they never found about this being a Presi-
Dental year and an election to be held.
They were undisturbed by any political
issue. 1t didn't matter to them whether
Bryan was tearing around the country
shouting for silver, or Mckinley making
speeches at home for gold and protection.
They had neither the one nor the other,

tobacco or rice or "any old thing went
current for shoes and clothing and an occa-

world wag as it will, and were gay and

loudly vaunted intelligence of the American
people when in this age of steam and cleo

Advantages of Dairying.

Written for the HERALD:
This is the time of year when
the farmer who has been depend
ing upon his crop to pay his
We IRIS bills finds he is short in all
directions. His potatoes brought
nothing, his grain crop was light
and prices low, the snow held off,
SO long that he could get no job
in the woods, and he finds him
self behind and unable to make
the ends meet. These are not the
conditions that confront the man
who has turned his attention to
dairying, pig and calf feeding.
His land is constantly being en-
riched he is therefore able to raise
larger crops, which he feeds to
his stock instead of selling in the
open market. Every day he
hauls bis milk to the creamery
and returns home with his skim
milk with which to feed his
calves and pigs. Once a month
he receives his returns from the
creamery, and in this wayis able
to pay as he goes; not only saw
ing the difference Whichis allowed
cash customers, but having the
satisfaction of knowing Just
where he stands. If butter is low
in price he knows it at the time
he is producing it, and in a
measure regulates his expenses
accordingly. Not so the farmer
who plants in the spring and
waits until fall to harvest. He is
entirely at the mercy of the mar
ket, and can have no idea when
planting what his returns will
be. Then again the dairyman
can calculate very closely what
he is to receive from his COWS
each month in the year, and
knows just what to depend on.
Also twice a year he has a lot oil
fat hogs to turn off and in this
way, together with his calves,
receives nearly enough to pay his
running expenses. All these ia.
vorable conditions surround the
progressive dairy farmer. But
let that man beware who only
half feeds his stock, allows them
to stand out in the storm and
drink ice water, and who thinks
