THOSE republican newspapers,
which, like the COURIER, have kept
still up to the present time on the re-
moval OF Supt. Simpson of the Deaf
Mute school, have had their silence
attributed to machine influence to
be sure, but are now feeling all right
over it. 1t now transpires that Prof
Simpson was running the school at an
expense per pupil rs per cent greater
than the Iowa cost, was running the
farm connected with the school at an
actual loss and was doing little but
experimenting and drawing his
salary. The alleged ''politics" in the
affair seems to be on the other side.
Those newspapers that have been mis-
led into re-echoing the racket of the
Sioux Falls Press and the Sioux City
Tribune over the matter are now troub-
led with that funny feeling. The
school instead OF being wrecked, now
seems to be better equipped and TO
have better outlook for efficiency
and economy than ever before.

ABOUT STARTERS.
The Best Methods OF Preparing ama
Handling Them.

&M@ hGht MethOdA OF Preparing MM&
Handling Them.
get . great many letters from but
ter makers asking me questions re-
garding starters and the best methods
Of handling them, says Creamery Jour-
nal. These are ala welcome, and I ai-
ways take pleasure in answering them.
There are a great many butter makers
who do not avail themselves 0f this
opportunity, and, hoping that this will
fall into the hands of some one anxious
TO learn and improve the quality dc
butter, | will again give In full the
preparation Of starter and how to use
1t.
To begin with, would advise all
who are not familiar with the starter
to use a commercial starter. After
you have your commercial culture or
a half ounce bottle on hand, select
three quarts OF the best milk, pasteur~
ize 1t up to 1S0 degrees by setting the
pail which contains the milk into hot
water, and hold 1t at that temperature
for twenty minutes.
Then transfer 1t into vessel that
contains cold water and cool il. when
at DO degrees pour the culture Iii the
half ounce bottle into the milk and stir
1t well. Then cool 1t to rs degrees.
cover up and hold at the above tenn
perature until the next morning, when
1t will commence to coagulate. Skim
Off the top and throw II away. just
as soon as the starter gets thick set
1t in Ice water and keep 1t there until
you have pastenrized the milk you
wish to use 1t Iii, which Is done as fol-
lows: Select the amount OF milk that
y0u want to use for starter. For ex-
ample, we will take thirty gallons OF
the best mornings milk. Run ii aep-
arately through one Of the separators
and catch the skim milk In the starter
can. Pasteurize It by heating to $50
degrees and hold It at that temperature
for twenty minutes. Then cool. and
when down to 80 degrees pour into this
amount OF pasteurized milk a pint and
a half OF the prepared cuiture starter.
and then cool 1t at this time OF the
year to GA degrees, put cover on and
let It stand until morning. The next
morning after II has coagulated put It
into your cream vat just before com
mencing to skim. save out pint and
half again. Select about ten gallons
of clean mornings milk and pour 1t
into the cream vat with the starter,
for the starter ID live On and thereby
not become overripe Stir II we'll Skim
a fairly heavy cream into this starter
and occasionally stir II, Stirring the
cream must not be neglected. Stir Ii

would advise using about d III per
cent starter at this time of. the year.
Always be careful not to let the
starter get overripe A starter IL at
its best at about 40 degrees Of acidlty.
BY all means use a starter and make
as good butter as the other fellow
Use the acid test often.

THE PROBLEM OF THE STATE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION.

The state board OF equalization now
in session at Pierre took recess over
Sunday until Tuesday, but before ad-
iourning decided to raise the assess
ment on property returned by the
assessors four per cent and on corporate
property nine per cent. This will give
the state an approximate valuation of
1925, ,O00, 900. While the law requires
assessors to return full value, this
amount falls very short of 1t and very
short of an assessed valuation sufficient
to raise the amount of revenue re-
quired for this year.. A special law was
passed last winter authorizing the
board to double the regular two mill
levy to meet this deficiency and this
will undoubtedly be done. Even then
the years revenue will amount to but
little over 81 100000, while to meet
the appropriations of the last legisla-
ture, the running expenses of the state
and emergency warrants that will be-
come due, will require about 81, ,275, 900.
Something like quarter of a million
dollars will have to be borrowed to
help the state through the year.
Say as much as you like about ex-
travagant appropriations by the last
legislature, the board of equalization
has nothing whatever to do with it.
Their problem is to raise sufficient
revenue to meet large appropriations
and expenses on a small assessment.
SO long as assessors will return a low
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1903-08-13

valuation, there is no escape from the
necessity of the state board OF equali-
cation exercising the power conferred
upon 1t by the law OF the last legisla.
ture referred to above. Even then the
state must be borrower the present
year. This situation makes IL impera-
lively necessary for the next legislation
to devise and enact q better revenue
law.
Some local illustrations will show
the advantage and even the necessity
of state board of equalization. Law
renee county returns real estate at an
average of S29. .33 per acre and no other
county any whore near approaches it.
Lincoln averages s12 33, Clay sl2 25
and Union s12 03 and these four are all
the counties in the state that return
real estate at an average above 1872. 90
per acre. Beadle county returns real
estate at So SO and Miner county at
S4. 20, less than one fourth the actual
selling price. So long as there are
these discrepancies there must be a.
state board to equalize matters. and so
long as some counties assess soridic-
uously low there Is going to be no
general and earnest attempt made to
comply with the law requiring assess
ment at full value. The inevitable re-
suit will be to increase the powers and
duties OF the state board OF equaliza.
