ance The supreme court of Missouri so
decided in the case of the city of st. Louis
VS.. the Edward Heitzeberg Packing and

The decision srstains the position taken
by Judge Murphy and ex-Judge Morris,

Now smoke alone was not a nuisance

enactment in these words: Every person
who shall erect or maintain any public
nuisance to the annoyance or injury of any
portion OF the inhabitants of this state shall
be deemed guilty of Il misdemeanor.'

There is money in poultry and hun
dreds of men and women are making
comfortable incomes from their focks.
Unfortunately there are thousands
who rush into the business at a ven

then endeavor to prove to all Their
friends that there is nothing in it. An
eastern editor recently expressed it in
simple way when he wrote: Don't
rush madly into it; study it, learn it
and build solid foundation for the
business to grow on. Begin moderate
ly and gradually increase your stock "a
your knowledge increases in caring
for that stock after you get it. Moth

try raising are not many, but you must
know them if you hope to succeed"

two) used to return from the west every
year at a certain moon, ostensibly for
the purpose of honoring the graves of
his fathers and to use again his ances-
trail right of hunting the deer and bear
among the wild but verdurous hills;
yet gossiping tarheels hold that really
the visits were for the purpose of open
ing again the concealed mine of lead or
silver, whose rich spoil the sons of the
forest have been seen bearing off in
their packs.
Another form of the story relates
that a certain hunter always won't

foot of a mountain above a cove on a
certain creek; or an old counterfeiter
(now sin the penitentiary" or "fed"

tiers and halves of good silver (still seen
in circulation), yet was never known to
buy silver in any form. Weeks and
months were spent each year in search

of good silver-lead that he had shot

game, he has been brought back to his
old haunts. Then, with many keen

1t Has Awakened the Spirit of Improve
ment in Many Districts.
In our anxiety to promote good farm
ing there is no danger that the subject
of good roads will be overlooked. When
g man gets the spirit in him to improve
his farm, his crops and his live stock.
thespirit ofprogress cannot be checked
there, but necessarily it must be ex-
tended to his buildings and fences.
Who ever knew farmer to erect
substantial fence along the highway
who would not also cut down the un-
slightly bushes along the margin, see
where drainage is needed and how the
roadway could be improved, and then
resolve that it shall be done at the first
opportunity? A good farmer is always
q good-roads advocate.
just now many things are conspiring
to assure good roads in the near future.
"A few years ago the road-scraper on
wheels came into vogue. A law was
enacted to permit a few adjoining road
districts to unite and purchase a
scraper to be used in common, as it is
an expensive piece of machinery, and
rarely a single district could afford to
purchase one alone. Now these ma
chimes are common all over the state,
and through their means road improve
ment has made rapid strides. 1t is not
necessary to describe all their good

BACILLUS NO. Al.
1t IL Needed In the Production of Reall,
Eirst-Class Butter.

1t Is Needed In the Production of Really
First Glass Butter.
It was person who came from Den
mark who first advanced the startling
theory that microbes are required to
make first-class butter. This theory,
which was received with scorn, is now
advocated by many scientific men, and
many creameries now invest money in
the culture" In Iowa % creameries
are using it. Experiments have been
made with over 100 different kinds of
germs, but it was not until No. Al was
discovered that satisfactory results
were reached. A conclusive trial was
recently made in a Connecticut cream
cry. June butter, as is well known, is
in flavor the best produced during the
year, so that the effect of bacillus No.
Al upon pure butter was most interest
ing. Early in the month two large
these was inoculated, the other was
not. They stood in the same room, at
the same temperature, for the same
length of time, and were subsequently
churned. Both lots of cream produced
excellent butter, but No. Al had taste
and odor decidedly superior to that
made without it. A large number of
persons tasted it, and no one hesitated
in deciding that No. Al made the SUI
pcrior quality.
The first attempt at an estimate at
bacteria in butter was made in Mn

are about 100000 in grain.-Chicago

CONTRACTING BUTTER.
How to Secure a Good a verage Price the
Year Round.

HOW TO secure GOOD a verage Pric1 the
Year Round.
There is scarcely any farm butter
maker having reputation for making
a good article and living within a few
miles of an ordinary western country
town who cannot find regular GUS
toner or customers who will take but
ter the year around at good price
which will be good round average
price for the year, says the Homestead.
All that is necessary to make contract
ing Of this kind easy is that the butter
maker establish a record for having
everything nice and clean, and for pro-
ducing quality that is both good and
uniform. The price that can be secured
in this way is always considerably bet
ter than the ordinary way of selling to
the grocer or store keeper. AS prac-
tical question, it is subject to only one
drawback, and that is from the side Of
the customer. We have known good
many town people who contracted for
their butter this way and very COM
mon complaint among them was that
they always get their butter if the
price to be paid was little better than
the stores and groceries were paying.
but when, with the change of the sea-
son, the price rose until the store keeper
or grocer was paying little above the
agreed average price, the butter maker
very commonly reported that the cows
were failing and he did not have any
butter to deliver Under the contract.
OF course, if one practices this species
Of dishonesty he will find it difficult to
make contracts of this kind for regular
delivery. and reputation not only for
cleanliness and good uniform quality
is necessary. but also reputation for
strictly CARRYING out contracts as made
