LONE STAR DIARIES
Producers Are Consumers of
Millions of Gallons of Milk.
creamerles Of Texas Furnish But
Small Portion Of Immense Amount
of Butter Used-BuIk of Product
Goes to Four Big Cities.

According to THE Dairy Industry OF
fexas," bulletin just issued by the
department of agriculture, and writ
ten by Prof. Charles H Alvord, profes-
sor of agriculture at the Agricultural
and Mechanical college, Texas has
produced PSI 1,342,69S gallons of milk
according to latest statistics obtain
Rble), and sold only 8,O91 ,205 gallons
of this amount. This would indicate
that the excess of 243,00O,000 gallons
of milk was consumed by the pro-
ducers
Even the man living in the city kept
his family COW, says Prof. Alvord, and
produced his own dairy products.
Prof AIvord says:
In the year 19O5-06 the department
of agriculture Of the United States re-
ports the following number of pounds
Of condensed milk used in the follow
Ing cities: Austin, IA 900 pounds;
Dallas, 769, ,48O pounds; Fort Worth,
566,4OO pounds; Houston, 2,231, ,136
pounds; Galveston, 800, 900 pounds;
San Antonio, 7O3,2OO pounds; Waco,
1926 pounds, or a total for one
year of 5,688,442 pounds.
Ills dIlOuuI Ol COuucuS0u LIlIh
will represent approximately an equiv
alent of 100000 gallons, or almost
one-fourth the amount of sweet milk
which was reported sold in the entire
state by the census of 1900. From
the same report of the department
Of agriculture, we find that the daily
amount of milk sold in Dallas in
19O5-O6 was 1000 gallons; Fort Worth,
600 gallons; Galveston, 1,120 gallons;
Waco, 1000 gallons, or a total of
3,1S2,8O0 gallons for these four cities
during the year.
The same cities during the same
length of time consumed approximate
ly 100000 pounds of condensed milk,
which would represent an equivalent
of 100000 gallons of sweet milk, or
an equivalent of fOur-tenths Of the
amount of sweet milk they pur-
chased"
Prof. Alvord also finds that practi-
cally the same conditions obtain as to
butter, that the Texas creamerieS have
produced only a small proportion of
the butter consumed in the state. The
cities mentioned consumed in 1905-06
2,S12,S70 pounds of butter, or a con-
6iderably greater amount than was
produced by all Of the Texas cream
cries.

Why does Great Britain buy It's oat-
meal of us2

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Scotch Oats to Great Britain
and Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Scotch Oats. This
brand is without rival; is packed in
regular packages, and in hermetically
sealed tins for hot climates. 81

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

"When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept US awake all
hours Of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally l got a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
ard half to see if it would return
but 1t never has and today his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Keep the young pigs growing thrift
lily.
Don't try to make a COW give down
her milk with a shovel or club.
In the dairy large yields per animal
means less cost in making them.
Irregularity in milking does more
harm than is generally realized
Butter is bitter because of impure
foods or from holding the cream toe
long.
Don't let the ugly dog get his ex.
ercise chasing the COWS to and from
pasture.
There is money in poultry. You
know 1t. Stop playing with poultry
and make it a business.
The ripening of cream is known by
it's turning slightly acid without be
coming bitter or in any way bad.
A poor COW will give poor milk
even with the richest feed, while q
good COW will give rich milk on poor
feed.
If growing pigs have all the slops
they can consume they will make q
better growth than if given a good
range and fed on corn.
Pigs will make a better growth OF
less feed if allowed the run of a good
clover pasture than with any othel
plan of feeding during the summer.

That they should increase is greatly
to be desired. The increase of birds
means a corresponding decrease O

CHEAP FRAME FOR HAY BARN

Plan Given Herewith.
By J. WESLEY GRIFFIN

On many farms beautiful buildings
could occupy the space given to old,
unsightly shacks - buildings which
would shelter all surplus hay and fOd-
der, and they would pay their first
cost each year used.
One of the cheapest and yet most
substantial buildings may be con-
structed after the plan in the accom-
panying sketch.
Two-by-four stuff may be used for
small buildings, yet where the struc-
ture is to be 16 or IS or "a feet in
