DOZENS OF GRAIN THIEVES.

A notion which has long seemed to
prevail in some sections of the city that
property in bo1car belongs TO no one
in particular and may be appropriated
with impunity is being rudely shaken

grand roundup of grain thieves by the
city police aided by the G. q NV. Sc
cret service men. A number of them
are serving terms in the county jail
and one is at the pententiary, ore
satisfying feature is the capture of an
alleged professional fence" or receiver
of stolen goods who is said to have en-
couraged the boys in their deprada'
tions. Our city is too small for Fagans.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF CALCULATIONS OF
DIVIDENDS.
In order to illustrate the details of
calculating dividends, or the amount to
be paid to each patron for the milk sup
piled each month, when payments are
made by each of the four systems given,
it will be assumed that creamery re-
ceives 5, 600 pounds of milk daily for
thirty days, and makes 6, $50 pounds of
butter from the $50, 600 pounds of milk
received during this time. The average
test of this milk may be found by multi
plying the total weight of milk deliver.
ed by each patron by his average test,
and dividing the SUN of these products
by the total weight of milk received at
the creamery ip the example given, by
l50 600 lbs, the quotient being multi
piled by 100 Such calculations may
show that 300 pounds of butter fat
have been received in all the milk de-
livered by the different patrons; this
multiplied by 100 and divided by 150, 600
gives 3S as the average test, or the aver
age amount of butter fat in each 100 lbs.
of milk received during the month.
So far the method of calculations is
common for all different systems of pay,
ment given above; the manner of proce-
dure now differs according to the agree.
ment made between owner and patrons
or among the shareholders, in case of
cooperative creameries.
FIRST. If the net returns for $3.50
pounds of butter sold during the month
were Sl191, and the creamery is to re-
ceive cents per pound of butter
as the cost of manufacture, ETC., the
amount due the creamery is &, 6jOx o.
1896, and the patrons would receive
$1197- S266=S93l This sum, S931, is to
be paid to the patrons for g. 700 lbs. of
butter fat, which, as shown above, was
the weight OF fat contained in the 800.
900 pounds of milk delivered during the
month. The price of one pound Of but
ter fat is then easily found; S93l 570O=
l6t cents. This price is paid to all pa
irons for each pound of butter fat de-
livered in their milk during the month
The monthly milk record of three pa
irons may be given in the following
