COULDN'T SELL OLEO.

Dairy Commissioner Bailey, of Ore
gon, was called on one day last week
by a representative of Swift & Co.
The trust has some accomplished jol-
Tiers employed on the road, and this
was one of the best. He handed it to
Bailey in large chunks. After spinning
a few yarns, reviewing the political
situation, inquiring solicitously after
the state of Bailey's health he
gon to sell oleomargarine.
"Sell all you can," said Bailey, free
and easy-like. "Only mind you keep
within the state law. Here's copy.
Take it along"
The genial representative avowed
of violating the law. He just called
around to confer with the commission
er as matter of courtesy. Was so
glad he had no objections to his doing
a little oleo biz "Wet day, isn't it?
Have a cigar"
Next day the genial representative
of the trust came back.
Sell any OleO! inquired Bailey.

whats the trouble?"
Trouble? Why there won't groc-
er in the town buy it. Say you make
em brand it in big letters and put up
signs so everybody will know what it
is. They say nobody will buy it and
they don't want to have it around, as
they're afraid it would hurt their
trade
TOO bad" sympathized Bailey.
What you going to do about it ;"
do? I'm going to get out of the
state with it's internal law and go
somewhere where 1 can do little
honest oleo biz"
And the price of Oregon butter
continues at 32hc," concluded Bailey.

THE DILUTION (SO-CALLED) SEP
ARATORS

These dilutiOn SeparatOrS have been
most carefully experimental with in
this country, with the universal result
that the claims of their promoters and
agents have not. only not been sub
stantiated, but ON the contrary this
method of obtaining cream has been
proven to be the most unsatisfactory
of all methods. Notwithstanding this
accumulation of evidence, the manu-
facturers of these tin cans have done
a very thriving business in this coun-
try, and according to current reports
they, or others like them, are endeav-
oring to work up a trade in Germany
where it is reported that a Dr. Klein
gave one of these hydraulic or dilution
separators twenty-five trials with the
result that the skim milk tested from
so to 125 per cent Of fat. Compare
these results with those of the ordi-
nary farm or hand separator, which
seldom leaves more than Id per cent
of fat, and often less. The loss of a
half pound or more of, fat from ev-
cry hundred pounds Of milk amounts
to no small item in the course of a
year, even with a single COW. 1t is
safe to say that this loss could not Well
be less than $500 year, and might
easily reach $1,000, and in some cases
even more than that.

THE DUAL PURPOSE COW.
H. e. AlvOrd.

Though many attempts have been
made to develop a breed of cattle
profitable for both beef and milk, sue
cess in that direction has not yet been
reached, and it seems more than prob
able that such a breed will never be
secured. 1t is the natural tendency of
every COW to use her surplus food
of fat or in the production of milk.
Either of these tendencies may be
greatly strengthened by intelligent
breeding and selection, but no breed
has ever been developed which excels
in both beef and buttermaking quail
ties, and Improvement in either direc-
ton has usually been accompanied by
a corresponding loss in the other. 1t is
true that there are some breeds which
make animals of fair size and which
are only fair as either. The best beef
animals and the best milking animals
have never been found in the same in
dividuals or even in the same breed,
and the cattle raiser who attempts to
raise beef for living and at the same
time to make money by using his cows
in a dairy is almost sure to find one
branch of his business Improbable. A
profitable beef animal is one thing,
while profitable dairy COW is some
thing quite different. The man who
expects to make his living from a dairy
should select the breed which will give
him the greatest amount of butter and
milk from the smallest number of
animals at the least cost.

urday and liable to make calves sick,
as would be the case if one undertook
to hold the while milk over Sunday,
as some church people do rather than
deliver milk that day.
The cream can easily be held over
two days if the cans are set in ice wa
ter or even good cold we'll water In
fact. in many of the creameries that
are run on this plan the cream is
gathered only once in two days.
Now, my friends, l am not preach

ian country, where most people re-
frain from labor on Sunday except
such labor as is deemed actually nee
essary Do we not all believe that
this is a good practice-goOd for man
and good for beast? Perhaps you will
say one day is just as good as an
other; Sunday no better than other
days. But suppose you do believe
that way, ought not a decent respect
for the opinions of others keep you
from doing work publicly, like hauling
milk to and from the creameries on
Sunday, if it could be avoided without
pecuniary loss?
l have tried to put this very mildly.

THE FARM SEPARATOR SAVES
SUNDAY.
SUNDAY.

We older folks remember that
when the first creameries and cheese
factories in the country were started.
the necessity for running them on
Sunday was deplored by nearly every
one. Some of the church people de-
nounced it in strong terms. Preachers
took hand in it in earnest entreat-
ing their hearers to try and contrive
some way to avoid so publicly and
shamefully desecrating the Sabbath,
compelling the buttermakers to work
Sunday instead of going to church.
And often the milk haulers were
obliged to drive by the churches while
others were gathering for services. l
remember hearing a preacher de-
nounce this thing in the strongest of
language, saying that people could not
prosper who so desecrated the Sab
bath, and if dairying could not be car
ried on without it. it would be better
to give it up entirely.
There are still many creamery pat
rons who cannot cOnscientiously haul
milk to the creamery on Sunday. One
creamery in the neighbOrhoOd of my
farm never runs on Sunday, because
a great majority of the patrons will
not deliver milk on that day 1t is a
great inconvenience to them, espec-
tally in the summer when they are
feeding young calves. They frequent
Jxr on1x IN, n
winter they can manage better to
keep the skim milk in better condition
to feed.
The hired man refuses to haul milk
to creamery on Sunday morning, the
grown up boys object to it-they had
rather go to church-and the "old
man" as he drives eight or ten miles
that morning ponders on the situa-
ton, and says to himself. 81 don't won
der that the boys dislike to be driv-
ing home from the creamery with
their working clothes on and load OF
cans filled with skim milk and meet
ing other people going to church in
their nice. new carriages and dressed
in their best Sunday clothes"
| know that great many have this
feeling and would be glad to do bet
ter way if they could. | believe that
the use of the farm separator will do
away with the necessity of this Sun
day work out in the public streets
and at the creamery.
The milk can be separated at home
at the time of milking-the regular
chore time-and the calves and pigs
have their new, sweet milk on Sunday
as well as other days, instead of hav-
ing milk old and held over from Sat-

Those who know the Hon. Silas Z.
Hurin best are most desirons that he
should be elected circuit Judge. They
appreciate Mr.. Hurin's admiral equip
ment for the position, and they also
know that, personally, he deserves the
earnest and united support of all.
Mr.. Hurin Is in the prime Of life,
forty-three years OF age. He was born
in Ohio, received his early education
in the public schools OF Cincinnati and
vicinity; was graduated rs an honor
man at Princeton university, and later.
received a diploma from the Cincinnati
law school. After finishing his course
at Princeton, he taught one year at
Morris Academy. Morristown, New Jer-
sey. He practiced law two years in
Cincinnati before coming to Findlay in
the spring OF 1887. For fifteen years
he has been actively engaged in the
practice Of his profession In our city,
aud is known TO be q careful, conscien-
tions, studious, Industrious, able, and

clients, courteous To his opponents, and
helpful to the court before whom he
appears. s- ~: -; e -.
His attainments and natural endow-
ments especially fit him for the circuit
judgeship. Whatever he undertakes
receives careful, thorough and intelli-
gent confederation.
II elevated TO the circuit bench, he
would bring TO that bench we'll
trained, thoroughly stored, judicial
mind, and would discharge his duties
honestly, fearlessly and impartially.
His election, too. would be a well-de-
served compliment to q gentleman of
unquestioned moral character, who has
devoted much active effort to church
and benevolent work, and whose daily
life will stand the most rigid scrutiny.
It is proper too, that the minority
should have q representative upon the
circuit bench. The most careful and
conscientious man may be biased. None
of us can always tell, exactly what
our own motives are, and it would seem
proper, in the interests Of justice and
right, that both shades OF political sem
timent should be represented upon this
most important judicial tribunal.
Mr.. Hurin ought to be elected.
