MIR. j. e. Nissley Of the Kansas
Creesmery company says, in a recent
interview, that the report that the
creamery business in Kansas is being
overdone is q mistake. He said:
"Kansss has been known as a wheat
and corn raising country. The farmer
can just as we'll raise good milk COWS
and furnish milk to creameries. The
grain they raise they can feed to the
stock. The money derived from the
milk is like g pension to them. They
average from S. to 500 a month. and
that is q good deal for a person who
don't have TO pay out anything for
living expenses The creamery bust
ness is on the increase and the
demand ls increasing, / don't think
there is any danger Of the business
being oVerdone"
Nevertheless, there was recently
quite a slump in butter, said to be due
10 too much on the market. Kansas
has overdone 80 many industries until
she ruined them that it pays to make
haste slowly.

Florlda'a Profitable Pineapple Crop,

FlOrlda'S Profitable Pineapple Crop
From the reports of all those who
have shipped pineapples already this
season and have received returns for
them, we learn that the prices received
have been very good 80 far By this
we mean they have brought from seven
to eight cents apiece for poorer quail
ity Of common pines up to ten, 10 and Ia
cents apiece for good ones of the com1
mon kind, and in some cases even mora
than that, This is doing very well, and
IL the rest Of the pines shipped this
seasop average onything like this IN
prices the growers will be perfectly
satisfied, for at such prices there Isf
money in raising them. OF course the
fancy pines that were shipped brought
fancy prices, in most cases selling all
the way from % cents to one dollar,
and In some instances $3.50 apiece.
This year is the banner year as far as
the crop is concerned, and, from indl-
cations now, # bids fair to be the bans
ner year for prices and profits also,
Phere is surely good money in rais-
ing pines, and our growers are finding
1t out this year even if they never knew
1t before.
The statistics of the present crop can
not be obtained in full until the close
Of the shipping season, but estimates
promise a total of 10000 barrels or
100000 standard crates.-Tropical Sum.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time OF the year cold Is
very easily contracted, and II left TO
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable TO re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used II quite
extensively and it has always given en-
tire satisfaction. Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be a certain preventive OF pneu-
monia. Among the many thousands
who have used It for colds and la
grippe, we have never yet learned OF a
single case having resulted in pneu-
monia. Persons who have weak lungs
or have reason to fear an attack OF
pneumonia, should keep the remedy a,
hand. The % and so cent sizes for sale
