The advantages of a cooperative
However, the most important point
to consider is that the patrons will
receive more net money by operating

cries and cheese factories are re-
sponsible for placing thousands of
dollars annually in the pockets OF
Northwest dairymen which they would
never get without cooperative asso.
Citations. This assertion is proved by
conditions in some states, where
the net price paid to the dairymen
for butter fat is as much as 10 cents
per pound lower than the price re.
ceived by dairymen from many of the
Northwest cooperative creameries.
In some places the farmers are afraid
to organize and operate their WI
factories, for fear of outside competi.
ton. 1t is not at all likely that a
time will come when a cooperative
creamery or cheese factory with
opSA pau q NC lotolN ~
jured in this way. For instance, if a
creamery starts in any community
where there is enough raw material
to operate 1t economically. and If
everybody in the organization con-
tinues to patronize it, there is no
chance for any one to injure it. The
success of a creamery or cheese fac
tory does not depend Upon what out
siders do. but it does depend on wheth.
er those who should patronize it
stand by it or not.
IT should be remembered that there
is a period of development for every
creamery or cheese factory. Just as
for any business or farm. The first
year things are not as we'll arranged
as they should be later. In the es-
Enlistment of a factory. this same
period of development must be looked
for, and it Is through this period that
the cooperative qualities of people
are tested. The Importance of stand
Ing by the local creamery should be
made plain to every one. If the ad-
vice of this article is carefully fol.
lowed any community in need of a
creamery or cheese factory, in the
course of a few years may have a
good plant. 1t is a duty each individ-
ual owes to his community and state
to encourage such enterprises. Don't
wait for some one to come in and de-
develop the dairy industry. Do it
yourself and get the benefit. If an
outsider comes in he will be looking
after his interests and not the inter.
ests of the community. A poor start
in a community is hard to overcome.
1t is important that you start right.

ALFALFA FOR CATTLE.
Experiments Show Good Results In
Feeding Steers.

In Kansas it was found that in feed.
ing steers with c~orn-and.cob meal and
alfalfa hay. the cost Of 1870 pounds OF
gain was S3.13. With c~orn-and-cob
meal and sorghum hay the cost OF
100 pounds OF gain ran up to $9.05.
The average profit per steer On the
c~orn.and.cob meal and alfalfa hay "a
ton amounted to $S.3S. The average
loss per steer with the c]orn-and-cob
meal and sorghum hay ration amount.
ed to $1.66. a difference between the
two rations of S!0.64 per steer.
In Nebraska a comparison was made
between corn and prairie hay against
corn and alfalfa hay fey feeding two
yaar-o!d steers. Tho res",ts are the
average Of three experiments. The
cost Of 100 pounds OF ga with corn
ana alfalfa amounted to 1929. For
the saG.e amount o. gain with corn
and prairie hay, the cost was SS.32.
The profit per head from the corn
and alfalfa fed steers was S5.02, but
from the corr and prairie hay fed
steers the loss was 2. cents per head.

SIMPLE PLAN FOR
ROTATION Of CROPS
Plant Ground to Corn Every
Third or Fourth Year.
INCREASED YIELD THE RESULT

Rotation of crops can growing
different crops on the same field and
in some regular succession. One of
the simplest is to introduce a corr
crop every third or fourth year in.
stead of growing the same crop every
year. Fifteen years Investigation at
the North Dakota Experiment Station
on putting in a crop of corn every
fourth year instead of growing wheat
continuously resulted in securing
more wheat in the three years than
was formerly grown in the four
years. The total yield of wheat on the
field that grew this crop continuously
was 2O6 bushels. The yield of wheat
for the same period on the field that
had corr every fourth year and wheat
the other three was 233A bushels.
On another field similar to the last
except that the corn was MANFRED
the wheat yield was 262& bushels,
or 1914 bushels more than on the
field that grew wheat every year. On
the two last fields there were also four
corr crops in the bargain. The total
return for the fifteen years from the
acre continuously in wheat was
s1os.a?. while the acre in corn one
year followed by three years of wheat
returned $1,000. and when the corn
was MANFRED the returns went to
$4,000.
This shows the advantage that
comes from adding one crop as we'll
as the added returns in grain when
some Of the crops are fed and the
manure returned to the land. If the
animals on the farm are good ones
they will return a good deal more
than market prices for the feed con
snined. This means that the rota.
ton of crops will increase both yields
and profits.
To secure the best results from a
rotation OF crops live stock must be
kept. The rotation of crops with live
stock balances up the farm operations
in many ways. The fertility is main.
tanned; the labor is distributed and
can be used to better advantage;
horse labor is better distributed; the
income is made continuous; weeds.
plant diseases and insects are re.
Iuced: the returns are increased and
made more certain. If one thing
fails there are others to fall back ON.

WHEN 4 CAR GOES WRONG.
Practical hdcthod Of Discovering Auto.
mobile Troubles.

A systematic way should be adopt
ed when 4 car goes wrong to diagnose
the ailment of the sick car. First ex-
anime for a good spark. Without this
no motor will run. Lay the plug on
the cylinder to determine if q good
one Is present. If not. correct this
first. Then crank the motor, and if it
does not go neXt examine the car
buretor, but it is better to get the mo-
tor running if possible before changing
the fuel and air supply. If the spark
and gasoline supply are all right the
motor will run at some speed, but the
car may be short on power. and if SO
test the cylinders for compression.
This can be done properly by means
of a compressometer, which is a small
circular air gauge which can be cou-
pied up to the shell of a discarded
spark plug and will fit the spark plug
hole. Then the exact pressure can be
e If the pressure is not present
go after the valves, grind them in.
then test again. If poor pressure, then
look at the rings. but these are seldom
wrong. The tire gauge on a foot pump
connected up as above described makes
a splendid cOmpressometer. 1t is the
kind l use.
All the above means of procedure Is
the correct way. presuming the gasO-
line. oil and water supply are in their
proper quantities. No car will run
without these. 1t is also presumed
the car is not broken in any of its
parts so as to interfere with its run
ming. Remember if n car has run it
will do SO again under the same cir
cumstances. - Automobile Dealer and
