An Inch of Cream.

In gathering cream the creameries use
various measures, and of course these will
differ as the size OF the milk cans used vary
These measures are either all inch or
space. The cream is paid for by these
measures. 1t is an easy matter to tell how
much cream there is in one OF these meas
ures, but not to find how much butter the
cream will make, and this is one of the diff
fculties met with in this business. There
are several kinds OF cans or pals used, and
these from eight 10 nine inches in diameter
or more. Generally each creamery uses
the same can and fixes the measure in rela-
ton to the quantity of butter made from
one inch in depth or the cream in the cam
or standard measure called a space
To find the quantity OF cream measure the
diameter of the can and multiply this by it.
sell, which gives the square OF il. Then
multiply this by 1854, and the product is
the cubic inches Of cream in one inch deep
of the can. Thus, can nine inches in d.
will have 636 cubic inches III inch deep,
and this is usually taken as equivalent to q
pound OF butter. A quart contains 57a cubic
inches, and 1t requires more than quart of
ordinary cream to make pound of butter.
1t the can is shalt the circuTn ferance of a.
wagon Wheel it will take about enough
cream to make four pounds of butter to
make one inch III depth in the can.
Potato Tops.
The tops oil potatoes after the crop IS dug
contain much plant food, and as they are
mostly rotted down to dust in fall and win
ter this plant food is easily available. They
should not be taken to the barnyard and
conlposted with manure as was once adj
yised They rot readily enough without
composing, and mixing with manure only
pres rves the spores of the disease, which
may otherwise be carried over .or the in
jury OF succeeding potato crops Probably
The best use that can be made of potato
tops is to save them Tree from weeds and
use as mulch Tor straw berry beds. Here
they ROT, cover Ihe land lightly wife it
need covering. and do not have TO be
raked out the way in the spri g as straw
often does When it has been used as u vim
Ter mulch.

And during all this time We're Nupent
nurses the knowledge that although he
had apparently forgotten the fact, he
was engaged to another woman. that
she was helping to build his health up
to an cnd'which she would not be able
to share, that when he talked. MS he
did, SO happily and glowingly of the
future she would not be with him
when 1t came. And us each day went
by she grew moro sick at heart and
showed her trouble plainly in her sad
and wistful eyes.
AZ last the happy day came when he
was able to get up and he was allowed
to tottcr downstairs in very cautious
and uncertain fashion and was COM
fortably installed in wide and capa-
cious lounge and given We're to keep
him very quiet and good" And some
how during that afternoon We're came
to realization of the truth that the
sooner she went away from St. Johns
Wood the better.
With startling vividness her mind re-
called this episode at the Fish Ponds
We're played quite as well as she sang,
and one evening two or three dreamy
airs stole out from under her slSillful
fingers until mt last she felt that she
was telling any who might be listening
too much of what was in her heart.
She would play no more-she would
sing-and almost without her own will
and knowledge a pathetic little air
shaped itself into melody, and she sang
Fate came between,

Lumley jumped up and strobe over to
her side. For Gods sake, don't sing
that tonight" he muttcred, in a shal-
ing voice.
"Why not?" she asked without look
ing up.
He rested his hand heavily on her
shoulder for an instant. "It's like an
evil omen" he answered, then dropped
back into his chair again, not daring to
trust himself to stand beside her any
longer.
Now We're remembered that incident,
and felt that it had been prophetic 1t
helped her to decide upon going away.
So when Mrs. Jock came down to break
fast the following morning she found a
note addressed in Veres handwriting
lying beside her plate. "Why, what's
this?' she exclaimed,
Dearest Mrs. Jock" it said, az have

Lumlcy went on eagerly: ''But am

THE ORIGINAL GERRYMANDER.

THE ORIGINAL GERRYMANDER.
Indiana behaved herself fairly well
till the legislature of 1878 decided TO
drive Dan Voorhees, out OF congress. It
put his county of Vigo In district
which began fifty miles north northwest
of Terre Haute and ran off southeast
nearly to the Ohio-in shape somewhat
like a leanback chair with a footrest.
The result was that the people got an
CRY and soon after chose a legislature
which sent Daniel to the United States
senate, and there he has remained ever
since.
The ''shoestring district of Missis-
sippi was long famous. Following the
windings Of the Mississippi for the
length Of the state, it was 400 miles long.
As the negroes showed marked tend
ency to concentrate in the bayou re-
gion, the legislature of 1875 thought it
would be a good scheme to put all the
''black counties" in one district and let
the colored folks have it. They soon
lost it, however, and now we read in
the Congressional Directory that John
NJ. Allen, of the First, received 2,7s6
votes, and Joseph 81. Beeman, of the
Fifth, 6,S03 votes-''w without opposi.
ton"
South Carolina laid out to beat Mis-
sissippi, and did it the very first trial
by making her famous Seventh district.
Custom and county lines were disre-
garded, and BLACK townships picked
up here and there from northeast Sum
ter down TO James island, then around
q three-quarter circle almost to the
place of beginning, the width of the
district on the southeast being merely a
strip of beach between high and low
tide. When Mr.. Small represented this
district he joined on TO the almost
equally famous North Carolina district
Of Mr.. O'Hara, and thus these two col
ored gentlemen represented regior
some 500 miles in length and nowhere
wider than county.
The Second Arkansas district Is an
other curiosity, and like unto it are tn,
Eighth Wisconsin, Third Maine, Nine
tenth Illinois, Sixth Maryland. Second
Alabama, Seventh Missouri, Twenty
seventh Pennsylvania, and last, but IA
from least, the Eleventh Kentucky
This last contains seventeen countie
and is extremely Republican. In man,
OF these cases, however, the peculia
shape of the state has much TO do Wit
the apparent distortion
It goes without saying that a wa
must be found to stop this practice
And yet the strange fact remains tina
when every large state In the Union wa
more or less gerrymandered the net re
suit was just the same as If all had bee
fairly divided-thaS Is. congress ha

THE GERRYMANDER.
HOW A WELL KNOWN POLITICAL
TERM WAS COINED.

1t Is Eighty Years Since the Word Was
First Used. but the Practice IL Ds-
scrioes Is Still Young and Popular with
the Various Parties.
Elbridge Gerry C. hard. az in Garry,
was patriot and a statesman, signer
OF the immortal declaration and the in
yentor and sponsor Of the .'gerryman-
DER. de was governor OF Massachu-
setts In 1872, and his party majority was
dangerously small in the legislature. so
ne cut Essex county into two districts in
way the Federalists despised. A wit
said 1t looked like a salamander. "Say
rather Gerrymander," said another.
and the word was born.
Webster recognizes it and defines il "a
popularity understood. Governor Gerry
tnat same year Of 1912 was elected 10
the vice presidency on the ticket with
James Madison, and in 1914 died suddenly
IN ms carriage in Washington city. But
the gerrymander still lives, though the
recent decisions Of the supreme court of
Michigan lay down legal principles
which promise TO make an end of it as
soon as they can be applied elsewhere.
For several years after Gerry's perform
ance little was heard Of the practice,
but since the larger states became polit-
lcally close and fuctuating it has flour
ished amazingly.
Ohio presents beautiful field for the
manipulation. The curious way in which
line of counties ruled by one party
runs across the state, while line Of OBJ
posite politics runs parallel or nearly so,
makes 1t possible TO cut one way and
make two-thirds of the districts Demo-
cratic, or the other way and make two
thirds Republican-all on the same vote.
The result has been that for the last
twenty years or so the states delegation
IN congress was often of opposite poll
tics TO the state generally.
