Cheese or Butter,

Under ordinary conditions, about ten
pounds Of cured cheese can be pro-
duced from 100 pounds of average test
ing milk. says Hoard's Dairyman. In
others words. it requires about ten
pounds of milk to produce a pound Of
cheese. About four pounds of butter
can be made from the same quality OF
milk. If butter sells for % cents a
pound. cheese must sell for 10 cents a
pound in order to give the same returns
per 100 pounds of milk. 1t may be
said that skimmilk is worth consider
ably more for feeding young stock than
whey. and on this account cheese should
sell for more than 10 cents n pound in
order to Justify the selling of milk to a
cheese factory when butter brings %

1T. E.. Keitt. South Carolina s~tation.l
The common field crops require from
300 to 500 pounds Of water for each
pound of dry matter grown. hence the
necessity for reducing the loss of wa
ter through surface evaporation. This
can be most economically accomplish
ed by the maintenance of a dust mulch.
A perfectly dry dust mulch does not
have to be very deep to be effective.
In practice 1t is found that the break
ing of the first two or three inches Of
surface soil forms an effective mulch.
but sand mulches may he thinner than
clay mulches. The mulch should be no
deeper than is necessary for the re-
duction Of evaporation to a minimum.
for the top soil is generally richer than
the lower soil. and the thinner a mulch
can be made and maintained effective
ly the greater the root range of the
plants.
The principle involved in the func-
tioning of n dust mulch Is that the
capillary water is drawn from soil par
ticle to soil particle by surface tension
until it reaches the surface of the soil
and is evaporated. The blowing Of the
surface to the depth already indicated
by means Of n scrape or sweep dis
turbs the arrangement Of the soil par
ticles and the disarranged particles
blanket the surface and prevent the
loss of moisture to any considerable ex-
tent.

MANY cattlemen in the short grass
and short feed country cannot obtain
size In their steers by feed. due to its
scarcity. and hence try to obtain 1t by
breeding and inheritance. through the
introduction Of large boned and large
framed bulls. Yet 1t takes a definite
amount Of feed to make a pound of
gain. and the big rough stock may re-
quire moro feed a pound than smaller
sized animals. The engine does not
run without coal, but the larger 1t is
the more coal it requires. The same is
true Of the steer. except that If 1t lacks
fuel 1t does not develop into as big an
engine.
THE rancher says, If a big strain of
cattle de~teriorates so much in size a
small strain doing the same will disap-
pear The small strain does not dis
