Not More Creameries but Better Cows

Not More Crea meries but Better Cows,
G. l.. Hubbell: What we want ia less
creameries and more and better cows.
II half the creameries in Iowa were
to be permanently closed to-day there
would still be enough to do all the bus
mess, and in expenses alone there
would be saved at least s., 1000 per day,
or $1,000 900 annually. This amount
would be added to the profits Of the
producer, besides the gain through i'm
proved quality. No, we as a state can
not afford to spend any more money
in creamery buildings and machinery,
but If the business is to grow in Iowa
let our surplus be spent in increasing
our herds and improving our methods
to the end that the cost of production
may be made less and not more. A
creamery which makes 300, 900 pounds
of butter per annum will make the
dairy business much more profitable to
the producers than could three cream
cries on the same territory. Concen-
t~ration, Capitalization and true co-ope-
ration are the conditions that must
hereafter be observed to show any
profit in the O W:

Sailing Cows.-Salting the cows is
n of the little things that is some
times lost sight of under the pressure
of other, and what Is regarded as more
important work, but a trial recently
made at the Mississippi experiment sta
ton, indicates that inattention to this
point may be a rather expensive over
sight. Three cows were kept without
salt for four weeks, and their milk rec
ord kept during the last two weeks of
this period; then they were given the
usual allowance Of salt for two weeks,
and on comparing the milk records it
was found that the COWS gave asa
pounds of milk during the first period
when salt was withheld and 564
pounds during the second, when salt
was furnished, a difference Of ITO
pounds of milk in two weeks in favor
of salting.-Ex.

An Estimate.-Waldo 3. Brown says
that from $500 to 5000 can be made on
almost any farm from the poultry
alone, and that one hour a day is ample
time to look after them. Now allowing
this to be true, one hour a day will be
but 1856 hours, or about five weeks. One
weeks work would easily put in
and harvest three acres of grain. We
will say one acre of barley, one Of lori
and one of oats and wheat, sown half

birds, old hens, etc., killed off to give
place for young pullets, will pay for
seed grain and use Of land we have the
total egg income from 100 hens to of
set the six weeks of light and always
pleasant work. Now, our Leghorns
average about 165 to 200 eggs per year
and until very recently these eggs have
averaged us one cen apiece, at least
$165 per 100 hens. Allowing but $3.50

Roquefort Cheese Decentralization
many years epicures have delighted in
the flavor Of Roquefort cheese, which
was made from the milk Of ewes, fed
in pastures containing an abundance of
wild thyme. AS the trade increased,
the thyme-clad banks of the Larnac
and Aveyron failed to yield sufficient
pasturage, so the f1ocks were fed in
grassy meadows, where they produced
more milk, but of inferior quality. The
cheesemakers, spoiled by prosperity,
took to the practice of mixing cows
milk with that of the ewes, and then
deteriorated their product still further
by artifcially ripening the cheese. The
result is that buyers now look askancs
at so-called Roquefort cheese, and a
business which formerly provided en-
ployment for owe 100. 900 people is at a
standstill, with little hope of revival.
The Roquefort cheese makers, like the
misguided manufacturers of Allied
cheese in this country, will realize that
1t is necessary to maintain a standard,
as well az to attain it.-Rural New
Yorker.

The Evolution Of Bourke Cochran

Two years ago Perry Belmont took Bourke
Cochran under his wing and gave him a
place in his box at the opera. Bourke was
timid and seemed out of place. His sur
roundings were evidently new to him and he
appeared to be i'll at ease. Society leveled
its lorgnettes at him and shrugged its
soulders, while it commented on Mr.. Perry
Belmont's purpose in having politician in
his box at the opera. This season al the
opera Mr.. Bourke Cochran is in everybody's
box. He has become man of fashion. His
clothes are of the latest cut and his manners
are so suave and his gait SO tripping that he
suggests Mr. "Purr" Collier and Father Du-
cey. Mr.. Cochran sailed for Europe on
Saturday. Society is in tears. 1t has lost
Its lion. And when l say that it has lost
its lion am reminded of the great trans
formation made in Mr.. Cochran. He was once
tiger, a Taanmany tiger, and his roar shook
the walls of all the houses in Fourteenth
street. But now he is lion, lion without
a roar, for no sucking dove could coo more
gently than does Mr.. Cochran in making
his rounds from box to box at the opera.

The necessity for a new White House,

century ago for people of 1000, 900 in num-
ber. 1t Is now a crowded business place,
unfit for domestic uses and totally made
quate for the social demands made upon
1t. Its guests must enter and depart by
single door. On great occasions they are
only too glad to get in and out through the
Gus. Just before Mr.. Cleveland's last term
ended Mrs. Cleveland was almost crushed
into insensibility at reception to visiting
women. These things are really disgrace

Christmas Carols Revived

Two years ago a quartet of English sing
ers came to New York to sing English carols
if the musical public wanted them, and after
several appearances in concert they secured
an engagement to sing Christmas carols at
the house of woman well known in society.
The hostess invited her friends to come at
I o'clock Christmas morning to hear the
singers, and, notwithstanding the early
hour, the audience was present, and the
Englishmen's songs pleased them. Thus in
troduced, the quartet secured many other
engagements, and their success had to pay
the usual penalty Last year there were
several quartets bidding for engagements to
sing Christmas carols, and this year the
supply is at least equal to the demand. A
man who runs an entertainment agency
said several days ago: New Workers who
spenS the Christmas holidays in their coun-
try homes, and many of them do now and
entertain their friends there have found a
good quartet of carol singers furnishes very
acceptable amusement. The season for such
engagements is short, but it pays well, and
have been surprised at the number of
singers who are going in for Christmas
carols. New York Sun.

SHE REFUSES TO MARRY HIM
Shaw's Fiancee Deserted Him Since
His Acquittai of Murder

Woodbury., N. J.-Young Eli Shaw will
not marry Miss Maybelle Nelson, the young
heiress, whose devotion to him through his
two trials for murder in Camden aroused 80
much sympathy for the accused youth.
Shaw came here to call on Miss Nelson to-
day.
1T is all over between u.s." she said to
young Eli. Il stood by you through it all
as far as lay in my power, but now we must
part. You must not even call. This is
necessary"
When Shaw left the home Of the Nelson's
his head was bowed. Asked her reason
for breaking the engagement, Miss Nelson
spoke for publication for the first time since
the day OF Shaw's arrest, over year ago,
for the murder OF his mother and grand
mother.
Il found the step necessary" she said.
"My opinion of Eli has greatly changed
of late, and l can no longer endure the
scorn of my trends, not one of whom upheld
scorn of my friends, not one of whom upheld
through with him and wish it so under
stood by the public"
That was all Miss Nelson would say. Her
mother and sister showed delight over her
decision. The young woman has some Sl8,-
900 in her own right and it was generally
understood that she spent some portion OF
it in the defense OF the young man. She
visited him regularly in the county Jail,
took him flowers, dainties and books. She
sturdily mounted the witness stand and tes-
titled in his behalf. 1t was tDr testimony
that shattered the prosecutions theory of
motive, for she swore that she intended to
furnish all the money Tor their wedding, the
purchase Of their house and the making of
their home.-New York World.

GEORGE GoULD's GREAT PLAN
Will Cover an Acre of Ground With
a Building for Indoor Sports

q ouA4dA06 AL AhoSSA SRSAsS
Georgian Court" That is the name
George Gould decided on yJSterday for his
country estate at Lakewood. But that is
the smallest part of the plan he has in mind.
Mr.. Gould is consulting Bruce Price, the
architect, as to plans.
"Spare no expense" is the order.
He is planning--and will start work next
spring-a big building where all sorts OF
sports may be INDUCED in during bad wealth
era sort of country club indoors, where
he and his friends can ride, swim and play
tennis when snow or rain makes outdoor
sport uncomfortable.
81 want" was Mr.. Gould's first order, "a
big arena where the children and can ride
when it is nasty outside-something AS big
as Madison Square Garden, and laid with
tanbark."
But with the working out of the scheme
came other plans. The building will cover
more than an acre. 1t will have two stories
and AM attick. The great private riding
ring will take most of the ground story. Off
it will be a score of stalls for Mr.. Gould's
hunters and the children's Shetland ponies.
In the basement will be a great swimming
pool, lighted by electric globes under the
water. There will be heating plant, too,
which will keep the water at y degrees on
he coldest winter day. On the ground story
there will be court for indoor tennis and
gymnasium equipped with the latest ap-
paratus. All the spare space on the second
floor will be made into bachelor quarters,
ten or twelve suites, with bathroom for
each. Mr.. Gould often has been forced to
engage quarters at the Lakewood hotels for
bachelors who attend his house parties, and
he wants to be free from that annoyance
When the great building is completed it
will be the only one of its kind in America
and will cost several hundred thousand dol

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-If the pro-
