Pag* tttx IUU pounas oi iai in Farm Department HIGH-TESTING THE REST CREAM ADVANTAGES TO THE CREAM ERY MAN AND FARMER—FAT CONTENT 30 TO 35 PER CENT MOST SATISFACTORY The average fat content of cream delivered to many creameries is ap proximately 25 per cent. This means that, in some instances, the test is above and in others below this aver age. It is evident that many cream ery managers, as well as many farm ers, do not understand the loss involv ed in handling thin cream. Cream testing 30 to 35 per cent is the most satisfactory to the farmer and to the creamery man. A com parison of low-testing with high-test ing cream reveals, for the high-test ing cream, these advantages: (a) To the creamery man— (1) Less bulk to handle, hence less labor, fewer churnings, smaller equip ment and building. (2) Less buttermilk, hence less loss of fat in buttermilk. (3) Less cost to pasteurize, about one-half as much steam being requir ed per 100 pounds of fat in 34 per cent cream as in 17 per cent two-thirds as much in 33 per cent as in 22 per cent cream. In cooling the cream less wa ter or brine is required for the hand ling of the same amount of tat when the cream is rich than when it is thin. (4) In pasteurizing sour cream, the formation of large curd particles, with the attendant loss of butter fat is avoided to a great extent if the crcam contains more than 30 per cent fat. (b) To the farmer— (1) Less bulk to handle, hence fewer cans and smaller cooling tank required. Fifty pounds of 34 per cent cream and 100 pounds of 17 per cent cream both contain the same number of pounds of fat. (2) Less bulk to cool, hence Ie3s ice or cold water required quicker cooling, hence less deterioration. Cream spoils in a short time if net cooled quickly and held at a tempera ture below 50 degrees F. (3) Less bulk to haul to creamery. (4) Better keeping qualities of the cream. It is not the fat but the other solids in the cream which become sour and' spoil. As thin cream contains more of these solids, it sours sooner than thick cream. (5) More skimmed milk kept on the farm. The farmer who delivers 100 pounds of fat in 17 per cent crean I per cern, CRETI N more if he delivered 34 per cent LV— I-- J-I: delivers 294 pounds of skimmed milk has say ten acres of fenced pasture, .than cream. Unless the buttermilk is re turned free this is a dead loss to him. At 25 cents a hundred pounds it amounts to nearly 75 cents, or three fourths of a cent on each pound of butter fat delivered. Farmers sometimes offer tne fol lowing objections to high-testing cream: (1) Thick cream may stick to the can and be a loss to the farm er: (2) improper samples may be taken because of insufficient mixing (3) a high test is more likely to be cut than a low one. In a properly op erated factory, however, these objec tions do not hold good, and the cream ery man who would have his patrons deliver rich cream will manage the plant so efficiently that there will be no grounds upon which to base such objections. IMPROVING THE PASTURE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICUL TURE MAKES PRACTICAL SUG GESTIONS TO FARMERS Bismarck, July 23.—Commissioner of Agriculture R. F. Flint has issued a bulletin urging the farmers of the state to improve their pastures. He says: It is becoming evident that very many fenced pastures, especially those adjacent to buildings, have decreas ed in value during the past few years. The pastures have been overstocked and as a result the grasses in the pas ture have decreased in quantity while the small sages, have become very abundant. This holds true in any lo cality indeed it is not difficult to find pastures where the useless native plants, useless from a grazing stand point, compose 75 per cent or more of the total vegetation. Certainly such pastures are carried at a decided loss. Many farmers believe that the aver age native hay meadow is no longer an asset because tame hay plants yield so much more. If this be true in re gard to a native hay meadow in good condition, how much more true must it be of a native pasture less than 50 per cent normal. The conclusion so far then is that a large number of na tive pastures which can be plowed and which have grown more or less to weeds, become a liability rather than an asset. There is a practical method for the improvement of such pastures used somewhat in North Dakota. If a man oi the amount of such pasture which he TO HORSEMEN The French Representative will hold a Cavalry and Artillery Horse inspection at the Great Northern Stables At Williston Aug. 3 and 4, '15 The following prices will be paid for horses pass ing inspection: Artillery Horses Gunners' Horses Cavalry Horses Either geldings or mares of 5 to 10 years old, 15 to 16 1-2 hands high, sound and broken.

Discing and harrowing the land will put it in fair condition. Further work in the land may be needed in the fall and again in the spring following, prepar atory to seeding. The pasture is to be used to a mix ture of brome grass and alfalfa. Care should be taken to secure good brome seed free from quack. This is a mat ter of much importance. The alfalfa seed should be tne Grimm, or equal to that in hardiness. The rate of seed ing may be at the rate of 15 lbs of brome and 2 or 3 lbs of alfalfa seed per acre. It is best to seed without a nrse crop and seeding is perhaps best accomplished by means of wheel barrow type of broad cast seeder, fol lowed up by the peg-tooth harrow. Jn following this method the stock may remain on both the old and new pas tures during the first and following seasons* If the foregoing woric be well done the farmer will find the carrying ca pacity of the new pasture to be sever al times that of the old and the new pasture will bfcome an important as set of the farm. THE AUGUST AMERICAN MAGA ZINE In the August American Magizine Phillip Curtiss begins a new short serial entitled "And West is West." It is a story of California and the Ex positions—a gay tale of love and of travel across the continent, full of ad venture and humor. The war is admirably handled in this issue of The American Magazine. A well-known American banker writes on "The Money Side of the War" and gives many important and amazing facts about the financial condition of all the nations engaged in the present struggle. Herbert Quick, writing under the title "The Submarine as a Peacemaker" shows how the sub marine will in the future prevent the domination of the sea by any power. In the same number Ring W. Lard ner writes an amusing baseball article about Christy Matthewson, of the New York Giants, and Hypatia Boyd Reed writing under the title "A Substitute for Ears" describes the remarkable de vices for comfort made by a deaf per son. The prize-winning letters are printed in a contest entitled "The Best Thing Women Have Done for Their Town:" James Montgomery Flagg contributes an amusing piece in words and pictures entitled "Shams." The two departments, "Interesting People" and "The Family's Money," are enter taining and suggestive. WILSON LEARNS ABOUT MEXICO GENERAL DEVOL, OF RED CROSS WILL REPORT CONDITIONS AS FOUND THERE Washington, July 23.—Chaotic con ditions in Mexico, which led Red Cross officials to practically abandon their campaign for the relief of non-com batants, were pictured to President Wilson today by Brigadier General C. A. Devol, general manager of the Red Cross Ernest Bicknell, national di rector, and Miss Mabel Boardman, member of the central committee. General Devol, who went to Mexico to direct the relief work, will report to the president the situation he found and his inability to obtain any kind of agreement between the various leaders to facilitate the task of feed ing starving Mexicans. Technically the subject was taken up with Mr. Wilson in his capacity of president of the Red Cross. All in formation given, however, will be util ized by him in his study of the Mexi can question as president of the Unit ed States. He will be told that condi tions are even worse than they were when he issued his last warning to the military factions that they must com pose their differences. arranza's Latest Move Diplomatic advices reaching Wash ington from Mexico late yesterday said General Carranza had given no tice that he would not receive com munications from or transact business with foreign governments which have no diplomatic agents accredited to his government at Vera Cruz. Enforcement of such an order prac tically would cut off the Carranza government from further communica tion with all the foreign nations which have ministers resident in Mexico City. It would not, according to the information received, sever his in formal relations with the United Stat es government, as Carranza is under stood to regard Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz as a properly accredited agent. General Carranza's Washington agents said they had no advices of any such action on the part of their leader nor had they heard that it was in contemplation. The report created interest and surprise in official and diplomatic circles, particularly in view of the general understanding that for eign governments were awaiting ac tion by the United States toward Mexico before recognizing any govern ment in the republic. It was announc ed recently that Great Britian had determined definitely to extend no rec ognition until a government had been recognized by the United States. Although present conditions in Mex ico are being given very serious con sideration by tne Washington govern ment, it became known tonight that no decisive action is in contemplation by the administration in the immediate future,' despite the fact that the presi dent and secretary of state have clear ed the foreign relations desk for the time being with the dispatch of the third note to Germany regarding sub marine warfare. In official quarters the opinion pre vails that tne military situation in Mexico just at this time is too uncer tain for any new step on the part of the United States, and the outcome of approaching conflicts between Car ranza and Villa forces in Central Mexico is being awaited with consid erable interest. Mexico City remains cut off from communication with the outside world and there have been no ad vices concerning the whereabouts of General Gonzalez, who is believed to be seeking to give battle to a column of Villa troops under Generals Fierro and Natera somewhere in the vicinity of Pachuca. Neither has the state de partment been able to get any con vincing news as to the exact condi tions in the capital or whether the Zapata forces, as reported two days ago, are again in active control of the city. The state department today took notice of protests against the occupa tion of Naco, on the Sonora-Arizona border, by General Carranza's forces. A message was sent to Carranza at Vera Cruz calling his attention to and asking him to abide by the Scott agreement negotiated with his gener als and those of General Villa, pro viding that no military operations should be conducted along the border where lives of Americans would be endangered. Notice was given that the American government regarded the attack up on Naco as a violation of the agree ment. Unofficial advices which reach ed Washington tonight indicated that Carranza's chieftains were preparing to withdraw from Naco. Rioting at Cananea, Sonora. last Monday, in which several Chinese merchants suffered heavy losses, was reported to the state department to night. Quiet was restored and order enforced, the report said, the follow ing day, after Carranza's army under General Calles had occupied the town. Other Mexican advices received to day were summarized by the depart men tas follows: "Advices dated July 20 from the west coast say that although some Mayo Indians are on the warpath, no damage has been done to American property at Los Mochis. The cruis er Cleveland has investigated condi tions there and reports the place quiet. "The department is in receipt of a telegram dated July 21 from Vera Cruz stating that about 1,000 work men of the Huasetca Petroleum com pany went on strike the 19th, caus ing the company's plant to cease op erations. It is stated that the com pany recently settled a strike by in creasing the workmen's wages from fifty to one hundred per cent. It is further reported that the local au thorities appreciate the situation and have guaranteed protection to the company's property. It is stated that American employes will operate the companv's plant pending a settlement of the strike." Many more towns die for want of confidence on the part of the business wen and lack ofpublic apirit, than from opposition of neighboring towns and adverse surroundings. rnrr Send 10c and I* §C I* your tobacco dealer's name, and we will send a full-size cut of "PIPER" and a hand some leather pouch FREE, anywhere in U.
