He was weary, in fact, and the scene

Hiram Smiths Profits in Dairying.
A pioneer was recalling the early
days Of the Farmers Institute. This
one was in GAINESVILLE in 81 and 'S2.
1t was when w. D. Hoard was making
the fun and reputation that finally
landed him in the governors chair.
Hiram Smith was there, of Sheboygan,
for whom one Of the agricultural col
lege buildings was named, Beach of
Whitewater, and number other dairy
experts.
Colonel Littler, of Dubuque, was just
back from the diaries of Europe, with
er Iowa farmers had sent him to make
study of dairy matters. He and
Smith were operating herds Of some 60
dairy COWS and the subject Of discus
sion was the profits of the business.
Littler recited the cost Of food, help,
ETC., and offset it by a fancy price re-
ceived for his choice product. To the
surprise of everybody Hiram Smith

nearly double.
TT can't be-" shouted Littler.
''Well, let's see,'' replied Smith.
what do you do with your sour milk?''
II feed it to swine and make pork that
brings a good price, said the Iowa
man triumphantly.
II send mine to Milwaukee to be
made into fancy cheese for my Ger
man friends and I get 80 cents a can,"
said Smith. This was a sumner for
Littler. 1t was almost as much as he
got for his new milk in Chicago. He
acknowledged the Wisconsin man made
a. better showing of profits.
Hoard's First Dairy Lesson.
Then Howard was called on. He un-
folded his tall, awkward form and said
profess to know much about COWS.
(This was nearly twenty years ago,
mind you.)
But the debate recalled his first les
son in dairying. 1t showed a loss in
marketing the output and not even a
small profit, like Littler's. He was
counting a girl and one day found her
milking, an occupation in which she
shone to best advantage. He was assist
ing her to the best of his ability and it
became necessary to get very near her.
In fact, he kissed her, at which she
raised such a commotion that the COW
became frightened and upset the pail
and started down the road, after send
ing both him and his fair teacher
tumbling over each other.
Debs Much More Mild.
Eugene Debs, the moving genius Of the
great Chicago strike, spoke in Oshkosh
the other night. He is much more mild.
The reporters spoke Of it as a "scholar-
ly address," Debs is we'll educated and
doesn't look or talk like Powderly,
who, although intelligent, has that grim
dignity of q man who has worked round
metals. Debs is optimistic withal Agi-
IdIOTS III the neat OIL d CTlSlS can never
be comfortable but it is difficult for a
man who makes his living by lecturing
to be otherwise. He said some epigram-
matte things, however:
Excessive wealth is as demoralizing
as extreme poverty"
IF the arm of corporate greed could
reach Old Sol there would be a meter
on every sunbeam
'Our children are becoming mere cogs
in the wheels Of Industry
"Rockefeller's Standard Oil univer-
sity is q pillared pile of public plumber"
'Government oWnerships Of railroads
is better than railroad ownership of
government"
Under present conditions it doesn't
pay to work. It pays better to work
those who do
AS to trusts, Debs holds the old Carl
Marx socialistic vieW-that they are a
good thing; that trusts will multiply
and combine until there is one big trust,
at which point the government (people)
will step in and operate it themselves.
That will then be socialism in fact.
How To BE Happy at Carnivals.
Some of CUR 1,5OO people who went to
little That was when they got back.
Some who staid over night said they
had to sleep in cots in hotel corridors.
Those who could afford to go to the
Pfster had rooms to themselves. It was
those who had to be economic that
shared the Inconvenience of a great
crowd. They said the streets were so
crowded one could hardly move, and
that the restaurant service was rushed
What did they expect Carnival
means crowd: that's half the fun. But
it's always thus at picnic occasions
impatient to go and impatient to get
home.
Biggest Machine Shop in the World.
But every one is proud Of the biggest
city in Wisconsin. 1t is certainly lovely
to look upon, but to those who live near
the lake it is more often cool than in
land cities. When the wind is from in
land it is no more cool than other cities
But often the breeze is from the lake.
