MEANS SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
knowledge In palryIns Is Of the Most
Vital Importance.

knowledge is valuable In dairyipg
70 a very great extent, more so than
In some other occupations of an agri-
cultural nature. The effect of a single
piece of information may make all the
dinerence there is between success
and failure in dairy operations. This
is true in the matter of feeds, espe-
cially, for it is very easy for a man to
go on feeding his cows a food that
costs a great deal and yet that will
produce less result than a food that
costs less. We had an illustration
OF this during the long years when
farmers raised and fed to their COWS
timothy hay rather than clover hay.
Some even went into the markets and
purchased timothy hay at a higher
price by 30 per cent. than they would
have had to pay for sweet, bright
clover hay. This was due to ignor-
ance of the feeding value of the two
kinds of hay, the clover being worth
more ton for ton than the timothy.
Think OF the vast sums of money that
nave been paid out alone on account
OF this n item.
What is true of the two kinds of hay
is also true Of the concentrated feeds.
There is a certain prejudice in favor
OF a certain concentrated feed in each
~neighborhood and this is allowed to
dictate the course to be followed
rather than the choice of feeds after
thorough investigation. Many of the
mills are now turning out brans that
r OF little value for feeding pur-
poses. This is true, too, of the kind
OF feed known as Shorts" which in
some cases consist of bran ground
over and over till they are fine. The
man that will inform himself about the
various kinds of concentrated feeds
VIII be able to feed intelligently and
that is a good way to save money.
The value Of knowledge as to the
capacity of COWS is very great. The
man that begins the study of his cows
as to their capacities and the results
they are giving will be able TO turn off
mis- poorest cows and get better ones
In their places. Some of our dairymen
and farmers would be able to make
good profits out of their herds of COWS
II they would do this, while at the
present time they are just about max
ing expenses.

tial to the Process.

The following thoughts were sug-
gested to the writer by reading a re.
port from the Iowa station:
No established rule for sailing but
ter properly can be given. The butter
maker Will have to be governed en-
tirely by local conditions.
The amount of salt to be ~incorporat-
ed in the butter depends directly on
the amount Of moisture the butter con
tains. Butter fat is not a salt dissoly-
ing substance. This can be done only
by the moisture In the butter. The
first thing, then, to get a uniform
amount Of dissolved salt in butter is
to get a uniform amount of moisture.
The water should be evenly distrib.
uted through the mass of butter. II
II is present in pockets or creyices In
the butter when the salt is added.
much salt will be lost in the form Of
brine, besides those particles Of butter
near the pockets will contain more salt
than those farther away.
Best results are obtained by allow.
ing the butter to drain we'll after wash
ing and then apply the salt. In no
case should salt be added till the but
ter has assumed a gathered condition.
When the butter is medium soft
after being worked. 1t has been found
that from three-fourths to an ounce OF
salt for each pound OF butter Is not
far from the correct AMOUNT.

AGE TO BREED HEIFERs.
Time Varies with the Animal and the
Purpose She Is to Serve.

Farmers differ as to the best time
to breed heifers. 1t is probably true.
as a whole, that most of our heifers
are bred too young which undoubtedly
decreases their size and efficiency. If
we want all the size possible heifers
should not be bred before they are
10 or 20 months old. If they are
bred younger than this they will
undoubtedly be somewhat stunted and
will never attain the size they would
have had If the CESSATION period had
been delayed until later in life. Dairy
heifers that are MIXED by hand can
be bred earlier than the beef heifers
for the reason that milking by hand
is not SO great a tax on the system as
IS the sucking of a vigorous calf.
Then, too, dairy capacity should be
developed as early as possible. To
make the best kind of a beef COW a
heifer should not be bred until she
is 10 to 20 months old. OF course
considerable depends upon the size
of the heifer when bred which in turn
depends on the way she has been
raised. Some heifers are too sma:
to breed until they are two years old
because they have not been properly
raised. Then again, says The Farm.
er, other heifers which have made the
greatest possible gains in early life
are suitable to breed before the aver
age age. Breeding at an early age
will of course tend to promote prof.
cheney and it will also sometimes tend
on the other hand to weaken the sys.
so that disease is likely. Many
cases of habitual abortion are due to
the fact that the heifer was bre ! be- |
fore her system was strong enough to
sustain the strain Of pregnancy. It
generally be taken as a safe rule
hat we should not breed heifers Until
they have the size of a norma, IS.
heifer or until they slow
~ their vigor and health that they IRE
for the duties Of maternity.

FALL WHEAT ULTuR
Condition of Soil an Important Factor
in Growing the Crop.

Fall wheat requires a soil reason.
ably rich in humus. Humus Is neces.
sary to furnish the little nitrogen
needed, to assist in rendering the min.
eral plant foods available and to keep
the soils in a proper physical condi-
ton. Then a soil rich in humus usual.
ly has the proper water holding
power. This is a very important essen.
tial in the production Of any kind of
small grain.
The preparation of the soil has
much to do with it's water holding
power. If the ground is fall plowed
and then sown to wheat, the particles
of the soil below where the grains of
wheat lie will be too porus for the
water to rise from the subsoil to the
grains. If there should be a period o
dry weather, the grains will not ger
inmate, or the plants will die for want
of moisture if the seed has germin.
ated.
While it is important to have the
surface layer of the soil mellowed to
prevent loss of moisture by apo
ton, it is also important that the layer
of soil below the point where the
seeds lie, be sufficiently packed to in.
sure the capillary rise of moisture. For
this reason, it is best not to fall pillow
the ground that is to be sown to fall
grain. Simply sow the seed and cult
vate it in with a %cultivator or disk
and then harrow twice. If 1t is sown
between corn rows, all the better. The
corn will shade the ground and pre-.
vent loss of a great deal of moisture
by evaporation and putting in the
seed with the cultivator or grain drill
will mellow the surface layer suf.
~ficiently to establish a dirt mulch and
at the same time the layer of the soil
below the surface layer will not be
disturbed,
If the ground is to be sown to
wheat next spring, fall blowing is
many times very beneficial. 1t mel
lows the soil, giving the frosts a
chance to act upon the unsoluble min
eral plant foods and by the time the
wheat is sown in the spring the
ground has become compacted enough
that the moisture in the subsoil
can rise by capillary attraction.

Why HE wANTED LAW.
Man Had to Be Forced Into Paths Of
Righteousness.

Congressman James E. Watson Of
the Sixth Indiana district told a story
while in town recently, anent the op-
GRAFTON of the pure food law, and in
tended to illustrate his expressed
theory that more people would be
good if they had to be.
1T was while we were wrestling
with the pure food bill at Washing
ton" he said, that l got a letter from
home, written by a man from whom 1
bought a big quantity of maple strip
each year. He urged me to fight for
the pure food bill. Now, l couldn't
help remembering, to save my life,
that this man bought five barrels of
brown sugar at the opening of the
maple molasses season. So l wrote
him a note suggesting that advocacy
OF a pure food measure seemed odd
from a man who bought five barrels
OF brown sugar before beginning the
manufacture of his pure maple strip.
Never feazed him. He turned my
letter over and wrote on the back: L
know it, but l want the law to make

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the

beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying,
thickness, which not only destroys the
