Terms:
(By R. L SHUFORD.)
To make butter profitable on the
farm we must first have good cows.
Constitutional vigor In a dairy cow Is
something we cannot pour Into an an-
imal with a bottle; It has to be bred
and fed Into her.
First, breed from nothing but strict-
ly healthy animals. After we have
healthy cows we should know their
capacity. The value of the dairy cow
depends upon her capacity to produce
butter and milk at n profit. So the
first thing we ought to do is to use the
scales and the Babcock test and find
out whether old Brindle Is paying or
not It is not enough to know that a
cow gives a pailful of milk when she |
Is fresh; we must know what she
produces In a year. If we were dairy-
ing for fun it might be all right not
to know these things, but for business
we must use business methods.
To get the most profit out of butter
on the farm It is necessary to do it In

a co-operative way. (Jet Beveral of
your neighbors Interested. This is
particularly necessary when the mar-
ket Is not convenient and the product
has to be shipped, as it is rather
expensive to ship a small amount of-
ten, which Is very necessary to do In
order to get the best price. By com-
bining the shipments the cost cati be
very much reduced.
By the use of the separator and the
proper handling of the cream there is
no reason why we cannot make as
good or even better butter on the
farm than the creameries. If we try
to learn and have conditions right we
can be sure to turn out the best prod-
uct A good quality of butter will
greatly Increase consumption. When
only inferior butter Is on the market
people use little of It. I was once told
by one of my customers that the only
objection he had to my butter was
that it took too much of It. that he
used double the amount that be did
of cheap butter.
Co-operation with your neighbors
will also greatly help in breeding up
better dairy cattle. By co-operating
we can buy the best sires and change
our breeding without so much ex-
pense. I think every dairyman. It
matters not how small his business,
should make an effort to breed reg-
istered stock, as it does not cost anv
more to raise them, and when he lias
a surplus there is so much more
profit in what he sells.
One among the most noted Jersey
breeders in America is a man who
only keeps eighteen to twenty cows.
He has bred and developed many of
the very largest producers. On 't'1®
Island of Jersey the breed has been
developed by small dairymen through
co-operation. If the average farmer
could get rid of his prejudices and
false notions about registered stock
and stop saying, "They say grades
are worth about as much for business
as registered stock," he would pot
himself far along on the road toward
the improvement of his cows and the
big Increase In their earnings They
seem to stick to the Idea that the
haphazard cow I* really better and
more profitable for them than a cow

The same low grade of Judgment pre-
vails upon the subject, of feeding.
Many people think they cannot afford
to feed their cows well. It is true
that no man can afford to buy feed, or
raise it either, for poor cows, but It
is certainly true that no man can af-
ford not to feed a good cow the right
food and all she will eat and digest.

One of Reasons Why Corn Stubble
Should Not Be Permitted to, Stand
in Field Undisturbed.
By A. F. CONRAD!, Clfmson Agrleul-
turul Collegi1 )
The cornstalk borer 1b one of the
reasons why corn stubble should not
be allowed to stand In tbe Held all
winter undisturbed This inBect is one
of the most notorious corn pests ol
the South. Without cutting the stalks
the evidence of Its work may be seen
In every cornfield at the time of her-
vesting by the holes that may occut
on any portion of the stalk. These
holes vary largely In number.
The point to he remembered In the
life history stages and habits uf this
Insect Is Its bablt of remaining as a
larva In the base of corn stubble be-
low the ground during winter. Here,
therefore. Is a chance for those farm-
ars who are friends of this species to
io It a great favor by allowing the
;orn stubble to stand undisturbed In
:heir fields during fall and winter. De-
stroying corn stubble is not very easy,
*ce"pl on modern farms where there
is sufficient horse power and the stub-
bles can be turned under thoroughly.
Turning under corn stubble is of
great help in reducing the cornstalk
borer for the next season. Where thor-
tugh turning cannot be practiced, there
are other methods, such aB "busting"
out the Btubble nnd hauling It to the
;ompost heap for rotting After the
-orn is gathered the stalks, stubble and
everything else may be bursted out.
raked in heaps and after a few weeks
for drying, burned.
In experimental work a very large
percentage of larvae was destroyed
during winter where the stubble was
plowed out and left exposed to the
wenther. It can readily be seen that
when these methods are practiced by
farmers only here and there it does
not help the situation very much. The
control of the cornstalk horer depends
on the co-operative action of the farm-
ers of a community.
In Experiment at Missouri Station no
III Results Were Noticed—Test
at Other Stations.
Ten yearling mules, weighing ap-
proximately 850 pounds each, were fed
by the Missouri experiment station,
for 90 days on an average daily ration
of 6.5 poundB of ear corn 8.6 pounds
of mixed hay. and 4 pounds of corn
silage. Tbe mules made a gain of only
4.8 pounds, during the period. No ill
results were seen from the use of the
Bilage but the mules did not consume
large quantities of It This It 1b
thought may have been due to the
fact that the silage was made from
rather immature corn.
Successful experiments In feeding si-
lage to horses and mules, conducted
by the North Carolina and Pennsyl-
vania stations have beeu reported to
the department of agriculture It Ib
advised that corn silage should always
be fed In combination with other feeds
and that under no circumstances
should spoiled silage, either moldy or
rotten, be fed to horses and mules.
FIREMAN'S BANQUET
The boys of the Fire Depart-
ment were hosts last evening
to an elegant banquet given in
honor of the city officials in the
parlors of the Lowe & Wingo
confectionory. Covers weie laid
for 27 and a five course supper
was served in fine style by the
ladies of the Christian Church.
Over the table was suspended
a large Christmas bell, red can-
dles in crystal holders ca=t a
cheerful g'ow on the table, while
the pretty red and white color
scheme was carried out by red
and white napkins and small
triangular nut cases.
The table was centered by a

; SELECTION OF POTATO SEED
Save Hairy Vetch Sefd.
Farmers who are growing hairy
vetch this jear are cautioned hy the
ugrlcultura) department to pave ttioir
seed if they expect to continue grow-
ing this valuable crop. The greater
part of the seed bus been Imported
from Russia and Germany, and. ow
Ing to war conditions, the supply will
be nccosaarlly limited, and bring a
very high price, as It lins in the pant.
This will l(e another opportunity tor

Determining Factor In Production of
Maximum Crop—Serious Losses
Sustained Through Mixtures.
(1) Good seed Is a determining fac-
tor In the production of maximum
crops of potatoes.
12) Good seed may be obtained by
the tuber-unit and hill-selection meth-
ods of selection through the elimina-
tion of unproductive and weak plants.
These methods r.re explained In Farm-
ers' Bulletin 533, "Good Seed Pota-
toes and How to Produce Them."
(3) Like produces like. If tubers
from unproductive or weak plants
are used, a similar harvest will be
reaped.
(4) All tubers showing marked dis-
coloration of the tlcBli should be re-
jected.
(5) Pur'ty of seec* stock is an es-
sential quality of good seed. Serious
losses are sustained by the grower
Ihrougli mixtures.
