In answer to repeated inquiries, we would
say that there has been no reduction in the
running time in the factories of the Sprague
Manufacturing Company in this city. Doubt
less there will be a small reduction of wages,
as elsewhere, manufacturers having found
pressure of small sales at reduced rates, and
continue to pay high wages. More business
was done the last month at the Spraguc works
here than during any previous month for
some time. About five hundred persons are
employed in and about the factories.

The directors in the village district have
wisely decided to discontinue the primary
school on Chapel street, on account of the
dilapidated condition of the school house
Parents and friends of the scholars will re-
joice at this, inasmuch as the old box has
been regular cold-trap, from which children
have gone forth to sick beds. To send a
child there during the winter months was
equivalent to sending it to the receiving
tomb. only the old rat-trap leaks, and the re-
ceiving tomb doesn't; the latter is far more
comfortable. The old hulk is fit only for
kindling wood. The school with its teacher,
Miss Sadie A. Landers, has been transferred
to the brick school building on Chestnut
street. The idea has entered the mind of
more than one industrious parent that in a
few years a new, modern school house will
be needed on Western avenue.

Butter Factories.

The American Grocer says: "Perhaps
three-feurths Of all the butter marketed
might be made, with proper care and sys
tenn, worth twenty per cent more, and
actually at less expense than it is now pro-
duced; and something of this sort the but
ter-makers must do to compete with the
artificial product. 1t can, in our judgment:
be accomplished by the farmers adopting
some plan of cooperative making,
as is done by cheese factories. We do not
say that the same plan may be suited to
every locality, but the principle, in some
form, is equally applicable to every Sec
tion. Where the population is sufficiently
dense, the regular butter factory, taking
the milk directly from the farmers, may be
adopted. Where the difficulties Of trans
porting the milk are too great to admit Of
this plans the farmers might churn their
. cream, and carry the raw butter itself to a
central factory to be manipulated by some
such method as is proposed by the Dake
process, by which all the different grades
of butter could be thoroughly worked over,
and a uniform quality and color obtained
Factory butter, like factory cheese, now
commands an extra price.

Minnesota Wheat and F}ou-.
(Rice County Journal.

The eastern dealers have made some
very important discoveries as to our
wheat and flour, and of especial value to
our producers and to the reputation of our
State in general.
One Of the most important Of these dis
coveries was announced by the Boston
bakers. They tried Minnesota spring
wheat flour with the best Southern and
Western winter they could. get, and by
actual baking of bread from a barrel OF
each, found that our best flour produced,
by careful. actual weight, 40 pounds more
bread than the other and of better quality
and, thinking that possibly they had made
a mistake, repeated the experiment with
the same results.
Another important discovery has been
quite recently imported, and it is this
wheat, shipped by way of Duluth to the
New York market, will bring about ten
cents per bushel more than the same
wheat shipped in the old way, by Milwau-
kee and Chicago. What is the reason :?
everybody will ask. The reason is that
there is less opportunity for mixing with
inferior wheat going by Duluth. Read
the following slip from the market report
from the New York World:
'There is a very irregular market for
flour. There was something of specnla-
tion in the better grades of Minnesota
brands, including ''patents' and shipping
extras in good to prime lines were wanted
at 1925 to Sc 5o-some 5000 or 10000
barrels of these two grades being sold !:
but low extras and s'seconds'' from Western
winter wheat were hard to move and were
reported sold below Sc. Supers and No.
were dull and dropping. Family brands
from winter wheat were quiet"

~ must tell you," writes New York
correspondent, show an amiable lady from
the right little, tight little island was de-
ceived by her trusted but wicked nephew,
who had lived in this city some time be-
fore his aunt came to pay him a visit. She,
the aunt, had heard much of our water
melons, and was anxious to see and taste
one; so in the height Of the season off
went the nephew to Washington Market,
and there procured the largest melon that
ever grew. At dinner, the whole affair
having been previously arranged, this
huge specimen was put on the table, when
all at once another nephew exclaimed to
the host: "Well, I should have thought
you would have got a good-sized melon
to-day, when you knew auntie has never
seen one, and that is such miserable lit
tie thing!" Poor auntie looked at the
fruit with staring eyes, and it was found
that she had written in her notebook,
Mel ons grow gigantic in America"

Oxen tor Hard Work.

If the digestive process in cattle were
better understood, would it not rather
seem strange that there are not more sick
oxen than that there are so many? Just
look moment at the treatment our work.
ing oxen receive during the spring while
doing the plowing They are fed in the
morning with all the hay they will eat,
and perhaps have only just about time
enough to swallow it brfore they are yok~
ed up and hitched to the plow. They are
made to stick to it till noon, when they
are again fed with more hay. AS soon as
it is eaten they are taken to the Geld again
and driven before the plow till five, six or
seven o'clock, according to the ambition
or necessities Of the owner. They are
then put up again and fed with hay.
Now, if an OK can only digest his food
after it has been remasticated, and he is
given three meals in succession Of such
food as needs to be chewed over, and is
made to work hard, as at plowing, all the
time between meals, what time does he
have in which to prepare that food for
digestion except during the hours Of night,
when he should lie expected to sleep I?
If the night, after hard days work, is
the only time in which digestion can 60
on, is it strange that we find every year SO
many oxen that are ''otf their fecd," have
no appetite. and do not seem to be ben
netited by what food they do eat
If cattle are fed meal after meal Of long
hay, with no time allowed for rumination,
how can they be expected to long remain
in health Does this peculiar condition
of the working OK explain the reason why
a daily feeding Of meal and less hay to a
hard working animal is great deal better
for him than hay alone? And does the
fact that the OK needs long time every
day in which to rechew his food, and that
he cannot retain his health without it, ac-
count for the superiority Of horses over
oxen for doing very hard and continuous
work for whole days at a time
If the above propositions are pertinent,
do they not help to throw some light on
the long disputed question Which are
bette, oxen or horses for the farmer
The answer must depend wholly OH the
kind Of work to ne done, the length Of
time allowed for doing it, and whether the
work is continuous for many hours in sue
cession or alternated by frequent resting
spells, as when waiting for a cart to lie
loaded or unloaded.-i New England
Farmer.
