A RESIDENT.

Pierson tells capital story Of a
staid Dutch farmer who came into
the city driving span Of very fat
horses: A bystander spoke in most
flattering terms of their exceptionally
fine condition and the glossy and
lively appearance of their hair, when
the Dutchman remarked with great
earnestness and simplicity, that his
horses hadn't fed on single mouth.

OF a kindred import was the fol.
lowing: A farmer who was this
winter exposing some rolls of fine
freSh.made butter, Of so rich a yellow
color as to imply its summer make
instead Of mid.winter, was asked by
q brother farmer what he colored his
butter with! Nothing but plenty of

gestive reply.

HEBRON.

All are aware that the winter Of 80
md 81 has been a season addicted to
progressive invention, as we'll as to
sny other line of pass-time.
The farmer, the merchant, the
mechanic, the teacher, and we might
Ry most men in general, have been
but partially employed in their res
yective lines of business, on account
II the severity and inclemency of the
weather. The intermittent compul-
sorry rests, to which more or less OF
oil mankind has been subjected, have
SLOWED the retentive minds to wan
Ger. And invention seemingly
present has embraced its consummate
supply of attention.
This inventive atmosphere. as we
may call it, has been especially pre-
Salent in the vicinity of the Hebron
school where there has originated
q new and formal method of School
government. This new design of
school government consists of the
following Ten Commandments:
I. Thou shalt not write notes In
school.
II. Thou shalt not whisper.
III. Thou shalt devote all thy
time to study.
". Thou shalt not snicker when
school is in session.
V. Thou shalt not cast sleeps
eyes at thy neighbor.
VI. Thou shalt not poke fun ut
thy teacher.
VII. Thou shalt have no instru.
ment of mischief in thy desk.
VIII. Thou shalt not think of thy
beau catcheIs in school.
TX. Thou shalt not drop cold
things, like pencils, nails, and button
hooks, down thy neighbors back.
Y. Thou shalt not trouble thy
Industrious neighbor in any way.
We are not prepared to vouch fol-
the perfect success of government fol
which these are designed. but we be-
lieve that the invention Of the above
Is comparatively beneficial and in
future may prove superlative in its
degree. We will now leave the
above percepts of school law for the
general teacher to adopt or reject as
their conscience dictates.

a sum more than sufficient to pay all
the taxes assessed in this State OH
every class of property of every kind
for that year"
A pretty thorough discussion of
the spurious butter thrown upon the
market, known as "oleomargarine,"
and its pointed denunciation, was
conclusive evidence that the Asso-
citation was determined to rid itself
rs far rs possible of the injurious
effects of this adulteration upon the
legitimate butter market of this
country and the continent of Europe.
Iowa has already passed stringent
laws by her legislature, SO that every
package of this adulterated butter
shall be distinctly marked, so that he
who runs may read. One delegate
denounced the claim set up by the
fabricators of oleomargarine that
they were "the poor mans FRIEND"
in this wise:
"They were the poor mans friend
in that they sold them lard worth ten
to twelve cents pound for twenty
five cents in the shape of so.called
butter. Some of this adulterated
butter has found its way to foreign
markets and has created a prejudice
against our dairy products. He
asked, shall the Association wipe
out this traffic, or shall it be allowed
to destroy our tradel The same JUS
tice should be melted out to them that
send the money.counterfeiter to the
penitentiary.'"
1t was decided to hold the next an.
nual convention at Cedar Rapids,
Nov. 80, and Dec. and 2, 1882. The
Cedar Rapids Dairy Board Of Trade
offer a special premium of $500 for
butter made in Iowa under any sys-
tenn, as follows: First, $3.50; second,
$40; third, $50, in quantities of ten
tuhs each-the awarding committee
to be appointed by the National b.
c. & E. Association. A premium of
$500 is offered by the commission
mer .hants and exporters of Chicago
for the best butter by any process,
entries to be in ten tubs of tifty.two
pounds each, and to be made under
the rules of the Association. The
Iowa State Agricultural Society,
through Col. Littler, Superintendent
of Dairy Products, offers $500 for
the best butter and cheese exhibited
at the National Dairy Fair in Cedar
Rapids in 1882. Mr.. Fairlamb offers
similar prize for the best butter
made anywhere. These offers were
accepted with thanks.
The maple sugar season Is upon US.
If large amount Of snow implies a
lengthy run of sap, the make will be
large of this highly priced and most
delicate sweet yet discovered. How
toothsome it is upon that institution
known as pancakes" all can attest,
without being told by the newspaper.
