INFLUENCE COLOR OF BUTTER
Markets Demand Yellow Tint Which
Is Supplied by Use of Dyes or
Character of Cows Feed.

Although it is fact that some dairy
breeds gire yellower milk than others,
even though it may be no richer in
fat, the thing of greatest influence in
color is the kind of feed the COWS
are getting. Market demands call for
a yellow butter, which is supplied in
the creamery by the use of certain
harmless vegetable dyes, the use Of
which dairy laws rightly permit.
The color also can be fed into the
milk and make the use of dyes un-
necessary. Carrots, for example, color
milk and cream quickly. One of the
natural c0loring materials in milk and
butter is called carotin, from carrots,
and this material is found in many
food materials. 1t is plentiful in fresh
green grass, hence the milk colors
up well in early spring. Alfalfa hay,
cured to have bright green color,
contains good SUPPLIES of carotin, which
appears in the cream as a result.
Hay which has lost this green color,
dry corn fodder, silage, straw, yell
low corn and white, wheat, wheat
bran, cottonseed meal and other milled
feeds contain practically none, and
cream from COWS so fed will produce
a light colored butter unless artificial
coloring is supplied. The color adds
nothing to the value or digestibility
of butter, save in ones mind, but the
market demands yellow butter all
the year round and the color must
either be supplied in the feed or in
the creamery.

(By M. covERDELL)

The balky horse and the "kicky"
cow rob us of time, labor and patience.
Sentence these robbers to an unlimited
term in the market place-the sooner
the better.
The chicken-eating hog is an aggra-
waiting robber no sane man can afford
to retain on the farm. 1t never will
pay for the feed it consumes and the
fowl flesh it plumbers.
Rust is a robber most of us en-
courage by leaving all sorts Of tools
and machinery exposed to the wealth
er. Still, farmers appear not to de-
tect the enormous amount this robber
filches from them every season. nor
do they provide ample shedding for
checking this destructive influence.
The dairy COW with a profuse flow
of milk and a low cream test is rob-
bing us by cutting down the profits
of the whole herd for she eats just
as much high-priced feed and requires
as much care and attention as the COW
that turns you in twice as much money.
The Babcock or some other test equal
lv as reliable, detects these robbers;
while a quick sale sends them where
they belong and stops leak in your
dairy profits.

CHICKEN FEATHERS
HAVE FAIR VALUE
Essential That They Be Carefully
Prepared for Home Use as
Well as for Market.

In estimating the profits from q
flock of chickens, it should be known
that the feathers from dressed fowls
possess a fair value. The feathers
may be marketed or they may be put
to a variety of uses at home, as many
a thrifty housewife knows. The small
soft feathers may be used in making
pillows and cushions, if first cleaned.
They should be placed in heavy tick.
ing when being used in these articles,
SO as not to work out.
1t is essential that the feathers be
carefully prepared for home use as
well as for commercial purposes, az
otherwise they are apt to give off dis
agreeable odors. The method gen.
orally employed in factories which re
ceive the feathers from cold storage
plants is to wash the feathers in a
large tank containing water in which
quicklime has been Stacked in the
proportions of pound of lime tc
each gallon of water. They are kept
in this tank two or three days, being
stirred occasionally. Then they are
rinsed thoroughly and carried to q
rapidly revolving perforated basin
where they are partly dried, aftel
which they are transferred to large
steam cylinders. Here they are KEEP
moving until perfectly cured. Feath
ers can be treated in much the same
manner at home. After they have
been thoroughly washed and rinsed
either run them through wringel
or carefully press out the water By
hand. Place ON sieves or netting IL
the sun to dry.
The prices paid for clean feathers
range from Is to so cents per pound
white feathers bringing the higher
prices The stiff wing and tail feath
ers should be kept separate from th'
soft body feathers. Unless featherI
can be marketed at once, they should
be we'll cleaned as otherwise they arr
apt to decompose badly before the!
can be marketed and, of course, the!
will then be worthless.

STOPPING TRAFFIC IN OPIUM
China Is Slowly but Surely Putting an
End to Vice That Threatened
National Existence.

China is slowly but none the less
surely putting a stop to the traffic
In opium. The government has not
wavered or faltered for a single in
stant since it declared war on the
deadly drug, and the most gratifying
results have attended its efforts. I'M
portations, which used to run up as
high as 100000 pounds yearly, have
been constantly falling off, until in
1914 only 1906 pounds were i'm
ported. The showing made is remark
able in view of the fact that hundreds
of thousands, millions, without doubt,
of Chinese are addicted to the use of
opium.
Statistics of the trade show that
since 1863 opium worth approximate
ly 81 1000, 100000 has been consumed in
China, and the men who have grown
rich in the unholy traffic have used
their money freely to continue its i'm
portation. They first tried to prevent
legislation, and then encouraged SNUG
Cling. All to no purpose. The ruling
powers had made up their minds as
to the reason why China was so far
behind the rest of the world and de-
termined to remove the cause. Some
idea of the immense amount of work
to be done to bring about the total
extinction of the traffic is gained when
it is stated that there are still 5S5
opium shops in the Shanghai interna-
tional settlement Owing to the un-
relenting attitude of the Chinese gov
ernment, however it is expected all
the Shanghai Joints" will be closed
within two years.

HELPS FOR
SUCCESS IN DAIRY
Seek to Have Sire Superior to
Cows in Herd-Use Care
Not to 0Verfeed.

A sunny, clean barn means more
contented COWS.
Record keeping tends to increase
the milk production of the herd by
the eliminatory process.
The ration for the dairy COW should
be bulky, well-balanced, palatable' di-
gestible, and economical.
Until we get perfect animals we
should search FOR sire that in some
particulars is superior to the COWS
in our herds.
The first step in the production OF
clean milk is to arrange to keep the
cows clean.
1t is hopeless to advise dairy farm
ers who are opposed to silos, daily pa
pers, and things that cost little time
and money.
1t is an expensive operation to sup
ply grain to COWS with which to build
up energy to fight flies.
Prepotency does not come by
chance, but through years of proper
breeding for certain characteristics
and a specific function.
During hot, dry weather, when flies
are troublesome, it pays to let the
calves stay inside all day and let then
run in the pasture at night.
One of the greatest points in feed
ing calves is not to overfeed them.
We need to have a clear idea Of
what breeding does, of what feeding
does, of what care and environment
do, If we secure and maintain profit
able dairy herd.
Milk-giving is a habit that responds
to encouragement or neglect. 1t il
u function that may be developed ol
diminished by the treatment accorded
the COW.
Lines of breeding which a century
has evolved and stamped with approx
al, ought to prove safer than the
theories of a single mind, made tan
gible in a few heterogeneous crosses
No COW can properly digest and as
simulate balanced rations and econ
omically convert them into milk un
less she has been properly developed
