The old school house, which has been
secured by the company on lease, viii
be fitted up for the business. It Ii ex-
pected that the machinery will arrive
next week, consisting Of q complete
new outfit. including boiler and engine.
for the manufacture of butter. and up
on It's arrival the machinery will be set
up without delay. 1t is the aim OF the
company to have the plant ready for
operation not later than May 10. The
ruling market price will be paid for
milk based upon the amount Of butter
fat 1t contains. This viii be determined
by one Of the latest improved BabcOck
testers, SO that it will pay those who In
tend to furnish milk to the creamery to
purchase the best dairy stock or work
Into that grade rs rapidly a. possible.
To begin with the creamery will have
. capacity for handling the product Of
800 COWS.
In speaking Of the advantages Of q
creamery TO the farming community,
gentleman who is furnishing milk t.
the Poplar Grove creamery, near COlfax
says that most Of the milk now used Il
delivered at the creamery by the share
holders. and they receive all the pro
ceeds for the sale Of the product except
the wages of the manager and such
small incidental expenses as salt, cloth
and fuel.
The owners were nearly all engaged
in making considerable butter for mar
ket before they embarked upon thi.
enterprise, and some of them had es
tablished markets for their superior
product. But all agree that the cream
cry furnishes a much more profitable
and convenient way Of preparing Their
product for market. The butter is moi
only of a better quality. commanding a
price several cents higher than the best
brands Of farm butter. but the amour,
obtained from a given quantity of IN ILL
is considerably greater by the improved
method. by the farm method it re
quired from four TO Eve gallons of mill
to make pound Of butter, but by mean
Of the separator process pound is oh
tanned from two and q half or tire,
gallons.
Another advantage is in the marke
which the product can command. 1t il
much larger and better and has les
competitor than the demand for tn,
poorer grades. aud Manager J. S. Bor
rette Is authority for the Statement
that the establishment Of more cream
cries in all parts Of the country is tend

woMAN.s NEW VIEW OF LOVE.
She 70 Said TO Be as Romantic as Ever,
But No Longer Sentimental

She 70 Said 60 Be as Romantic as Ever,
But No Longer Sentimental
When we come to consider the WON.
an of this time as she stands In regard
TO love, we touch the essential point of
her dissimilarity to the woman Of the
past; II vein of romance runs
through her-and the modern woman
ds often romantic, though never senti-
mental-love is still, in her estimation,
the best thing in life, bearing, never
theless, about the same relation to it as
fantasia does to an opera To her 1t
is a luxury, essential, though delight
full, bringing with 1t the keenest of
human sensations ard the most ephe-
meral. And this conviction of the
poignanoy and the evanescence of ser
nal affection lies at the very gate Of
desire, at once quickenipg 1t and
quenching it.
But that sublime faith in love which
has been living spirit in the soul of
Eve throughout the ages has gone
down before the eyes that are at last
unbandaged, and the mind whose per-
ceptions have been whetted by educa-
ton into seeing life steadily and see
ing it whole. In the love of the modern
woman there is not shred of illusion,
though 1t lacks neither subtlety nor
intensity. Even at white heat she has
never Pair de croire a son bonheur.
For the difficulty of believing in her
lover, which wrung the heart of Mari.
ana and her sister, has vanished before
the much greater difficulty of believ-
ing in herself.
As matter of fact, the instincts of
fidelity are not in her. She is not like
her grandmother, a fixed quantity, in
whom the prepossessions Of youth deep
ened as the years passed. In the good
old days life moved on leaden feet, and
love kept pace with it. A girl then
embarked on her first passion with the
firm conviction that it was going to
last her lifetime, and as a result it fire.
quently did. At fifty she was prac-
tically the same creature as at twenty,
and the same love sufficed for both de-
cades- She was faithful by nature as
well as by obligation, and knew as
little about her sensations as cabbage
does about it's growth. Love was to
her merely the ante-chamber to mar
riage, and the idea of pursuing it for
its own sake never dawned upon her
placid soul, wherein only known gods
were deified and domestic ideals cher
tshed
Nowadays the dust lies thick upon
all these. Life is no longer sluggish,
but ardent-earnest, impetuous-its
waters whipped to fineness, and its

new things within her reach, new per-
spectives, new aspirations, new affec-
tions! As her nature blossoms it
hungers for fresh food at every stage
of its velopment-interests with
pulse in them-sensations with a
bloom on them. How should the man
of her maiden favor fulfill the need of
her maturity? To every season it's

love? Review.
