VERMONT WATCHMAN & STATE JOUltNAL: WEDNESDAT, FEBRUARY 24, 1897.
AGRIGULTURAL.
Tcrrj's Fnrmlng.
About twonty-scveu ycnrs ngo a man
by tho namo of T. 11. Terty moved on
to a fnrra tn northcrn Ohlo. II o was
young, in tlcbt $3,700, know nothlng of
fnrmlng, nelthor did ho havo a good
fnrm. Tho land was nnturally poor,
with Bwnmpy epots, stones, stumps,
aud somo Btocp sido hllls, Tho build
ings woro in wrolchod condltion. Tho
tonnntB who hnd boon on tho fnrm had
burncd tbo fonces for qulto a distnnco,
also tho bnrn doors and n good many
of tho bonrds for ilro wood. Tho bnrn
lenked badly, and vvhon ho wcnt on to
tho fnrm in December ho found that
tho cattlo hud not bccu put in tho stn
blo nt all, and thcy woro renlly moro
comfortablo oulslde than they would
havo bccn inslde. Tho ono hundrcd
and twenly-fivo acro form produccd
twelve tons of hny. Tho liouso was
about ns bad as tho barn. During tho
flrst years thoy Blaved theniBelves and
did not gct cnough to pay tho iutcrest
and taxee. That was tho begiuuing of
Tcrry's farmlng. Well, ho found ho
had to do something differout; thero
must bo a chango or ho and his wlfo
would toil liko a slavo and get nolhing
for it. Wo fear thero aro uiuny liko
tbis, ccrtainly tbcro aro in this country,
and thero may bo in Vermont. IIow
did Mr. Torry got out of that way of
farming? Ho did got out of it, mado
tho farm produco such crops and farm
cd in such a way that ho got out of
debt, put up now buildinge, tho best of
thoir kicd, and has a large incomo
from thiB onco wrotched pieco of land.
How ho did all thiB ho has told in his
book "Our Farming." Wo want to
mako this part of tho Watchman a
hclp to its farmcr readera, and wo aro
aure that papers and books aro a very
great help. But thero aro papers that
aro of little worth, and books tbat help
little. Wo havo tried to couitnend pa
pers which will help thc farraers of this
Stato; but wo havo nover found a book
which iB both so practical and helpful
as thiB ono of Mr. Terry's. Probably
thero is uo one in this country who is
helping so many farmors and giving
them such real assistauce as T. B. Ter
ry. Ho lectures at farmor's institutcs,
writes exclusively for tho Practical
Farmer, and his farm iB an object les
son to all wbo bcc it. Then his book
has a wide clrculation, and he nlso has
an immense correspondence.
Tho book has thrco hundrcd and
sixty-Beven pages, six by nine inches,
with a good many illustrations. It is
published by tho Farmer Company,
Philadelphia, Pa., and the price is two
dollars. A greot part of its valuo lies
in tho fact that in it a man tells just
how he succeeded in farming, and then
ho shoWB up tho goneral principles un
derlying success in agriculture. He
stopped doing aB evorybody elso was
doing, ond etruck out in a new path.
Instead of growing a little .of many
difforent things, bo changed into grow
ing a good deal of a few things. One
of these was dover, and he shows how
dover has mado him ricb, and the
Bame plant is patiently waiting to make
otherB, perbaps tbe rcader, ricb. He
haB mado farming a busine&s as few
men have, using his head, studying
and thinking to save time and labor.
Thon he has gotien pleasuro out of
farming, taken comfort in it. Ho did
not flnd much comfort in toiling, both
ho and his wife, until thoy could hardly
stand and then tumbling into bed to
get up carly and go to toiling again.
He did not tako pleasuro in not gotting
onougb to provido his family with tho
necessarics of lifo. At times they
wero not able to dress well cnough to
ovcn attcnd tho funeral of a ncighbor,
thoy were bo terribly poor. But he
bogan to make moncy, paid all dobtB,
built a good houso as comfortablo as a
city house, and found pleaaure as woll
as proflt in farmlDg. If you are a dis
couraged farmer, you bad bettcr got
Terry's book and read it this wlnter.
It will eel you to thinking, may bo put
you in tho way of changing your tueth
ods so that you can make money, even
in thcso hard times.
Tho very worst thiug a man can do
is to getdiscouraged. Terry did almost;
ho might have got a thousand dollars a
year in tho city, but ho stuck to tho
farm, and now ho foels that ho is far
bettor oil thnn ho would have becn if
he hnd gouo into the city. But gct his
book and read how ho succeeded, and
perhaps it will put you in thc way of
Buccesa.

Cost of Maklng IluUcr,
Editor of Walchman: Undor thia
hoad of " Creomories, Thcorotically
and Practically," in your Isauo of Jan
uary 27, you quoto from Piofossor Al
vord that " whcro tho grcntest economy
was uacu in 1110 iiomo-maKing anu mat
keting of butter, it cost from six to
olcbt cents per pound," and from Gov
ornor Grout that lt cobt him six conts
to mako nnd markot his butter; then
you sny that tho actunl cost of making
a pounu 01 nuucr at a creamery is
from throo to four conts. If you had
added the markctlng I think thoro
wouiu do no matoriai ulllorenco in cost
botwocn Govornor Grout'a homo-mado
and tho creamorics.
Tho obovo nuotntions lead mo to clvo
you somo fjgures ns to tho cost of mak-
lncr DUttcr in our dnlry. a or tho year
louu, wo mnno ,04J pounus 01 buucr,
averaging 104 pounda por wcek. AVo
churned thrco timca a wcek, requiring
tho tlmo ol two men tnreo nours lor
oach churning. For tbat nmount of
buttor it requirod 153,774 pounds of
milk, an averago of 421 pounds por day.
Our aoparator skimmcd G00 nounds per
hour. Allowing for start and finish wo
call it ono nour cncn day, for skimminir.
Thnn we havo Bkimming ono woek, 7
houra; churning, etc, 18 hours; mak
lng, 20 hours' work lor ono woek's but
ter of 104 pounda. Allowing ten cents
per nour would bo $2.50 or ono and one
half cents nor pound. Add to this ono
halfcont per pound for intorosl, otc,
would mako tho cost two cents for
making, to which may bo added, what
evor it be, tho cost of packugo aud
mnrKeting.
Hoard s Dairyman is authority that
crcameries usually chnigo threo cents
nor pound for makini; butter whoro all
things aro found, which is ono cont
moro tban it cost mo at homc; anu u I
had paid for hauling the milk to tho
creamery wnat my neignbors aro paV'
ing, ten cents per hundred, tho cost
would bo $239.20 moro for canying to
tho creamery than to make it at homo.
That, in many dairics, is the differenco
notween succoss anu taiiure.
L. W. Pitkik.
Wo do not know how it is in tho West
but hero in Vermont wo think tho price
for making butter at thc creameries is
usually threo to four conts, as wo stntod
in the articlo roforred to. But this in
cludes the cost of tho packago which is
genorally placed at ono cent per pound
Wo gavo tho statements of ProfcsEor
Alvord and Governor Grout just as
they wero mado at tho Daliymen's
meoting, and from our notea mado on
tho spot. Wo aro vory glad to have
tho abovo communication to lay bofore
our readers, becauso it shows business
methods, and that is ono great necd of
farmers. IIow many of our dairy
readers have flgured out thoir business
as has this correBpondent? How many
can tell what it coBts them to mako a
pound of buttor? Ie tho cost of one
hour'a labor placed too low? Wo rather
think it is. We think that the making
of good butter is skilled labor and that
it is worth moro than ten cents an hour
Can any of our readers tell what it costs
them to board a man, or what S20 per
monlh and board renlly menns? This
may seem foreign lo the aubject but it
is really not. Tho wbolo qucation of
the cost of buttor-making depends on
tho coat of labor per hour on the farm
and whethor butter-roaking is worth
any more than othor farm work. We
hopo that somo ono elee can hclp to
solvc this problem.

Current Comment.
Oats. There ia a alow buaineaa doinfr,
with the market rather eaaier aa a whole.
Few oats corae ln that boII ahove 21jc, while
about 25c covera No. 2 clipped white. Low
ergradu oata are dull.
Potatoes. Receipta have been lnrger lor
the paat week and include a cargo of about
5,000 buahela ChenanRoea. Demand has
been only moderate and there has been no
inaterial change in pricea.
Chkesk. Keeelpta for export 18,005
boxes. There haa been no inaterial change
In the condition of the market iluring the
past week. Stocks are light and tlrmly
held, but demand ia very moderate.
Coun There Ib a alow demand for corn,
and values have worked down aomewhat
from laat woek. At the cloae buyera are
meeting thelr immediate needa at about 31c
for ateamftr yellow on track bilied throngh,
with No. 3 and ateamer about ic lesa. No
grade is nomlnal.
Bdtteb. There haa been a conaiderable
increaao in receipta this week, while trade
haa been very quiet, and pricea have been
ruling eaaier cloaing a good atrong cent
lower than a week ago. Strictly extra fresh
Vermont and New Hanipabire creamery ia
attll in limited aupply and aelllug falrly at
twenty-two centa.
Flook. The tone of trade haa been very
bIow in all departmenta of the market, with
only a hand-to-uiouth buaineaa doing. Val
uea have not materlally changed, but the
call ia ao light that it ia hard work to eatab
liah a quotation on any grade. Wheat ad
vaucea one day and ia back the next, ao
that not much can be baaed on the coat of
wheat.
Eaas. Receipta have continued light for
the paat week and a very largo proportlon
have been refrigeratora and fall held.
(Jholce freah stock haa been ln light 8upply,
and with anything like the usual demand,
wo ahould have a very ahort and firm mark
et. Uut buyera have been holding off and
the aalea have been coudned to amall lots
for immediate use.
