What do you think of Tom Thomp-
sons agent who comes into your city
solicits your advertisements for a
program folder and takes it out of town
to have it printed? This is what he
did. Now he will want YOU to contribute
for Mr.. Thompson's services as a
temperance lecturer. He is a daisy
and so is the job. Some country
printer did the work cheap. Yes, so
cheap 1t has no value. Nothing like
cheek and plenty of the thickest kind.
For original and nobby window adver-
Using and decoration in the twin cities
J. r. Chapman, the jeweler, takes the
| lead. He puts considerable time and
expense in this sort of display work and
hardly Monday comes along without
something new and rich to be seen in
the Chapman windows His latest is a
large clock-dial, the Roman figures on
the face being represented by the clever
use of jack-knives, pen holders, nous
tache combs, scissors. gold hat pins,
WAX and seal, knife fork and spoon. etc.
The hands are fine silver pen holders
with gold pens. The clock keeps per-
feet time, the pen holderhands moving
as on a regulator. Few people pass by
without stopping to examine this pretty
piece of mechanism and Mr.. Chap
man has received many compliments
this week.

cry.
The capacity of the Rocky Ford
annex is 10000 pounds daily. Mr..
Babcock says: 1--WE will buy all
the milk we can get. Later when
the weather is cool farmers living
at distance need come but every
other day. In the winter time all
the farmers around Catlin and
other thickly settled portions of
the valley can haul their milk by
the wagon load down to the cream
cry. Then they will be through
with the most Of their work and
can give more time to dairying.
During the warm months of the
year the market is flooded with
cheap butter and the prices of but
ter fat is necessarily low, but in
the winter butter is scarce and
prices go up, and dairying pays
much better. Early in the fall
farmers should begin making ar
ranghments for the care Of their
cows by building good warm sheds
also having good clean milk
houses It would also be we'll for
people to put up ice during the
winter. We weigh and sample
zach patrons milk separately and
carefully test it with the Babcock
Tester which is now used in nearly
all the creameries in the u. s.
We pay the 18th of each month" )"
