The state council OF Knights Of

Tuesday last, paid a deserved tribute
to capable and conscientious officer

is the efficient cashier of the Bank of
Donaldsonville and past grand knight
of the local K. of G. council, has
served as treasurer of the state or

Cows Pay Kenmare Farmer

The following clipping from the

lot of theory as to whether or not
dairying pays:
His Cows Pay
F. l. Sanders, one of our thrifty
farmers, living nine miles north of
Kenmare, was in town Saturday and
called to tell what he had done in
the dairy business during the year
1908. At the beginning of the year
Mr.. Sanders commenced keeping ac-
count of his dairy business, said
account commencing January l and
closing December 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 those
twelve months he sold 1891 pounds of

Something A b ut Tightening Rod

: (12O26) J. H. asks: What is the
consensus of authority and scientific
opinion on the true value and useful
ness Of lighting rods as means OF
protecting buildings from strokes of
lightning? Do they afford real pro-
lection? Are they worth what they
cost, in preventing fire? Doubtless
you know how opinions differ on this
subject. Many people declare that
lightning rods are worse than use
less; they actually invite danger
Others contend that they are as ne
cessary as fire insurance in. every
well-regulated establishment. A.
We are of the opinion that lightning
rods are q distinct advantage to
building in the open country and in
thinly built portions Of city; also
upon tall spires and chimneys in any
part of city. The method Of pro-
lection to be employed has been
many times discussed in. our paper.

butter, which brought $374.5O an av-
erage of fraction less than 81 cents.
During October and November they
made butter which brought $71.1O
from eight COWS.
During all this time they used an
average of five pounds of butter per
week for 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 begins to run and no
delivers his milk to that institution,
he can take care of more cows and
have more time to devote to the
business, and will make more profit.
This is something to think about, at
least.
