The Cooperative Creamery.

"The nor 1 travel over this
beautiful state of Missouri and see the
rich lowlauds and beautiful wooded
uplsnds, the more am l impressed
with its superior advantages as a dairy
%state," says Professor R. M. Wash
burn Of the Missouri Agricultural
College. When we consider that IN
Minnesota and Wisconsin where the
soils are not a whit better than Mis-
souri, soil, if as good, and where the
summers are q month shorter and the
winters a month longer and much
colder than here in Missouri, dairylng
of q high class is carried on with great
success, we wonder why the Missouri
farmers are so slow in claiming their
share Of the money that from
this industry.
ala The southern half OF both the
states named there are from DO to 125
creameries or cheese factories in every
county; while in Missouri there are less
than 100 of both together in the entire
state. Each year there through these
small centers of business from 500, 900
to 500, 900 in cash are paid direct to
the farmers, This means more than
appears on the surface, for remember,
that with every 81 worth Of wheat sold
from the farm about 80 cents worth of
the farm goes with it, while in each 81
worth of butter there is but l cent
worth of soil fertility.
$50 far as soil and climate are con-
cerned the farmers Of the north two
thirds of Missouri have every advantage
possessed by their more nothern
brothers. Indeed so far as cost of
production is concerned they are much
better situated. Where it cost the
Minnesota farmer 8 cents to produce a
pound of butter fat, the Missouri
farmer ought to produce it for s cents
In the southern part of Missouri butter
fat can be produced just as cheaply
but on account of the lack of natural
ice, the manufacture of it into butter
will be far more expensive ard it may
be that here cheese factories would be
preferable.
"There is one important thing,
however, that most of the farmers In
Missouri lack, and that is experience,
both In the selection and breeding OF
dairy stock and in the care of milk and
cream.
"Any community Of farmers desir-
ing to start a cooperative creamery
should first of all determine, not how
much money can be raised, but how
mary cows within SIX miles of the
place where the creamery is to be
built can be relied upon to furnish
milk regularly for the support OF the
business. II at least 400 COWS cannot
be secured the building OF the butter
factory should by all means be
postponed. In scores of towns in
Missouri IS well as in other states Of
the northwest, creameries we're built
%prematurely when there was not
business enough to make success
possible. Many of these idle and
rotting factories which cost the
community from $4,000 to $4,000 each
are still to be seen as monuments Of
the greet Of the creamery promoter

rxpERIENoE TEA onEs.

Some people say that there is no such thing as good or bad luck, but R. D. Dukes. a farmer of Beloit. Kansas. re- speetfully begs leave % differ with them. He is convinced that there Is bad luck. and that he has had it. He lost his crops. cholera killed most of his hogs. a shed fell and killed his two cows. his wife was thrown from bug gy and hurt so badly that she went on crutches for months. and she was just beginning to walk again when she was burned to death by an exploding lamp: MT. Dukes also was seriously burned in the fire; then he injured his knee and had to go on crutches; then he was badly burned again in prairie fire; a few weeks later his mother died, and recently his house burned up with all it's contents.
 MT. Dukes doesn't want any more ev-. idence that there is such thing as bad luck, and he feels that he could stand quite a run of the other kind.

PERHAPS HERE TOO.

They are talking in Boston that they have modern Ben. Franklin there. At first thought this notion seems rather Ipreposterous, but when one thinks of lthe unrecognized great men in New
 Haven 1t is possible to believe that 1 there may be some In Boston who have escaped the notice due them. Ed ward Atkinson is the man who is pick ed out by Boston to wear Ben. Frank Ilin's mantle. The Boston Herald points out that MT. Atkinson is, as Dr. Franklin was, self-made man, in the sense that neither had the advan- ltage of a collegiate education. In each case there was, or has been, compensa- Ition for this found in the ability to Iregard problems from natural, rather Ithan an acquired, point of view MT. led his attention to large number of practical problems. In some instances uG udS DcCll dlSHPpOlitS0 III tlAC lC~ |sults achieved, which is only natur- |al; in others it must be said that he |has achieved what might fairly be termed great successes.

EEMEmB rR THIS IF YOU CAN.

Awhile ago some Earnest and Honest IGentlemen, members of the Connecti- cut Civil Service Reform Association,
 wrote a letter to Mayor Studley in which they rather carelessly and in-
 definitely said: ''We certainly do not
 object to the appointment of Repub-
 lican to office, but the appointment of man who is actively working in the
 interest of one of the appointing Board lis very different thing The Board referred to was the Civil Service Board | of New Haven. The members of this
 Board jointly and respectfully asked the Earnest and Honest Gentlemen what member of the Board they meant.
 One of the Earnest and Honest Gentle
 men replied Ion behalf of those con- cerned" that they meant James D.
 Civil Service Board of New Haven jointly and respectfully asked the I<dl1cOJ dIlQ I1OllCoL 0S1iblClAlC4l lO cAP- pear before the Board and give the facts on which the charge against MT Dewell was based. The Earnest and Honest Gentlemen replied that as they had complained to the Mayor and were
 going to furnish him evidence bearing on the point in question and other statements they declined to appear be- fore the Civil Service Board of New Haven.
 These are the main points so far in queer little incident of the Reform movement which is sweeping over this community, or would be sweeping over lit if it were. Further proceedings will be awaited with interest by those who can remember what has already been lsaid. If we understand the Earnest land Honest Gentlenlens words and meaning they now say that man has been appointed to office who is actively working in the interest of MT. Dewell a member of the appointing Board And perhaps the word lis" means was" at the time of the appointment. We hope that when the Earnest and
 Honest Gentlemen appear before the Mayor he will ask for the basis of the rather serious charge they have made and get it. We know that in these | troubled and talkative times it is hard to pin even educated troublers and takers down to the use of plain and definite words, but it ought to be done l in this case if it can be. We believe there is nothing in the City Charter or the Charter of the Board of Control that forbids it..

was falling. the birds began to rise, and for about half an hour they poured out of the top like a stream of black smoke. This same sight may now be seen if one chooses to rise early and visit some old factory chimney which is used as a roasting place by the swifts. Quite as interesting to my mind is the sight of these birds going in to roost at dusk. The first time I saw this phenomenon was at Greenwich. Conn, where one evening. I was watching an immense flock of swifts circling in the air in the vicinity of tall old chimney. Gradu- ally. as the darkness came on, the birds gathered nearer to the top of this chim- ney. in a swiriing mass, as though some force were stirring them round. Pre- sently one of the swifts dropped down, then another and another. and the whole flock assuming the form of a gigantic funnel, whirled into the ehiIn- ney mouth as though they were sucked downward by a whirlpool.
 One of the popular errors concerning the swift is the belief that it is a swal- low, and it is called the chimney swal- low by nine-tenths of the people. As q matter of fact, however, it is not even closely related to the swallows, being much more nearly akin to the hum mingbirds and the goatsuckers. Like birds of the latter class, swifts feed on insects which they capture on the wing. Their powers of flight are marvellous, white on foot they are practically help less. Their wings have been developed to a wonderful degree, but their feet, through disuse have become weak and quite useless for purposes of locomotion. Their toe-nails are sharp, however, and enable them to cling securely to the ir- side of a chimney and when, for any reason, a nest gives way and falls down as 1t often does, the young birds, if not too small, can scramble up to the top of the chimney to be fed by their parents until they are able to shift for them selves

 either for months or for a longer pe-
 riod. and may be the only indication of
 what is impending. At a later stage
 the face becomes somewhat swollen.
 and the mental state of the patient shows remarkable alteration. The
 sufferers neglect their work. avoid the
 society of their friends. and suffer from
 drowsiness; they speak very slowly and
 softly. and may even lose the power of
 speech for several weeks. Some ex-
 hibit mental alteration, and, accord ing to a native missionary, maniaeal excitement is of occasional occurrence.
 Tremulousness of the trunk and ex- tremities comes on at somewhat early stage and generally continues till death. The pulse rate is by no

 but cancellation nevertheless soon sets in. and the skin becomes a pale gray color. In the final stage there are con- fractions of the arms and legs, the head is retrohexed. the patients are un- able to move, are somnolent. and must be artifcially fed. Death is preceded by deep coma. Recovery has never
 been known; the time from the first symptoms till death varies from four months to three years. All ages and both sexes are susceptible to the dis ease, but most cases are between fif- teen and fifty. In some places the mal- ady is believed to be contagious, in |others not; but it has an obvious ten
 dency to occur in certain families. Dr.
 Hintze has not been able to form a distinct opinion on this question.

coULp sPARE PIN FoR RAR,

COULD SPARE PIN FOR BABY. One day the wife of an absent minded professor in a New England college stepped into the library, where the professor was supposed to be enter taining his youngest boy and particular pet. There was a suspicious silence, and then she saw that her husband was deep in book. while the baby, perched upon his fathers knee, was en- deavoring to swallow a large black headed pin which he had pulled from a tempting coat lapel.
 Dear me, Henry" gasped the mother as she flew into the room, res- cued the pin and seized her child. Didn't you see that baby was trying to swallow a pin he had pulled out of your lapel?"
 ''No. my dear had not noticed" he said mildly. And in any case I have another pin there. Yes, there it is. You see could easily spare one to the boy. It almost seems a pity to have disturbed him when he was playing so quietely. does it not, my dear? And all for pinl" said the man of learning, with 8 nair of general reproach. as he returned to his book and the mother withdrew the baby to place of safety. Youth Companion.

Japanese oiled papers, made from the barks of trees or shrubs, are astonish- ingly cheap and durable according to a writer in the National Geographic Mag azine. As a cover for his load of tea when a rain storm overtakes him, the Japanese farmer spreads over it a tough, pliabIe cover of oiled paper, which is almost as impervious as tar paulin and as light as gossamer He has doubtless carried this cover for years, neatly packed away somewhere about his cart. The "rikisha'' coolies in the large cities wear rain mantles of this oiled paper which cost less than eighteen cents and last for year or more with constant use. But per- haps the most remarkable of all the papers which find a common use in the Japanese household are the leather pa- pers of which tobacco pouches and pipe cases are made. They are almost as tough as French kid, so translucent that one can nearly see through them. and as pliable and soft as calfskin. The material of which they are made is as thick as cardboard, but as flexible as kid.

It appears from decision of the French courts that man may fight a duel with pistols or swords, and if with fatal results there is no penalty. But if one cannot afford these weapons and fights with humber means there is no such immunity Two men of Charonne have been prosecuted in consequence of having fought a duel with knives Both men were wounded, and it was admitted that everything had been done fairly and in order, and, though coun- sel for the defense pleaded eloquently for the application of the same law to his clients as is applied to duelists of higher social position, sentences of four months imprisonment were passed.
