was an old story that ! used TO hear,
as follows: A man very learned, and a
scientist, was in the habit of employ
ing good deal OF help. Being a man
in quest Of wisdom he was always ON
the lookout for little lessons TO be
learned from his hired men. One day
he employed 10 do some work a neigh
Dor who was counted anything but
bright. He concluded that that man
at least could teach him nothing.
However he set the man to drawing
some nails and noticed that be-
fore trying 10 draw them he
would always first pound them
in. Asking the reason, he was
told the theory, as above, which goes

bees do honey. The necessity Of a
closer fellowship among dairymen was
emphasized by W. D. Hoard at a re-

right TO sell counterfeit, no matter
how good IL may be. The question of
counterfeiting is not affected by the
serviceability Of the counterfeit. Some
people buy oleo knowing it TO be such.
Some men sell oleo, carefully stamp
ing IT as such, and more than that
have signs dozen feet long pro
claiming their product TO be butterine.
On the other hand a great deal of the
oleo is sold under the head of creamery
butter, and it is this latter method that
is hurting the dairy interests and of
which dairymen complain. An in
stance came under my own observation
few years ago. Before the national
law was passed compelling sellers Of
butterine TO stamp it as such, cheating
of this kind was particularly rife. A
smart fellow got wind of the fact that
the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, was
running short of first class butter. He
determined to play the philanthropist
and supply the deficiency. Purchasing
wagon load of the best butterine, he
assured himself that all marks were re-

to the hotel He sold it all at the top
price for creamery butter, and cleared
about $50 by the operation. 1t is not
probable that that was the first or the
last butter exploit of this particular
sharp fellow. or that he was or is the
only one in the business. When this
incident is repeated over and over by
multitude of men, it must be evident
to all that great wrong is being done

OF course / do not know

state fair recently, because of the lack
of suitable provisions made for the
fowls while at the exhibition. If such
conditions do exist in other states as
well as this, then is il not about tn q
that our farm papers took this matter
up and aired it in its true light? And
is not this, at the close of the annual
fairs, a good time to ascertain
just how poultry Is handled at
the different state fairs? Usual
ly there are thousands of villagers
and city folks, who are more inter-
ested in the poultry exhibit than in
cattle, hogs, sheep, etc. Some farmer
asks, why? Because in every ones
make up there is love for domestic
stock, and not having ground enough
TO keep a COW or horse they the
masses) keep few chickens, to which
the whole family become thoroughly
attached, hence they look mp the
poultry exhibit about the first thing.
And usually find things about like this:
A lot of fowls cooped up without prop
er care, no food or water, and fairly
gasping for a little fresh air, CON
tinually moving about in pens that
have not been cleaned out for from
four to eight days, and could they
talk would ask what they had
done to be used like this. Some
of these birds might be fair speci-
mems. but for the conditions in
which they are placed, but the ma
jority are lot of culls that would be
disqualified by the standard of perfec-
ton. Now the masses conclude that as
this is state fair exhibit open to the
world " that the birds shown must be
the best of their respective kinds, and
all are more or less disappointed If not
disguised. The truth is that the best
fanciers dare not subject their best
specimens to such rude treatment, fear
ing the consequences, so they keep
their birds just where they shouldn't

or pullets to dispose of, just put card
or small 'ad' in your agricultural
journal. Then people will know what
you have TO dispose of. As long as
there are plenty of advertisers you can
not expect purchasers will hunt your

which must be purchased. Then buy
ing by quantities when prices are low
est and paying cash down for what is
purchased. Cash always commands
the very cheapest prices and it We're
better II more persons could become
aware Of the saving which a cash basis
effects. Another opportunity to show
business enterprise lies in first produc-
ing the first class of goods and then
using trade mark by which they may
be identified by the market. For
example: You wish to get up reputa
ton for strictly fresh eggs in your mar
ket. First be sure your eggs are fresh
and no mistake, for it must be remem-
bered that in the minds of the customers
the finding of even single poor egg
will counterbalance in force the effect
of buying many dozens of good eggs.
Then granted the eggs are excellent,
stamp upon each an attractive mark

where they were produced and guaran-
tee as to freshness. In this way
good reputation is made, and that is
worth good deal. The poultry house
must be dry. OF the two, dampness is
worse than cold Yet how many hen
houses are setupon damp, springy, UNI
drained land, II your coop is so sit
uated, either move it or undcrdrain it.
You can put in tile drain or else fill in
two or three feet deep with rocks and
place n few inches of gravel on top.
But It would be much better never to
build on such site. Dampness is al
most sure TO produce colds and roup,
and that means much trouble and loss.
Even IN a well drained house the drop
pings and condensation of moisture
from the breath Of the fowls make the
soil damp. Therefore dry earth must
often be sprinlsled around as nnab-
sorbent. Wheat is so cheap and ex-
cellent for fowls that there can be no
reason now why it should not be
fed in great abundance as a staple
source of supply for the poultry. We
have found little linseed meal quite
beneficial as tonic for fowls to nour-
ish them and encourage their laying,

CmuRxrNG THE pAiRYMAN.
Churning has had so much said upon
Il in the past that one would believe
that nothing new could be developed
on that subject. But that has con-
cerned mostly the churning Of cream
and milk. Now dairy instructors and en-
thusiasts are realizing that a new kind
of churning has got TO bedonc and that
dairymen and dairy affairs generally
have got TO be agitated. Science has
begun to get control and the first
principle put into operation is "agitate,
apitate, agitate" Already science has
demonstrated that the dairy industry
is but in its infancy. II was but few
years past that men spoke about the
occupation" of dairying; later they
recognized in II SO great a requirement
of skill In manipulation that it was
dubbed art" Of dairying. Then came
the biologist and began TO teach about
flavors in butter arising from bacter-
sal conditions; the chemist, and began
TO tell of chemical changes and the
components of dairy bases and their
properties So now we have elevated
IL TO the high plane of art science"
of dairving. The churnng, how
ever. Is lust begun. The milk of

creams; to spot both the sellers and
buyers Of "blacls pepsin' and like con
coctions; also TO prevent the use of
chemical personalities for milk and
cream. This churning is going to do a
great many other things not here
mentioned: In word, it is going to
reduce the present anarchistic dairy
methods TO a state of order.
