c. E. Kirk, Agent:
When you and Mr.. Barden came here
last fall to sell creamery told you 1
had been thinking for some time about
changing from the large pans to creamery
but had not seen one that suited me. 1 then
looked the Barden and told you 1
after over two months trial know it is. The
workmanship and action are perfect and it
does its own skimming. There is no lifting
of cans nor gearing to fuss with. I think the
difference in the quantity and quality of my
butter will more than pay for it this year to
say nothing about the saving of labor which
my wife begins to think is no small item.

Golden Bough. when the ground is
parched with drouth, some girls strip
themselves naked. and. led by an older
woman, who is also naked, they steal
a harrow and carry it across the field
to a brook, where they set it afloat.
Next they sit on the harrow and keep
tiny flame burning on each corner of
it for an hour. Then they leave the
harrow in the water and go home.
A similar rain charm is resorted to
in India; naked women drag pillow
across the field by night. 1t is not
said that they plunge the pillow into a
stream or sprinkle it with water. But
the charm would hardly be complete
without it. Sometimes the charm
works through an animal.
To procure rain the Peruvians used
to set black sheep in n field, pour
chica over it and give it nothing to eat
till rain fell.
In the district OF Sumatra all the
women of the village, scantily clad, go
to the river, wade into it and splash
each other with water. A black cat is
thrown into the water and made to
swim about for a while then allowed
TO escape to the bank, pursued by the
splashing of the women. In these
cases the color of the animal is part

bicycle riders and the great defenders
