Wisconsin and New York, the latter
having total of 1905 establishments.
There is much difference in the size
of the factories in the several states. In
New York and Pennsylvania the cream
cries are small, the average annual
product being, respectively, $1,000 and
$4,000 pounds of butter. In Illinois and
Minnesota the average is $4,000 and 75,-
600 pounds, respectively, and in Wis
consin 81 900 pounds. In Iowa they are
larger, with an annual output of 104,-
600 pounds. Vermont and Kansas show
the influence of few large establish
ments by raising the average to 121 900
and $4,000 pounds, respectively Some
Of the large creameries make from
100000 to 100000 pounds of butter a
year. For the entire country the aver.
age product of creamery for a year is
71,730 pounds of butter. Similar differ
ences exist among the cheese factories;
the largest are in New York, where the
average product is $4,000 pounds a year,
ana IN Wisconsin, where there are many
small factories, the average is brought
down to G1,000 pounds. In Michigan and
Pennsylvania the average is $4,000 or
10000 pounds. The annual product of
the average cheese factory for the whole
country is a little larger than for the
average creamery, or nearly $4,000
pounds. A few report the production OF
100000 to 100000 pounds year.
This aggregate annual production of
butter is at the rate Of SOP pounos to
every square mile of land area in the

FEEDING FOR SWEET HAMS.
How an Illinois Farmer Produces
Pork That Is Sweet, Wholesome
and Healthful.

A northwestern gentleman visiting an
Illinois farmer who killed and cured his
own meat was so captured by the SUI
perior aroma and flavor Of the ham
served at the farmers table that he was
led to inquire his method of feeding
which was given as follows:
The ration is simple. 1t consists Of
corn, either shelled or on the cob,
whichever is the most convenient, and
when conditions permit, the corn is al
ways soaked. In addition to the corn he
gave plentiful supply of swill. made by
adding Is pounds of linseed cake (oil-
meaD to the barrel of water"
He stated that he had fed hogs in this
way for 25 years. They took on flesh
faster, were always healthy, and had
never had a case of hog cholera. He
was surprised at the simplicity of TIE
method and the cause of the excellence
the hog meat. If this method were
universally followed venison and fowl
would be discarded, and the meat of the
once despised hog would soon become
delicacy more frequently seen on every
table in the land. 1t is self-evident
that the reason for hog meat being I'M
der the ban in olden times was the fact
that hogs were scavengers by compul-
sion. Driven to eat the most repulsive
garbage to sustain life, their meat was
affected thereby. and their meat was nn
doubt unclean.-Midland Farmer

little experience in politics and
hardly any acquaintance among the
people with whom he was called upon to
maintain close relations during four
years; but he contrived in that time to
make many warm friends who still hold
him in pleasant remembrance.
Thurber will not take rank with Cor

Lamont are in a class by themselves to
which it is doubtful whether any others
will ever be admitted. How much of
Mr.. Cleveland's success in his first adj
ministration was due to the tact and
discretion of SECRETARY Lamont will
probably never be known, but Lamont
had a way. of smoothing off the rough
edges and of bringing disgruntled poll
ticians into line the value of which to a
decidedly brusque superior can hardly
be exaggerated. He had been schooled
among the newspaper men and poll
ticians of Albany and he fitted perfectly
into his new surroundings.
Cortelyou had all his training in the
Washington departments and no little
portion of the political skill he developed
was undoubtedly due to his close asso-
citation with President Mckinley, who
was past master of politics and to be

ton in it's self.

is out of this factional disturbance that
the charges against him have grown.
Most of the witnesses who have APP

speak English with so marked dialect

are driven to desperation in their en-

Charges made by reputable witnesses
are denied with emphasis by equally
reputable witnesses, SO that the result
of the investigation is likely to be clean
bill of health for the senator.
The most serious charge is that made
by Leopold Hahn, whom Dietrich de-
clined to reappoint as postmaster. He
asserted before the committee that Mr..
Fisher, his successor as postmaster, had
told him that he had been obliged to
pay the senator for his appointment.

to the eleventh census the per capita
supply was 1888 pounds from the farm
and 2,91 pounds from the factory, or
1924 pounds in all. In 1880 the supply
was 1850 and 0.5S pounds, or 1903 per
unit of population.
AS a rule the states producing the
greatest quantities of butter in factories
are also those in which the quantities
made on farms are greatest. Ohio is a
notable exception; it produced 1851
299 pounds of butter on farms, which is
more than any other state, while it's

small, being only S,117,321 pounds. BY

Farmers who buy cattle feeders should

tells the Drovers' Telegram that there

low and which he thinks will prove prof

readily than the 1,700-pound steers that
have fed on feed year. The feeder
must study his line of business, and do
the work Systematically, too, as the hap
hazard feeder cannot expect good re-
suits. The great trouble with most OF
the cattle coming to the market at the
present time is that they have been
warmed up and are not fit to be market

are little too sappy to sell as feeders to
take back into the country. So in this
case the feeder lost his corn. This class
of steers ought to have been sold before
they were fed as stockers or feeders, or
finished up so they would bring price

cent. of its farm product; the south At
lantic division only Al per cent, and
the western division only SO per cent.
1t may be supposed that the returns
of butter made on farms were as ac-
curate as reported for the censuses of
previous years as for that of 1900. Com
parisons are therefore in order. The
-otal product on farms reported every
ten years from 1859 to 1899, inclusive,
is given in Table X, on page 40. The
farm butter product per capita of popu-
lation has been as follows: Census of
1850, 1851 pounds; census of 1860, 14.62
pounds; census of 1870, 1888 pounds;
census of 1880, 1850 pounds; census OF
1890, 1888 pounds, and census of 1900,
l406 pounds of farm butter per capita
per annum. Since 1880, and including
that year, creamery butter also has been
produced in rapidly increasing quantity.
Therefore the per capita production of
farm butter has been quite variable, and,
although the rate increased during the
decade prior to 1890, Notwithstanding a
very large increase of creamery butter
during the same period, the last decade
shows a decrease in rate exceeding any
thing previous; while, at the same time,
the total production of butter on farms,
as reported by the Twelfth census, was
somewhat greater than ever before.
The five states producing the greatest
quantity of butter on farms were, in the
order named, Ohio, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Iowa and Michigan. Together
they produced one-third of the total.
Great as the dairy interests of the farm
yet are, they are gradually being trans
ferred from the farm to the factory.
The coys and the milk are still a part of
the farm product, but the converting of
milk into butter and cheese is more and
more becoming the work of factory
Previous to 1850 the creamery was I'M
known in America, but since that time

ten years that followed however, great
impetus was given the creamery indus

showed total of 1873 creameries,
