Mules on a Fruit Farm. 
T IIE two teams of mules shown below 
are used on a fruit farm in Wayne 
County, New York. They are lively fel¬ 
lows, and have frequently succeeded in 
harrowing 44 acres of orchard in one day. 
Of course this means a wide harrow, a 
sharp walk and no chance to stop and 
talk to the neighbors over the fence; 
but the mules keep going and attend to 
the only business they have, which is that 
of doing their duty. There are many men 
in the world who might take lessons from 
these mules. The horse absorbs most of 
the poetry, and the gasoline engine ap¬ 
peals strongly to the imagination, but the 
in seven days in an official test. Here was 
a cow grown on the farm, producing 22 
to 2.‘> pounds milk every six hours, and 
making five pounds butter a day on foods 
four-fifths of which were grown on the 
farm. Iler ration consisted of silage 
twice daily, beets twice daily, all the 
Timothy and Alfalfa hay she would eat, 
and only 14 pounds bought feed a day. 
This record was so extraordinarily high in 
butter fat, superintendent Gardiner of the 
Holstein Association promptly sent an 
assistant to the tester in charge, and 
ordered a retest, as is usually done where 
the record is above the average. Hut he 
went further—the general supervisor of 
Motive Power on a Wayne County (N. Y.) Fruit Farm. 
mule in his quiet way gets there without 
making any particular fuss or laying 
claim to a long pedigree, or anything else 
except the ability to work. There ought 
to be more mules on our Eastern farms. 
Milk Making in New York. 
S INCE I wrote you the note regarding 
the advisability of milk making farm¬ 
ers husbanding their resources by building 
up their industry in a more concrete form, 
and quoted the rather reckless manner in 
which we Orange County dairymen are 
sending our milk money away for supplies 
that we ought to produce ourselves, I 
have received several letters on the sub¬ 
ject which give the impression that I 
wish to build a stone wall around the 
county, and seek for it favors denied 
others in the open market. One reminds 
me of the Orange County milk war, an¬ 
other that when peace comes in Europe, 
foreign condensed milk will once again 
flow into this country, undersell American 
condensed milk and gradually absorb a 
market that will have reached a value of 
thirty millions by that time. T tried to 
make my meaning clear, and do not see 
any reasons for these interpretations. I 
know that a perishable food product sells 
high or low, according to the rule of sup¬ 
ply and demand that governs trade. As 
to the competition in condensed milk, it 
is to be hoped the next administration | 
will see the wisdom of placing a tariff on 1 
condensed milk imported into this coun¬ 
try, equal to the difference in the cost of 
labor and raw milk as between our own 
and foreign countries. 
T wish to point out that we farmers 
are selling our milk on the basis of a 
25-cent dollar and buying our meat, but¬ 
ter, stock and food stuffs, on the basis 
of a 100-cent dollar; this is a poor busi¬ 
ness method. If no plan for community 
butter making can be devised, each must 
do for himself; tin* same with the family 
meat supply. Home-grown stock cuts 
down the volume of the milk check, but 
there is no direct outlay for cattle. Forage 
is equally as productive of milk as bought 
grain, therefore it should, in the light of 
business economy, be substituted where- 
ever possible. Under this plan less milk 
competition, and the part 
command the full retail 
it has diminished the buy¬ 
ing at retail prices of other products. 
Business called me to Fairmont Farms, 
the great Holstein farm of John Arf- 
inann, at Middletown, one day last week. 
I saw there a great example of home pro¬ 
duction of cows and cow feed. The five 
year old cow. Pontiac Calamity, had just 
completed a record of ?,o..‘!0 pounds butter 
lists quietly dropped in and watched the 
boys at their work. Fairmont Pontiac 
Calamity, true to the Arfmann traditions 
and in honor of her critical audience, 
promptly produced more butter fat in this 
period than she had ever done before, and 
the supervisor congratulated Mr. Arf¬ 
mann on owning the greatest cow he had 
ever seen tested. When a man can get 
the maximum yield out of a cow with 
almost all home-grown stuff, we who suc¬ 
ceed in getting only the minimum yield 
need not hesitate to do so.
