BUTTER EAT PRICES

led TO desert the home creamery be-
cause of higher prices offered Temporal
rily by the centralizer plant for the
purpose OF killing competition. During
the latter part OF August, the time
when the comparison OF prices was
made. a local creamery was paying
2S15 cents per pound for butter fat.
while the centralizer stations In towns

their own hands they pay as little as
they please and let disgruntled patrons

How to Care For Gas Stove Iron..

When n gas stove is used for heating
the irons the irons will become rough
despite the best of care and the only
way in which they can be kept smooth
Is by constant care. Irons frequently
should be washed I'm warm water and
soap. The water should be free from
any grease. and the irons should be
washed with clean cloth. Irons that
become rough OH the gas stove can be
made smooth by rubbing them briskly
on piece OF sandpaper. The sand
paper should be nailed to small
piece OF wood. and this should be kept
with the irons. so that IL will be
ready for use whenever 1t is wanted.
The irons should be rubbed on n piece
of paraffin to make them smooth and
so that they Will iron easily. With
proper care irons can be kept so
smooth and nice that it is n pleasure
to work with them.

NINEreEN BUSHELS PEA ACRE


In many sections OF the oat belt
there has been a marked deterioration
In the oat yield during the past two or
three years, and so pronounced has
this been that comment or two
touching the situation may be worth

seems In part due TO poor seed. but
possibly IN larger measure 10 the fact
that the grain was not sown with the
disk drill, as II should have been. but
was broadcasted In n slack and SLOW
enly manner. with the result that the
stand was very poor. Contributing to
this result is another factor that is
even more ndamental-namely. n
gradual depletion OF the soil by an i'm.
proper method OF tillage TO the point
where II is not capable OF producing a
satisfactory yield. In n list OF some
twenty men whose thrashing returns
were reported TO the writer recently
the average yield was but nineteen
bushels TO the acre. the lowest being
eleven bushels and the highest thirty

times as much. The farm which pro-
