Labor Cost Is Big Item
in Production of Milk

In large herds labor Is usually the
second most important item In the
cost of milk production. From the
keeping of cost accounts in many sec.
tions of the country the amount of la
Dor required in caring for a cow has
been found TO range from 100 to IT'S
hours per year. Under average condi.
tons the care of a COW for a year may
be considered equivalent to about 10
days work.
On general farms where only a few
cows are kept no additional labor is
hired for their care. The work is per-
formed either by the farmer at the
time of day when it does not inter-
fere with the field operations or the
cows are cared for largely by the chill
dern of the family before and after
school hours. Thus the keeping of a
few cows provides employment for un-
paid labor, contributes a considerable
proportion of the family living and
adds to the farm income. The amount
of labor expended depends upon sew
eral factors, among which the size of
the herd, convenience of barn and
milk house, distance from market, and
cleanliness Of milk produced, are i'm
portant

Sell Cream to Creamery
Before It Is Real Sour

Allowing cream to become real sour
before delivering it to the creamery
houses lowers the grade of butter
made from the cream and makes the
taking of an accurate sample for de-
termining the butterfat content of the
cream more difficult.
Cream is not pure butterfat. 1t con-
tainS moisture even when the test runs
high. When the cream is exposed to
temperature of 20 degrees Fahren-
heit or above, some of this moisture
evaporates. This lessons the weight
and volume of the original sample of
cream. 1t does not increase the orig
inal amount of butterfat which was in
the container. When a can is filed
with cream which has thus parted with
some Of the water, 1t naturally brings
larger income than a similar amount
kept at lower temperatures.
Allowing the cream to become real
sour may induce more variation In test
than If it is cooled after each separa-
ton before adding to other cream.
There is nothing to be gained from
selling very sour cream.-G. A. Will
Jams, Purdue university.

Turn From War to Peace

Heligoland, the high, rocky North
sea island that was the Gibraltar of
pre-war Germany, once counted moth
ing but new guns or submarine mines
as valuable additions to it's equipment
Now it boasts of new aquarium
where German naturaliSts and their
guests may observe the ways of North
sea fish and watch the technique of
diving seals and sea birds. One of
the special features of the new build
ing is an arena tank large enough to
accommodate large number of mack
erel or other swarming fish and per-
NIT observations of their behavior
when swimming as school.

Certain Legumes
Improve Soils
Cowpeas and Soy Beans as
Effective Fertilizer
as Manure.

Anyone having field which he is
not going to use for producing a mar
ket crop this year might lind 1t
good plan 10 improve the soil by SOW
Ing cowpeas or soy beans, suggests
ii. r. Cox. specialist In farm crops
at the New Jersey State College of
Agriculture. New Brunswick. II Is
cheaper to grow these crops than to
use ten tons of manure to the acre,
and they are considered as being prac-
tically as effective as this amount of
manure If the right kind of fertilizer
is used on the market crops of the
following year.
Soy Beans Cheaper. -
Soy beans are cheaper than cow
peas by about so or Is cents bushel.
Soy beans are, therefore, better
crop to use for this purpose, In the
case of soy beans 1t Is desirable to
inoculate If the field has never raised
them before. One may buy CONNER.
cial inoculants or he may use the
seed and soil" method. This method
consists In mixing bushel of slightly
moistened seed with a quart of soil
taken from field which has raised
soy beans successfully In recent
years.
Drill or Broadcast.
Soy beans or cowpeas should be
drilled, but if drill is not available,
broadcasting by hand and narrowing
will do. Five pecks to the acre
drilled or six pecks broadcast by hand
Is good rate of seeding. An appli
cation of a complete fertilizer high In
phosphoric acid and potash and low
in nitrogen may well be made at the
rate of 300 to 400 pounds per acre.
When the crop is beginning to mature,
pillow II under or disk it in and sow
rye or rye and vetch as winter COW
er crop. A surprising improvement
in the fertility of the field will result.

Roots of Spruce Tree
Valuable to Campers

Not many modern campers have to
know very much fine woodcraft, as the
Indian did. Only under the most I'M
usual circumstances must they know
how to make fires without matches,
fashion dishes out of birchbark.
But there is one little wrinkle that
comes in handy. Things are forever
needing mending, and the greatest
lack is for rope, Irvine, or something
similar. Therefore it is well to keep
in mind that the roots of the spruce
tree make an excellent substitute.
The spruce has long roots with
very little taper. These can easily
be salvaged from dead and fallen
trees. The outer bark of the roots can
be easily removed, and the inner root
Is glossy and smooth.
For most purposes they can be used
as they are, but if intricate binding or
tying is necessary, they may be soaked
in boiling water for few moments,
when they become as pliable as rope.

Reclaim Barren Island

A barren island off the coast of
Fuklen, which has never produced a
crop of any kind, is being reclaimed
by chemical treatment of the soil to
overcome the acid condition, and al
ready rice, potatoes and peanuts have
been raised in an experimental way.
The island is said to be capable of
pasturing 5000 head of cattle and re-
Gently several hundred sheep have
been placed on it and soon it is ex-
pected the desOlate land will bloom.
Heretofore the island has been visited
by several thousand peasants during
the fishing season and these have been
compelled to carry all their supplies.
After the fishing is over the land is
entirely deserted for the remainder
of the year.

Move Small Trees

In general. the best time for moving
small trees from one to two feet in
height is in the fall or early spring.
These trees can be moved at that
time without piling the earth around
the roots, If care is taken to place
them Immediately In a tub or bucket
of water and plant them as rapidly as
possible, never allowing the roots to
dry for moment. Pack the dirt solid
ly around their roots when they are
placed in their new location.

Feeding SunfioWers

In the feeding of steers at the Okla.
homa and Wisconsin stations the gains
were as great from sunfiower as from
corn silage, and the feed requirement
per 100 pounds of gain was practical
ly the same. The difference, however,
came in the production of pork from
pigs following the steers. When this
was taken into account the sunfiower
silage was worth about one-half as
much per ton as the corn silage at the
Oklahoma station and only 70 per
cent as much at Wisconsin.

Revenue From Rabbits

Priced as pets in America, Angora
rabbits are an important item of in
dustry in France, says Popular Me-

more than 1000 farms for their wool,
which, in some seasons, brings as
much as So pound. In one year the
value of the total amount produced in
France was $4,000.
