HIS VIEW OF TIPPING.
1t Was Not the Mere Money That I'm
Old Waiter Craved.


Tips are said to be an evil Of our
times but the man who has TO give
them makes the statement. That vast
number that receives the largest has
probably found it no crime. There is
much to be said on both sides. but !
cannot think that it is n system which
should be. indeed, caa be abolished. for
the giving of Il tip is the recognition
of personal service 1t is the only way
one can thank n man who is MOI. in
his present capacity at least, in the
class of the one who dispenses the coin
And there Is another reason--to argue
FOR the other side-that was most beau
tifully eXcmplifed in story which
came TO me recently.

indoor man one who had attracted her
attention as a most perfect waiter in n

warning church present was not dis
missed until Parson Rice had deliv-
cred a forceful sermon dwelling on
the sin of quarreling.
Here are some of the things which
have been noted especially in the con-
duct of the Emporia police court:
The police are instructed to make
arrests only when absolutely neces.
sary. Use preventive and educational
methods instead of penal.
The man is worth more than his
money. No special attempt is made
to secure revenue by fines. More thar
half the money collected under Judge
Rice has heen in forfeited bonds.
Only six times in nine months have
lawyers appeared before the court for
the accused. The prosecutor is in
reality attorney for both sides.
1t is strictly a court of fact, not OF
suspicion.
Paroles are given to a large per
centage of prisoners.
Not one case has been taken on ap.
peal to a higher court.
Only three persons have been be-
fore the court more than once.
The Judge has used the $45 a month
salary he receives from the city large
ly in helping the law ~violators and
their families. The police courtroom
in the city hall has been newly fur
nished at a cost of 800 to Judge Rice.
Recently Judge Rice in his capacity
Of pastor announced from his pulpit
that if those who had dead trees on
their property would notify him he
would send men to chop them down
for fuel. He made arrangements with
the city to haul the wood free of charge
to the homes of h men who did the
work.

Of the largest number of farmers is
the creamery. This furnishes a con-
slant demand for cream, whether in
large or small quantities. There are
three ways of getting cream to the
creamery or shipping point:
1. Each farmer may haul his own
cream.
2. Farmers in a community may
take turns in hauling their cream
5. A man may be employed to haul
all the cream regularly and each farm
err may pay for this service according
to the amount of ream he sells.
The third method is on the same
principle as the rural free delivery of
mail matter. Under this system the
hauler at regular intervals comes to
the farmers door, gets the cream, and
takes it TO the creamery or shipping
point. The cream is weighed, sam
pied, and poured into a carrying can.
in the wagon. The samples and rec
ords of weights are sent to the cream
cry. Routes may be established close
to the creamery, and the cream deliv-
cred direct, or they may be estab-
lished at distant points and the cream
delivered to a central station for ship
ping to the creamery. Subroutes may
radiate from points on the main route
and thus ream can be collected from
a wide area.
In communities in which interest in
selling cream is just being aroused
and where there is not cream enough
produced to pay for having it collected
each day, the cream can be kept from
day to day and collected twice a week
in winter and three times in summer.
Where this is practiced the farmers
must use ice to keep the cream as. cold
as possible, OF place the cans in spring
or we'll water. Unless extra care is
taken to produce the ear in the
most clearly manner, and unless it is

Most Of the surplus butter from the
farm COW in the South is exchanged
for groceries at the country store. On
ccoun of poor quality, unattractiVe
packages, and irregular supply, the
prices received for this butter are very
low. Bulletins explaining how the
housewife can make good butter and
how to put it into attractive packages
may be obtained without cost by APP
plying to the department of agricul-
ture. Washington, ID. G.
Purchasers of butter like to buy
from persons who can furnish it the
year round. Usually the market for
farm butter is o~versupplied during the
summer season. This is because COWS
generally freshen III the spring and
thus furnish a greater supply Of butter
throughout the summer, when grass
and green feed are abundant, than at
any other time of the C. For this
reason the price of butter is lowest in
summer and highest in winter To
take advantage of these conditions
farmers should have their COWS fresh
en- in the fall; this would tend to
equalize the supply of butter through
out the year
In many cases no great effort is
made to find a good market for the
farm butter. Too often nearby gro
Gerry stores are regarded as the only
market possibility. Boarding houses,
women's clubs, hotels and restau-
rants, and private families, not only
in the home towns but in surrounding
towns. should be canvassed and a sam
pie of the butter exhibited. In this
way a good market for farm butter
may be secured if the butter is of
good quality and car be supplied reg
ularly.
The frequency of delivery will de-
pend upon the demand Of the trade.

kept thoroughly cold at all times, this
method is not advisable.
The shipping of cream compels the
farmer to have a separator. The cost
of the separator is often discouraging
to the man who has only two or three
COWS, and who, but for this expense,
could sell a small amount of cream.
This, however, need not prevent the
purchase of a separator, as some COM
panies sell their machines for a small
cash payment, the remainder to be
paid in monthly Or bimonthly INSTALL
ments. This enables the farmer to let
the cows pay for the separator.
Again, in the case Of several farm
ers living near one another, M sepa-
rator, centrally located, can be used
by all. The central separator offers
a splendid opportunity for land
owners to encourage their tenants
to keep cows. Even If the tenants
have only small quantities of milk. it
will bring more money in the form Of
cream than if the milk were churned
and the butter sold. Carrying the
milk to the separator is also less trou-
BILE than making the butter.
In sections where cream can be mar
keted, routes operated in some such
way as described are to be commend
ed, provided the cream is produced
and handled properly, as they enable
the farmer to procure q steady cash
income from his COWS by providing g
market at his door.

Often the farmer or some member OF
his family can without Inconvenience
deliver the butter to the purchasers.
When those who have butter to sell
a not deliver it to distant purchas-
ers they should investigate the oppor-
t1nities offered by the parcel post
service.
Cream obtained by running the
warm whole milk through a cream
separator is a very convenient form
in which to market the product of
cows. Less equipment and labor are
required for this method than if but
ter is made.
For handling cream it is necessary
to nave a separator, shipping cans,
some appliances for heating water to
wash utensils, and some means for
cooling the cream.
Cream If not properly taken are of
is easily spoiled. Directions for tax
ing the proper care of milk and cream
are described in a circular which is
sent free by the department of agri-
culture.
Since the fat is the most valuable
part, cream is usually sold according
to the pounds of fat it contains. For
determining the percentage of fat In
cream the Babcock test. which is a
simple process, is used. Small sam
pies of cream are tested and the per-
centage of fat shown is multiplied by
the weight Of the cream from which
the sample is taken. For example, If
a sample of cream from q can con-
tanning 40 pounds is found to test IS
per cent. the pounds of butterfat are
found by multiplying 40 by 0.25,
which is ten pounds. The persons
buying the cream generally do the
sampling and testing.
Hotels, restaurants, railroad eating
houses, soda fountains. and ice cream
manufactures offer markets for fresh
sweet cream. Such markets require
a.high class product Of uniform quail
ity and q dependable supply delivered
at regular intervals. This makes it
necessary for farmers who supply
such markets to have good transporta-
ton facilities. !.
