WOULD GRADE
CREAM
Inspector Flint Urges the Adoption of
the Grading System in North Dakota
Means Better Prices to Farmers
for Their Product.


The matter of the grading of cream
sold by farmers to the creameries in
different parts of the state has been
taken up by Mr.. Flint, the state in
spector of dairies, and, cooperating
with him the commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor. through the medium
OF literature, has done much towards
the creating of the proper sentiment
among the farmers and dairymen.
The adoption of the methods of
grading cream at diaries and cream
cries Is becoming more general and
the result has been profitable to the
farmers of the state. In Nebraska,
under the auspices of the state, regu-
lations went into effect June 1, which
OBLIGED the grading of cream and ac-
cording to the official reports the tests
showed that rs per cent of the cream
delivered at the creameries for the
first few days of the new year was
second grade. Farmers realized that
the hrst grade brought cents a pound
more than the second grade. Accord
ing to the report of the state commits
sioner for Nebraska, under date of
March 10. conditions had become re-
versed, rs per cent of the cream de-
livered was given first grade. Cream
cry men say that it is ali in the man
ner OF caring for the milk and cream,
attention to sanitary matters and
watchfulness of stock and their keep
ing, all combined. do much towards
the raising of the grade of the cream.
1t is stated that some of the cream
cry managers are not recognizing the
benefits of the grading regulations to
the extent officials think they should,
they may hurt some localities, but the
higher prices would give an impetus
to the farmers and improved methods
would be forthcoming and take the
place of carelessness.

TO some girls and women this

Yet that it is so often approached

increasingly complex, in many COM

New Zealand Looks Ahead.

Taking warning from this country. which

eye or provide agreeable refuge for
those who wish to escape from city hub
bub to Asojourn in the peace Of nature.
Out Of the line Of common travel. New
Zealand Is slowly making itself known as
a wonderland of manifold attraction. Into
each of its varied aspects the scenery
preservation commission has penetrated.
and everywhere 1t has set aside tracts FOR
perpetual parks in order that the natural
beauties of the ancient past may be handed
down to generations yet to come without
the DETACHMENT that commercial greed
might imprint upon them. In this work 1t
has been found that the aboriginal MAORI
saw with much the same eye the Eu-
ropean settler who is displacing him.
Many of the spots withheld for park re-
serves are regions filed with sacred his
tory of the native race, and these the Maori
members of the commission have pointed
out for inclusion in the lands preserved.
In connection with its state-owned rail-
roads the colonial government has insti-
tuted a department of scenic excursions
which follows close upon the heels of the
survey and Institutes lines of travel by

But now it is no longer just a passing
spell of extreme cold that leads them
thither. The death can has come and they
must lay their bones in the common mortu-

guanaco seeks this place; II would be
nearer to the truth if We were to say it was

But the most true account of all Is that
it is in mere obedience to the inherited In
stinct that the guanaco resorts to this
refuge.
Yet another instance of this mysterious
guidance is afforded by the habit OF the rat
tlesnakes in the colder countries to assem-
Bile together for hiberna ton in caves. These
snakes, on emerging from the caves. cover

young are generally born far away, and yet
these young succeed in finding their way to
the caves with the greatest certainty.
