Some Creamery swind1e.


When the creamery swindles that
are now being worked in various parts
of Missouri have been exposed, the
exposure will probably make communi-
ties really adapted to dairying over
cautious about engaging in the bust
ness. Prof r. NJ. Washburn, of the
Missouri Agricultural College, who has
wide experience in the creamery bust
ness, gives the following information
that will help communities TO deter
mine when it Is wise to build Il cream
cry:
whenever the milk from at least
100 cows cannot be guaranteed TO be
absolutely Forthcoming at once says
Prof. Washburn, 1.-THE creamery had
better not be built. The cost of MAX
ing butter will be about cents per
pound, and no farmer company can
stand such expense. If 500 or 600
COWS can be secured in the fiye-mile
radius. the cost of making n pound
of butter can be reduced to 312 or 4
cents, which is probable basis OF
business. and the creamery will bene-
fit the community. A good little cream
cry that can handle this amount OF
business can he built and equipped for
, s.. coo or 81. 500. If the community viii

WAR FOR THE WEEK.
LITTLE INFORMATION FROM THE
FAR EAST.
Great Port Arthur Fortress Remains
Unconquered sapping and Mining
Now Taking Place of Direct Assaults
-StoesseI Believed to Be in Distress.

The lack of Information from Jap
anese sources concerning conditions at
Port Arthur is sufficient evidence that
the great fortresses are still uncon-
querable, and that further sapping
and mining by the besiea. ars has taken
the place OF direct assaults. There
have been neither official nor semi
official statements from Toxic, nor
censored dispatches from General
Nogi's headquarters, which bring in
formation down later than Nov. Z. AT
that time the japanese were retaining
the keekwan moat, but We're suffering
heavily from Russian fire.
On the other hand it is clefg thar 4

in driving the Japanese out of posi-
tons they won in attacks at the end

boat destroyer RastOropny at Chefoo
was the event of the week, b I, what
ever dispatches it may have brought,

tanning facts of later date than Nov .
The Rastoropny was sunk by the
Russians themselves, and such sac
rifice of valuable vessel justified the
Inference that its mission had been
one of the gravest Importance. 1t was
natural to think that General Stoessei
was asking the Car for permission to

That our farm animals are overfed
with corn no one questions and one
of the most difficult things to accom-
plish ct the present time is to induce
farmers to see wherein it is profitable
to cut down on the corn diet. Corn
is grown with comparative ease while
other feed stuffs must perhaps, be
bought, so that it is natural to feed
the corn. 1t would not be sound aa-
vice to advocate the selling of the
corn and buying other grains with the
proceeds for the feeding Of swine be-
cause the margin of profit in selling
swine is so small, but on the average
farm 1t is quite possible to utilize 9th
err feed stuffs and odds and ends
through the early period of the pigs
life so that 1t will grow bone and mus
Gle and thus be In shape to fatten at
the smallest possible expense. 1t is
surely profitable to buy a reasonable
amount of bran to use with the skim
milk in feeding young p gs, while the
same plan might be ruinous after the
pig was six months old

A day for the planting of trees in

not because forests are in danger of

species should be perpetuated in THE

much to the physical comfort of the
city as well as artistic value.
Who does not breathe a sigh of re-
lief as he leaves the hot glare that
enshrouds the Bridge Of Spain and
finds himself protected by the shade
from the fringe of trees along the
Bagumbayan? There Is certainly no
reason why that popular drive should
not be more completely lined with
trees along it's entire length, except
that what is eyerybody's business is
not usually attended to with any no
ticeable expedition. There is just a
slight risk that In the rush and hurry

Now l had ever a quick temper. and
as he turned on his heel, was like to have
replied and raised a brawl. My own
meddIing tongue had brought the rebuff
| upon me; but yet my heart was hot as
he walked away.
I was standing there and looking after

WOMEN AS WORKERS.
Some Figures that. After All, Are Not
Disseminating.


Discouraginp.
A statistican has gone to The trouble
to ascertain that 80 per cent of all the
divorced women, 30 per cent of the
widowed and 81 per cent of the single
women are engaged in gainful pur-
suits. Only about per cent of the
married women are similarly situated
While the great body of married won-
en- are at home attending to the do
nestle duties which are naturally set
down for them, there is some hope
still that he old order of things is not
going to be completely overthrown.
The world will not be without homes.
The figures indicate that "a per cent
OF the married men are supporting
their wives. though the women are,
of course, doing their full share in
maintaining domestic establishments
which are bulwarks of morals and
good order and which keep the race
from dying out.
On surface analysis it may seem
wonderful that "a per cent of the mar
ried men find enough to do to support
families, when so many women are in
mems occupations; but the earth is big,
and the ordinary attempt at compre-
hending the things to be done and the
number of people to do them is puny
indeed. In the long run there appears
to be room for everybody-the home
woman, the new woman, the man
nish woman. the bachelor woman. etc.
likewise for the womanish man and
the men who depend on the labor and
slrewdness of their wives to keep
them going. The mixture of the sexes
in the active business affairs of to-day
would have scared writer's on political
economy twenty five years ago. 1t
seems plain enough, for example. that
when n man on salary gets work for
his daughter in the same occupation at
perhaps smaller compensation than he
receives, he is sapping the foundation
of his own employment and prosperity;
that. in the long ruin. he will be simply
dividing up his salary among the men,
beers of his own family and driving
other men out of employment.
The results of widespread changes of
this sort look, apparently, to an entire
revolutionizing of society. But people
are not stopping to study the text
books They are going ahead with
the fashions of the time. leaving the
pessimists and those who have nothing
to do but study to read up on political
economy. A great many wise books
have been impracticable in relation to
business affairs. If society is going
wrong in putting the gentler sex in the
lines of employment that were former
" exclusively for men, the mistake
will manifest itself some day in seri-
GUS way. Money panics result from
over-wrought ambition to get rich
quick and then follows the travail of
liquidation And so it is with other
affairs. -Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cleanliness in Feeding poultry.


Do not throw the soft food for the
fowls on the ground. but give 1t in
troughs, or in any suitable vessel into
which the fowls cannot place their
feet; but hard food, such as the
grains, may be scattered with advant-
age. Give the food preferably in the
yard or the fields and change the feed
ing place frequently, When there Is
not pure stream of water, supply the
fowls daily with fresh water, which
should be placed in the shade in YES
sci into which they cannot get their
feet Bear In mind that the germs Of
disease are easily carried from an in
fected farm on the soles of the boots
and feet of the attendant Some dis
eases are invariably produced in dirty
surroundings, and they can best be
avoided by cleanliness and disinfec-
ton. These preventive measures will
guard against many diseases to which
poultry are liable, chiefly roup. gapes,
tuberculosis and diseases of the comb
and skin, and will also improve the
general condition Of the fowls, as well
as materially increase their market
value.
