Warning Against, Too HisiJ
Organization $;

BY Dr.. c. A. 'Lusdsr
Instructor in Dairying, West Viz
ginia University

The state of West Virginia has the
finest bluegrass grazing lands in the
United States. The markets Of. the
state are second to none in the coun-
try for dairy products. With such
conditions it would seq: that dairyine
ought to prosper in nisny parts Of the
state; that there ought to be prosper
Gus milk diaries near every city and
that in the more remote sections Of
the state butter-ma. ng creameries
ought to be very profitable for all
concerned.
Creamery Promoters.
Only two creameries are now in sue
cessful and profitable operation
Others might have succeeded had they
not been stocked too literally with
water. Most of the creameries here
tefore established in the state have
been organized by promoters who had
no interest in the establishments
other than getting their pay for build
ings and equipment. Their method
has been to paint very rosy picture
OF the profits to be obtained through
the organizing Of mutual creamery
company; to induce as many farmers
as possible to take fifty or hundred
dollars worth of stock In the com
pany, giving their note for the face
value of the stock, the notes to be due
when the creamery was ready to begin
operations; and then, after sufficient
number had subscribed. to put UP
building and equip it for business
With the creamery ready to be turned
over to the officers of the company
the promoters would dispose of theii
notes at local bank and leave the
creameries in the hands of its mex
perienced owners. In every such case
in West Virginia the promoters have
sold a creamery and its Equipment
for nearly twice its real value. The
wonder is that single creamery es.
tablished under such conditions should
succeed to such degree as to be
able to pay dividends on its inflated
cost.
1t is not difficult for farmers to pre-
tect themselves against the creamery
sharks. Where the situation is such
that it seems probable that cream.
cry might succeed it is just as easy
to get disinterested expert advice as
to get the interested advice of the
promoter, who is always sure that a
creamery will succeed if enough men
can be induced to buy stock. For
example: Not long ago an effort was
made to organize creamery company
at a certain thriving city in the east,
ern part of the state. A little inquiry
would satisfy any intelligent person
that it is not suitable place for q
creamery; there are not enough COWS
and milk brings higher price in the
town than any creamery could pay

THE SCHOOL OF
AGRICULTURE AND
DOMESTIC SCIENCE

Une March NUMBER Oh th0 DuueIln Ol
West Virginia university is an at
trActiye announcement of the new
school Of agriculture and domestic
science to be opened next fall.
s@The school of agriculture has been
organized fer the purpose Of providing
q practical training for the young men
and women Of West Virginia who de-
sire instruction which will better at
them for life on the farm and in the
home than will that offered by the
high schools.
1.-THE practical instruction in the art
of agriculture given the young men
will fit them to make farming more
profitable and the farm better place
to live. The work in domestic science
will give the young women practical
knowledge of modern science as re-
lated to the problems of housekeeping
and win give them training which
will render them better equipped and
more efficient homemakers.
"Both young men and women are
given such work in English, history
modern languages and the sciences as
will give them culture as will make
life richer and fuller and will fit them
for useful citizenship in their com.
munities
"The school Of agriculture is not
established as preparatory school to
the university or to compete with the
high schools. It is established to give
our young people who are unable to
secure both a high school and college
education the best possible prepare
ton for a successful country life.
Many a young man as he finishes the
country school fails to enter the high
school or academy because he does
not expect to be able to attend col
lege and he questions whether the
high school work will be of sufficient
value to him to4warrant the time, OF,
fort and expense involved; in short,
1t fails to arouse his interest.
"The school of agriculture Is es'
tablished as an effort to give our
young men and women such train
ing and to give them such an interest
in and sympathy with country life
that it will educate them back to the
farms and make them influential ID
developing the best of life in their
communities.
The school year lasts but six months
from Sept. 10 to March %, so that
young men from the farm may be out
in time fer spring work. Anyone who
Is a graduate of the eighth grade and
sixteen years old may enter and the
total expenses for the year are from
$95 to $153.
This school should meet need 1o1
agricultural education for boys and
girls who cannot afford a college edu'
cation, a need which has long ex.
listed. In other states these secondary
schools of agriculture and domestic
science have been phenomenaliy sue
cessful and we predict that the same
appreciation of such practical educa.
ton will be shown in West Virginia.
The announcements may be secured
by addressing postal to the dean OF
the college of agriculture, Morgan

Dubuque, Oct. 2s.-If plans which
are not only under way but are well
developed materialize. the region
about Colesburg and Luxembourg win
echo the whistle of a locomotive
within a short time.
The railway project which has been
in process for the past several weeks
is taking definite form. and II enthus-
iasm among the people Of the COM
munities directly interested and those
of the immediate surrounding terri
tory may be accepted az forecast
OF results the success Of the PROPOSE
ton already is assured.
The acquisition of q railway Is no
new idea with the communities Of
northwestern Dubuque and northeast
ern Delaware counties. No less than
three distinct projects have been be
fore them. Each In turn has fallen
through, due to variety of reasons,
but principally because on the crucial
test the promotion end Of the enter
prise failed to make good.
There Is new deal back Of the
present affair. There is no promotion
stock. no scheme to swing the money

munity to be benefited by the line

return the manifold advantages &C

This is the tale Of an ordinary cow.
II is the popular thing to tell about
the extraordinary COW. with its enor-
nous milk production. but 1t may be
the profitable thing to tell about the
ordinary COW. which gives barely
enough milk to pay for its keep. More
over. the Iowa farmer seems to like
the ordinary COW. because he keeps SO
many of her.
This COW was found on farm in
northeastern Iowa near Waterloo by
O dairy expert Of the extension depart
ment Of the Iowa agricultural college.
II was one Of herd OF ten cows en-
tered in the Pioneer Cow Testing as
sociation. organized by the extension
department She looked to be ordi-
nary. and she gave milk that was ordi-
nary in quantity and quality. She was
like q million or more other cows in
Iowa. In short. there was nothing ex-
traordinary about her except her APP
petite-she came rather near to eat
ing her head OF every year. But that
Is not every extraordinary. either. tor
the average COW In Iowa also comes
dangerously near to doing that.
This ordinary COW produced only
153 pounds of butter fat In the twelve
months she was tested by the extern
sion department expert. That is about
what the average COW in Iowa does.
This butter fat sold for s5l.22: the
food she ate cost s32.56 That left
$1S.ss to pay for the trouble she made
and the barn room she occupied. and
interest on the investment.
II didn't pay the farmer to keep her.
II was worth more than s1.50 month
to look after her. so the man who
owned her lost money on the time he
gave her, unless he counted In the ma
nure on her credit. side OF the ledger.
Right alongside this ordinary COW
stood another cow that gave empha.
sis to her ordinariness. In the year

HOW TO KEEP CREAM SWEET
Government Expert Helps Creamery
men In kossuth county-oo0d
Results Shown.

In years work In Kossuth county
Z. B. Heaton, dairy field expert for the
United States government. has dem
onstrated to the farmers Of that dis
trict that cream may be kept sweet
for delivery to the local creameries
even though the farm has no ice house
and Ice for cooling the milk. Cream
may be kept sweet. first by proper
care OF cans and other utensils used
in handling It. and second by setting
the milk cans In a small tank OF fresh
running well water
The care Of the utensils Is simple
matter So is the making of tank,
II need not be large or expensive. II
may be set between the well and the
cattle tank. SO that the water pumped
for the cattle will first run through the
milk tank Kossuth county farmers
who have adopted this method OF
keeping their cream cool have found
II very satisfactory and successful.
Moreover. they have delivered their
cream to the creameries In uniformly
good condition and have secured Just
that much better price for It. The
good results have gone farther. The
creameries report an Improvement In
the quality of their butter product. be-
cause good cream makes good butter
possible
Some progress has been made also
In Kossuth county towards improve
ment OF dairy herds. but that comes
much more slowly The immediate
problem is the best possible care OF
the cows that the farmers have and
the milk that the cows produce. be II

OF the test this other COW ate feed

the Iowa farmer would have an income
OF S15.000.0 900 year more than now.
The Iowa farmer. with his high-priced
land. cannot afford to keep a COW that
loses him millions. Good business and
goc farming dictate that he improve
his dairy herds and save the millions
he now loses. The only out Of the
ordinary thing about this story Is that
this Iowa farmer tolerates the ordt
nary COW. He has good business
sense about other things. but not
about the dairy industry.

agricultural college at Ames shows
the farmer how he may find the non.
profitable cows in his herd and in.

YIELD FOUR TONS PER ACRE
Dry Weather Seems To Have Been
Very Satisfactory To Alfalfa
Field In Story County.

Story City. Oct. 2S.-M. o. Warwick
has finished harvesting his fourth
crop OF alfalfa this year. The dry
weather of the past summer seems
TO have been strictly to the liking of
Marvick's alfalfa field. When every
thing in the ordinary grass line look
ed scared and yellow, the alfalfa
doomed up greener and juicier than
ever. The four-acre field looked like
veritable oasis In barren desert
The four cuttings have averaged
about a ton to the acre each. making
something like sixteen tons OF fine
hay from the little field.
