III Is remarked that the question
may suggest itself To many as to WHY
cream should sell for so much more
than milk from which it is produced.
The explanation lies mainly in the
fact that the consumption of cream is
comparatively small, re.
garding it as Il great luxury. Con.
sumerS are not generally aware of the
fact that ii would be more economical
to purchase milk and raise their own
cream. 1t is also probably true that
competition in the sale Of cream will
ultimately lower its price To one more
nearly corresponding to that of the
milk. The values placed upon the
several products in DR.. Golfers in,
v~estigations were "a cents hper quar-,
for mix, % cents a pound for butter
20 cents a quart for cream. and &c
cents a pound for cheese about one

Anxieties of "a Lighting Plant Man
ager,

The management and control of
electric generators often puts a severe
strain on the attention of the eiectri-
clan in charge. This is especially the
case in England. where atmospheric
conditions are more variable than in
this country. In the city of London
supply station. Il cloud passing over
the face of the sky, or the presence of
the least fog Will put on an instantan-
III load equal to 200 or D horse
power, during daylight hours, and an
emergency staff of men on duty, but
within instant call. is always in readi-
ness to meet Such demands. Then
there is always a sudden demand for
supply of current when large numbers
of lights are switched on together, and
as sudden q cessation of demand when
they are switched off: The EYE of the
electrician, therefore. has to be con-
stantly on his indicator. The dynamo
must be regulated according to the
least variation in the call for current.
or there would be a serious hitch. In
addition to the care and watchfulness
required within the station, there are
outside contingencies which may III
stantly throw a whole town into dark
ness. a few weeks ago some men in
a town in Westmoreland had been cut
ting a drain in a street which inter-
sected the wire conducting the local
supply of electric current. Just be-
fore leaving they managed 10 cut the
wire about half through. and then GOV
cred it up without saying anything
about it. For a while all went well.
and there was no sign of any Interrupt
ton. Suddenly the wire gave way,
and in a moment every light in the
place went out. The responsibility
that rests upon the manager of a sta
ton under such conditions as these,
can easily be understood, and it need
not be a matter of surprise if many
men become nervous. eXcitable and
unhinged under the strain.

Bachelors Are "Up to Snuff"

The establishments of many wealthy
bachelors are mounted on n scale of
extreme elegance, nothing lacking to
make their living houses models of
good taste. When a bachelor gives a
dinner, one of his female relatives
takes the seat opposite him and acts
as hostess. The bachelor host takes
the initiative on entering the dining
room. conducts the lady of greatest
Importance to her seat, which should
be on his right hand. Most bachelors
of the haut ton are up in the etiquette
of entertaining. and need 10 coaching
in order to do the proper thing.

A Hens Feline Pets.
Queer Pets of a MOtherIy Old
Specified Hen.

Specified Hen.
William Ohler, Of Bethel, Conn,
owns an old speckled hen that has a
heart as tender as her flesh is tough.
Last week she adopted two kittens
that were deserted 10y their unnatural
mother.
The old cat left her offspring in the
barn where tehy We're born and did
not return for several days. The
speckled hen was sitting on n nest
Of eggs nearby. After the cat disap-
peared the kittens began TO meow
plaintively. The speckled hen, cack-
ling and clucking softly, strutted over
TO the kittens and tried to comfort
them. She huddled them under her
wings, cooling hen-fashion, and did her
best to tell them that she would be a
mother to them.
That night, and for several days
thereafter, the speckled hen watched
over the kitchen c~easelessly. Her own
nst Of eggs was neglected. h COW
cred her foster children with her
wings, gave them good advice and an
occasional scolding in hen language,
and tried frequently 10 induce them TO
Eat n worm or a bug. The kittens
grew weaker and weaker day after
day for lack OF proper nourishment,
and then
The cat came back minus an eye
and considerable fur. She tried 10 APP
proach the babies. but the tough old
speckled hen would not allow her.
She few at the cat, cackling t~iercely
and striking tabby with her stump
spurs and wings. The eat was driven
away every time she ventured near
the kittens.

Dairy Notes.

Don't forget to prepare a special
green crop to tide the cows over a
summer drouth.
First-class butter, if sold in the
right way, always brings a profit, but
low grade rarely eve pays the cost
Of production.
The consensus of opinion among sue
cessful dairymen seems to be that II
IL better to raise the dairy cows than
to purchase them.
The first requisite in profitable but
ter making is to have the right kind of
cows-those that produce h largest
amount of butter fat at the least ex'
pense.
There is no such thing as keeping
milk pure and sweet in dirty milk
vessels. They must be frequently
scalded and well dried. Cold water
won't clean milk vessels.
The North Carolina experiment sta
ton o a plan for buying and
selling cows. The rule is TO pay for
the cow at the rate of So per gallon
of milk given per day that Is rich
enough to show 3 ID per cent OF fat.
To this price add or subtract n dol.
lar for every o~ne-fourth of one per
cent. BY this rule a COW is bought
entirely on her merits.
of a dairy farm buttermilk cannot
be better disposed Of than by feeding
II TO fowls. 1t will decidedly improve
the egg production, aud the hens soon
grow eager for 1t. Where given freely
there Is little demand for water, and
its saline qualities are of benefit. II

why Butter Has Been So Slow


Here we were with the receipts Of
butter suddenly increased away be-
yond the demand, and butter very low
indeed for midwinter. Now, what was
the cause? 1t is not hard to explain.
OF course, we have had al abundance
of feed and a mild winter, and have
gone into winter dairying more, but The
main cause is that filled cheese has
ruined our cheese markets 10 a great
extent. and ruined our cheese con-
sumers' appetites TO a great extent,
and the cheese factories have turned
into butter factories, adding a surplus
that is enormous and was unlocked
for by the butter producers. Now the
remedy for this Is TO legislate against
the bogus article so that genuine
cheese will again come in favor as an
article of food and get most of the
cheese factories back to their old-time
business. and the butter supply Will
not be in excess of the demand, and
the cheese industry will also be profit
able. | believe that n dairyman, but

the further concession of reducing
the price of gas to consumers from
$3.50 to $3.50 per thousand feet. I'm
less this was done, the opinion seemed
to prevail that the city should pro-
coed to install plant of it's own for
street lighting.
The subject of paving Front street
was brought up and considered at
length, and it was the general feeling
that it should not be paved at pre-
sent, on account of it's being torn up
so frequently in putting in and re-
newing connections, and for the
further reason that some of those
present claimed to know of instances
where brick paving had proved to be
poor. 1t was thought that another
five years would demonstrate the adj
vantages of brick as paving mater
al. 1t was thought that asphalt paw
ing would be too expensive.
The meeting decided in favor of
placing a deep covering Of broken
stone, lime stone or hardheads, upon
the street, as was done some twelve
years ago, and as has been done on
the extreme north end of the street
lately 1t was thought that this
would make fine street that would
last for five or ten years.
The work on Hickory street was
taken up, and it was considered to be
very unsatisfactory. In order to bring
it into good condition, it was held
that it should receive coating of
pure gravel at city expense, inasmuch
as it is an experimental block and has
already cost the property owners
largely. Mr.. A. G. Meyer is quoted as
saying that his assessment was $3.50,
and that he wished that he had ad-
ded another $3.50 and had paved
street.
Another objection advanced to
brick paving on Front street was that
the side streets ought to be paved at
the same time, else mud would be
hauled on the paving on wagon tires,
and the street would be in the same
