methods Of buttermaking is costing
the farmers of this country I have
no statistics later than 1890 at hand,
and they will do we'll enough as an
indication Methods have not chang
ed much since the census Of 1000 was
taken.
I find that in the census year butter
was made on 3,6I7,44o farms The to-
tai amount reported 1,o7I,745,I27
pounds About half Of this amount
was consumed on the farms, and of
course it doesn't make any difference
whether that butter was good or poor.
But the amount sold aggregated $751;
I3o,o26 pounds, for which the farm
ers received in cash or trade $50, 347,-
$50. [ have been figuring this out
and find that it is about 10 cents per
pound. The creameries and butter
factories in the same year reported
their make at 42o, 1865 pounds, for
which was received $84,o70,754, or an
average price Of about 20 cents per
pound. 1t will be noticed that the
factories received almost as much
money for what they made as the
FARMERS .ulQ TOT the larger quantity
they made. The farm butter sold at
an average of four cents per pound
under the price Of creamery butter.
On the amount Of butter the farm
ers sold that year the difference at
four cents per pound was $2o,725, SOL.
That is the price that ignorance cost
the farm butter-makers that year. So
I say that ignorance is one of the
most expensive things we have on the
farm. It will take up long time to
learn everything, it is true, but there
are a few important things that any
one can learn if they will but set
themselves about the task. The
trouble is that we have great many
people in every walk Of life that do
not have an ambition to learn any
thing.
Just now it is easy to acquire dairy
knowledge. There are few depart
ments Of farm work that are receiving
SO much attention from the educators
as the dairy work. A farmer has but
to place himself in touch with our
state educational institutions to be
supplied with I'll kinds Of useful infOr-

We were upon him almost before

before he could bring his revolver to

Ignorance Is Expensive.

This is true in any line of business,
but especially SO when it comes to
butter making. The writer of the fol-
lowing article, from the Farmers
Review, shows clearly that it is cost
ing the dairy farmers of this country
an enormous sum Of money each year
to be ignorant Of the best methods
Of butter making The article is as
follows:
I believe that ignorance is one of
the most expensive things we can
have [ am a butter maker of many
years experience, and the kind of but
ter I make is farm butter. I have to
depend on a private trade to get the
same price for my butter that is paid
for creamery butter. The creamery
buttermaker has only to ship his but
ter to commission merchant or to a
local dealer and he gets his price,
while have to peddle out my butter
from door to door. If I should send
my butter to merchant that did not
know me, and state that it was farm
made butter, he would at once refuse
to pay within several cents as much
as he would pay for the creamery
made article. Why? Because the
butter made on farms is in the
main far below the quality of but
ter made in factories. The public
have long ago discovered that the
average maker of butter on the farm
does not know how to make good
butter. and they have locked the price
accordingly. This ignorance has
proved very expensive to the makers
of butter on the farm
I have just been looking I'D some
statistics on farm-made and factory
made butter for the sake of finding
out how much ignorance Of the best

The Logan Berry.

Has any one in this state ever
tested this fruit? 1t is very highly
praised in some parts of the country.
The Denver Field and Farm printed
an illustration of bunch of the fruit
and then said:
The Logan berry was originated by
Judge J. H. Logan of Santa Cruz,
California, from whom it derives it's
name. This berry is unlike any other
in existence, being a hybrid between
the raspberry and the blackberry.
The fruit is sometimes an inch and
one-quarter lond, dark red, as large
as the largest blackberry and is pro-
duced in immense clusters. 1t par
takes Of the flavor Of both the black
berry and the raspberry-a mild,
pleasant, vinous flavor, delicious and
peculiar to this fruit alone George
c. Roeding Of the Fancher Creek
nurseries at Fresno, California, says
the seers are small, soft and few.
The fruit ripens early, just after
Strawberries and before blackberries
Or raspberries. The vine or cane of
the Logan berry grows entirely un-
like either the blackberry or the rasp-
berry It trails or grows upon the
ground more like a dewberry The
canes are quite large, without thorns,
but have very fine, soft spines with
leaves more like those of the rasp-
berry than blackberry. It is excellent
for the table.

you can buy cane stalks almost as

RESOLUTIONS OF REGRET.
Takoma Council Takes Action Upon
the Death of r + Gilbert

At a special meeting of the town council
of Takoma Park, Nd. held last evening
resolutions expressing regret for the death
of Mr.. Benjamin F. Gilbert were adopted
and ordered placed upon the official records
of the town as a tribute to the memory of
the founder of Takoma Park and it's first
mayor.
The mayor and council have extended to
the members of his family their sympathy,
and have directed that copy of the reso-
lutions be sent to the family of the de-
ceased.
The resolutions set forth that Mr.. Gil
bert, in the days of his vigor, was a man
of tireless energy and always identified
with the spirit of progress. AS the founder
Of Takoma Park, and for many years the
leader in all efforts toward it's improving
ard upbuilding, he labored with commend
able zeal in the accomplishment of civic I'M
dertakings. He was a liberal giver and
spent generously from his private purse
for the good of the public veal. In the
days of reverses and in the later years of
declining health he maintained his deep in
terest in the public affairs of the commu-
nifty which he had created: and it was
matter of personal pleasure, to which he
gave frequent expression, that these last
several years were spent amidst the scenes
of his energetic and younger manhood.

Il wish to lay special stress upon the alb
of running children through the same mill
in lot, with absolutely no real reference
to their individuality. The wave of public

this country is chiefly due to lack OF
proper training, breeding. If you will, in
the formative years of life.
