The following item was contributed
by buttermaker not many miles
from here: "How often we.encounter
the veXatious individual who as
serts that a buttermaker in the
modern separate creamery has asnap
and even goes so far as to maintain
that. but .ermaker needs some out
side work Just for exercise you
know. While it is true that butter
maker in charge of a small plant has
a good deal of spare time it is not
fair to presume that he doesn't do
much. If the busy mortal who is
forever calling attention to the but
termaker's snap could be tied to
said buttermakers' coat tails and
be led through his footsteps for a
week, l am of the opinion that he
would change his views decidedly.
He is most certain to become in
formed Of all the spare time the
buttermaker has, but he DOESN'T
hear Of the many nights and Sundays
that are consumed in fixing some old
worn-out machine so that everything
may be in proper running order for
the next day. The creamery butter
maker in charge of a plant alone is
expected to do about three days work
in half a day, for he must endeavor
to be. in about six places at the
same time. He must weigh in the
milk, fire the boiler, watch his sep
ratOrs and the temperature of the
milk, keep general supervision over
all the machinery, and pack the but
ter jars for the patrons. Through all
this he is expected to look pleasant,
greet everybody with a cordial "good
morning" whether he feels like it
or not, and wait for his reward until
by a wave Of st. Peters hand he is
directed to seat in the gilded cor
ner set apart for good hard working
buttermakerS.
The spring poets are now having
their turn, and the following average
up pretty we'll: ''The winter now is
past and gone and gentle spring is
here, the whiskey seasons over and
the oums are drinking beer. The
meadow larks will soon be heard in
soft and mellow notes and the farmer
will hump himself in the sowing Of
the oats. The robin and the blue
bird will build their little nests and
the dudes will scare the horses with
their Dolly Warden vests. The house
wife now with mop and broom will
clean the house full we'll and the man
she swore to cherish will wish he
was in---well he woud like to go
| fishing for few days.

They decorate
With tempting bait
The hooks with which they're fishings
Then here and there
With greatest care
The lines are soon sent swishing.
They swish and swish,
But nary fish

They try and try, r
And then they sigh u

And other hooks
Their toilsome wa. they're vending.
But not trout
Can they yank out,
Though oft the lines they're sending.
They fish away
Till end of day,

They try to grin
While yarns they spin,
But not one trout they're showing.
