COST OF BUILDING CREAMERY
One Must First Figure on Expense and
Then on Equipment--Pays
to Build Well.
By G. A. GILBERT. Colorado Agrcul-
tural College.)

By G. A GILBERT. Colorado Agricul-
tural College.)
Creamery builders must figure the
cost, first, of the building. second, Of
the equipment. A suitable and con-
yenient building will contain a main
work room, store room, refrigerator
engine and boiler room, coal room and
an office. Such a medium sized cream
cry would measure 2Sx48 feet. In
some sections labor and material are
asuch cheaper than in others and the
e,styaries accordingly. However. we
can place the limit of cost Of such
construction between one thousand
and fifteen hundred dollars.
Where only gathered cream Is re-
ceived the equipment required is less
than where whole milk is received. III
the first instance, Of the gathered
cream plant, the following would be
necessary: Is H. P. boiler; 10 H. P.
engine; a well and pump; weigh can
and scales; Babcock testing equip
ment complete; combiner churn, capa-
city 600 lbs. butter; buttermilk vat;
cream ripener; starter can; wash sink.
Besides this there will be shafting,
pulleys, piping, betting, etc. BY max
ing two churnings day in the rush
season. 1000 pounds of butter could be
manufactured per day In a plant of
this size. The cost Of equipment would
approximately be $1,000.
The total cost Of creamery With
oct artificial refrigeration will vary
from $4,000 to $4,000. In the long run
1t pays to build we'll and to use first
class equipment in creamery, and
this is the basis Of the foregoing hg-
ures. In many cases on record cream
cries started by promoters of repre-
sentatives Of construction companies
have cost exhorbitant prices and out
of all proportion to the business they
are able to do.

Gain on Meat Ratlons.

The New Yoak experiment station
found that cockerels fed meat gained
56A per cent. more weight, and such
pullets laid eight weeks earlier than
those without meat, but otherwise on
q similar diet.
Meat-fed ducks were out of sight OF
those deprived Of it. Again the ex-
pertinent was tried with a more care
full attention to a supply of mineral
matter for those without meat, and it
was found vegetable protein could
largely take the place of meat in case
Of chickens, but not with ducks.

EXCELLENT TIME FOR LAYING
Not Advisable to Have Puliets Pro-
dueIns Eggs Before October
Cold Weather Hindera.

Many poultry raisers believe that
the sooner pullets start laying the
greater the financial returns will be,
but this is not always the case. 1t is
not advisable to have pullets laying
before October at the earliest, except
tn the few cases where winter eggs
are not wanted. If the birds start lay.
ing earlier than October the cold
weather comes around, and probably
will not start again until the winter
is nearly over. If they start laying
by July or August, as very, early
Matched puHets sometimes do, they
usually moult in the fall and do not
lay again until February. But it is
equally bad if they do not start laying
by the middle of November, as they
probably will not start in until the end
of January at the earliest and perhaps
not until the end of February or the
beginning Of March.
The time the pullets are hatched
has more to do with the time they
start laying than anything else,
but the system Of feeding has consid'
erable to do with it also. If pullets
are maturing too quickly they should
receive free range and be fed only
once day, about 8 or 4 o'clock IN the
afternoon being the best time. The
food should be only dry grain, and
oats are about as good as anything
for the purpose. AS soon as the early
pullets freely receive nutritious looos
they start laying.

When Soils Cease to Produce.

The trouble with soils when they
cease to produce as they did when
new is not that the elements of plant
food are actually exhausted from the
soil, but the necessary forces for the
liberation are exhausted. One OF
these forces is bacteria. 1t is esti-
mated that in the common soil there
are 150,000.O0O bacteria to the ounce.
These bacteria must have for their
food, humus. then they will liberate
food for the growth Of plants. To be
good farmer one needs to grow le-
gumes and other cover crop plants
to turn under for humus, and to en-
courage these beneficial bacteria to
perform their functions in the soil.

A good dairy farmer has been de-

The Senate committee also included
in the bill modified form Of the
Gore amendment, which is directed
against persons making Individual
contracts with the Indians for the re-
covery of lands or money. The Gore
amendment would have prevented the
Indians making any kind OF contracts
and prescribed penalty for violation
Of the provision. The Senate committee
left out the penalty and would prohibit
the making OF only such individual
contracts as would affect tribal funds.
The Senate amendment reads:
mo contract made with any Indian,
where such contract relates to the
tribal funds OF property in the hands
of the United States, shall be valid,
nor shall any payment for services
rendered in relation thereto be made
unless the consent of the United States

MOVE TO UTILIZE IDLE LANDS
Plan Is to Organize Information Bur-
eau With Headquarters at
Musk0gee

A movement to fill Eastern Okla
homa's idle lands wisN competent ag-
riculturists and farmers was begun at
Muskogee Saturday at a conference OF
the officers of the Eastern Oklahoma
Agricultural Association and the rev.
resentatives of all the railroads in this
part OF the state.
The plan generally outlined, which
will in all probability be adopted, is
to advertise Oklahoma lands for sale
through we'll selected mediums, re-
ferring all applicants to central head
quarters in Muskogee. Here all farms
offered for sale will be listed, with the
location, grade of land, estimated val
ue, adaptaBility of the soil to certain
products, the probable drawbacks and
advantages of each track. The Agri-
cultural Association will establish a
sort OF protectorship over the buyer
until he has made a purchase or de-
clined TO do so. The association will
also look into titles and prevent the
sale OF land with a questionable title.
In other words, look after the interest
of the farmer buyer until he is located
comfortably.
The railroads will cooperate n
bringing the buyer to Eastern oklah'
ma. Among those who took part In
the conference were J. F. Darby, pres
ident of the Eastern Oklahoma Agri-
cultural Association; c. s. Avery OF
Tulsa, secretay; United States Agri-
cultural Agent w. d. Bentley and two
assistants; A. w. Lefeber, general
manager of the Midland Valley; H. L.
Traber Of the Missouri, Oklahoma y
Gulf Railroad; ]. n. Anderson OF the
Missouri Pacific; J. J. Gibson OF the
Fort Smith and Western, and r. W.
Hockaday, of the Katy. Nearly all the
railroads had two or more represen-
