farm cow in the South is exchanged large or small quantities. There are
for groceries at the country store. On three ways of getting cream to tba
account of poor quality, unattractive
packages, and irregular supply, the
prices received for this butter are very
low. Bulletins explaining how the
boutsett ife can make good butter and
how to put it into attractive packages
may be obtained without cost by ap-
plying to the department of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C.
Purchasers of butter like to buy
from persons who can furnish it the
year round, t'sually the market for
farm butter is oversupplied during the
summer season. This is because cows
generally freshen In 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 year. For this
reason the price of butter is low-est in
creamery or shipping point:
1. Each farmer may haul his own
cream.
2. Farmers In a community may
take turns in hauling their cream.
3. A man may be employed to haul
all the cream regularly and each farm-
er may pay for this service according
to the amount of cream 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
Gentlemen of the RepuWican party,
when you charge American business

cratic policies you dodge some facts
and misrepresent others. What act-
ually happened may be summarized
thus:
The last half of 1913 saw a general
drought in the 1'nited States and a
severe money stringency in Europe.
As a result, in the first eight months
of 1914 foreign nations diminished
their purchases from us by the enor-
mous sum of $204,000,000, during a pe-
riod in which, though we reduced our
importations of manufactures by $4,-

market possibility. Hoarding houses,

in the home towns but in surrounding
towns, should be canvassed and a sam-

way a good market for farm butter
may be secured if the butter is of
good quality and can be supplied reg-
ularly.

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, or place the cans in spring

More Evidences of Prosperity.
During the last few days 20 lead-
ing stocks on the New York market
made an average gain of $3.14 per
share.
The Bethlehem Steel corporation s
annual report, just issued, shows that
the company earned 37^ Per cent
on Its preferred stock during 1914.
The earnings would permit the pay-
ment of the full dividend allowed the
preferred stock, and still leave more
than 30 per cent to be distributed to
holders of common stock. Instead of
makln'g this use of the funds, how-
ever, the company is enlarging its
plant out of earnings—a sure sign ot
still greater business ahead.
If any such record had been made
during a Republican administration,
under present world conditions, the
whole land would have rung with
"peans of prosperity" by the tariff
grafters' chorus. It is too much to ex-
pect those singers to yodel for any
but their own side, but, at least, they
should have the decency to stop
calamity howling in the face of such
multiplied proofs of good times.
How Business Is Looking Up.
Exports of breadstuffs from this
country from July 1, 1914, to March 1,
1915, amounted to $357,091,823—more
than three times as much as was ex-
Murrycross, Ala.—The following is
from Mrs. W. J. Daugherty, this place:
"I will write a full statement of my
condition before I had taken Cardui
I was very weak. I had not any nerve
at all and could not stand any noise,
and bad female complaints.
At last my doctor told me to try
Cardui and I did so, and I can say, it
sure has cured me sound and well, and
am glad to tell anyone what it did for
me, and it will help any suffering
woman.
I can't praise Cardui enough. I wish
every woman would believe w-hat I say
and give Cardui a trial, and they will
find my word to be true.
Cardui Is all I take in the way of
medicine. We always keep it in the
house for my benefit
When I was told to try Cardui I did
not think I would, but my friends kept
on at me until I got one bottle, and it
did me so much good that I kept on
taking It.
My back has got well, my nerve Is
all right and my old tired feeling has
gone, and I am stout and strong as a
woman can be. I am glad to say it-
was Cardui that I can praise for my
health."
Your druggist sells Cardui. Try it.

Absent Minded.
Everything—in the professor's eyes
—depended upon this last test. His
work of research for years was now
about to either prove a success or a
failure.
To the P. the air seemed electri-
fied, and he had success in view when
he heard the familiar step of a doctor
acquaintance approaching.
"Well, what is it, old man? Can't
you see I'm frightfully busy?"
A smile broke over the doctor's
face.
"It's a bonnie boy, sir—a little son
and heir."
"All right—all right!" irritably
growled the professor, whose thoughts
were far removed from the outside
world. "Be so good as to send him
away, but ask him what he wants pes-
tering round here at this unearthly
hour, will you?"
Profuse explanations follow.

Gets Job; Dies First Day.
John J. Cullen had been out of
work since January. Almost every
day he had applied for work from the
contractors building a bridge across
the Passaic river between Belleville
and Arlington, N. J.
An extra man was needed and the
contractors put Cullen to work.
Pleased at getting a job, he worked
with zest until noon. As he was leav-
ing the bridge for lunch he fell into
the water a few feet from shore.
The water was shallow. Cullen
rose to his feet and staggered to
shore. Then he dropped again. When
men reached him he was dead. He
was thirty-five years old, and lived
at 216 Cleveland avenue. Harrison.
Marital Diplomacy.
Plur.ger—I felt awfully sorry for a

He lost five thousand on cotton and
all the boys were guying him, and as
he started off home they taunted him

would land on him roughly. The poor
chap acted as though he felt pretty
bad about it.

Poor fellow! No doubt he used his

with a broken leg and a bruised head.
But they weren't worrying him most.
There in the morning paper was the
whole story of one too many Joy rides,
chorus girls and all, staring from
page 1.
His wife—he knew her too well.
Even while he pictured the scene
in the divorce court, she came in, stiff
and cold and threatening, the telltale
paper clutched in a trembling hand.
"Well?" she demanded accusingly.
Then came his inspiration.
"Lucretia!" hs whispered, reaching
toward her, in spite of the pain his
movements gave him. "1—I thought
the automobile was a jitney bus, and
before I discovered the difference, it
whizzed away with me, and—"
She interrupted him with a wild
cry.
"Oh, Jonathan! I knew you couldn't
have done anything so absurd!"
Manlike, he forgave her.—Judge.

separator is a very convenient form
tn 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 have a separalor, shipping cans,
some appliances for heating water to
wash utensils, and some means--- for
cooling the cream.
Cream if not properly taken care of
is easily spoiled. Directions for tak-
ing the proper care of milk and cream
are described in a circular which is
bent free by the department of agri-
culture.
Since the -fat is the moBt valuable
part, cream is usually sold according
to the pounds of fat it contains. For
determining -the percentage of fat in
cream the Babcoek test, which is a
simple process, is used. Small sam-
ples 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 a can con-
taining 40 pounds is found to test 25
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
tampling and testing.
Hotels, restaurants, railroad eating
houses, soda fountains, and ice cream

ity and a dependable supply delivered

purchase of a separator, as some com
panies sell their machines for a small j
cash payment, the remainder to be |
paid in monthly or bimonthly install-
ments. This enables the farmer to let
the oows pay for the separator.
Afealiv, in the case of several farm-
ers living near one another, one sepa-
rator, centrally located, can b"e used j
by all. The central separator offers j
a splendid opportunity for land- I
owners to encourage their tenants j
to keep cows. Even If the tenants |
have only small quantities of milk, it I
will bring more money In the form of ,
cream than If the milk were churned 1
and the butter sold. Carrying the j
milk to the separator Is also less trou-
ble than making the butter.
In sections where cream can be ma - ;
keted, routes operated in some sucn ^
wav as described are to be commend-
ed, provided the cream Is produced
and handled properly, as they enable j
the farmer to procure a steady cash |
income from his cows by providing a
market at his door.
time, wheat prices are holding a high
level, stocks of all sorts are climb-
ing back to the place they maintained
before the war broke.
The net result of all these factors—
and scores of unmentloned ones—is
bound to be prosperity, in spite of
war and in spite of the sullen opposi-
tion of "interests" which hope to get
back their old tariff graft by the help
of hard times.
Where He Is Needed.
While everybody will regret that

national questions pending President
Wilson Is unable to take a well-earned

the Panama exposition this month. It
is also true that everybody will feel
more secure with his skilled hand at

Early Start for Strawberries.
Strawberry plants, like fruit trees,
should be set at the earliest possible ]
moment In spring The variety select- ■.
ed should be one that has proved good :
in your locality; If you experiment j
with new varieties let it be on a small j
scale. Remember, too, that the vari-
ety recommended as a good shipper is
not the best for home use. Some of ]
the most delicious berries are too soft
to stand shipping, but cannot be ex-
celled for home consumption.
