TOWN MILK TRADE.

correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
Toe milkman sustains an inn
portant relation to the city and town.
In the smaller cities and ia villages he
comes in regular contact with his u
toners and is appreciated by them In
proportion to his courageous ways,
prcmptness and general attention to
business and the quality Of his goods.
To make q success he must also be
thorough aud clearly in all the details
of his dairying operations, from the
care of his herd to that of his cans aud
other dairy utensils.
Some milkmeD, in addition to run
ming a wagon for the delivery OF milk,
establish a place in a large village or
CITY for the sale of milk and other
products Of their dairy and farm, in.
GLIDING skimmilk, cream, buttermilk,
cottage cheese, eggs, etc. Such a place
is very properly called q dairy, and
many times that word is prefxed by
another one, the two words making q
sort of Trademark. To illustrate:
Riverside Dairy" has been established
as q business in the city Of McCook,
Red Willow Co., Nebraska, to cur
knowledge, since 1892, and how long
before that year we cannot say. While
the ownership has been changed once
or twice, at least, the name of the bust
ness remains the same, which has a
tendency to give it a standing.
A useful and almost Indispensable
article for dairymen who produce milk
for town supply, or for the public
creamery, or cheese factory, is a milk
cooler and areator. By the use Of it
the milk a be quickly cooled and
thoroughly aired.
The delivery of milkin glass bottles
Ia on the increase and bids fair to come
into pretty general g within thenext
few years. We cannot do better than
quote from the Practical Dairyman,
an item that shows the advantages to
be derived from that way Of delivering
milk. Tt is as follows:
Bottled milk is not only neater,
more attractive, and o wholesome
for the consumer, but it saves the milk
man money in several ways. One
saving comes from measuring the milk,
In the glass bottle there IS just one
quart or one pint, as the case may be.
The customer gets what is due but no
more; whereas in practical delivery by
uuart measure from a large can, the
delivery man is hurrying along his
route, and often, yes, generally, puts
in more milk with each asu than
is called for. Little as this milk loss
may be in the individual instance, In
the course Of q days delivery Of 20 to
40 cans, this item assumes considerable
Importance, and in the course Of a
years time the difference between SELL
ing bottled milk and the old method OF
delivering from the can is very large
indeed. and means much moLey saved
Tor made in the former case over the
latter. Indeed, a dairyman OF expert.
ence with both methods believes the
savings in ten years time in selling in
bottles sufficient to purchase a good
farm. Another saving to be mentioned
is the saving of time in delivery. The
man who leaves the milk fancies the
bottles every time, as he can do his
work more easily and rapidly"

Beware Of Ointments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense OF
smell and completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used except ON
prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the good Won
can possibly derive from them. HalI's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F.. J. Cheney & Co.,

There seems to be a strong probab-
ility that there will be an eff Ort made
to adopt the Torrens system of handl-
ing real estate titles by the legislature
this winter. The law enacted by the
Illinois legislature, which has been
declared constitutional, provides that
when the bill becomes a law records
are opened and every real estate own
er records his holdings, with proper
abstr act to show he has a clear title to
the property. A small fee is charged
and another fee for any subsequent
transfer of the property. This money
is kept as "a reserve fund by the stat.
to pay any possible loss that may &C.
| crue to purchaser who Guys such re-
| corded realty, by rec n of a defec i've
| title. When a transfer is to be made,
| the gran,Or gives the grantee q war
rantee deed and the state guarantees
| that such deed is good, thus obviating
the necessity of costly abstracts, ex-
animation of long records or similor
work now necessary. The officer keep
ing the state record simply looks up
the title to the property to see that it
is vested in the person Offering to sell
! it, and when the sale is made the new
deed is again filed for record.
In Illinois where the system is in
vogue, it has proven one of the bes
| measures ever passed by the legisla-
| knock out the abstract business, but il
| will make titles safer and materially
I reduce transfer fees.

The Stars report of the criminal
mismanagement at Chicamaugua is

be attributed to two clauses Of

absolutely the accuracy of the charg-
es of the star, the surgeon general

Passing of the Maine Populists

The Populist party in Maine which cast
532S votes in 1894, practically disappeared
on Monday-nearly the whole vote going to
the Bryan Democratic ticket. While the
Populists probably think that, inasmuch
as the Chicago Democratic platform is
practically a Populist declaration, there is
no necessity of their maintaining a sep
arate organization, yet the disappearance
In Maine of an organization which appeared
first in Maine in the name of the Green
back party In 1876. and cast Al, 81 votes in
1873, subsequently taking on the name of
Peoples party. is noteworthy incident in
