1 BUSINESS in OK. ^ - Successful Crops and Big Yields Help the Railway. The remarkable fields that are re ported of the wheat crop of Western Canada for 1915 bear out the esti mate of an average yield over the three western provinces of upward of 25 bushels per acre. There is no portion of that great west of 24,000 square miles in which the crop was not good and the yields abundant. An American farmer who was induced to place under cultivation land that he had been holding for five years for speculative purposes and higher prices, says that he made the price of the land out of this year’s crop of oats. No doubt, others, too, who took the advice of the Department of the Interior to cultivate the unoccupied land, have done as well. But the story of the great crop that Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta produced this year is best told in the language of the railways in the added cars that it has been necessary to place in commission, the extra trains required to be run, the increased ton nage of the grain steamers. It is found that railway earnings continue to improve. The C. P. R. earnings for the second week of October showed an increase of $762,000 over last year, the total tyeing only $310,000 below the gross turnings of the corresponding week if 1913, when the Western wheat crop made a new record for that date. The increase in C. P. R. earnings for the corresponding week of that year was only $351,000, or less than half of the increase reported this year. The grain movement in the West within the past two weeks has taxed the re sources of the Canadian roads as never before, despite their increased facilities. The C. P. R. is handling 2,030 cars per day, a new record. The n rn tv _.1 . /v x» tv > . • XV. vvxv/ v->. XV. XV. tilt; aiou UIUA* ing new shipment records. The other day the W.

Records are “go- < ing by the board’’ in all directions this fall, due to Canada’s record crop. The largest Canadian wheat movement through the port of New York ever known is reported for the period up to October 15th, when since shipments of the new crop began in August, 4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded j for England, France and Italy. This is over half as much as was shipped of American wheat from the same port in the same period. And, be it remem bered, Montreal, not New York, is the main export gateway for Canadian k wheat.

SEEK Wins KID FOREIGN WOMEN REQUEST PRES IDENT TO URGE PEACE. BELIEVE NOW IS TIME TO ALT Delegation After Visiting Every War ring Nation, Think Conference Would Bring Results. Washington, D. C.—Efforts to win President Wilson’s support for a con ference of neutrals to initiate peace proposals in Europe reached a cli max when Mme. Rosika Schwimmer of Hungary, and Mrs. Ethel Snowden, wife of a member of the British par liament, called at the White house with a personal appeal and wrord that they had definite information that the majority of the belligerent nations would not turn deaf ears to the sug; gestions of a neutral gathering. The ladies talked with the president for some time, and went away much pleased over their reception, though the president had made no promises. The president was urged to initiate a peace conference or to at least sig nify that he would appoint a dele gate from the United States if anoth er neutral nation called one. He was told that women peace advocates who have visited every belligerent coun try' and neutral nation in Europe, be lieve from talks with officials abroad that practical results would follow. He also was informed that Henry Ford, the. Detroit manufacturer, here to co-operate with the women, had in his possession statements, some of them signed, from officials in some of the principal countries on both sides of the European conflict, to tho gen eral effect they would interpose no objection to the calling of a confer ence of neutrals to make peace pro posals. Mme. Schwimmer, who saw the president several months ago on the same subject and who was not opti mistic then, said that she believed the president was deeply impressed with the information laid before him. “The president made no definite promise,” she added, “but I think you will hear something from the White house before very long.” Women Revolt Against Pankhurst. London.—Many members of the Women’s Social and Political union have revolted against the leadership of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. A large ly attended meeting under the chair manship of Mrs. Elinor Penn Gaskell, unanimously approved a long indict ment against Mrs. Pankhurst. In this indictment those who attended the meeting charge that in using the name of the Women’s Social and Po litical union for political purposes, Mrs. Pankhurst has been acting with out authority, “the consent of the members not having been asked or obtained.” They blame her for failing to util ize the organization for some form of national service during the war. which service is said to be in accord ance with the desire of an over whelming majority of the members, the disregard of wiiich, coupled with Mrs. Pankliurst’s complete control of the funds and local machinery, has been virtually to disband and break up the Women’s Social Political union as a national organization.

Professor of Dairy Husbandry, University of Ne braska.) As a result of market investigations carried on by the United States dairy division some time ago to determine the quality of American butter, a large amount of the butter examined was found to be of inferior quality be cause of the poor cream from which it had been made. That such a state of affairs exists is bad enough but still more discouraging is the fact that dur ing the last few years the amount of poor cream has not decreased. When we stop to consider that the production of cream and butter is one of the leading industries of the nation, the one industry that serves and has served the American farmer well, not only in years of bountiful crops and high prices, but has been a faithful standby in years of crop failures aud hard times, it is evident that poor quality in the production of cream must mean a needless loss of thou sands. of dollars to the producers. Moreover, it gives foreign butter just the chance it would like to have to compete in our own markets. Although modern methods and ma chinery have done much to improve the quality of creamery butter, the most skillful buttermaking using the best of machinery cannot overcome the evil effects arising from the filthy methods followed by some cream pro ducers. < Frequent experiments have shown, that low temperatures will greatly re tard the growth of most germs and that cream quickly cooled will keep sweet much longer than when it is allowed to cool gradually. The prac tice of adding warm cream to cream that has been previously cooled is rec ognized as being extremely undesira ble because warm cream raises the temperature of the whole mass suffi ciently to start the dormant bacteria to activity, causing them to multiply rapidly, producing large amounts of acid and also undesirable fermenta tions before the cream is again cooled to a point where their growth is checked. Warm cream should be thor oughly cooled before it is added to the cold cream. From these facts it appears that the most practical means at the disposal of the dairyman for checking bacte rial action—the spoiling of cream—lies in the universal application of low tem perature's in handling the cream. The most satisfactory and practical means of securing these desirable results has been by the use of some form of cool ing tank. Recognizing the great importance of devising a cooling tank that will be at once cheap, practical, and efficient, the department of dairy husbandry of Ne braska in co-operation with Profs. G. L. McKay and F. W. Bouska of the American Creamery Butter Manufac turers' association have spent much time investigating this problem. An effort has been made to perfect a tank that would be both effective and con venient. Buch a tank must be sub stantially made of good insulating ma terial and able to stand up under hard usage. It must have a tight cover in order to prevent loss of efficiency due to exposure of the cooling water to the air. The pipe through which the cooling water enters should discharge l - near the bottom of the tank and the overflow near the top and at the op posite end and should be of such size that there will be no danger of water rising abdve the tops of the cans. With these general requirements in mind the committee, together with the co-operation of representatives of lo cal creameries, devised, constructed and experimented with a number of different kinds of tanks to determine their cost and efficiency. As a result the rectangular tank shown in Fig. 1 gave highly satisfac tory results. Later a round tank shown in Fig. II embodying the fea tures of the rectangular tank, was found to give satisfactory results and has the advantage of being constructed cheaper than would be possible for a rectangular tank. The committee is still working on a substantially built, well-insulated metal tank. Upon the recommendation of the committee the Association of Ameri can Creamery Butter Manufacturers adopted the round and the rectangu lar tanks as shown in above cuts as the official tanks of the association. This association has already taken steps to have these tanks manufac tured and distributed to parties inter ested at the lowest possible cost. To those desiring to build their own tanks plans and specifications will be fur nished by the American Creamery But ter Manufacturers’ association. lo sum up. it may be said that the quality of cream produced depends largely upon the conditions prevailing on the farm. Cleanliness is essential at every point. As some one has well said, “Clean cream, cool cream, rich cream are essential factors in cream production.” The responsibility, however, does not lie entirely with the farmer. The same care that must be exercised on the farm must be observe^ at the cream station and creamery. The cream sta tion must be provided with proper cooling facilities and the quarters used for the cream station must be sani tary, clean, and well ventilated, other wise the work and care of the dairy man count for naught. Again, material improvement must come through co-operation with the railways engaged in the hauling of cream, whereby at their junction points at leaf: shelter would be pro vided which would protect the cream from the sun when left on the plat form. Something, too, could undoubt edly be done towrard providing more sanitary and better cooled cars for use in shipping cream. In conclusion, permit me to say that I anticipate but little trouble in get ting the hearty and intelligent approv al of the farmers on this bad cream propaganda, if, along with this de mand, will come a cream price based strictly on grade. As long as the cream producer sees his indifferent neighbor producing poor cream and knows he receives the same price for it, it will be extremely difficult to con vince hir±t that quality really counts in the making of butter. As g mutter of fact; however, one should not lose sight of the fact that every additional can of good cream helps directly or indirectly the general average of the butter made as well as the price se cured for it.
