ballots or memorandum to assist the vot-

into the booth, and may be used to copy
from. The ballot must not be shown so
that any person can see how it is marked

The Trust Idea I'm Dairvin~

The consolidation or trust idea has
invaded the dairy regions. says the
New York Evening Post The control
of upward Of 70 Missouri and Kansas
creameries and skimming stations,
within radius Of $50 miles Of Kansas
City. has passed into the control Of q
consolidated company in that city The
creameries are to be used only as re-

cream to be shipped to Kansas City. to
be there converted into butter. Fiji
teen thousand milk COWS furnish milk
for the company at the start, and this
number is to be largely increased. as it
is intended to estab creameries in
the vicinity wherever available Like
plans Of handling dairy products are
in operation in Franklin, VT. and Lin
coin, Neb. There is much economy in
the plan, as the force required to
handle the cream at one central sta
ton is much less than the combined
forces at several small stations. But
the most important result achieved by
the consolidation and the concentration
Of the manufacture Of butter under
one roof lies in the uniform quality
of the product Much complaint has
arisen from the fact that no two
creameries in Kansas produce the
same quality of butter. and to avoid
this feature of the trade the concentra-

Fine Creamery Butter.

Oscar Reed Of Lebanon O.. discussed
1.-THE Science Of Manufacturing Fine
Creamery Butter at the recent Column
bus convention. He is reported by The
National Stockman as saying:
The average creamery patron has not
been able to avail himself of the op-
portunities to learn the principles of
butter making as the butter maker
has; therefore the butter maker has to
act as the patrons instructor in order
that they may know the important part
they play in this great industry They
must be taught the absolute necessity
Of delivering good milk. and to do this
they must know the value of strict
cleanliness in every detail both in milk
ing and caring for the milk, the value
of aeratiOn and quick cooling in an at
mOsphere that is pure and wholesome,
removed from the COW stable odorS and
others that are equally bad; then to
carefully keep the milk free from in
lection until delivered to the factory,
and to feed the proper feeds that exert
an influence on the flavor Of the butter.
. In the ripening Of his cream the but
ter maker is called upon to use the ut
most care and his best judgment This
is the critical part Of the work and one
that too often receives less attention
than it should. The cream, Of course,
will go through some sort Of souring
process if left to itself, but the butter
maker that allows this can never ex-
pect to make fancy butter. If be does,
it will be the exception, not the rule.
Churning should be done at the low
est temperature possible and get have
the butter come in a reasonable length
Of time. No set rule can be laid down,
as the temperature must be varied to
suit existing conditions. The low tenn
perature gives more exhaustive churn-
ing and leaves the butter in better con-
dition to be handled. 1t can also be
freed from the buttermilk with less
washing, which is an important point

Odd Albanian Customs.

An Albanian woman expects to be
beaten if she misbehaves. this being
the prerogative of an Albanian hus-
band. He must be careful, however,
not to draw blood during the castiga-
ton. or the wife can complain to the
authorities. who will fine the husband
and give his property to his wife.
When an Albanian marries, he is
bound to provide his wife with food,
clothes and home in keeping with his
station and means and cannot require
her to earn money for herself or him
by her labor.
corpulence on the part Of the husband
is considered quite sufficient excuse for
the wife to divorce him.

How KafElra RanE Their Money.


The natives Of that part of South
Africa which to a great extent is in
habited by bushmen and Hottentots
have Il peculiar system Of banks and
banking.
These Kaffirs among whom this curl
GUS system Of banking obtains live
near Kaffraria, in the south Of the
Colony country. The natives come
down south from their country to trade
in the several villages and towns in
large numbers and then return to KAT
fraria.
From those who trade Of their own
number they select one who for the
occasion is to be their banker. He is
converted into q bank Of deposit by
putting all the money Of those whose
banker he is into bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores to buy what
ever they want.
When an article is purchased by any
of those who are in this banking ar
rangement, the price of the article is
taken by the banker from this deposit
money bag, counted several times and
then paid to the seller of the article,
after which all the bank depositors
cry out to the banker in the presence
Of the two witnesses selected:
''YOu owe me so much" This is then
repeated by the witnesses. The gen.
eral accounting comes between the
banker and his several depositors
when all desired purchases have been
7oo1o after which all tho natives do
part for their northern wilds.

After a Hattie.

III the first aid that is rendered on
the field after a battle nothing is at
tempted beyond the arrest of hemor-
rhage, the application Of temporary
splints for fractures and antisept1c
dressing There is no washing or eX-
pIOratiOn of wounds. The clothes are
merely slit up with scissors, not re-
moved, thus insuring protection to the
patients body and saving unnecessary
disturbances. The sergeant in charge
of the collection station has field
companion, q water bottle and small
reserve Of handages and first dress
ings in his care to replenish the sur
gical hayersackS with which the bear
ers are supplied.
Triangular bandages are chiefly used
on the battlefield, made from 3S inch
square of linen or calico, cut diagonal
~ into halves. Almost anything that
comes to hand may be used as impro-
vised splints sticks, telegraph wire,
bark of trees, straw, rifles, bayonets,
lances and so on. The splint, If neces-
sary, is padded with straw or leaves
or grass and is fastened with straps
torn from the soldiers equipment or
with strips of a shirt, securely bound
with the triangular bandage. Bound
up with the rife splint, a wounded
man is made so secure that he can
hardly move muscle. One leg is
firmly bound to the rifle, and the an
lzles are tied together, so that the in
jured limb is almost as rigid as the
rifle at its Side-LOndOn Standard.
