MONTROSE CREAMERY is
A PROSPEROUS CONCERN

In . recent story about the dairy
business Of Montrose county appears
the following item about the Mont
rose Creamery, with which SO many
of our citizens have been doing busi-
ness, both in the way of shipping
cream and buying back the well known
"Gold Band Butter"
Makes l15,O00 Pounds
"Montrose county is fortunate in
being the center of the dairy industry
with an institution, the Montrose
Creamery, as well equipped as any in
the country for the manufacturing Of
butter. The creamery pays out to
farmers over $1,000 a month for
cream or $4,000 a year. This cream
cry produces 115,000 pounds of butter
in the course of year.
Probably three-fifths of the butter
produced in the creamery is marketed
outside the county, SO that this fact
brings in considerable money. The
creamery makes 1000 gallons of ice
cream a year and sells large quanti-
1ty of buttermilk as well.
"Since the creamery moved to its
new location up town the sale of but
termilk has become an important item

BOARDING cows EXPENSIVE
LUXURY FOR FARMERS
Cow Not Paying Her Way Should Be
Quickly Sold-"Spot" Her By Keep
inE Records.

"a dairy COW that is not paying for
her feed is truly a Stacker. and should
be eliminated from the herd at once. -
says w. E. Spangler Of the Colorado
Agricultural College.
~Do you have any such cows in your
herd? Do you keep a record Of the
number of pounds of butter fat pro-
duced by each COW. II You dc, o,undoubt-
edIy the slackers have already been
eliminated. If you are one Of those
who do not keep records and tests Of
each individual animal, how do you
know which cows are mere boarders
and which cows are paying for their
feed? Many times the COW giving
the smallest amount of milk will aver
age higher in butter fat than the COW
giving the larger amount Of milk. At
the present price for feeding stuffs il
is serious proposition to be keeping
cows that are mere boarders.
keep accurate records of each in
dividual COW; know for yourself which
cows are paying for what they eat and
which are not If a record is on hand
when you offer your good stock fol
sale it will add greatly to the price
you will receive"

TO PAY FOR CATTLE KILLED
BECAUSE OF TUBERCULOSIS
oNernment Appropriations Provide
For Payment OF One-1hird Each BY
Federal Authorities and State.

Tube rculosis eradication has never
made much progress for the simple
reason that livestock Own"rs have OBJ
jectcd TO standing all of the loss that
resulted from condemnation and
slaughter Of tubercUlar animals, says
Geo. II. Glover Of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College.
The government has now come 10
the rescue by providing for an indem-
nifty for tubcrcular animals Killed and
il is expected that this will remove
much of the opposition to disease era
dIcatIon work.
The 1919 agricultural appropria-
ton bill just passed by congress pro-
yides that where cattle have been
slaughtered because of tuberculosis,
the depart ment If agriculture will pay
cns-thTG of the difference bets cen
the appraised value # the cattle aad
the silvsge value Of the slaughtered
Al mails, providing the state Is Co
cpc. ting in the wo-t and pays IN
Q ,ual amount.

rs IS a new G.part4I0 on the
part Of the federal .,ovS rnmcnt acd it
J. expected TO meet with the hai-Ity
approval of live stock owners general
ly. 1t certainly should give impetus
to tuberculosis control and eradica-
ton. There is no money in keeping a
tubcrcular herd, TO say nothing of
the danger Of transmitting the disease
to the human. It Is estimated that
about lJ per cent Of purc-brcd cattle
in this country are tubercular and that
the annual loss in the United States
because of this disease in cattle, hogs
and sheep is fully S40.000,O00."

DELTA COUNTY FEARS HAY
QUARANTINE NEXT YEAR

Delta County Agricultural Agent
Certain parties IN the las: few
months for reasons best understood by
themselves, have spread the word that
the whole of Delta county has been
quarantined against the shipment of
hay These stories are still going
around. The truth of the matter may
be summed up as follows:
The State of Colorado has quar.n-
tined the valley of the North Fork as
far west as Hotchkiss. The rest of
the county has not been quarantined
except by few states to which no
hay is shipped from here and whose
action does not affect our market.
Some time in the near future We
may expect quarantine against the Co.
to be passed by all alfalfa growing
states, which would particularly shut
off all shipping markets for hay. Such
measures will not affect the crop on
hand now, but in all probability will
be in effect next year. This means
that all hay raised in Delta county will
have to be fed here, with the res.'t
that the farmer who has not enough
stock to which to feed his hay, may
have to take a price for his extra feed
considerably below market price.
Warning! Prepare now. II will be
decidedly inadvisable to pillow up large
quantities of alfalfa land. We need
more stock, can handle more stock and
will be benefited accordingly to the
proportion of the hay raised which
the farmer feeds to his own stock. A
small bunch of cattle or sheep soon
grows into respectable bank account
Gunnison news-champion., 1918-11-29
BY THEIR STACKS SHALL
YE KNOW THEM
Character of Farmer is Shown BY
The Way He Stacks His Hay.

Last summer, during some 1900
miles Of cross-country travel by auto
mobile thru Wisconsin, Illinois, lndi-
ana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado, !
had opportunity to note the ways in
which different farmers stacked their
hay" says B. F. Coen, Of the Colorado
Agricultural College.
"On some farms the stacks looked
as if they had been thrown together
without any regard for turning of
the rain, without any regard for pro-
lection against wind, without any re-
gard for appearance. Just anybody
can stack hay seemed to be the idea.
"Cn many of the stacks the top
was so nearly level that the rain sure
" would nun in and spoil much of the
hay. l saw dozens and dozens OF
stacks in all degrees of badness, from
stacks halfway good to stacks that
looked as though they had been made
with blow stackers.
Somehow | wanted to class the
farmers according to their haystacks
Often l noticed poor fences, pool
houses, poor barns and lily kept fields
on the same farms where the hay
stacks were so poorly constructed.
at was delight to see other farm:
and other stack yards. The mead
ows, the homes, the barns. and fence:
were all in fine condition. And tht
I hay stacks, 1t was a real pleasure t.
/ cox at them. They had been made
By men who knew how, by men whit
F.! took pride in their work. The ha!

good, progressive, prosperous farm
