in June. Keokuk county has two aspi.
rants for Judicial honors-Hon. C.sM.
Brown and ID. F. Stocllman, both OF
Sigourney. The struggle for the
county endorsement promises to be
lively one. Both candidates are strong
and popular and both are first class
politicians. Should either be success
ful In the race, the county will nave
every reason to feel proud Of able rep
resentation on the judicial bench.
AT special meeting of the board of
supervisors yesterday it was decided
to submit the proposition for new
court house at the general election in
the fall. The proposition has once
been submitted and defeated, but there
is decided turn in the sentiment OF
the people over the country. The old
court house is cracked, tottering and
unsafe. 1t is relic of Buchanan's ad.
mlnlstration, and looks it. The citi-
zens of Keokuk county have now seen
for themselves and will relegate the de-
cayed old brick structure of IS to the
past. The county is fertile rich, rep.
resentative one with population of
25.0OO. From all parts of the county
people say that they want good court
house if it costs 100000 to $125,000.

profit by the experience and follow the example of the
creamery factory of such machines large
scale The differences between superior inferior
separator just relatively material to the farm
to the factory The difference doarsand-cents
results is couple of thousand dollars year, Of
course, it is with the factory user but is from $25
to $75 according to the quantity of milky and that
| means just much to the farm Moreover a
De Laval separator is twice we'll made and will last
at least twice as long.
Every large and experienced creamery factory con-
in the country using De Laval machines and
buying them exclusively Nearly all these concerns
have tried various cheaper" makes of separators and
many of them have aside thousands of dollars worth
of them.
SOME LARGE USERS.
The largest of separaors in the world is now the
Continental Creamery Co., of Topeka Kas, using some
De Laval $500 to $500 power machines representing
investment of nearly 100000 separators alone
and putting out De Laval Baby /" machines among
some of its patrons, and ordering them in car lots.
The Beatrice Creamery Co., of Lincoln Nebr, uses
nearly $50 large separators has already put 1000
farm machines and expects to place 1000 more with
its patrons this year.
The Franklin County Creamery Association, of ST.
Adams, Vt, is the largest eastern crealnery-using
nearly 100 power machines 1t too is putting out
Baby" machines, has already placed large number
and expects to add to its list during 1902
Two other mammoth of separators the E1gin
Creamery Co., of Chicago with its many factories in
several states and the Standard Butter Co., of Owego
N. " each of which uses over 100 De Laval factory
machines.
Still larger user is the Borden Condensed Milk Co.,
using some $50 Notwithstanding in the Qualification
of milk for condensing and in its city bottled milk trade
in both of which it leads the world.
Other very big creamery users, all with many thousands
of dollars in separators the Casein Company of
America; John Newman 6 Co, Elgin, Ill St. Louis
Dairy Co., ST. Louis; Fairmont Creamery Co. of
Nebraska the Brigham & Whiting Companies of Boston;
the w. D. Hoard Creameries, Fl Atkinson, Wis;
