Monday ^ ook; out *9 r a f rau( i who adver- 
j— J tises a method of treating milk 
O. so that one cow can make as much 
butter as seven can by the ordinary method 
of churning. This fraud has so many names 
and aliases that it is impossible to keep 
track of them all. The ‘‘great secret” 
seems to be a process for turning milk into 
a clabber—probably the first step of cheese¬ 
making—and then coloring it to resemble 
butter. What a fool a man must be to 
think the public can be deceived by such a 
trick, and yet this fraud is said to coin 
money selling “ county rights ” for his 
“process.” “What a fool a fool is” 
anyway.

Tuesday kook out f° r the “Webster’s 
p 1 Unabridged Dictionary 1890 
m edition” offered for a small sum 
by a firm in this city. This firm is guilty 
of a very mean piece of business. They 
took an old copy of Webster’s dictionary— 
so old that the copyright has expired— 
photographed the pages, printed from 
these photographs, and issued the book as 
“ the 1890 edition.” What do you think of 
such business as that? Good folks to “ look 
out ” for !

Wednesday kook out t^at y° u don’t go 
" off half-cocked about some of 
* ■ the legislation that has been 
proposed ostensibly in the interests of 
farmers. A great deal of this legislation is 
the merest humbug, and careful thought 
and the application of the rules of ordinary 
business will prove it so. Secretary Rusk 
is exactly right when he says: 
“No possible relief can come to farmers or 
to the country, no permanent remedy for 
present ills is to be found in measures 
which are rather the outcome of resentment 
than the product of reason.

Thursday ^ wou ^ sa y ^ armers > 
q * stand firm as the everlasting 
hills 4 in demanding what is 
right, and resisting any possible infringe¬ 
ment on your rights as citizens by any 
other class or combination of people, but 
beware lest in your just eagerness to secure 
your own rights, you seek to infringe upon 
the rights of others. No measure that con¬ 
flicts witn the rights of any one class of 
citizens, but what is sure to follow the 
course of the boomerang and return to in¬ 
jure the hand that shaped it.” 
FridflV Lo°k out f° r George A. Williams 
q * of Chicago, manager of “ The 
Farmer’s Co-operative Brother¬ 
hood.” The Farmer’s Review exposed this 
man, characterizing his scheme as “ bold 
and bad.” This Williams seems to be a 
sort of Pecksniff—a vulgar hypocrite. We 
judge from his circular that he considers 
farmers just about the silliest class of peo¬ 
ple in the world.

Saturday 
Look out—keep looking out— 
• for “ green-goods ” men. E. M. 
I u. Williams or the “T. R. Supply 
Co.,” of New Britain, Connecticut, has just 
been arrested and held in $1,500 bail, lliis 
scamp was also known as “G. V. Reed 
“ P. C. Deane” “ W. C. Watrous.” He ad¬ 
vertised " C. money for sale.” Many dis¬ 
honest people thought this meant counter¬ 
feit money and so ordered some of it. 
It turned out to be Confederate money. 
The fellow sold a lot of the worthless stuff. 
Letters found in his room proved that 
many well-known business men had patron¬ 
ized him ! 
LIKES IT. 
That sounds like business. I mean the 
editorial “Less Waste.” Including fruit 
and the waste from weeds our half of 
possible production is very bad or is 
wasted by our land workers. Look at the 
apple crop as a sample. It is handled like 
potatoes,and worms are allowed to destroy 
millions of barrels without a fight. Half 
the orchards of this section have gone to 
firewood or worse for lack of brains and 
grit. The “South Carolina Leads” is also 
right-keyed editorial. This land was over¬ 
ruled by persons till the Revolution ; since 
that by lawyers; now give the farmers a 
hundred years and see what they can make 
of it. Not one whit less valuable is your 
editorial on “State School Books.” All 
right and quite sound, although I am no 
advocate of unlimited nationalism.
