Those who have a passion for gam
bling and have found it Improbable, a
CLASS nearly as numerous as those who
gamble at all, might well consider the
recent announcement that dividend Of
$4,000, 900 for last year has been declared
by the stock company running the gam
ing tables al Monte Carlo.
That amount, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, Is the interest on $1,000
900, and represents an extraordinary
profit.
There are about 400 900 visitors n year
at Monte Carlo, and as, in addition 10

pcnses OF the gambling resort. with its
thousand attaches, they viii not be dis
posed TO deny that gambling is high
~ expensive amusement.
Though there is a tradition that
somebody occasionally breaks the bank
at Monte Carlo. It's dividends are never
seriously affected.
The visitors to Monte Carlo could
make at least s5,oOO,oco year by not
going there.

Valuable Hints from the Corneu
Agricultural College.
The instructor at Cornell agricultur-
al college, Ithaca, n. Y, has sent out a
list OF rules about butter-making aud
ripening cream. He says:
The practical part of cream ripening
Is this: Keep your vessel so that 1t
may all ripen evenly and thus avoid loss
in churning. Raise the temperature TO
62 or 6s degrees and keep il as near that
temperature as possible until ripe, and
then cool before churning. Well ripened
cream should be coagulated or thick
ened. 1t should run from height in
smooth stream like oil. When pad
die Is dipped into it and held in the
hand, il should stick all over In a
thick even coat, not running OFT in
streal1s and showing the surface OF the
paddle. When the last drops run off the
paddle back into the vat they should
leave little dents or depressions on the
surface, which do not close up for an
instant. The cream should have satir
gloss or fresh surface Churn until the
granules are the size Of wheat ke-neis;
then draw Off the buttermilk and wash
through two or three waters, whirling
the churn few times around. Use from
n pint 10 a quart of water per pound OF
butter. Have the water at a tempera-
ture of 30 TO IS degrees in hot weather

day in Great Britain not only are the
roads maintained at the general cost of
the people, but government loans are
made for any specially heavy improve

years ago the great highways of that

kept up at all, just as they are in this

CREAMERY SUCCESS.
Unless All Patrons Work Together Ie
Cannot he Achieved.

Ifcreamery butter is better than aver
age dairy butter IL is because the man
agement at the creamery is upon high
er scale than in the average private
dairy. There is no gain in taking the
milk OF dozen or more second or third
class farmers and handing IL over TO an
unslSilled creamery man to make into
butter. Two interiors do not make ono
superior. Two ciphers cannot by any
arrangement be made into n whole
number. successful creamery must
have not only n skillful manager and
butter maker, but guaranteed supply
OF good, sound milk or cream In sufii-
cient quantity to utilize the capacity of
the concern. The more COWS the greater
will be the percentage OF profit. Nor
can the butter-maker alone control the
character OF the butter product.
Poor, dirty milk cannot appear later
in form of first-class butter. The skill
and intelligence, indispensable at
creamery, must extend out among the
milk producers. Poor cows yielding
but little milk can never pay their keep
ing, and no number of them, however
great, can render creamery profitable
to it's patrons. For the highest sue
cess under cooperative system each
individual must putfortht the same effort
that would be required for success in
private management. Dairymen who
join creamery association expecting
to gain more than they give are hardly
deserving of pity when they discover
their mistake.
No one has any business TO ask for
anything beyond what he is willing TO
give an equivalent for. Men join In rails
ing the heavy frame of building be-
cause they can accomplish in that way
what they could never do singly. A man
who on such an occasion does nothing
but "holler' is n sneak and when found
out is always despised. Not less mean
is IL to join creamery association and
then carry poor milk. expecting TO di-
vide the profits of those who furnish
the best they know how. Cooperation
is a success only when each works for
all and ell for each, and this idea lies at
the bottom of all forms of associated
effort whether in the factory, the
grange. the municipality or the church.
