Results Of Dishonesty.

The harm which few INSCRIPTIONS
men may do to great number of hon
rst ones is well illustrated by circu-
lar which the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has sent out.
For the past five years, this circular
shows, there has been a steady falling
off in the quantity and price Of our
country's butter exports. During
these last years only seventeen million
pounds of butter have been sent abroad
annually, against twenty million
pounds year during the five years
preceding.
The price during the past five years
has averaged from three to five cents
less than in the first five years.
During this period also lightweight
million pounds of cheese per year have
been exported at an average price of
about nine cents a pound; but for the
preceding five years the exports of
cheese averaged one hundred and
twenty million pounds at an average
price Of nearly eleven cents pound.
The decline of both these items OF
trade is attributed in great measure to
the expectation of butter and cheese of
II very bad quality. Filled cheeses,"
said to bc compounds of skinned
milk and grease" have been sent to
England, as well as rancid butter and
"oleomargarine" instead of good but.
ter.
Much of this mischief is undoubtedly
done by unscrupulous packers or ex.
porters, who substitute wretched stuff
for the good product of the farms; but
these packers, while they hurt the rep
utation OF all American cheese in for.
eign business, contribute to the ruin oi
their own business.

An Arbor Day Suggestion

EDITOR REGISTER: Believing thai
more attention should be given the
planting of trees OIL school grounds
Arbor Day, I submit the following
plan:
Let the patrons of the school meet
at the school house at eight O'Clock
with plows, spades, etc., and plow the
grounds and put them in good shape;
while few are preparing the ground
others are to lay out walks and haul
gravel and put them in good shape.
At ten O'Clock the boys and girls are
expected to appear, the boys bringing
young trees and the girls bringing
fiowers-plants and seeds; let each
boy plant and care for a tree as his
own, and the girls care for fiowerb beds
as individual property. Then at elev-
en- O'Clock the housewives of the dis
trict should put in an appearance.
bearing well-filled baskets, and the re-
mainder of the time spent socially.
At the proper time the ground
should be seeded to grass, and the
trees mulshed. But as "every body's
business is nobody's business" man
should be employed to take care of the
school grounds-a few dollars a year
will pay for the care of the school
property.
I hope more general interest will
be taken in the decoration of school
grounds. T. s. BALL,
District No. s., Jan. a.

THE OLD RELIABLE.

Among our most valued exchanges
for this year is the "Old Reliable"
Kansas Farmer published at Topeka
Kansas. 1t was established twenty
eight years ago and has survived all
the hardships incident to newspapers
in the west, and is today not only the
pioneer agricultural journal of the
West, but compares favorably with
the best farm Journals of the United
States in every way. 1t is devoted ex-
clusively to every interest of the West
ern farmer, and every issue is well
worth the small subscription price of
one dollar per year. 1t is issued every
week ON toned book paper, nicely
trimmed and pasted and contains from
sixty-four to eighty columns of matter
devoted to discussions of the farm,
field, orchard, home circle and state
craft. The Kansas Farmer is the rec
ognized authority on Western agricul-
ture and every farmer who desires to
improve or prosper in his work, needs
the paper.
It's special departments are Live
Stock, Husbandry, Dairying, Horti-
culture, Poultry and Bees, Veterinary,
Home Culture and Young Folks. The
Market Reports are feature being
specially prepared, full reliable and
accurate.
The Alliance Department will con-
tain all official matter of the Alliance,
Grange, and f. M. b. A., as well as
important Stair and National news of
the Farmers Movement" Send for
sample copy of the Kansas Farmer,
Topeka, Kansas.
We will furnish the Kansas Farmer
and the REGISTER both papers one
year for $3.50.
