Men with uomen.. Voices.

Generally speaking, races living at
high attitudes have weaker and more
highly pitched voices than those living
in regions where the supply OF oxygen
is more plentiful Thus among the
Indians living on the plateaus between
the ranges OF the Andes. at an eleva-
ton of from ten to fourteen thousand
feet. the men have voices like women
and the women like children. and their
singing is a shrill monotone. The Aus
tralian native has n weak voice. but
n knack of sending it n long distance.
and the lowest tribes of African bush
men also possess weak voices. or all
human beings il would seem that the
dwarf race discovered by Stanley in
central Africa have. in point OF volume
and compass. the weakest OF human
voices. and this l.; only what one
would expect from The fccblencss OF

BUTTER TO SELL.
When Summer Markets Are Flooded
With the Farm Product.

Usually farm buttermakers can Sc
cure premium above the average
market price by selling the butter to
private customers who have regard for
quality in products of this nature.
If the maker Is compelled to take
his butter TO stores he usually has to
take the average price given for but
Ter regardless of quality. \ few store
keepers will recognize certain lines of
butter as being superior to others and
will pay more for them, but usually
not as much as can be obtained by
private marketing. In most localities
particularly during the summer
months, the markets are flooded with
farm butter. and the prices are very
unsatisfactory. The maker who is de-
pending on the stores for the sale Of
his butter usually has TO accept the
current price, while If he has worked
up private trade the chances are that
he has market that will give a uni
form price throughout the year.-Ed-
win Ii. Webster.
Pleased and Paying buyers.
One thing should always be borne in
mind by the person who is making but
ter to sell. The butter is for somebody
else to eat, and it is for your interest
TO make it to suit them, whether it just
suits your taste or not. Habit has
great deal TO do with our likes and dis
likes. You may have been accustomed
to sweet cream butter. If so you prob
ably like that best. Or you may have
got used TO eating butter made from
very ripe cream and the butter not
washed to eXpel the buttermilk, caus-
ing it to have very decided flavor and
taste, and so you look upon fine. deli
cate favored butter as insipid. Or you
may like little or no sailing or high
sailing, light color or high color. But
all this is Of no consequence. 1t is no
matter what you like. You want to
make it to suit your customer, and you
want your customers to be those who
are able ana willing to pay a good
price for what suits them. If the Gus
toner wants sweet cream butter, make
1t; if unsalted, make 1t so; if he desires
it high sailed, salt it high. and so on.
Always make it the same for the same
customers. They are getting tastes
formed which you can make it prolita-
BILE to crafty. If one is making butter
to put on the general market he wants
to make what that market demands
and will pay the best price fore. p.
/ Goodrich.

pointed Frederick u. COburn TO the
place, but the latter, to the surprise Of
every one, put aside senatorial honors
on the ground that politics was not his
business. Then the position was of
fered to Judge Benson. There is
curious coincidence in this connection.
Judge Benson removed to Kansas from
New York state in 1869 and took up
the practice OF law in Franklin county.
One of his first cases was before a
justice at Pomona. He started early
one morning to ride to the town, but
found that creek which he had to
cross was up. He followed along the
creek for several miles and then found
farmer boy by the name of +. ID.
Coburn, who directed him in the right
direction The young lawyer attempt
ed to make his pony swim the stream,
but the current was too strong Young
Coburn pulled him out of the water.
This farmer boys declination of SEN
atorship in after years led to Benson's
appointment TO it.
The new senator is sixty-three years
of age, is a veteran of the civil war,
was wounded i'm the battle of the
Wilderness and has served three terms
on the bench Of the Kansas district
court. The day he took his seat in the
senate that chamber Of legislation was
suddenly deserted by It's occupants on
account of the appearance in the Vi
entity of the capitol dome of Beachey's
airship. one of Senator Benson's col
leagues, thinking to be "sociable" TO
the new member, asked if he had seen
the airship.
The Kansas senator eyed his ques-
toner narrowly. "Oh, come now,' he
said. Il may look like darned fool,
but I'm too wise to bite on such
question as that"
Then Mr.. Benson was taken outside
and shown the airship and convinced of
his mistake.

Extra Sine n Handicap
No Thoroughfare.

The government established a rule
with the force and effect of a law that
merchantable butter should not con-
tain more than 16 per cent of water in
its component parts. This seems fair
enough, and so far as stopping fraudu-
lent work goes Is necessary. but the
trouble is 16 per cent. while right
enough for creamery, and especially
storage butter, is not enough for fine
dairy prints, which need more water
to quicken the flavor.
But the most serious trouble comes
to the buttermak who cannot tell
just how to dc ermine. the exact
amount OF water lie Is leaving in the
butter.
We are told that butter may look
dry and hard and yet contain water liz
excess of the laws standard. The poor
buttermaker is not chemist, nor
would he have time TO analyze each
churning, so he must take his chances
between the devil and the deep blue
sea.-Home and Farm.

little known In the United States, but
their performance in the dairy test at

had given back his ring and he had
gone off in dudgeon leaving her with
the afternoon on her hands. They had
planned to skate to Riverdale, five
miles up the river; have supper there
and skate back by moonlight Now it
was all spoiled and she must skate
alone.
She was fond of the ice, and the
swift motion and the bracing air soon
put her in more pleasant frame of
mind. Perhaps she had been hasty in
giving back the ring, but then it is not
every day that one is elected the presi-
dent of the literary club, and he might
at least have congratulated her upon
her victory over Nettie Doran.
She had been so engrossed with her
thoughts that ii was with surprise that
she found she had entered the cut"
more than two miles from the landing.
Here the river ran between steep bluffs
for threeQuarters of a mile, and she
shuddered little as she glanced at the
cliffs on either side She never had
noticed it before, but now they seemed
so black and forbidding
She was still CHANGING up as her skate
struck a bit of wood frozen into the
ice, and with cry she sank to the
CLASSY surface. She struggled TO her
feet, but with another little moan she
sank to one knee; she had sprained her
left ankle.
Several times she essayed to rise, but
each time her ankle hurt her more. and
finally she desisted and crept on hands
and knees to the bank. Perhaps some
of the others would take 1t into their
heads to skate up and they would give
her help. If no one came she would
try to creep back after she had rested.
But after an hour she gave up hope
of help coming. she was so numb she
could scarcely move She began to cry
softly. If she could not get to the
lower end OF the cut, where she might
attract attention of some one on shore
she might freeze to death
With infinite labor she crawled few
feet. but she had to give up and sit
down again. Perhaps they might miss
her at the landing and remember that
she had gone up the river. They would
send out a searching party for her. 1t
might be an hour or more before she
could hope for help. but the idea
brought her some comfort, though it
did not check the flow of tears.
Then her quick ear caught the well
come sound Of the ring of steel on the
hard ice and she tried to struggle to
her feet
Around the bend above Tom Runyon

Rest Time to Make Cheese.

The best time TO make dairy cheese
is Immediately after milking, says Pro-
fessor A. L. Hacker. The various
changes that take place in milk nearly
oil develop in the milk drawn In the
evening and kept over until the fol-
lowing morning. So If milk Is made
into cheese Immediately after II Is
drawn no difficulty will be expert
enced.

Are you feeding a cheese COW trying
to get butter? Use your scales and
Babcock test and find out for sure.
The Better Dairy Farming.
1t is known of all men that it is far
cheaper and more economical and bet
ter dairy farming to grow your protein
on the EARN than TO buy It at the store.
even though the purchased ground feed
is bringing a fertilizer on to the farm
to counterfeit the depicting effect of
selling milk Off the farm. Especially,
according to Home and Farm, does
this stand true for those dairymen who
live below the Ohio river and In the
extreme south, where the lugumes
grow so freely and can often be fol-
lowed by or follow another crop on the
same land.
The Nervous Cow.
A COW will nearly always give more
milk when she is MIXED by Il persC
who has been accustomed TO milk h'
than she viii when a stranger talk
her in hand. Some COWS are mo
nervous or sensitive about being ha
died by strangers than Others bu
those nervous COWS are usually the
best milk producers. Frequent changes
of milkmen are not desirable.
Real Dairy Slaves.
The day is most surely coming
when we will see that It is real econ
omy to cut down the number of our
herds and get better stock. Then we
will get out of the bondage we are
now in. The real dairy slaves are the
ones that are keeping so many cows
that do not begin to pay for their keep
ing. At least that is the opinion of
Squire Little.
Large Body of Ignorance.
There is a large body of dairy ig
norance in the world. 1t seems to be
moving a little, so let us be patient
one with another You know how large
bodies move.
Demonstration.
One man kept a record of his cows
year. One COW yielded a profit Of
$3.50; another, $5t.40.
In Brief.
Cream is cash

Don't mix warm and cola milk.
