Experience with a Hand Separator.

EXDGT10AC@ WIN ID LIAM SGEt&E%tVAs
A writer in the Farmers Guide re-
lates his experience with the hand sep
arator. When he was setting his milk,
skimming and churning the cream he
found by a two months record that he
made a pound of butter from a little
over tw%enty-four pounds Of milk. For
the same length Of time when using
the separator he made a pound OF put
ter from eighteen pounds Of milk,
which was a gain Of about thirty per
| cent. This increase was not kept up
through the summer, but he had aver
aged a gain of twenty per cent. for
| fifteen months in the amount of butter
made from the same weight OF milk.
| He also learned another thing from his
| daily record of weight Of milk n
| amount of butter made. He did not
| feed any grain during the summer
| while COWS were on grass last year,
| and it required from twenty-one to
| twenty-five pounds of milk to make a
pound of butter, but he began to feed
grain in October, and as he gradually
approached full rations the amount OF
butter increased, until in January he
| could make a pound of. butter from
| IT'S pounds of milk. The churn test
| from jun 1 to September 30 showed
AZ pounds of butter made to each 100
pounds of milk, and from October l to
:Januar- 81, 81 pounds, a gain of four
nfths of a pound to each 100 pounds OF
milk. While some part Of this gain
NAV have been due to the cows being
further advanced in lactation, he be-
| 1ieyes. as we do, that some part OF 1t
was due to the better feeding.

school Ron Rings by Electricity.

Near Roanoke, ILL.,, near the centez
Of the state, there is a school teacher
whose ingenuity might not please all
Of his pupils-that is, the indolent
ones. Il. N. Wheelwright teaches a
district school, and In a district school,
you know-or perhaps some city chill
dren do not knew-the teacher has to
ring the bell and build the fire and
sweep the floor, unless he pays some
ambitious boy to do 1t for him. But
this teacher does net have to hire q
boy to ring the bell, nor does he ring
1t himself, yet, no matter what he may
be doing at 9 o'clock in the morning,
the bell sets up a cater that no boy
or girl can escape. MI. Wheelwright
has arranged a clock which at the
proper. hour sets in motion an electric
apparatus that puts the bell to ringing.
The boys Of that district have no longer
any hope that the teacher will be so
engrosed in some task that he will for
get to call school. The bell rings also
at 10:45 a. M. l p. m, 2:30 p. m. and
af 4 o'clock.

The richest milk Is that taken last

the first milk drawn. 1t is important,
therefore, that each cow be MIXED to

milk will be richer. but also because

MINIMUM WAGE LAW.

Attorney-GeneraI Taylor CONSTITUTES 1t In
Reply to Query.
In an official opinion on the
minimum wage law enacted by the
general assembly, last winter, Attorney
General Taylor says that ii the decision
of the New York court of appeals shall
be held to be the law in this and other
states, the minimum wage law of 1901
will fall. Until it is so declared to be
illegal, however, it is the duty of all to
obey the law. The opinion is directed
to Joseph Ricketts,, city attorney of
Frankfort, who asked whether the law,
as applied to cities and towns, is q valid
exercises of legislative power. Omit
ting stations, Mr.. Taylor says, in part
81 think it can not be questioned but
that the state can fix the rate of wages
to be paid to all employees of the state,
whether officers or laborers. 1t 10
probable the same rule would apply to
officers, employers and labOrers of
counties and townships. This law,
however, does not apply to townships;
therefore, that question does not arise.
1t does apply to the state, counties,
cities and towns, and your query spplies
TO cities and towns.
al have examined the question some
what carefully, but do not find enough
authorities to fix any definite rule on
the subject, as applied to cities and
towns.
"The above cases arc the only cases /
can find directly in point on the
question. If the decision of the court
of appeals of New York shall be held
to be the law In this and other states,
of course. the minimum wage law of
1901 will fall. Until it is so declared TO
be illegal, it is the duty of all to obey it.
L, of course, have no jurisdiction over
either city or town affairs"

The lawyer editor, the once polit-
ical boss editor, the military hero
editor and the life insurance editor
of the little daily paper that issues
from the Republican office, held a
conference with himself and decided
that the Daily Independent is dis
reputable because IT is laboring for
street paving. We beg to suggest
that one cannot build up reputa-
ton for himself by abuse of his
neighbor. Neither can news
paper establish the principles it ad
vocates by calling its envied oppon-
ent dIsreputable publication 1t
may do for a season, but the public
eventually investigates the charges,
considers the motive, locates the
blame and, like "chaff before the
gale" they are scattered to the four
winds.

LEARNED BY BITTER EXPERIENCE
The Democrat says that the pub
Usher of the Independent has much
to learn about politics that he does
not know at present. The pub
Usher of the Independent will adj
nit that the Democrat editor has
learned much about politics by bit
ter experience. Let us remind him
that the publisher of the Independ-
ent is not constantly exhibiting sore
spots, even if he don't know
much about politics. If he is
the politician he claims to be, the
publisher of the Democrat will GER
tainly quit Parading his disaPPoint-
ments and join with the publisher
of the Independent in reunlting the
democracy of Marshall county.
The publisher of the Independent
has never symPathized with the
views of those who deserted the
party in go and 1900, but it sees no
sense in bellyaching about past diff
ferences since the party issues have
changed. The Democrats grum-
bling or account of those getting
control of the party machinery
W HON he does not like, places itself
in the very position that it claims
the deserters of the party have been
in. Come, Brother Mcdonald, lets
quit quibling when those in control
of the party don't do things accord
ing TO our way of thinking.

The editor of the Democrat won,

The editor of the Democrat won't
consent to allow the publisher of
the Independent to dictate to him
what his duty as a democrat TO his
party is. Perhaps it is good pol
itics to keep hammering the men
IN control of the party for three and
half years out of every four and
then support the party half year
out of every four, but the publisher
of the Independent can't agree with
HIM. If one will read the editor
ials of the Democrat between the
lines, he will discern that its editors
craftsmanship is determined solely
by personal interest and in so much
as his political ambitions have not
been realized, his paper is fighting
the party machinery about four
fifths of the time. Such work may
be fighting the battles of the party
but few people think so.

Elmer TrOyer, son of Samuel Troyer,

Elgin, Ill, where he has employment.
He came home few days ago to
recuperste from a bullet wound which
he received on the left arm from the
weapon of horsethief. For some
time the farmers near Elgin have been
pestered with hOrssthieves, so guards
were placed at the barns and constant
wstch was kept. About $50 O'Clock on
Tuesday of lsst week, Troyer, who was
secreted IN the corn crib at the resi-.
dence of Robert Watson, saw two men
come from grove and go towards the
horse barn. He challenged them and
they replied by opening fire on him.
Troyer promptly replied and hit one of
them, who fell. His companion con-
tlnued to shoot and hit Troyer in the
left arm, disabling him. The firing
aroused neighbors and a posse of POO
farmers turned out within a few hours.
Most of them were mounted, and they
searched the country until nearly day
light, when q trail of blood was found
leading from the spot where the shoot
ing took place. 1t wea followed some
