THE COLLEGE.
Hardin College never enjoyed a
more prosperous term. The man.
agement has been all that could have
been desired, the teachers attentive
to and diligent in their duties and
the pupils progressive and willing to
acquire knowledge.
The institution was founded by
Ex-Gov. Hardin in 1873, and from its
origin has enjoyed a liberal patron.
age from all sections of the state snd
some portions of the West. The
grounds are situated in the southern
part of the city, and the building is
a large and imposing brick, four sto-
ries high, with a frontage Of 100 feet.
The campus is adorned with various
kinds of flowers, shrubbery, ever
greens, forest trees, &C., and is a
charming spot. In fact, the institu:

CREAM RIES.
A Common-Sense Plan for Starting CO.

A Common-Sense Plan for Starting CO.
operative Creameries.
A good start is half the journey. that
is when the trip to be taken is full of
complicated difficulties to be overcome.
This is particularly the case when it is
intended to start creamery. There is
always great risk of failure if the start
is made on too large scale. The cost
of running large factory with a few
cows is about as great as to run it with
many cows. while the returns are in the
other proportion. 1t is bad business
to have to wait for profitable returns.
The best way to start a creamery is fOf
the mel ghbors to get together and decide
VIII CHI one of them can make the best
article. which may be tested by sending
samples made BY each to some commits
son merchant to decide. He will tell
YOU whose butter will sell the best, and
that is just what You want
to know. After settling this point,
let the successful maker, BY SUBJ
scription or on his own account. pro.
vide the necessary utensils. and all
carry their milk or cream to him to
make up. 1t is somewhat out of date
in these days to haul the whole milk to
factories to make butter The best
plan is only to carry the cream two or
three times week, but this means that
ice must be used to keep the cream
sweet until it is delivered at the factory.
This plan leaves the skinned milk on
the farm. where it belongs, and can be
fed fresh and sweet if deep setting or
the centrifuge is used. The cream of
each patron should be churned sep
arately. and then the maker should
sample it and tub it by grades. This
allows correct credit to each one, not
only for the amount of butter his cows
make. but for its quality. There need
be no hard feeling. for the patron can
stand by and see the churning done.
and test his butter if he chooses. and
then he will be quick to correct any
fault that may exist in the home man
agement. We are glad to say that this
plan is coming into universal favor. and
it gives complete satisfaction because It
does absolute justice to all concerned.
which can not be said of the old
methods of conducting cream cries.

One of the most remarkable things

motion 10 his arms which corresponds to
his tardy legs. Now, if the motion be
even carelessly observed, i, will be found
that the right arm swings forward at
the same time as the left leg. ard when
the right g is advancing it is the left
arm which accompanies it. This is the
natural gait, and to convince ones self
that it is so. it is only requ site to ct a
friend to walk across the room in the
opposite fashion, that is, to swing the
right arm forward when stepping out
with the right leg. and then, in the
same manner, when bringing forward
the left leg to accompany it with the
left arm. Such gait is both unnatural
and uncomfortable to the person who
tries it. and also ludicrcus to the OBJ
server who watches the first attempt of
the kind. The diagonal movement of
the limbs is t. e natural method adopted
by men when walking. and it is the first
and most apparent fact that one ascer-

REGULAR MILKING
An Essential to the Maintenance Of a Con.
slant Flow of MIX.

stdHt EioW Oh hiIks
Regularity in milking is very essen.
tial to the constant maintenance of a
constant yield of milk. This will be
found very apparent when daily weigh
ing or estimate by measuring the milk
is made and record is kept. During
two years, in a dairy of fifteen cows, a
record kept of each milking showed a
constant loss every Sunday when the
milking was two hours later. and the
evening sometimes later and sometimes
earlier. The average for five consecu-
tive weeks taken haphazard in July and
August. when the cows were in their
flush and fed upon sweet corn fodder
with a considerable quantity of ears
upon it, and therefore unusually rich
food. was as follows:
For the week days the average daily
yield per week of the fifteen cows was
as follows: $50 lbs: 3I5: 322; $40; 3lS.
The Sunday milking-charging the loss
on Monday morning as a part of the
effect of the regularity-were 252 lbs.
29S; SOL; 2S6: PA: in no case being
equal to the regular daily average.
1t is not difficult to understand the
reason. The DELAY in milking not only
disturbs the cows. but it has the effect
of producing congestion of the milk
glands. BY crowding them and over
stocking the fine ducts by which they
are drained. Every excessive muscular
or nervous action produces a correspond
ing react on and weakening of the
excited organs. Besides. when the fine
ducts and glands are filed. reabsorp-
ton takes place; and BY delaying the
milking still longer, COW may be in
time dried up and the milk product on
wholly stopped by this process of reab-
sorption of the milk There may be an
increased quantity of milk at the de-
layed milking. but the next one and
the next one to that will be decreased.
Whcr the irregularty is frequent. of
course the effect is greatly increased
and the injury correspondingly greater.
Regularity of feeding tends to the same
effect. and therefore regularity should
stand next in the list of essent al virtues
for the proper conduct of a dairy 70
