BUTTER PRODUCED ON FARMS
cording to Investigation Made
in Wisconsin.

An investigation made in Wisconsin
shows that the amount of butter pro-
duced in the farm dairy is continually
decreasing and what is produced is
generally sold direct to the consumer.
The market butter is made In the S35
creameries of the state, 45 per cent Of
which are owned comparatively by the
farmers. An important feature is that
the cooperative creameries are the
most successful. They pay the farmer
more for his butter fat, pay the but
termaker higher wages, and sell the
product for a higher price
1t costs 1.66 cents per round of but
terfat to get the cream TO the cream
cry and 233 cents to make a pound of
butter. The shipping charges vary
from OPS to 1.25 cents per pound, de-
pending upon the distance from the
market. The investigation brought out
the interesting fact that for every
pound of butter sold to the consumer
the farmer received two-thirds Of the
money and the retailer one-tenth.

CLEAN GRAIN BINS ANNUALLY
Most of the Injury Done by Insects
Can Be Prevented-Spray With
Kerosene Emulsion.

By cleaning bins carefully each year
before new crop is placed in them,
most of the injury due to stored-grain
insects can be prevented. A million
dollars more might be saved annually
in Ohio if these pests were destroyed.
After the grain bins are swept OUT
they should be sprayed thoroughly
with 10 per cent kerosene emulsion.
This destroys the eggs and insects that
otherwise would infest the new crop.
The bins will be ready for the new
grain within a week after treatment.
About 2S4,OOO,000 bushels of corn,
oats and wheat were produced in Ohio
in 1916, according to the year book of
the United States department Of agri-
culture. A conservative estimate made
by entomologists of the Ohio agricul-
tural experiment station is one-half Of
l per cent injured. This makes the
annual damage amount to approx
mately a million dollars for this state
alone from insect depredations in
stored grain.
Several beetles, weevils and moths
infest cereals and other stored prod
ucts. Many of these insects are also
accompanied by mites.

RENEW THIN PASTURE SPOTS
Little Seed Scattered over Weak
Places Every Spring and Then
Narrowed Will Aid Greatly.

There are weak spots IL almost all
pasture fields which do well when re-
seeded. A little seed Scattered every
spring over these thin spots and har-
rowed in with the harrow teeth set at
a slant of about 40 degrees, will help
these spots greatly.
A top dressing of fine stable manure
has a stimulating effect on such re-
tarded grasses. 1t is unreasonable to
think that pasture land will produce
profitable pasturage from year to year
without anything to rejuvenate it.
Pasture land needs renewing as well
as other farm land.

SALT is OFTEN OVERLOOKED
All Animals That Consume Large
Quantities of Vegetable Matter
Require Some Salt.

An important item that is often over
looked in the management Of dairy
cows is providing them with plenty of
salt All animals that consume large
quantities of vegetable food require
salt. Unless cows receive plenty of
salt they viii cease to thrive, and will
therefore decrease in milk flow. Some
dairymen mix the salt with the feed,
but the better plan is TO keep it in a
convenient place where the cows may
have ready access to it when they SO
desire.

snow shoes, are added to the herd
every winter. The business may be
profitable for the peasant but it is any
thing but pleasant for the elk. When
it comes time for dehorning the poor
beast is thrown and held down while
peasant hacks away at his antlers
with a saw, usually a dull one. The
operation may take half an hour, and
all this time the animal shrieks in
agony. And the peasants say it does
not hurt, that he merely cries from
fright!
East may be East, and West, West,
"and never the twain shall meet" az
Kipling says; but here certainly North
and South meet. For while elk flourish
in this land of contradictions and rein
deer as well, yet one of the popular
beasts Of burden IS the camel-Lapland
and Arabia. The camel is a most salts
factory animal for packing goods over
the trail in winter. He costs only $50,
will carry 600-pound load faster than
a man can walk, and will make a four
days trip with no food whatever pro-
vided only he be given from time to
time a little weak tea. Tea might be
expected to be popular along the bOr-
der between the Russian and Chinese
empires, but for camels-well, at least,
it seems odd.
Because the national ownership Of
the land was in dispute, some gold
bearing gravel deposits, the existence
of which was known, have never been
worked. Now that the Russians have
definite possession, these prospective
/ gold mines are attracting people into
the country and when transportation
facilities are improved it will become

APPLY MANURE TO PASTURES

Where Needed.

There is always a place for the sta
BILE and lot manure on the farm. The
pastures need it as well as the crops,
and If it is not convenient to haul it
out to the fields for crop, broadcast
it over the pasture. The pastures, to
be at their best, need fertilizers as
well as crops.
Farmers who have but a small pas

SAVE LATE VEGETABLES

A cool, well-ventilated cellar
under the dwelling offers good
conditions for the storage of
late vegetables. In cellars that
are too warm on account of con-
tanning a furnace for heating the
dwelling, a room may be par
titioned off either in one corner
or at one end of the cellar,
where the temperature may be
controlled by means of outside
windows.
Barrels, crates, boxes or bins,
may be used as containers for
the various vegetables, but NOV
able containers are preferable
to built-in bins, as it is possible
to remove them for cleaning. 1t
is advisable to construct shelves
or q Stat floor to keep the crates,
boxes, baskets, and other con-
tainers off the ground. This is
highly desirable to insure free
circulation of air and to prevent
the containers from harboring
mice, rats and vermin. Shelves
for canned goods along one side
of the room need not be more
than 6 inches wide.
