DAIRY BUTTER is PROFITABLE
Lack Of Attention to This Product
Has Resulted In Increased Manu-
facture of OIeomaraarine.

Farmers have been giving dairy but
ter less and less attention in recent
years and as one result Of this oleo-
margarine. as a cheap substitute, has
come into use.
It has been observed during the
months Of phenomenally high prices
that the butter substitutes are -four
lshing to an amazing extent. They
are taking place in the worlds COM
merce which ought to be held by
good, wholesome farm butter. With
plenty of choice dairy butter, oleomar-
garine would be driven from the Ia
Lies Of American families generally.
When creamery product Is selling at
1 to so cents, the oleO comes quick
~ into common use, becau there Is
~ enough dairy butter to meet the
demands. The substitutes get their
start and hold large and valuable
trade simply because the farmers are
neglecting the opportunity to furnish
sufficient supply Of fair to choice
dairy butter. Not all farmers are 10
Gated near enough to creameries so
that they can deliver their milk once
a day without unreasonable travel.
Those who are not should keep but
ter diaries, large or small. according
to circumstances, and market their
product once a week.
This is in the line Of diversification
and 1t is a paying proposition. II
should not be all dairy, not all poul
try, nor all hogs, nor all corn. but q
wise mixture so that the farmer al
ways has something for the -gh mar
kets. A little pushing along the dairy
line just now is justified both by pres
ent prices and future prospects.
When farmers can get 25 cents OF
more for fair quality of butter. al
at present, there is money in 1t fol
them and they can afford to give
that branch of husbandry great dea
more attertic- than they do.

An Excellent Breeding Eve.

This brings us to the all-important
subject Of what sort Of ration the
ewes should have just before and after
Landing time; In fact, until spring
grass comes.
Just here let US take the case Of
sheep owner whose loss of both lambs
and ewes was very heavy during last
winter and spring. The loss of ewes
was rs per cent; that of lambs 81 per
cent. Before lambing the flock was
fed cut fodder and timothy hay; after
lambing their ration was bran and
cut fodder, no succulent food, or food
that contained enough protein to pro-
duce the amount of milk necessary for
the lamb after it was born.
The man said: 'If had had 800
bushels of turnips / should have saved
my sheep and lambs Also"
It is great mistake to feed sheep
merely timothy hay or corn fodder
before and after Landing time. Many
of the heaviest losses can be prevented
if care is given to the ration, as it
is an exceptional case where a eve
has not sufficient milk to at least keep
her lamb alive If she has been prop
erly fed a month before Landing.
The feed need not be expensive,
nor necessarily succulent. although
that is a great advantage; but it
should be rich in protein, palatable,
digestible and given in liberal amounts
and at regular intervals, twice a day.
Clover, COW peas or soy bean hay,
| corn silage, turnips. sugar beets, and
some well cured (not moldy) corn
fodder may constitute the greater por-
ton of the bulky ration, together with
grain ration of corn, oats. bran,
and a small percentage OF linseed Oil
meal or cotton seed meal.
It is best to mix these grains to-
gether, but If any are to be fed alone
let It be oats.
Corn alone will prove unsatisfac-
tory, as it has a tendency to weaken
the lambs and lessen the flow OF
milk.
Be sure to have sufficient feeding
room, as the danger from crowding
and pushing when ewes are heavy
with lamb is very great and likely 70
cause some cases of abortion.
In conclusion 1t may be said that
every dead lamb or eve means loss
of about Eve dollars to the owner, ana
it behooves him to give the best at
tention to his flock during the lamD-
Ing season.
