"Bunding Where He One School In California, Taught Until recently there stood in a pretty oak grove in the heart of Stockton, a forlorn-looking brick building, which perhaps in its palmy a 1 -Ja 1 A- recommend It; but for a long time, as age and neglect began to show disfiguring bands upon the structure, Its 7 windows stared blankly and Its shut ters creaked upon their rusty binges untll people fancied the old place was haunted. If the old walls could nave spoken, what interesting anecdotes they would have been able to relate of bygon days! What "tales might be told out of for this building was ones Van Dora, hall, "built expressly for school purposes," and famous as the tK.lKansas. and with this svinnathv is the and Lard on the Farm. Many articles have been published In the Farm and Ranch to encourage farmers to supply the near-by towns as far as possible with the food that they consume. The railroads are getting much to much money for freighting out products which should ba consumed at home and shipping in goods to supply the demand that I should be supplied by home producers.

Many farmers have made a great deal of money supplying special customers, high class products at fancy prices. Mr. and Mrs. James E. Hanna, who reside a few miles east of Arkansas City, have probably been as successful in this line of work, as anybody to this section of the eountry.

They began several years ago by furnishing a strictly first class dairy sutter to special customers in Arkansas City. They were soon able to obtain retail creamery butter prices and this they have continued to do up to this time. They have milked from ten to twenty good cows for several years past and have had no difficulty in finding sale for their entire product at prices named and could have sold more. To produce this class of 'butter no careless or slipshod method are indulged in. They hare learned what is cequiredto produce gilt-edged gjectecl.

The methods of production simple and inexpensive and most himself as well for butter making Mr. and Mrs. Hanna were equipped when they began to secure creamery butter prices. The writer spent one night during wheat harvest in 1903 at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Hanna. At that time the only improved means they were using were a milk-house supplied with water from a well by a wind pump and the best churn they could secure, and possibly a better worker. We are not sure about the latter. They had no ice house and i we believe have used no ice except in taking butter to market in the warmest weather. They market their butter nce a week Mr.

and Mrs. Hanna were awarded first premium on butter at the Hack- ney institute last weelc and we are not informed tnat they nave ever exhibited their butter at any other show or at any county fair They was placed in competition with other country butter of very high quality, as ood probably, as is exhibited at county and state tairs. mis prize hutter was consumed on the dinner tables and we had the Pleasure of eating some of it and pronounce it tauitiess so tar as we are aoie to judge. Much better than ordinary creamery butter. We are informed that customers who buy this butter prefer it to creamery, because of its superior flavor and the further fact that a pound of it appears to go farther on the table.

Mr. and Mrs; Hanna have been selling their eggs for several years in Arkansas- City to special customers at the same prices for which eggs are sold at the stores, often Erettinsr twenty-five and thirty cents per dozen. Last winter they began to manufacture home-made sausage and lard and sail it to their customers. They would kill a hog and work it all up into these products, that is, as much as they could of it, working up the shoulders, hams and sides. They have been able to secure a steady price of fifteen cents pound for their sausaUge and twelve and one-half cents per pound for their lar When they started in the sausage ana lard business they onade only a few pounds atatime, lately they bave been selling as much as 150 pounds of sausage at a time and their trade is rapidly increasing.

Lard of course will keep and they have the whole year in which to dispose (Of it. iow, xur. ana lurs. iianna do not KT 3 think that tbey are the only people who can make good butter and sausage, not by any means; but are satisfied that others can do as well as they have done by pains-taking wonc. Careless methods of produc tion with lack'of promptness in mar keting, would not enable anyone to build up cuch a trade as they have.

Cleanliness, neatness, promptness, explains their success; and without these, success would be impossible. Mr. Hanna depends upon alfalfa as his main cow feed for milk and butter production. He would not think of doing away with alfalfa and continuing in the butter business. Two or three years ago he noticed a great i t.

The best man, Edd Copenbarger, brother of the bride, and the bridesmaid, Miss Sadie Wolfe, of Winfield, were followed by the bride and groom and took their position beneath a beautiful arch of green and white formation, from which hung a weddin? bell adorned with apple blossom9. The pianist softly played during the impressive ceremony. The bridesmaid was gowned in white and w6re ferns and chrysanthemums. The bride was srowned in cream silk tissue and carried cream and white roses. The groom wore the conven- tional black.

After receiving congratulations the company repaired to the dining room where an elegant wedding supper awaited them. The bride received many beautiful and useful presents. About thirty guests were present to witness the marriage of these worthy young people who have grown tot manhood and womanhood in this vicinity and who have hosts of warm friends who wish them a long and happy wedded life.
