status OF the Dairy Industry-Prfce
of Butter-Use of Separators.
The report of Dairy and Food Com
missioner Norton of Iowa contains a
number of statistical facts which are
of general interest. The total number
of cows in Iowa is 1,295,96 or an
average of % to the square mile in the
less populous portions of the state to
80 in the more populous. The value of
these COWS is $33S. sos. or nearly $50
per COW. The number of cows to each
1000 population is SIG.
The average price of butter has de-
creased over eve years ago. but has
Increased over last year. The average
price in 1893 was q cents; in 1894, "a
cents; in 1895. p cents; in 1896, 20
cents, and in 1900, % cents.
During the year ending July /. 1900,
there We're but three licenses issued for
the sale of oleomargarine in the state.
All of these have since expired. and no
renewals have been taken out.
OF the 93G creameries in the state
S42 are operated on the separator plan,
II on the gathered cream plan and so
ON q combination of the two plans.
Five hundred and one creameries are
owned by individuals. $40 are operated
on the cooperative plan. 116 ON the
stock company plan.
There has been a notable increase in
the past year Of the number Of farm
separators in use in the state, in 1900
there being 1882 as against 1852 of
the previous year and 9O4 of 1893.

Testing the schoolmnster.

LII the town records Of the city of
Boston there is a curious passage
which records how a schoolmaster was
examined and what happened: The
manner in which the visit Of inspection
Is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
If he was really inefficient he NAV be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d Of MAY,
1922, it is set forth that:
Coll Pen Townsend, jeremiah AL
len Esqr, 4 John Edwards together
with the Select men. Vissitted the
wrighting School at the Southerly End
of Boston on Thursday the oath apll
lI22. and Examined the Scholars un-
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Scy-
pher1ng & the masters ability of teach

That 1t will be no Service to the Town
to Continue. mr. anger in that Employ"
Whereupon it was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master Of the said South
school,"
1t is true that nothing is said of the
methods of spelling inculcated at the
"wrighting School, and it is also DOS
sible that a clerk rather than the COM
mittee was responsible for the errors
or the record. but there is certainly
something absurd in the passage as it
stands

THE A r
Valuable Adjunct to the Small Dairy
Equipment.

Addressing the Kansas state board
OF agriculture at it's annual meeting,
u. b. Morgan said:
The value of the farm separator to
the private dairyman has already pass
ed the experimental stage. The evil
dence of our experimental stations and
the testimony of all who have made a
careful, intelligent comparison between
the gravity system and the modern
cream separator are ~practicallya unit in
favor of the latter for the private dairy
man. The question as to its advan-
tages in localities where creameries
are established is one upon which there
is much difference of opinion.
The most serious problem confront
ing creameries at this time is that of
operating expenses. This applies alike
both to creamery and patron, and,
whether under cooperative or proprie-
tary management, it makes but little
difference. All are vitality interested
in the expense account. If the eastern
creamery enjoys a patronage of from
10000 to 10000 pounds of milk per day,
NAiiS many VI Jul SledllieElSS are Tuu-
ming along at from 5000 to 5000
pounds, then we have lost much of the
advantage we possess on account of
our cheaper dairy foods in the increas-
ed cost of operating. Evidently as long
as present conditions exist some sys-
tenn of Capitalization is inevitable.
The farm separator, we think, will
assist greatly in solving this problem.
1t means a minimum of labor with a
maximum Of profit. The product is
carried in condensed form from the
patron to the creamery. We feel safe
In saying that fully one-third of the
skimming stations in this state from
October to May do not pay running ex-
penses. 1t is in these localities where
the farm separator will prove Of the
greatest benefit.
At points where the patronage is lib
eral any radical change would not be
advisable. 1t will to a great extent
work its W way. But at these weak
er, %nonpaying stations much good can
be accomplished by the use Of the farm
separator, especially in territory where
the distance is too great to haul milk.
True, to carry out this plan the farmer
must make al investment for which
he is amply compensated in the in
creased value of the skimmilk and the
convenience of having it on the farm
morning and evening to be fed while
warm, sweet and fresh and in the best
possible condition to be given to the
young animal. The milk patron often
suffers q severe loss on account Of his
Sundays milk during the heated term.
He also loses again by feeding new
milk to the calf for six Or eight weeks
on account Of the danger incurred in
feeding the creamery milk. Where
milk is fed from the farm separator by
careful management and the use of
katfr corn meal the calf can be put
upon Skinned milk at Is days old. 1t
has been our experience that the pa
irons with from 10 to Is cows save
enough in one year to pay for a 500
machine.

WORSHIP OF SHANG II,
Millions of Chinese Believe in a True
God Without Knowing It.

New York. Feb 4.-"The prospect for
Christianity in China was the subject
OF Il discourse delivered last night in the
First Baptist church by Robert Stuart
Mac Arthur. He said:
The prospects are very much brighter
than many people suppose China is on
the eve of an evolution in which Chris
tianity will play prominent part. Tbs
Boxers were as much sinned against as
they We're shining. The first ground for
hope of Christianity in China is found
in the ancient worship paid to Shang Ii
This worship is much Older than the
TIM of CoHfucius. His teaching faitly
endorsed it. but did not originate it,
Shang III today is the form OF Worship
under the authority of state. Many au-
thoriteS Nersed in matters pertaining to
things that are strictly Chinese, hold
that SAang I'll is the true God. The
missionaries ought to go to China the
apostle Paul went to Athens 1t is a
wonderful possibility and at this very
moment millions of Chinese are actually
WorShipping the true God. They pro-
nounce the name of Shang III with
reverence as the name of the only true
God.
"a second ground for hope of Chris
tianity is found in the Pao Ting insur-
+ ctlon against the Tartar dynasty
This movement was at Aeart a religious
one. One earnest leader caught from
the bible the inspiration which mani
Tested itself in this uprising. After the
war between China and England in 1888
broke out. 1000 Chinese became believers
in Jesus Christ. They were then called
god-Worshippers. a revolution is today
impending in China. China is arousing
from the lethargy and sleep Of centuries
Many of the most careful students of
present movements in China. men who
have long lived there as missionaries
merchants and scholars. do not hesitat..
to affirm that the dominant influence in
China will be Christian before the clos
