been backed up to 1t, the car broken into
and 50 sacks or a wagon load OF flour
stolen. The officials have been quietly
nosinQ around since that time and think
now they have it located. Search war
rants were issued to-day to ferret out, il
possible, the contents of some suspected
quarters.
TalmaCe: There are hundreds of
ministers who have hard work to make
sermons because no one expresses any
appreciation. They are afraid OF max
ing him vain. The moment the bene-
diction is pronounced they urn on their
heels and 60 out. Perhaps it was a sub
ject on which he had put especial pains.
He sought for the right text, and then
did his best to put the old thought into
some new shape. He had prayed that
it might go to the hearts Of the people.
He had added to the argument the moet
| vivid illustrations he could think OF.
He had delivered all with a power that
left him %nervously exhausted. Five
hundred people may have been blessed
by it, and resolved upon a higher life and
nobler purposes. Yet all he hears is the
clank of the pew door, or the sbufiing OF
feet in the aisle, or some remark about
the weather, the last resort OF inanity.
Why did not that nan come up and.say
frankly, "You have done me Rood!"
Why did not some woman come up and
say, II shall 60 home and take up the
burden Of life more cheerfully" Why
did not some professional man come up
and say, "Thank you, dominic, for that
good advice. I will take it. God bless
you!" Why did they not tell him 80?
have known ministers, in the nervous
reaction that comes to some after the
delivery of a sermon with no seeming
result, to go home and roll on the floor
in agony.
Here is a whole chunk of information
on the creamery business from the dairy
convention ut Huron: In answer to 9
question as to the cost Of producing g
pound Of butter, MI. Sherwood, secre.
tary Of the De Smet creamery, said that
at plant the average expense was from {
to 4 cents. He did not have the tota
expense account OF the year, but about
7 cents per pound would cover shipping
expenses, commission, carriage, etc
With respect to testing MIR. Sherwood
said: Il don't know why it is, but FOL
some reason we seem to have a higher
test than most OF the creameries around
us. We churned out 600 pounds o
butter from 10000 pounds of milk. Tn.
test that month was 4.O7. Our compos
ite test for December was 4.08; we ge

Here is an instances: A farmer live
about three miles I, ON town. He milk
twenty common cows that he picked VI
here and there; fed no grain, but fed ha,
cut from the prairies at night, and tn
test was 4.05. We paid at the De Sine

milk in December; q cents per poun'
for butter the same month" E. r. {
Gross, Of thu Pleasant Valley creamery
in Lake county, spoke on "Co-operativ
Creameries." From a small beginning
the creamery has grown to be a perma
nent fixture and it's patrons are no,
realizing fair returns from the invest
ment. 1t is conducted strictly on tn
CO operative plan. In 1895 it paid to it
patrons $7,2O5.35; the plant is valued a
$1,000.
