Why Not Butter and Eggs ?

It is a fact that thousands Of dollars
are sent North every year for butter.
The supply of homemade butter is
far short of the demand, and While
more is being produced in Georgia than
formerly, the demand is increasing
the more rapidly of the two, and the
deficiency is greater every year.
In a conversation the proprietor OF
one of Atlanta's largest grocery stores,
said recently:
why don't you people make butter:
Here we are sending to Illinois for the
bulk of our butter, and paying 81
cents a pound for it. Of course, that
is for the very choicest, but good but
ter is costing us "a to % cents per
pound. Now, why don't you folks
make it9''
"Well we ought to. That was all
could say" he added in speaking
of the incident. stNow, why don't We!
Simply because we don't try. AS a

portunities to make some very large
profits, not only in butter, but in eggs
and poultry. There is probably nc
article in the world SO easily produced
and SO easily sold at a good profit. as
eggs; yet we find farmers spending
time and money on other things and
neglecting this important source Of
income. Eggs are steadily advancing
in price. They were Is to 20 cents
dozen, wholesale, all last summer,
an unprecedented price at that season
of the year. And during the winter,
of course, they have remained steadily
at fancy figures. -,
Of course, in order to succeed with
these products it is necessary to use
care and common sense. But accurate
scientific knowledge. which Ger
tainly increases the margin of profit,
is not necessary. Any farmer of aver
age ability can realize handsome re-
turns on these commodities at present
prices. It costs no more to produce
them than it ever did. While we are
talking aof "home industries, how
about butter and eggs?-Edltorial II

On March "a it was just twenty-one
wears since Prof. Koch published his
discovery of the tubercle bacillus. The
organism had been found toward the
end of 1881, after years of search, but
Koch waited and verified his work be-
fore announcing his find. The result
in Germany has been interesting. In
1886 the tuberculosis death rate much
undestated was 81 per 10000 living
per annum. Last year it was 81. The
discovery has saved Germany thou

BoDYGuARD FOR PRESIDENT.

SHOULD the president have a body
guarig' Is a question that is propound-
ed and interestingly answered BY the
san Francisco Bulletin. OF the ten
men who have occupied the White
House since the close Of the civil war
three have been assassinated. And Of
these ten it must be remembered that
only seven were elected. Three-John-
son, Arthur and Roosevelt-became
Presidents by succession after the mur-
der of their respective predecessors.
Americans. naturally. would dislike
to see their president surrounded con-
stantly by guard Of soldiers and de-
tectives, but, at the same time. they
would not deny him that protection
which the perils to which he is exposed
require. the Bulletin points out. 1t
would be a pity to do away with the old
democratic informality which charac-
ferizes the goings and comings of the
tenant Of the White House. The pic
ture of the president walking alone in
Pennsylvania avenue or travelling with
only his secretary for an escort is in
veterated in the traditions of our coun-
try.
But it really seems that the time has
come when this simplicity is no longer
safe. OF late large number of''cranks"
have ben arrested while attempting to
enter the presence Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Many of them were armed. From one
of these, Peter Elliott. the secret SER
vice agents took revolver,a long knife
and scissors. He has been pronounced
insane. Two days later another crank
this one armed with two knives. was
arrested while attempting to speak with |
the president. A day later a man nam
ed William Doherty was arrested, he
having excited the suspicious Of the
secret service agents by his actions in
the vicinity of the White House.
In view of all these facts, the prejud- I
ice against allowing the president a /
bodyguard is out of date. For some
time it has been found necessary to sur
round him with treasury agents who
are, in fact, body guard. These
treasury agents have other work to do.
In the eyes of an anarchist, the pres
ldent is Just as much tyrant as the
czar of all the Russias. Radical an
archists are opposed to every sort Of
government, and are as willing to mur-
der an elected ruler as they are to mur-
der a hereditary ruler. In Europe the
arrest of murderous "cranks'' are not
made public, for they suggest murder
Gus ideas to, other "cranks." Secre-
tary Loeb now announces that he in
tends, so far as he can, to suppress all
mention in the press of these crank"
visitations to the White House.
