Man at Birth Not Free.

Man at his birth is not free in any
sense. He can squall and squirm, but
he is absolutely at the disposal of his
mother or of whoever else is in charge
of him. 1t may be said that he be-
comes free, but that is equally ridic-
ulous. He is not free to choose his
language, his habits, his standard of
right and wrong. All these are i'm
posed upon him by his surroundings.
TO call men equal at their births, or
afterward, is similar Justification of
facts. The maxim does not mean that
at birth men are equal in the total lack
of freedom. Therefore, it means moth
ing at all u regards men at the mo-
ments of their births 1t is obviously
inapplicable to their conditions in after
life, in every stage of which the innate
inequalities of capacity and their re-
suits become more and more Marked

BUTTER AND CHEESE MAKING.
Biggest Dairy and Creamery supply House
ia the World.

1 biggest Dairy and Creamery supply mouse
in the World.
Farmers throughout the country are CON
stantly making inquiries as to machinery
and appliances for the making 4 butterand
cheese.
Areporter for Chicago paper was recently
detailed toinvestigate the subject. The result
Of the reporters tour was the discovery
that Chicago, which leads in SO many things,
contains the largest and most complete man
ufactory in the world for the production of
butter and cheese making machinery and
utensils. The concern is the Davis Il Ram
kin Building and Manufacturing Company,
one of the we'll known and reliable business
institutions Of Chicago, and occupies SPLEEN
did building at $40 to 254 Lake street. In the
several departments of its factory, which
occupy in the aggregate some three acres
of floor space, there is not an implement
or a piece of mechanis m, no matter how
simple or how intricate, that is not made in
this wonderful establishment. Six hundred
persons, all Of them, with the exception Of
about dozen, skilled wOrkmen and trained
experts, are employed The farmer who
owns two or three cows can find here, at in
significant cost, useful devices for convert
ing his milk into mark etable form, and the
community that wishes to establish acream-
cry large enough to take care of its entire
product Is accommodated with equal facil-
ity.
The centrifugal cream separator, for sep
arating cream from milk, is as great an in
vention in its way as the sewing machine,
the reaper or the cotton gin. The Davis g.
Rankin Company manufactures these de-
vices in great variety, from a low-priced,
but finely finished hand separator, worked
by means of crank, to the superb con-
trivance known as the Davis separator,
with capacities of from LOO to 5000 pounds
per hour.
For furnishing motive power this COM
pany makes an admirable engine, either hor-
izontal or upright in style, in which sim
plieity, compactness, strength, economy,
and durability are conspicuous points. This
is the only farm and dairy motor that was
awarded medal at the Worlds Columbian
exposition.
All persons interested can do no better
than to write to the Davis u Rankin Com
pany, and obtain catalogue of their cream
cry and dairy machinery supplies. When
you come to Chicago pay them a visit and
see one of the wonderful sights Of this won
derful city.
