These seed cannot be purchased on the planta- tions where they are raised, for $3.25 per bushel at the present time, because of the demand, and it would be ad- visable for growers to place their or ders for these seed with MT.

PRICES OF DAIRY PRODUCTS

Advance in Cost Of Feed-lag
Was Felt in 1917.

prepared by the United States Depart.
meht Of Agriculture.)
Higher prices of the crops eaten by
live stock should find their way into
higher prices for live stock products
Eventually they may, but there is
what the bureau of crop estimates Of
the United States department of agri.
culture calls "lag." Product prices
do not fully respond at once to ad.
vance in feed prices. Such was the
situation of farmers with regard to
the prices Of dairy products and other
animal products from 1915 to 1913
and the lag was heavily felt by farm.
ers in 1917.
From 1915 to 1916 crop prices in.
creased Al per cent, and from 1915 to
1918 about 12O per cent. During the
same time the total value Of animal
products on the farm did not CORE
spondingly gain, although a tendency
to overtake the lag appeared in 1918
In the meantime live stock has in
creased in number and price, and enor-
mously in total value, although not
enough to hold its place in the process
sion, and it is interesting to compare
the total value Of live stock prod
ucts with the total value Of live stock
itself year by year during the war. In
each Of the three years, 1913-1915, the
aggregate value Of live stock products
was 65 per cent Of the aggregate value
of live stock. The ratio went up to
68 per cent in 1915, made great ad-
vance to 78 per cent in 1917, and "a
per cent in 1913. Live stock value,
compounded of increasing number and
increasing price, Jagged behind the ad-
vancing value Of live stock products.
That there should have been a lag
in the advance of live stock value,
compared with the advance in the
value of live stock products, is in ac-

TO AVOID NOTIFIED BUTTER
Can Be Prevented by Application
Of Proper Methods.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Notified butter is frequently found
on the market at this time Of the
year, and, even though it may be Of
very good flavor, it is strongly dis
eliminated against by the purchaser.
AS this defect is one Of workmanship,
it can be overcome by the application
Of proper methods on the part Of the
buttermaker.
Notifies are caused primarily by an
uneven distribution of salt in the but
ter. This may be produced by insult
ficient working Of the butter or by
churning, washing, and working it at
q very low temperature, or by washing
or working it at temperature several
degrees higher or lower than the
churning temperature.
When the quantity Of butter made In
one churning is much less than usual.
it is necessary to work it greater
number Of revolutions of the churn
than usual in order toSproduce the
same results on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures Of
churning, washing, and working should
be avoided, because they produce SO
firm a butter that it Is only with
great difficulty that the salt can be
worked uniformly into Eh tenn
peratures Of churning, tg, and
working must also be a, Ito pre-.
vent an abnormal loss In the
buttermilk and also the >king Of q
greasy, leaky butter. IN
Great variations in Temperature
during the manufacturing process
should always be avoided. Under nor.
NAL conditions the temperature Of the
wash water should be the same as,
or within 2 degrees Of, that Of the
buttermilk.

fow things which It il well TO reniein-

When Germany complains that some

we'll to remember that she took the

When Germany complains that II

remembered that Poland has lived
under foreign rule for centuries. Ger
