Good Cream Is Necessary

1t was once supposed by a few pro-
gressive creamery men that first
class buttermaker ought to be able to
make good butter from haif-rotten
cream. Later on experience taught
us that there is no method b. which
we can renovate old, over-ripe cream
or milk, and make a desirable product
from same. Therefore, it is of the
utmost importance that the milk or
cream furnished the creamery be in a
clean and sweet condition and free
from all foreign odors. In order to
reach this result it is necessary fQS the
buttermaker to gain some Influence
over his patrons so that they will
receive his instructions and feel tha;
they are benefited.-M. Mortcusen. in

Mr.. Morton, president of both the salt

admitted that he controlled Mr. Tracey

the $210 price on salt would not have

given to sthe railroad company. Fifty
cents per ton is fair profit for the

NO EXTENSION ASKED.
The Garbage Company Will Try to
Keep Faith.

The Topeka Garbage company, 9TH
erwise known as the desiccating COM
pany, will not ask the city council at
it's next meeting for an extension of its
time for building it's proposed garbage
works.
The limit is June l. and though it is
impossible to have the plant in opera
tion by that time, the company thinks
that it viii be able to make a start in
the construction of the building, and
show the city council that it is acting
in good faith. If it should happen
that the company is unable to raise
the necessary funds to begin work on
the building, it will in all probability
not ask for any further extension of
time on its franchise, but will surren-
der that franchise, and propose to
handle the garbage question by means
of a river dump, in similar manner
to the one now in use
The company today received ship
ment of 100 garbage barrels which will
be put in use at once. The garbage
barrels are expensive, and it is not
likely that the company would have in
vested in them al this time unless they
were pretty confident of being able to
continue in business in the city.

Moreover, it is pointed out, as the bulk

there will be no undue strain on the

The depository of the money here
will be the Banque de France, but un-
