From Good Farmers.
asked Mr.. Breuninger where he
gets his milk, and he said "from
Loudoun and Culpeper counties in
Virginia, Montgomery and Freder-
ick counties in Maryland. l make
it a point to get my milk from good
farmers, and good cattle, and l know
all about every farm that supplies me
with milk. Take Mr.. Joseph Will
mer Of Rapidan-he has fifteen hum
dred acres, nearly all pasture land,
and herd of high-grade cattle,
three-quarters Jerseys. He has a
large, well-ventilated barn, concrete
floors, men in white uniforms. He
has made the milk business a study,
and the one hundred gallons Of milk
he produces day is all of it pure,
sweet, rich milk.
Then there is William T. Brown
Of Loudoun county, Percyville, one
Of the sturdy, old Quaker farmers
of Virginia. He has one of the finest
herds of cattle to be found anywhere.
He and his sons handle the cattle
themselves, and they know exactly
what cattle require in order to be
healthful and give good milk. They
make study of this work, which has
led to the success of their business.
"Another farmer from whom we
get an excellent supply Of high-grade
milk is Benjamin White of Freder-
ick county, Maryland, who has made
special study of breeding thor
oughbred cows. He has a great
many registered cattle, both Jerseys
and Alderneys, and there is no herd
in that county that is better than his.
| get both cream and milk from him.
Il handle a total of about four
hundred gallons of milk and about
eighty gallons Of cream; most of this
is delivered wholesale. l have some
delivered to the trade, of course"
A Fair Price Necessary.
AS l was about to leave, Mr..
Breuninger emphasized the asking Of
fair price for milk: "Unless the
dairyman can get fair price for his
milk the public cannot expect to get
pure milk. It is unreasonable to ex-
pect pure, sweet milk at the price Of
thin milk. When the price of milk
is beaten down, the grade Of milk
goes down to meet the price. A
farmer cannot buy the right cattle,
feed them right, milk them right and
handle his milk right, nor can the
dairyman, unless he is paid a right
price.
1T takes a great deal Of money to
go into the milk business right; it
takes very little money to 60 into it
on a cheap scale and furnish insani-
tary milk. 1t is necessary for the
public to understand this and give
their patronage to the dairy1nen who
are selling pure milk. | pay the far
mers that supply me fair price, and
| must have fair price from the
public in order to deliver frst-class
milk in proper condition"

s'There's a man with a hard-luck
story beside which our troubles look
like 80 cents" said one human derelict
to another as they stood in front of
a New York cheap lodging house. The
man to whom he referred had just
emerged from the building. He
slouched along in a respondent way,
with downcast eyes, stopped should
ders and that look of resigned hope
lessness peculiar to those who have
long been wellnigh penniless and
never expect to be anything else. AS
he disappeared into a neighboring sa-

to his companion resumed his story.
II knew that fellow well when we
were both prospecting for gold in
Southwestern Arizona. He, like most
of us, had been at it long time with
out having any luck, and was down to
hard pan, when one day he suddenly
turned up with bunch of nuggets
rich enough in gold to make your eyes
pop out of your head. He started in

did until his stake was gone. Mean

Wu Ting Fang Tells
.WhV Americans Succeed.

Americans are known, in whatever
quarter of the world chance happens
to throw them, by their marvellous
self-reliance and independence. A
typical American is never at a loss
what to do with himself. If, by some
enchantment, he were whisked away
over night and set down in the middle
of Timbuctoo he would doubtless
when he should awake the next morn
ing be astonished, but before luncheon
he should be busily engaged in some
business enterprise, so readily does he
adapt himself to circumstances. In
every instance he knows how to take
care of himself, but perhaps the real
secret of his success is that he knows
how to make the most of his oppor tun-
tiles.
The intelligence of the average
American is worthy of note. This,
take it, is due in large measure not
only to the excellent schools but also
to the innumerable newspapers and
otxs.ar publications. l have found in
all parts of the country that in every
town of any size there is published a
daily paper, and that the metropolitan
publications circulate in the homes of
the most remote corners of the land.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1902-10-04

The ability to seize his opportuni-
ties, which is characteristic of the
American, is seen in the business en-
terprises of the country. Its indus
trial machinery is adjusted to the
production of wealth on scale of I'M
precedented magnitude. This is a
valuable condition. American brains
and American capital are reaching out
to control the markets of the world,
and, with good reason, other nations
are watching the efforts with keen
interest. China is but awakening to
it's vast possibilities, and more and
more will she welcome the American
merchant and American commerce
within her borders. American enter
prise is now building a railway from
Hankow to Canton, and no doubt other
roads will soon be building. China's
rivers and harbors are to be improved
and there will be more and more de-
mand for American steel, rails and
other products.-Wu Ting Fang in

Location OF Gold
Remains a Mystery.

The death of Mrs. Futch, an aged
lady of MouItrie, a small settlement
on the Mantazas river seven miles
south of St Augustine, Fla, recalls
a story of buried gold, which now lies
undiscovered probably upon the old
farm on which she spent many years,
and in quest of which she devoted
many years of her life.
Her husband, the late Joshua Futch.
was man of secretive habits, who
did not divulge his business to his
own family. He was a thrifty cattle
man and like many woodsmen had a
horror of modern methods of banking.
A number of years ago Mr.. Futch
sold to Mr.. William j. Sanchez
bunch of cattle for which he received
$1,000 in gold. Mr.. Sanchez and his
father, Mr.. Vanancio Sanchez, en-
joyed the confidence of nearly all
the people of ST. Johns county with
whom they had extensive dealings
In a burst of confidence Mr. Futch
told Mr.. Sanchez that the gold re-
ceived from him he had buried and
that no living person knew of it's
existence, or its hiding place.
He also said that whenever he re-
ceived money which he did not have
immediate use for he converted it in
gold and made another deposit in
