MEDIUM SALTING FOR BUTTER
Creamery Men Would Profit by Avoid
ing Excessive Use of Salt and
Pack Tubs Carefully.

Butter that is too highly salted is
difficult to move in the ordinary trade
channels, and creamery men would do
well to guard against high sailing un-
r. less they have a special outlet which
calls for that kind, say specialists of
the bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates, United States Department Of
Agriculture, A gritty condition of the
salt in butter seriously Injuries its mar
ket value.
A number of butter receivers are ad-
vising shippers not to fill their butter
tubs too full During the summer ship
ments are often exposed to the heat
Of the sun at some point in transit,
and the butter at the top of the tub
becomes very soft and runs over the
edge of the tub when handled. Such
shipments are brought to receivers
stores in bad condition, often showing
a heavy shrinkage in weight, resulting
In a direct financial loss to the cream
cry, which could easily have been
avoided by filling the tubs properly.
This condition rarely occurs in carlot
shipments. When less than carlot
freight or express shipments are made
the butter should be thoroughly chilled
before shipping.

CONCERN WAS FOR MOTHER
OF Course Little Frank Was Not the
Least Bit Afraid of the
Darkness.

The family has moved from a gas
lighted house to one where there is
electricity, and baby Frank, standing
on tip toe, can just reach the two push
buttons inside the rooms. They are a
source of great amusement and he
never fails to press them whenever
he passes.
A few nights ago his mother came
from the upper rooms and announced
bedtime. Little Florence ran upstairs
Immediately. Frank, up to his usual
tricks, pushed the button, and off went
the light. The overwhelming darkness
frightened the little fellow. After a
minute he asked: Mother, are you
there?" "Yes, dear" said his amused
mother. Another pause. Mother, are
you 'fraid?"
mo, dear, are your"
mo, l amt 'fraid, but you better
put the light on. I'm 'fraid you will

BENEFITS OF PUREBRED SIRE
Striking Results Obtained by Maryland

prepared by the United states Department
OF Agriculture.l
A gain of IL per cent in milk pro-
duction and 20 per cent in butterfat
production in daughters over their
dams because of the use of a purebred
bull is the striking result obtained in
the New Windsor (Md) cOw-testing
association which has bull assOcia-
tiOn as subsidiary. The records Of
81 cows were compared with the rec
Ords of their 21 daughters after the
latter had become mature cows The
average production of the dams for
one year was $3.50 pounds of milk and
21o pounds of butterfat. The daugh-
ters averaged 6,523 pounds of milk and
263 pounds of butterfat, a gain over
the mother of 963 pounds of milk and
A pounds of fat. In the association
every one of the daughters sired by
one of the three association bulls was
better than her dam. One of the bulls

produced an average Improvement in
his daughters of Liza pounds of milk
and 60 pounds of butterfat.
The worth of the purebred sire as
an improver of the productive ca
pacity of dairy cows has been meas
ured in a number of localities where
there are both COW testing and bull
associations. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has collected
figures from a number of cOmmuni-
ties, but in the past it has been diff
cult to keep tab on the improvement
that bulls have made in herds. The
plan of the dairy division now is to
get such figures, as far as possible, on
cows owned by members in all of the
15S bull associations In the United
States.

OWNER OF BEST STREET
 RAIL SYSTEM

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 27.-A Urea ty of peace" between the city of De- troit and the Detroit United Rail- way, agreed to recently by plenipoten- tiaries of each, shortly will give Detroit the distinction of having the most extensive municipally owned street car system in the world.
 Under the treaty" signing of which marks the end of a 20 year war, the city proposes to take over soon the entire holdings of the con- pany ofl & rental basis. At some time during 1922 the electors of the city will be called upon at special elec- tion to vote on a question of pur- chase of the property by the city. AS the people here have approved every municipal street railway pro- ject advanced in recent years, city officials expect the municipality will have the entire street car field here to itself before the beginning of 1923.
 When the city assumes control it's municipal street railway system will consist of 276 miles of trackage, putting it far ahead of San Fran cisco, its nearest rival in municipal street railway operation The West Coast Citys municipal system has but 60 miles of track.
 Settlement of the street car con- troversy, tho overshadowing element in every ,ounicipal election here within tho last two decades, came suddenly. the Detroit United agree ing to the rental proposition and pro- prsed purchase after it was faced with eviction from two of the more inDortant lines in the city.
 After years of litigation. some of which found it's way to the United States supreme court with resultant victories for the city, the municipal ity was authorized by the voters ct recent election to order the De- troit United Railway from parts of the Woodward avenue and Fort street lines uDon which franchises had expired. This step followed re- frsal of the company to sell the lines fo the city at a price the lat ter. was willing t0 pay. The com pany was going aF aad with plans to tear up it's tracks on these lines when an agreement was reached whereby city and Detroit United Railway cars might use jointly cnr- tain pieces of tracks owned by one or the other The rental agreement and purchase plan was made part of this pact.
 Since the agreement was signed Detroiters have been afforded the unusual sight of cooperation be- tween the two rival street railway companies. Municipal cars are run ming over Detroit United Railway tracks, while Detroit United cars are being operated over parts of the municipal lines.
 Detroit's municipal lines came into being in 1920, when the voters ap- proved a plan of Mayor James Cou- zens for construction of 100 miles of track. Work on the new line was started as soon as possible. Forty five miles of the municipal sys- tenn originally authorized now is under operation and many other miles of track is in process of huildinp

CANADA TREATS FIX SOLDIERS
 LITERALLY

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Twenty-s seven thousand Canadian soldiers have been settled on farms by the Cana dian government and $85,00O,000 have been loaned to these men by their government, according to letter
 sent to the Horse Association of
 America here by John Barnett, chair
 man of the Soldiers Settlement Board of Canada.
 Aggregated roughly this means that we have placed a population of 125,Oo0 people on these lands,' he
 said.
 "OYr settlers have been settled
 partly on free Crown Lands, and
 partly on lands purchased by this
 board and re-sold to him. In no case has a settler been required to
 possess more than $500. We have,
 therefore, advanced practically the
 full purchase price of the lands we
 have bought, and in addition have
 advanced up to $3,000 for permanent
 improvement, such as buildings, fenc- ing, etc., and stock and equipment.
 "The risk is necessarily great,
 but has been taken largely as a re-
 establishment venture
 We have been in operation over
 three years, and the national results
 are already very great Some 600,-
 GOO acres that were previously raw
 and entirely uncultivated, have been
 brought under cultivation. Last year
 soldier settlers produced field crops
 worth easily $15.O00,000, to which
 must be added the value of the in
 crease in stock and the value of poultry and dairy products. Out of the $S5,0O0,000. already $1O,0OOO0O has been returned to the public treasury. Of due payments. more than 90 per cent was paid
 Thus far the number of men who have abandoned their efforts represents per cent of our aggre- gate settlement In the cases of abandonment, and despite the col lapse in markets, we have salvaged and foreclosed more than 300 cases representing an investment of more | than S20O0,O0O. without any financial | loss.
 MT. Barrett in his letter mentions
 that the power furnished these farm
 CTS has, in a great majority of the ! of the cases been horses, preferably | mares. He says:
 With the shortage of personal capital, each settler had to be furn- | ished with such power equipment as would enable replacement with prac- tically no cash outlay This meant supplying as largely as possible to | our settlers mares, in hope that the increase would in time provide not l merely the necessary replacements, l but also afford source of revenue. Feed can be obtained from the | farm itself. and no monetary outlay l is involved. Power machinery, we | felt, would involve for upkeep and
 fuel supply, cash outlay that few settlers could be reasonably expected 1 to meet
 "We felt, also that the use of horse mower rather than motor mower l would enable our settlers to utilize 1 more of the by-products of the ] farm"
