From the Fourteenth Annual Report
Of the Iowa State Dairy Commissioner
we take the following.
The prime requisite for a successful
creamery is a good butter-maker The
time has gone by when most anybody
can run a creamery and make accept
able butter The demand IS now only
for the best. and the best butter-mak-
ers cannot be hired for farm hand
wages. It IS unfortunate that a few
creameries attempt 70 be economical
in the matter Of paying the butter
maker. but e Is almost invariably i
mistaken economy and one that rel
suits IN real loss IN the end TIE
average wages for the state $3.50 IS
none too high for any butter-maker
worthy the name. and it Is greatly too
much for the man who does not know
how to make good butter It does not
follow that the wages a man IS now
receiving IS criterion by which bis
ability can be judged, but It IS true
that a creamery is more likely to Get
better results with a $50 man than
with one who only considers himself
worth $35. A creamery in me dairy
section of the state which had bad
experience with both kinds rRTote this
ofice for advice. as follows. The
creamery. under the management or a
butter-maker who had been paid $50
per month"; bad always received the
money for the butter shipped within
a short time after the same was re-
ceived into market. and 50 had got in
to the habit Of paying for their milk
on the FIRST Of the month. hasing the
price q be paid upon the quotations
Of the markets at that time. A new
set Of directors hired a cheaper man
for the sake Of economy. and at the
time Of writing this Office found the
creamery 81 400 IN debt The main

folly Of closing on Sunday. They are

reasonable to urge that the workmen

OF seeing it with their families. of
course. would be on Sundays. since
they must work at something else on
weekdays when their work in the fair

WILL CASE CLOSED.
Testament of Decedent Disregsrded
by South Dakota Courts.

ny
SIOUX FALLS, Jan. Especial "A
unique contest over the legality of a will
which has been in progress for about
i've years, has just been determined in
the courts of Lake county Mrs Jennie
M. Bell, wife Of w J. Bell of Madison
died In 1885, and her husband offered
Tor probate will that left her entire
estate, which consisted of about SS 900
worth Of farm lands in Iingsbury conn
ty and $1,000 worth of personal property
to the husband. This was contested by
Mr.. StarkWeather, a half brother of Mrs
Bell, who resides in Wisconsin and who
claimed that deceased had made d sub
sequent will, leaving half of the estate
TO Starkweather's children This will
could not be found, nor was it ever in
evidence during the long-drawn out con-
test over the property. Witnesses, how
ever, testified as to the deceased having
made this will and that it was made
subsequent to the will leaving all to tho
husband. Mr.. Bell admitted the making
of the two wills, but claimed that the
Starkweather will was made six months
prior to the will leaving the estate to
him. StaTkweatner claimed that it was
made six months after the Bell will.
Judge Jones, of the state circuit court,
decided against w. J. Bell. The case
was appealed to the state supreme court
which recently affirmed the decision of
the lower court Mr.. Bells counsel then
made arguments for rehearing but this
has been denied and the case is closed
The estate will now be divided according
to statute, as though deceased had left
no will at all.
