VALUE OF MILK

Dairymen who are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of installing a milking

ested in the preliminary report re-
Gently issued by the Montana station
from which the following is taken.
@. Are the machines practicable?
A. For the small dairy OF ten or
twelve cows we would not consider the
laachines practicable unless the farmer
considers that the labor saved wonld
offset the cost for a small equipment
but for diaries of twenty-five to fifty or
a hundred cows the milking machine
may be considered as very successful
IN the matter of saving time and labor
O. How does the milking machine
compare with hand milking?
A. Milking machines will milk cows
as thoroughly as the average mixer
according to some authorities. while
others claim that hand milking gives
better results. The great gain is in the
amount of time saved and the fewer

The national grange was the potent
Influence in securing the enactment OF
the law removing the tax from de-
natured alcohol. And this organiza-
ton is pledged to carry out the policy,
having for It's object the production
and distribution of denatured alcohol
on large scale To this end a com
mittee has been organized which Is
called the farmers natio.~ committee
on Industrial alcohol. its purpose being
to promote the use of alcohol in the
Industrial arts and especially to en-
courage its use for light, heat and
power. to the end that new markets
for farm products shall be opened
modern improvements brought into the
rural home, the toll of the farmers
wife lessened and all the benefits OF
cheap alcohol diffused among the peo-
pie in the least possible time"
This committee is cooperating with
the executive committee of the nation
al grange, and among the prominent
state grange officials to be found
among its members are such men as

The need Of such an organization is
apparent from the unsatisfactc = prog

the farmers themselves. The cost o.

sary requirements of it's manufacture

DRIED SWAMP MUCK.
Its Benefit In Chemical Fertilizers II
Greatly Exaggerated.

Greatly Exaggerated
The practice of using dried muck
and peat in mixing chemical fertilizers
puts up a problem which farmers ought
to understand Thousands of tons Of
such muck are used-sold as muck
tankage.'' We learn of one case where
a man started growing celery In a
swamp and is said TO have nearly fail
ed at 1t Then he conceived the idea
of drying and pulverizing the soil of
that swamp and selling it to fertilizer
dealers This has brought him for
tune. Some samples of this dried pea
are said to contain nearly per cent
of nitrogen. others carry less. This MI
trogen is in an inert form and is of
little value as a plant food. Expert
ments in Illinois showed that such nj
trogen was worth about one-half cent
pound as compared with that in dried
blood costing Is cents. Yet the fer
tilizer manufacturer who sells this
muck mixed with other chemicals I'M
dertakes to charge Is cents a pound
for 1t when you buy 1t. For example
take o brand OF fertilizer which is
guaranteed to contain in each ton 16
pounds Of nitrogen. 100 pounds avail
able phosphoric acid and 100 pounds of
potash. It would be possible to supply
the potash and phosphoric acid in 200
pounds of muriate and 1000 pounds
of acid phosphate. Then by using 100
pounds of eottonseed meal and 500
pounds of dried muck they could pro-
vide more nitrogen than they guaran-
teed The object of using the cotton
seed meal is to color the muck and
thus prevent if possible. the chemist
from detecting it. But see what nice
game this is. The muck furnishes
ten or twelve pounds of nitrogen, which
gives the fertilizer valuation of from
S1.50 to So but which costs perhaps
20 cents. A farmer might use such a
fertilizer on his wheat this fall The
potash and phosphoric acid may help
but it is doubtful If his grandchildren
will see any benefit from the nitrogen
in the muck.
The excuse given for using the muck
is that it makes good filler and dries
out the other chemicals. No serious oh
lection can be made to its use as a
filler. but the nitrogen 1t contains
should not be valued in the fertilizer.
for it is not worth the price. 1t is near
" impossible to detect the muck when
cottonseed meal is used with it. The
best way to avoid it is to refuse to buy
low grade fertilizers or those very low
in nitrogen. 1t is Impossible to usa

ST. LOUIS.

William StiX, president of the Jew
ish Orphans asylum of Cleveland,
celebrated his seventieth birthday at
his home Saturday night, and was
showered with honors by the entire
Jewish community. Mr. Stix has been
president of Temple Israel of st. Louis
and is deeply interested in religious
and communal matters. There is prob
ably no greater philanthropist in the
West than Mr.. William Stix of ST.
Louis, now president of the orphan
asylum. At the breaking out of the
Civil war, Mr.. Silk formed part
nership with Mr. Henry Rice, which
was the beginning of the Rice
StiX company, locating generally
where the army would be, and selling
soldiers supplies. When Memphis
was occupied by the Union troops the
firm located in that city, where he re-
mained until 1868, when, in compli-
ance with the request left by his broth
cr. Aaron. who died in that year, that
the two families live together. Mr..
Stix moved to Cincinnati In 1884 he
moved to st. Louis. The following
beautiful sentiments, expressed by this
noble and true hearted philanthropist,
are typical of his lofty ideals: "The
little | have done was no more than
anyone with the same opportunities
would have done. l feel grateful to
the public for what they have done
for me and my family. In place OF
their being indebted to me. feel in
debtcd to them for the confidence and
good will shown me at all times, as
believe it helped to make my life a
happy one. To look at the children
of the orphan asylum, as well as those
who have been there and see them
smile. rewards me and convinces IN.
that we ought to Ike satisfied with the
work we are doing and have done. and
if there be any change. to try to I'M
prove. If the little | did was of any
benefit to any one. my dear wife de-
serves equal interests, as she helped
and did all that she could to make the
family and every one whom she knows
happy at all tines During the eight
years of his presidency the orphan
asylum has made great advancement
in every direction. No effort in be-
half of the institution is too arduoris
for him. lie is regarded by every one
of the 476 children i'm the institution
with the greatest love and veneration
lie derives the greatest pleasure from
giving pleasure to the inmates of this
asylum. Every Chanukah he sends
them gifts. Each child being permit
ted to select what they wish. The joy
these remembrances afford the little
ones is beyond description. During
his term of office Mr. Silk has never
been absent from board meeting Of
the asylum board except on account of
i'll health. and the board felt that it
could not better show it's appreciation
of his efforts than by holding the
quarterly meeting i'm his home city, in
commcmoration of his seventeenth
birthday.
