How One Member figured The Profits

and Her By.Products.


Groton Indep endent The Farmers
Club at Bath is a live wire. On the
evening Of the 21st5 they met for ain
oyster supper in which one hundred
participated, and at which Mr.. Pat.
terson and others spoke. Al contest
was ARA aged for in farm products, to
be pulled off just before the county
contest at Aberdeen
W p, Burton, one OF the most wide
~ known farmers of the county gave
u dairy talk which the American pub
lished in full, and from which We
make liberal extracts as follows :s
I have been asked to give some III
5ures to show whether or not the milk
Inc OF COWS Is q paying proposition,
and shall try to do so. We milk on
the average of 15 cows and the per-
iod taken as a basis was from Nov
ember ia last to March liza total
of lit days or practically weeks.
Cream checks for the ] weeks am,
sounted to $153.45. AT first thought
this might seem hardly worth the
effort, but in milking as In other lines
there are other things to be consider
ed, besides the main product The
butter used by the house we have
figured at 2Sc per pound. The ann
cunt used in this way averaged 1G
pounds per week. In 17 weeks we
used 10 pounds. valued at $4 7.60. The
milk used daily would average three
quarts or a total Of 35l quarts, Be
sides the butter and the milk, we
used on the average of one quart Of
cream per day or 1T quarts. The
value of the milk at &c per quart
would be $17.65 and Of the cream at
30c would be $3.50. The total Of
milk products used by 8tbe louise that
would otherwise have gone to In
crease the total OF the cream checks
was therefore $1O0.2b, From 80 to
35 gallons of separated milk per day
were fed to the calves. This milk
we should estimate to be worth $1.00
per day or SILT for the. period, Men
who have made a study of the sub
iect tell us that one Of the most val.
liable results of stock raising Is in
the increased fertility of the land.
That this is a fact, we can hardly
dispute and the experience Of older
countries prove this to be true. To
estimate the value of load OF ma
nure is Of course difficult, but we are
probably safe at placing it at SOC. a
load per Gay was taken from these
cows. The value of this fertilizer at
soc per load we might place at $3.50.
We have yet to consider the value OF
the calves. This item naturally pre-
sents some difficulty because We are
considering only a short period II q
years time were under discussion we
would add the value of Is calves at

 GET BIG ORDERS Some Developments in Iron Industry Past Week of

 ture. Among the most important were

 After negotiations lasting several

 mand for cast iron pipe.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 FINANCIAL WORLD

New York, June 7.--The mood of the stock market last week was to at tribute great. influence to political de- velopments as affecting values. In New York attention was centered upon Washington and foreign markets showed a disposition to dwell upon political conditions. Sentiments and prices fluctuated from day to day with dealings In q very restricted scale but also murky from the previous week g stagnation. The insistence of govern ment authorities that signs of business depression are psychological and ficti- tious served to dash the hopes tha' politics would have a growing spirit of toleration toward big business. Antitrust legislation, fresh investi- gation of railroad scandals and the re- suit of labor leglslation in Congress were added factors. Mitigating in- fluences were the refusal of the Sen ate to move an inquiry into the New York Central merger and inferences in favor of freight rate increases drawn from the remarks of interstate Commerce Commissioner Clements be- fore n Senate committee.
 Previous high expectations of the crops were not fully sustained The governments cotton estimate made a poor contrast with the abundant prom ise of the winter wheat. The weeks weather map also showed deficiencies in some regions
 Revival in the steel trade still halt, ed. A yielding tendency in the price | of refined copper pointed to paralle
 conditions in that industry. The Mis- souri Pacific and Boston and Main.
 note extensions relieved some appre hension, but investment demand fo
 bonds remained sluggish, even whil, | the extreme ease of money was unaf l fected by further gold exports.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, June 7.-The price of cot ton made new high records for the season last week. the new crop months going to the 1Sc level, chiefly as the result of the report Monday of 74.3 per cent of the normal as the condition on May 20. This report was issued Monday, and Mondays best prices were the highest of the week A net gain of 36 points was established. After this the market fell off somewhat under liquidation and more or less short selling, based on improvement in weather conditions. The net change for the week was a rise of to 13 points.
 While current weather condition may rule the market ths week, much attention will be paid to reports concerning the damage done the crop by the adverse weather of the recent past. Information concerning planting and replanting and the abandonment of acreage because of foul fields or overflows will be eagerly sought.
 Dry weather in the western belt and showers in the eastern would be called favorable. and would lead to short selling but such selling would be limited if re- ports from the fields indicated much loss of acreage. The governments acreage re- turns will be given the trade with the next condition report, and the area planted and being cultivated will soon become a live question.
