Kansas Farmers Drop Million
in One Year.
Keep Poor Cows Instead of
Good Ones.
CAVE POOR PLACE FOR CREAM
1t AbsOrbs OdOrs From Paint
and Vegetation.
Keep Cream Cool and Feed
Cows Right.

Farmers of Kansas lost 81, 100000
on butter last year. This is the sub
stance of a report by d. S. Burch,
state dairy commissioner, issued to-
day, in which he places the blame on
loss was caused directly by the aver
age quality of cream produced. since
the creameries could not make but
ter from this cream, which would
bring the highest possible price, they
could not pay the highest price for
butter fat
Mr.. Burch blames the farmer and
not the cow for the poor grade of
butter fat. He says the farmers who
keep their cream in wells, running
streams and clean ice boxes have a
good grade. Those who keep 1T in
musty damp cellars and caves, or in
places where it absorbs odors from
paint. offal or stale vegetation, have a
very low grade and this pulls down
the worth of the good cream. Mr..
Burch's advice is:
Keep your cream cool and In clean
places. Feed your cows right. The
grade of butter fat will be raised. The
creameries can get more for their but
ter, and quicker markets. This will
enable them to pay the farmer more
The grading system, whereby each
farmer is paid according to the test
of his butter fat, is advocated. Then
the city man can know whether he is
eating pure COW grease or linseed oil
and rubber boots. Less than one-thtrd
of the Kansas farmers are producing
high grade cream Burch says.

The practical. talk this week was

Superintendent of Public Instruction.
1t was a forcib1e, interesting address.
"A great many young people," Mr..
Fairchild said, "go to school because
they are sent. This is often true in
our universities. Then there are 9TH

And think the business college must

latter class-those who are earnestly
bent upon getting ready for 1ife's ac-
tivities. To many. people in this world
try to eliminate time as a factor in
getting ready. Don't be in too much
of hurry. Stay with your work here
until you are thoroughly equipped.

can liberty and American institutions
have thriven and been examples to
the rest of the world because they
were the work of a people who had
been trained for many generations in
civil liberty and intellectual freedom.
In the French revolution men tried
to solve all these questions at a blow,
and one constitution succeeded an
other, perishing like the lily of a day
almost as soon as it was born. The
French people had not passed through
the long years of training, of slow adj
vance. which had been the inheritance
and the fortune of the people of the
American colonies and of the United
States. We see with deep qualification
the success and the permanency of
the French republic of today, but the
principal cause of that-success, in my
opinion is that the French people, one
of the most brilliant and most en-
lightened peoples in the world, have
now had 100 years of training in the
difficult art of self government.-Sena

Former Kansan Leaves Gold Buried
for Twenty Years.

Paola, Kan, April 6.-Twenty years
ago David Banks, an old resident of
Wea Township. this county. drew all
of his money out of the Louisburg
bank and buried it on his farm. Mr.
Bank moved to Texas a few months
ago and bought property near Waco.
In a recent letter to Cyrus Aiken OF
Louisburg he told where the money
was hidden and instructed Mr.. Aiken
to locate fhe treasure and send him a
draft for the amount. BY following
the chart of instructions, Mr.. Aiken
found the hiding place. Buried sew
eral feet in the ground in secluded
part of the farm was an old wagon
hub that contained $3.50 in ten and
twenty dollar gold pieces. The ends
of the hub were plugged up with
hedgewood, making an air tight re-
ceptacle for the coin.

Wise principles of government and
good laws can do and have done much
for the benefit of humanity, but moth
ing is more fatal than to overestimate
their power To do so tends to breed
in man the most deadly of ai1 diseases
which can afflict human society, the
loss of self dependence, and the weak
impulse to look for help to something
or somebody outside ones self at every
step upon the road of life. In the
past 800 years there have been enor-
nous advances in political freedom, in
the protection of human rights, and in
guarding the weak from the oppres-
sion of the strong; but those advances,
so great when we look back over the
centuries, were slowly and painfully
obtained. They did not come in a day
or year, or even in many years; they
came little by little, but when they
came in that way they we're lasting.
Mankind accepts all the benefits gain
ed by those who have gone before,
thinks exclusively of existing evils,
and, as is right, looks forward only to
future improvement. But that i'm
provement can be obtained, as the i'm
provements of the past have been OBJ
tanned, only by slow degrees. Ameri
