The rowanda Review says that
tor every marriage ceremony per
formed in Bradford county there is II
petition for divorce. 1t ascribes
this astonishing conditions Of Affairs
to the fact that 3 large percentage Of
the residents of the county go across
the line into New York state to have
their marriages performed. 1t fur
thaf says that nlne-tenths of the IT-
titions for divorce state that the par.
ties interested were married outside

More than 3s, 900 rural routes are

| The revenues of the Common
wealth for the fiscal year ended last
Saturday were s26, 425, ,S66, exclusive
Of several hundtcd thousand dollars
received from. the sale of govern
ment bonds andn properly belong
ing to the revenue account.
This income exceeds the great fig
ure Of the previous year by $500, ,942
and would have been still larger had
there not been notable falling off
in the past few weeks in the amount
received rs bonus on charters. This
was doubtless due to the money
stringency throughout the country,
and shows pretty clearly how quick
ly the revenues of the state nav be
affected, up or down, hy general
business conditions. The big receipts
for the past two years are largely ac-
counted for blythe general prosper
ity.
The fact that the receipt, were
larger and the payments less last
year than for the previous year has
considerably increased the balance
in the Treasury. Including the sink
ing fund, 1t is now sl2, $50, 100, near-
ly 81, ,1tO, 900 ,pore than it was year
ago. 1t is less now by $4,000, 900,
however, than it was at the close Of
the fiscal years of 1903 and 1904, but
the eXtravagent payments on the
capitol will account for the differ
ence. Within the present fiscal
year the increased appropriations of
the legislature at It's last session will
eat into the balance some, while the
large revenues Of the past two years
can harlly be looked for {, offset
payments.

The supreme court has affirmed tue
decision in the case Of Charles Nc
COmmins, plaintiff in error, versus
state of Wisconsin, defendant in err
rOr. The case was watched with much
interest as it is one of the first, if not
the first, automobile case to come
before the supreme court. 1t was ap-
pealed from the circuit court Of JEFF
ferson county. McCOmmins was
found guilty of not stopping his ma
chine when a signal of distress was
given. Henry Moyse, an old man,
with his son, was driving along a mar
row road June 30, 1906, seated on d
board on top of a hay rack. On
meeting the auto his horses became
frightened and tipped the wagon with
the farmer, the boy and bull into
the ditch. The autoists never stopped
to give aid. McCOmmins was found
guilty and fined 800 and costs. APP
peal was made on alleged errors in
the instructions of the court to the
jury, the question being asked if the
spirit and "intent" of the law were
violated. This criminal suit is fol-
lowed by suit for damages.

the remarkable total of 17,297.51
of 4.S4 per cent of butter fat, an
equivalent of S3621 pounds of butter
fat In the three years in which she
has been tested, in two of which she
was but a heifer, she gave 3S,S1392
pounds Of milk and 1,914.1 pounds of
butter fat, or an average of 12,92797
pounds Of milk and 63S pounds of but
ter fat for each of the three years, and
considerably more than 5000 quarts of
very rich milk for the three years, in
Guiding the two years heifer record.
The feed Of the past years test may
be inferred from the ration for Febru-
ary. which was for each day: Three
pounds mixed wheat feed, three and
three-quarter pounds gluten, three and
three-quarter pounds oilmeal, three
pounds middlings, three and three
quarter pounds oats, with about
twenty-five pounds of silage and q
varying amount of mixed hay, carrots
and turnips. The quantity of feed was
about the same from month to month,
but the kinds of grain were varied.
In the summer she had access to good
pasturage in addition to the grain
ration.

The buttermaker who takes enough
pride in her product to stamp it neatly,
wrapping each print in paper prepared
for the purpose, usually has an article
worthy Of the care.
A tin pail is a very poor receptacle
for taking butter to market in hot
weather. A wooden pail or basket
does not draw the heat.
How about the reputation of the best
buttermaker if her goods go to the
grocery and are placed in contact with
the odOr Of fish, flesh and fowl? If she
can sell direct to regular patrons, I'm
just reflections on her product from
this cause are avoided.
If one has too little cream for churn-
ing, it may be converted into butter Of
excellent quality by beating in a bowl
or crock. Use a fork, spoon or stirring
stick and keep it very cold. If there
is milk in it, the process is too slow to
be profitable, but with pure cream it is
comparatively little work, and there is
no washing Of churn afterward.
If near a trolley line, cream can be
sent to the city market and realize
more profit than butter in the old way
and with less work.-Bessie L. Putnam

Experiments at the Oklahoma Agrf-
cultural college illustrate what can be
done in the dairy business in any Sec
ton where a sufficient number of cows
are kept to warrant starting a factory
and when the farmers will stand by
the factory and have confidence in its
management and see to it that it is
managed successfully.
The patrons have always been will
ing to deliver sweet cream to the
creamery, and to this one fact is at
tributed much of the success. The but
ter has been placed on nearly every
market in the south and west, and 1t
has never been wanting a buyer 1t
sells at the top of the market, which
enables the creamery to pay a premi-
um for the cream received. Herein
lie the hopes of the successful deyel-
opment of dairying in Oklahoma. The
price that the farmers receive for their
cream depends upon the quality of the
product of the factory, ana it should
be the highest aim of the cream pro-
ducers whether they patrOnize an in
dependent creamery, a centralized
creamery or are shareholders in Il CO.
operative creamery to deliver to the
creamery the best cream that they can
possibly produce.
Milk and cream take up Odors and
taints from unclean vessels in which
they may be placed or from any sub
stance emitting tan odor. They are
easily spoiled and made unwholesome
for food if any dirt or filth gets into
them, or If they are covered up tight
so that fresh air does not get into
them to remove the odOrs and gases
which may be forming in them.

A barrel or box churn is the best for
the home dairy. When the cream is
ripe, scald the churn and cool to the
temperature of the cream, which should
be from Sc degrees to 81 degrees, ac-
cording to conditions If color is used
it should be put in the cream when it
SO Is to get the greatest conclusion
possible. The butter should come in
from thirty to fifty minutes. After the
butter comes draw the buttermilk,
