BUTTER PRODUCED ON FARMS
Amount Is Continually Decreasing Ac-
cording to Investigation Made
i'm Wisconsin.

An Investigation made in Wisconsin
shows that the amount of butter pro-
duced in the farm dairy is continually
decreasing and what is produced is
generally sold direct to the consumer.
The market butter is made in the 1876
creameries of the state, 45 per cent of
which are owned comparatively by the
farmers. An important feature is that
the cooperative creamerieS are the
most successful. They pay the farmer
more for his butter fat, pay the but
termaker higher wages, and sell the
product for higher price.
It costs Leg cents per pound of but
terfat to get the cream to the cream
cry and 2.33 cents to make a pound of
butter The shipping charges vary
from OBS to 1.25 cents per pound, de-
pending upon the distance from the
market. The investigation brought out
the interesting fact that for every
pound of butter sold to the consumer
the farmer received two-thirds of the
money and the retailer one-tenth.

Old Temples" of New Mexico.

Quaint Spanish architecture in the
"land of POGO TEMPO" New Mexico,
never loses it's charm. The early Span
iards were devout Catholics and their
converts, the Indians, never failed to
erect houses of worship at their direc-
ton. Many of them are nearly four
hundred years old and still in use.
One at Tipa, N. NJ, still shelters the
devout Mexicans of the Taos valley in
their weekly worship. The temples"
of the Mexicans before the arrival of
the Span;lrds were great pyramids
upon which hecatombs of human vic
tins were sacrificed to the Aztec and
Toltec gods, particularly to the gods
of the corn and growing vegetation.
The victims were usually prisoners of
war and slaves. For a certain period
they were treated as kings and queens
until the fatal day when they were led
to execution on the top of the pyramid
where the heart was cut out of the
quivering breast with q stone.

ably. In fact he had as good as prom

Mrs. Frank had had variety of ex-
oeriences, but believed she had round
ed up at least three embryo soldiers.
1t was voted to continue the work.
The president, Miss Ann Welby, had
rather the most promising record of
them all. But the officers at the re-
cruiung stations were yet to be heard
from as to actual results.
At the handsome home of Frank
Townley Ann Welby met with a kind
reception. She was shown into a
pleasant library and asked to wait.
Presently middle-aged gentleman en-
tered. Ann Welby at once classified

She noted the fine brow, the dark,
penetrating eyes, the slightly gray and
abundant hair that lent an air of dis
tinction to the face. He told her the
immediate family were all out, that
he was a relative and guest, but that
he would be pleased to convey any
message she would like to leave But
there was something compelling about
the mans personality. Ann seemed
obliged to stay and comply with his
request. He did not quite agree with
her views regarding the present situa-
ton and spirited discussion followed
Ann had a deeply grounded respect for
logic and reason She had always
tried to be fair-minded and just, and
could never be accused of being a
'shysterical female" She was capable
of calmly weighing evidence, so she
fairly reveled in an argument Her
elder sister, who was Incapable OF fol-
lowing the discussion, always accused
Ann of getting excited and angry, but
the keener intellect knew she was only
enthusiastic in defense of her posi-
ton.

The japanese Bed Cross.

Marquis Okuma has called attention
to what he terms the comparative in
activity of the japanese Red Cross in
the present war. He says it could do q
great deal more by offering its serv-
ices in the belligerent countries.
The japanese Red Cross is supposed
to be the wealthiest and strongest or
ganfzation of its kind in the world. Its
membership roll is almost 100000. In
1913 it possessed II hospitals and a
medical corps of 3,7S5 physicians,
pharmacists and nurses Its capital
fund amounted to $12,OOO,OOO. and its
real property was value5 at much
more. The receipts of the society are
far in excess of the expenditure In the
early period of the war, relief corps
were dispatched to England, France
and Russia, but they have since re-
turned to Japan The society has done

REMOVING HORNS ON CALVES
Application of caustic Potash When
Animal Is Two or Three Days
Old Is Satisfactory.

Horns on calves may be removed
by an application of caustic potash.
When the calf is two or three days
old, clip the hair from the spot where
the horn buttons protrude. Moisten
the end of a wrapped stick of caustfc
potash and rub on the horn. Care
should be taken to see that all Of the
horn is removed in order to prevent the
growth of scurs. The calf should not
be turned out into the rain immedi-
ately after the operation, as the caus-
tic preparation may wash down into
the eyes and injure them. Caustic pot
ash should be kept in an alright con-
tainer or it will absorb water and dis
solve.-Wisconsin College Of Agricul-
ture.

We are beginning to question

SALT IS OFTEN ovERL ooKED
All Animals That Consume Large
Quantities Of Vegetable Matter
Require Some Salt.

An important item that is often over
looked in the management of dairy
cows is providing them with plenty Of
salt. All animals that consume large
quantities of vegetable food require
salt. Unless cows receive plenty Of
salt they win cease to thrive, and viii
therefore decrease In milk flow. Some

Miss Welby saw in the faces of those
present that the proposition was not

One member arose and said she

willing to help in any other way. But
going unlimited into peoples homes,
and telling them their duty, or urging
them to be good enough to go and get
killed was rather stretching the de-
mands of patriotism.
Other members jumped up and said
they thought 1t a splendid idea, and
it was plainly their duty to follow
their presidents advice. A spirited
discussion followed. The consensus of
opinion was that the house-to-house
solicitation would be a very disagree
able thing to do, but that their duty as
patriots demanded the sacrifice of per-
sonal feelings. So the motion was car
ried.
The next meeting disclosed some in
teresting experiences Miss Pearson
had in two places met with threats
and insult. One mother whose son was
her sole support told her if she men
toned enlisting to her boy she would
nave her tarred and feathered. In
vain Miss Pearson informed her that
in such cases the mother would be
looked after. She barely escaped as
Sault from the end of a broom. At
another house an elderly man ex-
planned that while he was exempt he
would like to call on her and talk it
over. Miss Pearson made an excuse
of being very busy, and fed.

FEEDING THE SWEET TOOTH

A recent report issued by the De-
partment Of Commerce is devoted TO
the growth Of American confection-
cry industry and its figures are some
what surprising. II shows that in iS49
less than 400 establishments were in
operation, with a capital slightly ex-
ceeding $l,O0O,0OO. The value Of
their products was in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000 a year. and this
on the basis of population Of 49,
100000, meant an annual expendi-
ture Of thirteen cents a head
Today, according to the govern
ment statistics, the industry EN-
braces over $500 establishments, rep
rcsents the investment II $4,000
900. and produces yearly conccctions
Of various sorts having a value Of
{ 75.OO0,O00. . the basis " n pop
ulation Of l02, 900. 900 this means n
net expenditure Of $3.50 a head for
every man, womanand child in the
United States. These figures repre-
sent an increase Of 52i per cent. in
the number of establishments for the
period Of sixty-seven years and one
of $40 per cent. in the value of pro-
ducts. In the census returns the
classification of confectionery" COW
ers the manufacture of all kinds Of
candy and CONNECTIONS, cake orna-
ments, popcorn balls or cake, chew
ing gum. sailed nuts, stuffed dates,
etc, but not the operations Of estab-
lishments making primarily choco-
late, cocoa and similar products.
which are classified under the census
designation Of chocolate and cocoa
products" Prior to 1899 the statis-
ties for the industry included the re-
turns of the numerous small retail
makers Of confectionery, which ac-
counts for the great decrease in the
number Of establishment between
1889 and 1898.
The statistics show that the Amer
lean consumer prefers American
made candy to imported confections;
the imports have never been large.

DEATH CAUSES SORROW

Monday morning relatives and
friends bowed their heads in grief
when the news flashed over the wires
from Crab Orchard stating that Mr..
Joe B. Willis, the popular manager
of Crab Orchard Springs, had died
that morning at 7:45 o'clock at his
home in that place.
Mr.. Willis had been in poor health
for several years, but was amply able
to look after his business affairs I'M
til about two weeks ago, when he be-
came seriously i'll and grave fears
were entertained for his recovery. A
large carbuncle appeared on his neck
just behind his ear, which caused
him untold suffering and primarily
the cause of his death.
Deceased was one of the most
prominent and popular men in this
section of the State. Some years ago
he assumed the management of the
hotel at Grab Orchard Springs, and
so courteously and kindly did he and
his estimable wife treat their guests
that the popularity of this great sum-
mer resort grew by leaps and bounds
and became one of the greatest wa
tering places in the country. "Pa"
and ma" Willis, as they were ad-
dressed, were known from the lakes
to the gulf, and from the east to the
west.
Joe B. Willis was born in Madison
county, Kentucky, in December,
1S4S, He was the youngest of elev-
en- children and the last surviving
member of once large and happy
family. He was married early in life,
many, many years ago, to Miss Pattie
DeJarnette, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James DeJarnette. prominent
citizens and long since deceased. At
one time Mr. Willis was sheriff of
Madison county, and for a number
of years was postmaster of Rich
mond. He was honorable and upright,
kind and courteous to everybody,
and everyone who knew him was his
devoted and loyal friend, and his
death has caused much sorrow in this
community.-Richmond Climax-Mad
