IN THE NORTHWEST.
Where Latest Inventions Are Used
BY the Ambitious Farmer.

The farmer Of the northwest talks
wheat, thinks wheat and dreams of
that cereal when he goes to bed. He
sows it on a big scale by thousands
of acres in some localities, and in
the cultivation and harvesting Of
his crops he uses the very latest in
ventions.
Times have changed since the days
Of the cradle and the wooden handle
rake, and there are no stumps where
the grain has to be hOed about the
roots as in the pioneer days of On
tario and Quebec. Instead of broad
acres Of virgin prairie soil over
which for centuries have roamed
countless herds of buffalo and other
animals great gang pIows drawn by
traction engines cut deep burrows,
swath eight or ten feet wide, and
some of the plows have harrows Of
the disc pattern attached which pull
Verize the seed bed and make it
ready for the planting. 1t is all over
quickly, and when the grain mods
in the breeze at harvest time the
reaping and threshing machine COM
bined is drawn by a score of horses
and the wheat is left in the field in
bags to be drawn to the nearest rail
road station, where it is GRADED at
the elevator, paid for at the current
market prices and held ready to be
put into the cars and sent to all
corners of the world.

BREAKS THE RECORD FOR OUTPUT
VifOqua Creamery Has its Banner Day
Business and Patrons Increase

Following statement is prepared and
published for information of public:
THE make of butter from January to
May l, 1911, is 139, 722 pounds at the
Viroqua creamery. From January first
to May /, 1910, the amount was 1903, =
955 pounds, gain for the first four
months over last year is So, 767 pounds.
The number of patrons now delivering
is 555, a gain of 10 over last year. On
Saturday May 9th, the number of
pounds of butter manufactured was
6, $50 from Fridays cream received.
And there was churned on Saturday
Friday and Saturdays cream delivery
8, 389 pounds butter, the greatest amount
ever produced on a calendar day, which
is probably the biggest days churning
ever made by any creamery in this
state. Average Elgin price from Jan
uary LIST to May LIST 1911, was % cents.
Add to this an over-run of about 81
cents brings the price up to 286 cents
for butter fat for the fudr months.
This is a good showing when there are
so many complaints of low prices on
butter
1t is proven fact that when butter
is fresh and good fully % per cent more
is consumed; so it is to the patrons
financial interest to produce the best
grade of mild and cream he possibly
can, so more of it will be used and thus
guard against a surplus. 1t takes seven
pounds of butter this year to equal the
price of six pounds for last year. The
price being lower, if quality is good
there will be fully 1T, or Is per cent
more consumed. Everyone can afford
butter at present prices, and if the
dairyman can get his cows to produce
Is per cent more milk, cream and but
terfat at the same expense as he did
last year, he should be as well satisfied
and will be as we'll off financially and
the consumer will use Is per cent more
on account of the low price. Both
parties are satisfied and just as well off
financially. Elgin butter market this
uppl is % cents -
