The Benefit OF Creameries.

There is rarely an enterprise that benefits
town, city, or county so much as an ex-
tensive creamery. Teams are employed to
convey the cream from the farmers within
a radius of from seven to ten miles, paying
the farmers as much, if not more, for a
guage of cream, which represents pound
of butter, as they conld get for pound of
butter if they marketed it themselves, be-
sides saving them the labor of churning,
packing, sailing and tubbage of the same,
and with the new appliances for raising
cream, one is enabled to get one-fifth more
cream than by the ordinary way of setting
milk. Further it brings all the patrons of
the creamery into the city or town where
the creamery is located, from one to four
times each month for their checks or cash,
where they naturally do their trading, and
the merchants get cash for their goods in
stead of an inferior quality of butter,
besides securing trade they would not other
wise get So every reader can see that a
creamery is mutual benefit and blessing
to any locality. 1t is the most feasible plan
of reaching the large butter districts, besides
rendering the grade of butter uniform, and
thus abolishing the quality of butter called
poor and grease. also retaining the sweet
skim milk for the calves and pigs.-ROmeO
ObSerCer.

WHOLE NUMBER 1922.

The concert given by Mr.. G. Z. Hutchins'
elementary class in vocal music, at the Disci-
pie church last Friday evening was very
fine and was listened to by large audience
No special preparations had been made
for giving concert and the music rendered
was, with the exception of the solos, duets
and quartettes, the ordinary work of the
class. Considering that, with only three or
four exceptions, the class consisted entirely
of beginners, and that the choruses were
rendered without any instrumental accom-
paniment, We think that both teacher and
pupils have reason to be we'll satisfied with
their winters work.

Patti and Her RIiHd Friend.

A London paper in speaking the other
day of PATHS talent for keeping the love
OF her friends through good and through
bad report, recalls to mind her lifelong
friendship for a blind schOOlmate of her
early childhood The families OF the
children were neighbors in New York,
and the little girls were constantly
together, confiding their childish secrets
to each other. and comforting each other
in every little sorrow. until finally the
time came when they must separate.
Patti going abroad to become in time one
Of the most famous singers in the world,
and her friend remaining here to meet her
destiny-a sad One-tirSt the total loss OF
her eyesiSht and then the death of her
lover The two did not meet again until
Fortune hal come to each, extending To
one all the gifts of the gods taking from
the other even that which she had. The
meeting was an effecting one. The blind
woman recognized her friends voice and
Patti in a moment had her in her arms,
kissing her poor sightless eyes and making
every demonstration Of joy at seeing her
and pity at her condition, while the other
passed her hand over the great diva's face.
trying to mark any change therein. Then
followed an exchange Of condolences as in
olden time, the two women sitting with
their arms about each other, like two
school girls, and during PATHS stay in this
city they were almost constantly together,
and anyone who saw her tenderness for
her helpless friend would have understood
why it is that Patti keeps so many warm
admirers New York World
