In figuring on the relative value of
young and old cows there are great
many things to be taken into account,
says a writer In the Farm Progress.
The general impression is that a
young COW of the same grade is more
desirable than en- old one. and with
the most breeds this is generally the
case. But 1t is better to purchase an
old COW of good grade when moder-
ate amount of money is to be invest
ed than to purchase young COW that
never would be profitable.
The young COW of poor breed would
yield very little profit for many years,
during which time she must be fed,
while the older COW which is pur-
chased for the same consideration will
yield a good profit during the few re-
manning years.
1t stands nowadays that pure-bred
milk COW six years old might be worth
SEQ in the market. whereas COW of
her same grade nine years old will
bring only $40. II buyer makes a
purchase Of a mich COW for $50 the
interest at six per cent for three
years would be $1,000. II he buys an
old COW the interest for three years
at six per cent. would be $500.
II can be readily seen that at the
end of that time this young COW would
be an old one. While his old COW

lowed to roost away from the poultry
house they are likely to be destroyed
by animals.
If the young turkeys can be induced
to roose In large tree near the poul-
try house they will do very well there.
because the tree is the natural roost-
ing place for turkeys. We know a
woman in Virginia who raised about
200 turkeys every year and they all
roasted in two large trees in the yard
at the rear of the house. An inclined
board is placed against the tree so
that the poults can get into it when
they are quite young. Many OF them
continue to walk up the plank to the
first branches even after they are
fully grown while the others use their
wings to re9ch the branches
Young turkeys cannot thrive in
damp quarters. They should be well
ventilated and placed where they will
get plenty of sunshine
Young turkeys should never be hur-
ried or driven home or quickly forced
into the poultry house. They are de-
liberate in their movements and
should take half an hour or more to
find their roosting places and settle
down for the night.

PEANUT BUTTER is POPULAR
Bureau Of Plant Industry Issues Cir
euIar Dealing With Its Use
and How Manufactured.

Circular 80 of the Bureau of Plant
Industry. Department OF Agriculture,
says:
"The growing popularity OF peanut
butter as food has led to many In
quiries regarding the methods en-
ployed in its manufacture. Peanut
butter is In reality a very simple
preparation, consisting merely OF
fresh-roasted peanuts ground fine and
sailed to suit the taste. Several
large factories and large number OF
smaller ones are now devoted to the
manufacture of this product with
which to supply the rapidly increas-
ing demand. Some of the larger fac
tories are almost models in their
construction, equipment and manage
ment, while many of the smaller es-
Adjustments. which have no elaborate
equipment, are turning out an excel
lent product.
Peanut butter was first manufac-
tured and offered for sale as a food
for invalids, but the article was soon
adopted by many persons who for one
reason or another, such as prefer
ence for vegetable foods only. object
ed to the use of ordinary dairy butter
] 1t soon outgrew this condition OF linn
tied use, and it's development on a
commercial scale has been a general
product It was never intended that
this product should be used as sub
stitute for or a competitor OF butter,
but as a luncheon delicacy and to add
variety to the diet Peanut butter is
wholesome and nutritious food prod
uct and has become a popular article
upon our markets. Last year one
manufacturer used over 100 cars OF
shelled peanuts in the production on
100000 small Jars of this food.
Other manufacturers used large
quantities. the total consumption OF
peanuts for the manufacture of pea
nut butter alone amounting during
the year Of 1911 to approximately
1000 cars OF shelled goods. or 1.O0O.-
900 bushels.
TN order to produce high-class pea
nut butter the manufacturer must en-
ploy the best materials. On the 9TH
er hand, the use of the best stock OBJ
tainable will be of little avail unless
the work of converting into salable
product is conducted in a sanitary
manner"

ORIGIN OF THE CRESCENT
Was Once Emblem Of Byzantine EN-
pire and Eastern church--Now
Regarded as Mohammedan.

Lonhon.-Though now regarded as
essentially Mohammedan. the cres-
cent was Christian in its origin. A
crescent moon was the emblem Of the
byzantine empire and the eastern
church. and the Turks adopted 1t as a
badge of triumph after the capture of
Constantinople in 1883
With reference to the crescent the
story of the origin of the crescent
shaped Vienna roll is worth recalling.
1t arose in the sixteenth century when
the Turks were besieging Vienna, and
failing TO carry 1t by assault began
to drive mines under the walls. At
that period the city's bakehouses were
in the walls under the Notifications,
and when the mines we're almost
through the sound Of the work was
heard in the underground bake houses
and the alarm given. 1t was to cele-
brate this event that the bakers adopt
ed the Turkish emblem as the shape
in which the make their bread.

and he must buy a new one to replace
her. At the end of the second three
years the young COW would be twelve
years old, and would have to be sold
for about $50, while the second old
cow would bring about the same price.
Reckoning the interest on the mon
ey invested, the amount would be
$3.50 for the purchase OF the young
COW, and SIT for the interest on the
cost of the two old cows, difference
of $3.50 in favor of the two old cows.
But the large average product of the
young COW during the first three years
would no doubt in most cases more
than overbalance the difference.

Man Peers Into Barrel, Loses Balance

Cause Him to Howl.

Williamsburg. pam animated
barrel rolling along Kent avenue, near
South Tenth street. caused pedestrians
to pause in open-mouthed wonder.
From the headless end of the barrel
protruded a pair Of legs. From the
general interior issued mufied bowls
for help.
Within the barrel-but the fact did
not appear at the moment-was good
deal Of Thomas Roach. a machinist
living at No 80 Norton street. and
some nails. The nails were extremely
irritating to Roach and disastrous to
his clothes. hence the bowls.
Roach-and this also became evil
dent after the man bad been removed
from the barrel and the nails from his

large amount OF trouble through cur
iosity. Wishing to know what was
within he peeked In. lost his balance
and fell in.
Encountering the nails Roach rolled
into the middle of the street in vain
effort to detach himself. But the
further he rolled the more tenacious
did the nails lay hold Of his clothes
and flesh and the greater was his
agony. Roach waved his legs as an
added plea for help. but none came.
Pedestrians seemed to think the
man in the barrel might be paying Q
bet and as his antics we're highly
amusing. they set TO and helped roll
him until he had progressed block
They were still rolling when Police
