but does not have the taste and facili.

when some neighbor dairyman was
raising all of his calves without regard
to dairy promise for future use In his
herd. Try and make some sort of an

how rapidly you will be able to i'm.
prove your herd. II is folly to feed
inferior calves when good ones can be
purchased for practically nothing, ex.
cepting the trouble of taking them

1t is not always fully realized that
milk, as it is produced in the udder

task of the milk producer having a
healthy herd then is to get the milk
as the COW gives it and keep it clean
and cold.
The bacteria which make the milk
spoil and render it unsafe for human
food come from the dirt, or excrement,
on the cows Hanks and udder, from
the dust o. the barn, from dirty and
unsterilized utensils, and from the
person and clothes of the milkar. Ac-
cordingly, It pays to have the milk
producer keep clean. He shoSfd keep
his cows clean, his barn ciaan, his
milking utensils clean and sterile, and

CARELESSNESS OF
GROWER IS COSTLY
Reputation for Perfect Product
and Honesty in Measuring Is
Great Asset for Farmer.

It is Tirue that our fruit growers
and farmers learned to standardize
their products in the same manner as
the manufacturer Of staple food arti-
cles. A reputation for perfect prod.
uct, together with honesty in meas
ure and packing is the greatest asset
that the fruit grower has.
The low prices obtained for small
fruits are In many instances due to
the carelessness of the grower. The
prevalent idea among fruit growers
is that when the prices are low, It
does not pay to take the care and
pains that should be taken, as the re-
turns do not warrant it. This Is
wrong reasoning, for one might argue
with equal reason that when the fruit
is high, the customer will take poor
pack and poor grade, as the demand
is greater than the supply.
The grading and packing of fruit
should not be regulated by prices OBJ
tanned. If any change or any relaxa-
tion in the ordinary rules of packing
and grading is to be made during
period OF low prices. Il should be
made towards greater care, so that
the fruit will sell, regardless of any
oversupply.
A good example how appearance
sells fruit is found in the Ben Davis
apple. Almost every customer knows
the quality of this particular apple,
yet when properly graded and packed
in q new box, the look of the apple
will sell it, regardless of its quality.

Illness. A clean barn, with clean cows,
clean mixer and clean utensils, make
clean milk.
To keep milk pure the producer
must understand the meaning Of
cleanliness. He must know how to
put this understanding into practice.
Mr.. or Mrs. Consumer can help him
by letting him know that they UNI
derstand what cleanliness means and
that they are willing to pay the extra
cost of producing a clean product. III
the consumer and producer could get
together and talk these things over
the consumer would come to realize
the real Twdbfems Of the producer
and the prstlucer would be more rea-
sonable and Kindly disposed towards
the consumer. The producer would
keep his milk pure, and the consumer
would better appreciate the value Of
a clean pFUtluct.

REVOLVING LADDER is HANDY
Fruit Picked Without Damaging IL or
the Trees Which Bore Yt-Applica-
BILE to All Orchards.

The scientific picking OF fruit re-
quires that the operation should be
performed without damaging the tree,
which often occurs when ladders OF
the ordinary design are thrust into the
branches. The revolving ladder sup
port shown in the accompanying cut
has been invented and patented by a
California orange grower. While the
idea is applicable to all orchards it Is
particularly suited for the orange
grove, where the crop is not gathered
at one time as is other fruits, but is
collected at a number Of successive
pickings. A peculiar characteristic OF
the orange tree is that it frequently
has On its branches fruit in many diff
ferent stages of development, all the
way from the bud to the ripe fruit.

Permanent Ladder for Fruit Trees.

The oranges are picked at different
times, the occasion being Influenced by
the convenience of the grower and the
condition of the market. There would
be, therefore, more incentive to the
owner to erect permanent supports OF
t1flis character among the orange trees
chan in an apple orchard, for instance
where the entire crop is removed at
une operation. Then, too, the orange
trees are more fnagile than other
trees, and the grower must necessarily
exercise more care. The apparatus
consists of shaft with one end buried
lin the ground near abe tree trunk and
extending upright Through the tree.
The top is fitted with an arm horizon
ttal with means for securing the top
end of the ladder thereto. This device
may be swung all around the tree 30
that every part may be reached and
the fruit picked without disturbing
leaf.

The Orchard Location.

The north side of hill is the best
location for an orchard, because
changes in temperature are not so
great as elsewhere. On south slopes
the buds start too early in the spring.
cold air descends In hollows and
closed valleys and is likely to kill the
young buds. An orchard near lake
or large pond is not likely to be in
jured by frosts. because the water
tends to mske the temperatures more
even.

A useful MACHINE
Modern Device Does Cleaner

The best machines are the crnes that

There are numerous makes of dig
gers in the field, but the only way to
determine which one is best adapted
to the soil OF your farm is to have a
field test.
Any machine agent should be will

crop Of potatoes it should not be lost
