Enderby, B. C, March 8, 1917 AND WALKER'S W E E K L Y Vol. 10; No. 2; Whole No. ,454 Agricultural Experts Make Live Suggestions on Dairying and Stock Agricullural experts from thc Department at Victoria came in to the Okanagan last Saturday and addiessed , afternoon meetings at Grindrod and Enderby. Both meetings being held, at- the same hour, the crowd attending each was somewhat reduced, though at both meetings the number of interested farmers showed -an increase over similar meetings held in the past. The meeting at Grindrod was addressed by Dr. Knight, on live stock' ailments; Mr. E. Hogan on , the treatment of soil and crops, and Mr. Terry on poultry. The ' Enderby meeting was addressed by Mr." Waincko on dairying, and Mr. Hopkins, assistant live stock commissioner, on live stock. Mr. Hop- skills was simply substituting for Prof. J. A. McLean, who "was unable - to be present. - - Mr. Waincko is not a stranger to an Enderby audience, nor is he a stranger to the district. He knows lhc great-possibilities of the district for the fuller development of dairying, and his message to the farmers here was' one of certain encouragement and unshaken confidence. He said conditions here show certain improvement; the success of the creamery at "Armstrong, which makes a ready mar- kef for the cream output of the district, and the steady demand for the butter output, gives the dairyman, large and small, all they could wish for'in this respect. The next question, and a very important onc to his mind, is that of "quality." He said the dairymen of the Provinces to the east of us, Alberta and Saskatchewan, are better organized, and their creameries are ~1 argerVancnongcT~cstabl i sliecl VV\T a consequence they have learned the great importance of properly caring for and preserving the cream. No buttermaker can make first quality butler out of second or third quality cream. And it is in this respect that the creameries of these Provinces musl outstrip us if -we do not watch the cream and bring it up to first standard. The points emphasized by Mr. Waincko were, cleanliness���������������������������in thc milking, in thc stabling, and in lhc milkroom,���������������������������temperature at which the cream should be kept while wailing shipment to the ���������������������������creamery,-and. thc feeding of the milch cows. The importance of Ihe first condition���������������������������cleanliness���������������������������is he said, pretty well understood, but not so carefully adhered fo. The importance of thc second condition is possibly not as well understood as it should be. He impressed this point upon his hearers, that all cream should be cooled to 55 degrees and kept at this temperature while awaiting shipment. If this rule were adhered to, he said, there would seldom be any complaint heard about cream being in poor condition, cveni if lit were ke'pt three days or more. t He advocated strongly crejaknery sjhip.'me'nts %o' be made at least ever third day in cold weather, and every other day ���������������������������in the summer time. He advised against making lhe cream thin, as many do, in the vain hope of getting more for their output from the creamery. Hc said it was a great mistake. Thin cream goes sour more quickly than that of the proper quality, the shipper gets paid only for the butterfat it contains, and loses the milk which should have been skimmed off and fed on the farm. Keep, the skim- milk at home and feed it to the calves, the pigs or. the. chickens. The matter of feeding was of the greatest importance. Many cows are kept on the farm which do not pay simply because they are not sufficiently fed. Mr. Waincko gave it as his opinion that a great majority of the. dairy cows in B.C. are underfed. "It takes a certain amount of feed to keep the life iii the cow. We must feed more than the maintenance ration otherwise we' shall not get the hiilk supply. Properly feed, "any Tco\y kept; in the dairy herd"should average 20'pound of milk a^day for 300 days in the year. Cows that do not do" this are the ones to weed .out. . (< The speaker strongly encouraged the building-of-silos on< the- farm. Questioned-by hay��������������������������� men as to'why the silo{feed-was any better than tlie same grasses made into hay,"he said there was no difference in the amount of nouishment contained in the feed, but, owing to its succulence the cows relished -the silo feed and took more of it,- and it was in a condition to give moisture, to the animal and ' not require moisture for its assimilation,'therefor it was a better milk .producer than if the same were given, in the form of hay. He������������������said it was essential for the dairyman to have a silo or two, if he was going to. get what he should' out of his cows. The object should be to prepare "ZZ^oTZ:^ News (votes of Enderby. arid District. yet, hc was informed the farmers were not supporting their own organization, and he asked the question pointedly: "Why is this, men?" : Mr. Hopkins spoke strongly on the advisability of inaugurating the live stock competitions for thc boys and girls of thc district. He refeired to the excellent results obtained in oth-r localities ih the Province where these competitions are annuall held. Some of the best farm stock he had inspected in the Province was that, raised and cared for by the boys and girls. It requires but six boys or six girls to get a competition going, and the prizes are well worth, striving for, besides, it creates an" interest iri, this branch of Jhe farm which otherwise 'Would not be created.

ButterWrapper Parchment The Dominion law against the selling of butter without the words "Dairy Butter" or "Creamery Butter"���������������������������as the case may be���������������������������printed oil'lhe:butter-wrap,.is a blessing in disguise to the average farmer. In the first place, if his Butter wrappers are neatly printed with his name and the brand of the butter on the label, the storekeeper can readily sell the butter at 5c a pound more than hc can get for butter wrapped in paper that is not printed, and the butler-maker gets the advantage in 5c a pound more for bis butter from the merchant. It is the duty of every butter maker to comply with the law in this matter. Some butter makers have only a cow or two, and make so little butler that it does not appear to them that they can afford to have their butter wraps printed. They do not like the idea of having 500 or 1000 butter wraps on hand. To accommodate this class of butter makers, The Press has printed up a quantity of "Custom" Butter Wraps. They are printed with the words "Fresh Dairy Butter" but do not bear the name of the maker. However, these wrappers fill the requirements of the law governing this point, and can be bought in small quantities at the rate of 65c a hundred in 100 or 50 lots. If you do not require butter wraps in larger lots, take these wraps in lesser quantities.

Three days were spent by these gentlemen going into the question of a joint rate by which the Government lines from outlying territory, were to bc given connection with the Okanagan Telephone Company's system. As a result of that interview a basis was arrived at for an agreement covering interchange of business between the Government and the Okanagan Telephone Company lines. The proposed tariff agreed upon was incorporated in the following agreement and submitted to the ^Government superintendent of telephones on June 5th, accompanied by,a letter in which Manager Dobie said: "In order to.expedite the matter I am submitting our arrangement in agreement form as it has been discussed and approved between our two selves.

THE ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY- Thursday, March & 1917 AstaVM YEAST MAKES PERFECT BREAD Sacrifices Must Be Made of Money and Comforts to Give to the State One of the most valuable of recent literary contributions to the great cause is a booklet by Professor Stephen Leacock, entitled "National Organization for War." In this booklet, Dr. Leacock makes an urgent call for national thrift and national saving. He attacks in vigorous style the evils of extravagance at this crisis in Canada's history, and by trenchant phrase ahd apt illustration disposes of various common errors in regard to individual spending of money during "war time. This pamphlet was originally published by Dr. Lea- himself, but the National Ser- were so convinced of its value in connection with their t'hrift campaign that they have had it republished and have undertaken its distribution. Copies may be obtained by writing to the Secretary of the National Service Board at Ottawa, or by applying to the National Service Director, at Victoria- " 'Business as usual,' shouted some especial idiot at the outset cock V vice Board Girls sometimes flirt with homely men* merely from force of habit.

Every man, today, who consumes any article or, employs any service not absolutely necessary, aims a blow at his country. Save every cent. Live plainly. Do without everything. Rise early, work hard, and content yourself wilh a bare living. . . . Every cent of money than can be gathered up by national thrift should be absorbed by national taxes and national loans'. Our present taxes are, for war-time, ridiculously low as far as all people of comfortable, or even of decent, means are concerned. And they are made with one eye on the supposed benefit i to industry.

That of greatest importance is an advance by the British on the Somme front, where the enemy has given up several miles of trenches, and two villages have been evacuated. This retirement is spoken of in the German reports as a strategic movement, but ^military men characterize it as a triumph for General Haig's new tactics. The dominating artillery of the British is accomplishing now what the costly frontal attacks of the infantry accomplished before, and the objects of mc British drive are being achieved with a minimum of loss. The olher movement, which, while having no direct bearing on any of the real fighting fronts,-has, nevertheless, great bearing on thc whole, is the advance of a British force beyond Kut-el-Amara, where they are pressing' the Turk forces hard, and have recaptured most of the territory evacuated to the Turks j last year at the fall of lhis now famous point. of the war," writes the professor. | ket and super-market rates, but "The cry was like to ruin us.

They have a curious bent of mind who think that the task of a Prime Minister in war time is one which Sir Robert would hold from any other reason than a sense of duty. PRICE LIST OF SEEDS For thc information of members of the Farmers' Institute, Secretary Chas. W.

Certificates of these denominations are obtainable on application to any bank or postal money order office.
