Hedley Lecture.

DR.. James Hedley lecturcd at the aus
ditorium Tuesday evening on "The
Worth of Man." There was good
attendance but not as geod as the
merits of the lecture deserved. 1t was
one of the best lectu.es that the people
of Holyoke have had the privilege of
listening to and those who did not at
tend missed rare treat in the lecture
line.
DR.. Hedley is good speaker and has
way of expressing his thoughts that
is highly pleasing and convincing to his
audience. For one and half hours, he
held the undivided attention of his hear
ers while he presented to them truths
as old as Christianity itself but present
ed them in such manner that it could
not fail to make lasting impression
on every thoughtful hearer.

Slightly Mistaken.

The Holyoke Enterprise in last weeks
issue, publishsd letter written to A.
N. Axelson Of Haxtun giving report
of the Phillips county exhibit at the
Dry Farming Congress recently held at
Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Enterprise then
made the following comment on the pub
lication Of the letter.
"The above letter was forwarded to
the State Herald for publication last
week and they were instructed to turn
the letter over to US for publication.
but owing to an oversightt?) they fall
ed to do So"
II Is true that the letter was sent to
the Herald for publication but, II any
instruction to turn the letter over to
the Enterprise was ever intended. il
never came to the knowledge Of any one
connected with the Herald office and
the publisher Of the Enterprise has new
er received any treatment at the hands
Of this office that would be the least
justification for his fling at the Herald
Office force.
The Herald has always been boost
er for Phillips county and has always
heen ready to help give publicity to any
and all news that was thought to be for
the best interest Of the county and has
never shown itself small enough to ut
tempt to get monopoly on news Of
this kind and the Enterprise must have
been suffering from an attack Of bad
liver when that unreasonable and un-
called-for ding was conceived.

Proposed Creamery

A meeting Of subscribers for stock in
the proposed creamery company was
held at the court house, Wednesday and
Fred Borlsnd. S. 7. Thompson and J..
W. Van Kirk were appointed a com.
mittec to select site for the creamery.
The Herald may not be up to date on
the most approved plans for promoting
business enterprise Of this nature but
as this proposed creamery company is
to be corporation, 1t looks very much
like placing the cart before the horse
to do any business in the line Of select
ing site. purchasing lots or construct.
log building before the company has
first been Incorporated.
Our farmers are careful and conser.
vative business men and these certainly
will not, in an important business un-
dertaking like this, be in hurry to ac.
cept n single estimate Of the necessary
cost of such creamery plant without
first receiving and considering eompet-
tive bids for furnishing the plant.
Second hand creamery plants in good
condition are for sale at many points
over the country. 1t Is reported that =
plant costing $1,000. installed not long
ago at Berthoud, could now be purchrs-
cd for small part Of the original cost.
THIS report Is certainly worthy Of in
vestigation for. II good second hand
machinery for creamery can be pur.
chased at bargain. II is good business
TO take advantage Of such bargain.
We have State Dairy Commissioner
who is In n position to be able to give
much valuable information to parties
contemplating the installing OF cream.
cry plant and 1t certainly would be the
wise course for our farmers TO avail
themselves OF this and all other neces-
sary information and we hsve no doubt
that they will do so before closing a
deal for creamery plant. II IL always
safe policy to take plenty Of time for
investigation and decision In business
Of this nature as the establishment OF
one creamery In Phillips county will bc
all the county will do In that line for
several years to come

DENMARK'S COW.
 TESTING CLUBS
Co Operative Associations Are Rapidly Inerea sing Stringent Rules for
 Management.

The cooperative COW testing asso- citations of Denmark have rapidly in creased to about 800 associations A man Is employed by each association to visit the farms and do the testing every three weeks. He weighs the milk and keps an accurate record f the feed consumed. so the net profit per year of each individual COW can be ascertained.
 Two Copenhagen milk companies handle over 100 0000 pounds of milk a day. all of which is produced under veterinary inspection and in accord ance with strict rules laid down by the company.
 Inspectors see that every producer lives up to these rules, which require cleanliness at every step.
 As soon as drawn. the milk must be cooled and kept below 50 degrees Fahrenheit; the slightest on flavor may cause the bottling plant to refuse the milk
 Then 1t Is pasteurized at 1S0 de grees. cooled to below 50 degrees and put into small-necked bottles sealed with eorks or expanded pulp covers.
 Milk sold Tn bulk Is sent out in large sealed cans from which 1t may be drawn only through faucet, over which must appear statement of fs quality
 In this way skim. one-half skim. whole milk and cream may be put out by the same wagon at prices varying according to the quality without dan ger of the purchaser being defrauded. All this milk is of the same high sanitary standard. Thirty pounds of ice must be provided for every eleven | gallons of milk produced There are HOO cooperative and 300 | private creameries in Denmark. These manufacture over 100000. 900 pounds | of butter year. eighty per cent of which Is exported to Great Britain. In l summer the milk Is delivered twice & day and in winter once. l Stringent rules are laid down Tn re | gard 10 cooling the milk on the farm and in not mixing mornings and nights milk. All foods which may impart an objectionable flavor to the l milk are forbidden.
 The creameries are compelled by law to pasteurise all skim miliS by heating to 1so degrees before It leaves
 the creamery, to prevent the spread of tuberculosis through this medium.

BEARS IN FIGHT TO DEATH
Wyoming Hunter Tells How He Started Fierce Fight Between
 Two Enormous Grizzlies.

A Wyoming man gives a graphic account of a battle to the death be- tween two bears, which a shot from his rifle had caused to attack each other .I was out after elk and discovered the two bears a long way off digging in rotten down timber for grubs. l dismounted from my pony, and, making wide detour, came up behind the bears and got within easy range without being winded or dis covered by them. Taking good aim at one of the grizzlies I fired The bullet tumbled him over, but he was on his feet again almost immediately.
 "The other bear had stopped it's grubbing when this one fell and turned and stared at it in surprise. The wounded bear glared at its com panion a moment and then appar- ently made up it's mind that it's com panion had knocked it down, for it pitched into that bear with a fierce ness that plainly meant business. and instantly battle was on. The bears clinched and bit and raked one an other with their claws. In a very short time their tough hides were hanging in strips on their huge bodies and the bears were drenched with blood. l never saw nor expect again to see such a sight. It was fearful. The grizzlies fought for at least ten minutes, and then the one l had shot failed to get up after being hurled to the ground by its antagonist. and the latter stood over it's prostrate foe and tore him with his paws until 1t had disembeweled him.
 Then the victor. growing and gnashing its teeth. moved away a few steps, staggered like drunken per son and fell to the ground. It tried to get up. but could not. l crept cautiously to the spot, fearing that the bear might still have enough vitality to make 1t lively when it discovered me, but my caution was not called for. The grizzly was as dead as his rival. Those two bears were the most prodigious specimens of their kind l had ever seen. but they were literally torn to pieces. There was not whole piece of skin or flesh op either of them as big as my hat"

A method Of subsolllng that is at- tracting a great deal of attention IS dynamite blasting The claim made for this practice Is that 1t virtually changes a farm from 6 or 8-ineh lay CT of top soil to a 6-foot layer because of the food in the lower strata made available by blowing daylight into them. The dynamite has three-fold effect on the soil. It not only pull verizes 1t, making it ideal for root growth. but 1t Irrigates and drains it at one and the same operation.

CARING FOR PIGS
 DURING SUMMER
Business Should be Conducted in Careful and Business Like Way for Ultimate
 Success.
Ry Al -IFGG.)


 Many farmers think that they can- not afford to feed the pigs liberally during the summer season. The pigs are allowed to shift for themselves in many instances and of course do not make much growth but one may see pretty good profit in feeding at the present high prices of both feed and pork.
 The hogs will just about live on the pasture they can gather from the field and what grain is given them goes to growth and any one who has tried it has found that only mod crate ration fed to the shoats on pas ture will make a good growth through out the season.
 Early spring pigs of any good breed can be made to average a pound Of gain a day by the time they are eight or ten months old and large part or this can be made on pasture.
 The pig that is fed enough food to keep it growing rapidly from the start to finish is usually the most profitable porker.
 In some sections where there is suf- fieient waste crop to fatten the hogs it may be profitable to allow the shoats to shift for themselves.
 However, usually the hogs that are allowed to shift for themselves and get fat on the waste are easy victims of cholera and swine plague. There Is section In the western part Of my country In West Virginia where the hogs are allowed the free range of the forests and that locality Is visited by cholera every year or two.
 There are quite as many hogs that die from cholera there as ever reach the pork barrel. Hog raising as a business must be treated in business way and if 1t Is conducted without cost there fs little profit

unfavorable Soils.

Clay soils are unfavorable to vege- tation because the soil is too close and adhesive to allow the free passage of air or water to the roots of the plants It also obstruets the expansion of the fibres of the roots. Sandy soils are unfayorable because they consist of particles that have too little adhesion 10 each other. They do not retain suf. iciont moisture for the nourishment of the plants, They allow too much so- lar heat to pass to the roots. Chalk soils are unfavorahle because they do not absorb the solar heat, and are, therefore. cold to the roots of the plants.

Market Gardeners

Market gardeners who plant about the same acreage every year fare bet ter than those who vary the acreage so much from year to year. There Is too much Of tendency on many farms to plant vegetable largely one year and then reduce the acreage the following year because prices were un- satisfactory. When the average price Of any of our important vegetables such as tomatoes and cabbage, is talk en for series of Ave or ten years. the profits. with good management should be very satisfactory.
