The Conventions Work.

The Republican County Convention,
last Tuesday, faithfully carried out the
wishes of their constituents as express
ed at the primaries last Saturday. The
proceedings were very harmonious
and the work of the Convention meets
with the appreciation of the Republi-
can voters of the county, as well as a
large following of influential demo-
Gratis, The unanimous endorsement of
the candidacy of Mr.. b. w. Green, of
Emporium, after a hotly contested
canvass, is very flattering compli-
ment to that gentlemen, who fcolingly
expressed his thanks to his friends and
especially thanked his greatly respect
ed and hOnOred opponent, Hon J. G.
johnson, for the courtesy extended
him during the canvass for the nomin-
alton. That Mr.. Green will receive
the nomination at the hands of the
district convention there is little, if
any doubt. His high legal ability,
sound judgement, and just, fair and
honorable course as citizen and law
yer eminently fits him for the respons-
ible and honorable position of President
Judge Of this 25th district. Mr.. Green
is in the prime of life, is energetic and
faithful in the discharge of any duty
imposed upon him; he would take to
the bench young blood-learned in
law, just to the people-fair to all.
We hope the Democrats of the dis
trict will be fair with the Republicans
and endorse Mr.. Green's candidacy.
Ten years ago we endorsed the candi-
dacy Of Hon. G. A. Mayer, now clos
ing his 3Oth year upon the bench, and
it was presumed that at his advanced
age he would not ask reelection at
the hands of the people. We believe
emphatically in freeing the bench from
political dictation and that the candi-
dacy and election of Mr.. Green is and
would be satisfactory to a majority of
the voters of this district

To the Farmers Who Are Milk Pro-
duCerS


Tho following items were contribut-
ed by a wide-wake young farmer who
honestly and conscientiously believed
that it was to his interest to take care
of the milk produced on his farm at
! home and not send it to the Creamery.
All argument failed to change his
views until he sat down in the quiet of
his home, and like good business
man that he is, figured the cost on both
sides. See the result, viz:
''For making butter from six cows,
averaging 225 lbs per COW per year, the
| expenses are as follows:
For skimming, taking care of cream,
| removing specks, etc, that are bound
! to fall on cream where milk is set in
pans-one hour per day for nine
months equals four weeks, at $1.50 per
| week. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. So 90
For churning three hours per
week for nine months equals
one week and three and one
half days at $3.50 per week. ..... 2 25
For working and packing the
butter ready for market, taking
one day per week for nine
months equals five weeks at S1.50
per week, I so
For taking butter to town and
| delivering requires one man and
team one half day per week for
nine months, which equals
eighteen days at $500 per day, 36 90
This does not include salt, butter
| paper, crooks, wear and tear, nor oc-
casional losses by poor accounts, nor
time consumed in collecting good ac
counts. The wages too are figured at
about one-third to one fourth less than
the prevailing wages in this com
munity.
At these figures, even after making
these deductions, it costs me about
| four cents per pound to make butter.
! The Creamery makes and sells it for
me at three and one-half cents per
pound and gives me the cash at the
end of every month without worry or
trouble. By patronizing the Creamery
| am the gamer of one half cent per
pound in making, and by the differ
ence in quantity obtained by the Sepa-
rator over that of the pan creaming
! system | think | gain another one-half
! cent or more per pound.
! l. he dDONe HSllFeS are DaSeu Oh nine
months of the year and | think it
would be utterly impossible to hire it
done at these prices.
If Creamery butter will average me
sixteen and one-half cents per pound
net, | think it is equal to twenty-five
cents or pre the old way. In addi-
/ ton the Creamery Company has the
worry and my wife is relieved of one
of the responsibilities which causes SO
! many farmers wives no end of pain
| and misery.
Yours in Creamery success
FARMER.
1t is needless for us to say that this
young man will send his milk to the
Creamery. We have figured the above
at the generally paid prices and find
| that it costs four and eight-tenths
cents per pound to make the butter at
| home, leaving out the same accessories
| that he does. If these could be esti-
mated it would no doubt make five
! and One-half cents per pound. The
| only reason the Creamery can do this
same work for less than it can be done
for at home is that it is just as easy
and costs no more to make one thous-
and pounds with improved machinery
| than it does to make ten pounds
Farmers read this over again and
think abont it.
