Slim Milk
however.

At the West Virginia experiment
station it has been found that skim
milk for feeding laying hens is worth
from ~ to cents a quart. Other
experiments have fully proved that it
has equally as great value for feed
Ing pigs.
Figuring at this rate, the milkman
who sells whole milk is selling from
80 to 80 cents worth Of skim milk to
each can, and the general market
prices Of a can of milk is close around
$1.25. Now, this can of milk contains
enough cream to make four pounds
Of butter, which is worth about 81,
leaving only about 25 cents for the
skim milk sold, or loss of from 35
to So cents on each can over making
the cream into butter and feeding the
skim milk. Also, when the milk is
fed on the farm more fertilizer is
made, which makes the difference
still greater in favor of keeping and
feeding the skim milk
Where inc can secure select trade
for whole milk at extra price it will
pay to sell the whole milk and buy
extra feeds and fertilizers, but sell
ing whole milk at less than 81 for a
40-quart can is not profitable when
one considers the future of the land
on which he is dairying.

Dafrying In Winter.

There are many advantages in hav-
ing cows come fresh in winter, when
all dairy products sell at high price.
In many places the price of butter
is from 20 to 80 per cent higher in
winter than in summer.
When the cows calve in the spring
they generally milk we'll until the pas
lures dry up, when the flow Of milk
quickly falls OF, so that by the time
stable feeds begin the cows are almost
dried up. Now, If the cows come fresh
in the fall, they produce a good flow
Of milk during the winter months,
and in the spring, when they are
turned on the grass, this acts as a
second freshening and thus lengthens
the period of milk production.
Another distinct advantage in win
ter dairying is that during this sea-
son the farmer is not so busy with
other work, consequently he can give
more time to the care of the COWS,
the milk and the cream than is posi-
BILE during the busy season of the
year. When winter dairying becomes
more generally practiced, the subject
Of winter feeds will be given more at
tention. Of these silage is one of the
most important, since one acre of good
silage material will yield as much feed
as three acres of pasture.

PASSING OF THE TRAPPER.

The forward march of civilization has
reached the wilds of the Canadian north,
and trappers report that their business is
rapidly becoming improbable on account
of the frequency of the settlements. That
state of affairs is to be expected and the
wonder is hat the situation has not be
come more acute long ago. 1t is remark
able that the business has continued
profitable.
History has repeated itself in this as in
all other things. The advance guard of
civilization was years behind a class of
hardy trappers who earned their liveli-
hood in the solitude of the forests by
taking animals for their furs. AS civil
cation advanced the number of trappers
became larger and the amount of game
diminished until there was no longer a
profit to be had from the business.
1t began with Maine and Massachu-
sets and continued to the westward I'M
til the United States was no longer tena-
BILE for the trapper. The Hudson Bay
company preserved the frozen north of
Canada for half a century after the
United States had ceased to be a profita-
BILE hunting ground, but the onward
march of the railroads and the ever rest
less wave of homeseekers has at last adj
yanced to the very Outposts of the Hud-
son bay territory. Gold and wheat have
been the lodestones, and the trapping
business suffers.
Where will we get our furs in the
future? We will raise them. For farm
ing, skunk farming, cat farming and the
hundred and one other kinds of animal
raising will take the place of the trap
per and his gun. Other fur bearing ami
mails will soon be taught to eat out of the
hand Of man just as the domestic ami
mails of the farm have been doing for
centuries. Man will simply enlarge his
control of the lower animals, enlarge his
control over the fur bearing as well as
the food bearing animals.-Kennebec
Journal.

many wealthy women in Berlin to fol-
low her example. Many women who OBJ
jet to giving away their gowns part

Flies feed on food and also on filth.
They go from the one to the other. In
this way they carry disease germs to
the table. One fly may convey six mil

Flies breed in manure heaps, out
houses, refuse, ash-pits, and all decom-
posing animal or vegetable matter, and
and unclean places. Do not allow de-
caying material of any sort to accum-

exist, cover with lime or kerosene oil.
