was in this city. Monday. and In
spected the Audrain county jail. Mr..
Cross has made a close study Of
such institutions and the following
interview. concerning the con-
diaions here, Is of interest to every
citizen OF the County.
There we've eight prisoners in
the JAN january first" said Mr..
Gross. "An but two OF them were

care Of the cen room was good.
While the lathed and paastered cell

1t is quite probable q prisoner

ROOF very easily. Plaster has fallen

Another evil that cannot b
remedied is that on most coca

is a horrible practice. Sheriff Wood

Macon. Mo, Dec. 2s.
The Importance of the COW as a
farm asset was shown at the farm
ers' institute held here by the
state board Of agriculture. The
value of dairy products to the
state and the possibilities OF en-.
HANGING land prices were demonstrat
ed by actual results in Macon eoun-
ty.
Rudolph miller. who runs a
large creamery here. which Is
known to the people here as Little
Denmark, told how he had won 2
silver cups for exhibiting at a ma
~tional and state needing the best
specimens Of butter from Mis-
! souri,
THE COW Is getting to be a big
ger asset Of our state than the Mis-
souri, mule" said the successful dai
ryman. THE farmers Of Holland
and Denmark became famous the
world oyer for the production Of
cheese and butter. They acquired
that reputation by tho most unre-
4 u E.N wv N-H.Ht
uniting care and toll. A COW was
treated almost as weil as a member
OF the famiiy. Not a speck Of dirt
was allowed anywhere The barn
was kept at an even temperature,
and the cows gave milk In the
winter as well as in the summer.
They were fed well, slept In
clean beds. and were provided with
as succulent food In the winter as
in the summer. This has been
the point upon which our American
farmers have needed che agt
Improvement.
THE trouble with tile dairy bust
ness in this state 10 that wath
most farmers It De merely a side is
sue to earn a little extra money.
The production Of cream ought to be
an industry itself. There should
be organization and discussion, The
producer Of milk and the manufac-
turer Of butter need greater conf.
dence In each other. We have fine
grass IN Missouri and when we
learn TO take more care In keep
ing our ponds and other sources Of
water cleaner We Will produce as
GOOD butter az they don In Denmark
