Prices For Butterfat.

Do you know our price for but
terfat, last half of January, is
28c per pound?
Do you know this means Slip
to $1.25 per hundred for milk2
Do you know during the winter
of 1902 we paid as high as ETC
for butterfat; and Csc in 1908?
Do you know these are better
prices than dairymen of New
York, Wisconsin, and other old
dairy states who follow dairying
exclusively, are realizing for their
milk produced on farms worth
$500 and more per acre?
Do you known this beats rails
ing dollar wheat or ffty-cent
corn?
Do you known we paid more
money to the farmers of Nebtask
in 1904 than all other creamery
companies operating in the state.
Do you realize what you are
losing if you are not the owner
of a De Laval hand separator,
aud one of our patrons?
Do you know that we sell the
De Laval, the best separator or
earth?
Do you know that out of 4
total of 10000 separ ators used II
Nebraska $4,000 are De Lavals,
Do you know, if you are not one
of our 10000 patrons, that it viii

paper, the Commoner. We sup
pose it is useless to say that they
will be most interesting to all
those who desire to be posted on
the way other people live. This
paper has for some time been
trying to increase the Commoner
circulation, because it is the best
exponent of true democratic
doctrine. But now with this ad-
ded feature it should receive
among its list of readers many
hundreds of our people. You
can secure the Commoner by pay
ing 25 cents and one years sub
scription to this paper or you can
get the Commoner alone by leav-
ing your name and 60 cents at

Platte County Road Plan.

Benton Gsbbert in Platte City Landmark.
We have tried all the laws gro und
out at Jefferson City, and at last
have resurrected the old contract law
and have been trying it this year,
giving to contractors from 40 to 90
miles. The plan does not meet pub lie
approval, and the roads give eloquent
testimony thereto. No road law will
ever be success that does not com
pei, through personal interest, a per-
sonsl charge Of the road throughout
the year. One days care and 364
days Of neglect won't make good
roads, however good the one days
work was done,
We people OF Platte county can, by
making a different application OF the
law. devise a better law than the
sages at Jefferson City in their log
rolling procedure will ever give US
The county court can let these con
tracts for the mile or 100 miles, 10y
letting the contract to farmers fol
hall mile or more, running along
side their farms, They will be per
soually interested, will use the KIM
drag at the right time, keep loos
rocks out OF the road, fill up she mu'
holes, pick out the stones and Civ
us the best roads we ever had for tn
same money now given to contraC
tors, who have too many miles t
look after. This Is the old Swiss Law
