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 tbs
creamery or shipping point:
1. Each farmer may haul his own
cream.
2. Farmers in a community may
take turns in hauling their cream.
8. A man may be employed to haul
all the cream regularly and each farm
err 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 or
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 a carrying can
in the wagon. The samples and rec
ords of weights are sent to the cream
ery. Routes may be established close
to the creamery, and the cream deliv-
cred direct, or they may be estab-
lished 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
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 summer.
Where this is practiced the farmers
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 clearly manner, and unless it Is

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.
warm whole milk through a 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 a
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, if
a sample of cream from can con-
tanning 40 pounds is found to test %
per cent, the pounds of butterfat are
found by multiplying 40 by OPS,
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 dependable supply delivered
at regular intervals. This makes it
necessary for farmers who supply
such markets to have good transporta-
ton facilities.

Strawberry plants. like fruit trees,

to stand shipping, but cannot be ex-

BY JOHN J. McGRAW.

Superstition seeps through any
ball club, but it is encouraged more
by Stallings in Boston than among
any other group of big league play
ers. George Stalings is supersti-
tious himself and proud of it. Be-
fore the Cubs came to Boston for
the first series of the season, Stall
ings said in the club house one day:
Chicago is the one club we've got
to beat. The Cubs will give US a
battle"
The. Cubs did, although I can't
see the team myself. Bresnahan
took four straight games from the
worlds champions, which result
looked very good to me. 1t made
the chances of my club appear bet
ter. The Giants gave Chicago bat
tie and won the series from the
Cubs when at the Polo Grounds. AS
have said in a previous article,
the infield, with Zimmerman mis-
placed at second base, and Fisher
and Phelan working at short and
third, covers little ground. Safer is
a star, one of the best first basemen
in the league.
I think Bresnahan made mistake
when he shifted Zimmerman from
third base to second. "Zim" used to
be a second baseman when he first
broke in, but he has shown the
greatest value of his career at third,
and it looks to me like the logical
location for him.
At one time, l thought I would
like to have Zimmerman on my
team, but now / have a very good
reason, which l do not care to state
at present, why l would not care to
carry him with my club at any time.
Zimmerman is a good, natural hit
ter, but that about lets him out. I
am frank to say l feared the Chi
cago club far more before l saw it
play at the Polo Grounds than l
do now.
Sometimes the shifting OF a man from
one position to another makes him and
again 1t spoils him. Shafer came to the
Giants shortstop. and. for time.
Of the best ever developed. He could
cover all sorts OF ground. Then he sud
denly became fiatfooted and could not
seem to get started after the ball I
don't know how to account for 1t. since
he was just as fast running the bases.
