BEST PRODUCT PAYS MOST
Decided Waste of Time to Make Any.
thing But the Highest Grade
of Butter.

It is not profitable under any con-
ditions to make country butter" II
you cannot make a good product and
place it on the market so as to COM
mand the price of good butter, don't
make any. If you have the ability to
make a good article, secure the price
to which its quality entities it by put
ting it up in neat, clean attractive
packages, with your brand upon it.
If you sell through grocer, see that
he does not ruin the flavor of your
butter by putting it in an insani-
tary ice box or that he does not inoc.
ulate it with rancid butter or other
bacteria-infected articles before it
reaches the consumer, otherwise your
reputation as a butter maker is ruined.
If you have ten or more cows or five
genuine dairy COWS, it will pay you to
use a separator. Your cream will be
in better condition and the milk will
be fresh and sweet for feeding calves
or pigs. Unless you have an abun-
dance of pure, cool well water con-
veniently located to cool the milk and
keep the cream and butter, or plenty
of ice and refrigerator, it is not ad-
visable to make butter in summer
time.
1t ay be a hardship for some
housewives to give up the pittance
they get for country butter" but
believe that even a woman is entitled
to a fair compensation for her labor.
The same milk, time and work that
are put into ordinary butter making
would give better returns if devoted
to growing calves, pigs and poultry,
and If the returns from the
calves, pigs and poultry would
be given to the farm wife for
her very own, as the butter money is,
the results would be still better. If
you insist on making butter in a small
way, then supply yourself with the
necessary appliances for doing it well
and put your product on the market
in the best possible condition.

SELECTION OF DAIRY COWS.
Many Essential Points to Be consid-
cred by Dairyman in Gathering
His Herd.

Cows for the wholesale and retail
milk trade should be selected from
the Red Polls, Holstein, Durham and
Ayrshire grades. For cream and but
ter the Guernsey and Jersey should
be chosen. Cows from the vigorous
native cattle are often found having
extraordinary milking qualities. The
larger mixers we ever had were
grade Durham and Ayrshire cows
raised in the Valley of Virginia. AS
rule the progeny of these extra milk
ers, where the dame is served by a
pure bred male of established pedi-
gree, become the most profitable cows.
The heifer calves from such cows
should be raised-when they carry the
marks indicating good mixer This
mark is the upward growth of the hair
on the inside of the thigh of the calf,
from Immediately behind the udder,
as high as the hair extends. If the
hair is found running up in a smooth,
unbroken column, all other things be-
ing equal, with good care and careful
feeding, with moderate amount of
wheat bran and whole oats, a valuable
COW may be raised with scarcely fail
ure. There are several other signs
or conditions Indicative of valuable
milking qualities-such as: Smooth
and fair-sized teats, well-placed on the
udder, large and well-defined milk
veins, slim neck, yellow, smooth skin
apparent about the eyes and nose
are sure indications of good cow Civ
ing rich milk. The calf for the milk
dairy should be fed to make bone
and muscle, and large, well-devel-
oped frame, and not for fat.
Dairymen having an abundance O.
pasture, with enough tillage land to
raise the hay and fodder and most of
the grain, will ind it the most prot1t-
able to raise their cows instead of
buying fresh cows to replace those
that are MIXED out. A dry COW, un-
less of fair size and in good beef con-
dition, will not bring more than s25
"a fresh cow without the calf cannot
be had for less than $40-and fire.
quently the cow is dear at that. If
COWS have to be bought it is advisable
to buy direct from the owner, and not
from the cow dealers.

but elsewhere foreigners are relative
ly few. While Bolivia suffers from
not having access to either ocean ex-
cept by rail through Peru or Chilli on
the west or Argentina in the east, her
connection by rail with the latter
country makes an outlet to the At
lantic coast which will be of immense
value in the development Of the coun-
try, for the immigrants push farther
and farther north and west as Argen-
tina becomes settled, and will event
ually begin to enter Bolivia.
Practically all of these countries
offer rich fields for investment and
for straight business. They are all
new in the sense that they possess
immense areas of fertile and virgin
lands, mineral deposits and forests of
every variety of valuable wood; that
the population is small and constant
ly growing and that good roads and
railroads are very much needed, as
well as other modern conveniences
and utilities. Very few Americans az
yet have the foresight to get in"
here as have the English, who have
hundreds of millions of pound ster-
ling invested in South America. New
York bankers, however, contracted
with the Bolivian government several
years ago to construct various lines of
railroad, and after building some 200
miles sold the contract to an English
company. The Americans look for
quick money, and the English for q
long investment.
Many American manufacturers have
overlooked the fact that these coun-
tries have patent and trademark laws
and have suffered in ignoring them.
came cross one instance of the kind
in Paraguay, where one of the best
American make of arms can be sold
under the manufacturers own name,
because he neglected to have it regis
tered. In another place well-known
American medicated soap was imi-
tated in Germany and sold as genuine.
However, here in Bolivia Chicago in
ventor recently tried to have his in
vention patented, and after sending
his lawyer, whom l have since met,
over 5000 and waiting months without
result, gave it up in despair. He was
unfortunate in the lawyer, and also
in wanting a patent in Bolivia, for
here the law is very old and cumber-
some. That same lawyer pretended
to try to get me a copy of the patent
law and failed. l got the law, but he
doesn't represent me in La Paz. But
in most of the Spanish-American coun-
tries these laws are modern and SIM
pie and a trademark may be regis
tered or an invention patented for a
smaller sum than that named.
President Monies read an interest
ing message on the occasion of the
opening of the Bolivian congress, in
which he referred to the cordial re-
lations of the government of Bolivia
with all the nations of the old and
new world, and particularly to the
good will and friendliness of the neigh
boring republics, and the satisfactory
economic and commercial conditions
of the foreign commerce of the coun-
try so potent in promoting and extend
ing the international relations of the
republic.

are noted for their milk-producing

that are of dairy conformation and
will produce no more beef than the

cow BREAKS BUTTER RECORD
Seven Days. Yield Exceeds That Of
Any Other Animal Tested
So Far.

The milk of Grace Fayne seconds
Homestead, the Holstein cow which
recently died in New York, was tested
for butter by representative of
the Cornell university experiment
station, Ithaca. N. Y, during the lat
ter part of March, 1909, and by the
Babcock test showed yield in seven
days of 28.44 pounds of butter fat. AS
such records are commonly stated by
the Herd-Book association this yield
of butter fat is equivalent to 1856
pounds commercial butter at 80 per
cent fat.
This yield exceeds that of any other
cow tested under the present scientific
systems in use at experiment stations,
which are to-day the only true tests.
and is a wonderful example of the
capacity and development of cows of
this famous breed of dairy cattle. The
previous high record was held by a

SOME GOOD DAIRY NOTES.

The milk must not be adulterated
in any way.
The hands of mixers must be
washed and thoroughly dried imme-
diately before milking.
The hands and teats should be kept
dry during milking. Moistening the
hands with milk is condemned.
Ice should be used in cooling milk
as very few springs are cold enough
for the purpose.
No person having any communi-
cable disease, or one caring for per-
sons who have, shall be allowed to
handle the milk or milk utensils.

Breed Straight and Do No Crossing.

Experiments in breeding looking to
the evolution of market types are not
to be encouraged among farmers.
Let farmers follow beaten paths in
this matter. Follow those which have
been tried and proved. One of the
most common mistakes made by breed
ers seeking to develop market types
is that of cross breeding. Some men
believe that if a Poland-China and 4
Berkshire are individually good pork
types a combination of the two would
make a better type. Accordingly they
cross the two breeds. The result is
that while they make advantageous
gains in some respects inevitable sac
rifices are suffered which usually Off
set the benefits derived. The best
plan is to breed straight and do the
crossing with feed.
