CREAMERY PICNICs.

The most difficult man to reach in the
effort to promote improved dairy meth
DDS is the most important one, and that
is the man who milks and feeds the
cows. When his work is done in a
careless, ignorant or slovenly manner
it matters little how much of the best
scientific work is applied to his prod
uct, his blunders cannot be cured. This
man is hard to reach through the agen-
cy of the dairy meetings, for he will
not attend. AS means to overcome
this difficulty few localities have the
past year hit upon the plan of having a
picnic made up of the patrons Of the
local creamery and as part of the pro-
gramme have some competent person
give them heart to heart talk on the
practical matters of feeding their cows
and caring for their milk. In one case
a meeting of this sort did so much
good that the Improvement in the
creamery product was very marked in
a short time, and so much enthusiasm
was the outgrowth of the picnic that
the plans were at once laid for another
and better picnic next year.

THE HOME BEAUTIFUL.

We do not care how much money
man has-if he las no good home In
its largest and best sense then he is
poor indeed. So many things which
money cannot buy enter into the max
ing of good home, money being only
one of many factors. There are two or
three things which are Indispensable.
There must be a refined and lovable
woman to care for it, some children to
brighten it up and a husband and ia
Their who takes pride in his home and
who knows that always there is wait
ing for him the warmest of welcomes.
There should be bit of lawn, tree
or two and some flowers and a tangle
of vines or creepers on the porch. No
matter how plain the fare, good man
ners will be observed at the table, and
boys and girls will there be taught
how to behave like ladies and gentle
men. 1t cannot well be so poor home
that it will be entirely destitute of books
and papers in these latter days. Inside
the walls of such home may be en-,
joyed the essence of human happiness,
a pleasure in living which the old bach
elor is denied because he won't have
it and which many a rich man cannot
obtain because money will not pur-
chase it, 1t is the home beautiful,
easily possible in town or on the farm
and accessible to rich and poor alike.

THE WAY THEY Do 1T.

We are asked to explain the statement
made recently in these notes to the eff
feet that the establishment of corn
cannery and milk condensing factory
would make any community rich which
obtained them. 1t is, first, the condens-
ing of the raw material of the farm
into high priced product; then the av-
erage price obtained for both corn and
milk makes the annual return per acre
greater than with any other crop
grown; then the production of these
two commodities insures the keeping of
much stock and large supply of ferti-
lizer and so the farm so used grows
constantly richer instead of poorer. We
should rate the added value per acre
for all farm land contiguous to such in
situations at not less than SO per acre
over what the land is worth for other
purposes.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1904-09-07
WOULD NOT ATTEMPT 1T.

A friend writes asking for some d.
rections as to how best to move some
large evergreen trees to another place
in his yard. We would not attempt to
do it, for the chances are that every
tree would be either Killed or spoiled.
While large deciduous trees may be safe
ly removed, the tops have to be largely
cut back, process which would utterly
ruin an evergreen, for the cOnifers will
not throw out new wood to replace the
loss, as do deciduous trees. Further, the
feeding roots of these evergreens are
now so far removed from the tree that
most Of them would be cut OF In any
possible process of removal 1t will be
far better for him to set out young
trees where he wants them and put the
old ones intp firewood

BETTER ARBITRATE THE FIGHT.

We know two or three farmers who
are always in hot water, scrapping and
having and sometimes fighting with
hired men and others with whom they
have business transactions. There is
one man whose name usually as plain
tiff in some controversy, has been
found on almost every court docket is
sued by the county in which he lives
for the past twenty years. He lives a
contentious and seemingly miserable
life, for people are afraid of him and
do not like him. We will not say that a
man should never go to law, but will
say that nine out of ten of the disputes
which arise in business way between
neighbors may be far better and more
cheaply disposed of by submitting the
issues to three disinterested men.

The plague Of a crop Of early pota-

A GOOD MONOGRAM.

If farmer wants monogram of his
business II should be the 50 C's"-corn,
clover and the cow-a trinity which
will always work together for his profit
and benefit. The clover and corn con-
stitute almost balanced ration, and
the COW knows how to use them. Where
clover grows there also grows big corn,
and where big corn grows nearly all
good things in an agricultural way are
possible. The three make happy com
bination both for the man and the SOIL
as both become richer year by year.

If fruit trees are once heavily mulch

A series Of hailstorms of unusual
severity traversed the western part Of
Iowa during July. The track of these
storms was narrow, not over six or
eight miles In width, but about 5000
farms covered with fine crops Of small
grain just ready for the harvester and
large fields of corn were swept as with
broom and the crops almost totally
destroyed. The value Of hail insur-
ance, which many of the losers carried,
will to some extent mitigate the loss.
