UNIFORM QUALITY.
One of the Essentials In Selling
Dairy Products.


Dairy Products.
! The dairyman who cannot turn out
uniform goods has not yet reached the
point where he can call his business
successful, writes George E. Newell in
The American Cultivator.
A dealer or consumer is not looking
for the product of a dairy that is spot
ted in quality-that is. good one day
and mediocre the next.
One of the greatest triumphs IA but
ter making is to produce an article of a
high grade and have it so without any
variation Of quality from day to day.
To do this does not mean mere detail
work in the dairy room, but it en-
braces the whole extensive field of
dairying. which the amateur butter
maker in search Of improved methods
soon discovers, greatly to his ultimate
advantage.
When he finally succeeds in turning
out even grade, gilt edged butter, he
will probably have found that his
whole business has been revolution
lied and placed on paying basis.
So, | say, that for one who has never
tried it it is no light matter to use the
WatchWord uniformity on the dairy
farm. And yet to do so and to carry it
to q successful end mean prosperity
and permanent butter market.
Is dairying worth being followed if
one cannot have such 4 result?
First, COWS must be absolutely healthy
and kept in a vigorous physical condi-
ton.
Warm, sanative stables must be
maintained
The feeding and milking must be
done at strictly regular intervals.
Foreign favors in the milk will be
destructive to butter quality after
ward.
Milk must be removed to the dairy
room as soon as drawn from the COWS.
Any extremes Of temperatures in the
milk Or cream. either freezing or heat
ing, are injurious to the butter made
from it,
Milk should be strained into the re-
ceptacles prepared for it as soon as it
reaches the dairy room.
If setting is practiced, the cream
should be lifted from it within 36
hours, and "a hours are better
If a baby" separator is used, the
milk ought to be run through it as
soon as convenient after leaving the
udder and the cream be afterward
properly matured.
Temperature must be controlled in
the dairy room, SO that the best degree
Of heat or cold for the various stages
Of butter making can be readily OBJ
tanned.
Having once inaugurated q system of
good butter making with a high stand
ard Of quality established. the object
must then be to make everything so
subseryient to that system that no diff
ference in color, flavor OF texture in
the product is discernible from day to
daV,

AN EFFECTIVE SERMON.
A Trumpet Blast That Drove the Peo-
Me to Remembrance.

A Trumpet Blast That Drove the Peo-
pie to Repentance.
Z prominent Methodist churchman
recently told the following story Of old
Peter Cartwright, the famous preacher
and circuit rider Of many years ago:
The exhorter was holding q camp
meeting in Ohio. There was q great
number Of campers on the field, and
the eccentric speaker addressed vast
concourses at every service, but he
thought too few were being converted.
He felt that something should be done
to stir the sinners to repentance, so
he prepared a strong sermon Oh the
second coming Of Christ. lie told how
the world would go on in it's sin and
Wickedness, and at last Gabriel would
sound his trumpet and time would
come to an end. He described the
horrors of the lost and the joys of
those who were saved. The sermon
grew in intensity, and he brought his
people up to Il grand climax when sud-
denly the sound Of q trumpet smote
the ears of the anxious throng.
There was a great sensation, and
many fell upon their knees in terror
and began to repent and pray. Women
screamed and strong men groaned;
pandemonium was let loose for q few
minutes. After the terror had some
what ceased the preacher called to
man up a tree and he descended with
q long tin horn in his hand. The
cDp0 E-nr then turned in force wrath
and upbraided the people. He cried
out in stent0rian tones that if a man
with a tin horn up tree could
brighten them SO, how would it be in
the last great end when Gabrieps
trumpet sounded the lnell Of the
world The sermon had q great effect
upon the vast audience, and many
hundreds flocked to the front and were
converted.-NeW York Tribune.

!: BUILDING A SILO.
ONE OF MANY SIMPLE AND IN
EXPENSIVE STRUCTURES
MADE OF SLAVES.

Probably the cheapest silo to con-
struct as we'll as the one having tie
smallest percentage Of loss Of contents
Is the Stave silO 1t is the one Of all
others best suited to the needs Of the
small farmer and dairyman and is as
durable as it is cheap and easy Of con-
structiOn. In making siio 1t is good
plan to build q little larger than is ac-
tually needed at the time, in order to
provide for increase Of stock or increas-
ed use of ensilage. The first step in
the construction of a Stave SilO is the
foundation. EXcavate to the depth of
three or four inches and to the diam
eter of two feet greater than that Of
the proposed silo. Fill in the excava-
ton with large stones, using smaller
ones to fill in between the spaces.
Pound these stones down firm so that
there will be no after settling. Make
thin mortar Of q good quality Of ce-
ment, one part cement and four parts
of sharp sand, and pour it over the
stones and into the cracks between
them. After this is set put on another
coat, working it down level with a
trOwel, and finish off after this coat is
dry with a dust Of clear cement placed
thinly and smOothed over.
For slaves use hemlock or white
pine, sound and free from loose knots.
If the silo is to be - feet or less in
diameter, make the slaves Of 2 by 6
material, slightly beveled on the edges
in order to form the needed circle If

WHEN MEN MISS SUCCESS.
Xaleness and Incompetency Keep the
Business Novice Down.

Kaleness and TncOmpetency Keep the
Business Novice Down.
Walter P. Phillips, the founder of the
national newspaper corporation known
as the United Press, and the inventor
of Phillips telegraphic code, typical,
energetic American, who has put many
young men'in the news gathering bust
ness, believes that the cause of failure
everywhere among young business be-
ginners lies in incompetence.
Nine-tenths of the young men who
are struggling for a name and place in
the world are untitled for the callings
they have picked out for themselves. Be
sides an unlimited supply of energy
and whole heartedneSs in the work be-
fore him, the successful man of the
future must know his business from
A to T.
The next great drawback to success
is idleness. Nothing worth while is
accomplished without work. and plenty
of it. Things do not happen without
q cause, and behind every great life
there are years of concentrated energy
and tireless industry. Idleness will
make any man a failure; intelligent
work will land any man among the
successful. 1t is all so simple and so
trite that one hesitates to put the fact
down in cold blood, and yet how few
men recognize, or, recognizing. live up
to the axiom that labor conQuers all
things.
Idleness and the consciousness Of in
competency should make any man
ashamed Of himself and drive him to
do something that is worth the doing.
1t is within the grasp of every one to
learn some one thing that will yield
both pleasure and profit. Success
comes only to those who seek it.
The young man who is really in
earnest will not have to be advised
how to succeed. He may learn much
by studying the failures of others, how
ever, and he will always find, after
survey of the great legion Of the I'M
successful, that two causes have
brought them to their present misery
-idleness and incompetency-Satur

J. Morris and Loren Hill relate Pc
culiar experience with q tarpon and an
immense shark near Punta Gorda
While they were playing q large tarpon
a shark came up and bit half moon
weighing about ten pounds out of the
tarpon's belly This killed the tarpon,
but before it could be gated and pull
ed in the shark took out another half
moon a size larger, AS they were
hauling the tarpon aboard the shark
bit off the tail, eQualing one-third the
length and about one-fourth the weight
Of the fish The part that was left over
weighed 164 pounds. They beat the

\ STICK WITH A STORY.
Tae Odd Office Which 1t Performed
In a Gambling Den

zoe Odd ONCE nich 1T Perform ED
In "a Gambling Den.
There's an odd little story connect
Cd with this old cane," said a New
Orleans sporting man the other day.
"You will observe how heavy it is and
how the ferrule comes down to a sharp
point. 1t used to be carried by an old
chap who was a we'll known character
here back in the seventies. He had an
interest in a very crooked gambling
house. / won't hurt anybody's feel
ings by mentioning the exact location,
but it was saying that you might as
well slide your money under the door
and walk off. 1t saved time.
''This old fellow I'm speaking Of
never operated any Of the games, but
was apparently mere spectator. His
business was to dispose of what were
known technically as Knockers A
knocker was anybody who attempted
to put victim on his guard, usually a
well meaning but otficious friend. For
example, visitor would be playing at
one Of the games and his friend, look
ing on, would smell a rat. AS a rule
he would feel it his duty to say some
thing, and such suggestions were nat
urally resented by the house.
"When the old man would see a
knocker about to knock he would
hobble up, leaning heavily on his cane,
and plant the ferrule as if by acct
dent, squarely on the offenders foot.
Such a prod would cause the victim
excruciating agony, and be would i'm
mediately lose all interest in exposing
fraud. While he was writhing and
grooming the old fellow would over
whelm him with apologies and insist
upon his coming into the back room
to get a drink. Meantime the other
chap would be losing his money as fast
as he could get it out.
