The Value of Appearances.

The appearance of our cheese
factories and creameries mas much
to do with insuring an improvement
in the products. The surroundings
of these places do much to set the
pace. A nicely built, clean creamery
is an inspiration to all connected
with it. The workers take better
care of themselves, and the patrons
are more careful to bring only good
products. This is the tendency-ef-
fective to greater or less degree.
What can we expect of the patrons,
when the creamery itself is a
tumbled-down affair, with drains
filed with sinking combination of
putrid milk and dirty water? The
task of securing from the patrons
clean milk is nearly a hopeless one,
unless the establishment that re-
ceives it is measurably clean

SOME IMMENSE FARMS.
One in Texas, Owned by Illinois Syns
dicate, Is as Large as the State
of Connecticut.

While the United States census re-
ports 100000 farms averaging 146
acres each in the southwest states
and territories, the average size is
500 acres each. Col. c. c. Slaughter,
of Dallas, Tex, has 1,250,000 acres of
farm and ranch land. In the Pam
handle district of Texas the Capi-
tol syndicate, of which Senator C. B.
Farwell, of Illinois, is the head, has
ranch of 100000 acr.sy or more
than as large as the state of Con.
necticut. They raise from 10000 to
10000 acres of corn and other forage
crops and ship from $4,000 to 10000
beef steers each year; $50 cowboys
and so farmhands are employed. In
Oklahoma is one ranch of $4,000
acres. They raised this year 5000
acres of wheat, 5000 acres of forage,
millet and Kaffir corn; 5000 to 10,-
600 cattle are shipped each year. Al
though the expenses of running the
ranch are $95,000 year, the profits
the last year were $150,000. The
Forsha farm in central Kansas has
5000 acres. On it are Touring mill,
complete weather bureau, post of.
flee for owner and employees, gas
plant and long-distance telephone.
The wheat grown is made into -four
on the farm. There is the largest
field of alfalfa in the United States,
1,500 acres in one tract. This cuts
three crops year, about one ton
at each cutting. Frank Rockefeller
has $4,000 acres of grazing and farm.

about 5000 acres are under cultiya-

othy pastures. There are some of
the finest bred Hereford and Short
horn cattle in the world on this
farm, valued at $350,0o0, including
one $4,000 bull. The grain for these
cattle is grown and ground on the
farm. He intends to convert 10000
acres of pasture land into alfalfa.
The cattle and horse barns are OF
iron and stone. John w. Stewart,
of Wellington, Kan, has 140 farms,
all separate and in different parts
of the state. It is not uncommon
for farmer in these sections to buy
Is harvesters, dozen plows and as
many corn harvesters at one time.
Fifty men make a good harvesting

Orders From the Brooklyn Factory to Take

mand for Secondhand Square Pianos. The Brad
bury Co. will take old Square Pianos Of any make
and make a very liberal allowance for them, giving
a due bill equivalent to cash in exchange, which
may be used at any time as so much cash In the
purchase of new Upright Piano. This is golden
opportunity to get rid Of the old Piano to good ad
vanage-and those who fail to grasp it will regret
It later on, Secondhand Square Pianos are
steadily decreasing in value every year. Simply
notify the Bradbury Co. that you have Square to
dispose of and their representative will call and
make you offer for 1t. You will be under no ex-
pense whatever-the old Piano will be moved to the
Bradbury Warerooms free of charge-or il shipped
in from out Of town will be hauled from the
freight depot without expense to the owner.
If you have no Square Piano to sell and would
like to secure an Upright very cheap, see the Up
right Piano offered at the Bradbury Warerooms
for $160-on SO monthly payments Also the Up
rights at $175 and $780, You will save at least
800 on any Of these instruments you buy. Re-
member they are sold with the positive guarantee
that they may be exchanged at any time within
five years for new Bradbury Upright and full

President and Color Line.

From the London Spectator.
President Roosevelt has caused a great
deal of Ill feeling in the southern states
first by appointing negro postmistress
and then by naming an educated negro,
DR.. Crum, as collector of customs at
Charleston. The President makes no claim
to equalize the black with the white. and
is probably very far from thinking that
racial differences are or can be obliterated,
but he refuses. as It were, to slam the door
irrevocably In the face of the negro citi-
zens. however well educated and respect
able, and to give them nos place whatever
in the national life. In our view the Presi-
dents action Is entirely juStifiable.- We do
not think 1t possible to REGARD the two
