In speaking of James Kay Applebee as
lecturer, the Manchester IN. H. Daily Union
says: 1.-THE lecture Ion Shylockl, which
closed with beautiful reference to the last
scene OF the drama, which took in sweep of
thought so far beyond the crude and coarse
surroundings that marked the rest of the pas
sionate story, was most attentively listened to.
Though it occupied an hour and half in de-
livery, it was fascinating to the last Mr.. APP

EVERY dairy farmer should be on the look
out for the apparatus in which to set his milk
that will yield the greatest net profits. The
Cooley creamer has stood the tests of several
years, proving that it has no equal in producing
the largest quantity and best quality of butter.
The analysis of the skim-milk by Professor
Goessmann of Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege shows less than quarter of one per cent
OF fat left in the milk. No other apparatus has
been able to show 80 perfect a separation of
the cream from the milk The sales of these
creamers are very extensive, both in this coun-
try and Europe. Far exceeding any others
the Cooley dreamer, with its products having
been awarded more gold and silver medals
than all other cream-raising appartuses COM

There was large increase in income and
amount of loans over the figures OF the preced-
ing year, and a notable advance in the BUSH

81, H3. 219 Al. AS one straw indicating the di-
rection of the wind, we are told that the bal
ances due from agents were merely nominal,
and no premiums left in course of collection at
the end Of the year. The thoroughness with
which the business was closed up seems to have
permeated every department. The impression
left by reading the report is very satisfactory
one, and shows that the men who manage the
company have utilized every precaution die
tated by sound theories OF the life insur-
ance business, and united to it economy in ad-
ministration.
FARMERS who are intending to use the Buff
