$000,000 in Alvord's dopnrtmont. Tho
figures showed that tho shortago var
ied, aud that from Ootober 10 to Octo

The Cost of Mnktne Hotter.
Tat creamery conducted on the right
principles is one of tho best friends of
the farmer, and If It cnu be started It
should receive the-Intelligent support
of those who raise tho milk nnd cream
for It. Too often there Is an antagon
ism between tho creamery owners and
the farmers, nnd the latter, to show
that they have the power to close tho
creamery, mny very easily destroy a
profitable ludustry In tho vicinity. It
certainly pays farmers better to raise
their milk and cream for the creamery
than for most of the city markets. In
tbeAO latter places the price for milk Is
DEVICE FOn TYINO CORJf FODDEIU
often bo ridiculously small that dairy
ing does not pay. The remedy often Is
for more farmers to encourage the erec
tion of creameries. In parts of tho
West and East where creameries have
been established farmers get more re
turns from their farms, nnd aro better
contented", than In dairying regions
where the milk Is all shipped to cities.
The cost of making a pound of butter
has been steadily decreased by means
of the Improved 'creamery, and It Is pos
sible for creameries to make and sell
butter at a profit when farmers cannot.
Country butter does not sell well In tho
large markets. Creamery seems to have
a charmed nnmo for consumers, and
they demand thla every time. Country
butter to-day Is a drug In many mar
ketsas low as 8 and 10 cents per
pound. The farmer making his butter
cannot make a living nt any such prices.
The day of the country butter has gone,
and the farmers of any dairying region
sboujd recognize this nnd not wasto
their time In making It. The milk
should either be raised for a creamery,
or the farmers should Join together and
run their own creamery. As a rule, the
man who will put up the creamery and
run It himself will do better than an
association of farmers where too many
heads are apt to cause disputes and
bickerings. Milk sent to the creamery
pays all the way from 12 to 22 cents a
pound, and at this price tlio farmer Is
making far more than by making bis
own butter. This comparatively high
price Is made possible because of the
better prices received for creamery, and
for the low cost of manufacturing It.
This latter varies because the size of
the creameries vary. The larger the
creamery the cheaper the butter can be
made, nnd this varies all the way from
1 cent a pound to 7 cents. The two
extremes, however, are exceptions, and
soihewhere between them the actual
cost could be placed, say from 3 to 5
cents. S. W. Chambers, In American
Cultivator.
Profit from Cowb.
It Is estimated that the cost of a cow
for one year for food alone Is about
$25, says the Farmers' Journal. This
amount she must return .to her owner
before she can make nny profit, nnd
yet there will remain the cost of the
labor and shelter, for which she will
pay with the manure, as It possesses
value, as well as the milk. If the
farmer cannot get enough from the cow
to pay for the food she eats be will
.keep her at a loss. At $25 per year
the cost 1b about 7 cents per day. The
price of the milk In market will deter
mine the value of the cow. If she pro
duces 2,500 quarts of milk In a year,
the cost of each quart will be reduced.
All cows cannot be kept for one year
at so low a cost, but as there must bo
an expense for the cow whether she
proves valuable or not, the dairyman
should seek the best. In order to reduce
the cost.

Spraying Fruit Trees.
A correspondent of the Prairie Farm
er says be has been spraying fruit trees
with more or less success for eleven
years, but only for the last four years
has he obtained results entirely satis
factory, lie now slakes lime In the or
dinary manner and strains It, Then
for npplo and plum trees be adds to a
gallon of this two gallons of water and
two teaspoonfuls of London purple, and
sprays the trees before the bloom comes
out, and again after the bloom Is gone.
Gives a third and fourth application If
necessary, which Is not often the case.
Never spray while the bloom Is on, ns It
drowns, poisons or kills the pollen.
Uses the same on currants and goose
berries before they bloom and after tho
fruit has started. For peaches and
pears he weakens It, using, one-half
gallon of lime water and one teaspoon
ful of London purple In two gallons of
water. Uses lime water without Lon
don purple to spray trees after fruit Is
fair size, to prevent fruit rotting on tho
trees, and has succeeded In saving It by
shaking slaked lime from a can attach
ed to a pole, right on tho ripening fruit

try houses on lilgn, dry ground. Select
nn elevated site, protected by trees on

plant trees. If you arc nfrald the fowls
will destroy them by scratching about
the roots, place stone about the trees,
or make a board frame, which can be
cheaply and easily mado from any old
lumber. This will also act as n mulch
and keep tho ground cool and moist
Trees and fowls are good friends and
should never bo separated.
