Representative Foster Re-
plies to "Citizen."

EDITOR BULLETIN-I recognize
the right that any citizen has to
truthfully criticise the acts of pub
lie servants, but "Citizen," who
undertakes to criticise me through
the columns of your paper, has no
regard for the truth, or any respect
for a man who has. may have
made some mistakes, / know | am
not perfect. l tried to represent
the people, was present every day,
voted on every important bill and
attended every important meeting
of the committees of which | was a
member.
The people are not fools. They
are fully as intelligent as Citizen, "
who undertakes to give them an &C
count of my stewardship. The To-
cal bills were all published in the
county papers, and the people UNI
derstand them about as well as
"Citizen" does. My position on
the fence bills, the dead body bill,
the amendment to the Jarvis law,
the appropriation bill and all other
bills, will be Published in the jour
nal and carefully considered by the
people at the proper time without
the assistance of a false instructor
like "Citizen."
In order to show how much re.
gard Citizen" has for the truth, ]
will submit a few facts. He states
that the Legislature created two new
offices, viz: Superintendent of the
Capitol and Inspector of Factories
at a salary of $4,000. The truth is,
the Office of Landscape Gardener,
who received salary of $1,000 pei
annum, was changed to Superinten.
dent of the Capitol, and placed on a
salary of 5000 per annum instead OF
$4,000, as citizen would try to in
struct the people to believe; and the
Office of Inspector of Factories that
"Citizen" undertakes to educate the
people about, does not receive
$4,000 as Citizen" represents,
neither does he receive one cent
from the state. Each factory that
he inspects pays him a fee of $500.
This is all that he receives.
"Citizen" informs the people that
"the visiting or junketing commit.
tees of 1899 spent more than ever
before on themselves. He states
that the charitable committee To
which l belonged spent $llOO, and
that the amount spent by the same
committee in 1897 was $3.50. This
statement is like another statement
made by "Citizen"-absolutely un.
true. | have the facts before me.
The visiting committee to which ]
belonged worked l9 days and cost
the state $I,lO3.6l. This includes
per diem and all other expenses.
See appropriation bill 1899. The
visiting committee of 1897 worked
Is days and cost the state $l,674.
See Acts 1897, chapter 4, page 90.
The visiting committee of 1895 cost
the state 81, 1929. See Acts 1895,
chapter 2, page $50. Thus you see
our committee cost the state 1907. 80
less than the same committee did in
1897, and S1,118.39 less than the
committee did in 1895. These are
the recorded facts.
Truly your obedient servant,
J. A. FOSTER.

handsome residences and bus
mess houses; peopled with
refined and cultured citizen
ship; the seat of a celebrated
female school, and a famed
summer resort within a few
minutes drive-Bolivar is one
of the best towns in West
Tennessee.
During the past twelve
months, a spirit of enterprise
has been manifested by
our people that is in
deed commendable. Many
residences have been built,
contracts for new business
houses have been let, and
other improvements have
been made. Within a few
weeks Con May 30th) the
proposition of voting bonds
to the amount of $4,000 for
the erection of Il public school
building will be submitted
to the qualified voters of the
corporation, and the indica-
tons are that it will almost
certainly carry. The erection
of an electric light plant is
also being discussed. Some Of
our moneyed men are behind
the enterprise and we hope
soon to see it pushed to COM
pletion. The Tennessee
Eastern & Western Railroad
Company propose to build a
line from Memphis to Knox
vile, passing through the
lower tier of West Tennessee
Counties. If this road is
built, it will cross the Illinois
! Central at Bolivar, thus Civ
ing us better shipping faciI-
tiles and lower freight rates.
No town in the state can
boast of a better class of mer-
chants, men of honor and
rating in the commercial
world, men whose word is as
good as their bond. Among
the well known and popular
firms of Bolivar are @. T. In=
gram d Co., j. A. Barrett,
Kahn Bros. d. +. Durrett,
2. +. Wilkinson and Sweeton
q Black. Both members of
the latter firm are young
men, born and reared in Har-
ldeman County, where their
entire lives have been spent.
The success they have achiev-
ed is gratifying to their many
friends. Three years ago
last March, they started in
business here with a small
capital. By courteous treat
ment, fair dealing and close
attention to business, they
have built up a splendid
trade, and within the past
eighteen months have more
than doubled their capital.
Judging from outward APP
pearances, the time is not far
distant when these gentlemen
will stand at the head of the
list of our most successful
merchants.
Not only is the future of
Bolivar bright, but the peo-
pie of Hardeman County
generally are in a better con-
dition, financially, than they
have been for years. The
farmers have purchased more
wagons and improved ma
chinery within the past few
months than ever before
in the same length of time.
Messrs. Sweeton & Black in
form us that during the last
sixty days they have sold
over a car load of Studebaker
wagons alone, at a season of
the year, too, when wagons
are not usually in demand.

ming on the pulleys. Rivet stats called
lags) to these belts for the dog to work
on. There must be but one rivet at
each end of the lag and this in the mid
die.
At each end Of the lag small piece,
say an inch or less square and six
inches long, must be fastened to the
lags as q bridge to keep them from
asagging under the weight Of the dog.
Two riyets or clinch nails are needed
to hold these bridges firm. Each al
ternate lag must have these strips set
in aninch SO they will lap past each 9TH
er and rest on a lag on each side. Three
or four small rollers or wheels are
needed under each end Of the lag where
the dog treads, as seen in the illustra-
ton. II
The connection with churn, sep
arator or other machine can be made
by 'stumbling rod" connection, as illus
trated, or by a belt on the band wheel.
The lags may be a half-inch thick and
four or five inches wide. AS the pitch
may need adjusting to furnish the
power needed for different kinds Of
work, it is well to hang the rear end by
straps so the elevation can be changed
at will. Orange Judd Farmer.

Dairymen should not forget that the

more clearly and sharply defined each
year. It is only the best that is always
in demand and will sell at good prices
when there is a1surplus of the inferior
grades. that either are not wanted at
all or else must be sold at a sacrifice.
We can hardly expect that under these
circumstances this order Of things will
be changed or improved upon; it is

AN INEXPENSIVE s1Lo.
Description Of One That. Although
Built for Only $3.50, Has Given
General Satisfaction.

Speaking Of silos and cheap built ones,
we were greatly interested in q stave
silo in Tompkins county, holding about
go tons and costing all told $50, and as
fine silage as need be is now being fed
from it, writes John Gould in Hoard's
Dairyman. The novel thing aboutit is
that instead of using iron rod hoops,
four bands of 52-inch wire fencing were
used instead, and with entire satisfac-
ton. A band of fencing is cut. of sufi-
Gent length, so that each end is
wrapped about 4 by 4-inch oak
scantling, so that when put round the
silo the end pieces will come within
about 10 inches of each other and are
tied together with two 1-inch bolts
with double bnrrs. The pull" ofthis
band is simply immense, and the coil
Of the wire takes up all slack when
the silo shrinks when empty, and ex-
pands when the slaves swell, so pull
all the time. The bands are placed far
enough apart so that three manholes
are sawed in between the bands. The
foundation is simply a little trench in
set, and then filled in-inside and out
with cement, and the inside dirt is
drawn up against the walls of the silo,
so as to make the center the lowest.
The roof is just given q little pitch and
covered with boards battened and the
silo is complete, and doing as good work
as a 81, 1000 structure. And the cost of
this Cotton silo was only $36.

HIGH 3 ASS cHEsEE.


The popularity of the imported fancy
cheeses in this country has induced
many home manufacturers to initiate
these. Thus we have the western Swiss
Imitation cheese, the American Stilton,
and other limitations. But there is 4
more fertile field for the cheese-maker
than Initiating these foreign standard
articles of the cheese-maker's art and
skill Good American cheese will estab-
lish itself in the favor Of the people who
can pay good prices for it, but the
trouble is that not sufficient attention is
given to the subject by the majority.
There are some makers, however, who
seem to have grasped the situation and
they are making fancy American cheese
and putting it upon the market in
dainty little packages. The most pop-
ular package seems to be the china and
earthenware cup, which besides looking
attractive keeps the cheese in good con-
dition for long time and is very handy
for the buyer. There are other makers
who simply wrap the cheese in squares
or rolls in prepared paper and then
with tin foil. This is just as good as
the more expensive china receptacles.
The point to be observed is that the
packages keep the cheese in moist,
sweet condition indefinitely and that
they are not expensive. The quality Of
this cheese is consid bly, higher than
that of the ordinary cream cheese that
comes from the average cheese factory
in this country. 1t is,made of rich
cream and milk, is cured better, is inot
tough and elastic, but soft and pliable,
and is perfectly adapted to spreading
on bread or using with pie. It has more
taste and flavor than most of our COM
mon cheese. The great fault with our
ordinary full cream or part cream
cheese is that it is flavorless. One might
eat it and not know just what he was
chewing. The trouble all comes in the
curing. Our methods are probably all
right, but we hurry the cheese to mar
ket in such a short time after it has
been made that it has neither taste nor
flavor. We cannot expect it to improve
in flavor in the ordinary store or ware
house. The curing must be done and
perfected at home under the most ap-
proved conditions, and under constant
watchfulness. It cannot be made
sweet and highly favored otherwise.
We have cheese-makers who can do this,
but they are unwilling, as rule, to
take the time. There is consequently
an opening for enterprising farmers
who will take the time to cure highly
favored cheese and ship it to market
in neat, fancy packages. Such cheese
would in time get a line of customers
who would take it regularly in pref
lerence to others and the price would
be double what our common cheese
brings. James Ridgeway, in Massa-
chusetts Ploughman.

A Hint for Dairyme =.

It is generally agreed that there is an
overproduction Of most dairy products,
though this is less obvious now tnan ii
was two or three years ago, when more
people were out of work and therefore
were forced to economic. We all the
time hear advice to increase production
of dairy products by improving breeds
OF cows and feeding them better. But
unless the number OF cows is reduced
this will make the price Of dairy prod
ucts 80 low that the farmer will make
no more than before. The remedy
would seem to be that as better cows
were bred, two Of the poorer cows
which often do not pay their way
should be turned OF to the butcher.
That will lesser expenses and increase
the profit American Cultiyator.
