three gallons more cream than he ever
gets himself out of d milking and then
took twelve quarts Of milk that Mr..
Houston had had skinned thoroughly
and extracted a quart and half more
cream. Mr.. Houston's milk is SO rich
that nearly 33 per cent. of it is cream and
when the machine handled such rich milk
SO thoroughly the limit of testing was
reached. The machine costs 1925 and
will make home dairying much more
profitable and popular. 1t is worth while
for farmers to look into this matter The
machine is made in Stockholm, Sweden
The agent said he had never seen richer
cream in Sweden-or in the United States,
than Mr. Houstons. That shows the
value Of the Guernsey and Jersey cows
for dairy purposes.

Pasadena Roses.

Under this title lady evidently visit
ing there, writes to the Providence, r. l..
Sunday Journal in enthusiastic terms
concerning our flowers. After stating
that stories previously heard about the
number, variety and size Of Pasadena
roses had been heard by her with incre
duIity, she continues
And now we behold with our eyes
How shall we describe the roses There
seem to be. enough in this town to bury
the whole city of Providence They can
be counted in every garden by the thou
sands and we are well acquainted with
one house where, every morning for the
last fortnight between two and three
hundred roses, sparkling with morning
dew, adorn the breakfast table. A bank
of roses at each cover daZzles our eyes,
and even the most sordid appetite for
food would pause moment in reverence
and admiration before it attacked the
beefsteak and omelette. While we write,
a large rose tree is within view, with hun
dreds of pink blossoms and as many buds,
and having trunk as large as many of
our small trees. We counted in our par
lor this morning 200 fresh roses, incluG-
ing what are called rare varieties at home;
and though some Of our statements may
seem incredible, we have plenty Of wit
nesses to prove that they are not merely
California stories.
It is strange how much our senses can
stand of the beautiful we are enchanted
and surprised all day long, and are never
weary. We revel like the roses, and be-
come as reckless in our use of them as
they are in their capacity Of blooming.
Our daily regret is that we cannot send
wagon-loads to our hospitals at Home,
and our Flower Mission.
The one speciality of rose culture would
take lifetime here, and how can we
know anything about them during a
short soiourn, and our hearts and minds
constantly put to confusion by the many
other beautiful flowers which hold atten-
ton We have become accustomed to
the orange groves, now in full flower,
with a few oranges still lingering amid
the rich foliage and bloom, heavy with
perfume and perhaps we shall become
accustomed to the roses, but for the mo-
ment we write under the first impress
sions of their beauty and are spellbound
As we feel now. we would cross the con-
tinent every spring for few weeks
among the roses, and consider that our
time and the expense of the journey were
well repaid.

ever since, with the exception of three

victim to LaGrippe and never completely
recovered. For the past Tear he has been
constant sufferer and death came at last
as a welcome messenger. Mr.. Bassett
was one of our most industrious and re-
spected citizens, and will be greatly
missed by the many friends he had
gained by his long residence in Kenosha
County. The funeral services took place
at the Bristol M. E. Church on Sunday,
August 2nd, and the body laid quietly to
rest. The mourning friends have the
sincere sympathy of the entire commu-

Inventions and new machinery is
revolutionizing most Industries. One of
the most interesting instances of this is
seen in the DeLaval Separator. The
time when you must milk your cows and
let the milk stand for twenty-four hours
and then skim the cream off by hand is
past. By the use of the DeLaval separa-
tor which one man can operate by hand
the cream can be taken from the milk as
fast as five mixers can draw it from the
udders of the COWS, and this without any
delay or what. Not only that but more
cream will be obtained and it will be
cleaner. Mr.. De yey and the agent fol
the Separator went out to M. j. Salem
tines farm Monday evening and tried the
Separator. They obtained from Mr..
Salentine's d gallons of cream more than
he gets out of the same amount of milk,
by skimming it. They then took Ia
quarts Of skim milk and extracted half a
fiallon of good cream from that. Not
only thai. but the machine cleans the
milk and cream much more thoroughly
than the most careful straining can do.
Tuesday evening they went out to Mr..

Wizard of Wall Street"

The New York World, which is no
respector of persons, says of Jay
Gould in an article on his career:
Yet one must know more about
that career than has come to the SUR
face to discern in it the play of any
noble impulse or to iud in it any con-
spicuously noble action. The good
deeds of this man must have been
more than usually unobtrusive to
have so completely escaped notice.
1t is incredible that his life should
have been devoid of them, but neither
in number nor in kind have they been
sufficient to extort admiration or create
imitators. Wealth in his hands has
been, in Ruskin's phrase, as the net
of the spider, entangling and destroy
ing, not as the net of the sacred fisher
who gathers souls of men out of the
deep.
And the end of it all is execration
and contempt. shattered nerves and a
ruined digestion. There is nothing
in such life for the votary of the
lowest forms of pleasure to envy,
nothing for the most indulgent critic
for human nature to admire. The
only imposing thing about it is the
reported figure of the. fortune which
it has been spent in amassing, and
which, as "there are no pockets in the
shroud," he cannot take with him
when he died. All else is sordid,
mean and INSCRIPTIONS. The good
this man has done has had as little
relation to his purposes as if he had
been an elemental force in whose
course may come fertility as well as
ruin quickened energies no less than
terror and despair.

The widespreading influence OF
vicious legislation is forcibly illustrat-
ed in the effects of the Mckinley
tariff directly upon the cotton trade
and indirectly upon other branches
of business. BY increasing the tax
upon foreign cotton goods brought to
this country, and by helping to un'
settle business in Europe, one Of the
first effects of the new tariff was tostart
a decline in cotton that has only late
ly been arrested. The protected
manufacturers, in face of the decline
in the price of raw cotton, advanced
the prices of staple bleached and un-
bleached cotton goods proportionately
with the increased protection. But
the Southerners, being short of money,
reduced their purchases not only OF
cotton goods but Of all other manu-.
featured articles; and it is fact OF
the business situation to-day in ST.
Louis and every other commercial
centre that sales to the South are
markedly smaller than in ordinary
seasons. The vicious economic legis.
lation of the Billion Dollar Congress
as it affects cotton, therefore, hurts
not only the South but the manufac'
turing and business interests of the
whole country.-St. Louis Republic.

exceeds the demand the price Of labor
or wages will fall, and it will continue
TO fall until il reaches that point
below which laboringmen cannot live.
If the demand for labor is increased,
correspondingly, the price of labor
will remain the same. The same law
applies TO manufactured goods. If
the demand remains the same but
the supply can be restricted the
price will 90 up; if the supply
and demand remain the same the price
will remain the same. The benefciar-
les of high tariff understand this per.
fectly. They say to the workingman,
"Help us to maintain high tariff
on imported goods that will prevent
competition and of course restrict the
supply, then the price Of goods must
90 up. That will enable lis to pay
better wages to you" At the very
time they say this they know that a
tariff has no effect on the supply of
labor, and that no matter what the
price of their goods may be, if half a
dozen men are asking for the same
Job the price of labor must fall. And
mind you, they take good care that
Just as many men rs possible shall be
asking for the same job. There is no
tariff on labor-that comes in free,
and the laboring man in the United
States sells his labor in the free trade
markets of the world. Let any man
take the statistics of immigration into
the United States for the past 10 years,
and he will find that laboring men
and women have been pouring into
our country at the rate of from 300,.
900 to 100000 per year. Stop to
think. In four years enough laborers
coming here to settle State like
Michigan, and coming into direct COM
petition with labor must fall, and it
has fallen. But they say the price of
manufactured goods has gone down.
True enough. But every year ma.
chinery is taking the place of human
labor and cheapening the cost of man.
ufacturing and such cheapening more
than compensates the manufacturer
for the decline in prices; so it is
easy enough to see the scheme of the
high tariff advocates. The supply of
labor is unlimited, and no matter
what the demand may be, such de-
mand can be more than supplied,
while with a high tariff the supply of
manufactured goods can be restricted
and high prices maintained. The
only manner in which it affects wages
is to make the laborer pay higher
prices than he otherwise would have
to pay for what he consumes.-Sagi-
nav Globe.

The Tariff and Wages.

If there is any one thing more anus
ing than another, it is the wonderful
solIcitute some men pretend to have for
the American workingman at the very
time they are seeking some excuse to
lower his wages. "Don't lower taxa.
tion," they cry, cor wages will &c
down." 1--WE must have high tariff
on all imported goods so as to main
tain our standard of wages"
The time has past when it needs
any argument to show that a high
tarifprevents competition and enables
the manufacturer to maintain high
price for his goods and to compel the
people to pay such a price. That is
the real object of protective tariff
The manufacturer pretends that be-
cause he receives a higher price for
his goods than he otherwise would,
therefore he will pay higher wages
but laboringmen know that as a mat.
ter Of fact he will pay no higher wages
than he was obliged to and that de.
ponds on the supply of labor on hand
If the price of manufactured goods
was doubled to-day the price of labor
would remain the same. Asa matter
of fact, instance after instance has
occurred in this country where the
price of labor went down at the same
time that the price of protected goods
went up.
If the real object Of protective
tariff is to maintain wages in this
country, then wages instead of falling
should rise year by year they should
become greater. Wages are governed
the same as everything else that Is
bought and sold-by the law of supply
and demand. IF the demand for labor
could be increased without increasing
the supply, the price of labor or wages
would go up. If the supply of labor
