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 cream
separator is 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 properly taken care OF
is easily spoiled. Directions for TAX
ing the proper care of milk and cream
are described in a circular which is
sent free by the department of agri-
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
simple process, is used. Small SAM
pies 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, II
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 O25,
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
q high class product of uniform quail
| ity and dependable supply delivered
at regular intervals. This makes II
necessary for farmers who supply
such markets to have good transporta-
ton facilities.
The market for cream within reacn

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, unattractive
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
may be obtained without cost by ap-
plying to the department of agricul-
ture, Washington, d. G.
Purchasers of butter like to buy
from persons who can furnish it the
year round Usually the market for
farm butter is oversupplied 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
summer and highest in winter. To
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 no 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
in the home towns but in surrounding
towns, should be canvassed and 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
ularly.
The frequency of delivery will de-
pend upon the demand of the trade.

'D|STORT THE FACTS
Republicans Misrepresent Effect
of Democratic Policies.
Actual Happenings That Account for
the country's Business Depression
Money Stringency In Eu-
rope the Great Factor.

1t is interesting to observe, in view
of the gloomy prophecies of ruin" to
the protected industries through DEM
ocratic "tinkering" with rate schedules
which were not repealed, but only
changed in amount, that the total i'm
portations of dutiable goods were act
ually $54,000,000 less in the January
August eight-months period Of 1914,
under the Underwood tariff, than in
the like period of 1913, under the
Payne-Aldrich tariff The flooding of
the market with foreign-manufactured
goods on which the rates had been
changed by "blundering Democratic
hands" did not materialize; the stream
actually lowered instead of rising.
Gentlemen of the Republican party,
when you charge American business
depression before the war to Demo
cratic policies you dodge some facts
and misrepresent others. What act
ually happened may be summarized
thus:
The last half of 1913 saw a general
drought in the United States and
severe money stringency in Europe.
AS result, in the first eight months
of 1914 foreign nations diminished
their purchases from us by the enor-
NOUS sum of $2O4, 100000 during Pc
riod in which, though we reduced our
importations of manufactures by $4,-
100000, we increased our purchases
of food by $S2,0O0,0O0 and of raw ma
terials for our factories by $4,000, 600.
During the period we bought less du-
table goods of all kinds and less du-
table manufactures than we did dur
ing the corresponding period OF the
year before.
These are the facts. They may be
verified by anyone who cares enough
about the matter to spend 80 minutes
at any library over the Monthly Sum-
mary of Foreign Commerce for Aug
ust last, page SO, pencil in hand and
pad on knee. 1t is striking proof OF
the low state at once of Republican
political morals and the Republican
political ammunition chest that sucn
lodging and twisting should be resort
ed to in so plain matter.-St. Louis
Republic.

More Evidences of Prosperity.

During the last few days 20 Lead
ing stocks on the New York market
made an average gain of $3.l4 per
share.
The Bethlehem Steel corporation
annual report, just issued, shows that
the company earned 371s per cent
on It's preferred stock during 1914.
The earnings would permit the pay
ment of the full dividend allowed the
preferred stock, and still leave more
than 80 per cent to be distributed to
holders of common stock. Instead OF
making this use of the funds, how
ever, the company is enlarging It's
plant out Of earnings-a sure sign or
still greater business ahead.
If any such record had been made
during Republican administration,
under present world conditions, the
whole land would have rung with
"peans of prosperity by the tariff
grafters' chorus. 1t is too much to ex-
pect those singers to yodel for any
but their own side, but, at least, they
should have the decency to stop
calamity bowling in the face OF sucf
multiplied proofs of good times.

of the largest number Of farmers is
the creamery. This furnishes a con-
slant demand for cream, whether in
large or small quantities. There are
three ways of getting cream to the
creamery or shipping point:
. 1. Each farmer may haul his own
cream.
2. Farmers in a community may
take turns in hauling their cream.
3. A man may be employed to haul
all the cream regularly and each farm
er may pay for this service according
to the amount Of cream he sells.
The third method is on the same
principle as the rural free delivery of
mail matter Under this system the
hauler at regular intervals comes to
the farmers door, gets the cream, and
takes it to the creamery or shipping
point. The cream is weighed, sam
pied, and poured into carrying can
in the wagon The samples and rec
ords of weights are sent to the cream
cry. Routes may be established close
to the creamery, and the cream deliv-
cred direct, or they may be estab-
Iished at distant points and the cream
delivered to a central station for ship
ping to the creamery. Subroutes may
radiate from points on the main route
and thus cream can be collected from
a wide area.
In communities in which interest in
selling cream is just being aroused
and where there is not. cream enough
produced to pay for having it collected
each day, the cream can be kept from
day to day and collected twice week
in winter and three times in summeS
Where this is practiced the farmersN
must use ice to keep the cream as cold
as possible, or place the cans in spring
or we'll water. Unless extra care is
taken to produce the cream in the
most cleanly manner, and unless it IS

How Business Is Looking Up.

Exports of breadstuffs from this
country from July 1, 1914, to March L
1915, amounted to $357,091, S23-more
than three times as much as was ex.
ported during the corresponding pc.
Rod a year earlier.
The business of the railroads IS in.
creasing, every shipyard on the Allan
tic coast is working full time or over
time, wheat prices are holding a high
level. stocks of all sorts are climb
ing back to the place they maintained
before the war broke.
The net result of all these factors
and scores of unmentioned ones-is
bound to be prosperity, in spite OF
war and In spite of the sullen opposi-
ton of interests" which hope to get
back their old tariff graft by the helr
of hard times.

kept thoroughly cold at all times, this
method is not advisable.
The shipping of cream compels the
farmer to have separator. The cost
of the separator is often discouraging
10 the man 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 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 near one another, one sepa-
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, it
will bring more money in the form or
cream than if the milk were churned
and the butter sold. Carrying the
milk to the separator is also less trou-
BILE than making the butter.
In sections where cream can be mar
keted, routes operated in some sucn
way as described are to be commend
ed, provided the cream is produced
and handled properly, as they enable
the farmer to procure steady cash
income from his cows by providing .

Work Of Commissions.

The Democrats came into power In
1918 with a definite program along
modern lines and most of the con-
structives reform measures have been
enacted into law The federal trade
has wide powers, but
should be very careful not to overstep
the bounds of justice or fairness. It
is intended to help and not harass or
bait the corporations.
AS to the interstate commerce COM
mission, it has been Of decided bene-
flt to the public ever since It came
into existence some years ago.

Strawberry plants. like fruit trees,

with new varieties let it be on small

not the best for home use. Some OF
