Some Reasons why Private DairyinE
Should Not BE Allowed
to Pass Away.

A correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer puts up strong argument
for the private dairy instead of pat
ronizing the creamery. He says it
would cost him about $500 a year
to send the milk from his so cows
to the creamery and pay for making
it into butter. 1t costs some peo-
pie more than that, as they have to
keep an extra man, extra team and
extra wagon; also find fuel to heat
water for cleaning cans and for heat
ing the skim-milk for calves and
pigs. Instead of this he spends about
two hours a day, or 600 hours in
year, taking care of his milk and
making butter, which is equal at
above rates to so cents an hour for
his time. All his utensils, aside from
the separator, cost him less than SIS,
have been in use ten years and are
good for rs years more. Most Of the
creamery patrons receive about II
cents net a pound for their butter,
which he thinks is pretty poor bust
ness. He acknowledges that in the
general market creamery butter is
quoted higher than dairy butter, but
a large percentage of dairy butter
is sold to private customers at a
better price than creamery butter,
and he thinks three-fourths of the pri-
vate families in Grand Rapids use
dairy butter, and most of them do
so because they prefer it to cream
cry butter. We are glad there is one
who thinks that private dairies can
compete successfully with the cream
cries, for we have feared that the
creameries were getting in such favor
that dairymen might think a farm
was no use unless near creamery.

ORIENTAL DIPLOMACY.

The minister of foreign affairs selected
Yokohama, Yeddo and Hang Yang.
The embassy made no objection; they
simply smiled and went on their way.
Some time afterward Japan sent word
that the three ports mentioned were agreed
to, and in return Japan desired Havre, Mar

This last named gave the French officials
fits. They never laughed so much before,
and certainly never since. Southampton a

In every up-to-date and well-regulated
hotel the force of walters is rigidly disci-
plined and each one is intrusted with spe-
cial duties aside from those of the dining
room. The disciplinary system at one OF
Detroit's prominent hotels is as severely
exact almost as that controlling a body OF
soldiers. The head waiter is an Irishman
with thick brogue and every morning be

men up in the dining-room and impresses
upon them the rules of the establishment
and lectures them as TO their behavior. He
looked unusually serious the other morning
as he stood before the soberly-dressed
walters and nervously tapped the ends OF
his swallow-tail coat, says the Detroit Free
Press.

A writer in the Practical Farmer
claims cows that are expected to be
fresh should not have any grain for
several weeks previous TO the event.
1t is often the case where a farmer
has an extra butter cow that he over
feeds her at this critical period. or
gives her such quantities of grain, in
the hope of making her do little
better the next time, that she is IL
able to have milk fever or other dis
ease that may cause death. 1t is bet
ter to be on the safe side and not
feed any grain for at least three days
after calving. A cow will. undouht-
edly, make as much butter in the
long run when this is done. as If she
were fed on grain right along. Even
If this were not the case, he would
prefer TO avoid the risk which heavy
grain feeding always entails.

Buys Fine Tract.

The purchase of over 10000 acres OF
government pine land in the northern
part of Idaho by the syndicate of which
Gov. Scofield is the head has been COM
pleted. The tract is compact one in
Shoshone county, lying on the north
fork of the Clearwater river, which
flows into the Snake river, which in
turn runs to the Columbia. 1t is said
to contain over 250,OoO,00O feet of white
pine timber, and cost the purchasers
sec 900. Experts estimate the value of
land and timber at several times this
amount. 1t was purchased with South
ern Pacific railroad forest reserve scrip,
which lists at five dollars per acre. A

Bladder Troubles.

The urinary organs are probably the most I'M
portant part Of the sewage system IN the human
body. 1t is their duty TO carry of the poisonous
matter that the kidneys seperate from the blood
tits an absolute necessity that the urinary organs
be kept in good condition If they are TO carry of
all the poisons passed them by the kidneys. Cen
orally speaking the kidneys cause all troubles in
the urinary organs. When the kidneys get weak
or diseased they cannot properly do the work
assigned them, and as consequence they allow
poisonous matter to flow back into the system
and cause disease and death. BY STRENGTHENING
the kidneys and making them do their work
promptly and thoroughly all these Ills are avoid
ed. All people who have used Morrow's kld-ne-
oids for diseases of the urinary organs are
unanimous in stating that they can find no other
remedy equal to them.
