CREAMERY FAILURES.
(Marsalalltown Times-Republicano

(MarsA lalltown Times-Republican.)
The decline of the dairy industry
in Iowa lind the widespread depression
that chstracterizes the creamery busi--
ness amid the most prosperous times
that this, country has ever known, fur
nishes a, subject for interesting study.
The newspaper man who is caleld up.
on to report almost daily the failure
of some creamery in Iowa has won
dered att the condition and has cast
about hun for an explanation OF the
cause.
A creamery man OF wide experience
is author ity for the statement that
the hard luck stories now being told
by crearn cry people are due to sever
al directs causes, all emanating from
the fact that the business is new in
Iowa and therefore it but little under
stood. il the first place, many
creameri,ss have made the mistake of
locating near a good sized town, and
found thtlt the district, from which
they should draw their supply of milk,
is already provided with good mar
ket by THE town demand, and conse.
quently til e creamery must pay more
for milk han other creameries with
winch IL rl uSC compete.
Again, this creamery man explains.
the farmelts of this state know more
about corn and hogs than they do
about dair71ing and of late years the
profit in the former has been so great
that few vail bother with the milking
of COWS. his one fact has been the
principal Trouble with the creamery
business glowing more acute as the
prosperity of the farmer increased
creamery must have milk supply
from at least 500 cows in order to prof
itably emple,y an expert butter maker.
and when til farmers refuse to supply
the milk the business is demoralized-
This samts man thinks that the time
will come when the business is better
understood when all the benefits of
increased fertility Of the land, increas-
ed return PED acre, ETC., aecruing from
the dairy b7asiness will attract many
farmers.

LONG PHILIPPINE MARCH.
Tom curran Writes of His Experience
to His Brother

letter received recently by j. ".
Curran, city treasurer, from his broth
er Tom Curran, who is at present a
member of Troop G OF the 18th United
States cavalry, tells of $50 mile
march taken by his command during
September. The letter was written at
Davao, Mindinao, under date OF Sep
TENDER Is, and is as follows:
Troop G left Davao, September 16,
and arrived at Makar on the twentieth.
A trip of 14S miles over high noun
tains and hard trail, in ninety-seven
and half hours. This is considered
remarkably good time. We turned
over the horses to Troop z of the
Fifteenth cavalry, and boarded the
quartermaster's boat, "Butwan." We
arrived at Malabang September %.
Three mules died during the long
march and the rest of the pack were
knocked out. We walked the last two
days to save the horses.
''Malabang is about ESQ miles from
Davao, and about 100 miles east of
Zambo. There are about 1000 soldiers
in the field here. among them being
companies A, e, and H. of the Twenty
seventh Infantry, and G, Of the Eff
teenth cavalry. Fourteen miles into
the interior at a place called Madeline
Falls, is company G, engineer corps
and two companies of the Eleventh in
fantry. At camp Wears, nine miles
from the falls are eight more compan-
les OF the Twenty-seventh infantry,
one company of the Tenth infantry,
two companies of the Eleventh infan-
try, and companies A and l. Of the
Fifteenth cavalry. Two batteries of
the mountain artillery and one more
company of engineers are also sta
toned there.
Captain Pershing is in command
under Brigadier General Sumner, and
that officer is under Major General
Davis, commander of the Philippines.
General Sumner is right with the adj
vance. The MOros refused to surrender
and an advance is now on the move
The bulletin said today in camp that
several Moro forts had been taken and
number of the natives killed, but few
| of the Americans, however, were
wounded.
| There have been forty-one horses
turned over to the troop and we will
escort the wagon trains to the front
| for the present. The order came for
me to go to Zambo for examination in
the signal corps, but as the troops got
orders to move the troop commander
would not let me go, and am glad Of
lit. Troops A. and L.. are doing fine
work and we will soon Join them.
The fort they are going after now
is the stronghold of the Moro tribe. 1t

about eight miles from Vivars. through
a swamp. We will have to build pom

it is said. will take away the last
hopes of Mr.. Hepburn for a revision
of the house rules. For a long time
MI. Hepburn has fought for this. He
considers the rules too strong in that
they give too absolute power to the
speaker Mr. Cannon is said to be
just the sort of man that will cling to
such rules and -fiercely oppose any
project to modify them. This was
largely the cause of Mr.. Hepburn's op-
position to Cannon. Some of those
who like to hear Mr.. Hepburns far
famed caustic oratory declare that
there will be plenty of fun during the
next congress when he takes occasion
