Txxo RAILROAD Passes.

When it's limited express trains were
put on some years ago. the Lake Shore
Railway company decided to charge
extra for the privilege of riding on
them, and John Newell, who was pres
ident of the system at that time, gave
orders that passes, half rate tickets.
ETC., should not be honored on the "fi-
ers." It was not intended. Of course,
that the complimentaries issued to high
officials of other roads should be void
on the fast trains. but through an over
sight yearly pass was sent to D. w.
Caldwell, president of the Nickel Plate.
which bore on it's face the words

A few days after Mr. CaldwelIs pass
had been issued Mr. Newell received
an annual pass or the Nickel Plate
with the following Endorsement:

said the old time theater goer.
Mccullough was playing in Texas,

ESTUDYTHE MARKET !
/ HOW TO GET THE GREATEST !
!. PROFITS OUT OF DAIRY :.
!. PRODUCTS. I

The sale Of dairy products at remu-
nerative rates depends much upon APP
pearance. The British seem to under
stand this better than we do. At the
dairy show recently held at the Agri-
cultural hall, IslingtoE, there was n
case of exhibits which invariably at
tracted the attention of large and ad
miring audience. The exhibits in ques-
ton were some remarkably clever de-
signs constructed of butter and built
up entirely by hand The illustration
which accompanies this article is
from a photograph of one of the best
models made. 4 great deal of time
was spent in working out the design,
and it represents a considerable amount
Of ingenuity and care, every minute de
tail being extremely lifelike and nat
ural. The design is ia form of q shield,
built on a wooden ground, covered with
velvet. The border of flowers which
surround the shield consists OF lilies Of
the valley, roses, violets arum lilies,
passion flowers, orchids and carna-
tons.
Marketing plain milk involves some
interesting questions. The organized
efforts of milkmen in different parts of
the country to get better prices for
their milk should prove Of general adj
vantage to all dairymen in calling their
attention more intimately to the mar
ket side of the question, says S. w.
Chambers in The American Cultivator.

The Head Hunters.

In Tupuselei. in New Guinea. the
houses are built on piles liz the open
ocean a good distance from the shore.
The object Of this is to protect the in
habitants against sudden attacks of
the kindly head hunters, who always
are on the lookout for victims. whose
heads they need in their business.
Other villages in this happy land are
pcrched up in all but inaccessible trees
for the same weighty reason.

An Amazed Woman.

A woman who had an Arabic glass
cup of the fourteenth century and did
not know it's value took it to the Brit
ish museum. After due consideration
the expert. to her surprise. said that,
though the museum did not want it, it
might be worth $4,000. The woman
shuddered, because she had been car
rying in a crowded London omnibus a
bit of glass worth SO much money and
it had miraculously escaped smashing.
Finally. wanting money more than
Arabian glass, she sent the object to
an auctioneer's. Fancy her amazement
wnen. starting at s.. 500, the Arabic
cup went by leaps and bounds and was
finally knocked down for the nice sum
of $G,5O0
Actually the Arabic cup was worth
very much less but it SO happened
that there were two rivals at the auc-
ton, who bid against each other

Locating n Creamery.

When the agents of a creamery con-
Germ are trying to place the stock of a
new outfit, seeking subscriptions from
the farmers of community, says Alva
Agee in The National Stockman, it is
not question of the profitableness of
the creamery at Elgin or any other
dairy district. but rather Il question
of the probability of getting full sup
ply Of milk throughout the year for the
creamery that is proposed. Nany
farmers can never be converted into
dairymen. 1t is Only when 4 full
supply of milk is absolutely assured
for the future that these stock sub
scriptions become at all reasonably
safe for farmers.

FROM TIE SHADOW.

Under the roses and under the dew
Dead-but the dreaming, dear heart, of youl
For the day you knelt near the death yelled place
felt your tears fall over my face.
And the rose that you left where my dreams must
be
Thrilled the thought of you down to me!
And said, from my couch in the white walled
dust,
She is true to her love. she is true to her trust
Sand her tenderest tears will fall for
Till we meet in Gods eternity"
Under the rose and under the dew,
Dead-but dream more of you!
The stormy winds Ger my dwelling rave;
Dead are the roses that blessed my grave.
For you never kneel by my couch to say
The loving words that you said that day.
Crumbles my name on the marbles crust,
My dreams are dead, and my heart is dust!

BRITISH BuTTER DESIGN.


product, there is something wrong.
Not only this, but q great deal of the
milk is adulterated before it reaches
the consumers, so that much of it ac-
tually brings 8 and even 10 cents per
quart. The city inspectors test the
milk as it arrives in the cities to see
that the daigymen have not adulterat-
ed it, but the middlemen can water it
to suit their customers tastes without
much fear of discovery.
1t is more profitable today to sell
milk Pm the cities than to raise it on the
farm. The margin Of profit on the
Farm is almost too small to attract
many to the business, while the work
is exceptionally trying and tedious To
place our dairying on a farm basis
something should be done so that there
is more equitable distribution of prof
it's. If consumers are satisfied with
paying s cents for bottled milk, the
dairyman is, but not if more than half
the profits go to the transportation
companies and the middlemen.
Why should not milk be sold on COM
mission, as most other farm products?
Commission merchants find it profit
able enough to do this, and a dairy
line or company should find it to it's
advantage to handle milk in the same
way. Then if milk soured or was
hardly up to the mark the shipper
would be responsible There would be
seasons then when the dairymen would
make a large profit. At present the
summer season always opens with a
cutting of rates. The milkmen of cit
les cut the rates down about one-half
but the consumer pays just rs much as
ever. The result is that the season
when the dairymen should have
chance to make little something is
often time of loss. All the extra eX-
penSe that the milk dealers have to in
cur in summer is the cost of ice, but
that is a small item compared with the
difference in the cost of their milk.
1t is impossible for dealers and milk
producers ever to agree upon price
satisfactory to each, but if the milk
was received by the milk dealers and
sold on commission there would be
more general satisfaction. The milk
market is steady and unvarying one,
and it is the only one that the farmer
has no say about. If there was a
steady demand at uniform price for
fruits and vegetables the year round,
the commission merchants would want
to buy this truck direct from the farm
er, but so long as there is an uncer-
tainty they prefer to take the goods on
commission The only sure thing is
milk, and that we have to sell to city
dealers at prices practically made by
them and which are ruinous to pro-
ducerS.

AMERICAN LINSEED DIVIDENDS.
