PRESIDENT BECOMING COSTLY

Representative Adair of Indiana has
cause enough to protest, us he did,
against the growing extravaganza of
presidents in absorption of public funds
for private or semi-private use and dis
play, says the Oregon Journal. Not
only has the presidents salary been
trebled in a generation, raised from
$25, ZOO to $4,000. and again last year
to 49, 900 but the expenses of the White
House and grounds, and of equipment
and extras of one kind or another, have
increased in proportion, until now the
president costs the country about 1880.
600 year. The people of the country
desire the president to be well paid and
sufficiently provided for, of course, but
there is no need of nor any good excuse
for the lavish outlay, mostly to enable
the president to initiate the functional
displays of foreign courts.
Tee president himself is pleading for
economy in public expenditures and
urging retrenchment, but he shows
inconsistency and sets bad example
when he allows the expenses of his
p )sition to run up to $500, 4O0, as Mr..
Adair says they did last year The
president of so great a country should
not be unreasonably stinted, but he
would set an excellent and very useful
example if he would live on two thirds
of his salary or less. and cut out about
one-half the unnecessary expenses
loaded upon the country of maintaining
his establishments. Preaching without
practice cannot be expected to have any
influence.

Of peas worth more than $50 an acre.
This incident. considered in conjunc-
ton with the fact that many farms
can be bought for even less than the
value of the buildings standing on the
land, is used in bulletin by Com
missioner Pearson of the state agrl-
cultural department to indicate the
possibilities of agriculture in New
York.
This publication also gives the val.
ue of crops in this state for period
Of 40 years, showing that New York
is theNourth state in agricultural i'm

statistics Is that while in 1875 New
York raised 35.OOO,0O0 bushels of po
tatoes, valued at $1O,985,179, last year
it produced 34,850,000 bushels, valued
at $26,13S,000. Similarly increased
value is shown In other crops. while

Farm Dairyin8.

This subject is one that now interests
many of our farmers as there is more
profit to be derived from herd OF
dairy cows than from any other stock
kent on our farm. The dairy herd is
profitable in several ways and the totals
are always on the credit side. First
our dairy herd make a large quantity
of valuable manure that by properly
caring for and applying to our fields,
increases the yields of our crops both
in grain, meadow and pasture. Second,
hey consume the hay, fodder and silage
and return more pay than our beef cat
tie or the mule.
keep on my farm about 25 Jersey
cows. | have separator and separate
our milk taking the cream to the
creamery. In summer feed the skin
milk to the pigs and at the prices OF
hogs, | realize big pay for it. But IN
winter, / do not feed many hogs, only
brood sows, and now ship my skim
milk to Louisville where / get "a cents
per gallon cents net with 6 cents
for skim milk and my butter. Now
cream sent to the creamery at 81 to 80
cents per pound makes my whole milk
about 20 to "a cents per gallon, and
you can see that it will pay better to
use the separator, than to ship the whole
milk, as we can only get 18 cents per
gallon for milk in the city and pay "a
cents express, leaving 16A cents.
feed silage, cotton seed meal, ship
stuff, or bran and shorts mixed, clover
hay and shredded fodder. The better
feed and attention, the more profit
get. The COW should be bedded and
kept clean, and each cow should be
brushed daily, and by so doing their
hair is soft and sleek.
The Jerseys are more profitable II
this locality, for this reason, we have
creameries. our milk is tested and we
get pay for the butter fat in the same
We find that Jersey milk is richer, anc
they are the best of the butter breeds
The majority of our dairy farmers pa
tronize the local creameries. There is
no feed equal to silage for dairy cows
No feed / get will make the milk thai
silage will. No herd will show up ir
as fine condition in the spring as the
herd that is fed on silage.

The Prodigal

When he was freed prison societies

But he refused and started on his

that he had earned. First he must
fulfill his determination.
II was $50 miles up state to the old
home where his brother--the rich
man--still lived. Walter had stayed
at home and prospered, and was al
