THE Belleville Telescope makes a
great growing over the fact that Re-
public county has raised a big corn
crop. The figures are 1873, 156 bush
els for that county and 4,453,358 for
Phillips county. II must be remem-
bered that Republic county though
smaller IN area than Phillips has at
least voting population of about
1000 more than PHILIPPE. Getting
the yield down to per capita basis
and considering the fact that Phillips
county is ono hundred miles further
west than Republic, we claim that
this county makes fully as creditable
a showing as does our neiRhbor. -

Three agents travelling in the in
terests of an eastern wholesale groc.
cry house have been working the ad-
iacent country for orders, and we re-
greet to say have secured many. 1t
seems strange to ns that the farmers
are not more interested in building
up the towns Good towns M an
good counties, and enhanced values
for land These agents never seek
the farmers trade except when they
think he has money to spend. They
we're not here in 80 or 1913, '94, '95 or
'96, but now that crops are good they
bob up in great numbers. In talking
with farmers about the matter they
claim that many Of the merchants of
the city buy a large share of their
supplies away from home, and excuse
themselves by referring to the practice
Of the merchants. The agents expect
to work Kirwin and Long Island and
then 20 to Norton. Averaging up

KIND OF trading.

DAIRY.
Success of a Creamery.

A writer in the Dairy of London,
under the heading Creamery Sue
cess" has the following;
If creamery butter is better than.
average dairy butter it is because the
management at the creamery is upon
a higher scale than in the average
private dairy. There is no gain in
taking the milk of dozen or more
second or third class farmers and
handing it over to an unskllled
creameryman to make into butter.
A successful creamery must have
not only skilful manager and but
termaker, but a guaranteed supply
of good sound milk or cream in sutti-
Gent quantity to utilize the capacity
of the concern. The more COWS the
greater will be the percentage OF pro-
fit. Nor can the buttermaker alone
control the character of the butter
product.
Poor, dirty milk cannot appear later
in the form of frst-class butter. The
skill and intelligence indispensable
at creamery must extend out
among the milk producers. Poor
COWS yielding but little milk can new
or pay their keeping, and no number
of them, however great, can render a
creamery profitable to its patrons.
For the highest success under a CO.
operative system each individual
must put forth the same effort that
would be required for success in pri
vate management. Dairymen who
join creamery association expecting
to gain more than they give are hard
| ly deserving of pity when they dis
cover their mistake.
No one has any business to ask for
anything beyond what he is willing
to give an equivalent for. Men join
in raising the heavy frame of build
ing because they can accomplish in
that way what they could never do
singly. A man who on such an occa-
sion does nothing but "holler" is a
. sneak, and when found out is always
dispised. Not less mean is it to join
a creamery association and then car
ry poor milk, expecting to divide the
profits with those who furnish the
best they know how. Cooperation
is a success only when each works
for all and for each, and this idea lies

"There is no use in trying to make
good cheese out of tainted milk,
says G.. L. MackaY of the Ames, Ia,
experiment station. in the first
years of my experience l tried that
and spent good deal of time trying
to devise some means of getting the
odor and uncleanliness out and make
clean cheese out of dirty milk, as you
can butter, but it simply can't be
done, and it doesn't pay to try to
make cheese out of anything but per-
fectly clean, pure milk. In butter the
casein goes off in the buttermilk, and
the odor and uncleanliness with it;
the casein and all impurities remain
in cheese. So the first lesson our
farmers have to learn is to keep their
milk clean if they want to make
cheese out of it,
