According to the last year book OF
! the Department of Agriculture,
there are 21.720.000 milch cows in
the United States, and these are
worth $7O2,945,OOO, The magnl-
tude of the industry can perhaps be
best understood when 1t is consider
ed that these cows produce yearly
about LOCO 100000 worth Of dairy
produces
There is no other branch Of diver
sified agriculture so important to tho
progress Of a community. The fer
tility of the soil can best be main
tanned by the liberal use of barnyard
manure and the dairy here not only
makes this possible, but dairying Is
also more remunerative than other
branches of farming when carried
on.
Dairying has made wonderful prog
ress since the advent of the modern
creamery and the consumer OF but
ter has not only been benfitted by
being furnished a more wholesome
and palatable article of food, but the
wife in the farm home has been re-
lieved of the drudgery incident to
making butter on the farm. Where
formerly the cream was ripened
and churned into butter under condi-
tions not conductive to fine quality In
the finished product and In the ma
jority of cases by unskilled hands,
now the most of the milk or cream
is delivered to a modern creamery
where conditions are suited to the
purpose of making butter, and the
result has been a wonderful inn
provement in the quality of our
dairy products. As the quality has
improved consumption has increased
and the progress of dairying has
been remarkable during the past de-
cade.
The perpetuity of the country's
greatness depends upon increasing
the production of farm products
from year to year, a result which not
only furnishes our people with food,
but maintains the prosperity Of our
farming communities. Increase In
production can only come through
improved methods of agriculture and
soil improvement. When 1t is con-
sidered that the dairy COW is the
foundation for soil Improvement,
and farming prosperity, her import
ahce is best understood, and interest
in her should not be confined to her
owner. She is an important factor
in the development and prosperity
of our country.

TALKED PAVING BIDS.
Council Did Not Settle Matters at
Meeting.

The council met last night and
discussed pavings bids. The city
will. issue about 100000 in bonds
and the specifications for paving pro-
yided that contractors should take
them at par and that interest shall
be not exceeding 6 per cent. Now
It is desired to issue them at 5 per
cent but the contractors demand .
DER cent bonds. If the city can sell
S per cent bonds at par that is OF
course satisfactory, but thus far the
administration has not been able to
do that. The council voted down a
motion to make them at 5 per cent
and adjourned until tonight.

THE NEW PREACHER.

There is much encouragement In
the life of q preacher, according to
the gentlemen of CLOTH" but there
is an occasional compensation says
william Allen White in the Empo-
ria Gazette. When a minister ar
rives in town to take the burden Of
rescuing the people, he at once be-
comes a living Issue. He attracts
general attention, and Is the subject
of discussion everywhere. The men,
bers of his own church are greatly
excited, and the people Of the other
churches are profoundly interested,
and the folks who don't belong to
any church-those unfortunates who
are out on the mountain wild and
bare-discuss the new pastor as
earnestly as the rest of the boys.
He is the general theme for weeks
at a stretch. He is discussed at the
dinner table, at the Women's club
upon the market place. People who
have been so fortunate as to enjoy a
priyate conversation with him enjoy
welI-earned distinction. There Is
a general disposition to make things
pleasant for him, and that is Zine
spirit.
No other man gets such a cordial
sendoff as does the preacher. 1t IS
true that the people ring bells and
spend money for bunting when a
great statesman comes to town for a
day. but when he goes he is forgot
ten and he does not become fire
side topic.
If an editor goes to a new town
he receives no ovation, although he
NAV be a man with bullying brow
A few chronic politicians call upon
him and tell him that they are glad
that he has located in Their Midst
and the local weather prophet makes
a call. and borrows so cents and the
town crouch comes around with a
s,x-column article roasting every
body. but there is no sign OF popu-
lar enthusiasm.
The representative citizen goes 70
his home in the evening and tells his
wife that a sway-baeked editor has
come to town, but she is not inter-
ested and asks him when he is golps
to loosen up for that new SILK
dress. When the new editor calls
mon the merchant princes for some
advertising they tell him that there
are too many papers in the town al
ready. and his obvious duty is to sus'
mend publication and get a JOB o.
the garbage wagon. Any man who
has been in the newspaper business
a long time knows how sad a thinl
lit IL to make his debut in a new
town; and It is much the same VIII
the merchant, the baker or the can
destiek maker; he has to scrap III
vay into public esteem, and Prov
That he Is the real goods before any
lbody accepts him az such.
The preacher has better luck. h

WHEN CHARLIE CASE DRAFTED
western Kansas Wind Scattered His
Eloquent Speech.

Eloquent Speech.
Kansas City Journal: Charles Case
representative from Dickinson coun-
ty, who is a candidate for the office
Of second term, and has no oppoSi-
ton, had an exciting Fourth of July
speech experience one time. He don't
like to be called Hon. G. A. Case,"
and to be fair with him, his friends
never think Of putting that useless
prefix on his name. He has q good
story showing the trial of a Fourth
of July orator. which other lndepend-
ence day speakers may appreciate.
Case graduated from Princeton sew
eral days before, and had Just come
home with his sheepskin. He found
letter inviting him to address a
Fourth Of July picnic out in Western
Kansas and accepted. With enthu-
siasm he went to work to writing a
speech thA was primed and planned
to lift enthusiasm to the starry firm
ament. All the classics and history
which he had acquired in college he
chucked into that speech-and then
some.

county. Two or three hundred farm
ers and their families were there. A
merry-go-round was on hand and |
was treated with the utmost cordial
ity.
"The speakers stand was faced py
some rows Of board seats, and was
introduced by one Of the farmers as
the greatest orator in seven coun-
ties. It made me a little nervous
because. with all the travelling and
new experiences, had forgotten my
speech. But I had the manuscript
and placed 1t solemnly on the read
