DAIRY DEVELOPMENT.
Wonderful Progress In This Branch
of Agriculture.

No branch of agriculture in recent
years has had larger development than
dairy farming, says the New York
Sun, and no branch has better repaid
educational efforts in the direction Of
scientific methods Butter and cheese
factories and the mechanical method
of separating the cream have revolu
tioniZed dairying at home and abroad,
and the large concerns for the manu-
facture'Of milk products in the United
States, Canada, Denmark and else
where also have compelled the farmer
to look more carefully after the quail
ty of his milk, for this question does
not escape attention at the creameries.
Canada comes near employing kin
dergarten methods in her new regions,
where the pioneer farmer is just be-
ginning to produce milk. Through
the department of agriculture and
dai1ying he learns the system of cat
tie farming that produces the best re-
suits, and the government takes entire
charge of his creameries for a series Of
class article of butter and cheese and
to market it for him, the net proceeds
after deducting expenses, being dis
tributed among the farmers in proper
ton to the quantity Of milk each has
contributed. Many of the creameries
in the Northwest Territories have been
started in this way, the department Of
agriculture resigning the management
as soon as the farmers are able efti-
GENTLY to direct the business them
selves. There is no doubt that the fOs-
tering care and encouragem Cana
da is giving the dairy interest have
contributed much to it's remarkable
development. The exports of butter
to Great Britain in 1894, $43S, $50, in.
creased to $1,653, 421 two years later,
and the cheese exports have grown
about $5,OOO,OOO in five years.
Such facts show the financial success
Of basing dairy pursuits upon honest
and scientific methods. The consump-
ton of milk will be far greater than it
is today when hygienic production and
handling are universally required. The
results of dietary studies have repeat
edly shown that 1.-The nutrients in milk
are equal in physiological value to
those of meat and are far less ex-
pensive," and these facts are becOm-
ing more generally known. Scientific
discovery, moreover, promises to con
fer other boons upon the dairy farmer
and the milk consumer. 1t is not very
many years since the invention of
rapid method Of separating cream
from milk gave great impetus to but
ter making, and there is now every
probability, according to scientific
men, that the means will soon be per-
fected Of preserving the freshness Of
milk for weeks without deterioration
or change OF flavor and at small cost.

The weekly crop bulletin issued by the
United States department Of agriculture
for the week ending August I, says:
The temperature conditions were fairly
uniform throughout the week, the
average ranging from 60 degrees, along
Lake Superior, to y degrees over the
southwestern counties. Generally 1t was
slightly cooler than last week and about
5 degrees cooler than the same week last
year. The distribution of rainfall was
very uneven. Generous and even heavy
rains occurred over the southern half of
the state, while practically no rain fell
in the northerH portion, where the soil
is becoming very dry and crnps in many
localities are suffering. Corn has made
excellent growth during the week es-
pecially in the southern counties, where
the rain has been abundant. The crop
in the northern section is still in good
condition, although in need Of rain. It
is generally strong and healthy and free
from smut. Harvesting of grain is prac-
tically completed. Oats and barley are
mostly secured and some threshing has
been done. Oats are reported as turn
ing out well. Spring wheat is generally
a good crop The rains in the southern
and central counties have greatly bene-
fitted late potatoes, but in the northern
section the crop has deteriorated to some
extent on account of dry weather and
blight. The present condition of the
tobacco crop is generally very good, and
early paintings are being topped.

IT IS a curious, as we'll as significant
fact that out of the 100000 Indians in
this country, only IS are insane, six i'd
otto, and two partly so. This is record
which no other people in the world can
match, whether they be civilized or not.
Until now, no special provision has been
made for these helpless wards of the ma
ton. A few are taken care of at retreats
for the custody of such afflicted persons,
but the last congress made an appropri-
alton for the erection of an asylum where
all will be cared for. This paucity of in
sane persons among our Indians, when
compared with the far greater percent
age among cultured and civilized races,
is very suggestive and not at all credit
able to the latter

OVerSanguine Dairymen.

B. ID. says in The Country Gentle.
man that the Five States Milk compa.
ny has entailed great hardship on a
good many dairymen individually. The
high prices which the company pro-
posed to pay to the milk producer in
duced many farmers to purchase an
extra number of COWS, and the demand
for COWS caused their former owners
to ask high prices for them. Rather
than lose the prospective profits of
milk a considerable number Of dairy
men who had not the ready money to
purchase with went into debt for the
animals and now have that debt to
pay. The milk company has collaps-
ed, and the farmers have these extra
COWS on their hands, with no place tG
use the milk. Some Of it will undoubt-
eddy find it's way to the nearest cheese
factory, but under the most favorable
circumstances those who have bought
cattle on credit, expecting to get half
a cent extra for their milk and in that
way work out the cost, are placed in a
most unfortunate position. The sug-
gestion has been made that creameries
be built in the neighborhood Of some
Of these new dairy farms and the milk
be used in that way. But it takes mon
ey to build creameries, and those who
have gone into debt for COWS will
hardly feel like going in still deeper
by subscribing for stock in a new COM
pany. What will be the final result Of
these conditions it is as yet too early to
fOrnSnp

AN extraordinary result of a bank
failure is reported from Chicago, ip
which it proved to be possibly the best
thing that could have happened for the
stockholders. More than twenty years
ago the Third National Bank was put
into the hands of a receiver, who SO
shrewdly managed the assets that in two
or three years all the debts of the bank
were paid in full. There were left after
paying the debts several large parcels of
land that were at that time unstable.
When Chicago secured the Columbian
Exhibition, this land became valuable.
The receiver was offered million dol
lars for one hundred acres close to the
exposition grounds. This alone was
more than par for the stock which a
few years before had been worthless.
The receiver sold the land in pieces and
today this broken bank stock is worth
twice it's par value, as it has for years
paid good dividends, and now has ac-
cumulated 50 much money that the bank
has renewed it's normal business of re-
ceiving deposits and loaning money.

The recent address to the people is
not one to create a deep-spread impress
sion. With all due respect, there are
not few of the states 2,0O00O0 people
who never heard of Mr. Toohey of Mil
Rogers of Madison: and not all those
who have will leave their harvesters in
the field to pass along the alarm. The
three principles enunciated can hardly
be called winners The sturdy German
and other citizens voted down cheap sill
yer in 1896 by 100000 majority, though
the opposition to republicanism had a
majority four years previously. AS for
opposition to trusts, we all agree as to
that. As to "Imperialism, Mr. Bryan
failed to outline his policy beyond de
claring that the Filpinos had as much
right to self-gOyernment as the Cubans,
about which proposition none of US will
quarrel in the light of what we now
know II Bryan counselled withdrawing
all troops from the island he did not
make it clear The contention in the ad-
dress that the democracy of Messrs.
Toohey, Ryan and Rogers islands for
the people" is mere yerbiage. History,
the contention. The arraigning Of the
republican party for all human woes is
one that is familiar, and one that we can
stand up under in view of the fact that
there seems to be work for ali. This,
after all, is more vital to the head Of the
family than lot of generic rhetorical
rubbish from three professional polti-
clans. State Journal.

Delegates to Road Conzent:oa.

The State Board of Agriculture, which
constitutes a Committee on Delegates
for the Good Roads Convention, to be
held during state fair week, has appoint
ed delegates at large for each county in
the state. The delegate at large for
Rock county is A. G. Powers of Beloit.
He is to select three practical farmers
from each town in the county, whom the
State Board of Agriculture will appoint

CONGRESS Of MOTHERS
THE CHILDLESS WOMEN SHOW
THEIR KNOWLEDGE.
The Old Story of "Old Maids Children
and Bachelors Wives Being by Far
the Best.

A bright correspondent in Washing
ton undertook to find out some facts
with regard to the Congress of Moth
ers, lately held in that city. He says
81 undertook to ascertain how many
delegates to the congress of mothers,
which has been sitting in this city, have
children of their own and are discus
sing the topics before them from eXpe-
rience and how many from theory
alone. 1t is universally acknowledged
that nobody knows half so well as an
old maid how to bring up children and
before l had canvassed half a dozen
pews l found one who believes herself
to be endowed with great gifts in that
direction. She spoke with scorn when
she answered my inquiry, and boldly
took the ground that women without
children are much better qualified to
determine what is best for their well
fare, because those who are actually
mothers cannot contemplate the wants
and weaknesses of the human family
without being biased by affection and
Partially for their own blood. This
is why physicians never treat their own
| families.
| Besides, she added, mothers with
| babies have no time to think. 1t is
| probably true that at least one-half
| perhaps more, of the women who are
attending this congress are childless,
but that fact does not deprive them of
interest or zeal in the education of
children. We old maids can see where
mothers fail in their duty; we can stu
dy the effect of paternal and materna
influence without prejudice, and car
sit in judgment upon motherhood from
a purely disinterested standpoint. Fur
thermore, l can tell you that the very
worst cranks in this congress are WON
en- with big families, and If you viii
take the trouble to stay here and lister
to the proceedings you will find /
