our per cent milk.

The home market for cheese is a
big item. A very small per cent of
the cheese consumed in Montana is
manufactured here in the state. For
this reason there is splendid home
market for all the cheese that can
be made. The fact that the quality
of our home product is superior to
any that comes in from the outside
gives the home factories decided
advantage on competitive market
and enables the factory to pay the
farmer we'll for his milk. The de-
partment of dairy husbandry of the
State College of Agriculture at Boze-
man is receiving many inquiries rela-
tive to the organization and opera
ton of cheese factories. There are
excellent prospects of large number
being started this spring.-G. L.

dry, Montana experiment station.

100 to 200 cows, where it will require
the cream from at least 400 cows to
operate a creamery. For this reason
a cheese factory can be built and op-
Grated successfully in many commun-
tiles in Montana where a creamery
would fail from lack of cream. The
factory at .Salesville, Mont, operated
last year on about $500 pounds of
milk per day-the product of about
1875 cows.
Another advantage for the cheese
factory is the higher prices paid the
farmers for butter fat during the
summer months when creameries are
obliged to pay the summer prices.
The following is the relative price
per pound of butter fat creamery
would have to pay to equal the price
received at a cheese factory, based on
four per cent milk.

not cost much over 5000. The entire
equipment for factory that will
handle the product of 500 cows can
be had for less than 5000 and the
total cost Of factory should not ex-
ceed $500. In building creamery,
the equipment alone will cost at least
$500, as there is far more machin-
cry required for the refining of
cream, the churning and storage of
butter.

CUMNINS SENTIMENT GROWING

11eleld, MOlll., MAJ Ci So.-A Hot
sentiment among Montana Republi
cans is crystallizing in favor of nomi-
mating Albert B. Cummins for presi-
dent is growing more and more evil
ent each day from the mass of let
ters received at the Cummins head
are coming from every section of the
state, representing all shades of opin-
ion held by progressives and stand
patters, and without exception ex-l
press the hope of uniting the party
on the eminent Iowa statesman as
the Republican standard bearer in the
coming campaign.
Through the stacks of correspon-
dence shown to press representative
today by o. NJ. Harvey, Chairman OF
the Committee runs an optimistic
tone of belief that Cummins was the
most available man of the country
whom all republicans regardless of
past fractional differences, could sup
port without apology or surrender
of political ideals, and whose nomina-
tion would give the reunited party
leadership that would restore it to
supremacy and power in November.
Letters from standpatters and pro-
gressives alike were agreed on this
point and emphasized it strongly.
4 Selecting at random few of the
letters on file at the Cummins head
quarters, one read:
Cummins is man of great mental
force. of keen and well disciplined
intellect, having had abundant exper-
ience with men and public affairs
and is student and worker. He is
we'll grounded in all that pertains to
American institutions, understanding
the legal questions and able to apply
them properly, firm believer in
American nationality, not as exped-
lent but as the very essence of Ameri-
canism. He is in hearty sympathy
with the best aspirations of the COM
mon people and above either class
or sectional determinations one who
lieves that governments are main
tanned to serve the people; one who
believes that the people includes all
men and women and children"
In another letter it was stated that
: "Cummins was developed to his pre-
: sent towering strength through much
] toll, physical and mental, and gained
/ the equipment which he has for public
5 5 service by years of doing the thing.
s which the people believe ought to b'

y In still another letter Cummin
is held to be "the ideal man in thi

It used to be said a few years ago
that the county fair as an institution
was on the decline in the United
States. But the county fair seems to
be Coming back" and coming back
strong. The annual report of the
County Fair Managers association,
lust published, shows that 1915 was
a banner year. There was hardly
a fair in the United States which did
not show a profit to the agricultural
society or association which man.
aged it. And as to the state fairs,
they were record breakers. Kansas
made the experiment of "free gate"
and the experiment was success,
for, in spite of the continual rain, the
attendance was the largest in years.
Several reasons are given for the
general success Of all fairs. The al
most universal use of the automobile
and the consequent ease with which
the farmer and his family can get
from one part of the county, see the
fair and get back the same day, is
one reason advanced. But the real
reason, and the encouraging sign of
modern trend is the fact that the
farmer has awakened to the fact that
the county fair can teach him some
thing and he is eager to learn. The
old-fashioned, hide-bound agricultur-
list, the "joy" Of the comic papers,
the "hayseed" of the stage has dis
appeared and in his place has come
a shrewd business man. alive to i'm
provements, willing to learn new and
better ways and ready to put mod
ern methods to the test. He is the
prosperous farmer Of today, the man
the banker is ready to back and the
man who sees in the county fair a
chance to learn something which will
improve his condition in life.

tional Republican Convention in Chi
cago next June. The statewide pri-

there is opportunity for presenting
the facts squarely to the people, and
the people have the right to act for
themselves, there is approval of Cum
Minis as a candidate.

REV. DR.. ABRAM simon
FOR Larger SALARIES
Says Federal Employees Should Have
Received Increase n Years Ago.

The interest that has been manifested
in the campaign for higher wages for
Federal employees continues to increase
in strength.
Rev. DIR. Abram Simon, of the wasn-
ington Hebrew Congregation, expressed
himself, in an interview granted The
Washington Herald, last night, in terms
of strong approval. He said that in
creases should have been granted twen-
ty-one years ago. But it is good in
dication of the growth of genuine in
terest in behalf of Washington's toiIers
to have the matter brought up at this
time, he said.
Il give my wholehearted Endorsement
to the project" he declared, because
it is but just and right. Our people
have more than they can bear in the
increased high cost of living. Tragedies
are daily being brought to the surface.
and many more stories of suffering and
need could undoubtedly be disclosed
Il would protest with all the manhood
within me against any unnecessary de-
lay or setting aside of the legislation
which is now promised. 1t means hope
fullness and happiness to SO many that
trust it will speedily be consumated" d"

but an unofficial poll shows that the Fed,
eral workers have enough friends to in

with the first general salary revision
made in fifty years.
Two-Year Raise Proposed.
One Of the big Democratic leaders of
the House has suggested to representa-
tives Of the employees that the increased
salary schedule be offered as an emerg-
ency measure. with the understanding
that the salaries be put back to the pres
ent standard at the end of two years II
was suggested that all members cannot
deny that prices are high because Of the
European war and that salaries should
be revised to meet them.
When the proposal was outlined at an
informal meeting of the various dele
cations working for higher salaries, It
was unanimously turned down.
I'VE would rather go along at our
present salaries than have them ad-
vanced for two years and then put back
on the old SCALE" was the sentiment of
the committees.

four SENATORS URGE
U.S. wage INCREASES
Lee. Shafroth. Stone and Walsh in
Favor of Pay Raise.

Il am in favor of any form Of legisla-
ton that will provide an increase in sal
aries for the underpaid government en-
ployes," declared Senator Blair Lee, of
Maryland. chairman Of the Committee on
Coast Defenses, yesterday IAN increase,
especially for those who receive the
smaller salaries. has been needed for
some time. 1t is just measure, and is
In line with an entirely obvious business
trend everywhere. am very much
pleased to see that The Washington Her
aid has taken this matter up, and the
employees may count on my support when
the measure comes up before Congress "
Senator Shafroth, of Colorado, a MEM
ber OF the Committee on Appropriations,
also believes there is need for increasing
the salaries of the least paid employees.
but does not advocate a general increase.
There is no doubt" he said, that the
employees who receive small salaries need
an increase to enable them to meet the
high cost of living, but do not favor a
general increase. There are several pro-
posed plans for legislation to give the
employees an increase-the Nolan bill,
the horizontal plan. and the percentage
plan-but which of these will make the
most favorable impression. IL any of
them does, am not prepared to say"
Senator Stone, of Missouri. chairman of
the Committee on Foreign Relations.
thinks some of the employees need an in
crease. but does not favor a general in
crease.
L am not in favor of a horizontal in
crease, or anything like that at all, de
clared the Senator. Some OF the en-
ployes, those who receive less than 81, 500,
should get more. but everybody does not
need an increase"
Senator Walsh, of Montana, chairman
of the Committee on Mines and Mining,
thinks there is a need for some increases
among the lower paid clerks.
The government should pay enough to
enable a person to live in these days of
the high cost of living" he said. Il have
not been able to give much attention to
the matter on account of the press of
Western affairs. but | think that there
is need for increases among the smaller
salaried EMPLOYEES"
