Udder troubles are frequently the
result of bad feeding.
The man who grows the foods which
supply the country, needs no apology
for his occupation.
Sunlight and pleasant surroundings
are great factors in stimulating large
milk yields.
The COW should be fed so that she will
produce full flow of milk, and main
tain practically the same flesh condi-
ton.
The high producing dairy COW is an
animal that follows in the wake of
civilization. She never goes ahead.
The COW should have a capacity TO
produce more milk than she is called
upon to produce in ordinary dairy
work.
The working ration does not mean
crowding the COW beyond her normal
capacity, making her short-lived, and
the cost of production extremely high;
but rather a ration that will maintain
her in good physical condition, pro
duce a strong, well developed calf aud
give us an economical milk yield.
High priced feed and low prices for
milk or its products, is very unde-
sirnble combination, but 1t is some
timer economy to submit to present

go by default.
Dairy work is no longer guess work,
but science. Simple it is true, but all
the same science
People who are troubled with their
cream and butter are generally those
who have made no study of the prin-
ciples that absolutely govern the sour
ing of cream and the process of butter
making.
There is no excuse for any farmers
wife being ignorant of the methods of
good butter making In these days of
scientific teachers in the experiment

Remember the COW has a hard time
keeping up her usual milk flow and
lighting flies, to say nothing of the
effect the terrific heat has upon her

II has always been more or less of
an unsettled point as to how much
constituted bushel, or how much we
shall give or take for bushel OF
vegetables The consumer can sell
dom estimate how long a bushel or
barrel of any kind of produce will last,
even though he uses about the same
quantity daily.
The size of the hushel is usually
regulated by the pricI Of the article
bought, as with potatoes, if they are
cheap, the producer and. middleman
give liberal measure, but when they
are high and they know that they are
masters Of the situation, they give
the consumer very small measure.
They philosophically arrive at the con-
clusion that they should be well paid
for their produce and the expense of
handling it.
At such times the measure is not
carefully filed or rounded up and
the buyer has to take what is given
him. On the other hand, if the pota-
toes are cheap, the grower and the
middleman have lost the vantage
ground they held and are willing to
I'll up the measures rounding.
The same y-play goes on between
the dealer and the man who buys the
article for his home use, only of
course, it is more skilfully played
than in the former case in order that
the dealer may make an honest living.
Who has not bought vegetables for
family use at different times and been
surprised at the difference in the num-
Der Of pecks that constituted bushel
or barrel of potatoes?
How much more simple it would be
to place one or a dozen heads of cab
bage on a scale and sell it for so much,

AS Herbert Cory tells it, he went to

than it is to lump them off for so
much a head which is tedious task
to both the buyer and the seller.
AS a general thing, cabbages are not
all of one size or weight; very large
heads are often very tight, and unless
the buyer is an expert in the business
he is frequently deceived by the ap-
pearance of the lot The whole sys-
TEN of selling vegetables by measure
instead of by weight, constitutes a
cheating game and places honesty at
a discount.
When beSts, carrots and parsnlps
are sold by small measure, 1t is I'M
possible to get down to accuracy and
the exact amount paid for. BY their
peculiar shape, these vegetables form
a temptation for dealers to cheat the
customers.
Barrels of potatoes vary in size from
one to three pecks and as there is no
inducement to pack in large barrels,
small ones are used and sell for the
same price to the trade. Every deal.
er should buy by the hundred pounds
and BE willing to sell by the sarSo
weights: but as it is now, the dealers
want big weight of the growers and
to deal out the produce to the trade
by the measure;
1t is just as easy to sell vegetables
by the pound as it is to sell grain or
sugar and other commodities, and
there is no reason why the dealer
should not sell on the same basis of
measure as he buys.
We have seen growers sell potatoes
on the city markets when every bushel
would make five pecks of the grocery
mans size we'll rounded up. 1t is
fact that these measures were further
reduced before they got into the
homes of the consumers.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan 23.-The Cen

wear and 14,5l5,T99 bales the year be
fore. Ginnings TO January were correct
ed to 1883. $50 bales and ginnings for
the period this year are therefore 236.-
900 bales, comparing with $4,000 last
year and 10000 in 1912. The percent

goo for linters, but according to the best
nforma ton, the percentage represented
by to-days report is higher than last
years, many believing that only about
l per cent remains to be ginned.
The Census was, of course, a good dead
larger than expected, but with improve
ment in financial and trade conditions
both in this country and in Europe, a
temporary depression only is likely.
The contract market here showed a loss
of about II points in the early trading,
but met with good demand on the de-
preston from short acreage, both in
futures and spots
BAD weather is indicated for the Cen
tral and Eastern States. with prospects

Spot demand seems on for good and
is not affected by ginning statistics.
Futures rallied under steady demand to

During the period from December 10 to

HEAVY C|NN|NCS
$4,000 More Bales Ginned Than
Expected-Good Support
on Decline.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-Unexpectedly
bearish figures in the Census Bureau
ginning report caused general selling at
the opening of the cotton marekt Mo-
day and first prices were at 8 net de-
cline Of 4 to 10 points from Thursday s
final. Shorts, who had covered within
the past few days, resold, and Wall
street traders also offered considerable
cotton. About the only support came
from the leading spot interests and
these were heavy buyers of May. Early
advices from the South were bullish.
Futures and spots in Liverpool were
steady.
Ginning figures for the period from
January l to January Is, were 256,097
bales, being about Sc. 900 bales larger
than the trade expected. bringing the
total to January 16 up to 13,589,171 bales,
against 13,0SS. $50 last year. After the
call the trend of the market was to-
ward lower levels and at the end of half
an hour prices had increased the in
itial decline to 8 to 10 points. Later a
demand sprung up, coming from the
larger interests, and prices rallied to
the opening range.
Conservative cotton men were of the
opinion that the total of 13,5S9,171 bales
pointed almost certainly to an ulti-
mate yield of 1880 900 bales, including
linters. However, the market found
good>support at the decline of 10 points
and at noon the list was only 6 points
below Yesterdays close. A large Phil
adelphia spot house was the chief sup
port to prices at the decline. This class
of buying checked offering to consid-
cradle extent. Wall street and local
traders were the principal sellers
While sentiment continues more
friendly to the market, it is believed
that the demand for spots will slow
up because of purchases for January
commitments being about completed.
However, spot news continues bullish.
Sterrett Tate says
At the close the market was barely
steady, with prices at net decline of
