Milk Made Cheaply.

Milk is more cheaply made by good
grass than in any other way; and
next to grass comes silage, because it
furnishes the cheapest and most de-
sirable substitute for grass.

to care for ensilage from these meet
ings. Alfalfa was introduced on some
farms and people became acquainted
with the buttermakers side of the
milk question
The club afforded a training in pub
lie speaking and in the organizing
and running of an organization ac-
cording to parliamentary rules. Chill
dren were given excellent training in
this way that will be of great value
to them when they have to conduct
the district and town meetings.
Then there is a great culture value.
The assemblymen and other men con-
nected with the government brought
the great world of politics to these
farmers. Through other speakers the
country high school, tuberculosis, con-
servation, banking methods. road
laws, history of the county, and other
topics of wide interest were pre-
scented.
There is a social side to the farm
er's club. 1t provides a place for the
people to go during the winter and
so Is the first step towards making
the school a social center. One club
took steps to present a play. An
other ended its years work with a
minstrel show and a lunch to which
the short course boys put the finish
ing touch by giving the Wisconsin
yells. They are planning on having
more such evenings this winter. The
past fall two of the clubs held dis
trict fairs which were a great success.
A great deal depends on the leaders
in the community and the type of or
ganization they maintain. One club
is on the point of dissolving because
too many children were admitted and
of course the main purpose was lost
sight of. In other clubs it seems that
agriculture had only a minor place
and the club has more of the charac-
ter of a literary society. Still there
are others where the feeling among
the farmers is different and the clubs
are stronger than ever. However, 1t is
felt that there is need of some cen

FARMERS CLUBS OF
PRACTICAL BENEFIT
BY GEORGE WEHRWEIN,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

A few years ago a movement was
started in Manitowoc county to make
| the country school a social center
| through the organization of farmers
clubs. The idea was largely original
ed by the county superintendent of
schools who saw the possibility of
making such meetings of social and
educational value. He got his teach
ers enthusiastic and as a result there
were seven such clubs in the county
last winter Many short-course men
and intelligent farmers were a great
aid and encouragement in the starting
of these clubs. The average enroll
ment of active members was about
thirty and in many cases women and
the older children were allowed to be-
coYe members.
The topics discussed were along
the lines of agriculture and of the
household, Two or three talks were
given by the members, and then
opened for discussion. The school
children varied the program by songs
and recitations. Usually parliament
tary drill was part of the program.
Another feature was the exchange
of speakers A man who had made
quite a success of raising chickens
was invited to speak at several clubs
on his line of work. The same was
true of prominent dairyman, and
potato grower. Butter and cheese
makers talked to the clubs on the
care OF milk. At one club a tester
was brought to the meeting and the
members were shown how milk is
tested and the butter-rat and the but
ter is figured out by the butter maker
Another club held sort of institute
to which all the farmers of the neigh
borhood were invited and some of the
farmers institute men were the chief
speakers.
Another feature was that of having
men outside Of agriculture address
the meetings. The teachers prepared
on current topics and the county su.
perrin 'endeEt was often invited to dis
cuss school matters. Assemblymen,
members Of the county board, the
Judges of the municipal and probate
courts, bankers, and men who had
made special studies in local history
were frequent speakers. The county
superintendent issued list of avail
able speakers which was sent out to
the clubs.
Through these clubs farmers gain

Pure English for Children.

The Woman's Home Companion
Tor September contains strong arti-
Gle urging parents to use more care
in teaching children to speak pure
English. Following is an extract:
Zone of the causes of bad English
is the disrespect which children are
permitted to feel for each other. The
sacredness of personality is not
taught them, and they are allowed
to badger each other, and to make
each other ashamed of all distin-
gushing peculiarities. Disrespectful
nlcknames are permitted-yery diff
ferent things these from the affec-
tionate little home names and con-
versation, instead of being the med
9ium of friendliness between brothers
and sisters becomes as prickly as
a Cherokee-rose hedge.
Undue familiarity between fell
low-Students breeds the same disre-
spect and cheapness and young folk
who indulge in these redolent jocu-
larities extend their impudence I'M
til it includes their fathers and
mothers. To be sure, this impudence
may be mixed with affection. A boy
may call his father the old man,
and still love him; He may say the
mater will kick if he does such and
such thing, and be ready, all the
time, to devote his life to his mother;
but he has lowered his own stand
ards by talking in such a manner.
He is becoming, imperceptibly, not
only less a gentleman, but less a man
of character

THE RECORD on CoNGREss.

In the first session OF the Sixty
second Congress the Democratic ma
jority In the house has reorganized
that body, reduced the speakership
to comparative unimportance if
that is merit-pased without rid
ers of partisan amen dment the bill
to make possible the operation of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement ne
gotiated by Republican President,
put on the books a campaign ex-
pense publicity measure apparently
meritorious, devised and adopted a
scheme of apportionment of Repre-
sentatives and provided for the adj
mission as States of the Territories
of New Mexico and Arizona. To Mr..
Taft belongs the honor of having
thwarted the demagogic passion or
weakness for the recall of judges in
the Constitution of the latter Terri
tory. The Democratic majority has
reduced the expenditures of the
House itself, thus establishing its
right to command economy in every
department of the Government. NJ

THROWN FROM TRAIN AT NAUG-
ATUCK, THIS COUNTY.
Effort Being Made to Probe the
Mystery.


The bodies of two men, cut In sew
eral pieces@and horribly mutilated
were found on the Norfolk and Wes-
tern railway tracks near Naugatuck
on Saturday. Upon further investi-
cation it was found that the bodies
We're also riddled with bullets. No
trace oil the murderer or murderers
was in sight, SO it is generally be-
lieved that the bodies OF the men
had been thrown from some passing
train, as they were known to have
left Kenova on freight train the
night they were killed.
Sheriff w. A. Hurst is using his
best efforts to procure a clue to the
terrible crime, but SO far has
nothing that he can give to the
public. This is one OF the most das-.
tardly crimes that has been COM

II ever before, and nothing will be
left undone in the attempt to ap-
prehend the murderers.
