with any of these, receive no benefit

of farm products, and are enabled,
through their organizations, to regu-

by refraining from organization
farmers permit others to fix the

themselves at disadvantage in sell

least important benefit to be derived
from organization is the educational
advantages to be derived therefrom.
A. farmer may learn much from his
own experience, but of any two indi-
viduals the knowledge possessed by
both is greater than that possessed
by either. Therefore, if two farmers
meet and commune with each other
on farm topics, either both are bene-
flied or both are fools When a num-
Der of farmers meet to discuss sub
jects in which all are interested, each
can learn on any subject all that is
known by all who discuss the sub
ject- Then, if those who meet and
discuss are, as usual, the most sue
cessful, each in his particular line,
how much greater the possible bene-
fit! Farmers who voluntarily deny
themselves all the benefits to be de.
rived from organized effort, are the

The chief difficulty farmers have to
contend with in butter making is
temperature. Ice can not be had; it
is inconvenient almost to impractical
bility to use the well, as some have
recently advised. Here is the process
adopted by the writer when living on
a farm. The dairy building was a
latticed frame-covered with mustang
grape vines, and fairly exposed to
winds and thoroughly protected from
the rays of the sun. The top of an
old circular dining table was placed
in the center of the structure upon
three stakes driven into the ground.
Three wooden pegs IA inches high
formed an equilaterial triangle in the
center of the table. On these three
pegs a tim tub holding about eight
gallons was placed and nearly filed
with water. The milk vessels were
cans IL inches high and holding about
two and one-half gallons each. For
each can bag was made of coarse
cotton cloth, which loosely fitted the
cans, and the cans inserted in the
bags and placed in circle on the
table, and the loose ends of the bags
twisted and tossed over the edge of
the tub and into the water. The
bags, before putting the cans of milk
into them, were dipped into water.
and wrung. These bags would take
up the water from the tub and re-
main wet through the hottest day in
August, and the evaporation would
keep the milk perfectly sweet for
more than twenty-four hours in the
hottest weather, and the butter made
was firm enough to print. and could
be kept in that condition by the same
treatment This apparatus is ex-
ceedingly simple, and the materials
to make it of are at hand on every
farm 1t is strictly scientific refrig-
eration.-Farm and Ranch.

work at their full capacity to help the
mills of this country to supply the de-
mand for steel products. Other iron
