creamery's success, even greater
number is necessary to-day when
central plants are springing up on
every hand. Still we believe the
power of the central plant to close
local creameries is considerably
oyerestimated and that the latter
properly operated had little to fear
from this source More creameries
will close for lack of cows and want
of interest. Poor management is
also charged with closing goodly
number, few realizing until too late
that expert management as well as
expert buttermaking is requisite
which to ignore is fatal.
There will come day when you
and ] won't be here, and the world
will 90 on just in the same old way,
and so get all the pleasure out of
life you can. Don't think of piling
dollars for some one else to spend.
If YOU have dollars let go of a few
of them for your own personal ben
eft. Remember when the end
comes. you go out of this world
Just as you came into it with
nothing. Deny yourself not a
single comfort in life. There are
plenty of discomforts here and they
come whether you want them or
mot. And above all don't live for
Yourself alone and no one else
That is no kind of a life. Make
others happy if you can. There
is more pleasure in that than in
anything else. This world loves
the man who scatters sunshine as
he passes through life and it isn't
so very hard to scatter it either
and when you die your presence
will be missed.
Unlike the pioneers in most from
tier countries of twenty-five years
ago. who were mostly poor we
notice that those who come out
nowadays are well to-do and thrifty.
This will help to develop the coun-
try much sooner than if they were
poor and had to earn money before
they could make improvements
Still we observe with "A good deal
of repugnance that the modern
tenderfoot with all his improved
financial, social and economic CON
ditions lacks much of the. old-time
generosity and openhanded liber-
atty characteristic of the hassa-
hampers. They wereN poor but
liberal while the newcomer is a
good deal of tight wad seemingly
suspicious of every man he meets

inimical to the old frontier spirit.
The rank flavor found in some
carcasses of mutton is not due to
the contact of the flesh with wool
during slaughter. Much of this
trouble comes from allowing the
intestines to remain too long in
the carcass after killing. One of
the main essentials in eliminating
the undesirable flavor is to imme-
diately and perfectly bleed the
animal. Never knock II sheep in
the head to kill it. This will
almost without exception result III
the muttony flavor. The only per
feet way to slaughter a sheep is to
hang it up by its hind legs SO that
the head clears the ground and
then kill quickly, cutting the throat
with sharp knife, being sure to
sever the jugular vein. This in
sures perfect draining of the blood
and hence clean carcass. Next
quickly run the skinning knife
lengthwise of the belly and lay the
