II Does Not Pay to Make Dairying

On the Farm.

When we talk about preserving the
quality of milk in hot weather we must
remember that some milk keeps bet.
ter than others. / mean by this that
there are different grades of resistance
to the action of degenerative bacteria.
and that some milk will keep sweet
and pure longer than other kinds un.
der the same conditions. How is this
to be accounted for? one would nat.
urally ask. First, the healthfulness SIS
and vigor Of the COW in great meas
ure warrant the healthfulness and pur-
ity of her milk, as does also the char.
acter Of the food she eats. Pure,
healthy milk will not sour or taint pre-.

verse atmospheric conditions. One
frequent cause of a rapid degenerative
change in milk in hot wea ther, a cause
that is too often overlooked, is the

GROWING SUGAR BETS.
Prof. kcdzie Gives Seven Good Rcn-
sons Why This New Industry
should Prosper.

l. II is the means by which the peo
pie can subyert a huge monopoly.
2. II is legitimate industry
brought to marvellous degree of per.
fection by American skill and ingenui.
~. and the people have a right to its
full benefits.
3. The large amount of capital in.
vested which deserves protection
Thirteen sugar factories have beer
erected in our state at cost of ST..
100000. Next year the number of fac.
tories will be increased to 90. There
are now growing G0,OOO acres of sugar
beets in our state.
4. II is the money-getting crop for
our farmers. Last year there was
paid to Michigan farmers Sl,5O0,OOO
for sugar beets. In Bay county in
1900 the mortgages on 81 farms were
paid off by money received for sugar
beets. The price of farm lands near
sugar factories has increased by five
to ten dollars an acre.
5. 1t is a home industry, and the
benefits abide with our people.
6. 1t is the natural antagonist of
monopoly, and by its very nature IL
incapable of forming trust of any
kind.
z. II is the only great manufacture
ing industry in which the farmer must
secure his share of the profits.-Dr.
kedzie, of Michigan Agricultural Col.
lege, in Detroit Free Press.

The New Aspect Of Liberty.

There Is great. deal of novelty

able"-was the war cry In our great
civil conflict. Liberty Is still word
infinitely dear to every true Ameri.
can, but experience seems to be quail.
flying our definition of it. 1t used to
mean self-government, and equality
and fraternity followed after it nat
urally as part of the same mental
process. In that sense 1t is still our
ideal, for all people as well as for
ourselves: but our theories as to its
attainment, seems to have been grad.
ually modified. We have come to
think great deal about order, and
to suspect that the liberty which in.
cludes self.government has a price,
and that those, who cannot pay that
price must wait for 1t until they can.
That price is order such a degree of
order as will make 1t possible for CIV
ilization to advance. We have begun
to doubt whether liberty is at all
times, for all men of all races, a pam
acea for all political ills. We have
begun ito discriminate. We hold IL
berty in our own gift, and refuse, as
we look toward the PHILIPPINES, to be-
stow 1t in full measure. "They are
not ripe for it yet" we say. "They
are still children in the worlds great
family we will give them for the
present personal freedom and order,
with more to follow; but full liberty
and independence all at once we dare
not grant" And then we wonder
not little If we are doing right.
AS to that heaven knows; but GER
tainly we are doing our best. "Peace
on Earth, good will to men," are SEN
timents 30 closely associated that we
may not separate them. Though
sometimes our anxiety to make peace
prevail may cause our good will to be
questioned, We may.certainly insist
however doubtful of the 'comprehen-
siveness of our own wisdom-that our
obligations as promoters and conserv-
ators of the worlds peace are far too
grave to be neglected in the interest
of our reputation for mere good ma
ture. - From "The Point of View" in

How wind Affect. sprays.

An ideal condition for spraying ia
when the wind is still. AS there are
few days when the wind does not
blow, il is extremely difficult to oh.
tain ideal conditions for the work.
When the air is still the spray may be
evenly put on the tree and little OF
the mixture will be wasted. When the
wind is blowing it becomes necessary
to spray the tree from several sides
to get uniform application. Some
of our best sprayers find it advisable
to spray from not less than six diff.
ferent positions. If the air is still a
tree may be sprayed all over at one
time. But when the air is in motion
one-half of the tree will have to be
left till the wind hanges.-Farmers
