Air Ehnrxaa

Much is being done at the present time to induce the small dairyman ei- ther to buy or take the agency for some form of air churn or other similar device, for which great things are claimed as to butter making capacity, says Professor Hayward in The Ma tional Stockman.
 The writer and heads of dairy de- partments in other institutions have received frequent letters in regard to these dairy wonders, and this occasion is taken to state a few facts concern ing them.
 The value of any churn is dependent upon it's simplicity and durability, up- on the completeness with which it does its work, upon the power required to operate 1t and upon the ease of clean ing it after the butter has been re- moved.
 Although there have been, it is claim ed, more patents granted for churns than for any other single agricultural implement, with the possible exception of farm gates, nevertheless it is fact that just as much and just as good but ttA 1ah pe A1de "lth lhe oiu Aashioheu dash churn as with the most modern churn known.
 The principle of all churns Is the same, whether they are dash churns or the so called air churns, and it should be remembered that no churn can get more butter from a given amount of milk or cream that it contains of but ter fat plus a reasonable amount of water and gaseous matter.

Value of ConzuIshipa.

"Young man." said a noted Illinois congressman In the house restaurant at the capitol, when you fet chance to be a consul for the United States select a smoky city, one where there are many factory chimneys. Do not try for the fashionable capitals. Leave them for the ambassadors. Go where the air is murky, for there business Is lively, and many a consignment Is sent to the United States. This means fees, and fees mean a good income for the consul"
 In the course of his chat the con- gressman made the general statement that consuls who are making the most money from fees are the quietest, most unassuming, accomplishing employees of the government. "They do not set up claims for salary instead of fees" he said. "Oh, no; but like the wise boy where the raspberries are thick they let the world forget, so far as pos sible, that they are on earth. Let a consular office be changed from the fee to the salary system, and 1t at once becomes alluring to voracious lot of aspirants. Some one finds out per haps that the political support of this particular consul is weak, and then in- fiuence Is used, and soon there Is a change.
 "One of the most profitable consul ships is that of Liverpool. The salary is $6,00O, but the fees bring the emolu. ments up to several times that amount, and n Qeneration ago the income of the consul at Liverpool was S5O,OOO year. This has been reduced by abolishing s."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Some of these let ters are so sweet and enrapturing in tone and expression that MT Weed cannot repress peculiar flush that covers his face to the roots of his hair, ard makes him laugh like a per son tickled almost to death. In two recent letters there Was lock of hair in each. It was lock from the tresses of the writer, so the letter stated. One lock was of golden hue and the other faxen, but as yet Mir Weed has made no choice. He may want to see more of the writers than their hair This was what one writer thought, at least. for she writes stating that if Mir Weed will only pay her travelling expenses she will immediately visit the Garden of Eden and let Adam" take look at her.-Hartford Courant.
