1t has developed its own field of sup
ply and opened Its own market.
While the western farmers and stock
raisers have been denouncing the beef
trust and the oil trust. they have been
going right on cheerfully, increasing
the supply Of raw material for the use
of the butter trust" or the independ-
ent creameries.
The farmer who keeps herd of
dairy COWS, has his choice of churning
his own cream into butter and SELL
ing the cream to the "butter trust" or
to some independent creamery, as in
dependent concerns operate to a con-
siderable extent in the trust" terri
tory and competition for the raw pro-
duct is lively.
An example of the situation to be
found in all parts Of the crust" ter
rftory Is offered in Oklahoma. where
the Continental creamery maintained
receiving stations and shipped cream
to the Topeka plant until about a year
ago.
Dairying developed so rapidly in the
territory that 1t was found necessary
for the butter trust to have a churn-
ing plant at Oklahoma City to care
for the increased production of butter
fat There are now. besides the trust"
plant, independent creameries in Okla
homa City. Guthrie and Watonga, be-
sides smaller concerns scattered over
the territory in which few years ago
not creamery existed.
A lift for the Farmers.
Before the development of the
creamery industry the prairie farmers
were often forced to sell their butter
in the summer for and 10 cents a
pound, but now the price for butter
fat does not fall below is cents. and
the farmer is saved the labor of
churning.
Fifteen years ago there were about
400 small creameries in Kansas and
an equal number in Nebraska. strug-
Cling for existence. The farmers haul
ed their milk to the creameries and
there the cream and milk were separ-
ated and the farmer took home the

OF inactivity in the creamery business
IN the west, but during this time
great fields Of alfalfa were sown and
great opportunities for dairying were
being developed.
Farmers Discover the Dairy.
Ten years ago, at the time the small
creameries in Beloit and Beatrice were
started the western farming states
were suffering from drouth and the
consequent epidemic of hard times.
The hot winds, like furnace blasts
swept over the prairie farms and left
IN their wake scorched and shriveled
fields OF corn and wheat. The west
was burning up. From such a condi-
ton there arose. Phoenix-like from
the ashes, the dairy industry and the
creameries as they now exist. They
nave grown apace and are still grow
ing.
For years the great American but
ter belt has followed the course of en-
pire to the west. In its steady march
it has crossed the Allegheny noun
tains. forded the Mississippi and now
the two largest butter-making plants
In the world are to be found in Kan
sas and Nebraska. and dairying is
one OF the principal industries of the
western farms and is vet in it's in
fancy.
The western country, with cheaper
land. mammoth fields of succulent al
falfa, section after section of nourish-
ing prairie hay, fields of winter wheat
affording green pasturage in winter,
millions of bushels of bran from home
milled wheat, kaffir corn and other
rich forage crops, is particularly ad-
apted to dairying.
The prairie farms, used in the west
ern style of farming on large scale
and depending on one or two crops of
immense acreage, until a few years
ago, gave little attention to the pro-
ducing of milk. Every farmer possess
ed a few COWS of unknown breeding
and quality, and they received indif-
ferent care.
When the crops failed the farmers
were glad to turn to the neglected

COWS for help. A few creameries were
operated in small way. There was
market either for cream or for but
ter and the farmer, who had no grain
to sell gave the farm cows more at
tention than they had ever before re-
ceived.
Dairy Takes Its Proper Place.
The farmer discovered that good
feed and proper care meant more milk
and they began to increase the number
Of mich cows. They found that mod
ern methods and inventions were re-
sponsible for greater possibilities in
the dairy industry, and while the dairy
had been looked upon as only an adj
junct to the farm. it soon became one
of the principal industries.
The farmers found that the cream
cries were keeping pace with the milk
production and soon 1t was that. no
matter where the farmer who located,
he had market for his cream, al
though 1t might be hundred. two
hundred or even four hundred miles
away.
Then the farmers blessed the an
clients who had discovered the princi-
pals of churning when. at the end of
a long journey they found the con-
tents of the skin bottles filled with
milk and dashed to the backs of cam
els, turned to butter by the rocking
motion of the beasts of burden.
In older and more thicklv settled
states, dairying was established as
one of the principal industries many
years ago and large creameries re-
ceived their entire supply of cream
from within the borders of the county
where they were located. In the
larger and less densely settled west
ern state, where the average farm is
many times the size of those in the
east, the conditions are much diff
ferent.
In the western prairie states, the
dairy industry would be still totally
undeveloped we're it not for the
changes brought about within the last
few years by the introduction of me-
chanical cream separators on the
farms. Pasteurization, the Babcock
test for determining the amount of
butter fat in cream. and refrigerator
cars, which have minimized the work
of separating the cream from the milk,
placed the buying and payment on an
accurate test basis, and made it pos
sible to ship cream long distances.
These modern methods have been adj
opted far more extensively in the
west than in the east.
Giant Strides In the Industry.
The first important advancement
was made in 1850, when Jesse Will
liams, farmer of Rome, N. Y, con-
ceived the idea of establishing fac
tory for the making of cheese Will
liams and his sons were dairymen in
Oneida county. The idea that they
could bring their milk to central
point and combine their interests with
better results, was the starting point
Of the cheese factory system.
Following this came the application
of the idea of butter making and the
establishing of the central creamery
system known as "the American
plan." which has since been adopted
in other countries and brought about
radical changes in even such famous
butter-making country as Denmark.
What if Jesse Williams could see
the daily shipments of cream, in re-
frigerator cars. from receiving and
Pasteurizing stations 400 miles from
the churning plant!

LEAF RUST.
Prof. Bolley Issues Bulletin on Tree
Destroying Disease.

Prof. Bolley Issues Bulletin on Tree
Destroying Disease.
In order to give the public some
knowledge of the disease which attacks
the cottonwood trees in this state Prof.
Bolley of the Agricultural college has
given out the following statement:
The common cottonwood tree is
quite commonly attacked each year by
species of rust, known as the cot
tonwood leaf rust (Melampsori popu-
l1ni) The disease is supposed to pass
Its whole life history on the cotton
wood, and starts each succeeding
year from the spores which remain
over during the winter on the old
leaves. This would suggest that
wherever possible the leaves should
be raked up and burned, though of
course. as rust spores blow by the
wind the disease may spread from
neighborhCod to neighborhood.
l have noticed that the rust is most
destructive after rapid spring growth
followed by drouth or lack of water.
Trees which are we'll supplied with
water and not too thickly set pass
through the entire season of frost
without great destruction to their
leaves from this rust. 1t has not
been found an economic procedure for
the presentation of the disease to spray
the trees as this must be done too Oft
en- for the results accomplished. The
cottonwood is tree which does not
thrive we'll when thickly set on the
ground, so that those who have large
groves of cottonwood and wish the
trees to remain sturdy and healthy
should cut out alternate trees, leaving
plenty of room for the spreading Of
the lower limbs. This will also al
low the trees to have sufficient mois-
ture to last them through the sea-
son.
The so-called Carolina poplar,
nearly related tree. is nearly or quite
resistant to the popular rust. 1t seems
also to be fully as valuable tree in
other ways, especially for shade pur-
poses in dry-land regions. In future
paintings | would recommend substi-
tuting this for the common cotton
wood although it does not produce
quite so rapidly.

Use of the Worthless.

In modern, scientific. sensible for
estry there is one new trick. Trees
are left standing when they have ceas-
ed to grow, when they even lose in
value every year. This is done when
they are needed to protect the young
trees from too much sunlight. from too
much branching, which is the same as
Matchmaking, in their growth. So ev-
erywhere in life. and especially in
school life, there is a wholesomeness
in much of that which is in itself
worthless. No masterpiece is string
OF uninterrupted gems. The diver
sions are indispensable to artistic eff
feet. The best feature of the old time
study of Greek was that for which one
had to dig that WAS net essential when
he had dug it out. Are we not carry
ing the craze for perpetual interest
and the unwaning essential quite far
enough?-Journal of Education

The PROOF THAT DARNNG IS PROFITABLE IN NORTH DAKOTA

Ten years ago there was born of
humble origin, at Beloit. Kan, in the
very heart Of the prairie country,
cephalopoda. 1t was not known by
this name, but Webster's definition is
that they have. around the front of
the head, group of elongated mus
cular arms, which are usually fur
nished with prehensible suckers or
hooks. The head Is highly developed,
with large well-Organized eyes and
ears"
The definition proves the specie.
No one, not even those responsible
for its birth. realized at the time to
what size 1t would grow. This cepha-
lopoda, or octopus, as the farmers are
wont to call such creatures, possessed
head which realized the possibilities
of growth, and this head sent forth
arms to reach into the nearby farming
localities and gather the cream from
the farms into the then small churn-
Ing plant operated by Wiggo Jensen.

The Topeka. plant soon had more
than 500 cream receiving stations
scattered over Kansas. Colorado. Ne

The Lincoln plant had nearly 600
stations in Nebraska. Iowa. Kansas,
Missouri and Colorado. which were
gathering cream.
The Topeka plant was manufacture
ing 100000 pounds of butter a year
and the Lincoln plant was producing
about an equal amount annually

Probably 10000 farmers furnish the
cream used by the Continental cream
cry at Topeka. With each farmer
milking an average of ten cows, this
makes total of 100000 cows which
contribute the product to the plant.
Last year the plant consumed $780,
OO0 ten gallon cans to carry it and
5000 cars to transport it to the

The other churning plants of the

where 100000 pounds of butter are
made each year; at Denver. where the
product is 100000 pounds; Littleton,
