CREAM PAYS A FARMER WELL
Experiments Have Demonstrated Tina,
Couple Of Cows VIII Maintain
House and Family.

Those of the dry farmers who have
been experimenting on selling cream
instead of butter, have demonstrated
the fact that couple of cows will
maintain a house and family. Feed
for the cows costs nothing during
the summer, as grass is plentiful and
sufficient to produce a good flow OF
milk containing the required amount
of butter fat. This experiment has
solved the problem of how to handle
butter during the summer months
AS cream brings fully as much OF
more than the butter from the same
amount of milk, leaving the separated
milk to be used sweet, as calf, hog OF
chicken feed, this business supplies
the farmer with ready money each
week as regular as he markets the
cream, and by raising his own stock
feed the cost of wintering the cows
will not be felt.-Democrat, Las AMI
mas, Colo.

Good Results With Alfalfa.

The farm department at the New
Hampshire State hospital is greatly
pleased with its experiment in alfalfa
Seed sown early In the spring is nov
yielding Its fourth cutting. The frs
three cuttings yielded a total OF AZ
tons of hay, and the fourth cutting will
probably be left on the ground to pro
tect the roots during the winter. II
could be fed off as pasturage, but will
probably do more good If left as a win
ter protection. This crop was sowp
on light land treated with two tons OF
air-siacked lime per acre and LOCO
pounds per acre of commercial fer.
tilizer. The soil was inoculated from
a piece of ground which has produced
alfalfa and the seeds were soaked In
nitroculture. The seed was covered
over lightly. The first three cuttings
yielded about ~ tons per acre each
the growth being about Is inches high
each time.

Ceylon Tea,

In existence only 80 years, yet the an
nual exports Of black tea amount te
nearly s2s.oss,o4o in value. Formerly
cenee constituted Ceylon's main In
dustry, but after disease OF the plant
In 1880 its cultivation was discontin
ued- Many planters. however, re
couped themselves by tea and rubber
Thanks chiefly to the former article
the Islands old prosperity revived. To.
day Ceylon boasts 1900 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly but very labor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the eli
mate makes 1t irksome. What is
wanted mainly of employees Is to
watch mancinery and feed it from the
stock OF tea leaves awaiting treat

about six (6) per cent. of the whole,
1t Is ridiculous to speak about using

Unplcked Grapes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from
1878, has been used to sentence the
owner Of vineyard at Capestang
near Beziers, France, TO a fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering, when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law, as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion. and the woman was
convicted.
