 Yours respectfully,
 CHAs. L. FOWLER. Nr. Fowler states that he will put upon the assessment roll all the unpatented mines of actual value, such as has been proved by shipments, as in the case of the Worlds Fair mine. Many are asserting that he cannot place val uations upon such properties. When people talk that way the sheriff smiles grimly, and says nothing. All he has to do is to put down the property at what he considers a fair valuation, and let the attorney general and the mine owner Wreste in the courts as to the rest of the proposition.

The JOURNAL is RIGHT.

The Journal, for one, is not going
to try to make out clean case for
the Farmers Union by telling the
world that there are no grafters in
cur beloved order. We regret ex-
ceedingly to say it, but there are some
OF the smoothest, most unprinclpled
scoundrels seeking to work their
gratis upon the Farmers Union that
ever managed to keep out Of jail. And
their scoundrelism appears all the
hlacker when we remember that the
class of people upon whose backs they
are trying to ride is the unsuspecting
class, the trusting class, the work
ing class,t the class that has almot been
ridden to death already. Sometimes

MERCURY MUSINGS.

The opening of the cotton season
of 1906 ought to find the farmers of
the South, and of Texas particularly.
solidly organized and determined to
have fair price for the product Of
their labor. Cotton Is worth 15c per
pound, and If the farmers will stand
together they will surely get it.
And don't forget that the election
of capable county secretary. one
who will always attend promptly and
take real pride IN giving careful,
punctual service. is matter of vital
Importance to success OF any union.
Chronic poverty--except In isolated
individual cases--is due 10 the fact
that the producers receive such a
small shar' OF the wealth which they
create.

the invention of a western man, the
object being to produce a shooting
shirt that is worn outside the trousers.
In making such garments, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, it has
been customary TO attach the patch
pockets to different parts of the gar

not very satisfactory, because it tends
to drag the garment out of shape, but

Second, as to price of dairy products
and net returns to farmers.

You will remember that the state of
Minnesota is called the "bread and butter
state" 1t started out in the production
of wheat, and until ID years ago there
was little dairying and no statistics; when
you come to realize that in 10 years the
increase to the farmer in dairying has
been nearly 400 per cent in the total re-
turns, while the increased earnings per
COW has been over 200 per cent. and the
increased price of milk fat has been over
200 per cent. it becomes an interesting
study. You will also notice that while
the number of cows has increased nearly
200 per cent, that there has been cor
responding increase in the number Of
pounds of milk per COW per annum;
likewise a corresponding increase in the
amount of fat, per COW per annum. l
would say, however, that the letter that
came with this report says that l"will
notice that he does not call the men in
this report dairymen, as there are only
about 80 dairymen in the state, and the
others are farmers inferring that il they
understood the process Of milk produc-
ton as well as they do the process of
wheat production the report would un-
doubtedly be much better. | regret that
for comparative purposes the state of
Michigan has no such report as this.
Also want to say that there is no reason
why Michigan cannot do as well as
Minnesota. We have all of the natural
advantages of either Minnesota or Wiscon-
sin. The Wisconsin report that | hold
is not as complete as this, but it shows
that the income from all sources of dairy
ing in 1902 was S55,000000, and the
increase since then has been very large.
| wish old Michigan would take the place,
for the good of the farmers and farms
that it ought to in the dairy matters;
and believe me that when it does there
will be no cause to complain.
Our wheat and corn land needs the
fertility of the dairy as we'll as our fruit
land, and | sometimes think that if the
farmers do not turn their attention to
dairying, succeeding generations are liable
to call US robbers; that is, soil robbers.
am very much afraid that conditions
in this country ID years from now will be
similar to that of New Hampshire, Yer
mont and other New England states
where the soil has been depleted to that
extent that it is cheaper to abandon the
farm and go west where there are other
lands to ruin.
The state dairymen s association meets
at jackson, January 81 and February
and ., and at that meeting | hope there
can be some means devised to encourage
dairying more than there has been in the
past, and encourage it by state work
rather than by having Chicago promoters
come into our state and build up cream
cries, charging 81 400 toS2,OOO more than
they ought TO.
Believe me that am interested in this
work, and shall hope that Michigan can
take her stand in the near future. Hop
ing this may be of some service in bring
ing about the desired results, | remain
