MEDIUM Sailing 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-
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 cariot
freight or express shipments are made
the butter should be thoroughly chilled
before shipping.

Here is what it costs, In labor and
feed, to produce 100 pounds of market
milk in eastern Nebraska: Winter,
six months-concentrat 41.2 pounds /;
dry roughage, 95.3 pounds; silage
and other succulent roughage, 936
pounds; bedding, Ill pounds; human
labor, hours; horse labor. 0O6
hour; hauling and grinding concen-
trates, S0.01G; pasture, $0.10S; total
costs, except depreciation on cows,
$0.7S8; depreciation on cows, $0.01S.
Summer six months-Concentrat
II pounds; hauling and grinding con-
centrates, 10000; dry roughage. 51.2
pounds; silage and other succulent
roughage, 1913 pounds; pasture, $0.653 (;
human labor, 10 hours; horse labor,
COS hours; total costs except depre-
citation on cows, S0.S05; depreciation
on cows, $0094.
The work of determining the cost
of producing milk in this section
covers two one-year periods. 1t was
begun by the bureau of animal indus
try, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, in cooperation with the de-
partment of dairy husbandry of the
University of Nebraska, in September,
1917, discontinued at the end Of the
first year, and resumed In September,
1919 The figures reported were based
on actual records obtained by regular
monthly visits of "a hours each to
eight farms for two years, and to %
other farms for one year.
The requirements for keeping the
average cow one year were: Concen-
trates, 1929 pounds, hauling and grind
ing concentrates, 5000; dry roughage,
1926 pounds; silage and other succu-
lent roughage, 9,593 pounds; pasture,
S2201; bedding, $40 pounds; human
labor, 1886 hours; horse labor, 80
hours; other costs except depreciation
on COWS, S46.35; depreciation on cows,
$47S.
During the first winter and summer
the average incomes from milk were
not sufficient to meet the average
costs. In the second year the incomes
were above the average costs in both
seasons. The greater percentage of
the years income was recei d in the
winter, but the feed, pasture and bed
ding costs exceeded the summer costs

Weaknesses That Make for Success

THE FINGER NAILS

GOOD taste, tact, de licacy Of mind,
~ and other desirable qualities are
seen In nails that are white and
polished, soft In texture, pink because
they are transparent, and Of normal
and well-proportioned length. Nails
that are slender or narrow are gen.
orally good sign OF intelligence,
but this Is frequently combined with
q tendency to dominate others. These
same long, narrow and slender nails
are marked In the per son OF strong
ambition.
If the nails are red and marked, 1t
Is not good sign, since 1t means a
nature that will not forgive easily,
but will seek vengeance for wrongs,
real or maginary. Nails that are
either very pale or very dark, show
physical weakness and disease.
A nail that is wide and long is good,
as a rule, but may show disposi-
tion that Is too mild and gentle and
self-denying. In rare cases one en-
counters nails that are crooked, or
oblique. These show a deceitful ma
ture, one that Is wise ih Its own con-

MOLD REPORTED IN SlLAGE
Troub'e Occurs Only Where Air ls
Present, Generally Caused by Lack
of Water.

The usual number of complaints are
coming in regarding the presence Of
mold In silage. Mold can grow only
when air is present. Air generally
gets in as the result of the silage be-
ing too dry when put into the silo. If
water was added, not enough was
used. Poor packing may cause the
same trouble. Mold around the doors
and against the wall is the result of
poor construction of the silo which
allows air to enter. Nothing can be
done now to remedy the condition. At
the next filling time special care should
be taken TO see that the corn contains
enough moisture and that it is well
tramped. 1t Is always safest to reject
moldy silage especially for horses and
sheep. although for cattle there seems
to be little danger-C. FL. Eckles,

DANGEROUS EXAMPLES

IF THERE were no unfairness, no
\ injustice, no successful crookedness
in the world, everybody would succeed
without any trouble.
We should all tread the primrose
path straight to paradise, with no one
to bar our progress.
Incidentally our road would be made
so smooth and easy that we would be
a pretty poor crowd when we got to
paradise, quite unworthy to partake of
its delights, and utterly unfit for the
society which we should expect to find
there.
1t happens, however, that the world
is fairly well filled with injustice, and
that crookedness is sufficiently preva-
lent to make it worth while to keep
our eyes open.
Also men succeed who ought not
to succeed, and by devices which
should send them to the penitentiary.
Such instances are exceptional, but
they occur often enough to be danger
Gus.
A man engaged in a business which
interests almost everybody, recently
commented thus on one of his col
leagues:
Nobody takes his word-nobody
trusts him. He would cheat his own
mother. Yet in spite of all that he
makes nearly d million dollars year,
and his business is one of the big
gest in the world"
Perhaps this man will meet the fate
he merits in time. Perhaps he will
not. There are few rascals who
live and die prosperous.
But that Is not an argument in favor
of rascality. 1t is not even proof
that rascality pays.
For where one rascal prospers a
thousand are the victims of their own
crookedness.
In this world are far more crooks
who could have succeeded had they
been honest, than honest men who
could have succeeded had they been
crooks.
Do not be deceived by the success
of a scJundrel. 1t is not his dis
honesty that makes him prosper. 1t
is some talent in him great enough
to win success in spite of dishonesty.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hun
dred the crook will be "met up with"
before he is done. Straight, open
dealing, respecting and keeping your
own word always pays best. The
knaves who succeed could have sue
ceeded ON a far greater scale had they
been honest
Do not envy or initiate them. Do
not be dazzled by their success. That
sort of success is not worth having

Although the figures obtained show
what was required to produce milk for
the Omaha market under the system
of dairy management found in the sec
tiOn studied, and probably approx
mate the requirements in similar To-
calities, it Is pointed out by the de-
partment that they, of course, do not
apply to dairying in sections where
different conditions and methods of
management prevail.

CIRCLES HELP FARM INCOME
Excellent Example of Way in Which
Home Demonstration Workers
Are Aiding Farmers.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
Home demonstration workers realize
that before substantial improvements
can be made In rural home life there
must be more cash income with which
to install conveniences, correct defects,
beautify the surroundings, or improve
clothing. On most farms the produc-
ton and selling Of eggs and poultry
offer the best immediate possibilities
for increasing the income. The home
demonstration agents of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the state agricultural colleges, there
fore have turned their attention to
giving help in this field whenever there
seemed to be need of 1t.
The poultry project at Orchard Gar
dens community, Dakota County,
Mimi, is an excellent example Of the
way in which home demonstration
work thus meets a real want. The
home demonstration agent helped to
interest people in poultry raising as
source of income, which would mean
income during the winter as well as
during the summer
The poultry project was started by
the poultry specialist. During the
project the members formed poultry
association. The first work Of the as
sociation was to pool their orders for
feed, thus saving considerable sum.
The second step Of the association was
to organize an egg circle to make plans
for the marketing of the eggs. The egg
circle was formed and bylaws adopted
making provision for guaranty that
their product would be of excellent

A gain of II 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 a bull associa-
tion as subsidiary. The records of
q cows were compared with the rec
ords of their Il daughters after the
latter had become mature cows. The
average production of the dams for
one year was $500 pounds of milk and
219 pounds of butterfat. The daugh-
ters averaged 6,523 pounds of milk and
263 pounds of butterfat, gain over

produced an average Improvement in

and 62 pounds of butterfat.
The worth Of the purebred sire as
an improyer 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.

PLEASING OTHERS
By F. II. WALKER

THE difficulty of human endeayor,
! whether it be of mental or physi-
cal character is not work In a gen
eral sense. but the doing Of work
in manner which shall prove wholly
pleasing and satisfactory to the en-
ployer.
He wishes such work as he is pay
ing you to do, to be done in his par
ticular way, so that when 1t is fin
ished it will fit in accurately with his
prearranged plans, and produce the re-
suits he has in mind.
The man or woman who writes a
book, if he or she hopes to make a
success of it, must write it to amuse
instruct, entertain, and finally to please
the readers.
If the book fails in this respect, the
author fails.
All the difficulties of life are over
come by this art of pleasing.
And this art of pleasing others
must be carried out from the highest
flight of metaphysics, down to the
loading of dray or the digging of
post hole.
1t is not easy to make some ma
lures understand this. The art lies
as unseizable to their dull wits as the
solution of the fourth dimension.
The genius may be a very wonder
ful fellow, and do very many re-
markable things, but If he be lacking
in ability to make people understand
he may at some time or another in
his career be lacking of food and raj
ment.
But on the other hand, the simple
plodder, sincere in his effort to please
others. to present the truth pleasant
ly, in accordance with the accepted
usage of common sense, will, through
his sanely directed energy, climb to
strategic heights.
The more you analyZe success, the
stronger will become the conviction
that it consists primarily in yielding
TO those in authority the right of the
highway.
The result is that the men and
women who habitually do this. who
listen to reason, who keep their feet
on the ground. can open themselves
more clearly to their employers, de-
velop more easily their natural abili-
ties and enjoy more of what makes
life truly valuable not only in the
days of springtime when character Is
plant and easy 10 shape, but all along
the days down TO the final night of
winter.
