What DairyfnR Did.

It pays sometimes to listen to the advocates of new Ideas and consider whether there Is a common sense at the basis of them, says The Dairy World. Some years ago there was Danish neighborhood up In northern Wisconsin which had prospered by growing supplies for the lumber camps of the vicinity, which were full of men every winter. But soon the timber was about all cut, and 1t was long haul to market, and the little settle ment of farmers were in distress and did not know what to do next One of the settlers who had heard of Profess. or Henry of the experimental station appealed to him, and the professor went up and looked over the situation. They were IS miles from a railroad and freight was high. He prescribed a cooperative creamery. 1t looked like desperate undertaking to change their whole plan of farming, but there did not seem to be any other course to follow, and they started the creamery. At first they had a struggle to make It pay, but they stood by the enter prise and won, and now 1t Is a rich ara prosperous community. It was the newfangled notion that saved them.

Why so Many Younr Men Fail.

"One trouble with many young men who start out in business Is they try to do too many things at once," says Het- ty Green. "The result is that they don't know as much as they ought to about any one thing. and they natural ly fall. The trouble with young men who work on salaries Is that they're always afraid of doing more than they're paid for. They don't enter into their work with the right spirit To get on and be appreciated young man must do more than he's paid to do. When he does something that his em- ployer has not thought of, he shows that he is valuable. Men are always willing to pay good salaries to people who will think of things for them. The man who only carries out the thoughts and ideas of another Is noth- ing more than a mere tool Men who can be relied upon are always in de- mand. The scarcest thing in the world today Is thoroughly reliable man."

CREAMERY PROMOTION.
How Money Is Made Out of overdo- ing Good Thing.

How Money Is Made Out of overdo-
 ing a Good Thing.
 So called "promoters" of creameries or canning factories are reaping rich harvest this year. We have explained their methods many times, says The Rural New Yorker. A slick, plausible agent comes to town and talks to busi- ness men about the great value of a creamery or canning factory. Of course they agree with him, for the town Is to get the factory, and they are to put up little money for it. Then some prominent farmer Is secured. Usually he gets bonus for his work. He goes around among the farmers and talks 1t up." He is a good talker, and the result Is that farmers sign an agreement to take a certain amount of the stock of the concern. Then meeting Is held, a committee appoint ed and usually an agreement Is made with the agent to have him build and stock a factory. He names his own price, which is usually 50 per cent or more greater than the outfit Is really worth. Then the promoter goes ahead and puts up the plant. It Is usually accepted" without hesitation by the committee, and then the promoter starts out to collect. By means of | bluffs, wheedling, promises or threats | he collects in cash or notes a good share of the subscriptions. He then gets out-usually discounting the notes at county bank. He leaves behind a | factory costing far more than 1t should and usually altogether too big for the local needs. The business men and prominent citizens" who subscribed large sums do not, as rule, pay much actual cash. The cost is usually paid | by the farmers who subscribed smaller sums. If the farmers are ready to put up more money and produce enough to keep the factory busy, they may in time get their money out. If is usually hard work to do this, and in many cases the factory stands Idle aft CT one brief and disastrous season. It will be asked, How is 1t possible to work such a game on shrewd, level headed farmersT' That is one of the mysteries of agriculture. It remains a sad fact that, while an honest and respected man cannot induce his neigh bors to cooperate, an irresponsible and strange rascal can induce them to throw their hard earned dollars into hIs hat. Who Is the wise man that will explain this thing?

The Fourth of July is always a good time to read The Declaration of Inde- psndence. The Fourth of July 1900 will be peculiarly appropriate time to read it. Six millions of England's sub- jects are starving in India. but England is asking America to feed them while England is spending more than half g billion dollars and sacrificing one hun dred thousand lives in endeavoring to crush the South African republics Every true and loyal American should again read The Declaration of Inde- pendence. Anglo-msniacs and all po- litical bosses should also read it. A fac simils of The Declaration appears today on the first page of the NEWS.
