ders see the point and go the boys
one better? When the good Lord
takes the old time, travelling in-the
rut farmers to heaven, the rising
corn club youngsters well set the
pace i'm raising things that fill larders
and the cribs at home-overflow
too-and that too ON less land and
ait less expense. The rising youths
are sure to bring to pass the much
desired improved methods of farm
ing, exceeding their elders, ais that
the youngsters will go above them i'm
education. Revolutions with bettering
tendencies never go backward God
designs that the material affairs OF
this mundane sphere shall advance
, to higher plane, He will bring this
to pass df He had to cut out of the
way the obstructing obstacles. So
let's stand frow under.
Peary need not try to cram into my
brain the idea that ann uncivih2ed
and untutored savage like am Eskimo
boy cam trace out places, spots, paths,
ice and waters ON prepared chart,
when many time i'm my life have
1 tried to EXPLAIN or illustrate by
simple diagrams and other drawings
OF straight or crooked lines, some
important fact, to ctvdhzed, refined
and fairly educated whihe boys and
girls, mem and women, and yet these
apparently capable minds frequently
fail TO comprehend the ideas intended
to be impaired to their understanding
I'm that way. Having the two boys
and the daddy of one of them, to
all trace out exactly the same hines,
and to the same conclusions sounds
like a fixed UP job against Cook.

such a move will increase in interest,

this association God speed.

delighted with his address.
What lis the matter with Rankin
county farmers that they can't raise
ais fine staple cotton as the Madison
county farmers? Two bales of their
cotton sold recently, as reported, in
New Orleans for 21cts. and 81 IL cts.
respectively, Farmers who do not
read the papers are way back and
sitting down, when nice things are
being done around them, and paying
we'll too. Ordinarily good cotton
brings fifty to fifty-five dollars a
bale. But, here are two bales raised
from staple seed, selling for 800 and
$105,-fifty and fifty dollars more
Can't am industrious Rankin county
cotton raiser spare ten dollars more
of expense i'm raising each bale ON
his place to reap the reward of TWEEN
ty to fifty dollars more?
We would remind amy boil weevn
infested farmer that he should not
consider it degrading to his years of
experience i'm raising cotton such ex-
peasence as it is-to follow the adj
vice of government experts to burn
his scotton stalks, by November the

Tells of Stephenson Fund.

State Fire Marshal T. M. Purtell and
three game wardens appeared before
the investigating committee and told
how they disposed of various amounts
of Stephenson's campaign fund, but
none of the witnesses knew of any of
the money handled being used in an
unlawful manner
Senator Morris, in reply to a ques
tion said he thought it all right for a
candidate for the legislature to spend
his own money in campaign in behalf
of a senatorial candidate and that he
should follow the instructions of the
primaries unless there is evidence of
foul play in the primaries. In that
case he must use his own discretion.
H. "A. Bowman, game warden of
Waukesha county, acknowledged re-
ceiving $3.50 of the Stephenson fund
from Game Warden Stone. He was not
told where to use it, only that it was
for Stephensons campaign. He gave
$3.50 to Marinette hotel man because
he knew he was a Stephenson man and
would do good work if he had some
money.

TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER.
You Need Good Cows and Then They
Must Be Handled Right.

Good cows, proper feed and drink,
and thorough care of the dairy come
before the management of milk in the
production of butter. But after the
milk is produced absolute cleanliness
of material and utensils is essential,
writes New York correspondent of
the Orange Judd Farmer. I make
only about IL pounds of butter
week, put up in two, five and eight
pound jars, to be sold direct to pri-
vate customers. For the butter of
ordinary cattle l use about two tea
spoonfuls of commercial coloring to
100 pounds, but for that of Jerseys
less, as their butter is more highly
co1ored. Butter should be worked
until all the water is well out, but no
more. The old rule of one ounce of
salt to the pound may be all right for
large packages to put in storage, but
for small packages for the consumers,
quarters of an ounce is better.
My experience and close observation
of half century convinces me that
among farmers much butter is spoiled
by keeping the cream too long and by
overworking and oversalting.

No Increased Expense.

Assemblyman Frank HamTniil OF
Spooner has gathered statistics in sup
port of his bill making it unlawful
for any railroad company or other per-
sons in the employ of the road to
transmit to any conductor or en-
gineer any order or instruction to
meet or pass train at any other
place than where telegraph operator
is stationed.
Mr.. Hammill asserts that the sta
tistics show that for a period of four
and one-half years 118 people were
killed, 544 injured, and $369,525 worth
of property was destroyed, because en-
gineers and conductors forgot their
meeting places, and were not reminded
of them by the presence of operators
at these points.
The railroads object to the bill on
the grounds of additional expense, but
the Spooner assemblyman says that it
would not be necessary to have many
additional operators, for the trans
portation companies could have their
trains pass one another at the near
est station. This would result in
brief delay but even that, he claims,
would be far better than to take the
risk of killing off the passengers by a
possible collision.

Several on Stand Friday.

The senatorial primary investiga-
ton committee Friday unanimously de-
cided to certify the failure of L. H.
Stevens of Lancaster to obey the sub
poena of the committee to the proper
house of the legislature that he may be
tried for contempt. Deputy Game
Warden e. w. Tutle of Oconomowoc
explained as to the distribution of 5000
OF the Stephenson Fund. Several
amounts aggregating between $50 and
SIS were paid to various men known
to favor Stephenson's candidacy. Asked
as to why he gave money to men
known to be for Stephenson, he re-
Piled ITO get them to work harder"
Tutle said he contributed 500 to the
Republican campaign fund, the amount
being handed to Deputy Game Warden
Bowman. He did not remember Wheth-
er it was before or after he received
the Stephenson money.
E. J. Rogers of Dodgeville used
$581.97 Of Stephenson money in Iowa
county. Payments to number Of poll
workers, Editor z. M. Reese of Dodge
vile, travelling expenses and salaries
went to make up the total. Mr..
Reese is also bank president. On the
stand he said he looked upon the trans
action to work for Stephenson "as
business proposition" He might have
worked for Hatton if he had been Of
fered five dollars per day by him in adj
vance of the Stephenson arrangement.
A. e. Storrs, deputy game warden of
Fennimore, said he received ten dol
lars from Stephenson's fund. Stone
testified he paid Storrs $40. Storrs
was not a Stephenson man, SO he
turned the work of circulating nomina-
ton papers over to William Decker,
and paid him.
Storrs was in previous campaign,
by order of his then superior, Chief
Warden Henry Overlook.
