OF cheese in that section of the state,

Next came the Iowa farmers. As
their land became exhausted by CON

to try dairying. They bui. several
cheese factories and creameries through
northern Iowa and southern Minnesota,
but after few years it was demon
strated that those states were better
adapted to making butter than cheese.
Consequently they turned the cheese

A few years ago, when the dairy
men of Iowa commenced to build
their creameries, which num-
Der to-day over five hundred,
some thought that the production
would be greater than the demand.
Still it is not so, for, although the make
this season is larger than before of but

ern creamery meets with ready sale
here in New York to-day at 41c. to
42c, and in Chicago at 4Oc. to 4lc.,
and with orders on hand that cannot
be filled. This goes to show that the
creamery business is far from being
overdone, and | predict that inside OF
ten years the home trade, as well as
the foreign demand, will support as
many more cream cries as there are in
the northwest to-day.
The mount of white-streaked and
dairy butter coming into market is
growing less every day, and is succeed
ed by creamery that has grain, text

look as far back as 1857, when first
went into the business III Chicago, and
see the rapid growth of the dairy inter

Dairying in the West,

=. Morris, who was one Of the first
to suggest and start creameries in the
vicinity of E'gin H., speaks as follows
in the american Dairymdn:
was interested with j. II. Warner
and NJ. A. Devine in the first factories
that were run near Elgin. We bought
the milk and had to haul part of it
seven or eight miles. We found some
difficulty in selling the product of those
factories for some time after they We're
started, for trade in general did not be-
heve we could make good butter or
cheese IN the west at that time. Bat
after few years they got over their
prejudice, the jobbing trade sent them
out their orders on their merits, same
as they did the New York State make,
and found that they gave satisfaction.
After that we found ready sale for all
we could make.
The patrons Of those factories soon
learned that dailymg in the west would
pay much better tnAn raising grain
cons, quently they increased the num-
Der Of their cows every year. New
factories and creameries sprang up oil
through northern Illinois soon after.
The farmers of Wisconsin commenced

especially in Sheboygan county. Be-

The oyster Season Cometh
Chicago Tribune

Another dish, please"
Out under the star-gemmed heavens
Daphne Mccarthy and BERTHE Cecil
We're sitting this beautiful summer
night--sittng side by side beneath the
spreading branches of on oak that had
braved the storms of centuries, while
the sivored pencilings of moonlight
dancing SO gayly among the verdure-
clad branches that waved languidy
above their heads gave to the scene a
touch of weird beauty and silent splen-
dor.
did you speak, dayling?' asked
BERTHE, bending over the girl and gazing
at her with eyes whose fervid glances
told more eloquently than wosds of the
great love he bore her Bat back of
the tender look, back of the love-laden
tones, there was haunting fear, a
CHASTITY horror, which ali the senuous
languor of the place could not dispel.
Up from the meadow beyond the brook
side came the noisy chirping Of the
crickets, and the wind, which had risen
as they sat there, began to blow in
strange, sobbiug cadeuces through the
evergreens and larches in the village
churchyard. The sheen of heecy
clouds that had tlecked the zenith, lend
ing an added splendor to the turquoise
bloom of the horizon, had suddenly
faded away, and in its place appeared
an inky mass, from whose black bosom
the forked lightning leaped like hiss
ing serpent from tue darksome jungle
of m Indian forest. Already the ram
drops were FLASHING among the dust
covered leaves of the tree.
"Did you speak, darling ?" asked
Berthe again
81 was thinking" replied Daphne in
low, thrilling tones that showed the in
tensit of her yearning, "of having
another dish of cream but it is too
late now" and rising from the table she
led the way To the street-car.
Berthe followed her in dazed way,
but under the sombre look of his pure,
young face there was peaceful, al
most holy Joy. Heaven has headed
her Off, he said softly, "but shall
pay dearly for this when the oysters
come, for it does not rain III winter"

The Apple Harvest

When our fOrelathers came to this
country, they brought with them the
apple.tree from England, and among
the first places where an orchard WAS
planted in the New World was an island
IN Boston Harbor, which still retains in
It's name the memory Of this incident.
The Indians took very kindly to the
new fruit, which could he grown with
little trouble, and planted the trees all
over New England, where what are
known rs "lndian orchards" are still
common. The soil and climate Of this
country have proved to be very favor
able To the cultivation of the apple, and
the varieties prodoced in the Northern,
Middle and Western States are ac-
knowledsed to be the finest in the world.
The apple-tree rarely presents beauti-
ful or symmetrical appearance. 1t is
generally rather dumpy, branches
lrregu!arly, and after ten or twelve
years of growth the bark became rugged
and scaIy. But nothing can be more
beautiful or fragrant than an apple
orchard in bloom. Artists and poets
have celebrated the lovliness of the
rose.tinted flowers which crown the
homely trees with sudden glory. The
apple-orchard products of the United
States are more than $50,000,000 in
value, and the number of acres under
cultivation ~ orchards is considerably
more than million. The expectation
Of apples from this country is a very
important branch Of industry, and in
tropical climates they are in great de-
mand -Hdrper's Weekly.

Bran Beds for the Babies.


A French doctor has invented a new
bed for babies which holds them safe
in its custody and prevents them from
ever giving any trouble at night to
their attendants. This gentleman has
subjected his system to the most try
ing of MI tests, for he has applied it to
all his own children, and considers that
the life of one of them is entirely
owing TO its use. The idea is to fill the
great part of the cradle with bran and
lmmerse the legs and part of the body
OF the child IN this nest, covering them
over IN the usual way, but fastening
down the counterpane tight so as to
keep him firm IN his place. Why this
change of tactics should nave the effect
of taking away from the infant his
usual desire to howl during part Of
every night Is lquestlon which we will
leave nurses to explain for themselves
after they have tried the system. In
the mean time, until that trial has bee,
made it is only civil to believe the testi-
mony of Drs Bourgeois and Vigoureux,
who in two French pagers of some
authority declare such is the invarlablc
result. This is not, however, the Only
advantage to be expected from the
system, The bran is supposed to have
warming and stimulating influence
superior to any sort of cotton or cloth,
and to allow children Of the more sicR
ly kind to develop more quickly and
10 be sooner able to use their limbs.
The inventor of the system declares
that they delight in their bran beds,
and always "quit them with regret,
when moved at the age of two months,
to one of different kind.

pies are almost total failure. Mr.. b.

is is ''small, wormy and generally de-
fective," and one of the largest apple

among the orchards of that state, puts
the crop down rs a failure, and a simi-
lar condition prevails III New England

more discouragng. Prime stock is AT

THERE died in Delaware county,
Pennsylvania, enc day last week, a
prosperous and generally esteemed
farmer, nearly 100 years Of age, who
for forty years had never spoken
word TO his wife nor had she To him,
nor had any one Of their five children,
Of whom three, with their mother, are
still living, spoken word to any other
member of the family. AM yet they
all lived peacefully under one roof and
were in full possession Of their facul-
ties. Forty years ago, 1t Is said, the
wife was bequeathei small sum of
money by \ relative, which her hus-
band desired 70 use III purchasing
farming implements and otherwise
improving the property, She said no.
He vowed that unless he was given the
money he would never speak another
word 10 her. This vow he steadastly
kept to the end of his life. The three
daughters, then quite young, at first
tried to reconcile their parents, but
failed. Then one sided with the faith
er, another with the mother, and the
third became disheaTtened with the
whole JOB. SO they quarreled, the two
sons died, and never again word was
spoken in the household, save to visit
Ors. The death of the husband and
father has made no change in the stu
alton, and the survivors move about
the house as if utterly obliyious to each
others presence.
