Promoters Of the Waterways

TO MEET At WASHINGTON
CAUTIOUS ACTIONS OF THE PRES

Washington. ID. c.. Nov. l7.-Fol-
lowing the discussion which the
deep waterways project received ~.
the recent trip Of President Taft d,rm
the Mississippi to New Orleans, the
delegates to the National Rivers anl
Harbors congress. which will meet
here on Dec. S-9lO. are preparing tn
train their guns ON the members of the
sixty-first congress. which will con-
vene at the same time.
Although President Taft stated in
his speech at New Orleans that he ia
vored the bond issue for the necessary
improvements. he was inclined to be
cautious and held out no hope for I'M
'''"'','e action. IN addition to this.
his attitude on the trip down the river
was anything but encouraging to the
s-...v.,e.s y. me deep waterways
plan.
The ouspoken opposition OF Uncle
Joe" Cannon to any bond issue for
the furtherance of this project, in
stead of discouraging its SUPPORTS,
has acted as u stimulus to their efforts
and everything possible will be done
to obtain some concessions from con.
gress.
No limit is placed on the number Of
delegates from any section, and II will
probably be the largest waterways
meeting ever held in this or any othes
country.

THE SCRAP BOOK
A Quick Recovery.

IF man wants to encourage calam-
tiles that sometimes result In mira
cles, all he has to do is to send a son
to college and present him with an
automobile" declared the father Of a
young man now in his second year at
one of the big universities.
THAT boy of mine was likely to
bankrupt me with his calls for money
to pay damages to and by his machine
until I wrote him that in future he
must cover all such expenses out of
his allowance, which is about ten
times what my father gave me when
l went to college.
FOR a time there wasn't a single
demand from him, but last week he
sent me telegram like this: Wire
me $500 Immediately. Have killed a
mans horse OF course 1 said things
unfit to repeat and finally telegraphed
him: Demand exorbitant. Will be on
tomorrow to compromise
Imagine my amazement, in view OF
the horses late demise. at receiving
within two hours this inexplIcable re-
ply: Don't trouble to come. Horse

the lady marshaled r meager knowl-

to make the waiter understand that he
should call the ehambermaid. What
she said to him, however. was:

The waiter leaned against the wall

The waiter became appalled,.

IMPROVE MARKET DAY,

Market day has become recognized
institution IN Little. Falls and its
benefits are apparent to all. Yet there
are ways in which 1t could be made
better, greater and more beneficial.
We believe that on every market day
there should be prizes offered which
would stimulate interest and liven up
things The experience of other
towns shows that wise prize giving,
contests on stock and horses, ETC.,
when properly managed, make market
day more what it should be.
At the last Wadena market day there
was a two-year. old colt show on the
streets for the main feature. Thirty
one farmers exhibited colts, the total
value of which was probably $4,000.
The prizes were not large, but they
were appreciated.
That shows what one town did.
On another day there could be stock
show, another for poultry, etc. Also,
have few prizes for biggest load OF
wheat or wood, heaviest team, biggest
family coming In one rig, etc. There
are numberless suggestions and we
believe this is worth thinking about.

SMARTER THAN SHE LOOKS.

A great many da,rymen, before
beginning to milk, feed each cow.
The mixer hurries to get through,
because it the COW finishes her meal
before the mixer has done his work,
she EFFORTS more feed by holding back
her milk, so must be fed again to keep
her in good humor. It is a better
plan to do the milking first and then
feed Immediately, and cows that are
accustomed to this treatment generally
give down their milk cheerfully, for
they know that milking is prelude
to feeding. A COW is much smarter
than she looks and more grateful than
most persons would believe. So long
as the COWS know they are not going
to be struck or beaten, they will
neither kick nor hook. An ex-
perienced milkman will never allow
any loud talking or excitement about
his barn or stable, for the quieter the
COWS are kept the greater the quantity
of milk given, and the easier the work
is performed. From January Farm
Journal.

WARNING TO BUTTERMAKERs.

State Dairy and Food Commissioner
=. Is. Slater has sent out q note Of
warning to the Minnesota butter
makers, cautionlng them against send
ing out butter containing over 16 per
cent of moisture. The federal law
regards such butter as adulterated and
provides for penalty OF ten cents q
pound.
Mr.. Slater's letter IS as follows:
Your attention is called to the
fact that the federal internal revenue
department officials are very active in
enforcing the law relative to the
moisture content of butter. A CO.
operative creamery in Stearns county
has recently been compelled to pay
over 5000 penalty for violating the
law, and this note of warning is
published for the purpose of urging
greater caution than is practiced at
many of our creameries.
There are comparatively few
creamerle that can pay such a
penalty and survive. The matter is
of great Importance and should receive
immediate and constant attention at
your creamery. The buttermaker
should be supplied with apparatus for
ascertalning the moisture content Of
his butter, and he should be required
to use 1t every day. This department.
is powerless to help you after you get
into trouble with the federal officials,
and this warning is prompted by a
desire to have you adopt such
measures at your creamery as will
insure your compliance with the law
under which the federal officials
operate.
