GOVERNMENT FOR FARMERS.
Legislation In Australia Makes the
Dairy Business Profitable.

Legislation In Australia Makes tho
Dairy Business Profitable.
It may interest American farmers to
know that in Australia the govern
ment has come to the aid Of agricul-
ture in a satisfactory manner. This is
particularly true Of dairy farming.
The provincial government maintains
at Calgary the largest and finest dairy
station and cold storage plant in all
the west. A few years ago the farm
ers Of southern Alberta became. dis
satisfied with the private creameries
then in operation and asked the gov
eminent to take charge of the bust
ness. The government is especially
sol1citous for the prosperity of farm
ers, and the public policy has no pur-
pose. that precedes their best interest.
and government creameries tool the
place of the old private concerns.
These creameries are equipped upon
the most modern plans, and, being con-
Quoted with no thought of profit, but
solely In the interests of the farmers,
their operation has been of enormous
benefit. They are called "co-opera-
tive" and really are just exactly that.
A chain Of them has been established
through the country sufficient and eff
cient to serve the whole farming COM
muntty. They are subject to the con-
troll of their patrons, through boards
Of directors, and under government
management.
Most of the patrons separate their
milk at home by means of hand sep
arators and takes-their cream to the
government stations, say three or four
times a week. There it is carefully
tested, weighed and credited up. At
the end of each month each patron
gets credit for the equivalent of his
cream in butter and receives a cash
advance equal to 10 cents a pound.
Thirty or sixty days later a check for
the balance is sent him from the de-
partment of agriculture direct-that is
to say, the government actually takes
his cream, makes his butter and pays
him the market rate in cash and a gov
eminent check. This is neither pa
ternalism nor socialism. 1t is a farm
ers' government, doing business with
and for the farmers. In other words,
it is simply business, and good bust
ness at that, for all concerned. The
average price paid at government
creameries in 1908 was 25.43 cents.
OF course these creamertes have to
be maintained, and this is accomplish
ed by making a charge of 4 cents a
pound. One cent of this goes to a
fund for the purchase of buildings and
machinery, of which the farmers be-
come part owners to the extent of their
contributions.
All this would mean little If 1t did
not secure the best market advantages
for everybody concerned, but it does
that and in a fuller sense than
could be secured through any other
process. The government has consol-
idated the market and conducts the
sales, all In behalf of the producers.
The butter is sold through government
agencies, principally heretofore In
British Columbia and the Yukon dis
trict, but of late in growing quaint
ties to japan. A large export trade in
butter from southern Alberta has
sprung up In the japanese market.

Profit In Geese.

There is no fowl that will respond
to treatment or furnish better results
than the waterfowl. 1t will mature
Just as rapidly away from streams as
near them. A generous supply Of
drinking water Is all that is required.
There are many places on a farm that
are worthless for cultivation that
could be utilized with excellent results
for goose raising. Many farmers are
profting by this and adding to their
incomes annually. The care and at
tention necessary for raising geese are
very small when compared with the
returns, and the cost Of food is also
proportionately small in comparison
with the cost of food used for other
birds bred for market. A goose on
range will gather the largest portion
Of its food, consisting of grasses, in
sects and other animal and vegetable
matter to be found in the fields and
brooks.
The goose occupies the same place
among poultry that sheep do among
live stock and If cared for are just as

profitable in proportion. 1t is just as
necessary to pluck the feathers from
the goose as it is to shear the wool
from the sheep, and the product has a
great demand.
The Toulouse is one of the largest
breeds Of geese and is very profit
able, as 1t attains an enormous size
and when fattened brings a high price
in the market. 1t is a fairly good
layer, averaging about forty eggs in
a season. Some persons labor under
the delusion that geese do not lay IN
tn they are two years old or If they
do their eggs are not fertile. The eggs
from Toulouse and White Chinese
geese hatch almost as readily Is do
eggs from older geese. AS long as
geese have plenty of grass they will
need very little, If any, feed, excep'
during the laying season, when they
should be fed literally on some mash
fpod. Geese prefer bulky food.

reason TO expect anything to the
contrary. Our commissioners
