Han ding MILK.

In handling milk, says G. d. Hess
Of Ohio, exercise at all times the
strictest cleanliness. AS soon as pos
sible after being drawn from the COW
get the animal heat out of it. If bot
tied for city trade, run it through a
separator as soon as possible this
helps to aerate it and also to purify
it,, run the milk and cream back to-
gether again, and then as soon as pos
sible run it over a good cooler and bot
tie it, In we'll arranged room milk
should be in the bottle inside of ten
minutes after leaving the udder. Milk
should never at any time be left stand
ing exposed. No bottles should be used
that have not first been properly wash
ed and then sterilized. l have made it
a practice to put all my bottles and
milk utensils of all kinds in a steriliZ-
ing chest, heat same to 240 degrees
and carry them at this temperature
for 20 minutes. This is done every
day. Whether you are selling your
milk or only selling your cream or
making your product into butter, be
sure that whatever you sell is always
just as good as you know how to make
it. No dairyman today can afford to
be without a good separator. If you
are selling your milk to city trade, run
every gallon of it through the machine
before cooling. Nothing you can do
will purify your milk SO well. If you
are selling your cream, inside of 80
minutes after your milking is done you
can have the cream cooled and ready
for market, and you will have an arti-
Gle which will find ready sale. If your
dairy rooms are sweet and clean, will
guarantee the quality aside from the
per cent Of butter fat, and this you can
gauge to suit the demand Of the trade
you cater to. If you sell to the ice
cream people, you will find that cream
that will churn one and one-half
pounds butter to the gallon is good
enough. but for retail city trade you
will want cream that will churn at
least two and one-half pounds of but
ter to the gallon.

Thayer and Bryan.

When William Jennings Bryan first
went to Nebraska. he was hired to tGiHe
the stump against Thayer, who was
running for governor, and said some
hard things against the candidate.
'sThayer was elected" Bryan Is quoted
as saying in the Chicago Times-Her-
aid. after he took the governors
chair he was called to be POSTMASTER
at banquet at>which was set down
for a speech. did not care to go to
that banquet. l did not wish to meet
the governor. remembered all that
had said Of him, and felt cheap But
went and sat there through the early
proceedings quite uncomfortable.
FINALLY it came time for the govern
or to call upon me. He rose from his
seat, with programme before him, and
slowly said, Mr.. Bryan-Bryan.' Then
he slowly turned his eyes upon me and
addressed me, DO you speak or sing?
'"That is all ever heard from Gov
ernor Thayer as to what he thought Of
my campaign speeches against him."

They will make this place their home
and their many friends unite in wishing

Milton expects to be represented on
the county ticket this fall and will pre-
sent as it's candidate Miles Rice. who
desires the nomination for county treas
urer. Coming from the strongest repub-
lican town of the county and in every
way qualified for the position to which
he aspires, with large acquaintance
and long residence in the county. there
ought to be, and in our Judgment there
will be, no doubt of his nomination
The result of the town election was
surprise to many. The republican party
has demonstrated that it has in it's rank
boilers. but neither the Bryanites or
Dickeyites have any reason to get gay
over the election of Chairman Paul as it
was brought about by republicans who
bolted their nominee.
At the town meeting the recommen-
dations of the town board involving
tax of over two thousand dollars were
adopted and the following special ap-
preparations authorized, $3.50 for taking
care of the surface water at Fetherstons
mill, S25 damages to w Ell Lane, 500 to
Hayes & Seeger for sidewalk, one hun
dred dollars or more to build sidewalk
for seven families in the village of Milton
Junction and several hundred dollars to
be expended for sidewalk purposes in
the two villages. The gravel tax of near
ly one thousand dollars is added TO the
above.

THE STONE OF GRATITUDE,
Am Old Roman Legend That Treats
of the Topaz.

The topaz is called the stone Of graf
itude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang brazen gong before his pal
ace gates and sit beside it on certain
days, hearing and putting to rights the
grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice anG
help had but to sound the gong, and
Immediately admission into the pres
ence of Caesar was obtained.
One day a great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils, and Theodosius gave Or
ders that no one should modest the
creature and babe her tell him her
wish. The snake bent her crest lowly
in homage and straightaway told the
following tale:
Her nest was at the base Of the gate
way tower, and while she had gone to
find food for her young brood a strange
beast covered with sharp needles had
invaded her home, killed the nestlings
and now held possession of the little
dwelling. Would Caesar grant her JUS
tice?
The emperor gave orders for the por-
.npine to be slain and the mother to be
restored to her desolate nest Night
fell, and the sleeping world had forgot
ten the emperor's kindly deed. but with
the early dawn great serpent glided
into the palace, up the steps and into
the royal chamber and laid upon each
OF the emperor's closed eyelids gleam-
ing topaz. When Emperor Theodosius
awoke. he sound he was no longer
blind. for the mother snake had paid
her debt Of tude.-Exchange

well, that depends There are three
questions before the public-the money
question, trusts and Imperialism. Men
differ as to the relative value of these
questions, but the Republicans are on
the defensive on all Of them. Events
will do much to determine which issue
will exercise the most influence. For
instance, the currency bill, which Is now
in conference, has emphasized the money
question, because 1t attempts " odiiy

Every new trust tends to emphasize the
trust question. The Boef war and the
