Butter From Fresh Cows and strip
pers.

Bulletin No. 33 from the Iowa FIX
pertinent station reports an experiment
on the effect whach the period Of lacta-
ton has upon butter flavor. 1t is aften
said, the bulletin states, that it is ne
cessary TO have a part of the milk from
fresh cows in order to produce butter
of good flavor. In the test. the cows of
the college herd that had been in milk
for more than six months were regard
ed as "'%strippers." while those that had
come in fresh within that time were in
the fresh class. The average num-
Der Of days since calving in the first
class was $50 day and in the latter 107
days. The feeding and management
of the cows, as well as of the milk,
was similar, and the butter made sep
aratcly from the fresh and stripper
milk. when scored by w. s. Moore,
official scorer for the Elgin board of
trade, scored alike. at 50 points for
each lot. The conclusion from the ex-
pertinent is that the period of lactatlon
has no effect upon the flavor of the
butter made by the separator system.
Under the gravity system there may
be some difference, as many dairymen
claim, and the possible explanation is
offered that as the fat globules become
smaller as lactation advances, more
time is required for the cream to rise
by the gravity method in the case Of
shippers than with fresh COWS, where
the fat globules are larger. 1t has
been found that when cream or milk
has been kept at a low temperature
for some time a somewhat bitter fla
vor il often developed. and the organ
ism which produces this bitter flavor
may be the reason why the butter
made from the milk Of shippers is gen.
orally considered inferior to that made
from the milk of fresh cows. The time
necessary for Dreaming by the gravity
process is an essential element in the
development of the bitter favor, and
when the separator is used the milk
does not have the time to become bit
ter.-Homestead.

THE SUNFLOWER.

The flush of the .June-time is done,
The leaves are auod with the yellow and
brown;
Ol mid-Angust bloom;
With sturdy sunnowers that smile and that
frown,
In sunlight or gloom;
Mid stress of this heat time,
The golden-rayed disks climb
To beckon and nod in the sun.
A red-iearted lover of noon,
That needs not the dust on his broad hairy
leaves
But turns to the day:
That sends his stout roots through the parched
soil and dreaves
What moisture he may
Grows strong with delight
OF noon-tides' fierce might
And loves more this August than Tune
Thou type of the strenerous one
Though cornfelds may cure their broad leaves
i'll the heat
Their heart lies all bare;
Though prairies may parch and grow brown,
thou dost greet
The moons fercest glare;
Thou reachest above,
Thou darest a love-
Intense with the might of the sun.
So read message to heart
No June-tme of roses can type the full life
And measure Of things.
My sunfowers' born for the stress and the
strife
That August time brings.
To bear the noon heat,
The labor and sweat
Is not this to play ones true part

THE TICKET.

AS WHOLE the Populist county ticket is a
very excellent one.
J. D. Stevens, nominee for representative, is
a safe business man; is farmer by vocation,
and knows the needs of the farmers. He will
creditably represent Anderson county in the
legislature.
Ed Stein,. candidate for probate Judge, is an
other farmer, and all know him to be 'solid'
as business man. He is we'll qualified for the
position for which he is candidate.
c. T. Richardson has served term as cour-
ty attorney, and his record is we'll known, 1t
is needless for us to add anything.
Cliff T. Hiatt, nominee for cleak Of the dis
trict court is known by everybody, and is a
popular young man. He was born in Anderson
county, and has always lived here. Since early
boyhood he has been in contact with the peo-
pie in business way. Of his ability to fill the
office there can be no doubt.
S. S. Irwin is one of the best teachers in the
state, and his qualifications for county superin-
tendent of public instruction are undisputed.
He is popular with the members of his profess
sion, and he is an up-to-date teacher.
X. Harrington IS recognized by all, regard
less of politics, as one of the best county COM
missioners we ever had. He stands by his
convictions of right regardless of friend or foe,
and, being man of good Judgment his work is
almost universally satisfactory The First dis
trict will regret it if he is not reelected.
STATE SENATOR.
It would have been difficult to make better
selection for state senator than ]. N. Caldwell.
He is farmer of the progressive kind, and is
we'll acquainted with the needs of the farmer
As reformer, he always keeps little ahead
of the band-wagon. He has all the qualifca
tons necessary for the high Office for which he
was nominated.

KANSAS AGITAToR. GARNEfE. KANSAS.

THE Garrett Eagle says Judge w. A.. John
son is not making any campaign speeches, as
he considers it beneath the dignity OF man
holding so high position to go about the
country making campaign speeches. The
Eagle either lies outrageously, or it is very ig-
norant Alec Johnson is making campaign
speeches, or has been within a very few days.
He went out to the Earnest school house few
nights ago, at which time it had been agreed to
give the silver men part OF the time After
Lew Earnest had spouted for an hour or So
and said nothng-Johnson took the stand and
belabored the air until half-past o'clock.
"chance" was then given the silver men, but
it was Saturday night, and Alec's mouthings
and gesticulations had worn them out. In fact,
Alec is "out among en- every night, and if
he don't speak at every meeting, he is working
some scheme to mislead the people. Hanna
has sealed the lips of Mckinley, but he hasn't
told Alec not to speak. Such rot as the Eagle
got off about this matter may sound very pretty
away from home but those who are acquainted
with the facts know is all bosh. If Alec john
son ever fails to speak, it is because nobody
will listen to him.

WAS IT A CRIME?

When the secret history of this act of 1873
comes to be told, it will disclose the fact that
the house of representatives intended to coin
both gold and silver, and intended to place
both metals upon the French relation instead Of
our own, which was the true scientific position
with reference to this subject in 1873, but the
bill was doctored, if | may use the term, and |
use it in no offensive sense, of course. Senator
