That would be a very proper thing

In his pilgrimage for items on Tues

In his pilgrimage foritems on Tues
day morning the PRESS reporter
happnpd at the depot in time to see
the weeks butter shipment loaded.
There were 36 tubs and one barrel
OF butter shipped from Miller Onthat
morning, most of it going direct to
Chicago in a refrigerator car. The
entire shipment amounted to 2+3O
pounds, and the average price would
perhaps be in the neighbOrhOOd OF
10 cents. Il total OF $4,000. The
greater portion OF this butter is
choice dairy and shipped direct by
farmers. The genial G. * \. W.
agent j. p. Estee thinks this individ-
ual making and shipping OF butter is
more profitable to the farmer than a
creamery would be. Mr.. Estee came
from B~aIlaton, Mimi, in the neigh
bOrhood of creameries, and bases
his opiniOnupOn observation. While
ne believes in the benefits o. G1irying
and diversified farming he thinks for
II reason or another, perhaps the
fault of individuals, creameries are
not successfully conducted for u very
long time. His opinion is that dur
ing this and next month the butter
shipment will increase considerably.

FROM s1D1 TO smI.

All these villages are dreary places,
situated on strip of sandy soil be-
tween the Atlantic and the chain of
lakes. Beyond the lakes are plains on
which Craze horses. camels. goats and
sheep. tended by men who spend a life
like that passed by Chaldea and Pales-
tine by the authors of the Bible. In
the distance are three sacred white
domes. the tombs of saints. In Moroc-
co every district has its saints tomb,
and the traveller asks his way from
Sidi this to Sidi that. in the self same
way as the tramp in England steers
his course from "Chequers" to the
Bells All round the three white
tombs is a burial ground, for where a
saint is buried your true believer likes
to lay his bones. Women resort to
them to gossip and to pray, and to i'm
plore the saint to grant them children
who shall grow I'D horsenen and good
men at spear and gun. Something
about your Moorish cemetery appeals
to me.
Often it is a waste of lentisks, dwarf
rhododendrons. and arbatus, with ILL
les and white cistus intersDersed like
stars in a half cloudy night. Seldom
there is a wall and if there is one it
is generally builtof tapia (sun-dried
mud), crumbHng. and with many
breaches in it. If there is no wall, as
is most usual. the cemetery lies open
to all passers-by. Some of the graves,
rough slabs of stone without inscrip-
tions, stand UP, others are quite fiat,
and some are stuck edgeways in the
ground. A goat or two or a. Slack
curley lamb is always grazing there,
and paths in all directions cut it into
patterns. 1t is not the place to ride
across in the dark without SILVER,
and yet, by a sort of attraction, you
are sure to find yourself with a tired
horse at night galloping among the
graves on the outskirts of the town.
There is nothing to do on such an oc-
casion but give your horse his head,
reflect that those whose graves you
ride upon have been bold riders to a
man. and trust in Allah.-SaturGay
