FROM BEN ERANEllh,s START.

1t has been nearly $50 years since
Benjamin Franklin landed the post
mastership of Philadelphia as the re-
ward for political service. Ben was an
editor and had trouble circulating his
newspaper but with the aid of the gov
eminent he was allie to hire post boys
and Immediately thel'eupon the circu-
lation of the Pennsylvania Gazette
grew apace and the precedent estab
lished has to this day been considered
sufficient authority for editors to in :
master appointment are ex-officio,
paramount to all others.
But little did Ben think, when he
used his political pull to land post
office for himself, of what a tremend .
Gus enterprise he had launched. It is
true that his success with the Phila-
sdelphia postoffice secured for him a
few years later commission from the
crown to organize postal system for
the colonies, and he later became the
first postmaster general appointed by
the continental congress, but fifty
years after he had added the Philadei-
phia postoffice to his newspaper ell
terprise there We're only seventy five
pOstoffices in the United States. To-
day, however, there are 71,131 postof-
fees in this country. handling annually
$500 million pieces of mail, or lis
pieces for every man, woman and child
In the land. No greater revelation Of
the growth in intelligence as the result
Of Franklin'si introduction Of the usa
OF the printing press and his; recog-
milton Of the independence of postoffice
and printing plant, could be made.
!, The cost of handling this amount OF
mail In America was S152 100000, whiia
the revenues were s143, 100000, leaving
nearly $9,OOO,OO0 deficit. In comparison
the postoffices of Great Britain hand
led an average of 101 pieces Of mail 10
each person at cost of $55,000,000, re-
ceiving therefor $77.C00,0O0. or profit
Of s322,000,0 900, and the German govern
ment made profit OF $15,0o0,0o0 hand
ling an average of LOT pieces tx the
person.
It Is Postmaster General Cortelyou's
task to reorganize our postal system
and make it modern business insti.
tuition. AS an example of the magnitude
Of his undertaking 1t is mentioned
that the rate paid the railroads for
carrying mail has not been changed
since 1878. When Cortelyou gets thru
and a few more rural routes are estab-
lished, Franklin's ghost should return
to view the developments of two gem
erations of men. If editors were pray
ing set they should hold union meetings
for this express purpose, for editors
owe much to Franklin.

Hogs and Condiments

Hogs are very fond of charcoal, es-
pecially if their diet is restricted and
they are unable to get to the ground
to hunt for such substances as the
earth yields. We have charred pieces
of old fence posts and found that a
good quantity of charcoal was pro-
duced. Then, too, one may rake up
the cobs and fire them; quenching
the blaze when it seems to have gone
far enough. Soft or bituminous coal
is relished by hogs, and a quantity OF
it dumped in the yard where access
sible to the hogs fills a frequent
want. 1t is also part of our care of
hogs to provide a steady supply of
salt and ashes-indeed, the hogs use
up all the wood ashes produced on the
premises Farm, Stock and Home.

New York Prices For Butter

The creameries of the country base
the prices for cream very generally on
tie New York prices for butter,
some OF them giving the full price,
some a trite over, some two or three
cents or wen four or five cents less,
We wish u readers to understand
what this means. The creamery
buys from the farmer butter fat and
gives approximately the New York
price for butter, perhaps a little
more or less. One hundred pounds
of butter fat will yield from III to
l25 pounds of butter, determined
largely on the skill which the cream
eryman has in working water into
the butter. a trick which it is a great
misfortune was ever taught in any
agricultural college. as it means
eventually the lowering of the quality
OF the butter of the west. The large
creamery can very well afford to do
business on a II to 25 per cent basis,
for that is what it means. The small
creamery perhaps can't afford to give
the New York price of butter fat. 1t
is we'll that farmers should under
stand it. They know very well that
no creamery can afford to pay the
farmer the same price for butter fat
that they get FOR butter in New York
and that there must be a catch some
where. They are perfectly willing
that the creameryman should have a
good profit, and therefore it is we'll
for them to understand Just what
that profit is.-Wallaces' Farmer.

exceedingly active competitors for
cream in the neighborhoods of local

ance OF their business that they dis

ure can be made to serve as a warnino

The Bumper Corn Crop
By GEO. b. DAILY

There was once a doubling Thomas.
Who said corn would never pay
In this land of the Dakotas:
Saying which, he went his way.
II you chance to see him, brother.
Break it gently unto him
That there is a bumper corn crop.
In the valley of the Jim.
Not alone in the fair counties
OF the valley farther down,
remlume ears galore hang ripened,
In the fields of good old Brown.
Little dreamed we of such corn crops
In the Old days far and dim,
When on sod we planted squaw corn
In this valley of the Jim.
Soon the whispering blades will rustic
To the prairie chickens wing,
And the ripe husks will part revealing
Fulfilled promise of the spring.
Then atield will go the huskers
When cold mornings give them vim,
And the yellow ears will fly some
In the valley of the Jim.
Richest thing in all their wandering
That the early settlers found
Was the land they plowed, wheat crazy,
Till they made it good corn ground.
Corn will fill the horn df plenty
Till it overtlows the brim:
Corn is king and through his kingdom,
Gently flows the winding Jim.

that some pieces require a week or

Some Sayings Which Prove the True

The proverbs of a nation are the

oftentimes in proportion to the truth

beautiful sayings than the Irish. 'The
silent mouth is melodious," is an Irish
aphorism pregnant with beauty and
poetry. And another saying, inculat-

that which tells us "Our eyes should
