OUR MILK CHURCH.

Devoted to the Dairy!** later* eata of Jdaper Coaaty.

A Freaeettiew. We have heard a proposition put in this way:. That if it would pay to dairy where land is worth 5100 per acre, it will certainly pay where it is worth from 125 to 150 per acre. Now this may be a true statement, but we are inclined to think that dairying does not follow cheap lands. In fact there is more dairying on high priced land than on low. The time was when dairying could not have been introduced in this county under any circumstances. People could raise large crops of corn, cut wild hay. summer their cattle for 25 cents per month, winter them for 55 per head, making the total cost of keeping a steer 57 or ** for one year. They could be sold at an advance over cost and keeping of 55 to 510, all of which could be done without much care or attention. But now this is all being changed, land all fenced up. pasture high priced, crops poor, necessarily making high prices for feed. Two things will have to be done: Ist, our land will have to be enriched. 2nd, we will have to turn our attention to that kind of fanning that will build up the land. There is nothing that we can do that will be better for this purpose than dairying. Especially when we take into account that the business is in its infancy and, not like other branches of farming already developed, we have before us sometiling to work for. A business that is not likely to be over done soon.

Now, this is the golden opportunity which the enterprising farmer, who takes advantage of these opportunities, should emerge into this ever-growing branch of farming, and when spring opens up he has everything in “apple pie order” to reap a rich harvest from his milk crop. In what other way can a farmer convert his hay and grain into money to a better advantage? Tais is no experiment, but the testimonials of one hundred farmers in this county will verify it. The most prosperous farming communities in any section of the country are those engaged in dairying, in connection with the other lines of farming. Don’t wait then for your neighbor but act.

Old-Time Barns.

American Cultivator. There is some difference between the modern barns, m which the manure never freezes and cattle never shiver, and those ancient structures with cracks between the boards through which the wind could enter freely, and in which one needed to chop the manure up with an axe before it could be shoveled out. This difference means that a less amount of food is needed to keep up the animal heat, that more milk can be produced for more months in the year, and that the farmer can milk and care for his stock without suffering from the cold. Again, he is more apt to be thorough about it than he would be if it was zero weather in the barn. We know of modern barns in which water would not freeze in our coldest nights, yet that are so well ventilated that there is no disagreeable odor in them or to be imparted to the milk. Those who have such barns make money farming and enjoy the business at the same time. On the other hand, we know of some barns so different in construction and detail that those who work in them hate the milk business and the cows as well, declaring that there is no protic in the business. And, finally, we should think the cows would hate the one who owns them.

The Outlook.

While prices for butter are 1 »\ver now than com aon foi* this time m the year aul have been f.»r tue cist two mo iths. yet the signs indicate more favorable in the near future. (Should this prove to be. so, and the price of hogs keep up. the chances for prod's in dairying will be good .e are inclined to think the patrons of the creag-iry di not raiseenongh hogs. This certainly is a in >st important part of dairying. Jasper county should be the banner county for hogs, almost entirely free from disease, within twelve hours of a good maikot. requiring but small capital to begin with, and when fed milk, require but little corn, comparatively speaking, to fit them for market. We feel sure that those who have fed hogs the past summer and this winter jaave realized from their return

milk at least one dollar per hundred. It doesn't matter so much if we have to take a small price for our our butter sometimes, if we have the hogs to help out. The past year has been profitable to all who made good use of their return milk. The company will do all they can to help the patrons along. They have in the past done a great deal more than the contract calls for, and will continue to do so.

It is the duty of every person engaged in the merchantile business. as well as professional to do all in their power to encourage the dairying interests in this county. When a farmer comes into your place of business, talk to him about it, encourage him as much as possible and be ever ready to encourage membership in the Milk Church. Our creamery, at present, is the pride of our city. It brings in a monthly revenue which would be brought in no other way. It induces farmers from other localities to move in our midst and thus settle up our county. From the fact that almost all other creameries in this locality have failed, while this stands in the front rank shows that we have the kind of farmers here who have the backbone to build up an institution which will be the foremost of its kind in the state. These facts should stimulate every business man and induce him to take such an interest in this institution as will add greatly to its welfare.

Don't forget the monthly meeting the first Saturday in February, the 3rd. at the court house, at sharp half past 1 o'clock p. m. Everybody invited. Bring your wives and daughters to hear the discussion of dairy subjects and the singing of songs. Meet promptly at the ringing of the bell. The exercise will be short and will not interfere with dcing your business and getting home in time to do the milking and other chores. A. McCoy, Pres. It is a common occurrence to hear a farmer say, “I intend to go into the dairying business after while, but times are too hard at present.” This very fact should be an incentive for a farmer to go into this valuable branch of the farming industry. As a result of the panicky feeling cows are cheaper, corn is low. as well as hay; while on the other hand the price of good creamery butter keeps up as well as any staple on the market.

DYNAMITE IN THE DISH.

fdraetome Crl*ae of a Crazy Buaala* Officer afCaetaaM. Bt. Peteraburg Letter In London Telegraph. A shocking tragedy of a most remarkable character is reported from Vilna. Ivan Klakwitz, a customs officer of highly respectable connection, became convinced that his wife was in league with a neighbor to aid the latter in a lawsuit which was pending against him. There was apparently no justification for the charge. The lawsuit was tried in the local cburts last week and Klakwitz lost the case. He addressed the judge in an excited manner, and after making a rambling statement implicating his w’ife in an intrigue against him, he left the court room.

Later in the day, however, he professed regret to his wife for his baseless insinuations and hasty temper and asked his neighbor and his wife to dine with him en famile. Thinking it better that a conciliation should take place, the neighbor accepted and a social evening was arranged for. At dinner there were present Klakwitz, his wife, his two daughters, aged nineteen and seventeen years, respectively, a young son aged eleven, his wife’s mother and his neighbor and his wife. The dinner passed off very pleasantly until the third course, when Klakwitz rose, and, ordering some more champagne to be opened, said that he wished all present to drink a toast to a special dish he had prepared as a surprise for this agreeable occasion. He then left the room, and within two minutes returned bearing in his arms a large dish covered with a dinner cover, and placing it quickly on the table shouted, “To our next meeting.” He had scarcely spoken these words when a dynamite bomb, which had been hidden under the cover, exploded, and instantly killed every one in the room with the exception of the servant girl and the youngest daughter the latter living, however, only long enough to tell exactly what had happened. The servant died within two hours. The unfortunate people who were the victims of this insane frolic were simply blown to pieces, and the walls of the room in which they were sitting were partly blown out. The explosion was heard for half a mile.

A Dialogue-

Cincinnati Enquirer. Scene—The Treasury Department. Characters: Secretary Carlisle. Mr. Midas. J/r. Midas. Are you redeeming United States notes to-day? Secretary. Oh, certainly. We are always in the “parity” business at your service. M. Well. I have $59,000,000 here. Sec. All right. Here is an order for the gold.. M. • What are you selling five per cent, bonds for? Sec. Hundred and eighteen, which makes it equivalent to a 3 per cent, loan. M. Well, I will take $50,000,000 of them. That will be $59,000,000. This gold order you gave me will just pay for them. Sec. All right. Here is an ’order for the bonds. Exit M. Mr. C. (solus) Well, that was not such tin awful smart trade, after all. I have his greenbacks and he has the government bonds. The gold reserve is not increased a dollar. I gave him $59,000,000 gold coin for his greenbacks, and he gave it back to me for the bonds. So one hand washed the other. The government borrowed $59,000,000 of its own greenbacks for 10 years at 3 per cent. That was all.

The Midwinter Arena.

Thdf>bruary Arena is another mammoth number of the great progressive Review, it contains 164 pages and filled with able pajiers, covering a wide range of topics of special interest to wide awake thinkers and earnest reformers. The qjWuiug paper will interest all k&ers of Robert Browning persons who profound roHghms thought"’ It is from the pen of Rev. M. J. Savage, and is entitled “Religious Thought in Browning's Poetry.” A fine portrait of tije poet forms the frontispiece of this issue. “The Relation of the Land Question to Other Reforms,'’ by J. H. Belfengee is a thoughtful paper in The Arena Series on the Land Question. “The New Bible,’’ by Washington Gladden, D. D.. is a very valuable contribution to the literature of Higher Criticism. A feature of this number is a profusely illustrated Symposium on “Rj. tional Dress for Women,” by

number of eminent America women. Dr. Heinrich Hensodt's series of papers on “Indian Oc cultism” grows more and mor absorbingly interesting with each issue. In this number the German scientist occupies twenty pages recounting wonderful phenomena which he witnessed in India during his ten years so journ in that far east. A very in teresting, practical paper is from the pen of Rev. Hiram Vrooman, of Baltimore, on “The Organization of the Moral Forces.” It is in the line of a movement the Arena has originated and is pushing to awaken to conscience of the people and unite moral work ers for practical progress. Congressman Davis discusses “Honest and dishonest money.” The fasinating series of philosophical by Stinson Zarvis on “The Ascent of life” is continued. Tne Editor contributes two strik ing editorials; the first is entitled ‘They Have Fallen into the Wine-Press, or illustrations of the Onward March of Uninvited Poverty;” the second is a strong argument against medical monopoly. Among the eminent thinkers who review the Books or the Day in this issue of The Arena are, Rev. M. J. Savage, Helen Campbell, Rabbi Solomon Schindler, Rev. Samuel D. Ful ler, Elbert Hubbard,and the Editor. The publishers announce that The Arena'will henceforth be enlarged to 144 pages instead of 128 as heretofore. This will make it the largest monthly Review published. The Chicago Express is one of the papers you need during this coming year.
