BUTTER ALWAYS IN DEMAND
No Reason Why Farmer Should Not
Compete With Creameries-Some
Business Ability Needed.

There IL plenty Of room today for
the private dairyman who wants to
market his cream in the form Of but
ter. Because the creameries have
nearly monopolized the retail city
trade is no reason why butter made
on the farm should not compete sue
cessfully with the best Of the cream
cry butter. This class Of butter,
which is made from but one herd OF
well.bred cows and from separated
sweet milk, should form one OF the
most delicious articles Of food, and
can always command fancy prices
when it reaches the right people. It
requires some business ability to work
up a select trade for any home prod
uct, yet it is not at all difficult to
create demand for certain brand
of butter among those who know q
good article when they see or taste it,
and are willing to pay little extra
for what suits them.

DAIRY
RATION FOR DAIRY cows
High Protein Concentrates Other Than
Corn Must Supplement Rough
aqe-Oats Are Favored.

With fodder alone as roughage cows
must have some high protein concen-
trates and they must be other than
corn products. IL the oats are worth
less than middlings, it will be well
to make them part Of the ration.
Rye is as harmless as any other grain
to a pregnant animal when not affect
ed with ergot. If it Is worth no more
per pound than corn it may we'll be
used in part. Cottonseed meal at the
present time is much cheaper source
Of protein than linseed meal, and with
oats and rye or wheat product in the
ration also it may be used to supply
the deficit of protein. However, If any
COWS appear to need more laxative
ration, better substitute linseed, at
least in part, for the cottonseed meal.
It matters little to the cow whether
the corn Is shelled before being
ground, or even whether it is ground,
so long as the cobs are soft enough
to enable her to eat them readily.
But to compound ration from the
list submitted: Using the corn in the
form of meal and grinding both oats
and rye, use one part by weight Of
each of these and two Of cottonseed
meal.

CLEANING UP POULTRY HOUSE
vermin Cannot Be Eradicated Until
Building is Thoroughly Overhau'eo
and Then WhiteWashed.

Houseclean the henhouse so as TO
yet rid of mites. Clean up the dirty
aoor. Take out the roosts and scrape
them. and clean out the dirty nests.
If they are too badly infested, burn
them up and make rome new ones.
Brush down the cobwebs from the cor
ners. Then take spray pump and
spray the whole inside Of the poultry
house, getting into all the cracks and
corners with q mixture OF one part
crude carbolic acid to ten OF kerosene.
This kills any of the mites which may
have fed to the cracks and crevices
fer safety. After this is dry, put on
the whitewash. It may be put on with
TIE same spray pump. but 1t sticks
better and lasts longer II 1t Is put on
with a brush. Lice end mites can't
stand whitewash. After the white
wash has thoroughly dried. refit the
house with clean roosts and nests, and
nut SOM clean straw on the floor. II
you wish, you can dust the hens on
with lice powder before admitting
them TO the house. Repeat busting
again Ii about q week.

His unluckx DAYS.

Seated in a row on the porch Of an
old-country inn, with their chairs
tipped back, some old cronies were go

had given what they considered their
unlucky days, quiet old chap at one
end spoke up:
"Aall tell We ma unlucky days. Aa's

VALUABLE CROP FOR SOUTH
cowpeas, Called "the Poor Mans
Clover" Can Be Grown on A.
most Any Kind Of Soil.

Cowpeas can be grown as far north
as Dent corn can be grown and on
land 80 poor that clover would not
catch at all. They are called the
poor mans clover" because you can
get such quick results. A crop of COW
peas can be grown in three. months
and it will be fully equal to two
years crop of clover.
You can SOW the peas any time
from May to August and can get q
good big crop following an early crop
taker off in June or July.
Plowed under after the first frost
they will leave tho ground in elegant
shape for a crop next rear. The seed
costs about $3.50 per bushel and
should b. drilled IN at the rate Of one
half bushel per acre.

(By r. W. KAZMEIER. Texas Agricul-
tural College.)
In preparing a balanced ration. the
palatability OF the various ingredi-
ents should be considered. In addition
to the various constituents which
foods carry, they possess a certain
medical quality, either liked or
disliked by the fowls, and either bene-
fetal or harmful to their well-being.
Corn possesses a sweet flavor liked
by all fowls, yet should be fed in a
limited amount to laying and grow
ing stock because 1t is too fattening.
The palatability Of ration should be
considered, because If the individual
does not like the ration 1t does not d.
gest to its best ability. Appetite plays
an important part in the feeding Of
animals as well as fowls.
That which fowls like best they gen.
orally digest best. In feeding fowls
give them their choice as much as
possible. An animals power Of Sc
lecting food is greater than is gen.
orally expected and should be taken
into consideration. Yet this power
of selection is sometimes 80 much in
f1uenced by the flavor of a certain
grain as to induce them to eat more
than is good for them. This, too.
should be taken into consideration.
It is advised to feed a variety of
foods for two reasons. 1t increases

Excellent Trio Of Rhode island Reds.

the palatability of ration, and 1t
gives the fowls q little chance to Sc
lect what agrees with them best.
Fowls forced to eat certain food day
after day get tired Of it after time,
refuse to eat quite as much, digest
less, and hence do not do as well.
Cooking some feeds decreases the
digestibility of the protein constitu'
ents. AS practice 1t is not advisable
to cook food for poultry: it does not
pay for the extra labor. The only ex-
ceptions would be one or two 'vege-
tables which have their feeding value
increased By cooking, like turnips and
potatoes.
1t is not advisable to feed an entire
ration. of either whole or ground
grains. 1t requires more energy to d.
gest whole grains than it does ground
grains and fowls cannot digest as
much whole grain in q day as they
can ground grain. The more they
can digest the faster the growth and
the better the egg production.
A properly balanced ration must
contain both whole, cracked and
ground grains. Either fed alone never
produce the best results. 1t is not
advisable to feed entirely on ground
grains because the crop and gizzard
are there for several purposes. One
of them is to grind up the whole
grains into smaller particles.

TO START SWEET POTATOES
Tubers Are Propagated From Sets or
Shoots Obtained by Planting in
a Hotbed.

Sweet potatoes are propagated from
sets of shoots which spring from the
tubers, when they are planted and
form the tips of the runners. The
sets are obtained by planting the pota-
toes in a hotbed. The roots should be
bedded five or six weeks before the
sets are wanted for planting out. The
sets are broken from the potatoes for
transplariting when they are three or
four inches high and others form in
their place. so that in all two to four
crops are obtained.

A trim and Interestingly practical
suit. meant to fill the needs Of the
schoolgirl, proclaims itself an Ameri-
can design made for an American
girl. Without furbelow of any de-
scription, it is made Of a cravenetted
wool fabric, firm as to weave and fair
ly light as to weight. The skirt Is
full and faring, but it achieves these
desirable traits without plaits Of any
kind, by means of Tapped seams and
shaped cores. It is finished with
three-inch hem and appears longer In
the picture than it need be. Shoe-top
length would mean additional style.
The smart coat is held in to the hg-
ure by q belt of the material, and has
a faring and pointed peplum. Ma

neatness and accuracy Of line, empha-

Three buttons at the top of the coat
continue a row begun by two on the
collar, and three smaller buttons. Of
the same kind, are placed on the back
of the sleeves near the hand.
The belt fastening is ingenious and
betrays that careful thought was given

ON one pound of dry mixture per lOo

else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
