CREAM-GRADING HAS
BECOME NECESSARY
Better Prices Stimulate Farmer
in Obtaining Improved Breed
of Dairy Cattle.

(By L. q. RINKLE, Missouri College of
Agriculture)
The American farmer who sells
cream should insist that the creamery
grade his cream. This will tend to Gull
out the poor quality of cream and
make possible a better grade Of but
ter. Give the creamery a good grade
Of cream and they can make a good
grade Of butter. Good butter sells
for a high price. therefore top prices
can be paid for the cream. Better
cream prices stimulate the farmer in
obtaining better dairy cattle and in
crease the desire for a more careful
study Of economical milk production.
The close grading Of cream has be-
come absolutely necessary. Within
the last few years creamery butter Of
the. United States has been meeting
with greater competition from foreign
butter. Butter from Siberia, Aus
tralia, Denmark and South America
has come to our shores by the ship
load and sold in Our large markets
alongside American made butter. It
has poured into the United States on
both the eastern and western coasts.
Imported butter does not reach our
markets in as fresh condition as our
avn butter, consequently the majority
Of 1t sells as second grade. In many
cases 1t leaves the point of production
as hrst-class article, but is so long
In transit that it deteriorates and ar
rives As second-grade butter. Unfor-
tunately the greater part of American
made butter is also second grade. This
Is not because 1t cannot reach the mar
ket at once, but because 1t is made
from a poor quality Of cream. The
American farmer is not producing as
good quality Of cream as his foreign
brother.
First-grade butter is still in big de-
mand in this country and the pro-
iucers of good butter are realizing a
nice margin in price over the producers
Of second-grade butter. Because of
foreign competition with our second
grade butter the difference in price be-
tween first grade and second grade is
wide. Foreign competition has not
materially increased the supply of
arst grades.
Because of our poor markets for
second-grade butter the farmers in
every community should compel their
creamery to grade the cream, and
should do all in their power to see
that every farmer produces only first
grade cream. Then and only then
will that creamery be able to pay top
prioas for cream.

Monoeionius Itself Again.

A monoclOnius, only a few mIllion
years old. but scrambled apart like
Humpty-Dumpty. has been put togeth-
err again by Barnum Brown and
mounted in the American Museum Of
Natural History. Mr.. Brown found
his three-horned dirfosaur. with its i've
foot skull and relatively small brain.
entombed In the rocks Of Alberta, Can.
ada, where 1t once had roamed through
tropical glades. Hardly a piece was
missing OF the II feet from tip Of tail
to nose. But the pieces had to be
sorted. This cretaceous, herb-eating
animal was rich in toes and teeth. In
the mouth, which was guarded by a
horny sheath, nestled 90 teeth, 30 in
each jaw and double rooted. Five toes
graced each Of the front and hind feet.
Many Of these toes were adorned by
hoofs. The specimen is considered Q
rare find.

farmer. Infection In navel i'll gains
entrance to the cord before the latter

after birth. From the navel the infec-

latter may appear in from a few days
to a month after the navel Is infected.
The chances of recovery are best when
the symptoms do not appear until the
foal Is several weeks old. The NOR
tality is about 80 per cent.
Scours Is a common trouble that
often proves fatal in young and weak
colts. There are several possible
causes Of this condition, az digestive
troubles Of the mother, an overabun-
dant secretion Of milk, and allowing
the colt to sucklc the mare while she
is warm. The treatment for this con-
sists Of giving a purgative, e. g., one
to two ounces of castor oil, to remove
the irritating matter. It is advisable
also to give an antiseptic and sooth-
ing agent. A teaspoonful Of q mix
ture Of one part Of salol to two parts
Of bismuth subnitrate with half an
ounce of Drowned -four will serve this
purpose. The white of an egg is also
good. Treatment to be successful
must be started early while the colt
is yet strong.

How to Catch Quail.

This office has just received
several bulletins bearing on the
protection of game. Among the
interesting features of the bulle-
tins are a number of illustrations
of how quail may be safely trap
ped in nets and kept in confne-
ment while there is danger of
their perishing during severe
weather. Any of our readers
may examine these bulletins at
our office, or, a postal card d.
rected to the Board of Game Com
mission, Harrisburg. Pa, will
bring you the little books free.
1t is difficult to keep quail when
trapped, as they beat themselves
to death against sides of coop
when frightened. But this can
be avoided, as shown by illustra-
tions.

For Early Vegetables.

Many of our wide awake boys
and girls would like to have a
mess of early vegetables for two
weeks ahead of their neighbors
if they knew how. Some things
like corn, for instance, will not
stand transp lanting when start
ed in boxes in the house. But
corn and some other things may
be successfully handled in the
following manner: Take old tin
cans and melt the tops and bot
toms off, and at the same time,
melt the seam up the side of the
cans. Slip the bottom on again
but without solder, and tie a
string around the can to hold it
in shape. Three weeks before
time to plant sweet corn, plant
four grains of seed in each tin,
and when they come up, (if all
come up) cut away the smallest
stalk, leaving three good healthy
plants. When wanted to set out
in the garden, dig holes as deep
as the cans, carry the cans to the
holes, hold them near the bot
tom of the holes, slip off the bot
toms, place the cans in the holes
and cut the string, and pack soil
around them. The can will then
spring loose, and it can be gent
ly lifted up without in the least
disturbing the roots, and the
corn will continue to grow. Try
tit is an easy way to fool"
corn, pumpkins and other plants.

be just as good as those you paid

difference is, that you do not
