apolis, has written very readable article
in the April number of the Atlantic. Mr..
HARDWOOD says that, while many cream
cries all over the west are run on this prin-
ciple, it appears that the movement has
made most rapid progress in the states
mentioned. In two states, Nebraska and
Kansas. says the writer, there is decided
preference for the proprietary system,
while in Iowa there is a marked reaction
from cooperative to private ownership.
This is ascribed by the chief of the dairy
division at Washington as due to the fact
that the Iowa farmers will not and can
not pull together" The best results, says
the writer, have been obtained when it has
not been attempted to extend the in
dividual system beyond radius of over
five miles. The amount of capital gener-
ally involved is less than S. 900.
On the method of operation Mr.. Har-
wood says that where from thirty to fifty
farmers are able to run a club together
and build and run a creamery on the sim
pie cooperative plan now used. the bene-
fits resulting are marked and immediate.
The farmers contract to furnish a certain
amount of milk each day, of a definite
quality, and the profits are divided accord
ing to the amount supplied. If in any case
the milk falls below certain average of
richness, an arrangement is made where
by the farmer furnishing it is reduced in
receipts.
'In Minnesota county says Mr.. Har-
wood, where there are now twenty nine of
these creameries, the bank deposits of
farmers are reported at one town to have
increased from $50. 900 in 1886 to $500, 900
in 1896, not including the 500. 900 deposits
of the creameries themselves. In 1880
farm lands sold at from $40 to $50 an acre,
while in 1898 they sold at from $25 to 500 I"

WOULD PAY FINES
County Attorney Refuses to Compromise
With Cyprians.

Among County Attorney Hughes Wis
itors Tuesday were a couple of women
of easy virtue, whose abode is not very
far from the city limits. They wanted
to know whether they were to be per-
mitted to remain where they are, and
said that their place was being watched
last night by party who they suspect
ed had been sent there by the authori.
ties. Mr.. Hughes informed them that
as soon as anyone made complaint he
would proceed against them. They
promised to pay monthly fine. but the
county's legal advisor would not agree
to this,
Before leaving, the women said that
they had been paying S25 month fine
to two parties who represented them
selves to be township officials, and had
receipts signed by these parties.
Whether the township got the money
they did not know, but they had con-
cluded not to hand the money over to
these parties any longer, and thought
that it was due to this fact that their
place was being swallowed. The county
attorney has not decided what to do in
view of this disclosure.

THE CREAMERY INDUSTRY.

Cooperative creameries in rural dis
tricts have proved SO popular in Mime
sofa that 45o out of the $50 creameries in
the state are now run on that plan. AS the
the movement in this direction is less than
decade old, the growth has been surpris-
ing, And in all this there have been but
very few instances where farmers have
been dissatisfied with 1.-THE plan where it
has been taken up. In Iowa, it seems,
the system has been so favorably received,
as the percentage of creameries running
by this method is less than one-third.
1t is of this rapid growth of the CO.
operate system in Minnesota. Wisconsin and
Illinois that W. S. HARDWOOD. of Mime

ITALIAN ART.

Leonardo ola Nlncl, a painter or the
Milan school, was wonderful man.
Besides being great painter he was
an author. engineer, sculptor, musician
and architect. Da Vinci was born in
1862, of noble family who lived in the
valley of the Arno river. He was a
very handsome man. He often invited
poor people to come and dine with him,
and he would tell them stories, some
sad and some comical, and when they
were laughing or looking sad, he would
sketch portraits of them. Da Vinci
liked the study of anatomy. The horse
was always his favorite subject. He
was very accurate in the drawing of
every animal. His most famous work
is the Last Supper" another of his
beautiful pictures is the portrait Of the
Madonna Lisa, who was the wife of
a prominent Italian. 1t took him four
years to make this picture, and then he
didn't call it finished. One day while
Da Vinci was walking along the streets
he saw some birds in the market place,
shut up in cages. He felt sorry for them,
so he bought them all, and set them
free. Leonardo da Vinci died in 1919.
Correggio. whose real name was
Antonio Allegri, was born in 1893. 1t
is said that Titan seeing the works of
Correggio, said, IF were not Titan,
1 would be Correggio." Some of his
most noted works are the Ascension
of the Virgin, 'St. Jerome. ''St.
Catherine" and the "Holy Night
Raphael was a great painter, archi-
tect and sculptor of the Roman school.
He was born at Urbino in 1883. This
city is built we'll up among the noun
tains and overlooks the blue Adriatic.
In his home was picture of Mary and
the Christ child, painted by RaphaeIs
father, who was an artist of not very
much note. RaphaePs mother repre-
sented the Madonna, and Raphaeps
own sweet baby face was taken for
that of the Christ child. When
Raphael was eleven years of age. his
father died and then his two uncIes
educated him. The ''Sistine Madonna"
his most famous picture, was painted
for the Vatican at Rome, but it was
afterward taken to Dresden gallery,
where it is at the present time. The
Madonna of the Chair" ''The Holy
Family" and the TRANSPORTATION" are
others of his most famous pictures.
The Madonna and Christ child was his
favorite subject. Raphael painted two
hundred and eighty seven pictures,
eighty portraits and made five hundred
and seventy-six drawings. At thirty
seven years of age Raphael died. and at
that time he was working upon ''The
TRANSPORTATION"
For many years Raphael went about
trying to find woman and child
beautiful enough to paint for the
Madonna and Christ Child. One day
while he was travelling, he came to an
inn, where. in garden near by, sat
beautiful woman with her baby in her
arms, and running up to her was an
other child. Raphael made sketch of
her and the children on barrel top.
which he had picked up. That is why
the Madonna of the Chair" is always
represented in a circle.
