Extract, Front Bulletins N o. 18, Published October, 18U2, Continued. Com pure live Remits of Butter and Cheeso- linking. With the very best appliances by the use of ice for settling the milk, or a machine separator, twenty to twenty- five pounds of milk will yield one pound of salted butter. By the ordinary methods that are available to every farmer, twenty-five pounds of milk are required for one pound of butter. The refuse or by-product, buttermilk, will be equr.1 to the original weight of milk, less the amount of butter yield. To bo more exact it mav be affirmed that un der ordinary methods, such as prevail among domestic butter makers, twen- ty-flvo pounds of average milk will yield one pound of buttsr, and twenty-four pounds of butter milk. Now for the results in cheese: The universal rule in the cheese districts of the country is to allow ten pounds of cured cheese, or about eleven pounds of green cheese, as the yield of one hun dred pounds of milk, leaving a by-pro duct of eighty-nine pounds of whey. To reduce tr the same terms, let It bt stated as follows: „ BUTTZB. BUTTXRXnjC 100 pounds milk will yield 4 lbs. 00 lbs. CHKF.SB. WHXT. or 100 lbs. milk will yield lOlba so lbs. In other words the same quantity of milk required to yield one pound of but ter, by ordinary methods, will yield 2 if pounds of cheese. The coat o! produ cing the milk, as we have already seen, in either case is exactly the same, since there id no essential difference in the treatment until the milk is ready to be manipulated. Tho cost of making the cheeso, considering the amount of In- labor, fixtures required, etc., will prob ably be about the raine, as it will coat about the same to make pounds of cheese as it will cost to make one pound of butter. The advantages of making cheeso may be stated as follows: 1. Cheeso may be made the year around without any expensive artificial appliances to control the temperature. 2. Cheese will keep longer, improving with age to a certain point, and there fore need not be forced on the mar ket. 8. Tho making of cheeso adds to the list of products, and thus helpa to di versify industry. 4. It meets a domestic want hitherto wholly supplied by purchase. It would he misleading to say that there is more profit in one than in the other. In fact it is a question upon which practical dairymen in districts where both cheese and butter are made arc divided, as is proven by tho fact that some prefer to make oheese, while others prefer to make butter; and one farmer will sometimes sell his milk to a cheese factory, while at other times he will send it to the creamery. It is a matter of fact, however, that genarally the farmers of an entire dls- triot, containing thousands of cows, will patronize cheese factories almost excessively, while those of another dis trict will send their milk to the cream eries; It is true, also, that in nearly every cheese dairy more or less butter Is mads dally dUrlpg the cheese season proper, i. e., from May until November. This Is done by skimming more or leBS of tha cream from the milk and converting it into butter, the remainder of the cream nnd all of the milk being made into ’■half-skim” cheese. Many factories thvs make cheese and butter daily dur ing the summer, and butter, only, or neither during the winter. ’In Georgia it is perfectly practicable to raakecheese or butter, or both, during the entire year. Cheese-Making at the Station* On the 80th of May the cheeso dairy was put in operation, using the milk from twelve cows, as already stated. Mr. Wing was somewhat nervous and apprehensive, at the beginning of op erations, as was quite natural, consid ering that he was about to inaugurate the business of cheese-making in an altogether untried climate. It vraa prophesied by friends that he would find the climate and other natural con ditions in Georgia altogether unfavora ble to cheese-making. It was insisted that “full cream" cheese could mot be made here in the summer times, that the climate was too hot, the air too moist, etc. These discouraging predic tions and warning hut illustrate the er roneous ideas in regard to our summer climate that prevail generally in the north. Mr. Wing came to the'station in March; he commenced tt> make cheese in May; he has continued to make cheese right through tb,e heat of summer, and nothing but full cream cheese. Ho has had but one or two partial fa.lures, such as are occasional in dairies everywhere, hut in no man ner connected with tho weather or the climate. ' As the weather grow warmer and the cheese commenced to ripen and was finally offered for sale all doubts and apprehensions were entirely dis- jelled, and he is now of the opinion, so Mr as the experience of one entire sum mer season can determine, that the cli mate and other natural conditions of Georgia, are fully equal, and in some' respects superior, for cheese dairying, to those of Ohio or’ New York. During the first period (of a few days only) of aoubt, the cheeses were made proof against a long hot summer by arts known to the cheese-maker, and some of them are still on had not yet ripe and mellow. It has been impossi ble to supply even the local demand for “Experiment Station Cheese,” with the limited facilities at command. The rocers and private citizens of Griffin ..ave manifested an eagerness to buy at fifteen cants a pound, by the whole cheese, that can only be attributed to the superior quality of the cheese sup plied them in limited quantities. A few cheeses have been snipped to dif ferent points in the strte, and so far as heard from the quality has given entire satisfaction.* •Since tbs publication of Bulletin NodBsTer- nsce sample cheeses have been sent to Ohio and Wisconsin to be tested by noted experts, who pronounced the same to be of excellent quality.

We did make an Incidental test of “Florida Soft Phosphate,” last year; but it was by no means an elaborate, or exhaustive, or conclusive test, and. the experiment was confined to cow peas. The circu lars emanating from the said firm, that I lmvc scon, lire misleading, if not al>- solrli'l' false, in some particulars. In deed it appears to be a deliberate effort to deceive the farmers. I send you .i copy of Bulletin No. 23, in which you ill see what was lcail.v said. Alsou >p; of Press Bulletin 12. brace the above was written I have received many similar letters of inquiry from farmers, in regard to “Natural Plant Food," some containing printed dodgers in which the statements in the foregoing letter occur. One. farmer sent a sample of the “N. P. F.” and a printed analysis of the same. I wish only to reiterate that this Station knows nothing of the “Natural Plant Food,” excepting as above stated, nor has any test of it ever been made by the Station. It rosy possibly prove of value as a ground phosphate rock, or “floats," with a small percentage of a cheap grade of potash salt. It is certainly not a com- jdete fertilizer. The agent referred to claims that it is based on “Florida Soft Phosphate.” That may be true—prob ably It Is—but it does not follow that it is any better, or even ns effective, as Soft Phosphate. In last year’s test of “Florida Soft Phosphate, in which.the latter was applied to only two out of fifty-one plats, and confined to cow peas, the results seemed to warrant Mr. Starnes (who conducted the test) in classing it as “promising." But that remark could only mean that it was promising as a source of phosphoric acid. This year the experimenta with F. 8. P. have been much more elaborate, and included also its application to cot ton. So far as the result- of these tests have become available by the harvest ing of the cow pea experiments, tho in dications do not sustain the promise of lastsenson. On sweet potatoes the re sults are more favorable, but they have pot yet been carefnlly studied. The cotton experiments are not yet availa ble. Graces fur Summer Suocosslon. W. Jj.

Munson, Den' icon, Tex., and all the rest from Bush A Son, A Meissner, Buabberg, Mo. Answer by Hugh N. .Starnes, Horti eulturist: I am glad to hnvo an oppor tunity to correct an erroneous impres sion quite generally prevailing in re gard to the special manures—socalled— prepared by raauufacturcrs of commer cial fertilizers and put ou the market and advertised ss infallible for the par ticular crops after which they are named. There aro lettuce fertilizers and cabbage fertilizers and cauliflower, and spinach and beet and onion and potato and turnip fertilizers—and so on through the entire catalogue of gar den truck. ” Now practical truckers know full well that there is littlo difference in the effect of one kind of ilicso fertili zers os compared with another, if used in anything like large quantities—and that is the only way it pays to use fer tilizers in tracking. A special fertili zer for turnips will produce equally its f od results for beets, and vice versa. special potato fertilizer will be found to do equally as well with onions, and vice versa. A special lettuce manure will produce line erupt of eublmge, and vice versa. As a rule there is little va riation in either tho guaranteed or as certained analysis of the various spe cial vegetable fertilizers, and the dlffer- onco exists chiefly in the name, by which the manufacturer hopes to reach a larger class of customers at prices higher than they ought to be—the pur chaser usually being willing to pay more for what he regards as a special preparation th»n ho would for a form ula for general use. Therefore, pin. as a rule, littlo faith to “special fertiUzcra" except where the character of the orops differs mate rially. Cabbngo and lettuce, for instance, do not greatly differ in their requirements ts both are strong feeders on nitrogen and to a great extent on potash also. Hence the following formula will do well for both. y Nitrogen 4 per cent. Phosphoric acid 8 per cent. Potash 7 per cent. • This may bo represented by the follow ing: 840 lbs. Nitrate of soda. 1180 “ Acid Phosphate. 280 “ Muriate of Potash. 3,000 “ Fully this quantity could be used with advantage per core, and no land should be employed for trucking pur poses that is not sufficiently filled with humus to admit of the cafe application of from three quarters to a ton of com mercial fertilizers per sere. Tho chemical ingredients mentioned esn be pnrohased from wholesale deal ers in fertilizers in tho principal busi ness centers of the state; but, if not readily obtainable, an approximate substitute for the formula given may be made at home by taking any good brand-of complete fertilizer and adding, fay 90 pounds kainlt and 1U pounds cotton seed meal to each 100 pounds of tha fertilizer. A complete standard fertilizer In Georgia will probably run at least 8 per cent of available phos phoric acid, 2 per cent of nitrogen nnd 1 per cent of potash. The addition of meal and kainlt as prescribed would produce a low-grade fertilizer analyzing about 4 per cent phosphoric acid, 8 }f per oent potash and something over 2 perepntof nitrogen. Double the quantity of this mixture will approximate in results tho higher grade formula previously given, in which nitrate of soda and muriato of potash were used, and whioh was in tended to contain 4 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 7 per cent potash. Thus, at comparatively small cost a fertilizer practically hs good ns tho heat special fertilizer advertised for cab, bage or lettuce may be obtained. , Rather than use a manipulutf-d/gootls it would perhaps he best to compound tho entire fertilizer at homo, prefera bly by tho use of nitrate of soda and On Jtsunry 1st the free wool clause of the new tariff b.ll goes into effect, and that means much loner prices lor wool dress goods.

For a potato or onion fertilizer use a formula yielding, say 3.78 per cent of nitrogen, ■ 8.80 per cent of phosphoric acid and 7.60 per cent of potash. Thi* would be represented by about: 25 lbs. nitrate of soda, 00 “ acid phosphate.
