The reason Vinol is so successful in

Most of the surplus butter from the
farm COW in the South is exchanged
for groceries at the country store. On
account of poor quality, u~nattractlve
packages, and irregular supply, the
prices received for this butter are very
low. Bulletins explaining how the
housewife can make good butter and
how to put it into attractive packages

Purchasers of butter like to buy
from persons who can furnish it the
year round. Usually the market for
farm butter is o~versupplied during the
summer season. This is because cows
generally freshen in the spring and
thus furnish a greater supply Of butter
throughout the summer, when grass
and green feed are abundant, than at
any other time of the year. For this
reason the price of butter is lowest In
SulIIlIlSt dlu HiShCol III IN
take advantage of these conditions
farmers should have their COWS fresh
en- in the fall; this would tend TO
equalize the supply of butter through
out the year.
In many cases 10 great effort is
made to find a good market for the
farm butter. Too often nearby gro
Gerry stores are regarded as the only
market possibility. Boarding houses,
women's clubs, hotels and restau-
rants, and private families, not only
i'll the home towns but in surrounding
towns, should be c~anvassed and a sam
pie of the butter exhibited. In this
way a good market for farm butter
may be secured if the butter is OF
good quality and can be supplied reg
uiarly.

The shipping OF cream compels the
farmer to have a separator. The cost
of the separator is often d~iscouraglng
to the mar who has only two or three
cows, and who, but for this expense,
could sell a small amount of cream.
This, however, need not prevent the
purchase of a separator, as some com
panies sell their machines for a small
cash payment, the remainder to be
paid in monthly or bimonthly install
ments. This enables the farmer to let
the cows pay for the separator.
Again, in the case of several farm
ers living neal one another, n sepa7
rator, centrally located, can be USED
by all. The central separator offers
a splendid opportunity for land
owners to encourage their tenants
to keep cows. Even if the tenants
have only small quantities OF milk. 1t
will bring more money in. the form OF
cream than if the milk were churned
and the butter sold. Carrying the
milk to the separator is also less trou-
BILE han making the butter.
In sections where cream a be mar
keted. routes operated in some such
way as described are to be commend
ed. provided the cream is produced
and handled properly, as they enable
the farmer to procure a steady cash
income from his COWS by providing
market at his door.

OFTEN the farmer or some member OF
his family can without Inconvenience
deliver the butter to the purchasers.
When those who have butter to sell
can not deliver it to distant purchas-
ers they should investigate the oppor-
tunities offered by the parcel post
service.
Cream obtained by running the
warm whole milk through a cream
separator Is a very convenient form
in which to market the product of
COWS. Less equipment and labor are
required for this method than if but
ter is made.
For handling cream it is necessary
to have a separator, shipping cans
some appliances for heating water to
wash utensils, and some means for
cooling the cream
Cream if not properlystaken care of
is easily spoiled. Directions for TAX
ing the proper car of milk and cream
are described in a circular which is

culture.
Since the fat is the most valuable
part. cream is usually sold according
to the pounds of fat it contains. For
determining the percentage of fat in
cream the Babcock test, which is a
simple process, is used. Small sam
Piles of cream are tested and the per.
centage Of fat shown Is multiplied by
the weight of the cream from which
the sample is taken. For example, if
a sample of cream from a can con-
tanning 40 pounds is found to test 20
per cent, the pounds of butterfat are
found by multiplying 40 by OBS,
which is ten pounds. The persons
buying the cream generally do the
sampling and testing.
Hotels, restaurants, railroad eating
houses, soda fountains. and ice cream
manufactures offer markets for fresh
sweet cream. Such markets require
a high class product of uniform quail
ity and a dependable supply delivered
at regular intervals. This makes It
necessary for farmers who supply
such markets to have good transporta-
ton facilities.

HE fuel value of two pounds of
q wood is roughly equivalent to
d that of one pound Of coal. This
is given as the result of

is given as the result of GER
tain calculations now being made in
the forest service laboratory, which
show also about how many cords of
certain kinds Of wood are required to
obtain an amount of heat equal to that
in a ton of coal.
Certain kinds of wood, such as hick-
DRY, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, ash,
elm, locust. long leaf pine and cherry,
have fairly high heat values and only
one cord Of seasoned wood of these
species is required to equal one ton of
good coal.
It takes a cord and half of short
leaf pine. hemlock, red gum, Douglass
fir, sycamore and soft maple to equal
a ton of coal and two cords Of cedar,
redwood, poplar. catalpa. Norway pine,
cypress, Eastwood. spruce and white
pine.
Equal weights of dry. nonresinous
woods, however, are said to have prac
tically the same heat value regardless
of species, and as a consequence it can
be stated as general proposition that
the heavier the wood the more heat to
the cord. Weight for weight. however.
there is little difference between vari-
Gus species. The average heat for all
that have been calculated is 1900 Gallo
ries, or heat units, to a kilogram. A
kilOgram Of resin will develop 9,4OO
heat units or about twice the average
for wood AS a consequence, resinous
woods have a greater heat value to
/ the pound than nOnresinous woods. and
this increased value varies, of course.
| with the resin content.
1t is pointed out, however, that heat
value is not the only test Of usefulness
! in fuel wood. and since 95 per cent of
all wood used for fuel is consumed for
! domestic purposes, largely in farm
| houses, such factors as rapidity of
burning and ease of lighting are i'm
! portant. Each section of the country
| has its favored woods, and these are
said to be, in general, the right ones
to use. Hickory. of the nonresinous
woods, has the highest fuel value to
! the unit volume Of wood and has other
advantages. 1t burns evenly and, as
housewives say, holds the heat.
The oaks come next, followed by
beech, birch and maple. Pine has a rel
atively low heat value to a unit vol
ume, but has other advantages. It ig-
mites readily and gives out a quick, hot
fame, but one that soon dies down.
This makes it a favorite with rural
housekeepers as a summer wood. be-
cause it is particularly adapted for bot
days in the kitchen.

COAL MINERS CLOCKS.
Telling the Time of Day by Lamp or
an Oil Flask,


Do you know that every miner when
descending into the pit to work takes
with him a couple of clocks? These
are not ordinary timepieces, for they
have neither wheels, springs, dials nor
any Of the usual appurtenances. The
clocks" are simply his lamp and oil
flask. By noting the quantity Of Oil
cOnsumed-or that left-the miner can
tell to within few minutes any hour
of the day or night.
When miners lamp goes out, as it
not infrequently does, in almost any
circumstances he must not relight it
himself. Instead, though he may be
left in pitch darkness, he must grope
his way to the lamp cabin or to some
other point where he can obtain the
proper assistance. He does the ''grop-
ing'' with his hands, STOPPING down
until he touches the tram lines along
which the coal is taken, and sliding
his hands along the metal until he
reaches his destination or meets some
one going in the same direction.
A coal hewer's earnings depend on
the weight of coal he gets and also on
the number Of fathOms cut. A cubic
yard Of coal weighs about eighteen
hundredWeight, and the outstretched
arms of an average man extend to
about one fathom. By these measure
ments, independent of the official ones,
each man can roughly calculate his
earnings for any particular "shift.''-
