Cooperative creamerie, Paid for
Themselves Last Year
!. Mcclure s. A. !.

Last Monday evening the butter
makers and members of the board of
directors from the cooperative cream
cries of Kandiyohi, Atwater and Lake
Elizabeth met at the new cooperative
creamery at Kandiyohi. A. J. Nc
CURE, State creamery specialist, Co.
Agent Stitts from Meeker County, Co.
Agent Rodegeb Of Kandiyohi county,
the president and fieldman for the
new creamery organization were pres
ent and addressed the meeting. r. c..
Sletten, n. s. Leines of Willmar also
attended the meeting. The purpose of
this meeting was to take up and dis
cuss more satisfactory method of
handling and shipping cooperative
creamery butter in carload lots. In
this way the butter is transported in
a shorter period Of time by avoiding
delays. 1t reaches the market in bet
ter condition therefore scores higher.
Shipments are made more regularly
and by shipping in larger quantities
the business is more attractive for
dealers and buyers. The idea, is to
bring about a uniformity. in color
grade, and quality from the different
creameries as soon as possible. At
the present time a saving of at least
half a cent pound is being made by
c1, 1nfc IN hnr
words on freight alone a creamery
shipping 100000 pounds of butter a
year will save at least $500 a year.
Creamery supplies will also be bot
in carload lots thru the associated
creameries, which will make a con-
siderable saving each year. Each
creamery joining the creamery asso-
citation has a voice in the management
of the affairs. GustafsOn has been
selected as fieldman. He is an ex-
perienced creamery man. He has been
a State Dairy and Food Inspector
and is an expert judge of butter. Prac-
tically every creamery between Will
mar and the Cities is going in on this
proposition.
A. J. MCGUIRE of University Farm,
dairy authority with the agricultural
extension division, says that the CO.
operative creameries of Minnesota
paid for themselves last year in the
increased price which they paid for
butterfat There is no marketing sys-
tenn in the United States, he declares,
equal to the system developed by the
creameries.
The year 1919 will be remembered
as great year for dairy farmers, but
Mr.. MCGUIRE demonstrates that 1920
was even better for cooperative Gre
ameries. Records of the 600 cooper
alive creameries of Minnesota show
that they made about the same am
cunt of butter in 1920 as in 1919.

Abolition Of the Unsiohtly Garbage
Can

Some idea of the spirit of a city
may be obtained from a study of how
it's garbage is handled. No city can
claim to be clean, whose streets or
alleys are lined with open and over
flowing garbage cans, waiting for
some tardy garbage wagon, which
may not come till the next day or two.
Most city ordinances require cover
ed garbage cans and specify the hours
of the day when they may be left at
the curbing, but a great many cities
having such good laws do not enforce
them, and therefore all sorts Of re-
ceptacles may be seen on the curbs at
all hours of the day if the garbage
wagon happens to go by too early or
neglects to empty the can or fails to
go by at all. Garbage left exposed
any length of time in summer is a
menace to the health of the whole
neighborhood. 1t breeds flies and 9th.
err insects, attracts stray dogs, cats,
flies and rats, which find there the
rapidly developing disease germs that
they carry into the homes they visit

Death to Rats.

A study of bariuni carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United States
Department of Agriculture, indicates
that a 20 per cent mixture with food
makes satisfactory bait. With this
percentage a rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three -eighths Of
a meal Of average size to get fatal
dose. 1t was found that with this
dose many Of the rats poisoned died
within "a hours, though an occasional
rat was found which survived an even
larger amount, thus indicating that 100
per cent mortality is not to be expect
ed In any case.
A summary of results of expert
ments conducted by various persons
with a view to determining the dead
liness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
It is pointed out that the fatal dose of
barium per pound tends to decrease
relatively as the size Of the animal in
creases, and that bait calculated to
be fatal to rats may be assumed to be
more or less dangerous to small do
mestic animals also.

JOKE ON MOTHER
Precise Old Lady Convicted Of
Using Slang.
Dictionary Brought Forward to Provo
That Term With Which She Fright
ened Youngsters Was Taboo.

My mother detested slang, says a
writer in Scribner's. The use of slang
expressions was to her something very
closely akin to making up bed with
out properly airing it or going to a
party without clean handkerchief.
When my sister or | used some of
the slang of our day, she used to say
plaintively that she couldn't think
where we got hold of such expressions.
Had anyone said to me then that my
mother used slang | should have been
incredulous ana very likely indignant.
While ! considered my own right TO a
latitude of language inalienahe to my
youth, ! felt, if only subconSciously,
that mothers (and especially mine
who was Of the good Old-faShioned va
riety of genuine mothers) were diff
ferent. One would no more expect
them to use slang than one would eX-
pect them to wear short skirts, or
dance, or ride q bicycle, or want the
largest helping of ice cream. | am
sure if | had heard my mother say
"rubberneck" or 'for the love of
Mike" the sound of such words on
her lips would have Mortified me even
more than they Mortified her when she
heard them on mine.
1t was only recently that the great
revelation came to me Harking back
to my childhood, / had used one of my
mothers favorite words, 'rambunc-
tious,' and was promptly asked what
it meant by person who had not
had the advantage of being brought
up in New England. Surprised at
her ignorance, | explained at once that
it was my mothers word for-well, for
what? l had to put my reluctant brain
to work before l could find words
that gave even faint flavor of what
mother meant when she said: "Now,
you children, you're getting altogether
too rambunctiouS." Not satisfied with
my own definition, I finally sought Mr..
Webster's aid. Rambunctious was not
in the abridged on my desk. When
had turned, .grumbling at the words
they select to leave out of the abridged
to the unwieldy colossus in the
hall, could scarcely believe my knowl-
edge of the sequence of the alphabet.
But careful resurvey failed to find
me tripping. Rambunctious was not
there. The dictionary passed blithely
on from rambler to rameal (the same
as ramal If you must know.
AS l laid the dictionary down a new
light burst upon me. Rambunctious
was not a word in good standing.
What was it, then, but the slang of
an older generation My mother had
used slang.
