and understand every detail of the
business. The best cooperative
creamery managers are the butter
makers. A good, thoroughly compe
tent man should be engaged at a lib,
eral salary to look after the entire
business Of the creamery. With such
a man it's success is practically as
sured.
A factor working very detrimen.
tally to the cooperative creamery is
the lack of unity and cooperative
spirit among farmers. This is a very
serious condition, but is generally due
to the lack Of competent head and
in creamery organization of farm.
ers If a strictly reliable manager is
engaged there is little trouble on this
score.
AS previously mentioned the CO
operative creamery Is the ideal con.
dition. The leading dairymen in each
community should get together to
talk over the matter and secure the
services of some one from their
dairy school or the state dairy and
food department to assist them in
the organization. It will pay them
not only in securing a sure market
for their dairy product, but a market
that will guarantee better returns.

Fitting Aged Ewes for
Market on the Farm

By r. S. SHAW

In maintaining a profitable flock of
sheep careful selection must be prac-
ticed year after year. Some of the
older ones must be eliminated and
younger ones chosen to fill their
places. AS general rule it is not de-
sirable to keep ewes beyond their
sixth year unless in the case of spe-
cial individuals or flocks of strictly
fine wooded types. The matter of age
alone should not be the deciding fac
tor in discarding the eve, for her abil-
it yto raise a good lamb. The char
acter and amount of fleece she pro-
duces and the condition of her teeth
are factors to be considered as we'll.
The profitable fitting and marketing
of ewes too old to be useful further in
and breeding flock is quite problem,
especially If her teeth are defective
and she is in thin condition because
Of having reared lambs during the
past season. AS a rule she cannot
be fitted for market profitably on dry
feed during the winter except with alb
normal market conditions.
AS soon as the old ewes lambs have
been weaned she should be given &C.
cess to succulent pasture such as Sec
ond growth clover, well established
new seeding o. patch of rape. To
the forage thus secured may be added
liberal grain allowance of ground
corn and oats in equal parts which
would be improved some by the addi-
30
IL available. AS soon as these condi-
lions have fattened the eve sufficient
ly for market then the best possible
deal should be made with the drover
or butcher before winter sets in.

Looking for New Potato Types.

The explorers have peen looking up
the potato plant in its native home
in Central America and Mexico and
have found about 40 species, all of
which have leaves and tubers after
the same general fashion as the ordi
nary market potato. The professors
are not sure that any of the wild
kinds are capable of producing vari.
cites of any greater merit than our
present commercial potatoes, although
It is considered possible that gooe
types of potatoes could be obtained
from two or three other types quite
different In appearance from common
potatoes and which are already being
taken up by the experiment stations
Charlevoix county herald., 1911-09-30

The mating season for sheep is not
far distant and the best selections of
flock headers can be made early In
the season. At this time one can
choose from among the best of the
ram lambs and yearlings or two-year-
olds. Offerings of makes will go quick
ly as soon as the show season opens
up and by the time the sheep is actu-
ally needed the market will be pretty
well culled over. Procure yearling
or older ram If possible. Ram lambs
should not be used unless exceeding

Sounds Almost True.

The following is a real fish story:
Almost frozen and dying of hunger
we saw a wounded whale struggling
on the ice. We were so hungry we
could hardly refrain for eating it raw;
but upon my suggestion we proceeded
to fry the whale entire:-we did so
and found its flesh as tender as sal
mon. How did we fry It? Where
did we get the frying pan? Why, I'll
tell you. We started a fire on the
ice and let it burn till it became red
hot, and then we rolled the fish on
il, and in an hour ii was done TO a
turn.

is white father mas long since been
lost IN the maelstrom of society.
Johnnie should work, but he does not;
he should save his pennies, but he
will not; he should do chores for his
mother, but he merely plays.
rs that all true, Johnnie?" asks
the Judge with a fatherly touch on the
boys shoulder. The little quadroon
Is touched by the kindness of the
judge, he drops his little eyes, and
says 1T is true.
IF l give yon another chance, will
you work, john and will you stay
home nights-aiI will you help your
tired mother?"
Johnnie promises to be good; there
Is a ring of honesty in his boyish
voice. he goes out into the world and
makes good, and az the mother wash
es to keep herself and boy in trim,
the case does not become burden to
the state.
But the next instance is different.
Jim Murray came before the Judge.
He had stolen his fathers cuff-but-
tons and had skipped. He slept under
boxes and sidewalks and in barns.
Jim had a grievance, too. He was
obliged to wash dishes and to scrub,
and the nickel, the ignoble compensa-
ton furnished him for the task by
his grandfather, Jim says is taken
from him by his father.
Jim says 1t is all true. and he begs
the court to send him to a farm I'M
til he is twenty-one years of age. He
will be glad to work near to natures
heart, and if he can ride a pony oc-
casionally and can rest under apple
trees occasionally he will make
man of himself.
1t is work such as this the Big
Brother and Big Sister league of Chi
cago is doing, as part of the Illinois
Children's Home and Aid society, and
under the direction of the juvenile
court
The work was started in Chicago
in July, 1909, by Mr.. e. r. Colby. Mr..
Colby would rather find n good home
for child than to race about the
country in an automobile, and he has
given up splendid business chances
for this phase of social work During
the past year 200 children have been
looked after, and the avenues for USE
fulness are ever widening
There have long been open doors
for little fatherless and motherless
children, there have long been corr
receive institutions (Which have not
always corrected), but there has been
an intermediate class of boys and
girls which has been lost sight of.
This class has of recent years been
discovered in large cities, and it is
this intermediate class of boys and
girls that the Big Brothers and Big
Sisters are trying to help over the
roughnesses of life.
AS may be fancied, work of this
kind in a metropolitan city grows by
leaps and bounds, and method of
work must be thought out and worked
out as facts develop. Good homes
must be at hand to supply the mani
fold necessities, big and little.
The Office of the league is at 1877
North Dearborn street, Chicago, where
the Children's Home and Aid Society
of Illinois has for a dozen years main-
tanned its existence.

1T is an imperfect organization in it's

out of which to make them. said a
wise and reverent thinker. But it is

Hold fast to the great truth of hu-

the world of humanity. In the develop

of life upon it's surface, in the develop

Give no heed to the pessimist's wall.
With all the assurance which incontro-

optimist's position. If ever you are
tempted to let go your grip upon the
great, primal scriptural truth that this
is Gods world and not the devils,
that the kingdoms of this world are to
become, nay are becoming, the kingdom
of our God and Of his Christ read
your bibles again and again. Read the

have are all powerful to meet any foe
you may encounter. Don't min1fy the
evils Of the day, greed, selfishness. the
loosening Of the marriage tie, political
corruption, soulless monopolies. the
curse of caste, the dangers of the idle
rich and of the overworked and under

That magnify the ceaseless working
of the forces Of good. These are null

perhaps has never seen before. When
