Colorado are to make an effort to send
one Of their sex to Congress two years
hence Such was the announcement made
to the visiting delegates from the Inter-
national Council of Women by one who
spoke for the women's associations in
tho State.
"Of course It is difficult TO tell whether
we will be successful in our efforts or
not" said Mrs Harriet Wright, former
member Of the State Legislature. but
We are looking forward to landing a wom-
ar In the halls of Congress, and we GER
tainly are going to make a determined
trial"
Lady Mcmillan who talked suffrage

The reply was quick and decisive "Ir

Wool Rate
MAY MEET TO DRAFT
A FORMAL PROTEST

Clothiers in Wilmington in common with
those all through the country have been
asked to aid IN the fight on the proposed
wool rate in the Aldrich tariff bill now
before President Tatf. James Il. Wright
of the Wright and Davidson Company.
said today it was likely that the local clo-
thiers would meet 10 prepare protest
against the bill Copies of a letter sent
to the President by the National Asso-
citation Of which the following is a part
have been received by the clothing dea,-
ers:
Practically no change from the Ding
ley bill has been embodied in the new
tariff. and we must, therefore. assume
that no relief from the present unfav-
'orable conditions can be had save through
intervention
Eighty million wearers OF woolens are
paying yearly much more than the total
value Of the domestic wool clip to afford
excess profit to comparatively small
number of sheep raisers and worsted yarn
spinners.
I'VE are not opposed to reasonable
protection for the wool grower and to the
domestic manufacturer but from our
practical experience we know that the
Dingley bill. through the unjust discrimin-
ations against the lower and cheaper
grades OF wool, has created a condition
which has decreased the weight and dur
ability Of the clothing worn by the mass
e. Of the people and uniuly advanced
the price Of the deprecated cloth. Should
present tariff conditions continue the
situation will grow worse and the burden
Of all woolen clothing extremely heavy"
Fourteen thousand merchants through
out the United States have been asked
to appeal to the Senators and Represen-
tatives in behalf of reductions in the
wool schedule.
The National Association Of Manufac.
turers has sent a memorial to Congress
asking for uniform income tax. In part

tiome-Made Cheese.

Orriu Bent, the butter expert of Bos-
ton, who has scored the exhibits at our
dairymen's annual meetings the past
two years with so great acceptance to all
exhibitors, performed the same service
this year in each of the New England
states. He makes strong plea for
what il fast becoming a lost art in this
state, as elsewhere, namely, the making
of domestic cheese for consumption in
tho family. In an interview with us
some weeks ago Mr.. Bent expressed his
surprise that at our exhibition at Dexter
only a single sample of cheese was on
exhibition, and in the great dairy state
of Vermont but two specimens appear
ed on the exhibition tables.
Mr.. Bent we'll calls attention to the
value of domestic cheese for home con-
sumption, and also TO the high prices
this choice article commands among
consumers. The associate editor OF the
Farmer can endorse all this in full, as in
his earlier farming he made and market
ed many tons of the product, and has
always furnished generous supply for
family use on his own table.
In the days before the introduction OF
associated dairying in our state the max
ing of domestic cheese was an important
industry, and many farmer got bis hrst
start on his farm from the sale OF this
always cash product. Now there are
but few women, Tor men), who know
how to make cheese, or in fact who wish
TO learn how. There is, however, here
and there an example where cheese is
made at the farm with marked success
in so far as money returns for milk are
measure of success. In some cases
cheese Is made the full year round, and
sold at twenty to twenty-five days old al
regular price of fourteen cents q
pound. In other cases 1t is cured a
longer time and sold at still higher
price, as 10 the past year. There Is al
ways a ready demand for the article IN
either case.
The turning of milk into this product
at the prices referred to, and at the still
higher figures named by Mr.. Bent as
available in the larger markets, brings
the highest returns for the milk of any
disposition of it that is open to oul
dairymen. We have repeatedly made
pound of cheese, green weight, from
seven to nine pounds of milk, according
to whether the milk was from fresh
cows or strippers. The cured cheese o.
course would figure slightly more miih
for the pound, but in return would sci
at a higher price.
It is thus shown there is no way thai
milk can be made to net the maker &c
much at the farm, as to turn 1t into
choice product of domestic cheese. w
are plad Mr.. Bent has called the atten
tion of the women of the farm to the op
portunity for a profitable outlet TO-
milk. A knowledge of making 80 de
sirable and valuable product at hom'
should not bs lost.-Maine Farmer.

Keeping Accoun Is.

G. A. Billings, specialist on dairy
farm management, Washington, D c.,
in speaking of the value of keeping
records and accounts, at recent insti-
tute, said: "If we close discussion Of
farm management without giving en-
phasis to the need of keeping records
and accounts, we have omitted the key
stone of the whole structure. We may
lay out the farm to economize labor; we
may understand the nature of soil and
its relation to humus and soil moisture;
we may carefully plan our rotations to
improve soil fertility; we may raise the
standard of our herd by introducing
good animals for foundation stock, but
unless we know accurately the cost OF
feed, msnures aud labor on each field,
which will enable us to find the cost of a
bushel of corn or oats, ton OF hay OF
ensilage; un less we know the cost OF
feed and labor in caring for young
animal; uni ess we establish asystem OF
weighing and testing milk which will
give us the annual production OF milk
and butter with an error OF not over
per cent, we have failed of the ultimate
object of records, namely, to know
whether 1t pays us to grow a crop on
some particular field, to find out the un'
profitable animals and the animals from
which we should only raise the offspring,
and the work actually accomplished by
each laborer, horse and machine"
