OF June, 1853, Mr.. Lincoln was
buslly engaged In writing n
speech He wrote II In scraps
"A sentence now and another again.
II was originally scattered over mum
berless little pieces OF paper and was
only reduced TO consecutive sheets and
connected form as the hour for its de
livery drew near. II was TO be spoken
on or about the 10th, when the Re.
publican state. convention would as
semble at Springfield and. as Mr.. Lin.
coin anticipated, would nominate him
for senator In congress.
About the 18th Of June Mr. Dubois,
the state auditor, entered the office OF
Lincoln & Herndon and found Mr.. Lin
coin deeply intent upon the speech.
Hello, Lincoln. What are you writ
lngf" said the auditor. Come, tell
me-" II shaD't tell you" said Lin
coin. 1T is none OF your business, Mr..
Auditor. Come, sit down, aud let's be

ing, with delegates and alternates,
about thousand men, met and pass
ed unanimously the following resolu-
ton.
THAT Hon, Abraham Lincoln Is our
first and only choice for United States
senator TO oil the vacancy about 10 be
created by the expiration OF Mr., Dong
las term OF office"
That evening Mr.. Lincoln came ear
ly TO his office, along with Mr.. Hern
don. Having carefully locked the door
and put the key IN his own pocket. he
pulled from his bosom the manuscript
OF his speech aud proceeded 10 read 1t
slowly ana distinctly. When he had
finished the first paragraph he came
10 dead pause and turned to his as

STORAGE OF BUTTER.
Stated That Large Amount Is Being
Packed In Cold Storage.

IL Is reported that the amount OF
butter being stored for next winter is
very large. The fine pastures this
spring and summer have made It pos
sible to produce an enormous amount
OF milk, and the creamories have been
able to secure an unusually largo
amount Of this. The surplus butter,
instead Of going onto the retail mar
ket TO depress the prices, has gone
into the storage houses.
II is said that on the first of June
last year the total amount Of butter
in the cold storage houses Of the
country amounted to 100000 pounds,
while this year the amount on the
same date was 100000 pounds. This
is good start and indicates that the
market is well under control.
IL also indicates, says Farmers Re
view, that there is great deal
of money in the hands of the
men that are storing this butter.
Last summer when the tightness of
the money market began to be felt,
much of the butter being held had to
be thrown on the market to get out
OF 1t the value tied up in It, That
the buyers Of butter are able to store
and hold such large quantities indi-
Gates a decided improvement I'm the
commercial conditions. The farmers
are in every way benefited by the
state of affairs, as it prevents the de.
moralization Of the butter market,
which would affect the farmers both
through the creamerles and through
the farm butter trade.

ADVANTAGES OF FALL UaLvss.

There Is every good reason why
calves should ordinarily be dropped in
the fall. September and October are
the best months. In the first place It
brings the biggest production OF milk

are highest Then. too, IL IS better
for the calf TO go through the cold
months of his first winter unweaned.
