A FEW FIGURES.

The salary asked by buttermaker
Is often magnified out of all proportion
by shortsighted directors and his po-
tentiality as money maker for the
plant as often ignored or overlooked.
While there is no buttermaker who
can produce an extra quality of butter
from poor batch of cream, the quail
ty Of the product depends, notwith-
standing, largely upon the way the
cream is handled after it comes into
the makers hands. If the output of a
creamery is 100000 pounds a year, a
difference of half a cent in the sale
price of the product means $1,000 for
the year and margin of a cent $4,000,
while if the price falls 2 cents below
what it might have been with proper
handling the loss to the concern is
$4,000 in the course of twelve months
There is food for thought in the above
figures that the directors Of many a
creamery company might ponder with
profit.

NO. 446O EQUITY.
In the Circuit Court for Carroll county,
in Equity.
Minnie G.. Harris VS.. Oscar w. Harris
The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a decree for a divorce vinculc
matrimonii of the plaintiff, Minnie
G. Harris, from the defendant, Oscar
w. Harris, and the awarding of the
guardianship and custody of their
child, Earl M. Harris, to the said
plaintiff, Minnie G.. Harris.
The Bill states that the said Minnie
g. Harris was married to the defend
ant, Oscar w. Harris, in Carroll coun-
ty, in the State of Maryland, on the
10th day of March, 1901, by the Rev
erend Samuel A Kipe, a minister OF
the gospel, and that he resided with
her in said Carroll county for about
eleven months after their said mar
riage.
That, although the conduct of your
Oratrix towards her said husband
was always kind, affectionate and
above reproach, the said Oscar w.
Harris, without any just cause or rea-
son. did, in or about the month OF
February, 1902, abandon and desert
her, and has ever since refused and
still refuses to live with her, and that
such abandonment has continued un-
interrupted1y for, at least, three years,
and is deliberate and final, and the
separation of the parties beyond any
reasonable expectation of reconcll1a-
ton.
That one child was born to your
Oratrix and the said defendant, Oscar
w. Harris, from said marriage, and
is now living with the plaintiff in
Carroll county, in the State of Mary
land, and is about Seven years OF age.
Said child being boy, and named
Earl M. Harris.
That the said defendant, Oscar W..
Harris, is nonresident OF the state
Of Maryland, and now resides in York,
York county, in the State of Penn
sylvania.
It is thereupon, this 8th day of
February, A. D. 1909, ordered by the
Circuit Court for Carroll County, in
Equity, that the plaintiff, by causing
q copy Of this order to be inserted in
some newspaper published in said Car
roll county, in the State of Maryland,
in each of four successive weeks be-
fore the 10th day of April, 1909, give
notice to the said absent nonresident
defendant of the object and substance
of this Bill, warning him to appear
in this Court, in person or by solicitor
on or before the third day of May
next, to show cause, if any he has,
WHY a decree ought not to be passed
as prayed.

CAUGHT IN THE WINDUP.

"A fellow we heard of the other day
justifed the careless and even filthy
handling of the cream which ne
brought to the cooperative concern IN
which he was interested by saying
that he got just as much per inch for
his dirty product as other patrons did
for that which was clean and did not
waste as much time fussing as they
On the surface of things his statement
was correct, as the average creamery
does not pay its patrons on the basis
of quality but quantity Of butter rat
only. However, at the next stage OF
the game a different state Of afa1rs
prevails. When the butter from this
creamery is shipped to any city Wh1ch
pretends to be a butter market the
product is not only weighed but tested
by a butter expert, who can spot but
ter made from tainted cream just as
quick as said filthy farmer could rot
ten egg in breakfast omelet. Such
q consignment Of butter-at least all
that made from given vat Of cream
would be tainted with one bad mess
of cream, and as a result the price
would be docked several cents per
pound. The upshot is that when the
check for such a consignment is sent
back to the creamery manager it is
dollars less than it ought to be, the
filthy patron and every other decent
patron of the concern sharing alike in
the loss. The only way out Of this
situation is for the buttermaker to
keep a close eye and a still closer nose
on the product of the dirty patron and
refuse it when it is not above reproach.

The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should 1t
not cure you?

FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs A. G. Tuson, of Livermore, Cal,
writes: 81 picked up from my door
step one day little book in which
soon became very much interested.
My little girl of five years Of age had
been troubled for long time with
loss of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run
down and in very delicate condition.
tHThis little book was very compre-
hensively written, and told of the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele-
ments of the Gods liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which is
SO hard for children to take.
".Just the thing said I, for my little
daughter and Immediately went for
bottle of Vinol. It helped her won
derfully. She has gained rapidly in
flesh and strength, and she does not
take cold half so easily.
81 am extremely grateful for the
good 1t has done her, and hope other
mothers who have weak, delicate or

experience and just give vinol trial"

Tibetan Trade in Musk.

A number of Tibetan traders who

icles, large quantity of musk, which
is held in high esteem by the highcaste
Indians. The little deer from which
the musk is obtained ranges in the

deer yields the finest and greatest

have the mountain and Pacific coast

their marvellous resources, and con-

exposition will give great prominence

through both national and state eXhib-

of live stock. poultry and crops, with
a model farm and model irrigation
tract. Another feature which will add
great value to the exposition is that it's
location is in one of the most interest
ing grain and fruit growing sections in
the world. The enterprise is one that
is worthy of the largest measure of
support, while the advantages it offers
to become acquainted at close range
