scroll and become history.
AS is its custom the Monroe City
Democrat from its files reproduces
the shipments of the year. some
poultry sales made by the thrifty
wives Of the farmers and the i'm
provements made in this prosperous
country in the form of buildings,
street crossings and granitoid walks.
The above report is perfectly re-
liable, because we KNOW the
amount of labor it took each week
to secure it and the source from
which we received it.
By the way, the Democrat is the
only newspaper in North Missouri
and possibly in the state, that gets
out an annual report of the same
nature.
And yet the above tables do not
tell the whole story, for they only
speak of shipments and sales.
During the year there has been
thirty-eight (3S) residences built,
seventy-two (72) rooms added to
residences, thirty-one SD barns
built, fourteen houses remodled,
thirty seven (37) houses reroofed,

There is first of all man paid by
the department, whose sole business

dairying pays.
F.. L. Sanders, one of our thrifty
farmers, living nine miles north Of
Kenmare, was in town Saturday and
called tostellsus what he had done in
the dairy. business L during thebyear
1908. At the beginning of the year
Mr.. Sanders commenced keeping ac-
counts of his dairy business, said
accounts commencing January LIST,
and closing DeceinbeF 81 1908.
During this time he MIXED from
four to eleven cows, there being but
about two months, that eleven were
giving milk. However in these twelve
months he sold 1891 pounds of butter,

During all this time they used an
average Of five bounds Of butter per
week tor their home use, besides hav-
ing all the milk they wanted to use
in the house. and to feed calves, hogs,
chickens, etc.
BY this it will be seen that these
people have made their cows pay, and
Mr.. Sanders says he believes when
the creamery begipssto run and he
delivers his milk TO- that y institution,
he can take care Of more cows and
have more time to devote to the bust
