Real Christmas Enthusiasts Take
Great Delight In Outside Of The
Yule Tide Gifts.

Half the fun of Christmas is in get

selecting and preparing of the pres

to the giver, but the tying up of the
packages may supply great entertain
ment.
A gift should be an evidence of
thought and affection. It's outer wrap

tiles. To fulfil its highest function
the gift must be complete in every
detail, must prove the regard that
inspired it up to to the moment the
package reaches the hand of the re-

An Evidence OF Affection.
A small gift, chosen with care to
suit an individual taste and wrapped
daintily, may be greater evidence
of affection than an expensive article

wrapping in which it came from the
shop.
The manufacturers have realized
the Importance of the appeal to the
eye with the result that all tastes
and all purposes may be satisfied in
materials that make the tying up of
Christmas parcels not alone a joy but
a matter of simplicity. Boxes of all
sizes may now be purchased for few
cents, covered with gayly decorated
paper which shouts "a Merry Christ
mas" at first sight.
Crepe paper with a large spreading
pattern or a fine close design makes
an ideal covering for big or little
gifts. Bright paper napkins are not
to be despised, for they come in ap-

size for small parcels. Plain tissue

We are often asked, says IA promi-

COFFEE PRICES ON
THE UPWARD TREND

The general public does not appre-
ciate the statistics of the coffee mar
ket. The grower of green coffee in
Brazil five years ago was in that
shape that bankruptcy stared him in
the face The Brazilian government
then borrowed SCVenty-nVe million
dollars, bought up eight million bags
Of coffee and stored these away, sell
ing a small quantity each year. This
was done with view of increasing
the price of coffee by taking out of
the market the great surplus which
was depressing It, The third year af-
ter. short crop came and big ad-
vance was thereby made possible in
the price. Since then further short
crops have further increased the
price. The present growing crop ac-
cording to all reports is likely to I've
the shortest and smallest i'm fifteen
years and everything points to very
much higher prices for coffee.
The coffee roastcrs of the Pacific
coast claim they have been selling
Coffees without u profit but must now
advance their prices. and the con-
sumner will also have to pay more;
in fact, il is not likely that any cof-
fee can hereafter he sold under soc
and the probabilities are that the
lowest price ut which coffee should be
sold is Soc or three pounds for one
dollar Unless something now un-
forsecn and unlikely interposcs the
consumer may confidently count on

paying today.

In the first place, everyone should

MILK PER ACRE'
Increasing the Number of Cows That
"A Farm Can Carry


The amount of milk and butterfat
produced to the acre is, generally
speaking the final test of profitable
dairyinE where all feed is raised on
the form. This depends not only on
efficient cows, hut also on raising
crops that contain maximum
amount of dgestible nutriment. and
especially protein. which is so essen
tial for dairy cows
There are four different systems Of
cropping for dairy farms. BY the
first two 100 acres of land will sup
port the equivalent of IS and 81
COWS. respectively BY the other the
same farm will support the equivalent
of 60 and 100 cows respectively. Tho
first will make 9at pounds. the second
1873 pounds. the third 2025 pounds
and the fourth $3.50 pounds of milk 10
the acre.
The poorest system of cropping re-
turns S15.16 to the acre in milk.
while the best system returns $500
TO the acre. The first system will give
an annual return of S2625 from the
farm and the last $S246, or moro than
three times the first.
But this is not all. The net result
as to nitrogen in the soil is to lose
1900 pounds annually in the first sNs-
tenn. to gain ITO pounds in the second,
22S0 pounds in the third, and $3.50
pounds IN the last. lnCSe ulHcTeIlCtS
are due to the kinds of crops raised
and their adaptabilitY to the feeding
of dairy cows. the COWS are figured at
the same natural efficiency and soil
equally productive in each of the four
systems. 1t is certainly worth while to
consider crop plans that make such u
difference in the returns and the
maintenance of the soil.
The Investigations of the depart-
ment of dairy husbandrN the last years
show plainly that the farmer Is not
getting the profits he should get for
the Investment of time and moneN IN
milk production. There are several
reasons. One is the inefficient cows.
and the department has done much
Investigating to show the difference In
efficiency in individual cows. Another
great waste is in raising crops that do
not yield anything like the maximum
amount of digestible nutrients to the
acre that II Is possible to obtain. This
is especially true in regard to protein
contained in the chops commonly
raised on the dairy farm and so eS-
sontia in the ration for dairy cows.
For cXample--an acre of timothy nay
does not contains more than one-tenth
as much digestible protein as an acre
of alfalfa hay.
