The Strawberry Point Creamery as
ISOLATION was organized and began
business in the spring of 1892. Stock
was sold to the farmers at the rate
of two dollars share and each stock
holder was required to take out as
many shares as he had cows. Each
stockholder is required to sell his
milk to the creamery or have his
stock cancelled All of the milk is
required to put his milk on some
route designated by the board of d.
rectors, and all are required to pay
the same price per hundred for haul
ing, so that the patron living farthest
from the creamery does not pay any
more for his hauling than does the
man next door to the creamery.
The officers of the association con-
sist of president, secretary and
board of six directors. These officers
meet once a month and have charge
of all the business of the association
such as the selling of butter, buying
supplies, and the hiring of the help
Their first building was large
frame structure. Although it was
built as well as frame building
could be built it could not stand the
excessive amount OF moisture always
found in creamery, SO that two years
ago it was replaced by modern
brick and concrete building costing
over $4,000.
The new building is located on a
sidetrack and is built of pressed brick
1t is 80 feet wide and 157 feet long
and contains under one roof the ice
house and refrigerator. the main work
room, the boiler and engine room, the
coal room and the store room.

have always believed in making q

The outward form and appearance
of the offspring is largely dependent
upon the sire. Hence the necessity
of selecting boars of the fat hog
type. He should be long and wide
in the back and loin, should have a
good spread of rib and be straight in
his limbs. A tendency to sag in the
top line is counted against quite seri-
ously, especially in young hog. He
should be long and deep in the ham
and broad when viewed from behind.
The boar should stand straight on his
feet, any tendency to walk on his
pasterns or stand crooked on the legs
being serious default, as it binders
his service and is apt to be carried on
to the offspring. Above all else the
boar should have vigorous constitu-
ton, head up, style and carriage.
Watch out for these moping, sluggish
kinds of boars, these kind that seem
to be without any life and vigor. On
the other hand beware of a ranter,
one of these brutes that is always
tearing around, grunting and hunting
for trouble. The boar that gives the
best satisfaction is one that comes to
his feed readily, eats heartily and
then lies down. satisfied and con-
tented.
The age of the boar is of impor-
lance. An under year boar should
not be expected to serve over eight
or ten sows. More than this is hard
drain on the fellow himself and the
results in the way of offspring are
not altogether satisfactory A mis-
take commonly made is that of wait
ing until the last thing to buy the
boar. then expecting him to do his
best after several days excitement
and worry as the result of hard trip
and new surroundings. He should
be brought to his new home several
weeks before breeding time, well
sheltered and carefully fed. Avoid
heavy feeding.

the rainfall ranged from nothing in
some of the south western counties to

were heavy over the central and nor

ern section on the 10Th. The drought
has been effectually broken over & of
the state and the general Conditions
have been decidedly more favorable
for all unharvested crops, pasturage
and aftermath in meadows. The
rains will check further deterioration
of vegetation and will be of material
benefit in developing the late corn
except in some localities in the south
western counties where the drought
still continues. The rains, however,
csme too late to be of much benefit to
early corn, which is, i'll many sections

GROUNDS IS TO Be
STARTED AT ONCE
Carnegie Fund for Pan
American Union Imme-
diately Available.

An installment Of s25,00o, which will
be followed later by an additional $4,000,
to be used in beautifying the grounds
of the Pan-American Union building.
Seventeenth street and Potomac Park,
has been received from Andrew Car
negie.
The first installment came as re-
suit OF a promise made by the steel
king when in Washington last Feb
ruary. The improvements will be start
ed Immediately.
A marble coping around the entire
building is to be constructed, and mar
BILE steps will be erected throughout
the grounds wherever needed. The en-
tire parking will pe done in Spanish
architecture, and will harmonize with
the building proper. Bids for the con-
struction already nave been called for.
The ground was purchased from the
George Washington University for
81 5OO,O 200, and $75O,OO0 was donated by
Andrew Carnegie for the erection OF
the building. After the plans were
drawn 1t was found that the parkinGs
and coping would bring the cost Of the
building up to s1,100,OOO, and as there
was only 100000 available, 1t was
deemed best to omit the parking.
