ROOT OF ALL HUMAN SUCCESS
Struggle Of the Race to Get Away
from Poverty.

The struggle to get away from pow
erty has been great man-developer.
Had every human being been born
with silver spoon in his mouth-had
there been no necessity put upon him
to work--the race would still be in
its infancy. Civilization owes more
to the perpetual struggle OF man to
get away from poverty than to any.
thing else. 1t Is not poverty itself.
but the effort 10 get away from 1t,
that makes the man. We are SO con-
stituted that We make our greatest
efforts and do our best work while
struggling to attain that which the
heart longs for. Power is the result
OF force overcome. The giant is made
strong in wrestling with difhculties
1t is impossible for one who does not
have to struggle and TO fight obstacles
to develop fiber or stamina. ITO live
without trial Is to die but half man."

Rest is absolutely necessary TO
everyone. There must be periods OF
relaxation-moments when the mind
and soul and body gather force for
continued activity. The thing one
should guard against is taking rest at
the wrong moment. Herein lies most
o. the success of life-rcsting dt the
right time.
Great accomplishments have been
given up because one wanted to take
rest at the wrong minute. After a
large duty is done large relaxation
should follow.

How to Keep the Milk Sweet.

w. J. Frazer, of the Illinois expert
ment station, gives these suggestions
in regard to securing milk from your
COWS that will keep sweet for a re-
markable length of time:
Keep the COWS clean, and do not
compel or allow them to wade and
live in filth. This means clean yards
and clean well-bedded stalls. Every
thing short of this is absolutely repul-
sive and should not be tolerated any
longer in a civilized community.
Stop the filthy habit known as wet
ting the teats, by which is meant the
drawing of a little milk into the hand
with which to wet the teats before
and during milking, leaving the excess
of filthy milk in the pail.
Wash all utensils clean by first using
lukewarm water, afterwards washing
in warm water, and rinsing in an
abundance of boiling water, then ex-
posing until the next using in direct
sunlight which is a good sterilizer.
Use milk-pails, cans, ETC., for no
other purpose but to hold milk
Keep out of these utensils all sour
or tainted milk, even after they have
been used for the day. Using them
for this purpose at any time infects
them so badly that no amount of wash
ing is likely to clean them. Bacteria

Vetch SiIaue and Vetch Hay.

the hay is pretty coarse.

Establishing New Creameries.

Written for The Ranch by r. e. Elllott
State College, Pullman
I am not so sure that the creamery
promoter is a blessing. 1t is true that
he has been instrumental in awaken
ing an increased interest in dairylng
needed to attract the attention OF the
farmers but too often this interest
has been built up on wrong OASIS
and has proved to be short lived.
During the past two years the
creamery promoter has invaded the
northwest, has organized stock com.
panies, constructed buildings, hlled
these with machinery, not always OF
the best manufacture nor the most i'm
proved patterns, and then handed over
the fully equipped plant to COM
pany of ordinary farmers, possessing
but slight knowledge of the dairy busl-
ness. The result has not always been
followed by success and the reasons
are many and easily found.
Frequently the cause rests with the
owners and patrons. They have un-
dertaKen to start new enterprise
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-09-01

which requires unusual intelligence
and business ability. 1t is a man
ufacturing enterprise which has most
intimate and close dependence on
it's source and supply of raw material
Because of the perishable nature of
this raw product the factory, as it
may be called, must be located i'm
mediately in the area of supply. This
brings the manufacturer and the pro-
Queer in close touch and, indeed the
latter is frequently the owner and
proprietor to whom the nominal man.
ager and operator must be subject
With such a complication of interests
it is not surprising that criticism
and difficulties arise which sometimes
cause bad faith and loss of interest in
the enterprise.
Frequently the establishment of the
creamery has not been accomplished
without friction among those forming
the company and any such irritation is
easily kept alive and active. A chief
cause of trouble, however, is to be
found in the plant itself. Creamery
promoters are in the field to sell
creameries. The usual price is not far
from five thousand dollars. To make
showing for the expenditure Of that
amount of money an elaborate build
ing must be filled with an unnecessary
collection of machinery and, to make
the new owners happy, they are as
sured that they are supplied with
plant complete" in every detail. That
word complete goes far towards in
spring the new owner with a feeling
of complacency, but this does not
always happen.
Most of these creameries are coop
erative, at least to the extent of being
Joint stock companies. In the hands
of even the most ordinary manager
and buttermaker it soon becomes ap-
parent that experience would have
made different selections of machin-
cry, would have planned the building
differently and in many ways would
have modified the plant for which they
have paid so eXtravagantly Following
this discovery the owners are very apt
to find many a cause for disagreement
and in the long run disaster and dis
organization result. Had those who so
earnestly desired to found creamery
for their own benefit gone slower in
| the establishment of their plant and
then expanded as occasion demanded
the business would have grown and
taken care of itself.
| I have had some experience with the
creamery promoter both east and west.
Sleek of appearance, smooth of vocab-
ulay, plausible in persuasion, he sue
ceeds where an ordinary organizer
would fail, Many a creamery has been
launched by his efforts and some have
in the end often after months or
years of tribulation, turned out sue
cessfully. The large majority, how
ever, have resulted in failure and the
country is dotted all over with such
buildings and equipment which no
longer serve the purpose for which
they were purchased. Where such
failures have resulted the dairy in
dustry has usually received a back
set from which in most instances it
has neven been able to recover. The
creamery promoter may be a neces-
sary evil, and no doubt he has done
much good as an advocate of dairying,
but it appears to me that there ought
to be and surely is better way OF
building up the business.

beast was fully twelve years old. So
he decided to go back and tell the

the middle of June. He finally did
go and told his man what he thought
