SEPARATOR IS QUITE USEFUL
To Secure Last Cent Of Profit Out Of
Dairy One Must Take Every Pre-
caution to Get Most Milk.

The modern dairy is very different
from the dairy of the old time, and to
get the last cent of profit out of your
labor, and out of your COW. you must
take every precaution for securing the
largest quantity Of milk and for get.
titg from that milk the largest guam
tity OF butter and cream.
One way is to get a separator and
then to learn how to use the separator.
Then you must study the food prob
lem. You must keep an account with
every COW. II you have three or five
or ten. do not average the production
of milk. Keep a separate account with
each cow and find out whether each
COW is producing enough to justify
you in feeding it and caring for it.
This is the foundation of success in
the dairy. ~

COW has been thus described: A COW
that is large. strong and vigorous. full
of energy and Astounding in vitality;
physical organization and digestive
capacity such that she is able to turn
to the best advantage the roughage OF
the farm, converting 1t into merchant
able products; that she yields large
quantities of most excellent milk tit
for any and all uses; that heredity Is
so firmly established that she is able
to perpetuate herself through the pro-
duction Of strong. healthy calves; and
that when for any reason her useful
ness in the dairy is at an end, she
fattens readily and makes excellent
beef
No one will deny the need Of dual
purpose dairy breed in America-one
that is primarily a dairy breed but
that will also furnish desirable beef
The old system of beef production
resting on free range, cheap lands and

MARKETING THE PEACH CROP
One successful Way Is In Car Lots
and That Means Comparatively
Some Essential Hints.

CIV w. H. wICKES. Arkansas Expert
ment Station.)
For conditions where the markets
are comparatively distant there is
Just one way to market peaches sue
cessfully on a commercial scale, and
that is in car lots. This generally
means comparatively, as few growers
have enough of any one variety to
make up a car lot themselves. Grow
ers in the same community should
plant the same variety In order that
they may ripen at the same date. 1t
is almost impossible for peach grow
er to live by himself. Therefore do
not expect to go into a community. no
matter how we'll the soil and climate
are adapted to the cultivation of
peaches, and expect to make a success
of Ave or ten acres of peaches unless
you have a good local market. Better
get a few neighbors to go In with
you and plant a few acres and market
comparatively. Form a cooperative
association and, II possible. affiliate
with a larger central market agency.
As for peaches. the trade uses the
bushel basket and the six-basket
crate. Nearly all the markets prefer
the buchel basket, and there It is,
in most cases, the more desirable
package.
Proper picking, grading and pack.
ing are essential features I'm peach

and that the average COW does not
give a return OF exceeding $40 per
year for the labor invested and food
consumed.
With increasing land values and
cost Of labor and feed, such a return
gives little or no profit; and it is up to
the farmer-dairyman keeping average
cows to find out why he is working
without compensation. If the average
dairy herd in the United States pro-
duces just enough to induce it's owner
to keep on working, 1t is evident that
many COWS are kept at loss, and that
II the average production could be
raised a nice profit would result 1t
Is also evident that the only way to
raise the average is to improve the
methods Of caring for the cattle and
also the cattle themselves. By i'm
proving the methods, 1t Is quite likely
that the better three-fourths of the
cows would produce as much profit as
all now do, and the one-fourth now
kept at a dead loss might be sent to
the block without decreasing the out
put of dairy products. The man who
milks cows merely for the pleasure he
gets out of 1t, provided he can afford
it, may confer a favor on humanity,
but does not show good judgment, and
the sooner such men can be induced
to change their methods the better 1t
will be for the whole dairy industry.
Improvement in conditions is neces-
sarily slow. The greater part Of the
owners are lethargic; but there is al
ways a progressive portion that is
looking for better things, and this
portion will in time leaven the whole
mass. The main cause Of this lethargy
is ignorance. Few men would keep
Improbable cows If they knew which
were kept at a loss; but they do not
test the COWS individually and SO can
not know.
All progress in dairy husbandry.
aside from improved methods Of car.
ing for the cattle, must depend upon
improvement by selection and by
breeding. BY selection Of the best
cows, and breeding to the sons of best
cows, in time a great improvement
would be shown; but this process is
too slow when there is quicker way.
That quicker way Is to make use of
the improved dairy breeds for the OBJ
tanning of bulls with which to mate
the selected cows. An improved breed
is one that Is able to convert food in
to valuable products more profitably
than could the breed or breeds from
which 1t was derived. Also it must be
so thoroughly established that it will
breed true. The breed which should
be carefully bred to is the one that
excels In the profitable production of
milk. butter. cheese and veal. and also
beef production.

GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR
Discovery That Promises to Be Of I'M
mense Importance to Country In
the Midst of War.

The discovery is announced of a
method Of manufacture of soap from
sugar. Of which Germany has plenty,
instead of from oil, which is scarce. In
the past it has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little
value. BY the new method, it Is
claimed, the soap produced is not
only fine and delicate. but it acts as
efficiently in salt water as in fresh
a fact that may make the soap valu-
able for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind of soap.
The finest kinds of silks, it is alleged.
not only are not harmed by it, but
their colors are brought out brilliantly
and as new. In addition, the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for a
minimum of the wear and tear occa-
stoned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

from the dairy herds of the country.
Except for beef for the few who are
able to pay very high prices, COWS can
no longer be kept merely for the calves
produced; practically everywhere the
dairy COW must take the place of the
beef COW. Since these facts are in
disputable. farmer-dairymen seeking
to improve their herds for dairy pur-
poses should keep the item of meat
production constantly In mind.
How many cows there are In the
United States that are kept for milk
production, except for such figures as
are found In the census tables. Is I'M
known; but it may be safely stated
that the number exceeds 2O.OO0.000.
