A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only a parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro
ject them into the mail order field, and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred to, already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One of them expended not
less than 81, O00. 900, and PR badly more,
for a new home. The other lately has
secured a new location and also will
expend at least S1,00000O for an i'm
mense new building.
Anyone who will reflect even casual
ly on the subject must become i'm
pressed that the influence OF the mail
order business is toward The central

DAIRY NOTES.

Not all COW keepers deserve the
title dairyman.
The milking shorthorn was not
much in evidence at the large fairs
this fall.
After the milk is once contaminated
no amount of "doctoring' will restore
it to its pristine purity.
In Cuba the COWS are driven from
house to house and the desired quanti-
ty of milk is drawn in the presence Of
the purchaser.
Pure, wholesome milk is a food rel
ished alike by infants, invalids, and
strong men. The impurity of the
product is what men most object to
Many farmers living close to cites
large or small, could develop a profit
able business in supplying fresh milk
to the townspeople. Try it and be
convinced.
A cooperative creamery run on
large scale is a money maker for its
patrons. Dairymen should pay more
attention to the principles of co-opera-
ton. Cooperative creameries and
cheese factories are excellent indica'
lions of the superior intelligence Of
the communities in which they are
found.
We are glad we do not live in a city
and be compelled to take chalk and
water as a substitute for real milk

When Governor Russell Was Puzzled.
The late Governor Russell was max.
ing speech on the tariff in the city
hall in Lawrence during one of his
campaigns. and took occasion several
times to refer to the duty on boiler
iron. The Governor was considerably
mystified to note that whenever he
USED the term there was deafening
applause.
1t was afterward explained to his
excellency that considerable portion
of his audience cared very little about
the duty on boiler iron, but cherished
undying admiration for the late John
Boyle O'Reilly to whom they thought
he was referring. Hence the APP
