RiceviIIe creamery. 1900; the Elma
creamery, 1,50O; the one at Chester,
1900. and the one at Lowther 1000
pounds a day. Hundreds of pounds are
also brought in daily in small lots and
sold to the groceries, hotels and to pri-
vate houses, but of this we will make no
account in the present estimate, as we
do not wish to overstate the amount.
Add up the foregoing figures and we
have 49, 00 pounds of butter daily, 10S,-
600 pounds for a week of six working
days, 1852. 600 a month, $4,000 a year!
N~inety-seven thousand tubs! Three
hundred and twenty-three carloads!
Verify, if corn Is king, the
COW is TIE QUEEN
in this county.
Most of the butter is shipped to Chi
cago and the Eastern cities, though a
considerable quantity goes to the terri
tories and the Northwest.
There is considerable manufacturing
done in the county, such as brick, dram
ingtile, wagons, buggies, mowers, plows,
windmillS and other agricultural ma
chinery%, coODering, tinware, etc. There
are measures now under consideration
that may make Cresco a large and i'm

condition that not many counties can

While the people of Howard county
have been prospecting in material mat
tiers they have not neglected their
higher interests. The public school
system of this county is unsurpassed,
and there are f%ouriShing churches of
nearly all the Protestant denominations
and Irish and German Catholics. so that
all can enjoy congenial places of wOr-

schools, but there is not n open saloon
in the county. No wonder that the Jail

HENRY SHAW DEAD.
The Best Friend ST. Louis Ever
Had Passes AWAY,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug, 25. Henry
Shaw, the venerable philanthrophist,
and the best friend st. Louis ever had,
died at 1925 bhis morning. He died
without showing evidence of physical
poin OR mental suffering, At his
bedside were Mrs. julius Morriss,
Mr.. Shaw'S sister, and a number of
his most intimate friends. With the
death of Mr.. Shaw, the famous Dotani-
cal gardens become the property of the
state of Missouri. Another and per-
haps more valuable munificence was
the gift to the city of Tower Grove
park, a resort of peculiar beauty.
Mr.. Shaw's estate is valued at 50, $780,
900, and it is thought the greater part
will be left to the city of st. Louis in
various requests. Mr.. Shaw was by
leaning an Episcopalian, and the chart
table institutions of that church, it is
understood, will be particularly favored
in his W i'll.

conditions here. The hardy and i'm
mense Clydesdale, Percheron, Norman,
English and Canada and other draft
horses, the housekeeping rOadsterS,
fleet racers, and high grades of all sorts,
are raised On Howard county farms, and
draw buyers and good prices from st.
Paul, Chicago, Boston and New York,
for service in the street cars, expresses
and buses, and for carriage roadSterS.
Of cattle, the variety is equally as nu-
merous and the value as great. There
are grand, and in some instances une-
qualed, herds of thoroughbred Short
Horns, Holsteins, Jerseys, Polled An
gus, Red POlled Norfolk and HerefordS,
and splendid grades of every breed.
Special attention is also given to
swine. Hog raising is a sure staple,
and profitable. All the most desirable
kinds. are raised, from the %pure-bred
Berkshire, Poland China, Chester
White and Essex to splendid crosses.

SiVely were it not for the lamentable
fact that dogs flourish here also. Here,
as elsewhere, the poorer a man is the
mOr dogs he rearS at the expense of
his neighbors. AS it is, there are fine
1iockS of thoroughbred Lancasters,
COtsWOldS, SOuthdoWns, Shropshire
downs, Merinos and the usual grades.
Our farmers know the value of poul-
try, and there is much pride and gener-
Gus rivalry in the raiSln of the many
varieties, both pure and mixed, for eggs
and meat of chickens, turkeys, geese
and ducks. This is a large and proiita-
bic industry, and immense shipments
go to the great markets OF the world.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that our farmers do not put all their
eggs in one basket. They do not take
their chances in one industry alone.
They use to depend wholly OF
WHEAT RAISING, -
which was a bitter and disastrous eX-
perience to many. But as they have
learned III soil and climate better, and
treasured up the lessons of time and
experience, they have adopted diversi-

ready reached a condition of independ-
ence with their well-cultivated acres.

way to that happy condition, which is
the sure reward of the Intelligent, in

farmer.
Northern Iowa butter and cheese have
taken the first prizes at state. national
and worlds fairs. The pure, healthful
climate and the rare quality of the
grasses which grow so l%uXuriantly here,
have made Howard county and North

region of the Union. The butter farms
