Marketing butter and cream.

Most of the surplus butter from the
farm cow in the South is exchanged for
groceries at the country store. On ac-
count 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 up in attractive packages
may be obtained without cost by ap
plying to the Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C.
Purchasers of butter like to buy from
persons who can furnish it the year
round Usually the maket for farm
butter is oversupplied during the sum-
mer season. This is because cows gen.
orally 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 freshen in the
fall; this would tend to equalize the
supply of butter throughout the year
In many cases no great effort is made
to find a good market for the farm but
ter. Too often nearby grocery stores
are regarded as the only market possi-
bility. Beading houses, women's clubs,
hotels and restaurants, and private
families, not only in the home towns
but in surrounding towns, should be
canvassed and a sample of the butter
exhibited. In this way good market
for farm butter may be secured if the
butter is of good quality and can be
supplied regularly.
The frequency of delivery will de-
pend upon the demand Of the trade.
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 purchasers
they should investigate the opportuni-
ties offered by the Parcel Post Service.

BULLETIN ON THE HOG


It is common knowledge that the
swine industry Of Maryland is and has
been for a number Of years at very
low ebb in so far as the production Of
pork is concerned. Instead of raising
on our farms enough hogs to supply
the citizens of our towns and cities.
we are actually importing every year
from sister States vast quantities OF
pork and pork products to meet their
demands. Yet in the face Of this evi
dence practically every hog breeder
within our borders will tell you that
for the money invested there is nc
other animal on the farm which
will yield SO large profit. If
he merits this reputation, why is it
that our farmers pay so little at.
tention to him? To answer the ques-
tion Is difficult, but it is quite prob.
able that the extension and spread of
hog cholera and diseases generally are
largely responsible for existing condi-
Gons Then again 1t is obvious that
there are any number of farmers who
actually do not realize the monetary
possibilities of swine production, for
even in localities where hog cholera
has not been at all prevalent, there are
many farmers that produce barely

Economy Is one word that the aver
age poultry keeper hasn't had much
use for. l am glad, however, to note
that he is beginning to have more use
for 1t. One Of the most fragrant vio-
lations of economy has been in house
construction. Elaborate and expensive
buildings have been built for housing
poultry and unnecessary capital tied
up. Expensive feeds have been used
when much more simple ones would
be just as efficacious. Plants have
been so planned and laid out that a
lot of extra labor has been expended
in caring for the birds.
Nor has the violation of economical
principles been all on the side of un-
necessary expenditure. Houses have
been too cheaply and ill-constructed or
too many birds placed in them. Too
simple feeds have often been used. A
maintenance ration fed to flock that
should be laying is very poor econ
omy. Many farmers feed their hens
all winter and get no returns from
them, when by simply adding perhaps
a little protein feed they would turn
a loss into a profit. l often hear this
statement from persons whose hens are
idle. Il can't afford to buy meat
SCRAPS" but the great question is:
How can they afford not to buy

IMPROVEMENT OF SCHOOL
GROUNDS is VERY
DESIRABLE.
B. W. AUSPON.

B. W. AUSPON.
Maryland Agricultural College.
Many of our rural schoolhouses are
so situated that they wholly lack pro
lection from inclement weather. Con
sequently, the teacher and pupils are
often subjected to trying conditions in
severe weather. When it is almost i'm
possible to keep the building warm
Not only are the winds of winter try
ing, but those of spring are equally so.
while the intense rays of the summer
sun often have similar effect. By the
judicious planting of trees and shrubs
marked changes can be secured. The
severe winds will be checked from
striking the building, thus mitigating
the temperature to some extent. In
spring the trees will give that refresh
ing shade so welcome at that season
of the year.
In addition to serving as a protec-
ton and adding beauty to the school
grounds, such planting proves of great
educational value. By planting and
caring for trees the children are given
some knowledge Of tree culture, which
will prove useful in later years. The
writer will gladly cooperate with To-
cal teachers in planning school
grounds and selecting trees ana
shrubs
