MINNESOTA cREAMERlEs.
Professor T. l.. Hacker, who is
III charge of the dairy school OF
the University Of Minnesota, in a
recent interview gave out some
inte resting facts in reference to
the dai. ying business. HI says:
1.-THE creamery industry, as it
now exists, dates no further back
than 1891. During 1892 q large
number of creameries were sue
cessfuIly operated in the southern
part of the state. 1t will surprise
many people to learn that the
actual cost Of making a pound OF
good butter is less than two cents.
Another encouraging feature has
developed in connection with this
business. In sections where
crea meries have become numerous
land has, in very many instances,
doubled in value. And the bran
from the mills which was former
ly shipped to the East, is now sold
to the farmers. There are about
435. 900 COWS contri buting milk to
$50 c,eameries, and they distribute
to the patrons SO, $50, 900 annually.
But this has reference only to the
amount of money received by the
patrons, which is only about "a
per cent of the actual receipts, the
Is per cent making up the expense
account and the reserve fund,
which is used in paying for the
plant and maintaining the equip
ment. This makes the actual in
como from the $50 creameries in
round numbers 81, 100000.
l estimate that there are 365, 900
COWS used in the farm dai: les,
cheese factories and milk diaries,
that at the very lowest estimate
bring in $1S each, amounting to
$6,570, 900 making the total
annual receipts from our dairy
products ST, $4,000. There is
still standing to the credit of the
cows the value of the skinned
milk, which for feeding purposes
is worth ore.sixth the value ofthe
whole milk. The va,ue of
skinned milk from tho creameries
amounts to 81, 1896, 900; and from
the farm diaries, after deducting
the milk furnished cheese factor.

mir of this seasons receptions. 1t goes
10 prove that there are persons who own
fine clothes and who are not so thin
skinned as to remain away from places
to which they are not invited. The in
vitations this year given to the White
House receptions were prepared with usual
care. Lists of the invited were kept
and cards were issued to individuals by
name The heretofore indefinite and III
discriminate land ladies" was not en-
ployed. That there might be no misunder-
standings, the secretary to the President,
tMr. Porter, and the gentlemen associated
with him in the management of details
let it be known through the newspapers
that steps would be taken to detect any
who came without invitations. But the
method to be employed was not explain
ed.
The trap was set and 1t did ITS duty.
AT one reception 213 persons who had not
been invited came to the White House
and participated AT another affair the
number of unlimited present was 80.
The manner in which the intruders were
detected is interesting. AS usual, each
guest on advancing to the entrance Of
| the receiving room was told by an Off
cial to give your name to the officers,
who will present you The name OF
each guest was called out twice. first by
an officer introducing to the President
and again by the officer who made the
presentation to Mrs. Mckinley. The an
nouncing was done with distinctness. But
this year an attache of the White House
stood in a secluded nook and took down
every name that was called out. Com
partson with the roster of the Invited
was made subsequently, and in this way
the names of the unlimited were singled
out and the blacklist was created.
This was not all. Doorl1eepers from
the Senate and House were present to ada
their knowledge of faces TO that of the
White House ushers. Alphabetical lists
of the invited were in the possession Oh
the officials. When there was doubt about
any one the lists were consulted. Some
of the unlimited were asked for tneir

GEORGIA's MELON CROP.
Outlook for the Approaching Season
Encouraging.


Albany, Ca, Feb 19.-Now that the
season when melon growers in this section
viii begin planting and when estimates
of the years crop are rife information
of reliable nature on which to base a
forecast is very much in demand
Albany is the center of the melon grow
ing district of Georgia and is made the
headquarters of nearly every buyer who
comes to this section for the early sum
mer trade. Last year the districts i'm
medately around Albany produced nearly
one-fourth of the entire Georgia CROP,
or more than GOO carloads, and most of the
growers hereabouts received satisfactory
returns, except in exceptional cases.
Your correspondent has endeavored to
obtain such reliable information regarding
the melon crop of 1898 as will be of inter-
est and value and finds that every indica-
ton points to an immense yield. The en-
tire crop of Georgia and Florida in 1897
was 5000 carloads. The largest ever pro
duced was that of 1890, when 1900 cars
were loaded and shipped, causing a loss
to every grower in the melon belt
1t may be safely predicted that not less
| than from 6,Oe0 to 1000 car loads will be
grown this year. "A careful estimate of
| the crop in the country Immediately sur
| rounding Albany leads to the belief that
at least 100 cars will be shipped from
the four or five counties that in 1897 pro-
duced but 600. Parties in Albany who
sell seed to growers have experienced an
| almost unprecedented demand for their
stock since Jan. l, and your correspondent
| has seen letters from fertilizer dealers in
| this state and In Florida asserting that
| the demand for melon fertilizers this year
| is more than three times as great as 1t
| was in 1897 Several Dougherty county
growers who have been among the larg-
est in the state have cut their acreage
| downNbelow a fourth of what it has here
tofore been, believing that the markets
will be glutted early in the season.

completed Mr.. Clark received property
which was valued at and was sold for 81

Brady what the latter considered to be
such an equitable share. sending him a
check for $150. The present suit is brought
to recover a larger proportion of the 81
900, and the damages are laid at 5000.

MAY USE THE ARGONAUT.
The submarine boat offered for Use
at Havana
From the Philadelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record.
Baltimore, Nd, Feb. 17.-Simon Lake the
inventor of the submarine boat Argonaut,
to-day sent a telegram to Secretary of the
Navy Long offering the use Of the vessel
in Havana harbor. Mr.. Lake said that the
Argonaut could be used in finding the
cause of the explosion, getting bodies, arm
ament and stores on the vessel, and in
raising the hull. The size of the vessel will
permit her to be dispatched to Havana on
steamers deck or on fiat railroad car
to Key West in a few days
Her inventor claims that if mines or tor.
pedoes exist in Havana waters he can find
them and the wires attached. The vicinity
OF the wreck and the dana ged hull can
be examined by the electric search light in
the Argonauts bow; and if the waters are
fairly clear photograph may be taken Of
the underwater part of the Maine.
BY using the Argonaut divers can work
day or night in any kind of weather, and
get the bodies from the ships passage
ways and wreckage without the danger
attached to life and air lines running to
the surface of the waters. The Argonaut
has derrick, and her own engine will as
sist materially in removing the armament.
She will also be used to bore holes in the
side of the hull. to which pontoons will
be attached to raise the Maine. Mr. Lake
states that if the Havanians refuse to al
low the Argonaut in their waters, he can
enter the locality, examine the harbor and
depart unseen, if the government should
order him TO do so. The Argonaut has
made fifteen successful descents in Balti-
more waters. The vessel Is sunk by adj
hitting water into ballast tanks and rais-
ed by pumping the water out. The bow of
the vessel contains air locks and a door
by which divers may go out and in the
Argonaut while she is under water.

Mrs Griggs, wife of the Attorney Cen

American women by the way have a
way of appropriating their husbands dec
orations. At the army and navy recep-
ton at the White House the other evening
several toilets were enhanced by singular
ly designed jeweled pins, that were, and
in some cases were not, detached from
their ribbons. Mrs. James Russell Young,
wife of the librarian of Congress, display
ed a stunning decoration upon one Shout
der, and the lace of her bodice did not
entirely conceal the badge of red and
white from which the diamond star was
hung. Apropos of jewels, one of the most
exquisite affairs worn thus far by any
woman of the administration is the head
adornment belonging to Mrs. Alger. 1t is
great, graceful, glittering bow-knot of
diamonds from which rise jeweled sprays
that nod against soft white feather.
More becoming than the tiara, 1t is an abb
solutely perfect climax to a successfully
built couture. Mrs. Ayers head is a
beautiful setting, to be sure, for it is the
head of patrician, belonging to the wo-
man who is pronounced the belle of the
cabinet circle.
