trial conditions. No n doubts thai
a trade revival is at hand and when
the dinner-pail brigade is recruited to
it's full strength, the moderate supply
of beef that reached Western markets
during the first half of the current
year would fall far short of meeting
killers needs. From January to the
middle of August Chicago's receipts
Of cattle averaged a daily shortage OF
about 1900 head compared with the
same period Of 1908. Unless the
signs of the times are awry a similar
deficiency in supply during the first
half of 1910 will develop something
akin to a famine.
Cattle will be fed because the
feeder is equipped for making beef,
is welded to the business and has no
disposition to let his plant remain
idle. He realizes the handicaps he
labored under this year and that
elimination of two of them, an excess
sive feed bill and a narrow market,
is more than probable. Has feed con-
sumption in the United States during
the first half of 1909 been equal to
that of the present the accumulation
of heavy steers in feedlots, held back
in the vain hope Of nursing the mar
ket would have been impossible.

b Buttermaking.

If the milk is placed in the cellar
or ave where there are decaying veg
etables or fruit, it will quickly abb
sorb the odors from them. Such
Ilaces are entirely unfit for the stor-
age of milk. The dairyman should
have a building, set apart from the
barns and other places from which
Objectionable odors might come, for
the exclusive use of the dairy. This
building need not be very large, but
must be constructed so that it can
easily be kept clean and cool. A &C.
ment floor should be laid, as it is the
easiest to clean, is cool and does not
rot from moisture. If the walls are
built of stone, brick or concrete, so
much the better, for such walls keep
out the heat.
The roof construction should be
such that it will effectually turn the
heat of the sun. If the roof is not of
concrete it should be built double, SO
that an air current will pass between
the upper and lower parts. Walls and
ceilings should be covered with &C.
ment plaster, whether wood or stone
is used in their construction. This
finish, if properly put on, is easy to
clean and does not readily become az
fected with mold or decay.
Provision must be made for an
abundance of water, and the pumping
arrangement must be such that the
fresh water from the well or spring
will flow through the dairy house. 1t
should run into a tank built deep
enough to allow the complete SUBJ
merging of the milk and cream cans.
The tank should have sufficient width
and length to hold all that it may be
necessary to use. A tank built up OF
concrete and finished with a cement
surface is the most economical in the
long run, and is much more satisfac-
tory. Provision must be made for
draining it out for the purpose of
cleaning. Wooden tanks are usually
a source of trouble from leaks and
decay. Iron tanks do not last long
because they become rusty.-E. II.

Timothy or O v

1t is a constant surprise to us to
receive 80 many inquiries as to the
comparative values of clover and
timothy as soil builders. Clover is a
soil builder, but timothy is nothing
of the kind. In fact, timothy, partic-
ularly when ripened for seed, is as
distinctly a soil robber as any Of the
grains. 1t as much a surface feeder,
and gets as little from the air, which
is practically nothing.
Clover is just the reverse of all
this. 1t goes deep into the subsoils.
feeds considerably from the air, and
adds certain nourishments to the soil,
which are entirely foreign to timo-
thy. Turned under, clover adds far
more to the soil than timothy, largely
for the same reasons that alfalfa
does. When we divide crops into
their two classes, soil builders and
soil robbers, timothy goes in with the
grains, while clover most surely
ranks high among the soil builders.
As a hay or pasture timothy bal
ances up well with clover and for this
and ether reasons is very often sown
with clover, but not because it in any
way takes its place in building up the
soils fertility. On some soils clover
seems to do better after a dense
green timothy sod has been turned
under and well rotted. Almost any
crop will follow. such treatment and
do better than it would on land from
which only grain crops had previous
ly been taken. The effect of the tim
othy, however, is largely mechanical,
adding slightly to the humus, and a
little to the fibre or root binding. AS
an enrichment of the soil it has done
little. Some of the very poorest lands
Of northern Minnesota have been
made SO by growing timothy for seed
and hay, the latter going to the lum-
Der camps without returning anything
to the soil but a few dry decaying
roots when the sod had to be re-
newed. Growing timothy occasional
ly with grain crops is mechanically
better for the soil than constant grain
growing, and if fed to stock and re-
turned as. manure is very decidedly
better.-Dakota Farmer.

WINTERGREEN OIL.
Process of Distillation From the Bark
of Sweet Birch.

L IoNCSS VI
of Sweet Birch.
Oil of wintergreen was formally
distilled from the leaves of the win
tergreen, commonly called in Maine
box berry or che~ckerberry, and is
worth about S. a pound troy. Almost
all Of the natural oil now on the mar
ket is obtained from sweet birch, a
tree growing at its best in the
Southern Appalachian Mountains.
The bark alone is used for the dis
tillation of the oil and it is essential
that it be green, for if it is allowed
to dry out before distilling it becomes
worthless for the production of OIL.
The bark is stripped from the
trunks and stumps and the longer
limbs, but the twigs and the bark OF
the smaller limbs are not used. Inc
bark is brought to the distiller ana
put on the floor, around which there
is a narrow strip of lumber forming a
shallow box. Here it is Clipped up
fine with axes, ready for distilling.
The distillery consists Of a floor on
which the bark is Clipped and one
or more watts or stills with their con-
densers, and these are rooted over
with a framework of poles covered
with bark. This serves to protect the
birch bark from the drying sun and
the fires from the rain, as well as
shielding the workers from the
weather.
The stills are three feet wide by
four feet long and three deep. They
are constructed of wood with iron
bottoms and steamtight tops that can
be removed. The still is placed in a
position on two parallel rows OF nat
rocks. one under each side of the DoX,
leaving a space underneath to place
the fire. The smoke escapes through
a. low rock chimney or pipe at the
rear.
Inside the box and about four
inches above the iron bottom IS a
grating of wooden strips four inches
wide and placed about n inch apart.
Uncer this grating water is boiled by
a fire placed on the ground under the
iron bottom and the Clipped bark
rests on the grating. The grating
thus keeps the bark out of the water,
and the steam alone as 1t rises
through the still filed with bark ex-
tracts the oil.
The condenser consists OF a
straight iron water pipe which is laid
in a trough through which the water
from a brook is DETECTED. The con-
densed water and oil is collected in a
glass jar, the mouth of which is COW
cred with a cloth through which the
oil and water are strained. The oil
sinks to the bottom Of the jar; the
smoky water as it overf1ows returns
by another pipe to the bottom OF the
still and is boiled over again and
keeps up the necessary supply OF
water for the distillation.-Bangor
Commercial.
