KANSAS CREAM MERIES.
FArmers Within Range of Thorn Pay Cash
Mt Storos.

Topeka, Dec 24,-Seoretary T. d,
Coburn has issued n pamphlet report
showing the value Of milk products
The creameries reporting for only u
part of the year average betweeA seven
and eight months During this time
ten creamery companies received 5s,-
sSs,Sa1 pounds Of milk; seven compan-
les report n production of 2,203, 3,1s0
pounds of butter; four companies re-
port n product Of 5s5,s3s pounds Of
cheese, and then 10 companies report
disbursement to their patrons Of $685.
37I34.
These figures probably represent but
n small fraction Of the total product Of
the state, and yet, notwithstanding the
large production, Kansas creameries
cannot begin to supply the demand
for good butter and cheese. The cry
ing need of our Kansas croameries Is
more milk.
1t Is a noticeable fact that where the
creamery industry is well developed
the farmers Of that community are
prosperous, happy and contented. Mer-
chants testify to the fact that, since
the introduction of creameries, store
bills are paid in cash instead of rum
ming from one year to another.

SETTING UP A MASTODON.

A Gigantic Skeleton From the Brooklyn
 Institute of Arts and Sciences.
 He rose twelve feet at the shoulder, wore a hairy hide and looked like a haystack with tusks. That was 5000 years ago, Now a cluster of club-like bones Is ali that bears testimony to his life as a free ponderous rover of the im- mense wastes in those dim, historic days when the earth was young and man a vague possibility living in trees. The mastodon we call him; and out of awe for his supposed immensity, we have en- riched the language by an adjective which is applied to everything big, from theatrical productions to bargain sales.

 Vote.

 | A humorous incident of the voting on | the Porto Rican bill was the manner in
 which Representative Spight of Mississ-
 ippi was brought into the house just a
 minute too late to vote for MT. Richard
 sons substitute. While the roll was
 being called it was ascertained that
 Spight was not in his seat A nessen- ger found the Mississippian rolling lux
 uriously in bathtub in the basement of the capitol He notified MT. Richard
 son, who, appreciating the desirability
 of recording every vote that 1t was pos-
 sble to round, up against the tariff bill, sent two stalwart democrats to the
 bathroom to bring MT Spight to the | floor with the least possible delay They
 found MT. Spght sprawled at full length in the tub.
 | "They want you upon the floor to vote | for the substitute for the Porto Rican l bill,'' exclaimed one of the messengers, who broke into the room without cere- mony.
 But I can't go now" MT. Spight l pleaded. T a mtaking a bath" If you don't get hustle on you and have your vote recorded I wouldn't care to take your chances for coming back to congress. Any member who ducks this important vote will be blacklisted in the party"
 MT Spight, who is an old man and somewhat timid, gasped an inaudible reply. He jumped out of the tub drip ping wet and looked around for a towel with which to dry himself There was none in sight.
 What will I do?' he pleaded.
 "Oh, get your clothes on and come on upstairs and vote and then come back and dry yourself" was the advice of both messengers. Then one of them seized Mir. Spight's trousers and assist ed his wet legs into them. The other helped him on with an undershirt and both aided him in putting on shoes without socks.
 Now I'll put on my shirt" said MT. Spight.
 Not on your life. You ain't got time," said the messengers.
 They put his overcoat on, commanded him to button it around his neck, and then hurried him upstairs to the floor of the house, where he arrived just as the clerk began the recapitulation of the vote and too late to be recorded.

 Gentlemen-Having used your Grain- o for the past three months, l thought would write and let you know how much good it has done me. When I was away on my vacation last summer the people I visited asked me to try some Grain-O, and drank some, but I didn't like it at all but the more drank it the better I liked it. and now 1 wouldn't dring anything else. l never weighed over 105 pounds, and last winter l was down to 103 pounds, and now I weigh just TO, and I never felt better in my life. It gives me an awful appetite, and makes me strong. 1t is doing me more good than anything I ever took, and would recommend it to everybody.
 Yours truly,
 MRS. GEO. R. BROWN.
