A VEGETABLE COMPASS.

The compass plant grows in the
prairies of western North America
and, as it's name indicates, is of great
value to the wanderer. 1t is dwarf
variety of the osier, is perennial, at
tains usually a height of three feet
six inches and has head of yellow
flowers.
The help it renders the traveller
arises from the fact that the long
leaves at the base of the stem, which
are placed, not fiat, as in plants gen.
orally, but in a vertical position, pre-
sent their edges north and south.
The peculiar propensity of the foil
age of this plant is attributed to the
fact thtat both surfaces of its leaves
display an equal receptivity for light.

This successful dairyman is just as
expert at butter making as he is in in
creasing milk flow. For years he has
won first prize on butter at the Mis-
souri, State Fair and elsewhere. He
uses a United States Cream Separator
to get all the butterfat out of his milk
and states that it grealy aided him in
improving his methods of buttermaking
as we'll as saving him hundreds of
dollars in cream he otherwise would
have lost. For ten years he used one

Lastly, but not of least Importance,
is that part commonly known as the
lefty milk supply" There is no
method provided by which the value
of this supply as a whole can be de-
termined, but it is of large proper
tons and, including cities and towns,
will run into the millions.
In estimating the total value of our
dairy products, the farm butter must
not be forgotten, as this, in the same
sense as the egg, furnishes the daily
legal tender of very many farmers in
sections where the creamery, con-
densary and cheese factory do not
reach The total of dairy products for
the year will not fall far short OF
$S,OO0,OO0.
This association and these annual
gatherings in convention will have
served the people well if thereby the
dairy industry in all it's branches is
stimulated to continued growth and
prosperity, for there is ample room
for all to expand many fold in the ter
ritory now developed and in that but

s11s.ea PROFIT PER COW.

Mr.. S. w. Coleman, of Sedalia, Mo-,
made clear profit of $832.50 from
seven COWS in one year on only ten
acres. Think of it, only ten acres and
seven cows! That is profit of
$11893 per COW year, or $83.25 per
acre. 1t shows what one man can do
with little capital on few acres by
right methods.
A former Secretary of the Missouri
State Dairyman's Association, COM
menting on the success of Mr.. Cole
man, emphasized the following i'm
portant points in his career:
Mr.. Coleman began small. His cows
averaged only about IT'S lbs. of butter
each year. He improved them to an
average of 400 lbs.
Mr.. Coleman, not being a strong
man, must buy his winter feed. Were
he robust and able to handle enough
land to produce his winter feed he
could show much better results.
Mr.. Coleman himself puts his finger
on a crucial point in farming when he
says: "The majority of farmers have

FOUR PHASES OF DAIRYING.

The following is from a paper read
by State Dairy and Food Commission
er L. Davies at the State Dairy Meet
ing held at Chehalis. He says:
There are four distinct phases of
commercial dairying developed in this
state: Butter making, cheese making,
the condensed milk branch and the
supply of milk and cream for our cit
les and towns. few words as to
each, particularly referring to expert
ence obtained in gathering statistics
as required by our law, may be of in
terest to the convention.
There is no phenomenal increase in
the amount of butter manufactured
despite the fact that the dairy indus
try as a whole has made a wonderful
growth. The reason for this is not hard
to find as the demand for fresh milk
for city and town supply, and the call
made for it by our splendid condesa-
ries has grown even faster than new
dairy sections are opened up.
The value for the Washington
creamery butter output alone for the
year ending October 81, 1908, will
reach close to $3,000,000, a substantial
but not large increase over last year.
A close examination of the returns
show that the increase has been much
more marked on the east side of the
mountains than on the western slope,
this probably being principally due to
the rapid growth of more large cities
on the western side and to the fact
that condensaries are all located west
of the Cascades.
When I assumed the duties of this
office there were some $50 state
brands out; of these several hundred
have been cancelled at request of the
holders, some have been cancelled for
cause. Annual statistics just gathered
show report from 230 holders OF
state brands with few to hear from.
Since my last biennial report some
10 applications for state brands have
been made, of which approximately
As per cent have been granted and DO
per cent refused, the latter not scoring
the points as required by the act OF
the Legislature of 1905. The facts
and figures thus furnished by holders
of state brands themselves show con-
clusively that the tendency is to con-
making business in creameries, rather
than to stimulate it's manufacture on
the farm.
The production of cheese shows
steady decline. This can only be at
tributed to the relatively low price OF
cheese and the aforementioned de-
mand for whole milk. The value of
cheese manufactured under the state
brand for the year ending October 81,
1908, will not exceed $4,000.
For some years l have been aware
of the Importance of the condensed
milk industry and of it's ever increas-
ing magnitude, but not until this Of
flee last spring undertook the sanitary
inspection of dairies furnishing milk
to the cities and towns, did l realize
the proportions to which it had grown

and its Importance to the communi-
ties where located. 1t furnishes an
other splendid example of that oft re-
peated saying, "The COW is mans best
friend" The output last year was ap-
proximately $3,O00,OOO in value.

Birth of the German Navy.
From the London Globe.


Some idea of the wonderful progress
of the German navy is gained when one
realizes that Vice Admiral Reinhold Won
Werner, who death is announced at the
age of eight-four. saw practically the
birth of that navy as we now know 1t.
When the German fleet was sold by auc-
ton in 1852 Werner secured commission
in the new Prussian navy, and during
the war with Denmark he commanded
one of the three steam frigates. then
the principal ships of the Prussian navy.
At the date of the formation of the
federal navy Werner was director of
dockyards at Danzig. In 1869, however.
the deceased vice admiral returned to
active service, and at the time Of his re-
tirement in 1878 he held the command OF
the Baltic station. He devoted the last
thirty years Of his life to the patriotic
task OF popularizing the idea OF that sea
power which he had seen grow from in
significant proportions to a strength
which has done SO much to stimulate the
shipbuilding of other nations. He was a
prolific writer. and his authorship ex-
tended over long period. Even at the
time of the battle of Jasmund. he at
tracted attention by a work on the Prus-
sian navy, its present and its future.
