On some occasions, however, the

Why Not Sell Cream this Winter?
Butter of 90 score sold on the Chi
cago market November 25 for 53c
per pound. The crcameries in South
Carolina are paying for cream on
approximately this basis, yet not
many of them are getting enough
cream to pay overhead expenses.
If you have 3 to 10 cows why not
sell cream to one Of these plants
asks j. p. LaMastcr, Chief of the
Dairy Division, who says that you
can do so without expending much
money to start. Ten average cows
producing two gallons of milk each
per day will return you cream
check of S1o0 to $120 per month
at present prices. Butter is not like
ly to go much lower in price be-
fore grass comes next spring. Then
of course you can produce it cheap
cr and the profits will range in about
the same proportions. A regular
cream check each month will fortify
you and your family against the
losses due to the ravages of the boil
| weevil.
| When you realize that South Carr
oline needs 100000 more milk
cows before it can furnish the dairy
products needed by the rural pop
ulation,, it is evident that cream
production for butter making can
not be ovcrdone for many, many
years, even if every farm in the
state produces a surplus.

How to Determine Stores
In A HcchiNe

If bees are in loose frame hives, cx-
amicn the frame and be sure that you
leave three inches of sealed honey
IN each frame. Yor will always
find that what sealed honey is there
IS next to the top bar Of the frame.
If there is not as much as two
inches Of sealed honey, feeding will
be advisable. IF you have more
than three inches, why of course
the more the better"
When bees are in box gums or
other than movable frame hives,
there is no accurate way of telling
how much stores you have.
Crown Gall
Farmers who are setting out fruit
trees should take great care to avoid
putting out any that are affected
with crown gall, which is a disease
caused by species of bacteria known
as Bactcrium tumerfaciens. The or
ganism is parasitic on q large num-
Der if plants, and on nearly ali causes

mor-like gall. Usually the gall lin

February, but it may be we'll enough
to be deciding about how much seed
