UncIean Creamerles.

Starting discoveries of unsanitary
conditions surrounding creameries
have been made by inspectors of the
state dairy and food commission. In
several cases creameries are located
where it is impossible to drain away
the waste products, which are accord
ingly deposited in cess pools. Itshas
been found that in many instances
these pools are sunk in sandy soil or
loose strata of rock and drain directly
into the wells from which the cream
cries draw their water supply. The
utensils are washed in this foul water
and the butter worked and washed in
it. Samples of the water have been
sent to the state chemist for analysis.
Where the water is found to be pol
luted, these creameries will be requir-
ed to cement their cess pools or go out
of business. Great care will be taken
by the inspectors, who will send in
samples whenever there is any rea-
son to suspect the wells are contami-
mated.

THE WIRE AGE.

We sometimes think that the present
might properly be called the wire age
Present progress would be impossible
without wire. 1t carries our messages
over land and under the sea, permits
us to talk one with the other, though
a thousand miles apart, seizes the wa
terfall in the almost inaccessible nouns
tain canyon and transmits its power a
hundred miles or more to centers of
civilization. A wire makes possible the
vast interurban traffic of the country,
the lighting of our municipalities and
homes, the distribution of power in all
places, whether far up or down deep in
the earth; it transmits the news of the
world, regulates the markets, forms
the fencing of the nation, serves as
burglar alarm, clothesline, ships rigs
ging and bed springs and in ALMOST
numberless ways indispensably minis
ters to the comfort and prosperity Of
man. 1t is the wire age sure enough. 1

uNpRopucrrvE ACRES.

The unproductive acre on the farm
is different proposition from the uns
productive COW in the dairy. Both are
bad leaks, but with the cow which does
not pay for her board regeneration is
impossible, and she should be sent to
the feed yard, but the unproductive
acre cannot be thus got rid of and
becomes problem involving YegenerI
alton. 1t may be hillside, poor SOIL
washing badly, for which one of two
things may be done--it can be got into
grass and kept there, or it may be
planted with fruit or forest trees. The
acre may be strip all round the line
fence grown up to weed and bramblei
This should be reclaimed by breaking
up and seeding down. 1t may be wet
acre in the middle of the field which q
little job of thing will reclaim, or, il
this cannot be done, it would grow d
lot of nice willows. Then 1t may be an
acre and perhaps more which has been
SO starved and robbed that oats a foot
high or ten bushels of corn is all it will
produce, in which case seed down with
clover and give it twenty-five loads OF
barnyard manure to the acre. There is
still another acre bordering the public
highway which should be SO treated
that it will produce ton or more Of
good hay each year instead of a useless
mass of weeds and rubbish. We would
not be looking for more land until these
unproductive acres were reclaimed and
utilized If we were in your place. So
far as the old COW is concerned. see
that Chicago gets her and not your
neighbor or the local butcher. i

STICK TO THE HOME CREAMERY.
AS it looks to us those farmers who
withdraw their patronage from theig
home creamery and sell their cream to
some big concern hundred miles away
are making a serious blunder. The
home creamery thus shorn of patron
age will Of necessity be compelled to
shut down. When this is done and the
trust creameries control the situation
they will pay the farmer what they
please for his product or give him the
poor alternative of selling his butter to
the local merchant. The sensible and
businesslilse thing to do is to stand
heartily in sympathy with the home
institution no matter what tempting
offers are made by the foreign con-
Germs. Some can't see it this way now.

management and care Of two public
parks recently-parks in two thrifty
western cities of 5000 population. In
one the trees, which were mostly large
elms, had been trimmed up to point
where the natural beauty Of the trees
was destroyed. In the other the trees
had been set in straight rows like cab
bages or corn and were SO thickly
planted that grass would not grow I'M
der them. The more public park can
be made like piece of natural forest
the more attractive will it be.
