Then, with yelp, he plunged to the

Protesting Against Rate Reduction

ton of j. Pope Brown, Chairman OF
the Georgia Railroad commission, to
reduce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the Order
of Railway Conductors. and unions OF
the blacksmiths. machinists and teleg-
raphers, boilermakers, railway train
lien, carpenters and joiners, clerks
and car men. These organizations en-
ployed an attorney especially to rep
resent them, who urged that such
reduction would work against the
prosperity Of the state and lead to a
reduction in the number of railroad
employees, as well as of their wages.
The Travellers Protective Association
also protested that a reduction, as
proposed, would result in fewer trains
and poorer service.

COMES BACK UPON THE FARMER

Joseph Kolarik in the Chicago Dairy
Produce recites some of the reasons
that many of the creamery buttermak-
ers advance to him why they do net
exhibit their butter at fairs and con-
%ventions, where it may be judged and
run the chance of securing a premium.
Read what they say:
The one great excuse put forward
by many in explanation Of why they
do not join in the contests is that they
have no chance to win anything: that
they are making a poor quality or but
ter n cannot help II. They give as
reasons that the farmers keep the milk
in the barn, and it has a barn flavor;
or that they keep the milk in the kitch-
en- Or in the cellar where IL gets the
odor of vegetables. Some say that they
have none but foreigners as patrons
who cannot be made to bring good
milk; that the patrons OF their cream
cry are not intereste I III dairying; that
1t is only a side issue with them, and il
is take the milk Or cream as we
bring 1t or let it alone
This is what the buttermake-s say.
Is 1t true? Every creamery butter
maker ought to print this In a small
slip and send IL to each patron and ask
him If it is true in his case. Then he
ought to tell the patron that all the loss
m back finally to the farmer.
The buttermaker will get his wages
just the same il GOOD or bad butter is
made. The railroads will charge just
the same for freight; the cost of mak-'
ing per round is the same. all these
and indeed every expense must be met
first. Then what a money making
thing it is for the farmer to play fool-
ish with his work and dirty
milk and foul cream and lose all the
profit in price that might have come II
he had acted the part OF a well posted
dairyman.
1t all comes back on the farmer at
last.
1t certainly does pay to know what
we ought to do. and then do it.
