“MILK CHURCH” COLUNN.

Devoted to the Dili r ; ’ f c tern't ’ of Jasper County. A Chippewa County, Wis., farmer who could not afford to pay Si.oo for a yends subscription to a good dairy paper, sent $3 to an Eastern swindler to learn the secret of keeping butter from getting strong. He received the reph’, ‘’EHt it; ,J -A man generally hungers for that he strives for. Sothe men want knowledge and understanding and strive for it, pay money for it. Other men ache like an old-fashioned stone bruise to be humbugged, and they get it. They can stand to be humbugged, but knowledge would make them sick.— Hoard’s Dairyman. How many of our retired farmers and large land owners are ready to give up grazing cattle in competition with the western ranges. I understand there is one that is ready to jumpnntothe band wagon and keep up with the dairy procession, and that others have already made preparations. I tackled one and he replied that an old dog could not learn new tricks. If we can find some one that knows how to do that, he is our victim. It is to be hoped that he or she will come to our relief. There is always some one to meet every emergency. There is no obstacle that has not been overcome. We as a church have the desire for the prosperity of all, and don’t want to have to yearn for any first class funerals, as we cannot imagine any place that the obstructionists could go to where they could be used or wanted, as a relief.: Let them lease their land and stand by and cheer those who are ready to occupy and do the work and give an equitable share to the landlord, as our beautiful song says of the old fashioned churn dash, the grazing of cattle in competition with the western ranges “is’nt in it.” I hope they may conclude to join the dairy procession and benefit themselves, and give employment to the many enforced idle.
