Wonders Of Coal Tar.

In the American Magazine Albert

sulphuric acid and alcohol. the basic

of coke-burning. Here il the indus

RESEARCH WORK IN AMERICA
Future Will Witness Wider Applica-
tlon Of Principle Which Has A.
ready Done So Much.

Prophecy is double-edged tool with
a peculiar facility for injuring the user,
but the activity of the present leads
one to predict that each succeeding
year will bring us nearer to the state
In which the research work Of the
country will be national in both scope
and effort.
The federal government and the
states have done and are conducting
research of immense value to agricul.
ture, the foundation of industry; but
the future will witness more general
application Of this principle-an active
national interest in industrial research,
and this will serve as healthy sub
sidy for American manufacturers.
Research has enabled our industries
to make rapid strides. The recogni-
ton of this fact has occasioned re-
cent awakening to an increased sense
of appreciation Of the need Of greater
facilities for insuring the scientific de.
velopment and extension of industry
and commerce and Of promoting indus
trial research.

WESTERN CANADA
cooperative creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows great in
crease in the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. HI also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 50 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase of over l 900, 900 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over 25,O0O
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production Of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,150.444 lbs.
and it brought an average price Of 23c
per h.; of creamery butter $685.. 1857
lbs. were produced which commanded
Zoe per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726,725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as $2,76O,69 in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at $J25 1853
and the cream at $i5S, 1927, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per 1b. and of sweet cream at 32c
per, lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry 1t is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 1870. 1872
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1875 tons; Of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 TONS
The number Of cattle in the province
Is given as 631, OO5, which is an in
crease Of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons Of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons a rate of 271sc per
ID. for butter fat and had profit re-
naming over all expenses Of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61. lit and manu-
featured 256,OOO lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 28A cents.
The development Of the dairy indus
try Of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of prominent
dairy business here, which In 1915 pro-
duced 2,525,OOO lbs. butter, an Increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market in all
parts Of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

The matter OF general education in
this country has reached a point where
more and serious consideration will
have to be given the question of con-
solidation of rural schools.
Or one fact there can be no question,
our country has reached. a period in it's
history when its people must be given
education. Ignorance and illiteracy are
no longer compatible with twentieth
century life.
Every person at all familiar with
conditions under which the country
schools are maintained, knows that un-
der these conditions it is absurd to
even hope that child may obtain a
competent education therein. With a
school house to every two or three miles
of territory, dividing up the attendance
and multiplying the number of teachers
two unavoidable consequences result
terms are shortened and inferior teach
ers are employed.
~
observers, that to attain to any profi
cheney in teaching, the person must
choose this as his or her life work, and
must labor to equip themselves for cf
ficient service. To this end there must
| be sufficient inducement. The utter
absur'lity of three or four months
|
ing that inducement, is plain to all.
| One of the greatest possible detri
ments to the proper education of
child is an incompetent teacher, an,
that the conditions just described ar
fast flooding the land with lot of in
competents is plain to all. And tn
child is the sufferer. Where he shoul,
be rightly and thoroughly grounded il
The Blackfoot optimist., 1916-11-30
HOPE

Mount the ladder Of experience firmly,
Stay not to look behind,
For he who falters has lost his day,
And the world sweeps up behind.
Keep plodding, ever plodding,
With eye and ear atune,
To the glimmering light of fading
Twill lead you safely home.
Our hopes are on the mountain tops,
Our fears are in the tomb,
We rise to light on weafied wings,
We loaf down to the tomb.
'Tis only by long and weary days,
We gain the. thing called "hope,
Then clasp its hand and step beyond
The portal of life short day.
'Tis life to live, It's death to die,
We loiter and play till noon,
Then catch the glimpse of fading
hope,
'Tis mortal to hope and die.
II. G.. Bond.
The Blackfoot optimist., 1916-11-30

all the different branches, in reality he
frequently has but an imperfect, and
sometimes even wrong groundwork
to build on, the results of which are
seen i'll the woefully inefficient lives
of so many of our people.
Again, it is too plain even for argu
ment, that no community can educate
its children on four and six months :
terms of school. Practically the entire
accumulations of the short term are for
gotten during the long vacation.
There are, then, two indisputable re-
quisites to the proper education Of our
rural population-competent instruct
ors and school terms sufficiently long.
OF course, in the densely populated dis
tricts, schools can be maintained of sui
| ficient size to guarantee the length of
term, as this depends almost entirely
on the per capita, and given the term,
with an adequate salary, the competent
teacher is easily secured and the chill
F., dren g best interests conserved.
But in the sparsely settled districts
this is not the case, and here arises the
imperative need of consolidation-re-
ducing the number of schools, thereby
increasing the funds available for each
thus insuring the desired results of a
longer term and more competent teach
ers.
AS to just how consolidation may best
be accomplished, must be left almost
entirely to local conditions to determ
inc. The public conveyance plan is
working we'll in many sections. The
development of good roads is also hay
ing beneficial effect and aiding il
the solution. But as we stated, thi
is entirely a local question and must b,
worked out locally.
The important point is that the peo
pie be brought to see the absolute ne
cessity for sufficient consolidation o
+. our schools to accomplish the desire,
results. Given this conviction, we hav
no fears but the solution of the prob
lem of ways and means will be worke,
out.

THE FARMERS FRIEND BROKE

Leo Lewis, otherwise known as "Dol-
lar Bill, - the farmers friend, has closed
his doors and quit Idaho Falls again.
Last Wednesday evening Lewis ;
creditors held meeting IN Pocatello
and to these creditors Lewis made an
assignment of considerable of his hold
ings with the idea tnat his liabilities
would not go beyond that amount.
Early the next morning Mr.. Lewis
went before the court and made decla-
ration in bankruptcy which in so doing
cut off a considerable amount of re-
sources which the creditors had sup
posed were coming to them.
The liabilities now stand in the
neighborhood of 100000 and the cred
itors may not receive even 33 cents on
the dollar.--Tdaho Falls Post.
