One was found frozen on Dewey ave- nue at the time of the Rathbun fire. Isn’t it about time the hydrants were tested? Watch Stein’s Figures. City Clerk George Stein has agreed to furnish the Pioneer with a series of tables which he is taking from tae report of the fiscal year which he is now compiling. Watch these and read them every day. See where your tax money is going and see what savings the council is making. These are facts and figures which hit the pocketbook. Money From Cows, Some time ago the Pioneer -pub- lished figures on the cost of keeping cows which stated that it cost $95 per year to keep a cow and that she must give 3,200 pounds of milk to be sold at six cents a pound before she would make a profit on milk only for the owner. This is true but an er- roneous idea seems to have come to several farmers from the figures. The average farmer cannot sell his milk for six cents a pound but-he can keep cows that will bring in at least $100 a year from the butter fat and calf they produce and the five pigs they raise. Furthermore the farmer with but five to ten cows can do the work himself, can .raise the feed on the farm and will have to carry only the butter or cream to market. The figures on the cost of keeping a milk cow one year, previously giv- en in the Pioneer are as follows: One ton of bran ..$25.00 Three tons ensilage ... .. 16.00 11-2 tons of hay ... . 15.00 200 pounds oil meal. 3.50 Care—10c per day.. . 36.50 Total ....cocvvvvennnans $965.00 The average farmer, it will be seen, can buy from himself the care, ensilage and hay. At ten cents a day for care, $10 per ton for wild hay, dnd -$5 ‘per ‘ton for'ensilage he is paying himself” double "the actual dosts.” The bran’and ‘corn’ meal can bo elimiiated from the feed and po- galqeé, n{angies, rutabagas and oth- er root crops mixed with some grain used as a substitute. By using the root feed, the farmer can raise everything on the farm. Corn can be fed from the stack instead of as silage where there are not enough cows to warrant the expense of a silo. If any farmer will get six good cows that will net him $100 per year in butter fat, calf- and pigs raised from: the skim milk—and such cows can be obtained—he can make a cash income for himself of $50 per month, at least half of which will be profit over and above what it will cost him to raise the feed and do the work. His cows will be hiring him to farm for them, milk them and care for them at top prices and for cash. Summer pasture here is cheap and can often be obtained for moth- ing. A farmer ‘can figure the man- ure ‘as worth the cost of caring for the cow. Down in Wisconsin, where land is high, the farmers figure they cannot keep over twenty-two cows on 160 acres and prefer twenty. For every _cow they keep five pigs to which they Jim Hill, in Minnesota, keeps six to a cow. These Wisconsin dairy men_have land that is poor for roots so that they must raise grain for feed, but they raise everything they feed and so avoid hauling ‘and’ other cost charges They sell - theilr. cream to the creameries, and their pork and veal to the commission = houses. = They keep their best heifers to improve the herd. On 160 acres they figure to bank, and the majority of them do, $2,000 a year as net profit. On eighty acres they will bank -about $700 by using:6ight cows. That {hay' do. Pankithls mouey 1s abown by the|\ fact that the rate of interest in the ‘Wisconsin dairy section is lower by half than in Northern Minnesota. Our state experimental farms have shown us that & cow producing 6,000 pounds of milk and 200 pounds of butter fat per year is within the reach of every painstaking farmer. By constant watching of records and care by breeding the herd can be built up. . The cows are money mak- ers and land improvers. Farmers in Northern Minnesota can raise cream better than they can raise anything else. There is al- ways a cash market for butter fat. There is always a cash market for pork and veal.. Feed can be raised at a low cost. The land is a natural ‘root soil and will also grow first- class corn. The farmers in this country must co-operate with the creamery men to get and keep thelr market and must get in good cows. It pays Wisconsin; this country is better and will pay better. Reduce Cost of Reading. There are two clubs in New York that are designed to reduce the cost of fresh reading matter. One is com- posed of women who contribute 25 cents a month and have the use of all the best magazines, which - are| Jater sent to a hospital. The other buys new books for the same price o each member and the books are dis- posed of by a lottery systém, although each member gets one. There are bundreds of ways to save money, Naturally Frightened. Decayed and fungold wood is also “fox fire.” On one occasion some of this was used for a camp fire, and many of the broken fragments were soattered over the ground where the men were sleeping. The fire died out during the night and one of the party awoke, and in his fright woke the rest, who were equally terrified, be- lleving that they were lying among live coals. —— Uncovered Family Group. An interesting discovery was re cently made in Edinburgh in the course of the demolition of the old church bufldings of a parish church in Roxburgh Place. A vault contain ing the remains of Lady Glenorchy, g member of the .Breadalbane family, and the founder of the original church, was laid bare. Cheerful Men Succeed.

Waggoner, Service Bureau Manager, The harvest which has just passed witnessed a greater lack of farm help than perhaps any harvest that we have known. The cry for farm labor- ers from the Neorthwest, megaphoned over the entire country, lost none of its intensity when heard at short range. Farmers boarded trains at the station offering $3.00, $3.50 per day and in some cases more for farm help. Their solicitations were met by the stare and dumb silence of the passen- gers. - At - this point one is apt to ask “why,” if such is the case, and there seems to be no doubt but that it is— is the farm help problem growing greater year after year, There are many reasons for this—some are lured away from -the farm by the attrac- tions of the city, while others turn their backs to the farm because of the drudgery and long hours they are re- quired to work on the ordinary farm. It is right and proper that the farmer should work' long hours during certain seasons of the year in order to save the crop, but we find the largest per- centage do not stop at this point, but pride themselves in early rising, say- ing nothing, however, of the work actually accomplished. We do not wish to discountenance early rising, but that in itself will not be produc- tive of resvlts. We often hear the old adage, “the early bird catches the worm”—this success was not neces- fiESOMEI.Y: ‘The only Bakmg Powder made frm Royal Grape Crem_ ‘of Tartar -Makes deliclous home-baked foods of maxlmum quality at minimum sarily due to early rising but to know- to machine i article 15 com: pleted. 1f the method practiced on many farms were in vogue. in factor- fes, either the price of machines | would be ' higher or the factories PurRE | CHICAGO . ing where to go; in other words, the farmer. should’ combine with early rising—early and eareful planning. Just recently the writer was on an Towa farm where a new silo had been ereeted. It was diseouraging to note that the silo-had been built eight or ten feet from the side of the horse barn, in fact, it was 200 or 300 feet from the place where the silage was to be fed, viz: the cattle barn; in other weords, a large percentage of the silage would have to be carried 200 or 800 feet during feeding time. The energy and time expended as a result of. carelessly building. the silo at this point can be placed on the “loss” side of the ledger. It is not infrequently the case that it takes fifteen or twenty minutes to carry the corn for feeding the horses, and even longer to feed the hogs and other enimals, but if the corn crib were properly located it ‘would save two-thirds to three-fourths of this work. By the proper arrangement of farm buildings -hours of time and scores oil miles of fravel can be saved. Tt is; much-easier and usually takes no more time to unload aload of cornor grain in a crib or bin in the barn or hog house than it would to unload it at a corn crib standing several hundred feet from either. 1t we were to visit a modern plant that “is* manufacturing machines for the farm or other machinery we wonld find that every casting and every part had a certain route’through the works.
