Every creameryman receiving milk
from his patrons should insist upon
each one furnishing irst-class raw
product, as that is the only way in
which tirst-class product can be de-
livered from the creamery, say Elgin
Dairy report. The fear that many
creamerymen have that if they do not
receive the milk the other creamery
man will, is based on the wrong prin-
ciples of business. AS long as you in
sist upon having good milk to start
with, you will have a uniformly good
product, if you are doing the work at
your end of the line correctly. The
other fellow taking the bad milk will
not have always a good product, and
therefore cannot pay prices that you
can afford to pay the patrons, and if
this continues long enough on that
same basis, the time will come when
you will have the good patrons-those
who care for the milk properly-and
the other fellow will have the poor
ones; and either he or the patrons will
have to go out of business, or both. We

dairy industry. There is a consider

and cheese have been ruling low fol-

agricultural products, they have held

So unused Miss Blackwood in the

thinking how she was to be her maiden

AS three weeks went on there was

Late on a misty night in September.
after an evening of more than usual
pleasure among themselves, the in

their various chambers, destined to
awaken in the morning on a scene of
great horror.
At 8 the next morning the guests
and Madeline, were seated at the break

screaming into the room.

With alarm, terror, and awe they

Sowing Alfalfa
c. H. Sessions, in an address to Cal
ifornia dairymen, said:
There is a great variety of opinion as
to best time of seeding. We have sowed
at all times from November or Decem-
Der to April and have had good and
poor success. 1t depends on the sea-
son, and nothing can be told of them
beforehand. l think 1t best to sow ear
ly, say after a good rain, as o o as
the ground has become dry enough to
work easily, and then, if from frosts OF
scanty early rains the stand is a fail
ure, there is plenty of time to prepare
the ground and put in another crop,
hoping there will be plenty of late
rains to give it a start. There is no
danger from frosts after the third
leaves have started. Some claim that
ten to fifteen pounds of seed to the acre
is sufficient, but we prefer twenty-five
to thirty pounds. If it all grew the
small amour would be all right, but
conditions are so liable to prevent all
from growing that l prefer t pay a
little more money for seed and insure
a good stand. If the stand is thin it
is not the easiest thing to thicken it
up successfully, but if the seed come
up too thick it is a survival of the
f~ttest," and the weaker stalks are
killed out leaving a good, thick and
even stand, which makes the best quail
ity of hay.
Sowing Alfalfa with Wheat.-For a
nurse crop in starting alfalfa nothing
is better than a very light crop of
wheat, say t~hirty-ive pounds seed per
acre. If a greater amount of seed is
used, the wheat will come up SO thick
as to smother the alfalfa, or if it grows
it will be so tender that as soon as the
wheat is cut it will wither and die.
If the wheat should be too thick it
must not be left until grown enough
for hay, but cut and removed earlier.
Some prefer nothing but weeds for pro-
lection, but 1t will cost no more to
grow a light crop of wheat, and what Is
taken off will be good feed while the
weeds will have to be thrown away.

Killing the Aphis.

A horticulturist speaking at an Illi-
nois meeting said: 81 think we have
solved the question in Southern Illinois.
We remove the earth round the trees
for a distance of three feet from the
trees and to a depth of three inches.
On the roots thus laid bare we sprinkle
powdered tobacco. The earth is then
put back, and when the rains come the
tobacco is washed down onto the roots
and the aphis are killed. I think it a
great thing; it takes very little tobac-
CO. You can always tell when a tree
is infested by the woolly aphis by the
roots growing in knots and being GOV"
cred with mildew. The aphis is very
| easily killed. 1t is a good idea for e
man when setting a tree to dip the
roots in a mild solution of soap suds.

THE GOLD PLANK /.

William Eugene Lewis in recent
number of the Metropolitan stated
that the "gold plank in the st.
Louis platform was the work of Fl.
H. Kohlsaat, we'll known newspaper
proprietor of Chicago.
Senator Foraker, who was chairman
of the committee on resolutions at
that convention emphatically pro-
nounces as false the claims of Mr..
Lewis as to Mr.. Kohlsaats' author
ship. The facts of the matter are that
the RESOLUTIONS relative to finance
were conveyed to st. Louis from
Canton, where they were drafted by
Major Mckinley, Mr.. Hanna, Senator
Sherman and other prominent Ohio
Republicans. The by Senator
Foraker is one of the most notable of
recent contributions to party history.
1t destroys some illusions. 1t reveals
some intensely interesting party
secrets. 1t is of special Importance
at this time, just when the Congress,
with the Republican party controlling
both branches, is about to redeem in
full the pledge given at st. Louis by
putting into the statutes the unequivo-
cal committal of the United States
to the gold standard.

cofferdam is and changing the course
of the Rockaway river is interesting
to the people, and no doubt the pro-
gress of the work until the great dam
stretches across so many acres of
land will be witnessed with increasing
interest. Stone for the great dam
will be supplied from two points
several miles distant from each other.
The one is at Hog Mountain north of
Montville, the other at the Tourne,
West of Boonton. Two railroads are
in course of construction. The one
from Hog Mountain is rapidly APP

tween three and four miles in length,
passing over some valuable building
sites 1t will probably be removed,
at least unat part south of the Lacka-

will connect with what is known as
Howell's switch of the Lackawanna

foot of the Tourne, where DeCamp' S
stone quarry is located. The force of
men at work at the different points is
quite large and is increasing daily
