Farm Dairy Butter.
Dairy butter is that butter made
from the milk from one herd of cat
tle, and made at the place where the
milk is produced. This butter can be
exhibited in the form in which it is
marketed, but it will be best to send
it in prints or in 5 pound or 10 pound
tubs. If prints are sent there should
be at least two 1 pound prints. Pack
these In such a manner that there
will be no danger of injury while in
transit, and send by prepaid express
to the dairy department, Kansas State
Agricultural college to arrive not later
than December 26. 190S. This butter
shall become the property of the dairy
department.
The points taken into consideration
in scoring butter are as follows:
Flavor. 45; body, 25;iCOlor, $5; salt,
10; package, 5.

fat or more and which contains .2 of 1
per cent of acid or less -as shown by the
alkali test. The cream shall also be of
a good flavor and clean, and contain
ed in a clean container. The different
lots of cream falling in this grade will
be ranked as to the amount of acid
each contains and as to its flavor and
cleanliness, and the condition of the
container.
Second grade Cream testing between
25 per cent and 30 per cent of fat and
containing Between .2 and .3 of 1 per
cent of acid, and that is reasonably
clean and sweet. Cream falling within
this grade shall be ranked according to
both the fat content and the acidity
as well as the flavor and cleanliness and
the condition of the container.
Third grade Cream testing less than
23 per cent of fat or testing .3 of 1 per
cent of acid or more, or falls below sec
ond grade in any way.

A BOHEMIAS WEDDING.
Republic County Friends of Sir. and
Mrs. Shulda Give Many Presents.
Cuba. Dec. 10. It is estimated that
about 75 per cent of the population
of Cuba and the country tributary
are Bohemians. They are landown
ers, and those who cultivate the soil
are successful farmers and make
money. Their principal farm indus-
ries are raising corn, cattle, hogs and
alfalfa. And their wives and daughters
are great in raising poultry.
One of the principal mercantile firms
in Cuba, Kesl & Sons, will do a busi
ness this year aggregating $65,000,
an Increase of $10,000 over 1907. This
firm estimates that not less than 50
per cent of the business transacted in
Cuba comes from the markets of the
sales of poultry, eggs and cream. This
family of successful business men and
farmers came from Iowa to Republic
county in 1886.
A Bohemian wedding Js usually Xh
occasion of large numbers of the fam
ilies getting together, and celebrating
the event in a royal good manner. The
marriage of Edward Shulda to Miss
Albina Vacha, who are highly con
nected and belonging to the best Bo
hemian families, was solemnized in
the presence of a large number of in
vited guests and immediate relatives.
The presents were elaborate, their
relatives being well-to-do. The groom
is a successful farmer, while his
charming bride has grown to woman
hood in Cuba, and is one of her most
popular ladies. The wedding services
was followed by a bounteous supper,
at which the Cuba band discoursed
favorite music. The, bridal trip will
include a visit to several towns In Ok
lahoma. On the evening preceding
the wedding many of the young la
dies gave the bride-to-be a kitchen
shower party in whloh all those pres
ent carried with them some useful
kitchen article for housekeeping.
The Bohemians in this vicinity own
from a quarter section to half a sec
tion, and a few of them more than
this amount, one in particular own
ing more than 2,000 acres. It is a
custom, so it is said, that the father
and mother give their children a farm
when they marry, the boys receiving
a quarter section, while trie girls us
ually receive 80 acres. Many of the
business houses in Cuba are the prop
erty of Bohemians.

DEATH OF GENERAL JACKSON.
Born In England, in the Crimean War
and Several American Campaigns.
Leavenworth. Kan.. Dec in
Brigadier General Henry Jackson, re
tired, died at his home here last night
of cancer, aged 71 years. General
Jackson was a soldier in the Crimean
war, the Civil war, the Spanish-American
and other Indian campaigns. He
ws born in Canterbury, England.
When 16 years of age he enlisted as
a soldier and was in the Crimean war
from 1853 to 1856. Rising to the rank
of lieutenant in the English army, he
resigned and came to America enlist
ing in the Fourteenth Illinois cavalry
in 1863. He was commissioned first
lieutenant after the Civil war and in

Washington, Dec. 10. It can be as
serted without fear of contradiction
that President Roosevelt is unreserv
edly in favor of the retention of Mr.
Cannon at the head of the Republican
organization in the house. He may
have had some difficulties in the past,
but they are history.
The president has stated that he has
strongly advised Mr. Taft not to go
into a contest with Speaker Cannon,
and all because of his belief that Mr.
Cannon is a strong and forceful man.
and, as such, the best man to head
and control the interests of the party
there.
Further information in relation to
the Taft-Cannon misunderstanding
develops that the basis of it. insofar
as the tariff question is concerned, was
largely through a misunderstanding.
After the election, Mr. Cannon ad
dressed a party of business men
Cleveland, Ohio. A stenographic re
port of that address is alleged to have
been sent Mr. Taft. In that report
Mr. Cannon was represented as hav
railroads use annually, it would greatly
reduce the drain on tne rapiaiy ue
creasing timber resources. The Pena.
sylvania railroad', alone uses from
3 500,000 to 4,000,000 ties each year
for renewals and new work. The aver
age life of these red oak and chestnut
ties under present conditions is from
three to four years, while oak' lasts
from seven to eight years. It is esti
mated that tie treating will increase
the life of these ties to at least twenty
years. The Pennsylvania railroad's
enormous requirments for ties and
lumber strips the timber from some
50,000 acres annually. It Is estimated
that by properly treating with pre
servatives even a part of this timber,
its life will be so increased that per
haps. 25.000 acres will supply the
company's requirements.

The Coal Bill of Railroads in United
States. Canada and Mexico.
Some interesting information as to
the amount of money spent for coal
by the railroads of the United States,
Canada and Mexico. Is contained in a
pamphlet which has recently been Is
sued. The railroads of these three
countries expend $190,000,000 an
nually for coal at the mines. Other
expenses such as handling and haul
ing amount to $90,000,000 annually.
This makes a total of $280,000,000
which the roads pay for fuel. These
fieures are taken from the reports of

SENATORS RtSENTFUL
Tliey Don't Like Roosevelt's Reference
' to Secret Service. -
Washington. Dec. 10. No subject dis
cussed by President Roosevelt in his I
annual message to congress has been
the subject of so general comment in
both the senate and house as t'he rec
ommendation concerning the secret ser- (

dent declares the amendment incorpor
ated in the. law last year "that there
should ibe , no detail from the secret
service and. no transfer therefrom" con
tained the assertion that this amend
ment has been of benefit only to the
criminal classes. Again the president
said that the chief argument in favor
of the provision was that the congress
men did not themselves wish to be in
vestigated by the secret service men
and he proposed a restoration of the
old law with a special exception pro
hibiting the use of the secret service

designed to quiet revision sentiment in
the country.
Cannon a Genuine Revisionist.
Since that time Mr. Cannan has
made it clear that he not only did not
say such a thing, but that he could not
have had it in his mind. This be
cause he is cognizant of the party
pledges at Chicago for tariff revision
and has believed sincerely for the last
two years that the time has come for
revision. He does not deny, nor do his
friends for him, that he opposed re
vision before the presidential election
with the resultant ilsturbance of busi
ness conditions. Perhaps the strong
est indication of the sincerity of the
speaker is to be found in the fact that
the last Republican state platform in
Illinois, controlled by Mr. Cannon, had
one of the strongest tariff revision
planks in it that has ever been drawn.
It can be asserted, too, that the best
friends of Mr. Taft, Including Presi
dent Roosevelt, have advised him that
an effort on his part to defeat Mr.
Cannon for the speakership, even with
all the prestige of a president elect,
will be absolutely useless. There has
been no "laying down" on the part of
Mr. Cannon. It may be as truthfullv
asserted that the same is true of Mr.
Taft.

"VTT7"V'T7T BEFORE In the annals of the publishing business
A v J'XX- have we seen such a bargain. We do not hesitate
to recommend thia offer to every reader of this paper: Indeed we
believe every family should own a standard World History, for by
knowing how other countries than ours are governed it gives us a
better knowledge and higher appreciation of our own system of
government and makes us better citizens.
We will be glad to give you an opportunity to see for yourself
and make your own decision after you have seen the beautiful
binding, the magnicfient illustrations and have read parts of this
great History of man on earth. Then you can decide. Should you
not wish to keep the work you will notify us and we will have it
returned at our" expense.
The Illustration of the books given here does not do them Justice :
you must see them to realize what they are. You assume uo
obligation to us or any one else by making this request, you
simply ask for m free examination in your own home without
paying any one anything, and remember you can
send the books back at our expense, and re-
raember, too, this bankrupt rock -bottom
price or S28.50 ior tins foo.ao iiorary
nas oeen made possioie oniy on ac
count of the failure of the union
Book Company, thus necessi
tating a receiver's sale at a
price which barely cov
ers the cost of the pa
per ana binding.
