Schroeder said:
Il did what 1 knew to be right and
the results showed that 1 was entirely
right"
THE natives of GUAM he said,
"are very anxious to learn English,
and l am looking for some teachers Of
English to go to the island schools.
''Just at present the great need of
the island is good roads and they are
being provided as rapidly as possible.
The people have few amusements.

Labor is worth about 81 day, Mex

beginning to know the value of money
and to be willing to work for it.
Every one on the island is happy and
prosperous and no one knows what
actual poverty means"

1t Costs Less to Live.

The cost of living in the United
States to-day is less than it was in 1880.
General commodities, like bread
stuffs, sugar, rice, salt woolens and
cotton goods, etc., are considerably
cheaper and better made now than 30
years ago. All manufactured goods,
with hardly an exception, because of
improved processes of manufacture, are
either much cheaper or much better.
The Minneapolis Brewing Company,
which produces Golden Grain Belt''
beer, has put into improved quality all
the advantages Of modern methods of
production. Their beer, brewed from
the purest barley malt and hops, care
fully aged and bottled with perfect
cleanliness, is the most healthful of
modern beverages. Clear, sparkling
and delicious, it is an exceptionally fine
drink for family use. Order of your
nearest dealer or be supplied by Henry
Veidt, Princeton.

Making Butter on the Farm-C turning

Making Butter on the Farm-Churning
and Packing.
The most convenient churn for home
use is probably barrel churn, turned
by a crank. A 20 gal. churn will han
die 8 gallons cream at a churning, and
costs about $40. For working the but
ter, a small lever wooden butter worker
costing SIS to SIS will be found very salts
factory. The temperature at which
the cream is churned and the butter
worked Is an important point in max
ing butter easily and Of good grade and
appearance. A floating thermometer,
costing Csc, should be part of the
equipment. A wooden ladle and packer
will complete the outfit. "-a.
The cream should be cooled to a
temperature Or IS to so dogs. for churn-
ing. A higher temperature will result
in loss of butter fat in the butteymilk
and lower will take too long to churn
Milk properly soured will usually churn
at this temperature in 20 to 80 minutes.
The churn and worker should be scald-
ed before use, and cooled. It is Gus
tomary and proper, especially in winter
when butter is apt to be pale, to add
sufficient butter to impart a uniform
tint to the product throughout the sea-
son. This should be added just before
churning. Turn the churn at a rate to
produce the greatest amount of concus-
sion of the cream. Watch carefully
when the butter begins to form, and
cease churning while the mass is still
In granules about the size of wheat
grains. Drain off the buttermilk thor
oughly and wash three times in cold
water, allowing each washing to drain
off completely before adding the next.
Then salt the butter as it lies in the
churn. With cream of average thick
ness and good salt, one Id. salt will
flavor the butter from 20 quarts of
cream.
The worker should be kept wet and
cool during churning to prevent stick
ing. The butter should be worked until
it is firm and compact, but will still
break showing the grain when lifted
with knife.
1t is important to market butter in
uniform, convenient sized packages.
Small jars of ID. capacity are very
suitable. The butter should be closely
packed, and the top leveled. This is
best done by drawing string across
the top of jar and lifting off the surplus.
A piece of oiled paper, placed over top
protects from dirt and odors.
Off the churning is done in a cool,
clean place, and care and cleanliness
are observed in all details, the best
grade OF butter can be produced on any
farm.

CROP BULLETIN.
Minnesota Crop Conditions for the Week
=. Ending Sept. 2.

Minnesota Crop Conditions for the Week
Ending Sept. 2.
The temperatures were moderate,
though on the 18th, 30th and 31st they
were somewhat lower than on other
days of the week. Moderate to light
rains were pretty we'll distributed on
the evening of the Goth, and there we're
very widely scattered showers on the
25th, 26th and Doth. On the 28th a
heavy wind accompanied the rain in
Kittson county, with damage to hay
stacks and grain in shocks. The rains
revived pastures, gardens, late corn
and late potatoes, according to the
amount which fell, and in few places
in the South the soil was nicely soften
ed for blowing, but in general much
moro rain is needed. Thrashing has
been going on we'll during the week,
except for short delays where the
showers we're heaviest The small
grain not intended to be trashed from
the shock is all stacked. In the ex-
IRENE North a very little grain is still
standing, but this will be cut by Sept.
4th. There is much late fax to be cut
in the Red river valley, and little as
far South as Traverse county. Early
corn is ready to be cut as far North as
Wilkin and Ottertail counties, and in
the South half of the State much is
already in shock; the late corn will be
safe from frost by Sept. 18th. In few
places in Wilkin, Ottertail, Lyon and
Murray counties, the corn is said to be
very good, but generally good deal of
it will be used principally for fodder.
Potatoes are very poor in most places.
In Mobiles county winter rye is being
seeded. The apple crop is poor. The
estimated loss by the severe hail storm
in Minneapolis on the evening of the
Oath will aggregate over SITS, 1000, while
over path extending northwestward
from Minneapolis for over rs miles by
half mile in width, the loss was very
heavy.

HERMAN H. CHAPMAN,
A Panther Hunt .

Chicken hunters returning tell of
having seen a large panther near the
farm of Bert Hutchinson, located near
the old Brady farm. The animal was
seen to jump from tree and disap-
pear in the woods last Sunday. It has
been see off and on in the locality of
the Hutchinson farm for the past three
years. The nimrods who saw it should
organize panther hunt and invite
"Teddy'' to join them, for he no doubt

Anent the County Fair.

EDITOR UNION: In your article sc
last week regarding county fair, YOU
say that the officers Of the Fair Asso.
citation should take the initiative
toward a fair. Ordinarily that. is cor
rect, but in the present case / think
otherwise.
# you will look back to October, 1900
file Of UNION, you will find where 4
call was published for officers and
every one interested in continuing the
fair to attend a meeting and organize
for the coming year, but very few
turned out, not enough to do business.
Again, in April of this year, inserted
notice OF meeting for the purpose of
electing officers and preparing for a
fair, but no one attended; in neither
case did business man manifest the
least interest. Under these circum-
stances I do not feel that I, as one Of
the officers of the Fair Association.
should go ahead and push the matter
when there is so little interest mani
fest among those that should be the
most interested. Your business men
mostly appear to look at it as matter
OF dollars and cents, they being willing
to take in the dollars if others will only
manifest the interest and bring in the
crowds. If the matter had been taken
up last fall and preparations then
begun, Princeton would have had one
of the best county fairs in the State
this year. .---.
AS early as October inquiries were
coming in and exhibits offered for this
year.
/ The fair last year was considered bv
all to be the best held for several years
and this years could have been much
better. 1t is the universal regret |
find, throughout the country, that
nothing is being done this year toward
fair. It looks to me to be serious
mistake for Princeton people to take
no Interest and let their county fairs
die out. There is certainly no better
way to advertise the village and county
than by holding successful fairs.
The Princeton Fair Association has
for several years been in low financial
condition. 1t should be reorganized
and started anew, with interest created
enough that new shares of stock could
be sold sufficient to secure grounds for
term of years, and erect suitable
buildings, &C.: then go ahead and hold
fairs that would grow in interest and at
tendance from year to year. If Prince
ton does not take the matter no
Milaca Undoubtedly will, and once it
goes there, it will be hard to again get
one at Princeton. A fair can be still
held this fall by prompt action, but let
the business people manifest an inter-
est. Three counties in the State hold
their fairs in October this year; Mile
Laos might make the fourth.

The Regular Sale Sept. Will Give Sheep

The regular sale Of the E. Mark Live
Stock company will occur on Saturday
Sept. 7, and promises to be one of the
best of the series. In addition to the
usual number of horses Mr.. Mark will
offer for sale a large number of mich
COWS and 500 sheep, mostly ewes. The
sheep industry is rapidly coming into
prominence in this section and the
farmers find that no better method of
clearing land can be adopted than that
of pasturing sheep on their brushy
tracts. The increase and the pelts
makes it doubly profitable too.
Besides the Sheppard COWS the COM
pany will offer 125 western horses, 100
drafters and drivers, and the usual
stock of wagons, buggies, harness, farm
machinery, etc. The company also has
few Shetland ponies left which will
be closed out.
