Cost Of Running a Creamery.
The total cost for running a cream
cry and marketing the product, includ-
inc interest on the investment and
provision for a sinking fund, ought not
to exceed 49, cents for every pound of
butter made. Under favorable condi-
tons this cost ought to be reduced to
3 or even as low as ~ cents. The
smallest practical creamery cannot be
operated for less than 81 or SIS per day.
It becomes evident, then, that the dali
" product should be over $50 pounds
as a safe minimum; consequently no
creamery should be put into operation
unless having control or promise of
about 800 cows.--Oscar Err. Universe
ty of Illinois.
Importance of the Farmer.
Let us bear in mind that in the
creamery business the farmer, the man
who furnishes the milk, is the most
important factor. This should be had
in view when shaping the policy Of
conventions.
Inside the creamery the buttermaker
is the most important factor. There
he is. pretty much the whole thing.
But the buttermaker and his factory
don't amount to much without good
~ supply of milk or cream. The farm
err is the foundation-yea, the founda-
ton plus the four walls of the institu-
ton. If the farmer does not make
money-that is, get profit from his
labor and his investment-the cream
cry cannot long succeed, and the but
termaker cannot hope to be long in
business.
Don't exclude the farmer from your
convention programmes. Let him take
part in all the discussions it is possible
to get him to take part in. 1t will re-
suit in good to the creamery and to all
connected with the creamery.-A. e..
Anderson in Creamery Journal.
To Test Keeping Qualities.
Danish dairy societies have just de-
cided to test the keeping quality Of the
butter sent to the shows of the prov
inces. The samples will be placed in
cold storage and there held for ten
days, about the time required for plac-
ing the product on the table of the
English consumer, at temperature
corresponding as closely as possible to
that which the butter would meet in
transit. The state has made an addi-
tiona1 appropriation to cover expenses
of cold storage for the first year.

Advice to dairymen about raising
their own dairy cows is given by A. C.
Mcpherson of Vinton county, O., in
Country Gentleman as follows:
If dairymen would depend upon rails
ing their dairy animals themselves the
tory, as a rule, than to buy from stock
men or spectators in a haphazard
way any 'pickups" that are offered.
In order to begin right in rearing our
own dairy stock calves should be Sc
lected whose granddamS on both sides
had a good record at the pail or churn;
then there will be a reasonable hope
that the calf will evolve into profita-
BILE member of the dairy. If we are
in the dairy business for milk then the
attention is drawn toward the animal
which will turn her food and energies
into furnishing an abundance of milk,
but if the aim of the dairyman be
cream or butter he does not care if
the amount of milk be large or small SO
it yields proper amount Of butter fat.
But if the dairyman deems the rear
ing of calves only a 'side issue and
as a result gives only Indifferent treat
ment he might just as we'll buy his
COWS, for a stunted calf is a pitiable
object and will never fulfill it's des-
tiny, no matter what it's after treat
ment may be. Extravaganza in the
feeding of the calf is pardonable-par-
simoniousness, never! Extravagant
feeding-it would be called by many
means milk fresh from the cow or new
milk for at least three weeks after the
birth Of the calf, and the calf that is
not worth what new milk it can con-
sumo during the first few weeks of its
life is not worth the rearing. Let me
emphasize that the first weeks of the
calf's existence determine it's value
later on.

The Three Gods of the Englishman.

The Three Gods of the Eng1ishman.
The Englishman is the last man
among civilized races to be an artist,
a musician or q poet, but he is tie first
to be a gentleman. An Englishman
thinks coldly, loves coldly and fights
coldly. but he gets there just the same.
There is always a fascinating smooth
ness about him, and he worships three
gods-his flag. his trade and his top
hat.-Sydney Bulletin.

SEND THE FA1REsr DOWN THE MIDDLE.

Bring the old musicians fiddle,
Relic of the bygone days;
Send the fairest down the middle
While the lifting music sways.
Light of foot and quick of laughter
Swing the dancers, toe and heel,
AS they pass or follow after
In the quaint Virginia reel.
Make a welcome for the stranger,
Should his footstep cross the door,
BY the memory Of the manger
And the Christ that was of yore;
Gather children's faces round you,
AS he gathered them long syne,
If it be the years have crowned you
With their radiance divine.
Deck the tree and light the candles.
Let the stockings all be hung,
For saint with furry sandals
Ger the housetops high has swung,
And his reindeer steeds are prancing
Through the star bespangled rime,
And the moonbeams pale are glancing
In the merry Christmas time.

The President on Good Roads.

President Roosevelt uttered some great
truths in St. Louis recently when he
spoke briefly upon good roads.
"Roads," he declared, tell the great
ness OF a nation. The influence OF the
nations which have not been road build
ers has been evanescent. Rome, the
most powerful of the older civilizations,
left her impress on literature and speech;
she changed the boundaries of nations,
but palmer than anything else left to
remind us Of the Roman civilization, are
the Roman roads.
Merely from historical analogy, this
country should so act that posterity will
Justly say when speaking to us, '"Tbat
nation built good roads,"
In conclusion he spoke of the benefits
to the country districts of the trolley
line, the telephone, and the rural free
delivery, and closed with the assertion
that good roads were proving the great
est benefit of all.

Over in Montpelier there were thirty
seven arrests for drunkenness in April,
as compared with six during the same
month OF last year. Montpelier had an
open saloon but half the month at that.
Since May began the "drunks" at the
capitol have doomed up still more numer-
ously. Other license towns are approx
mating that record. At present writing
it looks as though the anti-election claim
that license would not increase the con.
sumption of liquor, and would decrease
drunkenness, was a mistake.

King Alfonso Prays Briefly for the
 Dead Statesman.
 Madrid, Jan. 6.-The Cabinet decided to- day on a state funeral for the late Pre- mier. Senor 9agasta. The body will be embaImed and lie in state in the Chamber of Deputies.
 The funeral services will take place Wednesday at o'clock in the afternoon. first at the Pantheon and subsequently in the Antocha Church. where the interment will occur.
 The remains of the late Premier were conveyed to the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon. King Alfonso, accom- panied by the Duke of sotomayer, prayed briefly at the bier. Immense crows have passed the catafaiQue which stands in the lobby of the Cortes.
 Senor Sagasta's last term of office overtaxed his physiciai strength. He persisted, however. in holding out and often used . stlmuiant before attending the cabinet councils or addressing the cortes. After his resignation of the post of premier his weakness increased rapidly and when he was compelled to take his bed last Saturday his physicians had no hope of his recovery. During his last hours Senor Sagasta was only kept alive by the administration of oxygen and heart stfmulants. He died possessed of very small fortune and without leaving will.
 The demonstrations of sympathy here and in the provinces have been remarlta- ble, and especially among the lower and middle classes.
