COST OF BUTTER

Statistics carefully complied from all OF
the Iowa creameries show that the aver
age cost for manufacturing butter is about
four cents a pound in creamery that
makes 10000 pounds of butter in a year
one and three-fourths cents in a cream
cry that makes 100000; and about one
and one-half cents where the creamery
makes 100000 pounds. This means that
other things being equal the farmer who
patronizes the large creamery will receive
about two cents per pound more for his
butter than the patron of the small cream
dnces about 165 pounds ca putter In
year her annual earning capacity is 500
more where her product is taken to large
creamery than when taken to Q small ons.
The above figures are suggestive In that
they show the error of starting creamerfes
in localities where there is a shortage OF
cows. .f

FIGURES 1T

Farming is a profession. and only, when
II is so regarded will it be accorded IL i
proper place among honorable avocations.
The ideal farmer Is made out of the child
of the farm; he has been developed by edu-
cation and science ThODformer he secures
from the common schools and the latter at
the agricultural college or from farm jour

One of the most potent factors in advanc-
ing agriculture is the fair. No other insti-
tuition offens such opportunities to the farm

is there instructed In his special line OF
work. He is stimulated and encouraged to
give his best efforts to the betterment of
his products. He is made a better farmer.
A straw stack is a fine thing for the
farm animals to use as q sort Of winter
house these cold days, but see that they
are properly housed at night.
The trouble with many of us is. we lack
pride in our works and the reason do rot
Is because our work Is done in a careless
slipshod manner. 1t is a poor rule that
will not work both ways: therefore. to be

BLAME THEMSELVES.

Socialists object to being called an
archists. We don't blame them for
this, but just as long as the socialists
of the United States are represented
by such papers as the Appeal to
Reason of Girard, Kansas, and the Rip
Saw of St. Louis, Mo-, and other equal
ly filthy and anarchistic sheets, they
must not complain if others, reading
these papers, (mouth-peice of social
ism, accept their teachings as the
real article, and fail to distinguish be-
tween the decent socialist and the an
archistic socialist. From week to
week the Appeal and the Rip-Saw do
nothing but print the most nauseating
rot that ever passed through the mails
of this nation. They resort to false
hood, and stoop to the lowest depths of
contemplate journalism in order to
feed their readers upon the kind of
stuff the average socialist wants. We
say the average, because we know
socialists here in Troy who do not
come under this class, and who do not
only disapprove, but openly condemn
the policy of these socialist papers.
But we cannot judge socialism by the
exception. That party must stand by
the teaching of those who profess to be
leaders, and who actually do dictate
the policy of socialism in America.
Socialism must be judged by Debs,
who threatens to destroy the govern
ment because certain members of that
party happen to be arrested. Social
ism must be judged by Edward Boice,
who preached anarchy, and advised his
followers to arm themselves and rebel
against law and order. Socialism must
be judged by the teachings of the
Appeal to Reason and the Rp-Saw.
We say it must be judged by these
standards for the very plain reason that
these are the men and papers that rep
resent American socialism. These
are those whom American socialists
have chosen as their leaders, and whom
they blindly follow. If socialists OBJ
ject to being called anarchists let them
cease contributing to the support of
anarchists, and quit following anarchist
ic teachers.

BELIEVE IN POLIGAMY.


The public has right to accept the
Mormon church at its word when a
representative of that church, in the
presence of the head of the church,
proclaims their faith in the original
doctrine of poligamy. And just as
long as the Mormons hold that pros
titution is a religious duty they are
utterly unworthy of citizenship, and
unworthy the benefits OF citizenship.
These teachers of doctrine that the
entire civilized world has condemned,
and which is crime in this country,
ought to be treated as criminals just
as long as they continue to haunt their
immortality in the face of the state. II
is time for the national government to
take hand and give Mormonism to
understand that no church is above the
law. 1t is time for American citizens,
those who believe in decency and the
purity and sanctity of American homes,
to say to the Mormon church that ii
must obey the law. And having said
so proceed at once to enforce the de-
mands of decency. Prostitution, sim
ply because it is taught and practiced
in the name of Mormonism, looses
none of its vileness, and becomes none
the less Objectionable.
