CREAMERY SITES.
Some Things without Which There
Is No Chance of Success.

Some Things Without Which There
Is No Chance of Success.
The large number of creamerie.
which are now building makes it worth
while to give word of caution in re
gard to the selection of sites. A great
many creameries prove unsuccessful
because the expense account is toe
large. This account may be materially
affected in the choice OF site. In the
first place there must be roads con-
veniently leading to it, and they must
be good roads. If there is trouble in
this respect the most distant patrons
will drop off during the season of bad
roads and the output VIII be reduced,
while the expenses do hot diminish.
In the next place, it must be well
drained. We do not say that good but
ter cannot be produced in a creamery
situated on low, undrained ground, but
we do not believe that owners suf-
fcientIy nnwise to locate a creamery in
such place will usually be wise enough
TO overcome the difficulties which they
thereby create. And if they do, it will
cost a lost of money and increase the
expense account.
There must be a never-fai1ing and
abundant supply of pure water. With
out this there can be no chance of sue
cess. Fortunately, the requirements in
this direction are not too large to be gen.
orally attainable, but sufficient sup
ply is essential. Finally, the factory
should be so situated that the milk
should flow by gravity wherever it is to

vantages in this respect, but when that
is not possible it will usually pay to
construct a plank incline. When the
milk is loaded on the wagon the
cheapest way to elevate it is by horse
power. a milk pump is not an easy
thing to keep clean, to say nothing OF

A factory thus located will attract
patrons, and the more milk it receives
the more profit for all concerned.-Sap

Experiments with Cabbnges.

From the Maine station come notes
on experiments in cabbage culture.
Three varieties were compared to test
the effect of size of seed on the heads.
In two varieties the larger seed was
found to produce much heavier heads
Tying up the outer leaves was found to
have no influence upon the maturity
of the head, as is popularity supposed,
while 1t caused a marked decrease in
size, and the moisture collecting with
in the leaves almost invariably caused
the heads to decay. Mulching the
plants with swale hay produced heads
slightly larger than were borne by un-
mulched plants used as checks. But
little effect on the size of the heads was
produced by deep cultivation. but
plants 20 treated appeared to mature
more uniformly than when shallow cul-
tivoti0n was given

NJ. Baudry, the manager of Rus
sian sugar factory, proposes to purify
beet sugar by single electrolysis. He
has been so successful that he has dis
cstrded all other methods. He finds
that the electrolytic method gives a re-
duction of 80 per cent. in the amount OF
lime used, elimination of salts of lime;
reduction from one hour to 35 minutes
in time required for carbonation; more
rapid evaporation and increase of from
90 to 25 per cent of daily work of fac
tory; reduction of coloration of juice
from 100 to %, and complete suppress
sion of fat in carbonation. The filter
press which formerly YEAS too weak is
now too powerful. The process is sim
pie. Lime is added to juice after diff
fusion. 1t is then filtered and electro
lyzed. The consumption of zinc is 90

all of these state roads are the main
tEorouchfaTes radiatlrg from the bust
ness centers, where there is a large
amount of travel, making it necessary
to build substantial and expensive
roads, with n view to a constant in
crease OF travel. But good engineering
does not consist in expanding large
Gums, but in building the best possible
roads with the least amount of money,
although the opposite sometimes APP
pears to be the case.
The preparation of the subgrade or
roadbed, making it suitable for the
broken stone, is first in order. It is to
be brought to the grade line and with
the same crown as the finished road
way. then rolled with a roller of not
less than ten tons weight, until hard
and compact as possible, all depTes-
sionS being filed SO that the stone will
be of uniform thickness. Then it is
ready for the first course Of broken
stone of four inches in thickness, which
is AS thick as will roll to the best adj
vantage. This course is then rolled I'M
til compact enough not to be disturbed
by the empty teams passing over it.
Then il is ready for the second course
of the same thickness, to be treated in
the same manner as the first, care al
ways being taken to roll from the out
side towards the center. With this
course the shoulders of gravel are to be
rolled and it is then ready for the last
course of screenings or dust Care
must be taken in putting this on; 1t
should be spread just thick enough to
cover the broken stone and fill the
spaces between them, then vaterecl and
rolled until the mud shall flush to the
surface. This works the dust down be-
tween the stone, making a solid COM
pact waterproof roedEed.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
A Maxsachusetts Civil Engineer Pre-
SCENTS His Views.


Massachusetts is foremost in the
work of constructing better roads, her
example having already been followed
by six other states. The system which
the commissioners in this state have
adopted of building one-mile sections
IN different parts of the state is that
they are all parts of one general plan,
simply links in the chain, and when
completed and joined will make contin-
uous good roads through the state each
way, east, west, north and SOuth-a
work that will contribute greatly to the
prosperity of this state. / believe every
branch of industry, agricultural, man
ufacturing and commercial, Will be
stimulated and made more productive
by it. Good roads are a special benefit
to the country districts, where the de
mand is for better roads than the towns
can afford to build and maintain.
Prices of farm products are fixed at
the great cities. centers of cOnsump-
ton and distribution. and are largely
beyond the farmers control, and the
cost of transportation is a principal
factor in determining whether there
is any profit for him or not The diff
ference between good and bad roads is
often the difference between profit and
loss. to farmers situated far from mar
ket.
1t has been my privilege for the past
year to be in position to see and know,
in a practical way, the manner and
methods of construction of these state
roads, in different parts of this state.
as now being built. [ am convinced
that to construct roads intelligent!y
requires a good degree of professional
skill, but not that alone. Technical en-
gineering must yield to practical COM
mon sense methods in dealing with the
problems constantly being met with in
the varied conditions in road building
such as variety of soi!-hilly, wet, clay
land that is necessary to thoroughly
drain, and III some sections loose sand
and in others good gravel, and every
where is to be met the destructive eff
feet of the elements and the deep frost,
which work n great injury to an i'm
properly built road. Economic condi-
tions must also be considered. Nearly

Her Wonderful Advance in Prosper
ity Under BimetaIIism.
Since the early '7Os, when American
and European property began to de-
cline because of the decentralization OF
silver, Japan's growth in prosperity I'M
der bimetallism has been one of the
wonders of the world. In 1885 Japan
exported SSH, 800 worth of textiles. In
1895 the value of such exports was S22,-
1T7,626. In the same time the exports
of raw silks increased from S14.413, 39e
to $50. 92S. 44O; of grain and provisions
from S4.514,S43 to S12.723.TT1; OF
matches, from 500. SOS to S4.672. sol; of
porcelain. curios and sundries, from ST.
$40 to S11, .701; while Japan's
commerce for 1895 increased by S30,-
coo, 900 over 1894, reaching a total of
exports and imports of S296. 200. 900, or
about $3.50 per capita. 1t therefore
does not seem likely that arguments in
favor of the gold standard in Japan
are based upon the condition O. the
country.
What other sources can arguments
in favor of it be drawn from? Per
hans the answer may be found in the
fact that the number of banks in Japan
has lately been increasing ver< rapid
Iv There are now nearly SOD banks,
with a total capital of 1896. 34s yen
and total loans of las, 71o,167 yen; the
