Butter Production This Year.

Butter production this season is
running along about the same as last
year, certainly not ahead. The West
Is making a little more butter, due
to the good conditions Of the pan.
lures, but the Eastern states arc
making a little less. The surplus in
the West does not more than Offset
the deficiency in the East. AS butter
moves readily from one great center
to another there is no reason why
prices this year should drop below
those Of last year. The conditions
during the present month will tell
greatly on the production Of butter.
II the month remains normal as to
rainfall the production will be as
great as last year. Up to the present
time the season has been a normal
one. In some parts Of Illinois and
Wisconsin 1t has been several degrees
cooler than ordinarily, and this has
been In favor Of the increased pro-
ductlon of milk and consequently Of
butter. Prices show tendency to be
steady, and are now likely to remain
90, gradually rising during the next
six weeks.

Eornettlnn the Salt.

\ 1t Is a very easy matter to forgeI
to salt the cows, as every person that
has had the care of dairy cows knows
Many farmer realizes the need o'
the animals for salt and intends to
give them salt at regular intervals
Frequently he does not awake to tho
fact that the COWS are not getting
enough salt till he notices fiat fresh
taste in the milk, and he at once con-
meets this with the absence of salt.
This fairness is supposed to be the
only detriment to the non-salting OF
the cows. But tests made at different
times show that the volume of the
milk is decreased by this Withholding
of the mineral that every animal
Graves. At the Mississippi Expert
ment station the experiment was
tried of keeping cows without salt
for number Of weeks. Three cows
were deprived of salt for four weeks
The first two weeks the milk was
not weighed, as it was likely that the
cows would not at first notice the loss
Of the salt by decreasing their milk.
During the two last weeks Of the
period, however, the milk was
weighed and was found TO be Asa
pounds for the period. The salt was
given to them again and the mill
weighed for the ensuing two weeks,
when it was found to amount to 564
pounds. This was a gain of ITO
pounds Of milk due to the sailing.
Doubtless the best way to giveVthe
salt is to place large Jumps of rocB
salt where the animals can lick them
at leisure. There will then be no dan
der of the animals eating too much
at any one time or of poultry getting
at it and eating enough to kill them.
The love Of all animals for salt is
shown by the habit they have of fire.
quenting places where salt is to be
found. In the early history of the
country, when hunting was a bust
ness as much as any other, the hunt
ers used to lie in wait in the places
where salt streams flowed from the
mountains and left crystal deposits
on the rocks, for the hunters knew
that such places we're frequented by
animals from far and near for the
purpose of licking the salty rocks
The processes of digestion require
salts to assist them. They can be
carried on without salt, but always

which has visited upon our country
greater destruction of life and property
than any other year within our recol-
lection, excepting years ofwar Begin
ing last spring with drouth and forest
fires in the northeast, causing the death
of hundreds, and the destruction OF
thousands of homes, while in the
southeast and middle west, at the same
time, immense floods were sweeping to
destruction an awful freight of human
life and property, thence until the close
of the year, there was scarce day
passed but brought, in the daily press,
accounts of mine explosions, railroad
accidents, tornadoes, and ship wrecks
and other disasters.
But in other respects our people, as a
whole, have been fortunate. Business
has been good; labor has been en-
ployed at fair wages; there has been
no more than the usual amount of sick
ness; and crops, generally, have been
good and have comma 1ded fair prices.
So that those who have been fortunate
enough to escape the mishaps that fell
upon certain districts, or places, have
had abundant reason to be thankful, for
blessings received as well as for escape
from the many frightful disasters that
has marked the year.

feels that there is still room for another

the professors and instructors as well
as with other good farmers from all
over the state will certainly bring large
returns.

Thearer PanfcS.

1t is about time that the wise heads
who tell US that very few people would
be killed in burning theater if all the
audience got up and departed orderly
and cody, were put up on the intellec-
tual shelf where they belong
the nin-com- poops. The human race
must be reckoned with as it is, not as
it would be if every woman and child
who attends a matinee had passed
through so many dangers, that each
could feel and act like veteran enter
ing battle.
And, besides, it was No t the panic
alone which caused all that awful de-
struction Of life in the Iroquois theater
The panic was in the lower part of the
house as well as in the balconies Yet
almost all on the first floor escaped
without injury, because there was
abundant means of exit, while nearly
all in the balconies lost their lives be-
cause the means of exit were grossly
inadequate.
So far as theater goers are concerned,
it is simply a contest between human
life and the almighty dollar. With
sufficient means of exit from galleries
and balconies there is little danger,
panic or no panic. And little exper-
fence would soon teach the average
person that there is no danger to speak
of, and so would prevent the panicy
feeling. But to provide such means of
escape would be expensive to the pro-
prietors, and there is the rub Every
theater should be condemned that is
not provided with sufficient means of
safe exit for panic stricken audience.
Where, as in most of the large theaters,
the means of exit from the parquette
and dress circle are sufficient, that por-
ton of the house should be kept open,
and the galleries and balconies closed
until such time as the proprietors shall
provide abundant means of exit there
from for panic stricken crowd.
1t is not the orderly, and cool pro-
cession that needs protection in such
cases. That sort of crowd does not
exist, and if it did it could easily take
care of itself. 1t is the panic stricken
audience that appeals to public opinion
in this case, for that is the only thing to
be looked for in the course of nature.
Dame fashion must also shoulder
part of the blame for compelling ladies
to wear long skirts that will trail be-
hind, especially when descending stair
way, and will inevitably get stepped
upon, and throw the wearer down in a
mad rush for the outside, unless there
is great plenty of room to get out.
The assumed wisdom of those who
invariably, after theater horror, advise
audiences to be orderly in such emer
gencies, is much like that of the anar.
chist, who advises the present aboli-
ton of all law, seeing that it is wrong to
commit crime, and all that people need
is to be good, in which case no laws will
be needed.
We must deal, as best we can, with
conditions as they exist, and let the
millennium take care of itself when it
comes.
During the millennium, when theater
takes fire, the orchestra will play a
spirited march while the audience falls
into line and marches cody out in per-
feet time,-'hepl hepl hepr' like a
crack regiment of soldiers.
