Poem by Kansas Hermit.

General Hugh Cameron. the Kansas
Hermit. has the following to say about
the war. He was general in the Civil
war and knows what it means:
This August sun whose scorching rays
Blister fallen maiden bushes,
Gives pause to chopping in the praise
OF patriots of early days.
And yet the need of solemn warning
Against that greed which onward PUSHES,
Moves me to chop some of morning;
Also, to pray for the dehorning
OF John Bull calves that bawl for war.
When l have felled my last large tree,
Praised patriots with brains and hair,
I'll chop at Bill Mckinley s war
And his imperiality.
1 hope that then I will be free
To chop with great CELEBRITY
And without Partially.

LOWER BUTTER PRICES.
Wholesale Dealers of New York to
Join With the Farmers.

New York. Aug. 21.-A special to the
Press from Binghampton, n. Y, says:
The Five States Milk Producers associa-
ton held a meeting at Walton and after
it announced that the wholesale butter
dealers of New York will join the farmers
of the state and withdrew from the milk
exchange. This was made necessary; it
was explained by the action of the farm
ers which has raised the price of milk and
consequently the price of butter. The
farmers are prepared to furnish it from
their recently established creameries at a
lower price than the Milk Exchange. This
will lower the retail price of butter to
Dected.

Census Of Blue -Bluoded Animals

An enumeration Of pure-bred farm
animals in the United States will be
a part Of the twelfth census. The
main schedule for agriculture provides
for returning "the number June /, 1900,
Of all pure -blooded animals recorded or
eligible to record. on the farm "
While the Treasury Department, in
administering the tariff laws relative
to bred animals, does not accept
the verbal statements Of owners or
agents, but requires certified evidence
in writing Of the pedigree claimed, the
census enumerator will be compelled TO
rely pretty generally, if not wholly. upon
verbal replies as to whether stock is
pure bred.
Director Merriam requests that ali
who are not certain whether their un'
registered animals are grade, or pure
bred and "eligible to record, " take
steps definitely to settle the point, and
thus be prepared without hesitation to
give the eDumerator accurate informa'
tion
