Liable o be Another Disappointment

Some of the st. Paul trust company
officials and contractors interested in
the proposed road between Wilton and
Ontario were on the ground looking into
the proposition and it is said that those
most desirous oS seeing the road put
through are somewhat downcsst over
the result. They say that the trust
company now wants $4,000 more than
the original demand and that this fact
has rather shaken the confidence which
the promoters had imposed in its repre-
sentatives Some people, although
they would be overioyed to hear a
whistle tOOt on the new road. seems to
realize that the boomer has struck a
hard grade and that il may not be pos
sible to get up the required amount Of
steam to make it. Norwalk Star.

UNPLEASANTNEssEs OF THE BUSINESS

To THE CENSOR: ! have been in the
creamery business for the past thirteen
seasons snd each year, from February
until May, | have always noticed dis
satisfaction among a great number of
patrons in every creamery ! have been
in as to the test being low during these
months. There are many causes for
low tests fresh mich cows. changes of
men in turning separator, ard separa-
tors getting out OF good running order
One fresh COW with low testing milk
will produce as much milk as several
shippers and the speed of the separa-
tor should be- kept M 10 full number Of
turns as called for to create centra-
fugal force to separate the cream from
the milk; il turned at too low speed
the cream is lost in the milk and milk is
left in the cream; results. a low test
ana loss 10 the owner If the patron
would know Just VIII t the average test
was from their whole herd and by
weighing both milk and cream hey
would at all times know just about what
their cream test should be AS note
the following: One hundred pounds
milk testing pr cent fat equals
pounds of butterfat. after separating
if you have 20 pounds cream then you
would have as much as 20 is contained
in 100 or 5, the mix testing per cent
would equal times or 20 per cent
cream test. Try this often and | am
certain you will find where the fs0lt
lays. Don't call your creameryman
crooked until you can proove him so.
We are oftimes blamed for things we
haven't under our control; we must
please the produces and the consumer
at all times and viii admit it keeps US
guessing most OF the time TO satisfy
both parties A creamery, to be sue
cessful one, must have satisfied patrons
so as to encourage them to produce and
deliver good cream to be made into
butter which always sells for the high
est price and which must bring back
good returns to the produces for their
lahors.
Yours for more friendly feeling be-
tween the patrons and creamery men.

has restored sight to a 7-year-old
boy and has cured him of a ner-
vous ailment akin to madness.
The operation involved the re-
moYal of a tumor beneath the
skull that had paralyzed the optic
nerve. To do this 1t was neces-
sary to cut away three square
inches OF the boys skull and then
make an incision between the two
brain hemispheres and Just above
the superior longitudinal sinus, a
large vein. The variation of a
one-hundredth part of an inch in
the course of the knife would have
meant instant death for the child.
The boy, John J. Galick, son of
a Sampson, Pa, farmer, became
restless and morose four years
ago and then had fits of violence
in which he would attack those
near him. He began to see double
and then became blind. n
