THE DAIRY PRODUCT.
Tho State COmmissiOners' Report Sho,
. Gratifying Increase.

NOU0m100hOHoIN' SHOWS
Gratifying Increase.
The third annual report of the State
Dairy Commissioner has been Aled with
the Governor. During the year ended
November l, 1889, the markets for dairy
products have been quite uniform, there
being no fluctuations in the price of
butter and cheese. Attempts have been
made to introduce tho sale OF oleo-
margarine, but the result was that only
four retail licenses were taken out in
the State, one each at Ottumwa, Mncha-
chinook, Council Bluffs and Kcokuk.
Speaking Of tho development Of the
dairy the Commissioner says:
Although prices for butter have ruled lower
the present season than for many years yet
there has been large increase in the pro-
duction. II H. however, encouraging to be able
TO report that there has been marked i'm.
provement ip the quality Of butter made In the
creameies this year over that OF any former
year. We now have 6oe creamerics ana in 1883
produced 4l,5s6,548 pounds OF butter In the
State From repNts from each individual
the product OF creamery butter will bo IS per
cent. greater In 1850 than IL WAS in 1883 The
number Of cheese factories In the State is l6A,
and the product Of cheese this year IL at
least IS per cent. greater than last year.
The manufacture Of cheese has been more
remunerative than that OF butter during the
year.
The financial statement shows an ex-
penditure OF S2.670. Statistical tables
show that the creameries manufactured
4l,576,5is pounds and Of cheese 4, 4O6, ,00s
pounds. The average price OF this but
ter was 81 cents and Of cheese cents
per pound. The estimated value OF
butter is ss,731,O75 and OF cheese
S306, ,54s. To obtain the value oi
dairy butter for 1858 Mr.. Sherman
takes the amount as returned by the
census Of 1884, which was $3.50, Isl
pounds at IS cents Q pound, or s6,esa,'
46s. This, added to the butter and
cheese product, makes total Of SIS, ,41O,'
009. To this the commissioner adds l:
per cent. increase this year over last and
the estimated product for 1850 is sl6.
570,235.

his side as more than friend on her
drst visit to Folly Mill farm.
But that was years ago, and tonight
that almost feminine sweetness had
been transformed into an expression in.
dicating heartachc.
1t hadn't all come about just tonight,
but this evening it seemed that the
acme of sad disappointment had been
reached.
John looked at his face as reflected in
tho mirror and a strange. yearning qucs-
tioning came into the misty gray eyes
involuntarily.
Yes he said, slowly, as If in an
swer, Il am growing old; there's tingc
Of gray already in my hair. and am
only thirty-eight. 1t is not always years
that weigh one down.
That was as far as John Anderson
generally went along this line Of solilo-
guy. The unspoken surged back to his
heart, where the altar fires burned
steadily to shattc red idols.
To be sure he had never loved but
this once, yet it would be the last, for
no other image should ever be placed
on the pedestal sacred to her memory.
MySteriOusly and in an unexplain-
able manner She had gone out Of his
life on Thanksgiving night some -four
years previous: but he kept the light oi
hope burning in the windows Of his soul
for her return, for Mnricl was Muriel
still.
Sister Bessie had no patience with his
''moping;" but then he thought she had
never had such experiences, and that
accounted for her lack Of sympathy.
The broad acres OF Folly Mill farm be-
longed to the twain; but the pleasant
roomy villa seemed SO lonely now since
that memorable summer.
It didn't seem great while ago, We,
the years had driftcd away and now to-
morrow would be another anniversary.
1t would be vastly different, how
0ver, from that one when parlor and
hall were filled with merry groups, and
the long tables were set in the great
dining-room to hold the display O.
Bessic's Thanksgiving dinner.
And what q chattering there was. He
should always remember it, and how
happy he was with her so near and deal
to him.
Tomorrow they would come home

SALT LAKE CRY, q. T., Nov. l6.-
The investigation into the character Of
the oaths administered in the Mormon
ceremonies in the endowment house
was continued Friday. Levi Axten
swore that the penalty for divulging
secrets was death. He understood that
the setting up Of the kingdom Of God
on the ruins Of the United States meant
that Mormon church was to rule.
Counsel read extracts from the discourses
of Brigham Young and other leaders
to support the testimony Of hostility to
the United States Government and the
domination Of the Lords chosen people
through tho kingdom Of God on earth.
The investigation is likely to end in a
demand that Congress shall disfranchise
the entire sect.
