The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1905-12-01
Governor Warne. az Hamilton Fair.

We we're in error last week in stating
that the ladies whose carriage passed
over Ward Taylor did not STOP as was
told US. We find that they did do so,
and not until they had ascertained that
the boy was not seriously injured did
they drive on.
On the great lakes, traffic during the
month of October was the heaviest for
any single month of this year, 1853, ,904
net tons of freight having been shipped
from the various ports during the winter.
This equals nearly four tons every second
of the 81 days
The executive committee of the Michi
gan forestry association will meet Tues
day, December y, in Grand Rapids to
plan compaign of education on forestry
topics, particularly along the lines of re-
forestation and preservation of the lighter
soils of the state.
Some time ago The True Northerner
advocated the establishment of an ice
skating rink on tho athletic grounds,
and We again call attention to it by re-
ferring to the fact that the Dowagiac
school board has made arrangements to
establish such riuk on vacant lots near
each school house in that city
During the month of October live stock
receipts at five of the leading western
markets were 4,l70O42 head, a greater
number than were received in either 1904
or 1903; the number of cars required to
handle this amount of stock totaed 570,-
473. If these receipts keep up live stock
will without doubt suffer a decline in
price,
With three days more of the open sea e.
son to hear from, 1905 bids fair to break
the record for hunting casualties. Up
to November y, 26 persons have been
killed and 81 wounded The majority of
injuries were self-inhicted, some of which
prove to be unreasonable carelessness.
One mans death, from his own gun,
was brought about by knocking apples
from a tree.
One of the most important meetings
of the winter, to fruit growers, will be
held at South Haven commencing Tues
day December 5, closing on Thursday
afternoon. Speakers from Ohio, Canada
and Connecticut will be present. These,
together with those of state reputation
and local fame will present fine program.
No other such opportunity will be offered
the orchardst this season, and no one
should miss it,
At the scoring test held in Detroit
October u and D there were l0l samples
of butter and 80 samples of cheese The
highest score, 81 3 wasgiven to Buchanan
creamery company. Van Buren, county
creameries stood as follows: Chas Lin
ton, Bloomingdale, %; Chas. Linton,
Berlamont, 93; NJ. {. Knoll, Decatur, 30;
Decatur creamery, %; Gler dale creamery,
%; Lawrence creamery, 90 This test is
teaching many valuable lessons. Among
other things it shows that the finest and
most delicate havors in butter cannot be
produced unless the cream is pastuerized
and pure culture starter used. Even in
the best dairy sections the best whole
milk plants do not seem TO be able TO
develop the most delicate favors where
the cream is not pastuerized, and
where a natural starter is used. This
test also shows plainly that nothing
but the best quality of milk can be de-
pended upon to make fine cheese and
that great skill is required by the cheese
maker to make anything like uniformly
fair quality of cheese with average milk
