Intensive Dairy Farming

The question is often asked how
many COWS certain number of acres
VIII support. BY the question Is
meant that the entire energy of the
farm is to be devoted to raising food
for the dairy COW. A farm in a good
state Of fertility can be easily arrang-
ed so that one could keep a cow
TO every two acres II the land is all
good. rich, ttllable land. And one
would be able to raise both the forage
or bulky part of the ration, and the
grain ration, too. 1t could be done
In few years time with the proper
handling of the herd on the farm.
Three crops upon the farm will do
t-drst, corn; second, clover hay, and,
third, peas and oats. OF course, the
clover sod would be plowed down for
corn and then the corn ground be put
into peas and oats the following sea
son. With these three foods one can
make balanced ration for the dairy
COW without purchasing any other out
side food, either concentrated or
bulky.
The statement has often been made
that an acre Of good land will sup
port a COW the year around. One
dairyman made the remark that he
could keep two cows on an acre, but
practically the man who keeps one
COW on two acres is doing very good
business If he gets fair prices for the
product. 1t is fact that the demand
for milk, butter and cheese is inereas-
ing faster than cows and the prices
are continually advancing There is
no better business than dairying.-

Bitter Butter,

Bitter cream and butter may and
generally does result after the COW has
been feeding literally on moldy
hay, decaying roots and certain weeds
Another fruitful source of bitter cream
and butter is the holding of the cream
at too low a temperature, when objec
tionable bacteria get in their work
causing a pungent or bitter flavor
For best results cream should be cool
ed and held at a temperature of about
30 degrees for six or seven hours i'm.
mediately after separation, after which
1t should be ripened in a temperature
OF from so to 20 degrees. When it
begins to turn sour it is ready to be
churned, and then the sooner it is
churned the better. In small diaries,
where several separator skimmings
are required to make up the quantity
of cream for a churning, the cream
should never be run from the separa.
tor into the vessel holding previous
skimmings. One needs a cream can OF
sufficient size to hold all that is re-
CURED to make up the churning, and
such vessels should be kept in a place
where the temperature is about GO
degrees. Each skimming should be
cooled before being emptied into this
storage can. When fresh cream is
emptied 1t should be at once thoroug
ly incorporated with the contents OF
the car hy stirring with a spoon OF
ladle. Churning should not take place
within five or six hours after the last
cream has thus been added.-Field and

Oscar Asche, who, with his wife,

destroyer of drama.
While l was touring with a GER
tain highly respected manager we
were playing at a long famous old
playhouse in an ancient town. We
had billed Macbeth for the Friday
night, but during that day the theater
was burned down For our next week
there our chief contrived to borrow
a playhouse a little way out Of the
district. On reaching there to rehearse
on the Monday the manager received
q letter saying that the writer had
been given two dress circle orders for
the performance of Macbeth but rs
that play was not performed owing
to the destruction of the theater the
writer surmised that the manager
would remit the money value of those
orders. "-Tit-Bits.

The. quantity of this anthracite and
bituminous coal is not as yet dptar-
mined. but It certainly is not unlimited
and hence should not be wasted III

unless it be improperly mined. snr.
veyed area of about one hundred souara

these Goals. and it is probable that fnr.

A rough estimate of the quantity with.
in this surveyed area gave some 6.O00.
OOO,OOO tons, or more than one and q half
times the entire production of PennsyI-
vania since coal mining began. 1t ia
fair to assume that this coal is worth
81 ton, which would make its total
value about forty times as great as the
entire gold output of Alaska to the pres,
ent time. 1t is probable, therefore, that
the value of the coal fields exceeds that
of the gold reserves.
These Goals are, however, practically
untouched. for the only coat mining in
Alaska is that of some lignites for local
use. few years ago statistics showed
that Alaska's entire export of coal for a
year was four tons, while it produced
15 tons of gold. There are also some
