capitalists who has heavily IN
vested in St. Landry lands in the
Palmetto neighborhood, and pur-
suaded him to give US a public
letter expressing his views on the
good roads and drainage subject,
upon which he has had consider
able practical experience. Mr..
Fitzmaurice over a year ago
bought 1000 acres of land close
to the town of Palmetto, and DIR.
J. H. Moroney, DR.. V. M. Smith
and other Indianians, all coming
from the town of Winchester,
have acquired large holdings in
the same section of this parish.
They are now preparing their
lands for cultivation, and next
winter at least two of them will
bring down their families, and
possibly a number of friends. to
try our mild winter climate and
with a view to making perma-
nent settlements here.
Mr.. Fitzmaurice is not only a
large and successful planter in
his own state. but is also an ex-
perienced and practical mechanic
and contractor. The drainage
question in his home county is
even more difficult than in the
Palmetto section, and he has had
much experience both in drain.
age work and in dirt and brick
or stone road building. He is a
man of mature age and judg-
ment, and his progressive char
acter and experience are we'll
testified to by the fact that in
the Winchester Machine Works,
of which he is the proprietor, he
built the first loom used for MAX
ing woven wire fencing, and has
been looked to by other manu-
facturers to produce special tools
and machinery for manufacture
ing purposes such as hemp weav-
ing appliances, etc. He is even
now planning a method to make
bagging out Of our now waste
palmetto leaf fibre, and to utilize
the stumpage from our cut-over
hardwood lands for tool manufac-
turing purposes.

WILL BE A GRAND FLEET.

Washington, April 21.-When the
American fleet sails for the Mediter-
ranean in January it will be nearly
double in muzzle energy that Of the
famous battle fleet sent around the
Horn by President Roosevelt in 1907
and half again as great in tonnage.
The fleet will probably continue
around the world and will reach the
Panama-Pacific exposition by Sue7
instead of by the Panama canal. The
main ships of the line to go on the
cruise are the Wyoming, Florida, Ar
kansas, Delaware, North Dakota,
Utah, Vermont, Louisiana, Michigan,
New Hampshire, South Carolina,
Virginia, Georgia, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Minnesota,
Connecticut, Kansas and Idaho. The
fleet will be too large to be accom-
at any one time in the many
harbors to be visited and at Gibral-
tar will be divided into four divis-
ions. The purpose is to stimulate
enlistment to educate the officers and
men.

under the same conditions was found
tt have deteriorated in quality to a
much greater extent. Similar results
have been obtained in experimental
work conducted by this experimental
station. However, in case of raw
cream butter, in many instances the
results have been best where the
cream was allowed to sour before
churning.
Another factor which bears an i'm
portant relationship to the keeping
quality of the butter is the temper
ature at which the butter is kept. Any
kind of butter will deteriorate to a
considerable extent if held at high
temperature. Many times the butter
maker is blamed for making poor but
ter when the fault is mainly with the
consumer for keeping it in place
where it will become soft and develop
a strong flavor Then also butter is
frequently kept in place where 1t
will take up bad flavors from its sur
roundings. This is especially true
when the butter is kept is an ice
box with strong smelling vegetables.
The Incorporation of considerable
quantities of buttermilk in the but
ter tends to lessen its keeping quail
ity. Over churning is usually respon-
sible for a high percent of butter
milk in butter. The churn should be
stopped when the butter is in the
form of granules little larger than
wheat kernel.
If the buttermilk is drawn off at
that stage and this volume in the
churn is replaced with water Of the
same Temperature as that of the but
termilk, the butter can be successful
ly washed by few revolutions of the
churn, Butter that is we'll washed in
this way does not become strong so
quickly as does butter from which
the butter milk has not been suffi-
GENTLY removed.
While there are many other fac
tors which might influence the
keeping quality Of butter, the above
mentioned ones are among the most
important
tor bills, funeral expenses and loss

SOME FACTORS AFFECTING THE
KEEPING QUALITY OF BUTTER.

The keeping quality of butter is OF
considerable Importance as a factor
in determining the demand for that
product on the market
Some butter makers would main
tain that because their butter is plac-
ed in the market in fresh condition
there is no need of taking steps to
improve the keeping quality. Most
butter, even though it Is sold to the
consumer fresh, is in a majority OF
cases kept by the consumer in place
where the temperature is quite high.
If the butter can Withstand this con-
dition without taking on a disagree
able flavor the consumer will de-
mand the same brand Of butter the
next time. On the other hand, II
the butter assumes strong flavor
in few days the housewife is dis
satisfied, and will likely try another
brand of butter thereafter.
The age and sourness of the cream
previous to churning has a decided
influence upon the keeping quality
Of butter. This is especially true
when the cream is pasteurized. An
excellent proof of that statement is
found in the result recently obtained
in the storage of pasteuried sweet
cream butter for the United States
Navy, as compared with that made
from sour cream. After six or more
months of storage, the pasteurized
sweet cream butter was found to be
practically as good as when placed in
storage while sour cream butter held

FEEDING GRAIN TO COWS ON
PASTURE.

The question is frequently asked
whether it is economical to feed
grain to cows during the pasture
season. On this question there is a
considerable difference of opinion.
Judging by the direct results in milk
production from feeding grain to
cows on succulent and abundant pas
ture, there seems to be no profit in
such a procedure. While there may
be some increase in milk yields, the
increased yields, do not in all in
stances pay for the grain consumed.
The pastures in the early spring
are immature and the grass contains
a high percentage of water and a
low percentage of dry matter, and
the high producing COW does not Sc
cure sufficient nutrients to furnish
the needs of the body and maintain a
large production Of milk. For a COW
of this type, that is, one that produc-
es one to two pounds of butter fat
daily, grain ration should supple
ment the pasture and she should be
allowed all the leguminous hays that
she will consume.
The COW that is producing an aver
age quality of milk, say from twenty
five to thirty pounds of milk of aver
age quality, will produce but little
more when fed grain to supplement
good pasture, and for economy Of
production should not be so fed.
Quite extensive feeding investiga-
cations, carried on by the Cornell
Experiment station, resulted in the
following conclusion: That an adj
ditional pound of milk was secured
for each pound Of grain fed: but 1t
was observed that the cows that re-
ceived grain during the pasture sea-
son gave 16 per cent better re-
turns after the grazing period than
did those that received no grain. In
other words, there was increase in
weight in the lot that were fed grain
which resulted in the LAYING up Of
considerable amo mt of surplus
nutrients on their body which was

WHY PLANT TREES IN IDAHO

Our history and our literature
alike abound in reference to trees.
We have but to recall the Charter
Oak, the Washington Elm, the
Spreading Chestnut Tree" and the
church of Berkeley Manor beneath
its shade of elm and oak" in order
to see how great a part the tree has
played in the minds of those who
would record our early struggles for
liberty, or enrich our literature.
Yet we cannot sing the praises OF
all the trees that have blessed us.
In fact, very few of us have prop
err appreciation of our real debt to
trees until we give the matter ser
ious thought. Alas! how many of
us, as we 60 back in thought to the
old home in the East, have mental
pictures of stately old trees, or beau
tiful groves there. These we sadly
miss in our new homes in the great
young state of Idaho. 1t is true that
our soil is fertile and that our eli
mate is such that we may we'll boast
of our crops in both quality and yield
but our homes, especially in the
southern part of the state, are sadly
in need of something to make them
more attractive-more homelike. AS
We think of the thousands of homes
in Idaho without single tree to
break the winter gale or to protect
from the burning summer sun--sim-
ply a house set down in the sage
brush--is it any wonder that those
who have grown up among the beau
tiful trees and groves of the eastern
states have a disconsolate feeling in
such surroundings? They are not
homelike and should by all means
be improved. 1t is with the hope
that the schools may take the lead in
the movements for more homelike
homes in Idaho, that portion OF
the fund available for tree growing
in the state has been placed at their
disposal and it is desired that every
teacher endeavor to secure at least
q few trees and observe Arbor Day
with appropriate exercises, endeav-
oring to install into the minds Of the
children the Importance of the plant
ing and care of trees as we'll as the
aesthetic and economical value OF
the same.
Many of the more progressive
towns in Idaho have organized "city
beautiful clubs and park commiss-
ions and are showing lively interest
in definite plans for beautifying their
cities. Money cannot be spent more
wisely and no booster club aiming to
attract settlers, can do better than to
encourage a systematic planting of
trees in our city parks, on our streets
and about the new homes established
in all the more arid parts of the state
Idaho has lost thousands Of pros
pective settlers simply because OF
the general feeling of desolation
which pervades the home seeker
after having spent few days look
ing at the treeless tracts which he is
asked to buy simply because the soil
is fertile and will produce large re-
turns, yet he cannot think of bring
ing his wife and children into such
unattractive surroundings. 1t is
perfectly easy to change these sur
roundings and make them SO inviting
that the prospective purchaser will
not hesitate to bring his family and
make home in this great land OF
plenty. G. H. SHATTUCK. Prof
essor of Forestry.
