Cream City Dry Arsenate of Lead 
Contains approximately 33% arsenic oxide, therefore has maximum 
killing power. Due to its fineness, is easily and uniformly sprayed, 
sticks longer to the plants and therefore gives the highest efficiency and 
economy. 
Cream City Nitrate of Soda is a fertilizer which gives the plants an 
early start and supplies the necessary nitrogen. 
Cream City Lime Sulphur 33 Beaume.

acres, but for several seasons past 
the frosts have ruined their pros- 
pects until there is a waning in- 
terest in the project. The famous 
Bitterroot Valley, the home of the 
McIntosh and the Transcendent 
Crabapple, is practically out of 
the game, and in a conversation 
with one of the largest nursery 
men in Michigan yesterday, I 
learned that the planting of trees 
in Michigan the last three years 
had not supplied the losses. 
At Watsonville, California, the 
great Bellflower district, owned 
and farmed principally by Slavs, 
this, 1916, crop of apples was sold 
on the trees early in the season at 
20 cents per box on the trees, and 
you can readily see that they will 
not grow Bellflowers very many 
years at that rate, and, in the face 
of all this need we worry over the 
question of overproduction? May 
we not better bend our efforts to- 
ward production, better produc- 
tion, better grading, better meth- 
ods of marketing, better varieties 
of better fruit, so that we can sup- 
ply the demand when the result 
of no planting begins to be felt? 
And, if our secretary does not suc- 
ceed in digging out the Farm 
Orchards, see that he improves 
them so that they will not menace 
the commercial fruit growing? 
Two Darkies were enemies and 
had fought several times, but 
never to a finish, and it was de- 
cided by their friends the trouble 
should be settled once and for all 
and that this time they must fight 
it out, so they were instructed by 
their seconds that when either was 
willing to quit just say “suffi- 
cient.” The fight started and 
lasted until both were exhausted. 
They leaned against the barn to 
rest and then went at it again, and 
finally, about ready to drop, one 
gasped, “Sufficient,” and Sambo 
said, “Praise de Lord, I’se been 
trying for over an houah to think 
of dat word.” 
Apple Butter Making. 
C. R. Tuttle, Baraboo. 
Of all the products of the apple, 
Apple Butter pleases t'he most 
people, especially the children. 
A small boy was overheard to 
say, “I like apple butter better 
than butter.” When asked why, 
he replied, “because you let me 
put it on thicker.” 
This delicacy is much in use in 
the older apple growing sections 
of the country, and becomes al- 
most a necessity wherever known. 
Apple Butter is easily made and 
as inexpensive as any other apple 
product. 
In the mill 1 use good, sound 
apples, after washing them in 
clean water, they are run through 
the apple grinder, then placed in 
the cooker with six to eight gal- 
lons of fresh cider for four 
bushels of apples. 
This is cooked by steam about 
forty minutes, or until cooked to 
a thin sauce, then passed through 
the colander, which removes all 
stems, skins and cores. The 
sauce is then returned to the 
cooker and one quart of heavy 
boiled cider, one pound of sugar 
and one-half ounce of cinnamon, 
or other spices is added to each 
gallon of sauce, which is then 
cooked to a consistency to suit. 
About one-half sweet and sour 
apples oi- all varieties of apples 
mixed, make the best apple but- 
ter. Spices should be added after 
the cooking is done.
