Butter and Substitutes.

The great majority of people eat
butter and much prefer it to any of
the substitutes which have been put
upon the market. However, great
many pople must use u substitute on
account of the high prices which pre-
vail during certain months of the
year.
CleomargaTine is the most common
substitute for butter and millions of
pounds of this product are consumed
each ye6r. The difference in cost Of
production between oleomargarine
and butter is SO great that when but
ter is retailed at forty cents per
pound, ol2On}GrgaIinG may be retailed
st twenty cents per pound at as great
profit to the dealer.
The person who chooses to purch-
asa the substance should be allowed
to do so ana he should be required to
pay only the price CT the substitute
Tie difference in price between the
genuine product ant the substitute is
So great that the dealers are tempted
10 sell the latter for the former. Only
by requiring that the consumers may
Gifferentiate between the two articles
can honest traffic in the substitute BE-
insured.
This was contemplated by Congress
when the present internal revenue tax
Of ten cents por pound was levied up
On "artiiicially colOred oleomargar-
inc" Many think that all oleomar-
gerine is taxed ten cents per pound.
This Is NJ" e TACT. Ole0m5rgarine
which is "Grtilicially colored' 50 that
the consumer cannot distinguish it
from butter is the only olaOmargarine
that is thus taxed. When it is put
upon the market in its natural color
it is only taxed one-f0urth Of q cent
per pound.
1t is only when the product is made
TO look like butter so that it may be
fraudulen-iv sold as butter that
burdensona tax is imposed upon it.
The imposition of the taE is not to
Suppress I'll" sale Of olecm2rgaTine or
to make il more expensive to the con-
sumer, but 10 prevent fraud in it's
sale.

FOOD HIGH In ALASKA.
One Good Crop Should Yield For
tune to Farmers.

would you care to run truck farm
with Strawberries selling at $1-25 to
~ quart, cuCumbers So to So a doz-
en-, celery 30 cents each, tomatoes so
cents 10 81 pound, and other pro-
ducts at proportionate prices Or
would you prefer general farming,
with a few pigs and chickens as a

ton, hogs 30 cents a pound, young
pigs - cents pound and eggs So a

These prices are received in Alaska
under favorable market conditions,
but the prospective settler should
consider the difficulties and expense
Of farming, as we'll as the high prices
OF his products
Alaska is not generally given much
consideration from an agricultural
standpoint, and yet, despite the rigor-
Gus climate, large variety Of grains,
small fruits and vegetables are being
successfully grown. Experiments are
being made with tree fruits, but the
results thus far have not been very
encouraging. The WORK conducted by
the government with grains at the
Rampant Experiment Station has been
an unqualified success. Varieties Of
nearly all grains have been found that
grow we'll.
A cattle-breding station at Kodiak
is working to develop the milking
qualities of Galloway cattle, as they
are the most hardy and best adapted
to the climate. 1t is believed that
this will be accomplished. The OBJ
ject will be to furnish hardy, accli-
mated cattle to settlers in the country
at price not higher than the cost of
taking them from the United States.
The coast region is well suited to the
raising of cattle.
There are several successful farm
ers in the vicinity of Fairbanks, some
of whom are general farmers, and
others are running market gardens.
While they are meeting with some fail
ures of parts of their crops by frosts
and cold and wet summers, yet they are
learning by experience to overcome
many of the discouragements of the
climate.
The climate shows a wide variation,
from 80 degrees Fraenheit at Ram
part, on the Youkon River, in July,
with an average for the month of Sc
degrees, to So degrees below zero at
fields, in January, with an average for
the month of 40 degrees below zero.
The coast towns are mild for that
region, neither Sitka nor Kodiak
reaching zero during 1909, while Jun
eau only reached degrees below in
January, with a daily mean for the
month of 14.15.

Good Roads and Better Schools.

Logan Waiter Page, Director OF the
Office Of Good Roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture, has writ
ten an article for the National Grange
in which he discusses the influence
o. roads ana schools. Good roads, lie
believes, would reyClutioniZe the ru-
raj schools.
Mr.. Fage contrasts the lot of the
country child OH his way to school in
winter with that OF the city child with
only q few blocks Of paved streets to
walk Here is the rural situation as
he pictures it:
our country child, with satcbel
hand, must leave the cheerful fireside
OF home from half an hour to al hour
before school opens in order to be
thare ON time. Tie roads are Wer
ana muddy many months OF the year.
The country is open and the cold
winds are unmerciful III their attacks
upon Elm. So that, by the time ne
reaches the schOolhOuse, which is
often unscienUiHcaIly ventilated and
poorly heated his feet are Sc cold and
his body SO chilled that lie is unfit Ior
study or recitation most u the day,
and the exposure and Chl4hnS OF the
body invite pneumonia and other dis
eases.
These conditions cause broken and
irregular attendance. They create an
aversion in the child iOr the school
room instead OF a pride in punctual
attendance and studious advance
meIt."
These conditions, It IS well known,
materially cut down the attendance al
the rural schools anu, as Mr.. Page
points out, il is Ct little avail 70 pass
compulsory attendance laws until
there is substantial road improve
meut. C0o1 Icads constitute an I'M
portant fact0r in tie movement for
popular education The matter is one
that should NOT be overlooked by those
WHO are striving Ecr educational pro-
gross.
The lack Of good roads in many
sections OF kentucky has been
serious Hindr&nce to Inc work Of the
schools. That is also the case in
many other States. Nest Of our
teachers know from experience the
t1uth o. the statements made by Mr..
Page. They are also in a position TO
expound the good roads doctrine to
good effect and they ought to do it.
