enable enough grain to be grown to
affeat the cereal markets of the
world. In ancient times the whole
of the Euphrates delta was irrigated
and the rank growth of grain ex-
cited the wonder of the Greek trav-

Our American food manufacturers
have made several unsuccessful at
tempts to preserve sweet butter in
tins, yet the ball butter of an
cient times, preserved in cheeses,
is still made today and may be pur-
chased at the delicatessen shops
that cater to those people who
come to America frCm southern Eu-
ropean countries. The technical
ma me of this product is ball butter
and it is so called because it is
pure, unsalted butter, compacted
hard into cheese coverings, not
unlike the Edam cheese in shape. So
prepared both the butter and the
cheese will keep for months IL high
temperatures are avoided, for one
helps to preserve the other. The
cheese prevents the butter from
spelling and the butter keeps the
cheese from becoming too hard and
those who like 1t cant eat it. The
idea of putting butter into cheese
shells is very ancient one, for 1t
is mentioned in the travels of Marco
Polo. Even then its advantages
were recognized and approved. as 1t
could scarcely fail to be. in view Ct
the fact that 1t represented no use
less weight of baggage. Thus when
the top of the caSein cover Is re-
moved and the butter has been re-
moved, the traveller finds the ga
shell a good make shift cup for
drinks. like milk or tea.

CONSERVE THn FARMER.

Among all the ideas that have
been advanced about conservation,
none seem to include the most i'm
portant of them all. The man him
self is vastly more important and
more worthy of conservation than
an, material thing we have on the
i-.rm, or even the farm itself. With
out him all else would be of no ac-
count. There are yet farmers who
have an exalted idea OF the value
of muscle in farming operations and
who pride themselves upon their
Such men despise modern machinery
and think its use indicates laziness.
| They get up at o clock every
morning, winter and summer, no
matter whether there is any.hing
to do or not. They deprieve them
selves of opportunities for reading
and setf-culture because they cant
keep awake after supper, and they
wear out years sooner than they
should. Such men were necessary
for pioneer days. when both methods
and machinery were imperfect and
when there We're more farmers than
men of other classes and their pro-
ducts in small demand and low
priced. With the crude methods and
machinery of early days long hours
and great physical strength and EN-
durance were ecessary. A premium
was placed upon this method of liv-
| ing and working and he who dared
20 lie in bed til rested did so under
penalty of being called lazy. Mod
ern knowledge. conditions and mach
inery have removed the necessity OF
such ways of living. and have taught
The farmer that he is a business man

so that he gets up when he Is rest
ed and when the day has begun. He
could do nothing during the azoic
hours of the very early morning
which are very profitably spent IN

time to. meet other business men

ferent work and his business Is with
nature more than with men ; but he
can still have system and method
and prosper for it.
Except IN the emergencies OF crop
ping he can and should observe
such hours of labor as are demand
ed by his business and by his physL
.I cal well being. He should study and
|, adopt systematic methods and he
should take care of himself. Only
the healthfulness OF his occupation
has saved many a farmer form pre-
mature breakdown. and. even II he
be saved frcm this, there can re-
main but little doubt that he will
wear out sooner than necessary.
What can 1t profit a man TO
earn a whole section and 80 wear
himself out that he cannot enjoy Its
fruits? And this applies with in
tense force to the farmers wife.
The first step in ture economy and
conservation should be to conserve
the wife, then the man, and after
the fertility OF the soil. Own the
farm. boas It and run it. Don't Let

NOTES FROM FIELD AND FARM

Potatoes that are to be kept over
winter will keep better If digging
is delayed until quite cool weather
comes on. After a tuber is fully
ripened so that no change takes
place in its size, a rain will stick
the soil to 1t more or less, even
If tha soil again dries out. Tubers
left in the ground several weeks
after all growth has stopped are
seldom as bright and clean as they
would be if dug earlier. Potatoes
that ripen up in late August are diff
planting the following spring. The
sprouting Is almost sure to take
place so early in the winter that
much of the vigor of the tubers is
lost. This could be largely overv-
come by having a place in the dug
out especially for keeping such pota'
toes, where the temperature could u
held as low as possible without
freezing.
