Dmurlas Countv Farms Visited cn Annual Tour County Agent Heads Delega tion of Omaha Men on Inspection Trip. Phc* annual farm lour of Douglas inly was taken Saturday, under e lead of County Agent Maxwell, 'wenty five tourists started from the 'handier of Commerce at 9:15 in the morning, but were joined Inter 1 y In terested farmers until by the middle of the afternoon the caravan con sisted of upwards of a hundred. Chris Stnnggaard’s dairy farm, north of Minna Lusa was the first visited. Mr. Stanggaard was a mem ber of the dairy party that visited Wisconsin lately, a fact that shows his enterprise and interest in his business. He has a Holstein herd of 110 purebred and grade cow's, some of the rows having splendid records for milk and hutterfat piyiductinn. His dairy barns and milk house were In spected closely and approved by the criticial Inspectors in the party. Hickey Farm Visited. The Guernsey dairy farm of Mrs. O. W. Hickey was next on the list. Mrs. Hickey's herd is small hut choice, and is proving a great suc cess. “It pays all the hills,” she said. Here the visitors were given a "milk luncheon” and pretty souvenirs typical of dairying. Summerhlll farm, founded by Col. James H. Pratt, 50 years ago, and now operated by his grandson. Way land Magee, was the third visitor. This farm of 1,200 acres specializes In pure field seeds. It is also one of the best known hog and shorthorn farms of the state. No more modern farm improvements and equipment may lie found in this section. Blrchland farm, operated by C. F. Kuehl, is modern In every respect. Mr. Kuehl has 22 head of purebred and highgrnde Hnlstelns, whose aver age milk production Is 7,825 pounds of milk and 287 pounds of hutterfat. He is a member of the county co operative cow testing association. Ileg I.nt Sanitation. The Major Leedy farm near Water loo was Inspected because It shows in the best possible way hog lot sani tation. The Stafford farm, near Waterloo, 480 aerps operated by Frank, Ben, Charles and Mary Snfford, specializes In corn, rattle and hogs. Hog lot sanitation has hero shown Its bene ficial effects. Kdgevvter farm, 1,100 acres, three mips rth of Waterloo, is operated Jointly by C. B. Noyes and his two sons. .7 u Isle and Lawrence. The certified dairy operations are super vised by Julsie and the field opera tions by Lawrence. The farm has 115 cows—40 Guernseys and 75 Hoi steins. The barns are modern and each cow has an individual drinking cup. The milk from this dairy Is re tailed in Omaha at far above the ruling price for dairy milk. County Agent Maxwell piloted the party about and gave Interesting •demonstrations. He said that interest in heticr dairy methods was growing rapidly and remarked that clean and *-5* sanitary daii iis are now the rule in stead of tiie exception. The tourists returned to Omaha about 5:30. 25 LEAVE FOR TOUR OF COUNTY Twenty-five tourists left Omaha by auto caravan Saturday morning on the annua! Douglas county farm tour.

A uniform system of accounting for county treasurers, being estab lished by GeoVge W. Marsh, state auditor, is attracting considerable at tention throughout Nebraska. Mr. Marsh is republican nominee for re election. C. A. Sommer, state accountant of tho state auditor’s department, has issued a 32-pnge booklet which sets forth detailed Information concern ing this system. It is believed that the immediate object, outside of com plying with the law, which requires tho state auditor to establish uni formity, is to be helpful to county treasurers, to facilitate the work of the state examiners and to make manipulations difficult: also there will be a saving to taxpayers since the use of standard forms will avoid the expense of having costly bo'oks ruled and printed. Speaking of the county treasurer examinations being mado by the state auditor's department, Mr. Sommer said: "The law providing for two county treasurer examiners was passed in 1S93. Since then several new counties have been established, the population and the wealth of the state have Increased, and many new duties have been laid upon the coun ty treasurers, such ns collecting auto licenses, Increase in paving, drain age, irrigation and other taxes; pay ing bonds and coupons, all of which more than doubles tho work of the state examiners. The uniform sys tem of accounting will lighten the work of tiie examiners, but for the best results the force should he In creased, so that time could he taken for a more extended examination.'’ G. 0. P. RALLY AT M’KENNA HALL James A. Rodman, candidate for the legislature from the N'inteenth dis trict, attacked La Foilette’s stand In regard to amending the constitution during his address at the big repub lican rally held at the McKenna hall, Sixteenth and Locust streets, last night.

Wood and Senator J. W. Cooper.
