While cheese-making does not re-

LIMA, o., Sept, 23.-This morning at Z

SMALL PROFITS.
Why Many Alleged Dairymen Fail to
Make Both Ends Meet.

Why Many Alleged Dairymen Fail to
Make Both Ends Meet.
Mr.. j. Wallace, proprietor of one Of
the leading Iowa creameries, issues a
thoughtful circular to his patrons on
the causes of the low profits of dairy
ing. This is praiseworthy act on the
part of Mr.. Wallace, and it would be
vastly to the interest of cooperative
dairying if there was more of this spirit
of discussion and interchange of views.
But in our opinion Mr.. Wallace has
not touched the real cause of the low
profit of dairying to the creamery pat
ron. If we should sum it up in Il nut
shell we would say it is because, as a
rule, he is not dairyman and is not
willing to eXpend either the time,
thought or money to make one of him.
self How can a man 60 into the silk
business, the iron business or any other
kind of business without making any
special effort to understand it except
to make money out of it.
Dairy farming, or if you please COW
farming, is specific business just
as tobacco farming or cotton farming.
A large proportion of the patrons of
the West in general are ordinary far
mers, just emerged from wheat grow
ing, and as a rule they don't see any
need of special dairy education to make
success of producing and making
cream. We know this to be true, for
the reason that it is extremely difficult to
get them to spend small sum even in
the purchase of printed matter where
these important questions are discussed.
Such being the case and showing as
little interest as they do in their own
salvation. how can they expect to mako
money in time of low prices for cream
or butter. Yet we know of plenty of
well-posted dairymen who in these
times are making three times the money
on the production of cream that the
average patron is. This shows plainly
that the mischief with the patron is
his poor understanding of his business:
Take one cause of the many that
effect Mr.. Wallace's patrons Just
as they do the patrons Of the majority
or other creameries. We allude to the
amount of cream they get per cow.
Now one of the things a well-posted
dairyman always does is to milk good
COW. He won't have poor unprofit-
able cream producer about him. He
goes right to work at the outset to
study how to get her, and last how to
care for her. He knows, that as true
as fate, if he makes any money in
times of low prices he must have
COW that produces large amount of
milk. and he must feed and care for
her SO she can produce large amount.
When all the cows in certain Iows
creamery are of such poor unprofit-
able character that they average only
twenty-five dollars each in the sale Of
cream for an entire season, any man of
sense knows that the trouble is with
the patron. Such men don't know
what it is to be COW farmers, and Just
as long as they continue in that frame
of mind they can never make money
from the cow. There is only one road
out of this slough, and that is for
them to commence to study what it
means to be dairyman.-Hoard's s
Dairymas.

A LAKE OF LAGER.
Tho Amount of Beer Drank In
Germany Last Year.
A Consul Solves the Problem OF Temper
ancc In Germany and Drunkenness in
America.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Consul Tanner,
of Chemnitz, reports to the Secretary OF
State that the beer production of Germany
in 1885 was 1000, OOO, 900 gallons, enough ITO
form lake more than one mile square and
six and half feet deep, or it would make
q running stream as large as some of our
rivers" He says the consumption of in
toxicants in Germany per head is four
times as great as in the United States, yet
there are 1000 hopeless drunkards In the
United States to 10 in Germany. The diff
ference arises largely, he says. IL not en-
tirely, from the manner of drinking in
vogue in the countries "This science Of
drinking" he writes, Consists simply in
tho tardfness Of drinking. All drinks are
taken sip by sip, a half or three-quarters
of an hour being consumed for glass OF
beer. This is so simple that one is liable
to ridicule for laying stress upon 1t, and
yet on this one point hinges, in my opin-
lon, a question of vast Importance to
Americans. By this manner of drinking
the blood is aroused to greater activity in
so gradual manner that there is no vio-
lent arrangement Of the animal economy.
BY slow drinking the German accomplishes
the object of drinking, and gives his animal
economy a chance to say hold, enough
which only slow drinking will do" Mr.
Tanner says that since his arrival In Ger
many he has his first glass of water to see
drunk

Butter Fifty Years Old.

A writer tells the following story
about crock Of butter which was kept
nice and sweet for fifty years. Mrs.
Jupp, who was a famous dairy-woman
near Albany half a century ago, used to
lower her butter into a we'll on the
premises which was noted for its very
cold water. Mrs. Jupp would leave the
butter hanging in the water for several
hours, and when taken out it would be
as hard and cold as ice. One day in
1884 she was lowering crock of butter
into the well, when the rope broke and
the crock fell to the bottom. No effort
was ever made to recover it. For the
first time in its history this we'll became
almost dry during the recent long
drought. A few days ago the present
owner was cleaning the we'll out when
he found the crock Mrs. Jupp had lost
fifty years ago. In taking the crock
from the we'll the finder accidentally
broke it. TWAS about ono-quartcr full
