With the working complete, the op-

bucket of cold water, grasps it with
both hands and presses it repeatedly
on the mass Of butter until it is packed
full The butter at the bottom of the

Good Statesmen.

The efficient salesman is a man who
can get a job-probably better one
from a financial standpoint than you
can give him. The production man,
with his tendency to stricter discipline
and his idea of fixity of wages, rare

mental and emotional sales type. The
salesman demands n looser rein than
the toolmaker, the laborer and the Of
fee clerk. The salesman gets it, be-
cause he can so where he can have it.

tBy JoHN W. LLoYD. Illinois

-
Extravagant claims are sometimes
made regarding the influence of MI
trate of soda upon the yield and earli-
ness of certain vegetable crops, par
tlcularly those of which a vegetative
part constitutes the edible product.
The claims are especially emphatic in
reference to early-planted crops, since
much of their growth must be made
&c a time when conditions in the soil
IRE not favorable for rapid nitritica-
ton; and the supplying Of nitrogen in
Il readily available form at such a
time would seem to promise good re-
sllts. In view Of these considerations
was thought best to make some tests
With this material in the production

weeks. A third plat was left untreat-

In the light Of the data secured in
connection with the nitrate of soda ex-

are warranted:

COST CONSIDERED IN BUYING
Three Important Factors in Purchasing
Machinery or Putting UP
Farm Building.

The farmer should understand when
buying machinery or putting up build
ings that price is what you pay for a
thing. You pay it but once.
Cost is what you have paid for a
thing when you are done with it. 1t
includes the original price, running ex-
penseS, repairs, depreciation, losses of
time and service.
Value is what you get out of a thing
while you have it. 1t is measured-by
the economy of operation, freedom
from repairs and trouble and length of
life.

butter. 1t can be obtained from firms
handling dairy supplies. The ordinary
waxed paper commonly used for wrap
4 ping lunches should not be used for
wrapping butter, as it tears easily and
! sticks to the butter.
! The placing Of the wrapped print
\ of butter in pasteboard boxes or car
/ tons protects the butter from finger
prints, dust, and dirt. Parafiined car
tons are preferable because they do
not absorb water and because they
form a stronger and tighter package.
/ The trademark or butter-maker's
name on the carton serves as an adj
vertisement. Cartons bearing any de-
sired design or printing can be OBJ
tanned at small cost from firms ham
ding dairy supplies.
The appearance of the package of
butter determines its selling price to
Il considerable extent, and every effort
should be made to have it as neat, at
tractive, and convenient to handle as
possible. The square print neatly
wrapped shows at a glance its adyan-
tages over The semiround print which is
exposed to flies, dust, and other con-
Eliminating things. Even If the semi
round print is wrapped in parchment
paper it is impossible for 1t to make

Washing the churn.
In washing the churn, it should first
be rinsed with lukewarm or cold wa
ter and then scrubbed with a fiber
brush, cleansing powder, and hot wa
ter, then scalded and set in a clean,
sunny place to drain and dry. In
washing the churning utensils a fiber
brush is much more effective than the
ordinary dlshrag. The brushes can be
obtained at small cost from hardware
stores or from dealers in dairy sup
plies. Some washing powder such as
sal soda, Is much better for cleansing
churns than soaps or soap powders.

seed can be obtained at the time and
place where seed is wanted, but in ev-
cry instance the purchaser should
know whether he is getting Turkestan
seed or not.
Turkestan seed can be distinguished
from other alfalfa seed by the pres
ence of certain characteristic weed
seeds. These seeds are usually not
numerous, but no Importation of com
mercial Turkestan seed has been ex-
amined by the seed laboratory of the
department in which they were not
present. On account of these charac-
teristic weed seeds not being plentiful,
it is always necessary, in determining
the origin Of the seed, to examine
bulk OF seed, and not depend on the
examination of small trade sample.
Anyone wishing to have alfalfa seed
examined, to determine its possible
Turkestan origin, should send not less
than one-half pound of seed to the
seed laboratory, bureau OF plant in
dustry, department of agriculture,
