The Creamery business is destined to
succeed in Somerset County wherever
properly managed. The latest move
ment in this direction is the Creamery
at Scion started So late in the fall of
1898 that it barely got its machinery in
working order before winter came on.
The first seasons work has been fully
up to the expectation and the sales. have
been very satisfactory. The Superin-
tendent knows the business all the way
through and has connection with parties
extensively engaged in the business
which gives him unusual facilities for
handling butter of the quality turned
out by the Scion creamery. There is no
danger of overstocking the market with
butter of the superior quality that can
be produced in the rich pastures of
Somerset, watered as they are by
springs and brooks and stocked as they
are with the grasses best adapted to
grazing purposes. Hay raised in SOM
erset towns also for feeding cows in the
long season they are kept at the Inter
is, when properly cut and cured. of the
best qualities for producing milk and
butter. All the way from 1900 to 200
lbs. of butter per week have been made
at the Scion institution during the first
season and the farmers are making ar
fragments to increase their stock of
cows so that the product another season
may he doubled. One hundred more
Gov at an early day are expected to be
added to the number which now cOntri-
butte to the cream used at this factory,
and still there is room. An increase of
100 to Solon's quota of milk cows means
substantial Improvement in the produc-
tive capacity of Scion farms and in their
cash value. 1t is safe to say that any
Somerset town can with profit double
its COW population. He who makes two
cows grow where one grew before is II
public benefactor. Let this be done and
the axiom about two spears of grass will
take care of itself. Double the number
of good cows in a farming town and you
do more for it than you can in any other
practicable way.

Scion does not give the evidences of
growth aud mercantile prosperity that
the adjoining up river town does but its
new Steam lumber mill and Creamery
completed during the past year are sub
stantal improvements and advantages
that no town, little or large, would
lightly value, In the matter of new
buildings other than the above little has
been done in the village. The Moose
head Pulp and Paper Company has run
its pulp mill through the season with
brief interruption and is now running on
full time with an average crew. There
are several empty stores in town, not
an unusal thing in county village of
Solon's dimensions, this year, or for that
matter, in an ordinary year. Scion with
its immense water power, its big pulp
mill, its smaller water power for local
purposes, its rich outlying agricultural
tracts, its industries and its men and
women of intelligence and energy, has a
future equal to the best of Somerset
towns.

The spread of Life.

One Of the problems that continually
confronts the naturalist is to account
for the distribution Of identical forms
Of life among widely separated locali-
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished in
many ways that appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly have thought of them in
advance of their actual direction.
Some interesting facts have recently
been cleaned concerning the disper-
sion Of fresh-water mollusks, account
ing for their appearance in remote and
isolated ponds. 1t appears that water
fowl play an important part in this
work. Ducks have been known to car
ry mussels attached to their feet a
hundred miles OF more. Bivalve mol
lusks not infrequently cling to the toes
of wading birds, and are thus trans
ported for considerable distances.
Even aquatic insects have been known
to carry small fresh water mollusks
attached to their legs.
In such Il manner does nature COM
pel the various inhabitants of the earth
to assist one another whether they will
or not.

tiger made no sign. but kept straight
on. Several natives were IN a cliff

Thirteen shots Capt. Lugard counted.
Still the tiger kept on, and soon disap-
peared in a dense thicket of thorns
on the steep hillside.
He must be riddled with bull cts, the
hunters thought, and had crawled in
there to die. The captain On his ele-

he gave no sign. Evidently he was

Pride is the birthright Of almost

Of the race may take up the occupa-
ton of a beggggar does not shut him out
from the possession of it. An American
traveller relates that in alighting at q
hotel in Granada he saw Il man ut the
door put out his hand toward him.
The traveller supposed that the man
was the porter of the hotel, and offered
him his valise. The man stepped back,
tossed his head and frowned scorn-
fully.

Indeed? Then may I ask, senior,
