Can 1t be Depended On?

What kind of butter do you make?
We know, positively, that good butter
can be made in Florida, during the hot
test part of summer, without ice. To
have it firm and solid the COW must
be fed a small quantity of cottonseed
meal every day. A correspondent of
the Ohio Farmer writes about but
ter as follows:
Not long ago 1 was in a grocery
store which was conducted by a man
who did not know me. The subject of
butter came up. L asked if he had
any dairy butter put up in small
packages. He replied, mo, we do not
buy butter of the farmers" L asked
the reason why. Because we can not

get butter from the farmers that we
can depend upOnr'
No butter from the farm that can be
depended on! l have always had an
idea that the best butter i'm the world
is made on the farm, in the private
dairy l know of such butter that will
fairly melt in your mouth. 1 have
made lots of it myself. 1 know of 9th
ers who have been making it for years
and are making it today. But 1 did
not enter into any argument with this
man. 1 simply went out and thought
it over. This is the way it presents it
self to me now:
Some day or other this grocer has
bought a package or two of butter of
some farmer who had little pride in
his business. Perhaps he had poor
conveniences for making butter. Per-
haps he did not know how to make
good butter. Some men do not. We
must admit that. And the customers
found fault with that butter when it
was retailed from the store. That is
way they have of doing when they
pay good money and get bad butter I'm
return. The next time the grocer was
a little more careful, but he had the
same luck with that farmers butter.
1t did not go well with buckwheat
pancakes and folks complained about
it, Then he "swOre off, on farmers
butter, and fell back on that furnished
by the creameries.
That being the case, when you and
l took our butter to that dealer we
were met with a frown and stereo-
typed, 81 get all the butter need from
the creameries. 1 can depend upon
that" The fact is. every man i'm the
country who makes butter must suf-
fer for the faults of the man who
makes poor butter. That is. we are
rated down to the standard he has
set for us. 1t is not right We all
know that. But such is the fact
Does it not seem as if the man who
sets the pace for all his fellow farm
ers would make up his mind that he
will from this time on make butter
which the world can buy anywhere
and use without a word of fault? 1t
is a fact that most farmers do make
good butter now We all ought to do
so. Let's try it, fellow farmers. Let's
make it a rule never to offer a single
pound of poor butter to any one We
can do better than we do. Let's do it,
1t will pay us. 1t will help all the rest
of the farmers of the country.

Soil

Impoverished soil, like impOv-
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. 1t may be you
need a tonic, but more likely you
need a concentrated fat food.
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.

is larger than that of any other fruit
The following is the article men
toned:
PecanS have quite number OF
points to recommend them to the sex
Women love the beautiful, and there
are few things that add more to the
attractiveness of a place than shapely
and stately trees. No one who has
even a single tree, will dispute The
ever seen a well-kept pecan grove, o.
fact that it ranks the equal of any Of
the forest kings in this respect.
The pecan tree seems to like com
pany. At least there is no more con
genial place for it than about the yard:
and gardens of our homes, convenient
alike for what it is to receive from
the home and what it is to give il
return. Here it can most readily re
ceive the attention of the mistress Of
the house.
Again the pecan tree cOmmends it
self to women in that it is a strong
vigorous grower, and is free from dis
ease as any of our forest trees, cOnSe
quently needing little time or atten
ton.
There are few articles that enter in
to a large number of dainties, thai
only women know how to prepare
than the pecan. When they are grown
at home, and are had for the gather
ing, they can much more frequently
be used in this way. And there is a
double pleasure that comes when the
mistress of the house can point to the
e.. Of th,f CHI that
enter into the delicacies she sets be
fore her family and guests.
Variety is the spice of life, as much
so at the table as anywhere; and two
or three pounds of pecans stored away
in the pantry help to vary the bill OF
fare from day to day. If every pound
is quickly felt, but if grown at home
at minimum of cost and trouble
they can frequently be enjoyed.
The healthfulness of pecans as an
article of food is beyond question
This, i'm itself, is enough to commend
them to every thoughtful mother and
wife. They may be eaten either raw
or cooked, and are ready at a moments
notice to be used.
Men grow pecans for profit. l have
yet to meet that woman who does not
like to hear the jingle of the coins as
well as does the sterner sex. A half
dozen or dozen pecan trees growing
about the premises will furnish all
the nuts a family will consume in a
twelve month, and still leave scores
of pounds to replenish the pin money
of the mistress. 1 know one woman
who, from one tree less than twenty
years old, growing in her back yard,
sells about $500 worth of nuts each
year, and still leaves for the little
ones many a nut to crack" What
better or nObler bequest can woman
leave to her decendents than a dozen
or an hundred pecan trees. They will
bles her pOsterity long after all other
requests have dwindled into nothing
ness.
Walking with friend in a neighbOr-
ing town, he pointed out stately oak
which he greatly priced from the fact
that it was planted by his father when
a young man. The oak was valuable
only for it's beauty. A pecan tree, set
at the same time, would have been
as beautiful, and, in addition, would
have yielded from two hundred to
three hundred pounds of nuts annual
ly. 1t is good plan to combine beau
ty and utility.

q B. stickney Of the Chicago Great
Western railroad, by a long state
.ment regarding the making and pub
fishing of railway rates which he filed
with the interstate commerce commits
sion today, exploded a bomb in the
railway camp. Mr.. Stickney fatty
charged that most Of the rate schedules
which have been issued in the past,
and most Of those which are in effect
now, are illegal. He alleged that they
are at present and will continue to be,
unless unified and simplifed, cover
for the payment of enormous rebates
to big shippers in the form of refunds
for overcharges.
The only way permanent and sub
stantial reform can be effected, he con-
tends, is for the commission to compel
the roads to adopt a simple and uniform
method Of making and publishing
schedules, and. to require them to re-
publish their schedules entire every
time rate is changed just as time
tables are published entire when the
time Of a train, is changed.
Billion in Rebates.
/ If this were done, he says, all the
rates in effect on an average railroad
could be printed in the most good
sized volumes, any person of average
intelligence could ascertain what tn,

points was, 80 per cent Of the rat

it easy for the insurgent commander, by

twelve miles from, the capital.
Between them Guerra, Castillo and
Asbert have over 5000 men. The gov
eminent force in Havana numbers
about 5000 exclusive Of policemen and

W. ONDON, Sept. 16.-The correspond

l&< company. at St. Petersburg an
nounces the death in st. Petersburg
last night Of General Trepoff, military !
commander of the imperial palace, vir-
tual military dictator Of Russia, and
the man upon whom the car depended
to protect him from assassination.
General Trepoff had been i'll for some
time and several weeks ago was COM
PEELED to give up his duties as COM
mandant Of the palace, owing to
general breakdown. An apoplectic
stroke was the final cause Of his death.
Trepoff rose to a position where he
exercised more power than any man
in the empire. To him the czar had
entrusted his personal welfare and he
relied upon Trepoff absolutely. He was
practically above ministers and the
law, pursuing any course he determined
upon, unmindful whether it conaicted
or not with established laws or DEGREES
of the cabinet members. he virtually
ruled Russia and he ruled with fist
of iron.
Most Hated Man.
Trepoff for years had held the dis
tinction of being the most hated mar
in all Russia. A score of times at
tenlpts have been made to assassinatt
him, but each time Trepoff has escaped
unframed, to see his assailant disposed
of in that mysterious manner for whlc]
the Russian government is noted.
On March 81, 1902, Trepoff made hi
declaration that he led charmed life
That day he stood on the Threshold o
