Empire Prairie Items.

The weather for the past week has
been delightful, and farmers made good
Use of it. Corn has been most all
planted.
The Empire Base Ball Club played the
Mount Pleasant club 4 match game last
Saturday, and victory crowned the En-
pire boys. The Mount Pleasant club
was the challenging party, but they
could not come to time. Our boys have
new uniforms-red pants, white stock
ings and caps, white shirts, belts, &C.
and finer set of fellows are not to be
seen every day. The Savannah club
will likely hear from them soon.
The long-looked-for event came off or
Monday. Our worthy friend, Joseph
Ward.was married to Miss Mary Prince.
We had the pleasure of seeing the
twian, and will wish them u happy
journey through life.
We heard, the other day, of p way to
eXterminate the Colorado potato bug,
and to those who wish to avail them
selves of the secret. we will refer them
to Vest ManShip, of Empire.
\ strange freak of nature occurred
last week. A mare belonging to Oliver
Peters foaled two colts, one was Il mule

since died. This is Il fact, well authen-

Corn is now selling at 75c per bushel.

The meeting adjourned ut about one

perhaps "spik ed" his beer with Il little
recuperating fluid, which wrought a

this city buys more wheat from teams
than any other city in the west. In
the year 1872 their receipts by wagons
and sleds were little over two million
bushels the receipts Of 1873 will ex-
ceed those Of the former year at leas,
one half million bushels. The money
paid for this wheat is nearly all retained
in the country. consequently there is nc
scarcity ofmoney here as compared with
the Eastern States. I have not had

Butter Factories.

Just now factory butter, like factory
cheese, commands an extra price. In
butter factories, as in cheese factories,
a perior class of help is employed,
and we think the expenses to the patrons
are hghtened and the profits increased.
We find it so among our cheese facto-
ries, and no farmers wife who has once
been rid of cheese making would be
willing to return to the old method. II
would be Just the same with farmers
wives, if the farmers in the butter dis
tricts were to once adopt the factory
system of butter making, it is such a
relief to the family. And as the sales
are made oftener, there is the advantage
of always having ready money.
The same method of dividing ex-
penses and proceeds of the sale may be
employed in butter factories that is en-
plOyed in cheese factories or a compa-
ny might be formed to buy the milk
or cream only might be taken to the
factory. As to the butter-milk or skim
med-milk, that might be fed to hogs
or calves. If the factory is conducted
on the pro rata system, a good way
would be to purchase hogs or calves
with the money of the patrons, taking
those of the patrons at a fixed rate per
pound, put them together and employ a
man to take care of them. If any ad-
ditional feed is needed, let it be pur-
chased with the common fund by an ex-
ec1tive committee. In the fall, when
the calves or hogs are disposed of, let
the profits be divided pro rata.
1t seems to US that this plan would
give satisfaction, and we know it would
make freer, happier homes to be re-
lieved from the care and drudgery OF
the dairy. This is to us vital consid-
Grafton, and induces us to favor any
kind of profitable association that will
lift the burden from the backs of wo-
men, Utica Herald.
