1t lies with the producer Of
cream TO determine how much he
wants to receive for a can of
cream. He can produce ten pounds
of butterfat in a five gallon can
of cream or he can produce twenty
pounds. AT pc q pound the ten
pounds is worth 1910 while the
richer can of cream containing 20
pounds of fat is worth S540. By
simply adjusting the cream screw
so as TO produce a heavy cream
he can increase the amount that
he is going to receive for a car
of cream.
Ii pays in many ways to produce

HARBOR SPRINGS

Harbor Springs, Mich. Aug,-The

held recently at which nearly all
Of the 800 subscribers Of the
company agreed to discontinue
their phones, if the Bell people

The Bell company has raised the
rates for residence phones from
1900 to 1900 a year and served
notice on some of its subscribers
that they would be given q
hours to sign contract or have
their phones taken out.
The other morning at 8 o'clock

cream and the amount that he is
going to get for can of cream.
If he does not understand that
he is pretty apt to be dlssatls-
fled at times with the amount oil
money he gets. Some farmers
apparently think that one can OF
cream is worth as much for but
termaking as another can. They
forget that it is only the butter
/ fat in the cream that can be used
in making butter. Cream varies IN
test from about 10 per cent TO ~
per cent and the 90 per cent cream
is worth four times as much &c
the creameryman as the 10 pei
cent cream. The farmer therefore
gets four times as much for
can of the rich cream than he does
for the can of the thin cream.

This is a busy time OF the year
on the farm. In fact, it is so busy
on a good many farms that the
cows and their owners do not see
each other in daylight enough
get acquainted.
In many sections of the country
rains have been abundant and
the amount of green feed avail
able for the cattle is pleasing. 1t
means that the period of dry
pastures is going to be shorter
than in most years. 1t is going
to be so very short that it would
seem as if every farmer who Is
making dairying a strong
branch of his diversified farm
ing operations should be able tc
spare the time 10 give the cows
some green feed as soon as the
pastures get short.

results after she has failed in her
milk flow. This is especially true
with the COW that drops her calf
in the spring. She only has few
weeks while the pasture IS good
to produce a heavy flow OF milk
for her owner before the dry
season comes. Then she doesn't
get feed enough and her owner is
90 busy with what he thinks is
more important work that she IS
neglected. Then when the fall
work is done and he feels that he
can spend a little more time with
the COWS, they cannot produce
the results ne expects although
they may be fed well during the
winter. Their milk flow dropped
when it should have been kept
up and they can't reach high pro-
duction mark again. This explains
why many good cows fail to SAT-
isfv their owners during the
winter months.

CHINESE DRUGS
FORMIDABLE
Includes Substances Drawn From Almost
Every Variety OF Vegetable, Animal
and Mineral Matter.

The materia medica OF the ma
tive physician is Wohderiui
and fearful thing, embracing as
il does, almost every variety OF
vegetable, animal and mineral sub
stance. 1t is said that these drugs
are a thousand in number, drug,
as someone has said, for each \
disease to which, from the Chinese
standpoint, man is liable.
Broadly classified, the native
Chinese medicines may be grouped
about as follows:
From metals and stones 1873
kinds of physic are extracted
from grasses and vegetables such
as roots. stubs, leaves, flowers
and seeds, $50 kinds; from trees,
1870 kinds are found in the roots,
bark, trunk, leaves, seeds ana
flowers; from the human body,
81 kinds; from vegetables, such as
cabbages. turnips, "a kinds; about
the same number from birds from
insects, worms, shellfish, reptiles
turtles and flies, 100 kinds; from
fruits. 40 kinds. To these must
, be added medicines derived from
, wheat and other grain. The
Chinese materia medica is also
} much indebted to the animal
world.
From an Occidental standpoint
the most remarkable and curious
. features of Chinese medical pro-
= cedure is that the physician IS
, employed by the year, ana that
= his salary ceases the moment any
of the family whereto he ministers
. becomes ill. In other words, the
