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 creamerics
which are now building makes it worth
while to give a word of caution in re-
gard to the selection of sites. A great
many creameries prove unsuccessful
because the expense account is too
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 will be reduced,
while the expenses do not diminish.
In the next place, it must be well
drained. We do not say that good but
ter cannot be produced in creamery
situated on low, undrained ground, but
we do not believe that owners suf-
f;ciently unwise 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
expense account.

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 a sufficient sup
ply is essential. Finally, the factory
should be so situated that the milk
should flow by gravity wherevef it is to
90. A side hill presents obvious ad-
vantages in this respect, but when that
is not possible it will usually pay to
construct 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
the cost of hand or steam power 10 run
it.
| A factory thus located will attract
patrons, and the more milk it receives
the more profit for all concerned

all of these state roads are the main
thoroughfares radiating from the basi-
ness centers, where there is large
amount of travel, making it necessary
to build substantial and expensive
roads, with view to constant in
crease of travel. But good engineering
does not consist in expending large
Gums, but in building the best possible
roads with the least amount of money,
although the opposite sometimes ap-
pears to be the case.
The preparation of the subgrade or
roadbed, making it suitable for the
broken stone, is first in order. 1t is to
be brought to the grade line and with
the same crown as the finished road
way, then rolled with roller of not
less than ten tons weight, until hard
and compact as possible, all depres-
sions being filled 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 un-
| til compact enough not to be disturbed
by the empty teams passing over it.
Then it Is ready for the second course

Charles Dickens, if he is queried after
this fashion.
The game of Initials requires n
nimbler wit. 1t also requires pretty ac-
curate general knowledge of persons
who are uppermost. The point Is, when
the name of some living celebrity is
mentioned, TO characterize the celebrity
in two or three words beginning with
the letters which make the celebrity's
initials, as, for instance:
Chauncey NJ. DepewZCelebrated Mer-
ry Diner. - "a
Ulysses S. Grant-Uncle Sans Gen.
cral.
Harriet Beecher Stowe-Helped Black
Slaves.
Fridjof Nansen-Fleeting Northward.
Louise NJ. Alcott-Lovely, Motherly
Authoress.
r. Z. Peary-Racing Ever Poleward.
Thomas w. Carlyle Terrifying, Wit
ty, Critical.
Not all these examples are beyond
criticism, but as they are reported di.
rectly from gathering of young folks,
held not long ago, they show pretty
conclusively that the game has an edu-
cational value.
Played the reverse way, it would re-
quire even better knowledge of promi-
nent personages and their traits-thus:
Thoroughly Able lectrician-Thom-
as Alva Edison.
Character Delineator-Charle Dick
ems.
Ever Excellent Songstress-Emma
Games Story.
In the case of popular authors there
may be variations; "Hiawatha's Won.
drous Lovesong," for instance, was de
clared an excellent three-word key tC
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow" at q
gathering of young folks, the Other

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
The NEW UMBRELLA.

Oh, Ella!
With her first umbrellal
She walked abroad like any queen.
She held 1t proudly for display,
Admired its handle, stroked Its sheen,
And never little girl more gay.
Dear Ellal
Such a wee umbrella!
One day upon the market-place
1 met her; dripping were her curls.
She looked, despite her sunny face,
The most forlorn of little girls.
why, Ella!
Where's your new umbrella?"
Said l. 1.-The storm has drenched your hair
Just see your frockl just see your hat!
And what is this you hug with carer
A broom, a fiddle, or a cat?"
Oh, Ella!
With her first umbrellal
She looked at me and shyly spoke,
The rain-drops pelting on her yet:
II have 1t here beneath my cloak,
Because, you see, it migst get wet!'
Agnes Lee, in St. Nicholas.

Care of House Plants.

From As to 65 degrees is the best tenn
perature for growing plants in the
house. They will make up for it by a
strong and vigorous growth in the sum-
mer. Tropical plants have rest when.
the dry season comes, and 1t is unpat-
ural to keep the plants forced and grow
ing continuously all the year around.
1t is the same as if you were to take an
apple tree and keep it in leaf all the
year. They should hsye season of
rest.

San Francisco, being . progressive

that abe manages the duties of her
unique position with great skill. She

has never seen anything Of which she
was afraid. The dark, ghostE, bur
glars. drunken people aud the insane
have NO tsrrors for her. Horses, dogs,
mice and even the Aercer animals that
men themselves have no longing to
foudlo, are nothing to her.
Mias Simpsons work consists mainly
In escorting women who have been
adjudged insane TO their asylums. She
has theory Of her own - to how in

ideas have stood successfully the time
test She believes In kindness, com-
bined with dxmness and absolute fear
lessness.
The salary connected with the some

deputy II paid by the piece two dollars
and hfty cents for every trip. If no
women are committed there Is no pay,
and the deputy goes homo and awaits

has ever made WAS forty dollars in one

FACTS ABOUT DAILY PAPERS.

- 0too0y x00xooe0 1oPo&So0 IA 1nOaS NoAs
bsr In This Ce~atzy.
The latest Newspaper directories
show that there has been IN increase
every year since 1877 in the number Of
daily publications issued in the United
States. On the other hand, says the
Cleveland Leader, the number Of tri-
weeklies has now fallen to one-third Of
what it was as far back - 1869. There
has been gradual increase in the num-
Der Of publications ISSUED semiweel-
ly, and the weekly papers have also
increased, though slowly of late. There
are fewer biweekly and semimonthly
publications now than there were ave
years ago, al Of these statements, Il
should be explained, applying to the
United States and Canada.
There was great increase In the
number of publications issued monthly,
between 1870 and 1891, but now there
are fewer of these than in 1892 and 1898.
The increase over last year il small.
There has been . decided decrease in
the number Of bimonthlies since 1891,
and the quarterlies have also become
less numerous than they were in 1891,
1898 or 1894. The dAilies alone have
not failed to grow in numbers every
year since 1877. Fewer publications
were issued weekly in 1so2 than In
1891, and since then there has been .
loss, one year or more than one, in all
kinds OF periodicals except the daily
paper. The figures for every class, -
given in the Rowell directory for 1895.
which is just out, are @ follows:
Dailies, 2,o5o; triweeklics, 40; semi
weellies, 321; weeklies, 1865; biweek-
lies and semimonthlies, SS5; monthliea,
3,676; bimonthlies, IS; quarterlies, 183.
The relatively greater and more com
slant growth OF the daily papers, -
compared with other classes Of period
icals, means that the American people
are more and more hungry for the
latest intelligence of the worlds doings,
and that the eagerness Of the nation to
keep in the very front Of progress IL
moro marked than ever before. The
improvements lately made-in the tele-
graph, the telephone and railroad serv-
ice have served the daily papers well,
and they have made tho most Of their
opportunities. More and more they are
becoming the typical American period.
ical, more popular and more powerful
than any other. The indications arc
that In the future their relative multi
plication and development viii show.
even more than 1t has in the past, their
superior vitality and the leaning OF the
American people to the paper which u
never belated and never out Of date.
In the age Of electricity the period
icals Of less frequent issue than the
daily paper, great, beautiful and popu-
lar - many of them arc, can hardly
hold their own, relatively speaking,
against the publications which arc full
Of the nervous energy, the freshness
and the terse strength Of the telegraph.
