AN ACT OF TENDER SYMPATHY.
Which Sent One Young Man to Cuba witt

Which Sent One Young Man to Cuba with
Lighter Heart.
A recent traveller to Spain, writing
In Blackwood's Magazine. describes q
touching scene witnessed at the de-
parture OF a regiment for Cuba. All
day long there had been heard tho
measured tread of soldiers, marching
through the streets; all day long gaily
bedecked boats had been passing to
and from the vessel that was to take
them to Havana.
The twilight had begun to deepen
when the correspondent saw "a start
ling and pretty sight''-the impetuous
action Of q portly, good-lookine and
well-dressed lady, who noticed young
soldier walking dejectedly along down
the pier in his travelling gray, with q
knapsack strapped over his shoulder.
All the rest e1 the men had friends.
their novias, mothers. relatives, and
made the usual gallant effort to look
elated and full Of hope. This lad had
no one, and it might be devined that
he was carrying q desolate heart over
seas.
The handsome woman blrst from
her group of friends, took he boys
hand and said: my son has already
gone to Cuba. He is in the regiment
OF Andalusia and sailed two months
ago. You may meet him, Pepe g.;
take this kiss TO him." She leaned and
kissed his cheek.
An English boy would have shown
awkwardness, but these graceful
Southerners are never at a loss for Z
pretty gesture and q prettier word.
The boy flushed with pleasure, and
still holding tho lady's hand, said,
with quite a natural gallantry, without
smirk or silly smile. "And may / not
take one for myself a. we'll, Sonora ?"
The lady reddsned, laughed a little
nervously, and bent and kissed him
again, to the frantic applause Of sold
:ers and civilians. while the boy walk
ed on hraced and happy. = 81

Of dairy COWS. The result is an
increase Of 100000 to the
annual income of Minnesota indus
try and a growth of about $780,

Minnesota farmers.
If you want your farmers future
to be more successful than their
past, they must give up extensive
wheat farming and diversity their
crops.
Let them turn part of their
wheat fields into pasture, keep a
few good COWS. selling the milk
each morning at their local skim
ming station and in two years
time they could not be induced to
go back t. their old system Of
farming.
We could safely guarantee to
the farmers who would follow out
these lines a profitable future, we
all know that this must soon come.
and it is not only the duty, but the
self-preservation of every business
man to encourage and advocate
with all his might, a system Of d.
versifed farming.
The presidents of our rail roads,
Mr.. Hill in particular, the faculty
Of our Agricultural college, and
thousands of others who are look
ing into the immediate future
strongly recommend it. It is
what has made the farmers of
Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and
Iowa Independent.
If they can make this farming
profitable on land worth from $50
to $75 per acre, although inferior
to ours in fertility, what possible
reason could there be why our
farmers should not make it more
profitable?

The national and state dairy de-

253 creameries in 1893 which

creameries and in 1918 total of
664. The. figures 700, given above
is conservative and we'll within the
mark. This is a phenomenal show
ing. 1t means that 450 creameries
have been built in Minnesota dur

A Company to Try to Establish One

The United Creamy Co., Of
Fargo, will send a representative

to work up a sentiment in favor Of
establishing a creamery in this
The company is establishing
the Australian system Of creamer-
les, which, in brief, comprises one
large or central creamery and nu-
merous skimming stations.
At the skimming stations the
milk is received from the farmer,
weighed, skinned and valued G.
cording to the butter fat contained
in each 100 lbs.
Standard milk contains 4 per
cent butter fat and for this quality
Of milk we will pay from go to Is
cents per 100 lbs, varying with
the seaso and the market price of
butter. Milk testing above or be-
low 4 per cent will be valued in
proportion. As soon as the milk
is skinned 80 per cent of the
amount received from each farmer
is returned to him free. This
skinned milk when mixed with
bran makes good food for the calf.
The cream is shipped each day to
the central creamery where it is
blended and made into butter {.
By this system we get a uniform
and high standard of butter.
A skimming station can be oper-
ated successfully where there are
not sufficient COWS for a small
creamery, and at the same time
pay the farmer as much. if not
more for his milk than he would
get for the same at a creamery.
By operating one large creamery
we. economize in operating expen-
SEES and at the same time maintain
a standard in both quality and
