The production of butter in 1909
was worth to producers over $4OO, ,OOO,-
600. More than half Of all the butter
produced in this country is dairy but
ter. This finds market in the gro
Gerry stores; in private families; and,
finally through commission houses. Of
| the several methods of marketing
employed by creameries the "sales on
contract" is declared to be the most
popular. Factories using this method
have contract, or at least an under
standing more or less binding, with
one or more firms or merchants as
to the price they are to receive for
the butter. This contract price is
based on the official quotation Of some
market. Others are still marketing
their product through commission
houses, and still others have local
or home trade. The prevailing butter
prices are given wide publication.
However, the farmers have no infiu-
ence in the establishment of these
prices, it is asserted, nor have they
any means of knowing whether or
not the prices quoted are artificial or
out of harmony with existing market
conditions. The report calls atten-
tion to an attempt at cooperative
marketing of butter made by num-
ber of creameries in Minnesota, but
so far as is known, it is stated, little
or no good has come from it. Com
menting on this venture in Minnesota
the Department of Agriculture has
this to say: "No doubt the difficulties
in the way of success of such an
undertaking are, first, lack of busi-
ness experience upon the part of the
farmers and their creamery mana
gers; second, insufficient capital;
third, a natural disinclination upon
the part Of the farmers to cooperate
with one another" !
In the opinion of the Department

mattel the various stages in the
journey of the egg, with certain
amount of deterioration in each step.
During the last few years the "loss
of" system Of buying eggs has been
gaining foothold. By this system
the eggs are candled and paid for
according to quality. 1t is stated
that this system is much better for
the producer for the reason that the
low value Of the inferior eggs does
not affect the price received for the
first-class ones. In few sections of
the country producers sell eggs CO.
operatively. The Barnum Creamery
company, at Barnum, Minnesota, has
been using this method of marketing
eggs, as a side line to the butter
business. Another is the Hickory
Creamery company, at Hickory. N. c:

in spite Of all that man can do to
stop the use of intoxicants as bev'
erage its consumption more than
keeps apace with the increase OF
population. 1t is apparently one Of
the fixed elements that man must
avoid or become lost in Its embrace
as surely as he would be lost II at

The attempts of man to legislate

as successful as were primitive mans

The first temperance organization
we can find any record of started In
this country, at Moreau, Saratoga
county, New York, with member
ship of 43. The members tried to
apply a twenty-five cent penalty up
on themselves "for drinking any
rum. gin. whiskey, wine, or any dis.
titled spirits, or compositions Of the
same, or any Of them, except by the
advice of physician. or in case Of
actual disease, also excepting at pub.
lie dinners, provided that this ar.
ticle shall not infringe on any re-
ligious rite" This organization dated
its first meeting April, 1908.
And here we see the child-mind at
work again, fining themselves the
paltry sum of twenty-five cents for
self-intlicted alcoholic wound. And,
as it is today. the ones addicted to
drink looked to foreign agencies to
be saved. Then, as now, their only
salvation rested in self-reliance, and
the movement took another turn.
The unfortunate ones and their
friends sought to prohibit the sale
of alcohol as a beverage. This idea
seemed SO plausible as means to
the end sought that without second
thought the movement caught many
in its wave.
As 4 political movement it won its
first victories between the years 1851
and 1855, during which period pro-
hibition laws were enacted in Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont. Rhode Is.
land, Connecticut and Michigan. All
these states excepting Maine later re-
pealed their temperance laws, as they
learned that law failed to check the
of intoxicants.

To the Editor Of The Bryan Eagle:
Dear Sir-At the request of our pas
tor | enclose herewith a short account
of the origin of the First Presbyterian
Church of Bryan, Texas. This church
was long known simply as the Pres
