Good and had Butter.

Have yon ever stopped to think that
the world is hungry for a fresh. highly
favored creamery-butter, and that, the
demand for the same is greater than
the creameries can supply? Have you
ever stopped to think that there is not
an eater In the land hungry for the
butter you sell at the grocery store?
Nine Of every ten pounds Of butter sold
at the grocery goes into q barrel and
Ia sold as packing stock for several
cents a pound less than the merchant
paid for it, and is not offered to the pub
lie as butter until 1t is purified and
sells at q higher price than its maker
received. What is wrong with such q
system? Give to your creamery every
pound Of cream you make into this, low
priced grease. and the increase In
price you will receive will make you
smile.-Exchange.

showing. The breeder alleged that the
red hog may be the best hog for the
farmer but said that the packer does
not especially admire him. Why is
this, If it is a fact? We presume that
1t is entirely owing to the large size
Inc heavy weight Of the red hog added
TO the we'll known fact that the pack
ers are nowadays after a medium, we'll

good percentage Of carcass to live

1t may be that the PC bears more
lard and that lard is more profitable
compared with extra large sides and
hams of mixed meat and, bacon. It is
certainly a great thing in favor Of the
red hog that the SOW is so prolific and
that she has an abundant supply OF
milk for her pigs, but there are a lot
of things we want to know from the
red hog breeder before we form a
fully matured" estimate of the value
OF his big breed. Experiments at hand
do not furnish much information about
Duroc-Jersey swine. IN some Ontario
experiments made in 1896 two Duroc-
Jerseys fed the same way as two PC
hogs (pure bred) made a daily gain
of 1.16 lbs. compared with 1.03 lbs.
made by the latter. At the close ct the
experiment the DIS weighed 1919 lbs.
and the PCS 100 lbs. The former
dressed 1921 per CEN dressed carcass.
and the latter 77.18 per cent. At the
commencement of the experiment the
DIS weighed an average of 81 lbs.
and the PCS an average Of SO lbs.
To make a gain of 100 lbs, the DIS
required $50 lbs. of food and the PCS
507 lbs. of food. In similar expert
ments carried out at the Michigan Elk.
Station, the PCS made a daily gain
o: l.20 lbs. and the DIS a daily gain
Of 1.47 lbs. At start o. experiment the
PCS weighed an average of 81 lbs.
and the DIS 80 lbs. At the close of
the experiment the PCS weighed 264
lbs, had used 514 lbs. Of food for 100
lbs. of grain and dressed 84.7 per cent.
The D-I,s weighed at close of expert
ment 800 lbs. had used 467 lbs. of food
per 100 pounds Of grain and dressed
1872 per cent. This will give our
readers a chance to figure out exactly
which is the best hog. 1t also relieves
us Of the responsibility Of judging in
the matter.

Al last California has taken q step
toward a dairy school. The University
Of California announces that a dairy
school will begin at the university Oc-
tober 8 and continue till December IL.
The announcement is further made
that only 80. students will be received
the first year. This looks small along
side Of what some of the eastern states
are doing, but probably the California
dairymen are thankful for even q start.
It has been notorious that up to this
time the great gold-producing state
has been utterly negligent Of the edu-
scational interests Of her dairymen.

The California station has been look
ing into the poultry business a good
deal and some valuable data have re-
suited. Analysing the egg. they found
the following: Shell, 1881 per cent Of
the whole; yolk, 32.47 per cent; white.
56.42 per cent. Over 90 per cent of the
shell is found to be carbonate Of lime;
over 4 per cent organic matter and
water; less than 1 per cent carbonate
Of magnesia, and the same amount
phosphate4 OF the yolk, about half is
water; Is per cent protein and 80 per
cent fat. Mineral matters in the yolk-
lime, magnesia, phosphates-total less
than 2 per cent. OF the white, about
Sc per cent is water, IL protein. and
fat about one-ifth of one per cent.
It is evident from a brief considera-
ton of tho subject that the powers of
digestion Of fowls are somewhat DIFF
ferent from that Of other farm stock.
This difference is tn favor Of the fowl
and is due to the gizzard. This makes
it possible for the fowl to pulverize the
bony and other hard matter consumed.
To what extent this pulverized mate
rial is taken into the circulation we
do not yet know.

Settler Missing.

Reports from the western part
of the county the first Of the
week told Of much excitement ex-
listing around Ebro. It told of
the sudden disappearance of
Chas. johnson undersuch circum-
stances as lead to the belief that
he mad away with himself. Mr..
johnson is an aged WidoWer, liy-
ing alone on his claim, two miles
from Ebro.
Smoke was seen rising from
his place last Friday and the
neighbors who went to investi-
gate found his shanty burned
down as well as his wheat stacks.
It was evident that both fires
were set by somebody, and it is
feared that johnson became de
mented, set the fires, went into
the woods and destroyed him

made for him.

construction. Men are sleeping
in tents and barns, as the hotels

commodate more than two-thirds
of the crowd. Twenty five cars
of equipment and supplies are on

Special Meeting.

There will be special school meet
ing at the city hall, Friday, Sept. u.
The board of education finds that in
order to carry on the schools the en-
suing year that it is absolutely neces-
sary to retire the outstanding orders
of the district amounting to $4,000
principal and interestl by issuing
bonds for that amount. In order to
sell our bonds at low rate of per
cent it is essential to have full vote
of the people cast, and to that end all
may have an opportunity to vote. A
special meeting will be held Friday
from a. m. to p. m. The proceeds
Of the sale of these bonds is to be
used solely for the purposes OF taking
up school orders which have been ac-
cumulating for the past three years or
more. A part of these old orders
bear and per cent, and about one
half of them being for teachers
wages bear 10 per cent interest; there
fore, it is evidently to the taxpayers
interest to refund them in bonds at 8
per cent. Every father and mother in
the district who is interested in keep
ing the schools open should be sure
to vote on this question at the city
hall on Friday next. Every taxpayer
who is interested in reducing the rate
of interest on S12, 600 Indebtedness
from s, I and 10 per cent to a fiat 3
per cent rate will also see that his
vote is recorded in favor of reduced
taxation.
By order of the board of education.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF KISSING.
BECAUSE a bridegroom down
I'D in Virginia delivered solar
plexus to the minister when that
dignitary kissed the bride, the
editor Of the Bemidji Pioneer ap-
plauds and says this promiscuous
kissing business has got to stop.
Bet 81 cents the editor OF the
Pioneer is a crusty old bachelor
whom no one but a Bemidii maid
Of late-in-the- afternoon years
would kiss. Hutchinson Times.
The Times has sized up our
misfortune in being a bachelor
all right, but we deny with hor-
ror the insinuation that we be-
long to the 'crusty old" class.
Owing to our natural bashful-
ness we shall not try to win that
81 cents; but we hope our ideas
on promiscuous kissing will not
place US in that class which OPP
poses kissing in any form. We
would feel very sad to be SO mis-
understood.
We know there are lot OF
pickerel-faced cranks and scien-
fists who say that there are mi
crobes in kisses; that these fungi
browse upon the lips Of beauty,
and in skipping from mouth to
mouth spread disease and grave
yard tickets. Webster defines a
kiss as a salute made by touch
ing with the lips pressed closely
together and suddenly parting
them" The average person
could not describe it as calmly
perhaps, but would call a kiss
Sweetness that never sours, or
the whole of heaven taken in a
single dose. . But the scientist
tells US that the gentle ripple of
a kiss is a sounding dirge-it is
a flaming sword--a skull and
cross bones game. But we be-

the lips it satisfies? Who would

A kiss is a cognac distilled in

bottled from the fountain of
youth. It makes the aged heart
beat like a school kid; it causes
the toothless old sinner to rise
upon his hind feet and neigh like
a two year-old. 1t will cure the

ALL A BLUFF.

THE republican state central
i committee is catching it on
all sides for the recent press
bulletin editorial, referred to in
this column once before. The
Bemidji Pioneer, a rock-ribbed
party paper, wants to know
Has the republican state CEN
trail committee gone daft? If
not, what does it mean BY an
nouncing that Van SAINT prefers
to run against John Lind?
The Pioneer and others inter
ested will be relieved to know
that the press bulletin editorial
was not inspired by Van SAINT,
and that it appeared without his
knowledge. The bulletin is sent
out without the aid or connivance
of any one in the governors
office. IL
The appearance OF that edi-
torial means that the state COM
mittee is satisfied that Lind will
again be the nominee. AS we
said before, it is a good, hearty
bluff. Its expediency at this
time is rather doubtful, however.
Every one knows that Governor
Van SAINT would rather run
against a weak candidate than
again battle with the strongest
democrat in Minnesota. He does
not shirk from the contest by
any means, but to say that he
prefers Lind as an opponent lis
to laugh. !" Minneapolis Journal.

HER HEART SPOKE AT LAST.
sI'd ruther be homeless old maid

For four years Joe and Bob had
courted the fair belle of Slab juno

with no outward bitterness. Her
smiles were given impartially to both
suitors, and the numbers on her pro-
grams were divided as evenly as
possibly between the two, If Joe
escorted her to a dance, she was char

i weekly and daily press has
been filled with suggestions as
to wiping out anarchy from this
fair country. AS a rule the press
has declared that the food upon
which anarchy thriyes in this
country is yellow" journalism
and the tired hots" from the car
toonist's ink bottle. We believe
that the yellow journals and the
yellow politicians are responsible
for much of the disrespect shown
to our representatives in high
places. They will expand truth
and dynamite the noblest hero
in order to secure their selfish
ends. And the great American
spirit of federation and love of
free speech fills their sails and
blows them onward.
From the active discussion now
going on one would imagine that
the family Of anarchists on our
shores is to be removed at once.
"A hundred remedies are offered
guaranteed to exterminate i'm
mediately. But we imagine this
great evil is greatest when re-
sisted. Though banished from
every land, with the prison walls
before it and the scaffold behind
it, the spirit of anarchy will con-
tinue to curse mankind as long
as ignorance, vice and insanity
find a foothold upon the earth.
After all, an anarchist is a
brother Of Judge Lynch, in spite
of his poorer clothes. When
lynching ceases in the south and
west, when the state laws are en-
forced in one-quarter of the cities
of this country, when the
malicious liar is run out of any
town it will be soon enough to
publish the obituary of anarchy.
But don t for nom ent try to
visit the sins of anarchy upon the
cartoonist. Sometimes he is a
bad man, but oftener he is the
servant of worse men. While it
is true that he belittles the great
est and humbles the proudest
with his wicked pen, we notice it
more because he can strike
harder than the writer whose
ideas he copies. We know of but
one cartoonist whose work is not
in perfect harmony with the edi-
torial page of the paper for which
he draws. And he is Mr.. Bow
man of the Minneapolis Tribune.
He is often more brave in oppos
ing wrong and more active in
booming justice than the editors.
Behind the anarchist is the
cartoonist; behind him the yellow
papers; behind them the willing
readers, and behind them a
broad spirit of lawlessness blow
ing as freely in republics as in
monarchies. What is to be done?
Make anarchy treason in law as
it is in spirit. Then enforce the
law and all other laws. Breed a
purer political campaign. Guilt
vate broader charity. Let such
men as Charles Towne refrain
from pointing to imperialism as
coming over the hill. " Kill the

Away from the ties of the parent nest
Away from the folks at home;

A path that may end with h.

A home In settlers shack.

And crowded the red man back.

The steps Of the pioneer.
