the story Of Washington going to
the thicket to pray; well, it is only
true, but he used often to pray in Sc

providence alone brought us safely
through those dark days of tribula-

CHEESE MAKING.

A correspondent of the LIE Mars SEN
tinel writes an account OF the Port
landvllle Cheese Factory owned by
Messrs. Tremaine & Lyon. His fig
E!hres for the past years operations are
al follows :..:'::
tilnated) $1,000
Is COWS 1T $25 each 1850
Total capital invested $2,S75
No. pounds cheese sold 1900 at
~. IL cents per pound $3.50
Deduct for hired help 800
Leaving balance of profit of $3.50
OF the profit he says:
This gives us clear profit of nearly
60 per cent. on the capital invested, or
nm average profit over and above ev-
erytlling Of $22. 40 to each cow. The
above estimate is made on the pre-
sumption that the COWS were owned by
the firm. Of course there are other it,
tie expenses, but this is fully met, and
: more: too,, by the increase OF stock
which, when two months old can he
given the whey from the factory, and
they seem to thrive on it when proper
attention is given its preparation.

SOUTHERN MINNESOTA RAILWAY

so 0THEleN MINNESOTA RAILWAY
The extension of. the line of the
Southern Minnesotarailway from Win
nebago City to Jackson, ss(45 miles)
which has been for some time. in con-
temptation, has been fully decided up-
on, and work will commence as soon
us practicable in the spring. The funds
necessary for the first twenty miles,
are already provided, and the bright
future now opening before the compa-
ny, not to mention the fact Of it's pres
emit healthy financial condition., places
the question of securing the means nee
essay for constructing the remainder of
the projected line to Jackson, beyond
Il reasonable doubt.
The surveys will be completed some
time next week, unless the weather
prevents, and tile contracts for grad
ing and bridging will be let at once.
The extension will require S0,0tO ties,
which will bejfurnished by G. p. Hazel
tine 4: Co., of Scotield Mills, on the
Wisconsin Valley road, the contract
having been awarded them last week.
The surveys include 4 direct line
from Winnebago City to Jackson, aud
also a line 10y way of Paramount. The
latter line is regarded as the preferable
one i'll many respects, and would he
adopted were it not for the material in
crease III distance which would be in
vOved. The question between the two
proposed routes is yet under considera-
ton. 1t is a fact worthy of note that
nearly every dollar of the funds neces-
Esary for building the first twenty miles
has been subrcribed in the West. This
very substantial evidence of the conf
dence which is felt in the enterprise by
people having the largest opportunities
