The state business mems meeting
at Sioux last week was well attended.
An important action was the selec-
tion of a state immigration commits
sioner, to be paid by the association,
and then try to have the office re-es-
tablished and paid for by the state.
That would be the best and most
equitable way OF paying such a SER
vice, but we believe better work and
better results would be obtained
from such a commission il it were not
altogether state snap. The busi-
ness mems association would obtain
better work than the state.

Mr.. A. C. Thomas, OF Marysville,

coysry than has yet been made in
Klondike. For years he suffered un-
told agony from consumption, ac-
companied by hemorrhages; and
was absolutely cured by DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds. He declares that
gold is of little value in comparison
with this marvellous cure; would
have it, even if it cost hundred dol

Somewhat OF a Change /!

In replying to recent PRESS item
saying that the 16 to l free silver is
sue was lost or estrayed, the St.
Lawrence Journal says: THE
above articl is all right but it needs
fixing. In the first place we beg to
differ in regard to the time when free
silver would have swept the country,
We think that if May was substitute
ed for July, lS96,-iust prior to the
republican national convention,
when oyer half of the republicans OF
the common type lover 3,5OO,oOOD
favored the white metal, a silyeryic-
tory could then have been obtained.
but not in July as the PRESS says.
No. it
was impossible for free silver to car
ry then. But as the masses began
to settle down and devote time to
studying this issue
a great change took place"

AN OCTAGONAL BARN.
This Style of Architecture Saves Con-
siderable Space and Is just the
Thing for Dairy Farms.

The octagonal shape has been used
here and hereabout the country for
barns and other buildings, and with
generally satisfactory results. 1t
seems, therefore, somewhat strange
that with these few satisfactory ex-
amples before them our barn-buildera
have not given more serious thought
to this style of building, especially as
an octagon presents no difficult prob
lens in construction, and lends itself
admirably to giving very large
amount Of available space for stock
and for the storage of fodder.
AS an illustration of this idea a cut
and an indoor plan of an octagonal
dairy barn are presented herewith.
By this plan large amount of space
is afforded for cattle stalls, while still
giving space for calf pens, box stall
for cows and grain and implement
room. IN the ordinary barn the silo
must come out of space that might
otherwise be utilized for stock. Here
it occupies the center of the barn, and
is Itself octagonal in shape-a style
that highly commends itself to the
dairyman, since it does away with the

THE cow AT EIGHT.
II She Has Been Well cared For She
Should Then Be at Her
Best.

Many dairymen and others who milk
COWS for profit believe that when a
COW reaches the age of seven or eight
her useful years are over, and that she
should be replaced by one younger,
says a writer IN the New York Trib-
une. But, other things being equal,
this is mistake A COW that has
been well cared for, with generous ra-
tions and proper attention given to
her comfort, through all seasons OF
the year is better and will make a
more profitable return at eight years
old than at an earlier age; in other
words, she is in her prime, and she
will continue in this condition several
years, and will not be considered an
old COW until IA or Is years have
passed. Cows with first calves-at two
or three years-are generally un-
profitable in their milk yield, and
really good COW between seven and
eight years old will pay better reve.
nue. than two that are performing
their first years duties in the dairy
herd, and she will probably consume
but little more food than one of the
Younger ones This fact is worthy
of the consideration of those who are
dairying for profit.

OCTAGONAL BARN.

Objectionable corners that in rectan-
gular silos give so much trouble. The
silo, being in the center of the barn,
can be carried up as high as may be
desired, and is most conveniently stu
ated with reference to feeding the
stock. In fact, this is one of the strong
points of the octagonal form for
barn-the ease with which the stock
can be fed.
In the plan illustrated the feed floor
is lighted by large window in front
and by the light that is admitted in
great abundance behind the cattle.
The silo in the modern dairy barn is
expected to supply great part of the
bulky food, but some provision must be
made for the storing of hay and other
roughage. The space over the stalls
and pens, entirely around the barn,
is given up to this. The hay is hauled in
at the main doorway and carried
about to its destination by fork, or
1t can be put in from the outside
through the windows that are shown
under the caves. Where the building
is located upon sloping ground eel
lar for the storing of manure can be
had.

81 feet in diameter. The stalls could

SUIT THE CONSUMER.
LOssOn That Many Butter-Makers
VIII Have to Learn Before They
Can Make Money.

One thing should always be borne m
mind by the person in making butter to
sell. The butter is for somebody else
TO eat, and it is for your interest to suit
them, whether it just suits your taste or
not. Habit has great deal to do with
our likes and dislikes. You may have
been accustomed to sweet cream but
ter; if so, you probably like that best.
Or, you may have got used to eating
butter made from very ripe cream, and
the butter not washed to expel the but
termilk, causing it to have a very de-
cided flavor and taste, and so you look
upon fine, delicat e-flavored butter as
lnsipid. Or, you may like little or no
sailing or high sailing; light color OF
high color. But all this is of little con-
sequece. 1t is no matter what you like.
You want to make it to suit your Gus
toner, and you want your customers
to be those who are able and willing to
pay good price for what suits them.
If the customer wants sweet-cream
butter, make it; if unsalted. make it so;
if he desires it high sailed, salt it
high, and so on. Always make it the
same for the customers. They are get
ting tastes formed which you can make
it profitable to crafty. 1t is not the
province of the maker of dairy butter
to try and educate the tastes of the
people who buy butter, but rather to
cater to their tastes when he finds out
what they are. If one is making but
ter to put on the general market, he
wants to make what the market de-
mands and will pay the best price for.
The best way to learn the market de-
mand is TO have the butter inspected
by an expert judge who is dealer and
knows what takes best in the market.
Ask him to criticise it and tell you just
what he thinks of it; and do not get
angry at what he tells you, but try and
profit by what he says. The object of
this article is to help farmers to make
such butter as the best-paying custom
ers in the general market Demand

Calls on Hickory Trees.

The hickory gals are made by some
of the gall lice described by Drs. Fitch,
Walsh and Sinner and others. There
is no connection, whatever, between
these and caterpillars. There is, as yet,
no practical measure known that will
effectually prevent the attacks of these
gall lice upon the leaves of the hickory.
Beyond disfguring leaves by their ap.
pearance, they do no special harm. The
caterpillars can be easily destroyed by
the timely use by arsenical poisons.-
