Hot Weather Steals Profits

Hot weather can easily steal sew
eral dollars of your cream profit
an no time, if you don't look out.
"Cold Water" is the old, re-
liable watch dog to turn loose on
::Hot Weather" "Cold Water"
will get the best of "Hot
Weather" on nearly every can of
cream. Just cut loose "Cold Wat
er" and see what excellent work
he will do for you.
If yau have no cooling tank and
don't care to buy one ready-made,
it is easy to rig up a homemade
tank.
Farmers have made one by
saving off the top of big barrel
and placed it between the pump
and the stock tank. If this leaves
the cooling tank out in the sun,
artificial shade must be provided.
Running cold water is best for
cooling cream. There is a big
advantage in pumping water
through the cooling tank each time
warm cream is cooled. The NOV
ing cold water cools down the
warm cream most quickly, : and
quick cooling of the fresh, warm
cream is the trick in producing
sweet cream.

sive history of the church, COM
piled by committee composed of
Gust Levorson, A. e. Baalson, Kit
tel Halvorson, o. w. Kjeldahl.
Thor Thorson and Rev. Edw.
Struxness, had been printed in a
handsome 83-page book and were
distributed at nominal cost to
those who desired "a copy. The
book is printed in the Norwegian
language, with the exception of a
chapter devoted to the congrega-
tons contribution of manhood to
the World War, and contains a
number OF engravings of the var
ious pastors and early residents of
the community who were promi-
nent in the circles of the church
which had its inception 1867.
when, following services conduct
ed by Rev. Abraham jacobson at
the home of Refer Thostenson, the
congregation was organized with
a membership of 80 families. Unit
ing with the Crow River and Nor
way Lake congregation which
were already organized, a call was
issued to Rev. John Moses, who
become the first regular pastor in
1868.
The first confirmation services
were held at the home of Nils

Rev. Moses remained until the
summer CT 1869, when he was re-

feeds be fresh and clean. Keep
calf pens clean and filled with
plenty of dry bedding. Exercise
great care in washing the calf
pals. Scald these thoroughly
with boiling water, or sterilize
them with steam if possible.
Remove discarded feed from
the feed boxes, and thoroughly
brush and clean the boxes each
day.
Our farm woodlands generally
contain many crooked, forked, di-
seased trees which should give way
to straight, sound ones. Right
cutting includes also the removal
of large sound trees whose growth
is slow, because they are nearing
or have reached maturity. Follow
ing a thinning, the remaining trees
show an increased growth, and the
whole woodland is EXCHANGED in
value. With an active market for
cord wood and with the use of
treated fence posts and poles an
opportunity is afforded for thin
ming overcrowded stands, especial
ly old-field pine and clearing out
the inferior trees.
Speaking before a. recent ses.
sion of the International Congress
of Soil Science held in Washing
ton, an eminent Dutch soil scien-
fist told the delegates that the alb
solute population limit of the hui
man race is about 8 billion per-
sons. He based his conclusions on
very intensive study which he
has made of crop capacities of all
sections of the world. He says
'the land of the earth will feed
8 billion people if the most eff
ficient farming methods now be-
ing used are applied to all land
which will raise a CROP"
Experts have found that it
takes more work to produce an
acre of tobacco than any other
crop. An acre of Burley tobacco
yielding from 800 to 1000 pounds
requires, for growing and for pre-
pairing for the market, all the way
from $50 to 400 hours of labor.
Cotton in the Eastern States takes
from 100 to 125 hours of work
per acre where the yield of land
is from $50 to 200 pounds. Pota-
toes take from IS to 100 hours per
acre. In the Corn Belt where
large machines are used in level
fields a bushel of corn can be
produced with about 80 minutes
labor, but in the Southern States
it takes about 27a hours to pro-
duce ,bushel of corn. The crops
which take the most work are cot
ton, tobacco, sugar beets, pota-
toes, fruit, and truck crops. Corn.
the grain sorghum, and peanuts
require less work. Hay and small
grain, crops are usually produced
with the least labor.
Farmers who want a copy of the
new 1926 yearbook of agriculture

Specialists have found that the
meat proteins not only have as
high food value when eaten in a
mixed diet as when eaten alone,
but that they greatly increase the
nutritive value of the cereal or
vegetable proteins. Thus the pro-
teins in the bread of a ham sand
witch become more nutritious when
eaten in combination with the
meat.
There are three points to- re-
member, in preparing vegetable
dinner. First there must be a
variety of flavor. SO far as flavor
is concerned, good combination
is one mild-favored vegetable,
such as potatoes or Lima beans !;
one vegetable of pronounced fla
vor, like caulif1ower, cabbage, or
onions; one which is either sour
itself, or may be served with vine
gar spinach, or beets, for in
stance. Second, there must be
variety of texture. Variety ir
texture is obtained by having on
vegetable with a crisp crust, like
corn fritters, or scalloped toma-
toes; second vegetable, served
with sauce; and a third simply
cooked in water, as peas, or string
beans, are usually cooked. A raw
vegetable such as celery or radish-
es, lends still further variety. The
third point to remember in con-
nection with a vegetable dinner is
to include some protein foods in
the meal. AS a rule, one of the
vegetables should be beans, or
peas, which are comparatively rich
in protein. Or one of the vege-
tables may be served with a pro-
tein food, such as cheese, milk.
eggs, or chopped meat. Examples
, of vegetables combined with pro-
tein foods are green peppers or
tomatoes stuffed with a meat mix
ture, cauliflower or potatoes seal
loped with cheese, spinach with
hard-boiled eggs, and sweet corn
pudding made with milk and eggs.
Cottage cheese is high in food
value. 1t contains all the consti-
tuents of milk, excepting the
cream. Like milk, cottage cheese
is a source of protein, which is
used to build and repair body It's
sue. There are many dishes
which can be made with cottage
cheese. Cottage cheese served
plain is especially pleasing in
summer. Many people like it with
rich cream, and little salt, or
with cream and sugar. Sour
cream, or melted butter, improves
the flavor of cottage cheese, and
increases the food value. Cottage
cheese makes a delicious sand
witch filling, especially for the pic
mic season of the year. For sand
witches, moisten the cheese with
sweet cream, and flavor it with a
little chopped parsley, chopped or
sliced olives, sliced celery, pimen-
toes, horseradish, Spanish onions,
pickles, or nuts. Some people like
the flavor of caraway seeds in

Water for the Cow

AS milk is largely water, cows
nm good production need to drink
considerably more water each day
than those which are low produc-
ers or dry. Not only is good
water supply necessary for MAX
ing milk, but much of it is re-
quired for the digestion and as
similation of large quantities of
feed.
That much more water is re-
quired by cows making good yields
of milk is shown by the Minneso-
ia experiment station where a COW
producing twenty-seven pounds of
milk daily consumed 90 gal
Ions of water. a cow of the same
breed giving thirteen pounds of
milk drank only five gallons of
water day, or about one-half the
amount required by the cow pro-
ducing nearly twice as much milk.
Good COWS in milk naturally
consume larger quantities of feed
than low producing cows. There
fore, cows in milk should be sup
piled with good fresh water at
least twice a day at all seasons,
while watering once a day is ade-
quate for dry cows.
Deep we'll water pumped into a
tank or trough is the best source
of drinking water for dairy cows.
Running streams or springs are
good sources. Still pounds and
slow moving streams are objec-
tionable and often dangerous wat
ering places because they are US
ually contaminated with filth and
harmful bacteria. Such water may
not only be injurious, but its taste
is often so Objectionable that cows
will not consume as much water
as they need to meet their re-
quirements.

Pays to Full Feed
the March Born Pig

Experiments at University Farm
show that it pays to full feed
March pigs and market them early.
The pigs were finished the latter
part of September, while pigs on
limited ration of grain until the
new corn was ready We're as days
behind and did not reach the same
weight until the first week of No
vember.
Answering the question, wheth-
er to full feed with grain in sum-
mer or to let the pigs 60 hungry
part of the time, E. F. Ferrin Of
the animal husbandry department
at University Farm, says: "The
common practice is to feed only a
small amount of grain, because at
this time of the year grain is high
in price and in the fall the new
crop is much cheaper. The prin-
clpal advantage of feeding grain
heavily in summer is to get the
pigs ready for market in the fall
In September and early October
hog prices average SO to rs cents
a hundred more than in winter
months. Providing pigs are far
roWed in March they can be mar
keted before heavy runs of hogs
depress prices. April and Nav
narrowed pigs cannot be finished
even with heavy grain feeding be-
fore the prices begin to tumble. .
Therefore, it is hardly advisable
to full feed late pigs during the
summer season..
"Less than a half feed of grain
rarely is profitable. The proper
ton of runts is high and the pigs
are susceptible to disease and
parasites. "a half feed is about two
pounds of grain for every 100
pounds weight of the bunch ( of
pigs fed"

Hampers and barrels for ship

The eastern red cedar should

The diseases of cabbage also

 captain of the ship is authorized to
 perform wedding ceremonies. At At
 ka, the last island with people on it,
 a native man was picked up who de-
 sired to go to Attu, the westernmost of the islands owned by the United States, to take as bride a girl whom he had not seen for seven years. In due time, later arrived at Attu, the wedding was held, the priest on board ship officiating. On the next day, however, when the Unalga left Attu on the return to Atka the groom book ed passage for that port, while the bride was left behind, not to see her husband again for months.
