Big Victory I'm Pennsylvania.


After a desperate struggle the
farmers of Pennsylvania have won a
victory in the passage through the
state legislature of a strong anti-oleo
bill. 1t was hard and long bat
tie, in which the state grange and
other organizations took part. The
oleo interests were strong and we'll
organized, and they fought desperate
~ for their fraudulent profits. The
farmers did not have much money,
but they made a brave showing when
they organized for business. Why do
we keep on talking about organizing
and "getting together?" Because that
is the only way to turn the wrongs
of the farmer into rights.-Rural

QUALITY OF BUTTER.
Tests Made ut the Illinois University
IS Station Show That 1t Varies
A. from Day to Day.

n At the agricultural station at
|tached to the Illinois university, q
test was conducted last year for the
Especial object of studying the varia-
lions in the yield and quality of milk
obtained from q number of cows
Specially selected for the purpose,
and the results obtained were very
Ecurious, and in many respects very
conflicting. The experiment lasted
for period of close on a year. AS an
outcome of the results obtained dur
ing the period the officials having
charge of the researches came to the
following conclusions: l. The yield
Eof milk from different cows under
the same conditions differs greatly,
and that from the same cow varies
greatly from day to day. 2. The COM
position of milk is highly variable;
the ratio of the fat to other solids,
and that of other solids to water are
not constant as between different
Ecows or for the same cow on success
sive days. 3. The percentage of fat
Tor of other solids is not always high
est in the smaller yields, but cows
that give milk with high per cent.
epf solids generally show = low total
yield. 4. Fat is the most variable
constituent of milk, and its variations
are independent Of those of the
other solids; therefore, the yield
Of milk is a better intedx of the
other solids than it is of the fat. S.
Al regards the first and last milk
drawn, the proportion of solids not
fat is higher in the first, but the pro-
portion of fat is decidedly greater in
the last. 6. Neither day time nor
night time is shown to be superior as
milk-producing period. z. Different
cows differ in their power to make
milk from food, and the same COW
varies in this respect from time to
time. 8. Aside from the influence of
food or environment, each animal ex-
hibits individual variations of her
own, and such variations tend to
show something like periodicity in
the separate functional activities of
the animal body.

Corners I'm the Living Room.

A very pretty corner may be ar
ranged in any living-room by means
of a screen and divan. Over the divan
there may be, if you choose, a canopy,

screen answers every purpose of re-

readily portable, lends itself to the

Poor pastures do not pay for the
reason that it is to the interest of
the farmer that his cows secure an
abundance of food at the least cost.
The animals should not be compelled
to work for their food on the pasture
by trampling the ground in the
search for grass. AS soon as q pas
ture does not supply an abundance
the cattle should be taken off and
fed on green food at the barn, as they
will foil of in milk if the supply Of

afternoon Grace unfolded her plan t.

At a quarter to three the following
day a quiet, middle-aged man in
glasses seated himself beside little
table upon the pleasant, vine-shaGed
veranda of the Barker house, quite ob'
livious to the fact that Grace, fiat on
her stomach in the grass, was printing
along the veranda rail. in large letters
with white chalk, the words: 'The
greatest show on earth. Only two

A few moments later the patrons OF
the show began to arrive in little
groups of two or three. Each child
after paying two cents to Tom, whose
box Office was discreetly screened from
his mothers view by the large white
rose bush near the gate, paused on the
lawn to gaze for awhile at the uncon-
scious celebrity, who was intent upon
a chess problem.
After a prolonged stare. with min
gled feelings of awe, respect and Gu
riosity, and, above all, desire to get
the full worth of his or her money,
each child withdrew reluctantly to-
ward the back yard. Here they were
received by Grace, who formed them
by twos, regardless of size, into long
line.
"Now wait here until come back, y

The young conspirator had the grace
to blush at this, but she did not allow
herself to waver. She realized that it

AGUINALDo.s MANIFESTO

Aguinaldo's pesce manifesto is an
expression of man convinced against
his will. He accepts the verdict of
the majority in favor of submission
and processes to believe that he is
truly serving the best interests of
his compatriots and his ''beloved
country" He does not take the lead,
but follows his fellow countrymen
who have reposed their trust in the
United States. His attitude is ex-
pectant, and, while there is no reason
to doubt the honesty of his acceptance
without any reservation whatever"
of American sovereignty, there is
audible in his proclamation faint
note of distrust.
1t may be assumed that Aguinaldo' s
state of mind is characteristic of the
Filpinos in general. Absolute good
faith on our part and the redemption
of our promises in full measure.

HoBsON TO VISIT CERvEKA.

Hobson has applied for leave of alb
sence to visit Spain. where he will be
the guest of Admiral Cervera. He was
the guest of the Spanish admiral
once before on a notable occasion. 1t
was when he and other brave men
sank the Merrimac in the harbor of
Santiago in an effort to bottle up the
Spanish fleet. Hobson was captured,
but during his imprisonment was
kindly treated by the old Spanish
sailor, who admired his bravery.
Hobson and Cervera are devoted
