The Milis Indnntry.

The milk producers of Northern Illi' nois have decided to resurrect a dor mant industry in their fight against the milk trust. They are considering plants to re-estabiish their own creameries which were sold to the Bor- dep Company ten or h!teeL years ago. These will act as an outlet for -heir product if the association does not sue cee, i! establishing it's own 6istribut- inc depot in Chicago. which is looked upor as more than possibility Eff teen years ago the Northern Illinois section was dotted with creameries established by the farmers, many of them being run on the cooperative plan. This was when :he Borden Company was beginning to branch out Offers of purchase were made to ia cilitate trading with the farmers and they agreed with most disastrous re- gricultnral :pitomist.

FINDING A COUNTRY HOME.

Some of the Mistakes Which Must
 Be Guarded Against by Novice.
 It is easy to prove that an income of s1,0O0 in the country is worth S2,000 in the city, and that the difference is saved in the cost of living and in the fact that the home helps to support itself. On the other hand, there are vexations, disadvantages and even hardships incident to rural life, and they cannot fairly be passed by, says Ralph D. Paine in Golfers. Money is bound to be wasted in experiments, in bungling methods, and in learning how to do things right. The utmost vigilance is required to avoid spend ing what is saved on the one hand by going ahead too fast with improve ments on the other. A dozen temp tations to put more money into the place lie in ambush at every turn. Economy is fully as difficult as in the city. Isolation, lack of congenial so- ciety, and maddening inability to find efficient servants-in fact, any kind at all-are insistent factors of the problem. The initial outlay Is likely to be no more than half the ultimate cost Tools and equipment pile up bills to dismay the novice. Labor Is lazy and untrustworthy. If there are children, and there ought to be chil- dren in every country home, their ed ucation must be considered.
 It still remains true, however, that to find and own and improve ones own farm, however small and humble, is an achievement worth fighting for, whether it be for an all-the-year-home or not And few there be who have won this fight that would willingly rs- turn to the flat in the city or the hired house in the suburbs with it's fifty-foot

VALUE OF SOCIAL QUALITIES
Every Mother Should See That Her

Every Mother Should See That Her
 Daughter Possesses Them.
 Thank goodness we are getting away from the idea that to be frivolous is wicked and nowadays up-to=date pa rents insist that their children shall face life with laugh rather than a serious face and that they shall have accomplishments as. well as virtues
 This question of accomplishments is very important one in a world which is selfish and exacting and doesn't want to give without receiving in re turn, the Duluth News-Tribune says.
 Who has not seen the wallhower girl, who, when others were enter taining the company, replied solemnly: ''I have no parlor tricks" which trite saying yelled very thinly the fact that she was secretly envious of the cleverness of the others and wished she could unlimber and do something herself
 Now, whose fault is 1.-the girls? No, indeed-her mother
 No doubt that estimable maternal relative was of the sort who believe it their duty to see that the child tells the truth, is neat, punctual and obedient. No frills was her motto, but a thorough drilling in the three Rs, and, as she often observed to her lit tie girl, handsome is as handsome does"
 Well, that may have often been the case in her day, but just now we are thinking of a great deal of the veneer, it would seem.
 It is very easy for a clever mother to cultivate social talents in her chil- dren. Most little ones show a lean ing in some direction, and it is mat ter of patience and tact to cultivate this. The main thing is to free the child from the dreaded curse of self consciousness, which prevents so many women fro mmaking a success. no mat ter how gifted the yare.
 Encourage the children to give lit which each one does his part
 Never laugh at mistakes, but enter into the spirit of the children them selves Home concerts are splendid things. wit hmother playing the piano and every one, eve nthe tiniest tot joining in the singing.
 Make the boys and girls feel they have no right to hide their gifts, but should give them unselfishly toward the entertainment of their relatives and friends. In this way you will bring to them the true spirit of social life, which is an even mixture of give and take.

An Unnece.sary Adjunct.

Many of us have heard of the wom an traveller who, while riding through the Yosemite, exclaimed, "Oh, I do love scenery. it adds sol" M. c. NJ. Simpson, in Many Memories of Many People" instances an opposite case where the scenery was considered not only unneeded, but rather obtrusive. In speaking of Sir George Cornewall Lewis, the famous English statesman, the writer says:
 Although greatly beloved, he had 8 very cold manner. He was a marked contrast to his enthusiastic wife, Lady Theresa, who once complained that a tree overshadowed a window of the drawing room of their country house, and interfered with the view. Said Lewis calmly and rather contemptu- ously:
 Why can't you, when you come into the country, sit with your back to the window and read a book?"

 We were crossing one of the Swiss passes by diligence, or coach, and town.

I suppose, too, that the brand of French in which I tried to ask ques- tions was pretty ragged
 Anyway. group of young French men waiting in a carriage while their team was changed saw in me their long lost original scream, and the way they laughed was convincing, if not hattering. They weren't backward about pointing out the real, racy bits in the picture either, and they only laughed harder when I glared at them mildly. Another American and I trudged off for lunch, and when we came back there was a bunch ready to take up the howl at me again. looked at my compatriot and he at me. I don't think either of us put the idea in words, but we began.
 We began to laugh. We fell into each others arms and laughed. We held each other up and laughed We laughed till the tears rolled down our cheeks. We laughed till we. couldn't stand We rolled into our coach, still taking inspiration for each outburst from a glance at the French men.

The Simplex system of driving con
 crete piles, which the British ad
 miralty is trying at Rosyth, is the in
 vention of an American, F. Shuman
 A steel tube, having a loose point or a
 pair of hinged jaws at the lower end
 is first driven to the required depth
 Then, as the tube is withdrawn. con
 crete is introduced, and this passes
 through the now opened lower end
 and fills up the hole made by the tube
 The concrete is filled up to a level
 several feet above the finished head oi
 the pile, in order to alloC for sink
 ing as the tube is withdrawn. The
 plan has been successfully tried in
 many places.
 In an English review of the progress
 in aeronautics during 1909 the first place in the list of unsolved problems
 is given to that of obtaining a certain degree of automatic stability at slow speeds. It is recognized that the high
 velocity of flight required to enable the aeroplane simply to keep afioat must be lowered before the machines can become truly useful and safe. An other question is that of the engine In order to make this certain in op- eration, it is suggested that the weight must be still further reduced, so as to permit either of duplication of parts, or of the employment of two complete engines, each under normal condi- tions working at only fraction of its full power.
 A remarkable photograph of half dozen porpoises, playing under water, just ahead of the bow of steamship travelling at the rate of 13 knots an hour, has been published by a cor respondent of Knowledge, C H. Gale. The sea was calm and the photograph was made by leaning over the bow of the vessel. MT. Gale calls attention to the singular fact that the porpoises, while easily maintaining their position ahead of the ship, showed no apparent effort or motion of body, tail or fin. Yet he thinks that they were not car ried along by movement of the water in front of the vessel, because air. bubbles were seen rushing from their backs, and the photograph shows the effect of these bubbles by the white ! streaks on the backs of the animals | they rolled over sidewise. | but always maintained their position. |
 In a recent book about ants, Rev. | H. c. McCook gives some surprising facts about the mound-making ants of the Alleghenies. He has measured ! some mounds more than 30 feet in cir although rarely more ban three feet in height. But around these there are many new mounds, In course of construction, only a few inches in height. They are found in one of which, near Holidays burg, Pa, contains 1,70O mounds with In a space of 50 acres. Their total population is enormous, and each group of mounds appears to consti- ute a community-an insect kingdom )r empire. In regard to their num- 1ers, Doctor Fcrel is quoted as saying hat these ant kingdoms have in all from 2OO.OOO.0OO to 4OO,- 100000 inhabitants, ''all forming a jingle community, and living together n active and friendly intercourse"

weight telling in favor of the visitors
The fast Brunonian backs gained ground

occasional forward pass. Save when kicked
by Stpp, the giant Colgate fullback, the
ball did not approach within striking dis
