Creamery Management.

At the meeting of the Ohio dairymen's
association Prof. G. l.. Mckay gave an
address of which the following is an ex-
tract:
1.-The first consideration in creamery
management is to take into consider
alton the interests of the patrons. Keep
good buttermaker who can get along
smoothly with the patrons, and has
nerve enough to demand good raw milk
at their hands. He should be able to
stop the leaks in the operation OF the
factory. One complaining patron can
do more harm to creamery than can be
repaired by dozen quiet, friendly ones.
IL the manager can 90 to the patron and
talk over his grievances with him In
friendly way it will save much loss. 1t
would be good plan to invite some OF
the patrons in to see the monthly Bah
cock tests made. Many testing ma
chimes are not used often enough to
keep them in order They do poor work
in consequence and wrong patrons. III
we use the Babcock test we must see
that the glassware is correctly calibrated,
the acid of proper strength, and the
tester run at proper speed.
.sVisiting the farmer, by the butter
maker or the manager, to show that you
have had an interest in him and MS
herd, helps to produce more and better
milk. Our dairy schools have been
catering to the manufacturing side OF
the question, but after all, the producer
is at the bottom of it. Milk producers
must receive more attention in the fu-
ture if we are to keep the dairy business
up with other lines of work. New

Sowing the Seed Uniformly.

No good farmer likes to see grass and
grain in uneven streaks across the field,
but al we ride along the country how
frequently do We see fields OF grass or
grain showing a strip ten or twelve feet
wide that is thick, covering the ground
in mat-like condition, then there will
be a narrow streak of almost bare
ground: and this makes bad looking
field and shows a lack of care or science
in sowing the seed. Often the farmer
gets in a hurry and thinks he can not
spend the time to do a painstaking job;
but when the seed grows, it shows quite
distinctly that it would have paid to
take more care in the matter. In many
years experience in sowing grain and
grass seed by hand have found it the
most satisfactory to go over the field
both ways, sowing one half the seed
each time. Although it may take a
little longer, then it comes up even and
nice and grows in manner that gives a
far better sod and field that is not half
covered with weeds.
Grass is about the most satisfactory
crop we can grow; and considering the
fact that when well prepared and seeded,
a field will produce profitable crop for
number of years, we should aim to do
il in the best manner possible and take
good care of the field afterwards. l
think it not the best plan to pasture
our moving fields and do it but little.
| had rather cut the grass the second
time and feed it to the cattle than to
have them run in the fields.-Cor. IN

Rules for Buying Horses.

That certain rules should be observed
in buying horses is the opinion express
ed by John Griffin, of Illinois, in the
following from Farmers Voice:
| have several rules to follow when
buyinga horse, and every time have
departed from these I have been stuck.
Never have fad regarding the colts of
any sire or dam, and that they must be
good because of their breeding or the
character of other progeny. Never have
a fad as to color or other minor points.
Buy an individual first, and let all other
points be second. Never buy colt un-
less you want plaything or something
for prospective value. For 40 years l
never purchased a horse under s years
old, and never bought an unsound one.
Another good rule is never to buy a
horse Of a gentleman dealer, who sells
because>he wants money, has no use for
the horse, has not time or does not care
TO drive him, or other well-knOwn sto'
ries. This rule does not apply to regular
dealers. The gentleman dealer is a
s.critter" in a class by himself. Most
of them are unsound in everything but
wind.
The best rule is to buy horses OF men
who are in reality horse breeders, and
who are in the business to stay. To do
so they know an honorable name is their
best advertisement. The gentleman
dealer is always ready to do you, and is
closely related to the widow who wants
to sell her horse because her husband
has just died, and she cannot bear to
drive any more on account of her broken
hearted grief.

NOt Her Business.

Mrs. Plummer Is one OF the gentle,
clinging women who are guarded ana
guided by some strong and well Dal-
anced member Of the Sterner sex us

died she was overcome by grief ana u
sense Of helplessness.
Nov. my dear Emily. what are all
these bills?" asked her cousin one day
when Mrs. Plummer had been wild
Ow nearly six months.
"They are gas bills" said Mrs
Plummer, looking alphabetically at n

blue ones are telephone bills. They
are beginning to complain at the tele'
phone office. and they've said some
thing about taking out the telephone
and the gas company has shut off the
gas already. sat in the dark last

"Well. but why on earth don't you
pay the bills?" asked her bewildered

How Mr.. Frog. Wit Saved Him.

One day IL jolly old pelican was
walking OH the shore of a pond when
he came across Mr.. Bullfrog. Hello
said he, you're just the fellow was
looking for. My stomach reminds me
that il is about dinner time. and there
is no one that ! should rather have
present at my meals than you. sir. y
And he chuckled to himself.
You don't intend to eat me, dc
you?" asked the frog anxiously.
"Well, that was the calculation
was figuring on" replied the pelican.
But I'm green" said the frog.
Good joke" laughed the pelican,
but feel sure you're ripe" And, put
ting his long neck down quickly. Mr..
Pelican scooped up Mr.. Frog.
AS he reached the pelican's great
pouch the frog cried out. "Oh, Mr.. Pei.
lean. let me ask you riddle"
"Go on" said he.
"Why are you like cough dropT'
asked the frog.
Give it up to save time said the
pelican.
Because you've got a frog In your
throat" answered the frog.
That was more than MIR. Pelican
could stand. He opened his mouth and
laughed enough to kill himself.
Mr.. Bullfrog. seeing the chance he
wanted. made good his escape.
There are times when it is good
thing to know joke or two.-Chatta-

In this building are installed the eX'
hIbits Of all the executive departments
Of the government. The building is a
vast storehouse of an endless variety
OF treasures dear to the heart OF every
true American. Precious documents
