
driver. 1t was then found that De.
we're was dead--of apoplexy."

needed to set the milk for cream rails
ing Well water at 40 degrees is suffi-
cient to raise the cream in twelve
hours, but if one has ice it will save
the changing of water at each milking,
and colder water will raise the cream
more quickly. In summer we set our
milk in the cellar near our well, chang
ing the water at each milking in hot
test weather, but in cooler weather it
may be set on the back porch or any
convenient place where it may not
freeze. We prefer to have our COW
fresh in September and make winter
butter and with this nlan can have but
ter equally as good in summer. We
have two creamers f. the. first flush of
milk and use only one later The milk
is strained directly into the can and
set in cold water to the depth of the
milk, with enough water so as to cool
the milk. The cream is raised in twelve
hours. Care must be taken when draw
ing off the skim milk, for the force Cf
a full can is considerable. Draw off
until the cream begins to show, hold
ing the cork to lessen the rapid flowing
and stop the cream. Shake the can I'M
til the cream is all lOOsened and pour
it into a jar to be set in a cool Sace
where it may keep sweet until there is

One Cause Of Poor MILK.

Competition is no mean influencing
agent. 1t is well known fact that in
our smaller places reliable farmers
have attempted to produce a good
quality of milk for their customers and
to sell it at a fair price. Their charges
estimated from cost of production have
been very reasonable, say 6 cents per
quart. After starting some irresponsi-
BILE man would undertake to sell milk
at 3, 4 or cents per quart. Conse-
quently the good milk was soon crowd
ed out, and there was left upon the
market only this poor quality of milk.
This irresponsible man could then raise

FEEDING VALUE OF ROOTS.
When Farmers Get the Right Twist
on the Business.

When Farmers Get the Right Twist
on the Business.
There are few American farmers
after year. One reason is because
hand labor is necessary to a certain eX-
tent; another reason is that their value
is not appreciated by stockmen because
they do not know how to feed them.
When stock farmer raises a crop of
roots for the first time he is liable to
feed them in excess; then because re-
suits are not satisfactory he makes up
his mind that he does not like roots to
feed.
The cost, of growing roots is being
reduced by improved machinery, due
in large measure to the successful
growing of sugar beets. Within ten
years great progress has been made
in this direction, and the stock grower
who wishes to raise roots for feeding
purposes is profiting thereby.
Continental Effect.
There are cooling, healthful proper
ties about roots not possessed by any
stimulating to a certain extent and ap-
petiZing when fed in connection with
ordinary farm roughage, which ac-
counts for the increased consumption
of other feeds when roots are used.
These properties are approached but
not equaled by silage
There is a continental value to roots
when properly fed that gives stock the
sleek, comfortable appearance that is
characteristic of thoroughbred stock
on the best English and Canadian
stock farms. The English farmer I'M
derstands how to grow roots and how
to feed them to the best advantage.
When American stock farmers get the
right twist on the business they will
be just as enthusiastic over their field
Of roots for winter succulence as the
old stock raiser in England or Canada,
concludes Farm, Field and Fireside.

Rate of Gain.

1t is claimed that the first gains while
milk was being fed were made at from
2 to cents per pound. The next gain,
which included the time from weaving
until the fattening period at the end,
was made at from to cents per
pound, while the last gain cost from 3
to cents per pound. Steers properly
handled should make about two pounds

FINISHING YOUNG STEERS.
Fitting Them For Profitable Market
at an Early Age.

at an Early Age.
There are few subjects that are at
the present time receiving more atten-
ton at the hands of stockmen than
that relating to the fitting Of steers
for market at an early age. The inter
est in this subject is not confined to
the corn belt. Some time ago a prom
inent Canadian investigator in an adj
dress on this subject said that in order
to bring steers to the proper finish be-
fore they have reached the age of
twentyfour months good blood is alb
solutely necessary and that there is no
use to undertake to produce this class
Of beef unless the calves are of the
strictly beef type. The dairy breeds
will not do at all. Calves intended for
the baby beef market were dropped in
April or May in the experiments con-
Quoted by this investigator. They were
fed skim milk until they were at least
four months old, and in addition to this
they were supplied with tiaXseed meal.
For the first two or three months this
faXseed meal was put in hot water
about a cupful of meal to a quart and
a half of water The water was kept
just below boiling for three or four
hours. In that way the meal is turned
into a kind of jelly. This is mixed
with the skim milk at the rate of about
a tablespoonful per pound of milk.
Feeding Dry Food.
AS soon as the calves will eat they
are supplied with dry oilmeal, corn
and some ground oats. They will do
better on mixture of grain than on a
single grain. At the age of four months
the calves are given all the grass they
will eat, and in addition the meal sup
ply is kept up. During the winter they
are supplied with either roots OF en-
silage, together with plenty Of good
roughage and also a mixed meal. They
are turned to grass the second summer
and given no grain during July and
August. The grain is started the first
of September, and they are given about
half pound per day for each hundred
pounds of weight Toward the end of
the feeding period, which is about
Christmas time, they are given nearly
a pound of meal for each 100 pounds
of live weight of the animal. At from
twenty to twenty-four months old the
steers should weigh from LOO to 1,4O0
pounds.

dislike to let sons and daughters
know that they have anxieties; they
resort to every legitimate or illegiti-

does not come, there are heart burn

When the yule-tide casts upon us
a spell of foreboding or leaves a
legacy of importunate creditors, 1t
has been robbed of it's finest essence
and defrauded of it's nOblest meaning.
It is our misfortune that we cannot
divest ourselves of feeling that to
make the home happy we must spend
too much money for our mental COM
fort. Never was there a greater mis-
take. Pleasure in the household de-
Ponds on simplicity far more than we
think. Children often turn away from
the playthings that have cost goodly
sum in dollars and cents, and find
their delight in something cheap
which they may use at their pleasure.
The costly doll imported from Paris
and dressed in the height of the fash
ion is shown with pride by it's owner
to her little friends, but it is not the
doll which gives most satisfaction. 1t
is not the doll that the child plays
with. Very likely her mother con-
siders it too fine to be spoiled and
puts it away in the closet except on
state occasions. A doll on the closet
shelf may be a marvel of elegance,
but it brings no particular gratitlca'
ton to the child who seldom sees it.
Our yule-tide should be full of
warmth and cheer, our extra money
should be spent on plenty of light and
an open fire, and there should be good
times at home, the best times then in
all the year.
The benefcent spell of the yule-
tide has most Of heaven in it when
we remember our poorer neighbors
and our lonelier friends. There are
people known to us all who will be
made very happy by so simple thing
at Christmas-tide as letter. For in
stance, there is the seamstress who
worked for you 20 years ago and who
is ending her days in an old ladies'
home. She has nobody Of her own
left to visit her and one day passes
just like another. Her yule-tide will
be made more cheerful by visit If
you can make it, or a letter If you
can send it.
