with Bob johnson and Hillary Bush
and other unreasonable and hard
headed farmers that by science and
my advise, without the least push
r~erspiration, the most wonderful
things might be done in farming.
"Of course we know that the
main thing in scientific farming is
to economic labor.
"You can turn your hogs in and
get your fall blowing easily and sat
isfactorily done without the least
wear to machinery or without the
mean and degrading labor that 80

lilies to subsiat for weeks in the
early spring on the profits of this
wonderful plant. There is just one
other thought that l want to firmly
impress on this audience. 1t is
purely in the line of scientific farm
ing, as it would greatly economic
labor. You are simply to remove
all the loan clean down to the hard
pan, and then plant. You will be as
tonished and gratiied beyond de-
gree to see how little the grass and
noxious weeds will interfere; and
SO on the hot June days you have
only to swing your hammock in
some shade least infested with flies,
and rest-which is the main desId-
eratum in scientific farming.
Gentlemen, the time is coming
when this kind of farming will be
the grandest vocation on earth.
Compared with it what are the ships
of Argo laden with their golden
fleece? What the stupendous COM
merce of that even hilled city of
the world? Why nothing, gentle
men, nothing-no more to be COM
pared than the blink of the toad to
the bright eve of Hesper.
"Of all the ennobling, dignifying
and useful avocations on earth, l
commend to you true scientific
farming"
Mr.. G. w. Waters of Rails coun-
ty replied to the toast: "City folks
in the country" and related several
amusing stories pertinent to the
subject.
Colonel A. F. Fleet, president of
the Missouri Military Academy, dis
cussed Education as an aid to Ag-
riculture."
Colonel Fleets talk was Of much
interest. He made a hit when he
said that he and A. q. Turner were
trying to make a trade-Colonel
Fleets school for Mr.. Turner'S farm.
Colonel Fleet was raised on a farm
and has always wanted to get back
to that original condition. Educa-
ton, in the sense accepted by Colo
mel Fleet, does not mean shook

HOW TO MAKE A CREAMERY PAY.
MIR. ]. D. Morse, of Martinsburg,
read a paper upon the topic:
ga practical plan for a creamery
that will pay" He said:
SIN treating upon this subject it
is necessary to look at the adverse
side of the question first, that we
may be the better prepared to see
the necessary conditions that must
exist to make a creamery pay.
eff We look for a large commo-
dious building, nicely and conven-
iently arranged, with the latest and
best approved machinery at a cost
of from $1,000 to Sc. 900, presided
over by a 6~rst-class butter maker
and assistant, it might seem to the
uninitiated that the goal had been
reached. Far from it; we might as
well look in hades to find Heaven.
"By looking at many of the
ereameries in Missouri that are idle
or soon will be, we have an object
lesson that shows us that there has
been a lack of judgment in their es.
Enlistment that has been a serious
drawback to the general interest
and welfare of the State. If a
creamery will pay good dividends
and give satisfaction to the patrons
in one part of the State, why not
in another, allowing one section
equally as well adapted for the
dairy as the other. The demand
for a irst-class article Of creamery
butter is steadily increasing from
year to year, and expert butter
makers are plentiful and can be
procured as needed. So the failures
of SO many creameries in making a
success is due to local causes. Some

The number of fresh cases has been s;l8.
an increase OF nfty-two; the number OF
deaths 2Ol, decrease OF forty-six; the

action can prevent several hospitals from

There is a general feeling that the pest
has been at its worst and that, although il
| it may not abate rapidly, It 40 least will not

/ over, as the authorities would have people
outside Of the city believe. Fewer persons
left the city yesterday than on previ-
Gus days OF the week, only because most
men who could get away had already left
with their families The city, in fact, has
been virtually depopulated Of all persons of
wealth or leisure.
There was a riotous demonstration before
the house Of the president Of police About
100 unemployed laborers from the worst
striken districts gathered there, shouting
that the authorities wished the people To
die and therefore would not help them.
The men were driven away by company

of excitement, and absolutely nothing else
but prize fights is talked Of here among all

Owing to the advent Of the Iyer delega-
ton there was a decided change in the bet
ting Of the combination Of fights for next
week. Admirers Of the Streator lad said
there would be a decided change in the fig
ures, and they lost no time in plunging on
the combination Of Sullivan, Myer and
Dixon.
The poolroom offered Is to against the
three and recorded a number of such bets.
but as the betting was so heavy the figures
on Sullivan. McAulffe and Dixon We're
changed from 10 to 3 to toll.
This change was made to try and coax
some of the money away from the comb
nation in which Myer figured. The figures
against Corbett are still to 3. At this
price "Pompadour JIM has been freely
backed.
