Cost Of Building . Creamery.

During the past few years there
have been built IN the United States
several thousand creameries, many Of
which have been successful from the
start, while others have failed after
. few months operation, and some
were never even started.
z An investigation of the creamery
business in Several states by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has shown that the cause of many
OF the failures was due to lack OF a
SUFFICIENT number of cows, which
should not be less than 400, and that
others failed because Of improper or
ganization, In the case Of cooperative
creameries, and excessive cost of build.
ing and equipment Many creameries
have cost about twice their actual
worth, and were not Of the type suit
cd to the locality in which they were
built.
The cost of building about 28x4S
feet will vary from $500 to $1,400, de!
pendent upon the locality, the con-
0truction, and the cost Of material and
.1abor. Such building usually con-
sists Of a main work room, engine
and boiler room (including space for
refrigerator Fmachine), coal room, re-
frigerator, storeroom and office.
Machinery for hand-separator plant,

a0-horsepower engine, combination
churn with capacity of 500 pounds
OF butter, and other necessary appara-
tus, will cost approximately $1,000.
Machinery for whole milk plant will
cost about 1880 This equipment
will handle from 1000 to 1900 pounds
Of butter per day. II refrigerating
machine is included the cost will be
from 5000 to $1,000 more.
The total cost of a creamery would
therefore vary from $4,000 for sim
pie hand-separator plant without arti-
ncial refrigeration, where labor and
material are cheap. to $4,250 for a
whole milk plant including artificial
refrigeration and a higher cost of labor
and material.
The department Of agriculture is
prepared to furnish information for
the proper organization of creameries
and cheese factories. and upon request
will supply plan of organization. list

S. Hills. address to the people Of
the Fourth Congressional District,
in which he denounces a So
called anonymous pamphlet" that
is being circulated as he says,
with reference to his vote on
what he terms the mileage BILL" but
which was termed BY the press Of the
United States as the mileage grab.
the mileage steal and such other titles
as intended to convey the, unEairness
Of the action Of the 58th Congress in
the matter.
The pamphlet only contains the edi-

TO the action Of congress on the mileage
proposition which was up. before the
18th congress. TO gether with an ex-
pIanation calling the peoples attention
to the circumstances in the case. In
order to give full and completethisto-
ry Of this pamphlet it is necessary that
we discuss what this action OF the 50th
congress really was.
There was special session of the
58th congress which merged into the
regular session of the same congress,
using the language Of the Hon. Tom
Watson there was absolutely no
necessity at all-not a single minute
between the one session and the eth
er." Now the point of contention is,
were the memb bers OF congress enti-
tied to mileage when in fact they never
left their seats? | note from the Con-
gressional Record of that date that SO
distinguished gentlemen Of that august
body voted for mileage, and 80 were
recorded against it, which Of course
gave it passage through the lower
house.

brought under better control. In case
Of the last two it is interesting to
note the tendency in recent years to-
ward the use of the preventive measure
of vaccination. The state of Pennsyl.
vania has made liberal appropriations
for some years for the study of tuber-
culosis in cattle and this study has
been to produce and test the effects
of vaccine.
While of course a complete demon
stration has not yet been made the
vaccine. has shown that it is effective
in making cattle immune under the
most unfavorable conditions. The
bureau of animal industry has re-
Gently proceeded on the same pri1qh h
with hog cholera with every prtA
of success. The tests made thus far
indicate very slight losses with the use
of vaccine on large numbers. Com
plete success here, however, is not
claimed as yet Possibly the problem
of abortion in cattle, which has caused
such serious losses, may yet be solved
by the application of the same principle.

Of our domestic animals, and 1t is to
the credit of the veterinarians Of the
world that they have been so patient,

The History Of the So Called
Anonymous Pamphlet That's Raising
So Much Dust On the Hay HighnGy

tai how can the distinguished congress-
man contend that Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Watson legal opinion is not entitled
to as much weight as their opinion on
public questions would be, when the
language in the statute IS so plain. We
submit that Mr.. Bry an is right and Mr..
Hill is wrong, and in meeting the
charge brought against him by Mr..
Watson and Mr.. Bryan in order to
justify his vote he criticises their abili-
" as lawyers.
Mr.. Hill is surely not in earnest
in this matter Of his criticism OF these
two distinguished lawyers, OF course
we understand he is seeking an ave-
nue. Of escape and Justification. Ac-
cordins to his argument he was the on
" lawyer from Mississippi in congress
at that time whose legal opinion was
entitled to much weight, because the
following distinguished gentlemen who
are all profound lawyers we're in con-
gress at that time, and not single one
of them is recorded as voting for
what is known as the mileage grab,
to-wit:
The Hon. Eaton Bowers. Judge
Adam Byrd, Hon. E. S. Byrd, Hon. E.
S. Chandler. Hon. B. G. Humphreys,
Hon. Frank Mclean, Hon. Thos,
Spieht and Hon. John Sharp Williams.
There is nothing hidden, indecent
or unfair about the pamphlet; because
to state the facts about this mileage
vote so that the people might know
what their congressman has done is
neither unfair or indecent and and GER
tainIy violates no propriety in conduct
ing campaign. And the printer and
publisher of that portion OF the pamph-
let except the explanation which states
the facts are we'll known to the people
of this district, Tom Watsons Maga-
zine and W. }. Bryans Commoner.
And Mr.. Hill in his article admits
that he cast the vote which is SO over-
whelminsIy condemned throughout the
whole country. Far be it from me to
criticise Mr.. Hill personally. have
made no charge against him except
that, which is legitimate. for his record

will not be denied and leave It as q
question for the honest Democrats
Of the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict to determine the issue raised BY
this pamphlet. This pamphlet only sta
tes the facts as shown by the Conres-
sional Record. There surely can be
no harm in giving the people the facts
which they are entitled to have before
casting their votes in this race tor
congress. Mr.. Hill is asking the
Democrats Of this district to endorse
his course in congress, and this is
part Of his record, and the people are
entitled to know his record, and this
pamphlet was issued for that purpose
an that purpose alone.
We have ref aimed from making
any comment on this vote. preterring
to quote Hon. Tom Watson. noted
ex.congressman, and Hon. W. j.
Bryan, the Democratic nominee, tor
president-the great standard bearer
Of Democracy-had to say about the
! 80, among whom happened to be the
Hon. w. S. Hill, because what
might say about the vote might be
construed in the light Of an interested
witness. But Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
/ Watson are not interested Witnesses,
and their strong and forceful language
will have greater weight than any
comment which might make. And
for this reason the little pamphlet only
stated the facts to the voters, and then
copied the comments Of these two dis
tinquished gentlemen.

The girl who intends to have some
thing stylish and out of the ordinary
will make the skirt of her tub frock
from white linen and the coat from
pink or blue, and braid each in self
colors. Carrying out the same idea in
wooden materials the coat will be OF
q darker shade than the skirt, even
though the colors be the same.
Before the material is stamped the
coat should be finished with the ex-
ception of lining and facing, and the
skirt completely finished. By so do
ing the design can be arranged in ex-
actly the position desired and the eff
feet will be much more satisfactory
than if first braided and then
made up.
The cuffs and collar of the coat are
braided before attached. If the gar
ment is of tub material, it should be
laundered before worn.
To iron it, have well-padded board
and lay the skirt right side down.
