Where HustIIna Is Needed.

When butter maker or creamery
manager finds himself in charge Of a
creamery that has been established in
a locality poorly supplied with COWS,
the only thing that is likely to win is
hustling. The man that in such a sit
uation waits for the business to grow
up around him is more than likely
to move away before success comes.
In such position the man in charge
must recognize in himself an instruc-
tor as well as a mechanic and manu-
facturer. II the farmers within reach
of his factory or creamery have the
cows but do not bring the milk he will
have to preach the advantages of hav-
ing the creamery make the butter 10
they have not enough cows then he
must preach the advantages to be de-
rived from keeping a herd of miIk
cows. Whatever he does he must
preach the dairy gospel and keep at it.
The question Of his success depends
on the amount of enthusiasm he can
arouse. This means the sacrifice of
the mans ease and ii means a contin-
uity Of purpose that would make him
valuable anywhere. We are CON
WINGED that many Of the creameries
that have proved to be failures would
have been successful If the -factotum"
had done all possible to stir up inter-
est in the subject of dairying and es-
pecially of creamery buttermaking.

Keeping Eggs for Matching.

Eggs for Matching need not be
turned every day, as some believe to
be necessary. Eggs to produce chicks
should not be kept so long that they
would need treatment OF this kipd.
II eggs are to be kept longer than a
week they should be put in a dry
place and kept at a temperature not
to exceed so degrees If possible. OF
course the temperature should not be
low enough to permit the eggs to
freeze. 1t is advised by some poul-
trymen not to use for Matching eggs
that are more than ten days old, as
some of the chicks from older eggs
will prove weak in constitution. In
nature of course it is different. A
hen lays clutch Of eggs in perhaps
three weeks and then begins to sit
OF course some Of the eggs are then
three weeks old. But nature makes
allowance for enormous waste of ma
terial. Out Of those eggs many OF the
chicks that are born soon perish.
Man tries to do away with the natur-
al waste and even to turn it into
profit

Creamery Degeneration.

There are many things to be said in
favor of cooperation in the establish
ing of creameries. One is that the
profits and losses are thereby distri-
buted. 1t prevents any one man from
becoming very rich and it also pre-
vents any one man from going broke"
1t is sad thing to see a man that has
invested all his money in a creamery
finally have to turn over all his prop
erty to the sheriff II there is to be
loss the many can bear that loss better
than one. If there is to be success 1t
is better that the many should divide
it among themselves rather than that
one should have all of the success.
The cooperative idea eliminates very
largely the principle of gambling.
which exists with the individual ven
ture. The spur that drives on the
individual to invest all his property
in a creamery is the possibility that
he will make more than a fair interest
on his money after paying himself for
all services. Stability is what is
wanted in the creamery business. and
it can be best found when the institu-
ton is founded on the interests of all
the patrons and not on a few. Co
operation has to be studied as any
other science, but it is worth the
studying.

TRIBUTE TO HORACE eRgKLEY.

An Interesting Letter Written by Hen
~ Ward Beecher in 1872.
Immediately after the conciusfcn OF
the political campaign in which Hor-
ace Greeley was showed under By u.
5. Grant, for the presidency of the
United States, the Rev. Henry WARD
Beecher, in common with thousands
Of others. felt sad over the terrible
desolation of his old friend. and just
as soon as Mr.. Greeley announced him
self once more in journalistic harness.
addressed to him the following letter:
Brooklyn, Nov. 8, 1879.
Ny Dear Mr.. Greeley: l read your
card in the Tribune with sincere pleas
ure, and congratulate myself and the
cause Of Journalism on your return to
a field in which you have won SO much
reputation and where you have done
such service that the history of Amer
lea cannot be written without includ-
ing as an important part of it your
life and services.
You may think, amid clouds Of
smoke and dust, that. all your old
friends who parted company with you
in the late campaign will turn a mo
mentary difference into a life long
alienation. 1t will not be so. 1 speak
for myself, and also from what per
ceiVe in other mems hearts. Your
mere political influence may for
time he impaired, but your own power
for good in the far wider field of In,
dustrial economy, social and civil crit
icism, and the general well-being OF
society, will not be lessened, but aug.
mented. 1t is true that hitherto tha
times called for a warrior, and such
you were; yet cannot but think with
regret how much ability has been
spent by you that died with the occa,
sion, and which might have built up
positive and permanent elements. But
| look upon your years to come as
likely to be more fruitful and irradi,
ated with kind and beneficent light,
which will leave your name in honor
far greater than if you had reached
the highest Office.
Il beg that you will pardon my In
trusion, especially when you stand in
the shadow of great domestic trou-
Bile. l hoped that a word of honest
respect and sympathy might not dis
please you. There are thousands who
would like to do as l have done, and
who with me will rejoice once more to
be in sympathy with you in all things
beneficent and patriotic. l am, my
dear Mr.. Greeley, very truly yours,
Henry Ward Beecher."

FIND FEW WOMEN srowAwAYs.
Rare Cases involving Members of the
Gentler Sex.

Rare Cases involving Members of the
Gentler Sex.
Women stowaways are very rare.
On Sept. 8, 1901, one was found on the
Neptune line steamer Ohio, which
sailed that day from Baltimore for
Rotterdam. Capt. Samuel Wilson, who
commanded the Ohio, intended send
ing her back ON the pilot boat with
Pilot William Carroll, but as it might
have cost the woman her life if she
had been forced to take to the boat,
the weather being so severe at the
time, she was allowed to remain.
A woman disguised as a man shipped
as a "cattleman" on the Johnston
steamer Vedamore several years ago,
when the late Robert Bartlett was in
command. Her sex was discovered
before the ship reached the Bristol
channel, and Capt Bartlett had her
placed in security until Liverpool was
reached. She smoked cigarettes, play
ed cards and had the record before be-
ing discovered of attending to the cat
tie better than any one Of the men
who had shipped to perform the same
duty.
Recently in New York Louisa Shall
Ter was found among the steerage pas
sengers of the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
She was not stowaway, but mixed
up with the immigrants before the
ship left Bremen and reached New
senger on the steamer. and she could
not bear to have him leave without
her, and she had not the money to
pay her passage. She was allowed to
land by the immigrant officials.

Milk Powders.

We would advise our readers to

reputed recipes for making milk

suspecting public. Sometime a method

milk powder, but when that time
comes the recipe viii not be given
away nor sold for a dollar. Several
scientists at home and abroad have
been working on the problem. The
United States Consul at Bergen, Nor

made progress in this respect. He
had last winter been able, so he said,
to produce a milk powder that re-
sembled fine wheat -four. 1t does not
sour and seems not to be affected
by the weather. 1t can be shipped
in bags, barrels or boxes, like -four,
and will endure long journeys. 1t can
be changed to milk by adding about
ten times its bulk OF water. We
have, however. heard nothing about it
for several months, and 1t may not be

The Slayer in paIryIna.

The dairyman with staying qualities
is the one that makes money in the
end. This past year the prices OF all
kinds of feed have been excessively
high and many are either giving up
the business or preparing to do so.
But this is not the part of wise men.
There are ups and downs in every
business. and the dairy business has
its downs. But at this time it should
not be forgotten that it has also its
ups. II this is a time of high feed.
there will certainly come a period of
low-priced feed and OF good returns
Taking one year with another dairy
prices are as good as can be asked for,
at least so far as the retail prices are
concerned. The producer that allows
the middleman to take more than his
share is not looking after the business.
The men that stay in dairying are the
ones that make money out of it. Near
ly always, however, 1t viii be found
that they have been enabled to be stay
ers because they have studied the
great questions connected with their
business and have taken advantage Of
every condition; that they have
weeded out the worthless cows and
have provided the best systems OF feed
ing.

caponizins.

The author OF "Capons for Profit"
says: There are people whom would
not advise to undertake the operation
Of caponizing. The person to do it
should have above all Things faith in
his undertaking and in himself. He
must be convinced that his work is
right and then go ahead. This Is no
place to make a trial for fun or in a
half-hearted way. II is little Of the
genuine enthusiasm that is needed,
and that is bound to overcome diff
culties should any be encountered.
Then there should be an average
amount of mechanical skill and the
same amount of nerve. Clumsy fin
gers have no business in operating on
live fowl IL you are a little ner-
vous at first it win do no hurt Your
nervousness will wear of after you
operate on two or three fowls and
see how easy the job is and appar-
emily how little pain it causes the
bird. You must have full confidence
in your ability to do it Just right. and
then go ahead without fear or trem-
bling. And when you are once at it,
1t is far better to operate on all the
birds ready for the operation in one
day than fuss along with two or three
every few days. The beginner is apt
to be a little nervous wen he goes
for the first bird, but after he gets his
hand in once everything moves off
smoothly and nicely. His hand be
comes steady and the work passes of
rapidly. OF course it is an advantage
If you can see some one perform the
operation, even on a single bird. No
more is needed to teach you the whole
operation. We ourselves had to learn
it from books and printed instructions
not very plain ones either-and
succeeded beyond expectations. After
a few days practical experience /
thought nothing of caponizing twenty
birds before dinner The operation
indeed after you have once under
taken it and succeeded is an easy
enough thing and causes but little
pain and inconvenience to the bird II
you do it right and with proper tools.

performance in Tours, was making
its final parade through the streets.
When the Place Nicolas Pruneau was
reached Fritz, with a mighty effort,
freed himself from his chains, rose
on his hind legs, trumpeting loudly,
and causing panic among the crowd.
Fortunately two keepers managed to
entangle his feet with ropes, but this
only increased the animals fury, and
he struggled violently, swapping two
large trees. After some exciting mo-
ments he was brought to the ground
and securely bound. The authorities
were notified of the occurrence, and
q picket of infantry was sent to stop
all traffic on the place. The circus
proprietors eventually decided that
Fritz should be killed. Cables, pull
leys and windlasses were brought and
the huge brute was strangled. The
body has been offered to the Tours
