Any city winnan who LI determniuuI to live in the country anxd all farm housekepers wiio wish to buildt up a reintll trade for lne products should ua!:e butter. This is a much nte~ lected branch of moslern farming, but it is ontl' that beltongs iII every sceme('Rt1 of mixedi husbandcry. The high i.rlets of butter today are not phenomenal. Looking back over market statistic's for tea years, it Is found that prices roetch the present level nlearly every winter nod some. tines are considerably hlgrher. It is apparent to an'y ono who studies the A FAlI TYPE OF DAIRY COW. subject that choice butter need never be sold at the ordinary level of prices. If a farm owner makes a specialty of nice produce and caters to family trade all the butter that can possibly be pro duced is eagerly snapped up at from 25 cents a pound In the summer to 40 or :;0 cents a pound in the winter. Owners of tine herds of 'dairy cows who have built up a private trade get as much as $1 a pound for their entire output of butter the year through. To the many farm housewives wto wish to engage in this branch of busi ness I have no hesitation in offering words of e:ncouragemaent. A fair type of dairy cow will carnt front $I;"5 to $300 a year in the prodluction of butter. Th!s is prttitleaR farming. for a herd of cattle w!!! keep up the fertility of land Ic-ides etiarnlng at spjlehilid li. Coine forl th' fatnity.

Neither here nor in anty othier article that I wrIte do I favor a person slpeeliahizing in one prod uct. Nothing coubhl be more liR advised. In t'nses where there is nothing but a dairy to bring an income ant attack of disease may run theo herd andt waste a year's efforts. It is so wIth any single crop. Neither wheat nor corn can tbe depended on as an exclusive product.

And with this ini view evecry energetic farm family may well constider branchintg out in a numt. her of chantneis. WVhile butter mnakinag may be a iitrge feature in the program, there should tbe poultry, fruit, vege. tables and other things to balance up the year's work and give a rensonaubly large income.

"Sutille eit space should be left onl cacti side of the tree to per. mit thorouA cultivation of the tree rows. As a general rule, the roots of the tree extend beyond the outer ends of the limbs. A strip may be left pro portionate in width to the spread of the branches. "One of the most familiar types of intercroppiing can be found in planting fillers bet ween the permanent trees and often buetween the rows.
