PRACTICE OF CREAM GRADING
Better Material Is Secured for Cream
cries and Insures Better Product
for the Consumer.

tBy R. M'CANN, State Dairy Inspector
of Colorado)
The old system of spelling good
cream with bad by mixing the two
Is a practice to be relegated to the
past. Consumers, manufacturers and
producers alike should demand and ex-
pect that progress or a lead be made
In products and manufactures of their
respective community and state.
While cream grading is a compara-
lively new measure in many of our
bordering states, it has apparently
proved beyond doubt its value in many
respects, the foremost of which are:
Securing better material for cream
cries; placing an incentive and reward
for the production of good cream by
difference in price received for first
grade cream over that for second
grade, and insuring better product
for the consumer, thereby increasing
consumption and demand for products
manufactured.

CAULIFL0WER NOT
HARD TO MANAGE
Rich Earth and Abundance of
Moisture Are Two Most In
portant Factors.

Many consider the culture of cauli.
dower the same as cabbage. In many
respects it is similar, but it differs in
q number of ways.
In many of the southern states the
caulifiower plants are set out in au-
tumn and they live through the win
ter and head up quite early in the
spring. In the central or northern
portion Of the country the plants are
grown in early spring, and kept in
hotbeds of only moderate heat, or in
sold frames, and in either case should
be given plenty of room and a free
circulation of air to prevent the plants
being too spindling or tender. For late
or autumn caulifower, the seed may
be sown in May or early June.
Very rich earth and abundance of
moisture are the two most important
factors in the culture of caulifiower.
Close proximity to lakes, streams or
the sea helps to insure good crop,
as the dews are SO much heavier.

SLOW IN TAKING ADVANTAGE
Certain Loss Due to Bad Roads Made
Apparent When Shedding 10 Good
During Winter.

The heavy SHOWS and excellent sled
ding serve to emphasize what might
be accomplished if good roads pre-
vailed all over the country. Farmers
can take their bobs and put on twice
as heavy loads as is possible at other
times. 1t is not argued, of course,
that with roads as smooth as dance
hall floor the teams could pull on
wheeled vehicles the loads they do
now on bobs. But there is certain
loss due to bad roads that is made
all the more apparent by the ease
with which transportation is made
when the shedding is good, says South
Bend Tribune. And to think that for
all these years nature has been show
ing US the advantage OF good roads
and we have been so slow to take the
hint! It should make us ashamed of
our blindness and stupidity.

We aim to give the cow about
three or four months rest out of ev-
cry season, feeding and caring for
her, with a view to intensive dairying
the remainder of the year. This not
only enables the cow to do her best
while being milked, but yields US
greater returns for the time and labor
expended in handling her, and her
dairy products.
OF course the same rule will not ap-
ply to each individual member of the

very little effort, while some will milk
right up to the time they drop their

In either case we discontinue feed
ing those rations which are conducive

(By M. COvERDELL)

Most farmers seem to breed the
cow with no concern as to her re
sorcefulness or enduring qualities
She is bred at an early age; bred
again just as soon as she will come in
heat after her first calving; held right
to her milk as nearly as possible to
the next calving time, and handled
thus until she is worn out, and no
longer useful.
With such management, her un-
born calf will have much of its susie
nance taken from it on account of the
nourishment going toward keeping up
the cow, which results in a weakened
offspring, and this influence gradually
wields a most deteriorating effect on
the grade of the herd in general, since
each succeeding calf will be still more
undesirable than the one before it.
We have seen cows whose nature
febelled against such treatment, and
invariably these animals positively re-
fused to come in sufficient heat to be
gotten with calf. This shows, con-
clusively, that the cow requires and

WHITE GRUB A MOST
TAkTALIZING PEST
No Way of Preventing Its Depre-
dations Other Than to ThWart
Its Propagation.
(By NJ. N. EDGERTON.)

In connection with the work of grow.
ing Strawberries the white grub is a
| most tantalizing opposing force. Be-
cause of the manner in which it works
there is no way of preventing its dep
relations, other than by preventing its
propagation.
Land in sod is the favorite place of
these grubs, hence it is good policy to
fallow such land two seasons prior to
setting to strawberries. This is the
only way to clean them out effectually.
As it is not good for land to lie idle
and bare for such length of time, it
is best to grow some sort of hoed crop.
Corn is preferable to potatoes, because
the grub seems to thrive on a potato
diet, feeding as it does on the tubers.
The practice Of growing corn after
sod and following with peas is a good
one. Thorough cultivation of the corn
row kills the grass roots, and the pea
crop enriches the soil, both in humus
and plant food.
But even when all due precautions
have been taken, the grub often re-
mains. although in greatly reduced
numbers. Its presence may be detect

somewhere, and many times one of
these grubs will be found at the base
of the plant. feeding on it's roots.
AS this is the only portion of the |
plant attacked by the grub the plants
cannot be protected by the use of poi
sons. 1t is not often that the plant
attacked can be saved, but the killing
Of the grub will save other plants, as a

age expense to American farmers fol-
a year is approximately 00,000,000
And every dollar of this sum comes
from the farmers pocket, for he is
the one great producer who cannot
add the haulage expense to his wares,
for the prices he gets are on a de-
livered basis.
Il believe that if every farmer would
take pencil and paper and figure the
amount in tons of the produce and
stock he markets in year, multiply
it by the number of miles he must haul
it to market, multiply the total by 25,
which is about the average haul
ing cost a ton mile, and then
consider that he could save nearly
half of this amount every year if
he had concrete or other hard
roads all the way to his market, he
would become an earnest good-roads
worker.
"And this actual dollars and cents
saving doesn't take into consideration
the many advantages of good roads
in bringing neighbors closer together,
in making it easier and pleasanter to
get to church, school, entertainments,
etc.
with wider interest in better roads
must come a more efficient system of
road building and maintenance. This
is work for experienced and compe-
tent highway engineers, just as much

WORK AROUND FARM
DURING THE SPRING
Good Plan to Clip Work Horses
Clean Seed Before Planting
Gull Poultry Flock.

| Mighty good plan to clip the horses
before the spring work begins-but
not too soon.
Do not rush the work In the gardens.
Time will be saved by waiting until
the ground gets warm, no matter what
the date may be.
Are you going to sow seed without
cleaning it, and then raise big crop
Of weeds? Buy, beg or borrow fan
ming mill.
Never buy seed from a dealer in a
far-away city, unless he is willing to
guarantee that it is pure. II he will
not guarantee his seed, be sure it is
wrong.
Getting seed corn from the crib in
the same old, haphazard way this
spring? Or, perhaps you are paying
fancy prices to dealers rather than
save your own seed? Either way is
bad business.
Do not let the trees from the nursery
lie in the wind single hour without
covering with a wet gunny sack or
damp earth. The latter is better.
Best way is to have your nursery
orders in long before planting time,
with instructions to ship when you are
ready to receive them, and not a day
before.
Get rid of all the fuzzy-wuzzy old
hens and roosters. Remember that
any hen over two years old is not
worth her keep.
It is pity to put sitting hens, or
hens with chicks, into old, louse-rid-
den houses, when a bit of burning sui
phur, spraying with kerosene and
soap, or a whitewashing will make the
premises sweet and clean. Going to
