GETTING RIGHT at Last.

The Iowa dairy teachers, we are glad
to see. are accepting the theory which
has been pursued by Hoards Dairy
man for a number of years. The theory
is this: If we are to build up and pro-
mote the dairy industry we must COM
mence and end with the farmer who
produces the milk. Professor Mckay
and other Iowa teachers have come to
the conclusion that dairy conventions
run in the interest Of the creamery
alone do not reach the heart OF the
question; so they organized a Dairy
GOSPEL" series of meetings in the dairy
districts for the especial discussion of
the business at the farm end. The
noint of supreme Importance is not the
creamery; that is only secondary. The
business must pay the farmer we'll II
it is to live.
IF he does not know as much as he
ought to make it pay, then instruction
should proceed from the creamery.
Every man connected with the dairy
industry should be a live, progressive
st,,dent of modern dairy methods. AS
matters now stand, in every state, the
creamery and cheese factory end of the
a,ostion ia way ahead of the farm end.
Tdeas that are not dairy ideas; judg-
ments that are not dairy Judgments;
oows that are not dairy cows, and prac-
ticas that are opposed to all profits and
nrogress, obtain on large majority

RuMMAGE SALES.
WEBSTER City Journal.1

l.
There are many schemes propound-
ed to make money for the churches,
but it was a clever woman who
thought of the rummage sale. 1t is a
good thing in many ways. The peo-
pie who are blessed with plenty of
money and who live in good style are
continually hampered by the ever in
creasing amount of discarded or part
ly worn clothing and with hundreds
of other things that are still in good
state of preservation but are compel
led to take a back seat for the newer
or later style. This bright woman
thought of the scheme of asking all
the prosperous members of the church
to ransack their garrets and attics and
bring forth all this clutter of junk
and send it to the church society.
This they placed on display in some
storeroom and put prices on the differ
ent articles so low that there was no
question of price that deferred man
or woman from buying what they
saw. The price was SO low that 1t
sold everything and brought a sum of
money to the church society that put
to shame their former efforts at So
Gals and suppers in raising money.
They found that in three days of hard
work at rummage sale they could
make more money and make it far cas-
Ter than they could with whole sea-
son Of suppers and socials.
The sales are all well patronized,

should approach the biennial elections

Buying a Separator.

Will 1t pay farmer who mflks from
four to eight cows, and has butter
engaged at 20 cents pound, to buy
a cream separator? is a question ask
ed the Country Gentleman by an In
diana farmer. That paper answers his
inquiry by stating that with ordinary
cows and methods of handling milk, a
good separator will remove, at 20l
cents pound, from SIS to IS more but
ter from the milk per COW per year.
With eight cows, this would amount
to from $40 to $50 saving the first year,
to say nothing of the increased feed
ing value of the warm skim milk for
calves and pigs (Which most feeders
value very highly, though 1T cannot
be stated in dollars and cents with any
degree of accuracy. There Is not much
difference in the amount or work re-
qulred to care for the separator and
the tinware where only q little milk is
handled, but with six or eight COWS
there is undoubtedly saving in time.
1t is usually true that better butter
>can be made with the separator, be-
cause the milk is not allowed to stand
so long exposed to possible undesir-
able influences. The cream is only
about one-sixth of the whole amount
Of milk, thus reducing very materially
the amount to be cooled and cared for
where the separator is used There are
not many places on the farm where a
man can invest from $65 to $500 and
actually save from a half to three
fourths of the investment the first
year, as is often done where separa-
tor is installed and properly handled.
With any respectable degree of care
they will last a great many years. OF
course, If neglected, two or three years
will put them in Il very unsatisfactory
condition., but the same is true of any
good machine.

PRESIDENT sTEyN's RECONSTRUCTION.

PRESIDENT SIEYk'S RECONSTRUCTION.
Much caustic comment has been
brought out by the announced deter
animation of Mr.. Steyn, the war presi-
dent of the Orange Free State, to take
the oath of allegiance to the English
government. 1t is pointed out that
Steyn was one of the most determined
leaders of the anti-British party and
his influence upon Kruger strong in
bringing about war. His contemplated
return to South Africa to accept con-
ditions as they are now being made
the basis of adverse and in some cases
singing criticism.
All this seems uncalled for and I'M
Just. Steyn is showing the best sense
and highest patriotism of his career.
South Africa is irretreviably lost to
the Beers. It's Dutch population,
Dutch customs and peculiarities are
: doomed to absorption by the influx
of new life that is pouring into the
Transvaal. The old order has passed
with the republic that was in many
respects less democratic than linn
tied monarchy. The Boer is no longer
master of the Transvaal. Railroads
are being built in many directions, the
attendance in the public schools is SO
per cent larger than it was before the
war, farming is improved by the in
PRODUCTION of new capital and new
methods and the people share in the
larger life of the more southern and
northern colonies. There will be no
return to the OK wagon or to the
mixture of hierarchy and oligarchy
that was the dominating force of South
Africa.
One of the greatest fools is the one
who refuses to accept the inevitable.
1t is vastly to the credit of President
Steyn that he is ready to lend a hand
to his country's prosperity, rather than
sulk over sentiment. There We're
few such sulkers in the south following
the civil war in America, whose exam
pie kept alive the fires of resentment
and delayed the prosperity Of their
section. There were others who ac-
cepted the new conditions and set
out to make the best of them, and
Gordon and Longstreet are great
names in the south where Bob Toombs
is practically forgotten. There IS
neither patriotism nor usefulness in
refusal of citizenship. Steyn fought
until the old hope failed. He is not
only sensible, but patriotic in ac-
cepting the new one.
