Prospects for n Creamery.

Mr.. Lawrence failing to appear If.
ter having waited for him live DAYS
after the time he WAS To have arrived.
it was proposed 10 Mr.. Kendall that
he move his creamery from the X
farm tn Window. and on Monday AZ
ternoon meeting was held ut the
Clark House to take the matter under
consideration. While Mr.. Kendall
was not prepared to make positive
proposition. he was willing To propose
- his principles that he move the
creamery " Window if our people
would protect him from the loss he
would undergo to do SO. substantially
to provide suitable buildings and put
the necessary ice. He did not want
to go To additional expense to do 1t.
He thought the old Harris building
would do 10y putting an addition on
the north side about sixteen feet
wide.
John Clark said he would give the
use Of the building free of charge,
and a supply of from thirty to nifty
cows.
Paul Seeger wanted to put up the
ice and donate it to Mr. Kendall.
Mr.. johnson wanted to know IL ice
could be- put up without saw dust.
Mr.. Kendall said that flax straw
would keep ice we'll. He uses moth
ing else.
MIR. Hutton proposed to put up the
ice and then give to Mr.. Kendall "A
cash bonus with which to do all the
other work. He was ready and will
ing to do his share toward it all, and
let Mr.. Kendall own all the improve.
ments that are made to the building.
Mr.. Jenness wanted Mr.. Kendall To
come and wanted To pay him for it,
and would have him superintend the
improvements.
Mr.. Seeger said ice would cost so
cents ton.
John Clark offered to advance $50
toward the Improvements. give the
use of the building, and when Mr..
Kendall Is through with it il shall be-
his. This would leave &l00 for the
people To raise besides the Ice, the es.
innate heing at $50 for additions To
the building.
Mr.. Kendall said he would 20 to
st. Paul at once and give Il definite
answer.
Messrs. Hutton and Clark thought
MIN the proper man to build the
creamery, and Mr.. Clark said if any
money was short he would help him
out In addition to the rent of the
hnildins and adavnce money to i'm.
prove.
Tuesday morning Mr. Kendall went
to st. Panl to see Mr.. Thompson. and
II he Will endorse the proposition,
Mr.. Kendall will come. Nearly enough
money was pledged on the spot for

FRACTIONAL Electricity,


We looked into the press-room of one
OF Boston slarge printing establishments
this week. says u correspondent Of the
Paper Trade World. The foreman was
furious. and the proprietor sorrowful.
FRACTIONAL electricity in the printed
sheets OF paper as they left the presses
was the immediate cause of their trouble.
1t is an interesting and not uncommon
phenomenon. and is not easily explained
nor easily controlled. II has puzzled
Professors Bell and Wadman and the
best electricians we have about here.
The packing upon the press cylinder
seems to act as an inductor. and the
paper leaves the press thoroughly cleo
trified. We watched press running of
ZOO per hour. Suddenly the printed
sheet chung about the cylinder as though
pasted upon it. and had to be torn off in
strips. Again, we lifted few freshly
printed leaves, and they rippled and
cracked like the stitches in an old coat.
Then we saw lot of cardboard being
printed. The sheets stuck together IA
solid as n brick, and could not be sepa-
rated until the electricity had partly
passed of. A piece of printers brass
rule placed in this pile of cardboard,
with an end projecting, threw off sparks
when approached within an inch by an
other piece of rule Two sheets sucked
together when held fourteen inches
apart. Wet rags placed around the de-
livery table and held into q bucket of
wnter charged the water with electricity
in forty minutes so that positive shock
was felt upon hand being immersed in
the pail. Electrical currents were felt
in the hands and arms upon handling
pile of paper eight minutes after being
printed. These are only few of many
curious experiences. The bother to the
printer is considerable one. 1t entails
Inconvenience and serious loss. Val
liable work is frequently spoiled by the
electricity packing the leaves so closely
as to offset the fresh ink. Then the
presses have to be slow speeded. with
frequent stoppages. Nothing SO demon
allies the press-room rs this mystery of
frictional electricity when under full

The Proper Price Of MIX.

Let us assume that no COW is lit for

2O0 quarts Or milk annually. If this
amount Of milk per COW is sold whole
from the farm. its manurial elements
will cost 1888 pounds Of nitrogen,

pounds Of potash, worth AZ cents-in
all worth g. so. When all other con.
sideratiOns of waste and losses are
taken into account, it is reasonable to
conclude that the sale of all the milk
Of 2.2OO-quart cow removes from
the farm ON which she is kept what
will cost ut least SO year To make

in meal AMI feed, and the manure of

his duty. Cox was held fast and his
face roughly shaved, without using any
lather or first clipping off the whiskers
with the scissors. He caught cold and
nearly died. as a consequence of this

two trials have resulted in verdic,s OF

AYERS CATIIAITIC PILLS are the best
OF all purgatives for family use. They
are the product Of long, laborious. and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians In
their practice, and by all civilized M.
ti0ns, proves them the best and most
efiectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated. they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system In perfect order, and
maintain In healthy action the whole
machinery Of life. Mild. searching and
effectual, they arc especially adapted
to the needs Of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements Of which they prevent
