TO KILL The CREAM


ERIES. Il.
IAN attempt is being made by
some storage companies to run out
the screameries ofsthe state, and it
looks very much as though the
scheme is carefully planned and
that it will be far reaching in its
effects unless the farmers take q
tumble" and a refuse to be bitten.
The cold storage concerns offer
within two cents of New York
quotations tor Western extras for
butter fat delivered at any railway
station in the shape Of cream. They
will pay the express charges and
make you rich in about two weeks
or less. The whole scheme
seems to be aimed at the goose that
Laid the golden egg-the creamery.
If these fellows can get a number Of
farmers to ship their cream to the
cold storage they will succeed in
closing up the creameries, and then,
where are youa The dairyman will
be at the mercy Of the cold storage
trust which will dictate the price Of
both cream and butter and the
farmers will go back to the hand
churn and slavery, The man that
ships his cream to the cold storage
instead If selling it to his own
creamery drives a nail into his own
coffin every time the goes to the
depot. Stick to the creamery; it liz
your duty and salvation ''Ellsworth

LAKE OVERLOOKING.

Lake Oklahoma is once more full
to the brim and over flowing. Citi-
zens place tie time from eleven to
seventeen years since they saw as
much water in West Oklahoma as
there is now.
This quantity is due to the excess
i've rains, and the artificial source of
supply, ''Whiskey Ditch. "This ditch
draining territory of at asttwen
ty miles naturally affords IN inlet
for an immense volume of water.
The lake also has other inlets Of
different sizes, these altogether
provide means turning an inestima-
bic quantity of water in this lake.
Monday the water being so high
some of the citizens opened the
outlet from west to east lake, but
members of the council desiring to
retain all the water possible in the
West lake damned it up. In the mean
time a, small stream started running
where the Burlington had cut the
bank down to accommodate their
track. This stream ran down their
| track COWarus eaeU- lssho anu ulIuo1
the Omaha road bridge. Monday
the council attempted to open
whiskey ditch at a point where it
had been damned when the ditch
was dug, but the flow Of water had
cut channel so that the water
would not run where intended unless
a dam was put in the ditch to turn
the water. The dam could not: be
put in and it was not deemed advis-
able after consideration as it would
flood the Mclean portion Of town
which already had plenty of water.
Monday night heavy rain fell
again and by Tuesday morning the
lake had raised about seventeen
inches higher, this sent a volume of
water down the Rock Island tracks
where the bank was low. Here
the water ran about three feet deep
and fifteen to twenty feet wide, and
into the east lake. Besides this it
ran out Of the west end of the lake
to Ocheda. During the afternoon it
began to run out at Roman g corner,
across the road leading around the
north side of the lake. At the hour
Of writing the water is raising in
the lake. Wire screen has been
placed to prevent the fish from going
out. ,Eg5@gAs
We are informed by Supt Porter,
that the government guage at the
school building showed that Sunday
and during the night two and two
tenths inches of water fell. Monday
and during the night one and
seventy six hundredths inches.
Since the first of the month, twelve
and thirty three hundredths inches
of rain had fell. By his it will be
seen that the quantity is large. !

it was drafted. The bill was prepared

It is announced that rural mail
carriers are strictly prohibited from
carrying verbal messages. If a farmer
should tell one of them to tell neigh
Dor Jones to come down this way as
he wanted to see him, the carrier
could not lawfully deliver the message.
The proper method would be for the
farmer to write letter and have the
carrier deliver it. The reason is that
the government wants all the revenue
possible from the postal service, and
desires those who are benefited by it
to pay for the same.

To the farmer who does not do so,
one of the best of new year resolu-
tions to make is to keep accounts dur
ing the next year. A farmer should
keep an accurate account of all busi-
ness transactions. 1t will save much
trouble in settling store bills-perhaps
a lawsuit. Keep an account of each
field and crop, and find which pays
and which is a loss in cultivating.
One of the ways to success is to keep
farm accounts.

run? Yes the COW can run. Can the
COW run as fast as the horse?" But
tho latest up-to-date style of reading
