COST OF FEEDING.


From experience of feeders at the
experiment stations the pig increases
with greatest profit until six or sew
ten months old, when it has reached
the maximum. After that the gains
require larger amount of pork, and
they should be fattened and disposed
OF.
One bushel of corn made thirteen
and a half pounds of pork at six
months old, at seven months old one
bushel made 1872 pounds and eight
months old one bushe1 made 12.6
pounds.
While there are varying conditions
that. have their influence upon the
amount of gain made, it is general
principle that after six to seven
months the amount of gain from a
bushel of corn in on decreasing
scale, and it has been demonstrated
again and again that the first hum
dred pounds costs less than the sec
ond, and the third less than the
fourth hundred, and that to produce
the fourth hundred too. often costs
double as much as the second hun.

Guilty may come from the cows being

or thin cream, or because the cream
is not properly ripened. If the cows,
are old in milk, pasteurizing the

PRESERVATION OF POSTS.

One of the most practical plans
which the Forest Service has worked
out is what is termed the open tank"
method of treating climbers, a re-
suit of experiments conducted to OBJ
tain some cheap and simple process
of wood. preservation adapted for
timber in common use, for which the
pressure methods are too expensive.
The Forest Service has issued small
bulletin (Circular 101) which will be
sent free on application, in which are
given descriptions of the necessary
apparatus, together with diagrams OF
experimental tanks for treating fence
posts, telephone poles, and mine tim
bers, as well as diagram of a small
commercial plant. In this circular
consideration is given to the historys
description, theory and methods en-
p1oyed in the open tank process, with
its application and limitations
The open tank method is based up
on the use of an open tank. capable
of withstanding heat, and either
equipped with steam coils or so ar
ranged that a fire can be placed UNI
derneath. Extensive experiments by
the Forest Service with fence posts.
telephone poles, and mine timbers
have given satisfactory results, and
: 1T is believed that any of the preser-
yatiYes in general use can be applied
oy the open tank method for the
treatment Of fence posts, telephone
poles, mine props, small dimension
timber, cross ties, piling, and similar
t;nlhnrk.

A TRUE STORY.

It's a long recognized fact that hand
cream separators are the best and quick
est method to secure all the cream from
the milk of three or more COWS.
There are many different makes and
styles in the United States and Canada
which have their good and bad features.
The first thing that a person thinks of
in the purchase of any article is, (which
is going to bring me the most returns?"
In the dairying business, ''most returns"
butter fat from given quantity of milk
and this is what every owner Of cows is
looking for.
All makes Of separators claim to be
the best. natural enough, but 1t was
proven at the Pan-American Exposition
which was the last public. international
test, which was really the best separator
by actual tests.
In connection with all other makes of
separators exhibited. the U. S. Cream
Separator made the record breaking
showing, of skimming the milk from
about a dozen different breeds of COWS
in fifty consecutive tests with an aver
age of OBS butter fat left in the skim
milk
This remarkable record has never been
approached by any other make of cream
separator.
Notwithstanding the splendid charac-
ter of the work of earlier models of the
United States Separator. the improve
ments made in the 1908 u S. makes this
separator even more attractive than ever
TO dairy farmers, who quickly recognize
the sterling merits of this marvellous
cream producer. For the Improved
United States. as proved at the Pan
American Exposition. is the best Cream
Separator on the market.

A gasoline engine will do the work of

wanted The cost of fuel for a two

less than four cents an hour. No cheap
