eaten by stock. It is yjery easy, how
ever, to use more straw than ls prof
itable. We are learning that large
bulk ls not desirable In manures.
Bulky manures when made of straw
largely do not pay cost of handling
any great distance. Even when spread
on fields near the barn lt mal es a great
difference where twenty loads of ma
nure per nero aro required to do the
work that should be done by ton.
Tho practice of covering stock yards
with straw and turning stock thereon
during pleasant duys in winter is a
fairly good one if care ls taken not to
allow the ynrd to lench. One of the
beet winter provisions for a Hock of
Bhecp is to have a straw stack lu their
run which they will work down during
the winter.
But niter we have fed straw and
bedded Brock ns much us is profitable
there is a great deal of straw left over
on wheat farms, und the question ns
to disposal to best advantage remains
unsolved. When lt cnn bc sold ut a
net profit of $1 a ton lt should be put
upon tho market. When the location is
near Borne city or strawboard factory
this can always be done. Sometimes it
will pay to have struw baled and ship
lt to a distant market, but only those
who live near u railroad station can
do so.
So tlie only plan left on the great
j majority of farms is to nllow.stacks to
rot dowu. In such cuso they nrc In
tho way in cultivated fields, occupy
valuable space and when rotted down
tho manure isn't very valuable. liven
on land where vegetable matter ls de
ficient struw Isn't the best thing to
supply the need. It takes lots of work
I to haul lt out and scatter it ou thc
land, and then it is difficult to turn
under. Greeu manures are far cheaper
to put humus into the soil, for there Is
no cost of hauling or spreading, and
they contain many times us much plant
food ns struw.
We may be criticised for our prac
tice the past few yearn, but after ma
ture deliberation we can bee no better
plau of getting rid of our surplus straw
than to stick a match to lt. Wo Lave
tried baling and shipping, spreading it
on the ground and turning lt under,
but neither plan pays. When u stack
ls burned down we have a few loads
of ashes that when distributed on poor
points show good results. We have
arrived at that stage of the game in
our farming, concludes an Ohio Farm
er correspondent, where we don't care
to work when lt isn't going to pay. So
we Bhali continue to burn our straw
until some one tells us how to dispose
of lt to better advuntuge.

Scotch pine from four to twelve feet
and the bull pine from three to eight

almost worthless sand hills. It is said
that on the success of this early plant

Coat of RannlnR a Creamery.
The total cost forerunning a creamery
and marketing the product, including
interest on tho investment and provi
sion for n sinking fund, ought not to
exceed SMi cents for every pound of
butter made. Under favorable condi
tions this cost ought to bo reduced to
ll or even us low ns IVJ cents. The
smallest practical creamery cannot be
operated for less than ?-l or $5 per
day. It becomes evident then that the
dally product should be over 150
pounds as a safe minimum. Conse
quently no creamery should be put in
to operation unless having control or
a promise of about 800 cows.-Oscar
