Pertinent Points for Practical Reas0ners

When asked Why do you trade with mail order
houses?" many will answer by asking the CUSTOM;
why should we bay of the To-
VERY TRUE cal merchants, when they ask
us more than we have to pay the
mail order people?' Many farmers think the only
reason they are expected to buy of the local mer
chants is that of patriotism and patriotism in this
sense is simply matter of sentiment They for
get almost entirely that patriotism, when consider
ed from the standpoint of fidelity to local merchants
is not sentiment but of the best forms of bus-
ness judgment Granting simply for the sake of
argument that local merchants do ask slight in
crease in prices over those asked by the mail order
houses, after such statement to be true, pa
trotsm to the local dealer is still matter OF good
sound business judgment. Such featy on the part
of the farmers means that their nearby village
stores continue to thrive, and remain an important
civic center 1t means that the village stores can
remain the center of activity socially as well as
merchandising. The patronage of the farmers IN
any community is the chief supporting force OF the
local village. When the farmers are prosperous
the villagers prosperous. The residents of the
village and the rural community band forces and
obtain better highways, maintain their schools to
high point of efficiency, consider the local cond-
tons in the same honest light that results in ETH
Gent township and county officials being chosen.
The village is the hub of the farming community.
1t is the shipping point we'll as the social center
for the asriculturst. The farmer is not only able
to dispose of his products in convenient manner,
but local dealers are the who really trade for
his wares The village is the seat of the postotlce
whence the rural mail is dispatched to the home of
the farmer The local banker advances the farmer
cash to tide him over. extends a larger loan
when he desires to buy additional land or make
improvements The local physician is within easy
call when the farmer q member OF his family is
stricken The village blacksmith is ready at once
to shoe the farmers horse on a moments notice.
The hardware and the implement dealer are prepar-
ed with emergency repairs for machinery when the
farmer wants such repairs and wants them quickly.
Even the local dentist is more than eager to use
his forceps on an aching tooth. Now, do the mail
order houses afford any of these conveniences!
When farmer once begins on a new method OF
supplying his wants, quitting his support to the To-
cal merchants and starts sending his money to the
mail order merchants in the large cities he is deliv.
ering harder blow to himself than to any one
else Take the village and the village merchants
away from any farming community and the far
mers will decrease and his convenient methods OF
marketing will be thing of memory only Any

resssnburs Breed Noted For MIX
Producing Qualities.
The goat as milk producer has long
had a recognized place In Europe.
There are some breeds Of goats that
are very heavy producers Of milk. Goat
milk Is white in color and contains ~
per cent butter fat on an average ana
somewhat more casein or albumen tnan
cows milk. The fat Is so minutely d.
vided that it does not rise readily as
cream. 1t Is claimed that when mix
from these milk goats Is properly
drawn and cared for there Is no or
fensive odor connected with 1t.
Pure bred milk goats are very scarce
in this country. The department OF
agriculture several years ago took up
the matter Of Introducing goats OF
these special milk breeds and bulie-
tin entitled Information Concerning
the Milk Goat was published by the
department Of agriculture in 1900.
Those interested in the Importation
Of milk goats from Europe have founo
It extremely difficult to secure stock.
The Toggenburg breed Of milk goats
which is raised in the Toggenburg val
ley of Switzerland has been bred there
for centuries. This is a very haroy
breed and probably has been intro
duced into the United States more ex-
tensively than any other milk breed.
Some individuals of this breed have
produced FIVE, six and even seven
quarts of milk daily. The period OF
lactation in the milk goat is about i've
or six months They usually produce
two kids ut the birth. The period OF
CESSATION Is Ave months. as with sheep.

Growing Demand For Animals Pro.
dueed From Draft Mares.
Raising mules for "a definite purpose
man who will give the business the at
tention it deserves. says the National
Stockman Not so many years ago the
raising Of mules was II slipshod indus
try. most Of them coming from in
ferior mares that failed to produce
good horse colts or that were bred on
the not much to lose plan by indifer-
ent owners. or late years. however,
better mares have been sent to Jacks.
and as a result we have better mules
today than ever before. Mules in
creased faster in value during the dec
ade 19OO-191O than did horses.
To produce good mules 1t is neces-
sary to get away from the old idea
that the meaner and the smaller
mule the tougher. Mules that are top
ping the market today come from
strictly high class mares Of good size.
The big draft mare produces an excel
lent heavy mule, and the 200 pound
standard bred mare produces a mule
we'll liked by many because Of his high
quality. The mules reputation is based
to a considerable extent on his stamina
and long wearing qualities. Therefore
high finish. which is generally consid-
cred as an indication Of quality. Is OF
great Importance in mule. He gets
his indications Of high quality largely
from his dam and from his feed. 1t
.akes a big jack to get big mules from
any mare. He should be the best OBJ
tainable.
There is no reason why the next few
years should not see as great an In
crease in the mule industry as has the
past decade. OF course we can never
have as many mules as horses nor
even half as many because Of the way
in which mules are produced. But we
can and should have many more. For
an unskilled and careless teamster they
beat horse every way. They are not
naturally mean or stubborn or-vicious'
The bad ones are made so by careless
or no training. They don't get hurt.
Every mule is a worker and ut Tor
work all the time. Thus they are pop
ular and growing in popularity all the
time

A CAUSE OF BAD
FLAVORs IN BUTTER

Bad flavors in butter come from two
sources. They may be absorbed from
odors, and they may be caused NY the
presence Of bacteria.
Odors may get into the milk In the
barn. coming from the cow. the mixer,
the utensils or from the food or dust,
says the Kansas Industrialist The Sec
ond source is In the milk house, from
the separator or containing vessels.
II the separating Is done in the barn,
90 much the worse for the cream; II
done In the kitchen. food 6avors are
absorbed. The churn is the third
source Of bad flavor. When not prop
erly cared for 1t soon grows musty. A
churn that Is not well cleaned before
and after using affects the taste OF but

Butter churned too soft cannot be
properly washed and so contains
great deal Of buttermilk. Buttermnk

1t is a matter of common knowledge
that sheep do not drink great deal Of
water but few are aware of the fact
that on the Nebo national forest re-
