v Q R I Il MILLIONS
IOWA SHIPPED 100000 POUNDS
OF BUTTER DURING
1904.

One hundred and forty million
pounds of butter were prepared for the
market in the state of Iowa during
1904. Seventy-fve million pounds
were shipped from the state and 65,-
100000 pounds were consumed at
home.
These figures are from the report
OIL State Dairy Commissioner Fl. R.
Wright. This report is soon to be is.
sued and will show that the butter in
dustry Of Iowa is one of the states
principal assets,
Just what part Wapellc county had
in the grand total Of 100000, 900
pounds of butter prepared is not yet
known for the brief advance reports
show the figures for only few Of the
counties where the output of the pro-
duct is largest.
The butter shipped out Of the state
brought an average Of PA cents per
pound in New York and was worth
1915 cents at home. This brings the
total value of the Iowa butter for the
year up to more than $25,0O0,000. The
butter shipped out of the state was
sold for $l4,0o0,oo0 net.
1t Is a wonderful showing and shows
that the Iowa COW is worth far more
than the Iowa hen, though the latter's
j record is rem arkable one. Mr..
Wright says there Is no reason why
the yearly butter product should not
be multiplied fourfold. He does not
think that the farmers fully appreciate
the great profit in the industry. Some OF
the counties ship out comparatively lit.
tie butter. Washington county, for ex.
ample, ships out but couple of hun.
dred thousand pounds of butter, though
1t is one of the finest selections of the
state. Following is list of those
counties that shipped more than mil
lion pounds:

School in the lower district will
close today for two weeks vaca-
tion. Appropriate exercises are
being held in all the rooms this
afternoon. Each one of the pupils
will be presented with a sack of
candy and nuts, treat from the
trustees.
Owing to the fact that the Wash
ington school began the fall term
one week later than was intended,
and also to the fact numb Der of the
pupils attend only during the late
fall and winter months, it has been
deemed advisable to have only one
weeks vacation. The school will
therefore, reopen Tuesday mornin 9

music, and nature, to her remotest
shores, felt the thrill that comes
when the Infinite bends in blessing
to his children.
The thought exalts man as no
other thought ever did, for the
heavenly herald is waiting some
where, SO is the heavenly host and
the exultant souls look forward to
when, with sublimatad senses, he,
too, may hear the singing and the
melody which is awakened as planets
and suns in harmonious accord roll
on in their stately professions. The
feeling comes that it is true, that,
after all, poor man whose tenure
here is so insecure, is still immortal
AMI what, after all, his station is
but little lower than the angels;
that after all this life is but one
stage in an endless progression that
takes on more light, more music,
more splendor, and more capacity
for enjoyment the farther 1t ad-
vances toward that real source
where all is light and music and
splendor.
So JOY should rule today, SO every
child should be made happy. So
with more love and trust families
should gather in rejoicing today;
SO words of welcome and greetings
of peace should pass between friends
and neighbcrs, the yule log should
blaze, the mistletoe should hang IN
every home, there should be feast
ing and song and a wealth of flowers
in every home. But there should
be no rudeness, no boisterous shout
ing, for the day symbols such q
coming as an inspired soul gave ex-
preston to.
There should be songs and feast.
ing and gladness today. Only love
words should be spoken, friends
should be remembered, and the day
should be SO greeted and passed that
in memory it will be a white day as
long as life lasts .-Goodwin's

CHRIST MAS


earth
Is ended in the final sleep: that when
There waits for us q new and holier birth;
This sacred day, why should not jOy-bells ring,
Why should hot organs peal and incense rise?
Why should not happy children carols sing,
And eyes look love to love-enchanted eyes:
This day OF days, the skies seem bending low,
The EARTH exalted. nearer seems to heaven.
The murm'ring brooks, the gentle winds that
blow,
Seem all attuned to music's joyous rhythm,
To swell the anthem great to earth and sky,
Good will to men; Glory to God on high"
The ancients were wont to cele-
brate day in the late autumn or
early winter In honor and thankful
ness for the harvest that had been
vouchsafed them. The early Chris
tians merged this into the day which
was the reputed date of the birth of
the Messiah, and so 1t has come
down to us. 1t is festival day,
day of rejoicing, because Of graft
tude for garnered harvests, because
of the sublime hope which came to
the world with the coming of the
Christ.
1t Is celebrated by all the millions
of Christians. Its coming is rung
in by joybells and carols; the day
in the great cathedrals is honored
by all the pomp of organ and choir,
burning incense, robed priests and
shaded lights-with voices of praise
and prayer. In Christian homes it
is the day for reunions, for presents,
for feasting and song. Among
neighbors it is day for welcomes
and kindly greetings. 1t is a day
to forget animosities, to link friend
ships more closely, for joyous greet
ings, for forgetting cares.
Without the hope engendered by
it, the festival would still be good
for men to heed, for it comes as a
harbinger of peace and good will;
it shadows forth when the-world's
hot passions shall be lulIed to rest
under the brooding of the white
wings of peace, when nations shall
haye ceased to learn war any more.
To the unlearned the day is filled
with a solemn joy, for when it
comes they lift their timid eyes,
borne up by the hope of the day, to
dream Of world that awaits them
where there will be no more pain or
care, where the music that will fill
their ears will be music from where
music first had birth, and from
which will be eliminated every dis
cord, every harsh note.
The more learned person is the
more the hope born Of this anniver.
sary will be magnifed. An angel
was the herald; the heavenly host
joined to chant in deep diapason the
music that filled the universe, the
golden axles of the stars as they
rolled through the ether were set to

GOOD CROP or ONIONS.
Thirty Thousand Pounds to the Acre
Being Harvested in the Mesilla
Valley Pumping Experiments

Mesilla Park, Aug. 23-The farmers
and gardeners of this section have been
busy during the past few days in har
yesting their onions and getting them
ready for market. The crop is good
considering the dry spell that prevail
ed this year just at the time when the
onions needed the most water Some
of the gardeners are securing 10000
pounds to the acre.
The melon crop is on the market but
as rule is not up to the standard of
other years. The Bartlett pear is rip
ening and will be ready for market in
few days.
Professor ]. J. Vernon, of the U. S.
agricultural experiment station at the
New Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts is now busily en-
gagged in drilling wells around the sta
ton pumping plant in order to deter
mine what effect the operation Of the
pump has upon the surrounding water
level This will tend to show what ef-
feet there would be on the water level
with pumping plants generally in use
throughout the valley. Much interest
is being manifested in this experiment.
