START THE CREAMERY.
FARMERS ARE TAKING AN
INTEREST IN THE MATTER.

MANY COWS ARE ALREADY PROMISED,
BIT MORE ARE WANTED LETTER
FROM SECRETARY MtKEEN OF THE
STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
Everything looks favorable for the pro-
posed creamery. The farmers and others
who are so situated that cows can be kept
to advantage are taking an active interest
In the project. The only thing now nee
essary for permanent creamery in active
operation is pledge of at least 400 COWS,
and 1t Is expected that more than that
number will have been obtained by the
last of the present week.
1t is desired to locate cows on routes
favorable to the convenient collection of
large quantities of cream. The route
from Ellsworth to West Ellsworth, re-
turning by the way of Branch Pond, will
be a good source of supply, and the
farmers there are enthusiastic in their
interest. Other good routes are the Tren
ton, Partridge Cove and Lamoine, North
Ellsworth and Surry routes.
Many Of the farmers who have been
consulted are familiar with the effects Of
a creamery in other places and say that
there is no reason why it will not pay the
farmers here as well as elsewhere.
The following extract from the letter of
a well-known farmer at Livermore shows
what creamery has done for him:
LIvERMoRE, MI. Jan. y.

Dear Sir-I have always kept dairy Of from
twenty to thirty cows. generally about twenty
five, and consider them the best paying
property we can keep on the farm. Being n
dealer In stock, cannot tell the exact profit, as
well rs some, but any good fair cow that Is
worth keeping ought to pay from 80 to $50 II

TRANSPORTATION companies, remarks
the American Economist, are fast learn
ing that there is a very sympathetic re-
lation between their earnings and the
tariff. Even Adam Smith, the most
rabid free-trader of the eighteenth cen
fury, declared that home trade was
twice as valuable to a country as foreign
trade. But our railroads find that home
production is worth to them a good deal
more than twice as much as foreign pro
duction for our markets. In handling
imported goods they are distributors of
a finished product only and have no hand
in hauling material to the factory for
manufacture; and everybody knows that
the proauct is far less in bulk than the
material, counting fuel, from which it is
produced. Therefore the closing of an
American factory and the substitution
for it's product of an equivalent foreign
product means, for our railroads, con-
siderably less than half the freight they
might have hauled for the American
factory. It also means that many peo-
pie, by loss Of wages, have become I'M
able to be their passengers. This ac-

No congress in the last twenty years
has been confronted with a greater num-
Der Of important questions than the fifty
fourth will be compelled to deal with.
The last congress left some troublesome
matter to it's successor. There are ques-
tons of revenue and other financial pro-
visions which will inevitably bring on
ong debates. Questions of internal i'm
provement will be presented and passed,
and whatever may be their final dispo-
sition, their consideration will take up
time. The coast defenses and the navy
will demand careful consideration.
Three or four chronic measures, noted
for their capacity to inspire oratory, will
be again at the front. Among these are
the pure food bill, the Pacific railroads
debt, and the bankruptcy bill. It is be-
lieved that that our foreign relations
will demand and receive unusual atten-
ton at the hands of the new congress.
In view of these facts and probabilities,
and remembering that 1896 will be a
presidential year, it will be safe, thinks
the Post, for congressman to come to
the capital prepared to remain on duty
until about the middle Of August.

MoRToN,s BLOW.

Secretary Morton of the governments
vegetable bureau, who furnishes wind
for a large number of the Cleveland
booms which are sent out from Wash
ington at brief intervals. arises from
among his bushels of potatoes and
baskets of rutabagas, to announce that
President Cleveland is entitled to a
third term. If a bank president were
successful and prosperous in his admin
istration of the affairs of his bank, says
Mr.. Morton, ponderously, he would be
reelected not once, OF twice, or thrice,
but an unlimited number of times, SO
long as he managed his affairs success
fully. Having promulgated this intelli-
gent comparison, Mr.. Morton leaves the
idea to simmer in the minds of the
American people, and retires from the
controversy with the air of a man who
knows a thing or two himself.
Now, just a glance at the other side:
If a bank president were to run his in
stitution behind, at the rate of millions
of dollars monthly, float S165, 900, 600
worth of bonds to keep it from webbing
bout on it's financial legs, plan and
carry out a policy which resulted in
business and monetary panics, caused
depositors to withdraw their funds, and
created a confusion which was beyond
him to remedy, how long would he re-
main at the head of the institution?
The great trouble with Secretary Nor
ton is that he allows himself to be too
easily agitated. He should go out and
sit under the cooling leaves of an electric
fan and calm himself.

RENEWED interest is being taken in
the spring-wheat states in the outlook
for the production of flax. AS pointed
out in the Pioneer Press of St. Paul,
wheat farmers in that region have begun
to learn, and in many instances have
learned, that in faxseed there lisa better
crop ethan even wheat" or that in this
oil product they have, with the bran and
shorts Of their flour mills, the best food
in the world for feeding and fattening
cattle, hogs and poultry. It is declared
to be a far more nutritious food than
corn for this purpose, yielding more
profitable results in beef and pork.
While the faxseed farmers of the north
west have known, of course, that bran
and shorts are good for cattle food, and
have used these products of the wheat
-four mills in quantities, it seems to have
escaped their attention that linseed oil
meal is worth more than corn to mix
with this food, and that by..feeding it to
their cattle and hogs they will raise
much greater profits than.by raising the
seed to be manufactured into oil cakes
for export. Statistics as to the produc-
ton of faxseed, while hardly startling,
are certainly surprising. Minnesota pro-
duces 100000 bushels of faxseed, or
nearly one-third of the total American
product. Minnesota and the two Da-
kotas produce two-thirds of the entire
yield. The rapid growth of fax culture
in these states is noteworthy. Since
1860 the product has risen from 100000
bushels to 100000 bushels in 1895.
and in Minnesota from 118 to 100000
bushels.

THERE will be submitted to the voters
of Louisiana at the next election, says
the Chicago Tribune, a constitutional
amendment limiting the right of suffrage
to those who can read and write, or who
have property assessed at 5000. The OBJ
ject of this is to disfranchise under color
of law black men who have been dis
franchised for years by intimidation and
fraud. There were in the state in 1890
119, 815 adult colored males and 100, 748
white males, counting both native and
foreign born. This makes a total of
$50, 500, yet the vote of Louisiana in 1885
and 1892 was only 10000. Evidently
very few colored men voted. One-ffth
of the Louisiana whites over 10 years Of
age are il~literate. OF the colored people
~ per cent are illiterate. So if this con.
stitutional amendment were adopted
there could be no fears of ''negro su.
premacy'' unless the colored people were
suddenly to learn to read and write.

A SERIOUS question which will come
up for consideration at the next congress,
will be a bill. to be introduced by Peter
S. Otey, of the Sixth Virginia district, as
follows:
Whereas, the war for the preservation of
the union resulted in the obstruction of
millions OF dollars Of property in the
southern states and the impOverishment of
the people;
Whereas the southern states were left
with many disabled and dependent soldiers
without the means of providing suitably
for them, in such name as is customary
amongst civilized nations:
Whereas the forces OF the United States
captured from the people of the confeder-
ate states, nOn-combatants and others,
abandoned property which was sold and
covered into the treasury of the United
States, amounting to 1927, 100000, and ii in
terest were allowed, probably reaching
$5O.OOO.OOO;
Whereas individuals could ave re-
claimed a large part of this amount but for
the chaotic condition of affairs in the
south after the surrender, and it has been
held subject to such claims until it is evil
dent they can never be presented or sus-
tanned at this late date;
Whereas the United States while under
no obligation in law or usage to make any
provision for those who fought against
them, recognizes that they are now its
own citizens, payingtaxes and discharging
all their duties as such in a patriotic man
ner, and are supporting cheerfully and

and the district is not a very large place,
either. The taxes are about So, 1000, 600

trict. The grand aggregate of the eN-

June, was Sc. 127. 729. The permanent

braces annually a vast amount of work.
The total amount expended last year in
that direction, including the work on
the county roads and the suburban
streets, was SITE, las. For the care and
lighting of streets, roads and parks,
s412, 900 was spent. The police force
cost over $500. 900, and the fire depart
ment over 5000 900. The courts cost

ton. But the work must not stop here.
The state associations which have Or
ganized must keep up the work-tire-

of land must be printed in pamphlets

any material good is to come out of this

AS HAS been remarked upon sundry
occasions, there is nothing slow about
North Dakotans. In exemplification,
it may be said, introductorily, that
Mike Schingowitz is a resident of Hank
inson. There is nothing slow about
Mike, with the n exception of his
name, and that isn't his fault. Not
long ago he left his home in Hankinson
in search of a wife. He drifted to
Neenah, Wis, and there found his affin-
ity, in the person of Miss Sadie Thorn
ton. 1t is not necessary to explain the
mental processes by which he con-
vinced himself that she was his affinity.
But she was, and Mike set him to work
in genuine North Dakota fashion. So
effective were his besieging operations.
that the young lady capitualated, and
surrendered her heart and fortune to the
attacking force within twenty-four hours
from the time Of beginning of the siege.
The nuptials were celebrated at once.
The whole affair occupied but a day,
and Mike is now on the way home to
prepare a home for his bride. AS we
said before, there is nothing slow about
Mike Schingowitz, with t~heiprobable ex-
ception Of his name. And even that
isn't so slow after all.

The TRIBUNE regrets to learn that the
young people of Mandan have run amuck
OF two narrowing social problems which
threaten the unity and harmony Of So
ciety in that heretofore quiet little place.
The young ladies insist that it is Il gross
breach of etiquette and a violation of all
set rules Of propriety for the young men
to tuck [handkerchiefs inside their col
lars when dancing. They contend that
it indicates an excessive consideration of
their neckwear, which can only be be-
gotten by a scarcity of clean linen. The
young men set up as Il counter claim
that the custom is certainly permissible,
so long as the young ladies persist in
wadding their sweet faces with chewing
gum, which endangers intelligibility of
speech, induces an extraordinary devel-
opment of the maNillary muscles, and
destroys the symmetry of their faces. So
far as learned, no solution of dhe ques-
tons in dispute has been arrived at. 1t
is to be hoped, however, that there may
be a satisfactory arbitration of the diff
Guilty that the young men will be
brought to see the utter reprehensibility
of the too careful protection of their col
lars, and that the young ladies will for
swear their devotion to chewing gum.
For it is upon such rocks as these that
society strikes sometimes and is cleft in
twain
