When shipments were interrupted by the war, it was estimated
that there was enough Potash on hand in the United States to pro
vide two and three per cent Potash in mixed fertilizers for this
spring's trade. Some manufacturers had more than enough for
these percentages.
Since then minor sources of Potash have been fully utilized, and
additional shipments from the usual source are still being received.
The supply is below normal, but this need not prevent farmers
securing some Potash in their fertilizers, nor should it lead farmers
to decide not to use fertilizers.
There is no reason to return to the out-of-date goods without
Potash, although some authorities may try to "wish" them on us.
We have not used enough Potash in the past. The largest annual
import of Potash was only one-seventieth of the Potash taken from
tht soil by our 1914 com crop nnd only one-fifteenth of the Potash lost
every year in drainage water.
Spring crops use from two to ten times as much Potash as Phos
phoric Acid. Get as much Potash in the fertilizer as possible. A
few firms are offering to furnish from four to ten per cent.
There is no substitute for Potash, It may be harder to get just
now, but POTASH PAYS.

MARKETING EGGS
Forty-five million dollars a year is
the annual egg loss of the country
due to faulty methods of handling on
the farm where eggs are not collecteo
frequently and marketed regularly.
Because nests are not kept clean and
through allowing males to run wltn
the hens in the warm months after
the breeding season. A fertile eg
will start to hatch or develop the em
bryo if kept at a temperature above
80 degrees. If kept at a temperature
100 degrees or above for three or four
days blood will form. From this it
can be seen that in the hot summer
time it is essential to gather the eggs
once, or better twice a day. Keep
them in a cool place and market thei..
once, and still better twice a week.
Keep the nests clean and provide otn.
nest for each tour hens, urocerymen
keeping eggs on display in the hot
summer time? find in three or foiu
days that the eggs spoil. Such eggs
are known as "heated eggs". If maTo
do not inn with the hens the eggs a re
lict fertile and these blood rings o
not appear.
The advantages of infertile eggs
for the market are: The eggs do not
iiateh, do not develop germs, with
stand he:it, stand shipment well, easi
ly' preserved, slow to decay, best rt
cold storage, cost less, male birds not
required, and are produced just as of-
on as fertile eggs.
A careful study of preventable
'osses on the fa mi shows the follow
:ng: 2 per cent hiss on account of be
ing dirty; 2 per cent on account of
breaks: 5 per cent on ncemmt of chick
development: ." per cent on account of
shrink or rjncr held: 2'i per cent on
account of being rotten: '-j per cent
on account of mould or bad flavor.

(Prepared by the fnlt.-.l Stat-, Depart- I 0f the largest number of farmers is
M, J7i Af:k'"lturB-) , the creamery. This furnishes a con-
f,r ,? L f heun butter from the L tant d,.mand for c w?ther ,
Z ". . " excl'a"d large or small quantities. There are
fo, groceries at the country store. On three ways of gerti cream to th(J
packages, and Irregular supply, the
prices received for this butter are very
low. Bulletins explaining how tho
housewife can make good butter and
how to put it into attractive packages
may be obtained without cost by ap
plying to the department of agricul
ture, Washington. 1. C.
Purchasers of butter like to buy
from persons who can furnish it tlio
year round. Usually the market for
farm butter is oversupplied (lining the
summer season. This is because cows
generally freshen in the spring and
thus furnish a greater supply of butter
throughout the summer, when grass
and green feed are abundant, than at
any other time of the year. For thia
reason the price of butter is lowest in
summer and highest in winter. To
take advantage of these conditions
farmers should have their rows fresh
en in the full: this would tend to
equalise the supply of butter through
out the year.
In many cases no great effort Is
made to find a good market for the
farm butter. Too often nearby gro
cery stores nre regarded as the only
market possibility. Hoarding houses,
women's clubs, hotels and restau
rants, and private families, not only
in the home towns but in surrounding
towns, should be canvassed and a sam
ple of the butter exhibited. In this
way a good market for farm butter
may be secured ff the butler is of
good quality and can be supplied reg
ularly. The frequency of delivery will de
pend upon the demand of the trade.
MARKET BUTTER IN
Often the farmer or some member of
his family can without inconvenience
deliver the butter to t fie purchasers.
When those who have butter to si 11
can not deliver it to distant purclias
us they should investigate th.- oppor
tunities offered by the par-.el post
service.
Cream obtained by runninj; the.
warm whole milk through a cream
H-parnter is a viy enmenient form
i Mi-.ich to market the product of
cows. Less equipment and labor are
required for tins method than if but
ter is made.
For handling r":nn it is nerssary
to have a separator, shipping cans',
some appliances l r heating water to
wash utensil, and some means for
cooling the cream.
Cream if not pre perl y taken care of
Is easily spoiled. Directions for tak
ing the proper care of milk and cream
are described in a circular which is
sent free by the department of agri
culture. Since the fat is the most valuable
part, cream is usually sold according
to the pounds of fat it contains. For
determining the percentage of fat In
cream the Pabcock test, which is a
simple process, 1b used. Small sam
ples of cream are tested and the per
centage of fat shown is multiplied by
the weight of the cream from which
the, sample is taken. For example, if
a sample of cream from a can con
taining 40 pounds Is found to test 25
per cent, the pounds of butterfat are
found by multiplying 40 by 0.25,
which Is ten pounds. The persons
buying the cream generally do the
sampling and testing.
Hotels, restaurants, railroad eating
houses, soda fountains, and ice cream
manufactories offer markets for fresh
sweet cream. Such markets require
a high class product of uniform qual
ity and a dependable supply delivered
at regular intervals. This makes It
necessary for farmers who supply
such markets to have good transporta
tion facilities.
The market for cream within reach

A toad of Cream at a Southern Creamery, j
creamery or shipping point:
1. Each farmer may haul his own
cream.
2. Farmers in a community may
take turns in hauling their cream.
3. A man may be employed to haul
all the c-rtatn regularly and each farm
er may pay for this service according
to t lie amount of cream he sells.
The t!,ird method Is on the same
principle as the rural free delivery of
mail matter. I'nder this system the
hauler at regular intervals comes to
the farmer's door, gets the cream, and
takes it to the creamery or shipping
point. The cream is weighed, sam
pled, and poured into a carrying can
in the wagon. The samples and rec
ords of weights are sent to the cream
ery. Routes may be established close
to the creamery, and the cream deliv
ered direct, or they may be estab
lished at distant points and the cream
delivered to a central station for ship
ping lo the creamery. Sttbroutes may
radiate from points on the main route
ami thus cream can be collected from
a wide area.
In coninimiiUes in which Interest In
selling cream is Just being aroused
nnd where there is not cream enough
produced to pay for having it collected
each day. the cream can be kept from
day to day and collected twice a week
In winter and three times In summer.
WhtTe this Is practiced the farmers
must use ice to keep the cream as cold
as possible, or place the cans in spring
or well water. I'nless extra care is
taken to produce the cream in ihe
most cleanly manner, and unless it is
ATTRACTIVE PACKAGES
Kept thoroughly cold at all times, this
method is not advisable.
The- shipping of cream compels the
fanner lo have a separator. The cot
ot the separator is often discouraging
to the man who has only two r three
cow:;, nnd who, but for this expense,
could mII a small cmeant of cream.
This, however, need not prevent the
purchase of :t yeparaior, as some com
panies sell iheir machines for a small
cash pan;e!it, the remr.int'er to be
paid in niorthly or liimcnthiy install
ments. This enables the farmer to let
the cews pay for the separate:-.
Again, in the ease of several farm
ers living near one another, one sepa
rator, ct nt ra'.ly located, can be used
by all. Tho central separator offers
a splendid opportunity for land
owners to encourage their tenants
to keep cows. Even if the tenants
have only small quantities of milk, it
svill bring more money in the form of
cream than if the milk were churned
nnd the butter sold. Carrying the
milk to the separator Is also less trou
ble than making the butter.
In sections where cream can be mar
keted, routes operated In some such
way as described are to be commend
ed, provided the cream Is produced
and handled properly, as they enable
the farmer to procure a steady cash
income from his cows by providing a
market at his door
Early Start for Strawberries.
Strawberry plants, like fruit trees,
should be set at the earliest possible
moment in spring. The variety select
ed should be one that has proved good
In your locality; if you experiment
with new varieties let it be on a small
scale. Remember, too, that the vari
ety recommended as a good shipper is
not the best for home use. Some of
the most delicious berries are too soft
to stand shipping, but cannot be ex
celled for home consumption.
Incubators Always Ready.
Incubators can be kept always la i
hatching order, but not the heo, I
