GRADING OF CREAM
BY g. A. Joraensen.

There is. at present more or less
grading Of cream taking place In our
creameries, but two creameries scarce
~ ever grade alike. There are even
creameries that do not grade alike for
All their patrons and some that grade
for part OF their patrons only. These
widely different methods Of grading
are not recommendable and especially
IN places where there is a great deal
OF changing around of patrons For II
man takes his cream to one cream
cry for awhile and gets 1t graded and
then takes Il to another and gets Il
graded differently there. Il will In
many instances tend to have the pa
tron lose faith in the grading. He
comes TO the conclusion it is a swim
ding deal since they don't grade alike
Just one more way of robblng him
Therefore, IL the creamery men could
work in harmony, then they could
adopt some common method and allow
a large enough discrimination 90 II

not large enough. and II may be justly
said that the undue competition is the

cause of the present abuse OF the Bah.
cock test which can be found In every
day practice in many OF our cream
cries. Where competition is sharp
some OF the tests are under-read in
order to give some a higher test than
they are entitled to. This is the cause
OF much OF the dissatisfaction among
so many of the creamery patrons. II
is unjust and II tends to make them
slack and produce an inferior grade Of
cream. Therefore. It ought to be

He is an expert on the piano. He
showed his ability to produce all kinds
of effects from smootheSt pianissimo to

the staccato measures and abrupt
pauses were admirably executed.
Some of his pieces were improv-

BADLY BURNED
BY GASOLINE

Mrs. G. A. Burnham was seriously
burned about the face and neck Fri
day by an explosion of gasoline. It
seems that while doing the regular
washing, some gasoline was thrown
into the boiler. The water was very
hot and the clothes were thrown in
Immediately after the gasoline. The
confinement of the gas and the great
heat caused the explosion. Mrs.Burn-
ham was near enough to get the force
of the blast in her face. Her hair
caught fire, but by presence of mind
she smothered that with her hands.
Another woman, who was also near,
was not burned.
Medical attendance took care of the
wounds and no permanent trouble is
expected.

AFTER DAMAGES
FOR ACCIDENT
WILLIAM FITZGERALD FALLS BE.
MEATH HORSE FROM BRIDGE
IN SUMPTER.
STRUCTURE WAS NOT GUARDED
Road Was Abandoned Several Year Ago
But was not closed Because of
Objections.
CFrOm Fridays DaNy.)

An abandoned road and a neglected
bridge caused a bad accident in Sump.
ter town few days ago.
William Fitzgerald, the IA year old
son of Michael Fitzgerald was riding
horseback across the bridge near John
Fitzsimmons' place, on the line be-
tween Sumpter and Merrimack towns.
The bridge was not provided with a
complete guard and the horse
swinging around is said to have back
ed off. The boy was unable to eXtricate
himself and the whole weight of the
horse landed on his left leg causing a
compound fracture.
The boys father, Michael Fitzgerald,
was in Baraboo today consulting attor-
neys with view of collecting damages
from the town.
About eight years ago road was
built running west from the regular
road, which is north and south, to
meet the other north and south road.
1t is said the intentions were to close
the road thus rendered unnecessary for
the travelling public. The object pri-
marily in building the new road was to
cut off the hills which were unpleasant
To the proposition of closing
the old road, however, John Fitzsim-
mons objected since he lives on that
road.
Since then the road has been left in
the same condition and the improve.
ments have been made on the new
road.
