'WEED OUT POOR COWS TO CHECK BUTTER SURPLUS

Use of More Dairy Products by Farmers Would Boost Butterfat Prices.

Use of more of their own products by dairymen and their families, immediate weeding out of the two poorest producers among every eightéen “cream” cows, and the application of newer farm production methods to the dairy business, are the “three points” of the remedy suggested by the De Lavdl Bureau of Dairying to overcome the surplus butter situation which today confronts the dairy industry. The immediate cause of the situation’ is the presence in the nation’s cold storage warehouses of approximately 40,000,000 more pounds . of butter than 1s - considered normal. This surplus is being reflected in the price of butter, which in turn is having its effect on the price received by the farmer for his|butterfat.

Dairy Pr‘o{lts Steady.

“Of all the branv.gxes of agriculture,” says the De Laval Bureau, “dairying is one of the steadiest, year after year. Wherever gnod farm mabnagement is used profits are notably constant. Occasionally, howevet, a factor like the 40,632,000 more pounds of butter in starage this year over the same period last year, is causing some farmers to believe that the dairy business is being overdone. This need never be the case since the dairy farmer himself can wield a powerful Influence on a number of factors affecting the production and cost of dairy products. “Forty million extra pounds of butter seems a huge amount, but the.people living on farms alone could consume this amount in less than six weeks by merely eating the amount of butter recommendgd for health’s sake by the National Dairy Council and advised by nputrition authorities—two pounds per person per month. At this ‘same rate of consumption farm folks themselves in andther eleven weeks would consume-aljl of the butter in storage and not leave a single pound for trade. ~ Weed Out Boarders. ‘ “But perhaps The most effective measure dairymen| nold in their own hands is cutiing down the number of milk cows <o those which are profitable producers. There are approximately 10,000,0(1) cows in the United States that aie kfépt for the production of butterfat. | Of this number of ‘cream’ cows, almpst 500,000 are out and out money losers. They not only represent a loss of feed to their owners but at present produck just enough butterfat to create an excess supply and force down market pricés. The disposal of one out of every eighteen of these 10,000,000/ cream cows, or better still, the weeding out of the two poorest producers among every eighteen cows, will automatically prevent any excess storage stock over normal. There has never been a more favorable time for culling out the money-losers and selling - them for beef, which lis pow bringing good prices. A

“The temporary accumulation of butter in storage was undoubtedly the cause of the drop in the price paid for butterfat. - But for every cent drop in price an equal amount could be saved through better feeding. Raising as much low-cost, high-protein feed on ‘the farm as possible is a commendable practice thaﬁi works toward this end. Another is for every farm, whether selling whole milk or not, to separate enough g‘eam for home use and provide skimmilk- for feeding calves, hogs and poultry.” - : ﬁ’ Ling'eri:%g Turmoil

Recently in the commune of VolosecaAbbazia, in the neighborhood of Filume,! a storm of protest was raised 'becausei ap amateur poultry raiser insisted upon keeping a loud-winded male among’ his flock of hens, contrary to the local! laws. The police lost no time in call-; ing upon the lawbreaker, and a pubﬂci execution of the miscreant (the| rooster) was held. Now the. citizens. of the community are able to sleep: antil their normal hours of rising, albeit the local chicken keepers find! their business less profitable than might be if they were able to sell eggs. Apparently there is no law preventing a person from keeping hens: on the premises, simply because a hen cannot erow. : s

Working Way Through College No New Thing

- The practice of earning one’s way th*ough college is just about as old in America as are coileges themselves. Some one who has been poring over Harvard college records has discovered that Zachariah Bridgen, who entered as freshman in 1657, when but: fourteen years old, earned his way, at least in part, by “ringinge the bell and, waytinge.” G The bureau of education at Wash-. ington refers to this as the first instance on record of a student work-. ing his way; but Harvard was twentyone years old when Bridgen entered, and as students were not, as a rule, wealthy in those days, the chances are altogether in favor of the presumption that in every one of those twenty-one years there were students working to pay their way, whether the work was done for the college fitself, as in Bridgen’s case, or for .some private employer, - '

_ Rev. Cole Black, negro minister of Muddy Waters, La.,, was baptizing his converts in the river. Clepsydra Melonwater was among them.” As Reverand Black was bringing Clepsydra out of the water he asked: e “Does yo' believe?” - ‘ e

“No, sah,” replied Clepsydra. . Reverend Black scowled. Clepsydra wag ducked again and the minister asked: “Now, does yo' belleve?”.

“Yes, sah, Ah surely;does,” replied the gasping Clepsydra, ; ~ “Tell de people what yo' believe,” directed the good man. “Well,” Clepsydra addressed the crowd, “Ah believe de ol’ son-o’-a-gun. was tryin’ to drown me.,—Capper’s; Weekly. :

Work ‘a Necessity

Work is really as much a necessity to a man’s well being as eating and sleeping. There is a penalty for the neglect of food or of sleep.. The neg-. lect of work has also its penalty—deterloration of character. Work is too often regarded in the light of a punishment—an evil which has to be endured, unless haply it can be avoided. Work is a supreme good. It is the most lasting pleasure. The knowledge of work well done "makes music at midnight!” Carlyle, speaking of industry, says: “Work is the cure for all the maladies and miseries of man—honest work, which you intend getting done.”"—Mrs. Carl Kemahan.,

Martyr Patron of Toothache

~ Bt. Apollonia, in almost all Christlan countries, is known as the patron of toothache and she is appealed to In countless chapels for a cure. The original tale has it that St. Apollonia was a virgin of advanced age who suffered martyrdom in A. D. 248 at Alexandria, when the Christians were being persecuted. The peculiar method of torture to which she was subjected was having her teeth knocked out, her jaws crushed, and then, when a pyre had been lighted and she had been asked to abjure Christianity, she leaped into the flames and died a martyr's death.—New York Sunday World. > |
