Woodbury. Beautiful.

DR.. II. II. Clark suggested in Council
the purchase of the Carter and Green prop
critics on Broad street to enlarge the school
site. A thought struck me at the time,
Why not purchase the block between New
street and the County Buildings? The
cost would be very little more than the two
Broad street properties. That would place
a public square in the center of our
beautiful city that would be monument
to the wisdom of our City Fathers and the
Board Of Education. Picture this in your
mind, on the North side a s60,0o0 high
school, on the East the county buildings, on
the West the new Episcopal Church, and on
the South Friendship fire house and the
new City HALL /, for one interested. will
sign an agreement for the city to select
Commissioners to place the valuation on
the properties in shat block.

In that Corrupt and Contented" city
across the Delaware the papers profess sur
prise that the police have been found to be
in league with organized bands of thieves
to pIunder business houses on their several
beats. There is nothing surprising in this
latest revelation, Generally the police are
of lower order of morality than those who
appoint them, and if those higher up rob
the Treasury, and those just above rob the
police Of their salaries, the police have their
remedy for looted income in robbing those
they are expected to guard, Philadelphia,
ought to begin by cleaning out the Wares,
MoNichols, Durhams. ct ais, and stopping
robbery of the police, then the police would
have chance to be honest.
The people Of Philadelphia are paying
the penalty Of their own lack Of yigialanoe.

DAIRY NOTES.

Low wages and frequent changes of
butter makers will ruin any creamery.
Plan on attending the state dairy
convention in your state. 1t will do
you whole lot of good!
Do your cows like to see you come
around? If So then they like the
treatment they are getting
Cool cream Immediately after
separating, no matter what dispost-
tion you intend to make of it.
Make preparations to attend the
Mortified convention in January II
you are a Minnesota dairyman,
Don't neglect to keep the cows
clean and to strain the milk, just be-
cause it is going to the creamery
If our cows were as poor COWS az
their owners are dairymen the an
nual production per COW would be a
great deal lower than it is.
It's a great deal easier to keep the
COW up to her flow of milk by prop
er feeding than to bring her back
again If the Cow Is allowed to drop off.
Don't feed lot OF high-priced corn
to cows and expect them to return q
profit. Corn is not milk making
food, and should only be used in bal
ancing a ration.
IL you have ten cows and you know
five of them are scrubs. sell them
and devote your attention to the five
good ones. There's more money In run
ming the business that way.
