After few weeks delay, your cor.
| respondent is again knocking for ad-
| mittance TO the the columns of Old
! Marion's favorite paper.
Though it is inclined to be cool in
this section, everyone seems to be
enjoying the change in the weather
! Since the election things have been
somewhat 'wet'' in these parts, not
withstanding the returns showed 18
to in favor of the "drys.'' The
rain made it's appearance early Sat-
urday afternoon and continued for
twenty-four hours. We believe, how
ever, that times will not grow worse.
The health of the community has
improved in the last few weeks, there
being now only a few cases of fever
which it is to be hoped will soon dis
appear since the coming of the cool
weather.
The Mining City was singing her
wet weather songs last Saturday, so

Confed derate Reunion.

As the time approaches for the di-
vision reunion of the United COnfed-
crate Veterans to be held on the 18th
and 18th of December the interest in
the event deepens. At the large and
enthusiastic meeting of the R. E. Lee
Camp held at Woodmen's Hall last
evening final preparations were COM
pleted SO far as this work can be done
by the camp. Some details are still
in the hands of the various commit
tees who will report on them in due
course. Miss Elizabeth L. Fleming,
daughter of ex-governor Francis P.
Fleming, the general commanding
the Second Brigade of the Florida
Division, United Confederate Veter-
ans, was unanimously chosen sponsor
for the camp. No more appropriate
selection could have been made. Miss
Fleming's high bred charm and great
popularity, as well as the prominent
position of her family in all matters
connected with the interests of the
veterans and the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, not only of this
state, but of the country at large,
unite to make her a most perfect
sponsor. The selection of maid of
honor and other details concerning
the welcoming of the division spon-
sor and maid of honor has been left
entirely with Miss Fleming, though
frequent conference regarding the
reception, etc., will, of course, be
held with the program committee

The county commissioners of St.
Johns county have decided to build a
new court house for which purpose
they have appointed committee to
visit Live Oak. Gainesville, Fernan-
dina, Orlando and other county sites
in which have recently been erected
beautiful. substantial and ornate
buildings. The committee does not
include Ocala in it's itinerary. Ma
rion county is everywhere proclaimed
the banner county of Florida and
Ocala the banner town of the state
and yet we have a court house that
is far behind that of any other county
in Florida. We believe that if the
matter of building a new court house
was resubmitted to the voters the de-
cision would be different because we
have heard a great many men from
the country who voted against the
proposition express themselves and
would now cheerfully vote for it
as they understood the proposition
better. So we hope the county COM
missioners will give the matter an
other trial.
Marion county ought to step in line
with her sister counties and march to
the music of push, progress and pros
perity.

Standard of the Show Yard.

1t is unfortunate for our live stock
interests that the standards set up in
the show yards are MOI the same that
are profitable on the farm. Even a
draft horse, to win a prize, must be
fat. If he is put to work on a farm,
the surplus fat must be worked of
before he is of much value for hard
labor. The Ayrshire COW must have
horns that stand up straight, or she
will be debarred from winning a
premium. When she goes into the
herd for practical milk production, her
horns are cut off, as she is more use.
full that way. The hogs must be very
fat, or else stand no chance of winning
a prize. The standards of the farm
are those that relate to utility. The
standards of the show yard largely to
fancy. All stockmen understand this,
but no mar has yet been able to evolve
a standard that would suit equally
well the show yard and the farm. X
is evident, however, that in the devel.
opment of new standards, the ones in
vogue in the show yard will have to
conform to the standards of the farm.

The Windmill and the MIX TROUGH

me and the MIX Trough.
Nearly every farmer we visit has a
windmill, but o one in twenty makes
the most use of 1t. For instance, the
windmill usually is located near the
barn and the water tank is in some
convenient place near the windmill.
Hundreds of gallons of cool fresh
water are pumped each day, but not a
gallon of it goes through the milk
u when, as q matter of fact, II
all could just as we'll flow through the
milk trough as to go where ii does.
Most farmers have a well near the
house and a hand pump in 1t, from
which the water for house use is
pumped by hand, and If they have a
mix trough the good wife is required
TO NIL 1t night and morning and the
whole long, warm summer day the
water In the trough is of the same
temperature as the air outside. The
result is that instead OF having good,
sweet cream and milk and good, solid
butter, they have sour cream and milk
n strong butter.
III you want to have the full benefit
or your windmill and with IL good
milk, cream and butter, build your
milk house near the well at the house,
make a wooden tank about six or
eight feet long, twenty-six to thirty
inches deep, n about eighteen TO
twenty inches wide. Set it inside OF
the milk house and move the wind
mill from the barn to the house. With
the aid of iron pipes carry the water
from the milk trough to the tank at
the barn and you will have conferred
a great favor not only upon your wife,
but upon all concerned. The milk
trough should be provided with an
overflow pipe that will always keep 1t
tull, but never let il overflow. With
this arrangement all the water that
Is pumped for stock passes through
the milk trough and the milk and but
ter Is always kept at the proper tenn
p~erature. We used the Cooley milk
cans and a swinging churn and made
the windmill do the churning. Fol
the money expended, there was Meth.
ing on the farm that yielded so great
a return as the windmill aid milk
trough. The milk house ,hould oe
made tight and a place fixed for a
stove, so the milk can be kept there
In both summer and winter. The
farmer who will once try this method
OF keeping his milk and butter will
wonder how he ever got along without
1t. A. M. Caldwell.

An Oleo Trust in Europe.

That the trust principle is spread
ing over the whole world is evil
denced by reports from Europe,
where all kinds of combinations
are in process of being made.
One Of these is the movement
to form an oleomargarine trust to in
clude all the makers of oleomargarine
in England, Holland and Germany.
The chief mover is said to be the Eng
lish branch of the American Packers
Trust. 1t has already brought into
touch with it some of the principal
factories in the three countries
named. A trust of that kind would
make it easy for the American oleo-
margarine factories to work off to ad-
vantage in Europe some of the un-
colored product that sells so slowly
in this country, for n the foreign
countries the white oleomargarine is
not in the d~isrepute it is in the
United States.

Too Little Good Butter.

The consumption of butter is in
creased by the increase of the gen.
eral quality. There Is a general com.
plant that there is too little good
butter on the market and too much
poor butter. If this applies to cream
cry butter it applies much more to
farm made butter. The American pub
lie is always ready to pay for a prod
uct of good quality, but 1t turns away
from a product of poor quality. This
Is so probably more in this country
than in any other. No matter how
poor the American may be he wants
che best. Sometimes If he cannot pay
for it he runs in debt for il rather
than take a poorer quality for which
he could pay. This is so not only in
the case Of butter but in the case of
almost everything else. The result is
that a poorly made product Of any
kind sells slowly even at a low price.
The problem in this country is to
manufacture good products, for those
only can be marketed without loss.
