AND CHEESE
Experts Advice to be Furnished
Free to Dairymen BY Univer.
sity ef.Wisconsin.

Professor E. H. Harrington of the
University of Wisconsin dairy school
announces today new plan by which
butter and cheese makers of the state
may send their products each month
to the dairy school for expert. ex-
animation and advice as to merits
and defects. The purpose is to have
the regular everyday products of the
factories examined monthly by COM
petent judges at the dairy school.
The results Of the examination, to-
gether with letter of advice, will be
returned to the butter and cheese
makers without delay. The purpose
of the new arrangement is to be help
full in raising the quality Of Wisconsin
butter and cheese to the highest
standard, and to aid in locating the
causes of defects in these products.
These monthly examinations are In
no sense contests, but are designed
purely to assist the butter maker and
the cheese maker in his effort to inn
prove his products, and to maintain a
high standard of quality in them.
1t is planned to issue diplomas to
all persons taking part in each exhi-
bit during the year. Three classes of
diplomas will be issued. Diplomas of
class A will be awarded to those hav-
ing an average score of 95 or more;
class B diplomas to those whose aver
age score is between 80 and 90; and
class G diplomas to those with an
average score of IS to 80. These
certificates will be duly signed by the
authorities, and can be used by those
receiving them as an indication of the
excellence of the products.

Most men who own a watch think
they know all about it. They have the
number fixed in their memory In case
it is stolen. They could probably
pick il out from so other watches with
their eyes shut. But how many men
know that their watch is a compass
and will tell north from south as ac-
curately as it will tell the time of day?
Stanley, the explorer, did not know it
until he had groped his way through
the dark continent and met Belgian
sailor on the coast. Every watch is
compass. If you point the hour hand
to the sun the south is exactly half
way between the hour and the figure
XII to the dial. Suppose for instance,
it is O'Clock. Point the hand indi-
eating to the sun and the XI on the
watch is exactly south. If it is 6
O'Clock point the hand indicating to
the sun and the figure x on the dial
is due south. No man need get lost
IL he carries watch.

Some boys do not earn $40 a year,

Little boys should think it over serious

WEALTH OF THE
UNITED STATES
The Riches of This Nation are
Almost lncomprehensible.

The total estimate Of the value Of
the national wealth in 1904 was $l07,-
104, 1872, ,4l0, according to special re-
port issued by the census bureau on
wealth, debt and taxation, which
represents an increase in the four
year period from 1900 to 1904 of $751;
$50, 1856 ,635.
This advance in national wealth has
no parallel in the history of the
United States except the decade from
1850 to 1860. In 1850 when the first
estimates of the national wealth were
made the figures were only 81, 135, $780,
22S.- The most potent cause for the
Increase in the nations wealth from
1900 to 1904, it Is stated, was the
reaction from the low prices of the
period of depression from 1898 to 1896.
The annual increase of wealth per
family from 1890 to 1904 was 1882.
The various forms into which the
nations wealth is divided, with their
valuations is as follows:

terest rates here bankers negotiated
finance bills through the foreign eX-
change market and placed the pro-
ceeds in loans in New York
Through ard beyond these immedi-
ate contingencies calculation is not
idle over the further outcome and the
probable period for the completion of
the preparation and the revival. The
present level of prices of securities
and the rate of return offered to in
vestment is an index Of the extensive
peration. M. Paul Leroy Beulieu, the
distinguished French economist, has
registered his opinion that opportunity
for an advantageous return on capital
is now offered for the first time in
over twenty years past. A recent ar
ticle in the London Statist reviews the
tendency of exports of British capital,
which had fallen to a low ebb follow
ing the exhaustion of resources due to
expenditures in the Boer war The
conclusion is that ''in the current year
Fiscal year 1900 we shall probably
place abroad as much capital as we
have ever invested in single year
as much, indeed, as we did in the later
eighties" This authority estimates
that the amount of British capital re-
mitted abroad in the twelve months
ending June 80 amounted to $780,
100000, the portion allotted to Amer
lean railways amounting to $66, 000,-
900. The Statist asserts that "all the
conditions are favorable to the con-
tinuance Of these large exports of

NOTES.
The High Money Rates--Opinions of
Wall Street

Rates for money the world over are
from one half to one per cent higher
than they were a year ago and cor
pcration, individual and banking liza
bilities are from 10 to 25 per cent
greater than they were then.
Surplus bank resources are down to a
low figure.
II business alackens money rates
will grow easier.
Smaller crops than those of year
ago are indicated. This means a les
sened demand OH capital
Opinions on the market by many
houses follow:
Henry Clews Co.: In the absence of
unfavorable developments prices may
show occasional rallies, but the gem
eral drift of prices promises to be
downward until the readjustment in the
money market and In the community
markets has gone far enough to war
rant recovery. The pendulum has
started to swing in the opposite direc-
ton, and the swing has evidently not
yet been arrested.
Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington: Las
situde and dulness are two prime re-
quisites for this market if we want
t. be on a good foundation in the fall.
Roody, Mcclellan & Co, say: Spec
ulative securities for some time longer
are likely to suffer, but meantime the
accumulation of funds seeking invest
ment win lift the prices Of our first
class investments above the current
level We believ for instance that
such securities as the Atchlson Con-
vertible SIS will in time advance con-
siderably above par. This might oc-
cur though Atchison Common Stock
should reeede materially from the pres
ent price. Our advice is from now on,
to buy securities that have a certain
and sure investment value; and it Is
well to remember that in any import
ant upward movement in prices, the
first advance always occurs in this
class Of Stocks and Bonds. The mar
ket at present is simply waiting one;
many good stocks are too low to sell
and yet there are few fresh buyers.
Those securities which are of an en-
tirely speculative nature are likely to
continue to suffer, in view of a reac-
ton of business activity and, conse-
quently, smaller earnings that will
then follow.
]. S. Bache & Co. say: Careful con-
sideration Of these conditions make 1t
seem unwise to put much faith on
rises in the stock market which re-
quire large funds to finance them.

Remarkable Relation Between Regions
Widely Separated.

on the abundance or scarcity of the
summer rains, which accompany the
monsoon. The monsoon is a south
westerly wind that brings in from the
cauldron of the Indian Ocean incalcu-
liable volumes of vapor to be precipi-
tated inland, and without this rain
agriculture is practically useless
Blanford, who first undertook the in
vestigation, thought that he had dts
covered useful indications in the win
ter snowfall in the mountains to the
north and west of India. Ii an unus-
ual amount OF snow remained there as
late as May, the June rainfall further
south would occasionally be light.
What this expert hoped would turn
out to be a general rule, however, did
not work perfectly. His successor III
office, Eliot, became satisfied in 1896
that it was necessary to study the sit
uation over a much wider area than
was included in Blanford's program.
Some reliance, we believe, lis ill
placed on the snowfall, but it is not
now regarded as a thoroughly trust
worthy guide.
One other sign which gives promise
of proving valuable was found on ex-
tending the study to other parts OF
the world. Excuses or DEFICIENCIES in
rainfall and air pressure over the In
dian Ocean south of the equator, in
Siberia, at the headwaters of the Nile,
and even in South America appear to
accompany certain marked phenom-
ena in India, and sometimes precede
those in the last-named region. 1t
begins to look, for instance, as il en-
unusually high atmospheric pressure
in the Argentine Republic in spring
was pretty sure to be followed by ex-
cessive rainfall in India during the
following summer, and that an unduly
low mean pressure in South America
would indicate a scanty rainfall on the
other side of the globe and IN the
northern hemisphere. Such coinci-
dences, if observed only few times,
should be interpreted cautiously, for
they might turn out 10 be purely acct
dental. If, on the other hand, obserVa-
tons extending over a period of TWEEN
ty years or more showed that they
were frequent, they might then be
trusted.
It is by no means certain that the
same rules which hold good for india
would be useful elsewhere, but success.
in one quarter may reveal the prin-
ciples on which successful work in an
other might be performed.-New York
