6LNlARY GRAHAM BONNER
THE CHRISTMAS TREE

There were four children in the
family and they lived far. far out in
the country.
1t was beautiful there, but it was
hard to reach, particularly when there
were great snow storms and when
sometimes the snow was banked high
all about.
They were getting little bit wor-
ried that perhaps Santa Claus would
not be able to make the trip-it even
looked these days, close before Christ
mas, that it would storm still more.
The children went out into the
woods, walking over the snow on the
snow shoes which Santa had given
them before. Each year one child had
been given pair while the others
had smaller presents for they all
thought that was very fair to have
their big. big gift given to them in
turn. They all had pair now.
So now they all could get over the
snow to the big woods beyond and
there they found such nice little
tree, and brought it back to the house.
'We will help Santa all we can"
they said.
So they chopped up some boards and
fastened the tree in between the
boards and after shaking off all the
snow they fixed the tree in the front
window Of the house.
Then they took out box of some
of the things which had been on the
tree the year before and they wrote
Santa this letter:
''We know, dear Santa, that even

You will see that the tree is waiting
to be trimmed But we have saved
the trimmings from last year and
they're in the box so you won't have
to get way down into your bag for the
trimmings you carry with you.

pertinent station, said:

In many orchards. Unusual abundance
Of side-wormy apples IN carefully
sprayed orchards proved that methods
and materials which have been reason
ably efficient In the past did not give
as good control as usual"
Speaking Of the double benefits
Professor Parrot said II was well to
keep IN mind the fact that customary
treatment given TO prevent wormy ap-
pies serve two objects, that Of keeping
the apples free from worms and OF re-
ducing the extent OF the carry-over of
the pest In the orchard which largely
determines the degree Of lnfestation

DAIRY
FACTS
GRADED CREAM WILL
BRING MORE MONEY

BY using a little more care In the
handling Of cream and Insisting on the
maintenance OF cream grades, produc-
ers OF butterfat In South Dakota could
Increase their receipts by cents per
pound It has been estimated by the
department OF farm economics at
South Dakota State college.
II the farmers Of the state, who
marketed S1,7o1. 070 pounds OF butter
fat In the form Of cream In 1922. had
received a premium Of 8 cents per
pound for better quality, II would have
amounted to little more than one
and one-half million dollars. This.
even after deductlng whatever small
additional expenses might have been
incurred through added labor and
equipment. leaves q huge sum that
butterfat producers Of the state are
overlooking. This could be saved.
says this department. If those who
are now putting out quality product
would insist on what is justly due
them In the form Of standardized
grades Of butterfat.
There Is not a town In South Da-
kota that has not several cream buyers
who compete with others for the farm
er's trade; yet all OF them pay fat
rate for ali grades OF cream. This In
not entirely the fault OF the buyers
One farmer alone. bringing in high
grade cream, does not have SUFFICIENT

ford TO pay sweet cream prices and
then find II necessary to hold the

idea of getting enough to Oh out their
shipment. If cream grades are TO be
maintained. then there must be enough

The producers OF low quality cream
certainly will not ask that cream be

they receive a higher price for their
product than they would II their own

more precaution Is taken with an ugly
bull than tame one. A "gentle" bull
is likely to suddenly become ugly and

Two things are worth observing In
handling mature bulls. First, make
their environment such that they are
not likely TO become ugly, and second,
have them where they can't do any
damage IL they do get mad.
The ideal conditions are to have
plenty OF exercise In a stout enclosure,
a chance to see other cattle, good ra-
tons, and gentle but firm handling,
with no teasing. II is best to have q
good strong stan to lead the bull with.
