W by can whisky men get such prompt and thor ough protection to tbelr business while tbe butter maker can get no protection at all? Is It because whisky Is more valuable and more necessary to tbe well belug and com fort and happiness o f the people than good honest butter? No. It Is because the whisky men are thoroughly orgnnlsed and ready and determined to down with tbelr votes any set o f men that don’ t carry out tbelr demands. No petition for them. They don’t petition; they demand. Sometimes tbey get signatures to a proper setting forth o f what tbey want and band or send It to tbe proper pub lic officials. When tbe ottlclnl receives tbe document, lie knows exactly wbut It meuus, for It tells him between the lines that If be don’t go “ righ t" be builds bis political sarcophagus wide and deep, and—well, he does “ righ t” every time. There Is no politics or sen timent In whisky. Let any party enact laws Inimical to It. and the makers and dealers go over to the op[K>sltlon In a body. T b e politicians know this; hence they get such laws as tbey want and get them enforced. Is there any Bucb cohesion among farmers or dairymen? S o m e th in g About B a tte r M a k in g . When 1 was a boy. nearly every one guessed at everything, says W. L. Camp In The Prairie Farmer. Tbey guessed at tbe temperature, for tbeie were no thermometers In that part o f tbo country Tbey guessed at the time o f night and day, for no one had a clock or watch. When I was very young. I worked by the month for well to do farmers and had a great deal of churning to do. Sometimes the butter would come In a few minutes ami !>e yellow and nice. Again I would chart) an hour, tbe housewife In tbe mean tim e adding cold or hot water as she Judged necessary. I rememlter o f think ing that there ougbt to be some way of knowing how to mnke butter so It would alw ays come In about tbe same length o f time and alw ays look the same Instead o f coming white and soft one Time and the next time perhaps hard and yellow. There was a great deal o f good butter made at that time, but It was considered the result o f good luck. A good many o f tbe farmers make butter In Just this way at tbe present time. I-ater In my life It be came necessary for me to again do tbe butter making. A t this time I sent somewhere In the east for dairy In for matlon. In a short tim e 1 received some papers full o f valuable Instruc tions. I was told tbe value o f a tber mometer, how to feed and care for my cows, how to milk, bow nnd where to set the milk, when to skim and tbe Im portance o f stirring tbe cream when new cream was added. I learned what ripening meant and tbe Importance of doing It right, bow to eburu and when to stop, how to salt ami work the but ter. It Is Inexcusable for butter makers not to know all these things at tbe present time. 1 made g.V> worth o f but ter that winter and sold It for 5 cents s pound more tbau others were getting.

P rn d n e Most farmers now understand the necessity o f givin g milk producing food to tbe milk cow If she Is to keep up her production, but many do not pay any attention to the food given to owes and cows when tbey are suckling young, and they go to one o f the two extremes, as m i.i have been tbelr pro Fiona habit o f feeding or ns utay be the food they hare or can buy at the lowest price. The result Is that while one man will have the mothers grow ing fa t while the lambs and pigs are not grow ing at all because tbey do not have milk enough another w ill have them looking plump and round at the expense o f the dain who turns all her food Into milk. There Is ss much need o f a balanced ration for them that will cause a good milk production and at tbe same time keep np a fair amount o f flesh and strength as there ts for tbe milk cow s M ilk P r a m P a r r a w C ow s.
