These rugs can be made seamless in
any size up to sixteen feet in width,
and any length
The fiber or grass rugs have a dura-
bility and an artistic quality far in
excess OF what might be assumed from
their most moderate prices. One Of the
cheaper grass rugs bears a design stem
ciled on its upper surface after the
weaving has been done, so that the re-
verse side is plain but equally useable.
These come as low as S1.99 for a piece
3 feet by 6 feet and $500 for one 9
feet by u feet.

orings and patterns are used for an

other variety Of fiber rugs that have
the fiber braided to resemble hammock
cord. These are somewhat more ex-
pensive than other types, a 8 by y
size costing about twenty dollars. The
regulation Navajo rugs by the way,
are taking on considerably more sub
tie hues, and their quieter cOlorings
have added not a little to their beauty
and practicability.
For $3.50, one can buy an interesting
Madagascar straw-braided rug which is
the Oriental counterpart Of the old
fashioned rag rug. It is straw cOlored
with narrow, wavy black lines near the
border and a plain design in the center.

Thanksgiving Day is usually the time
when the goosebone weather prophets
make their predictions for the winter.
Indications for the winter of 1912
1913, according to markings of the
breastbore of goose Matched in Berks
last spring, are that the weather will
be mild up to the holidays after which
severe cold IS promised with several
billiards. Spring will be late. Pleasant
weather will prevail during the Christ
mas holidays. These are the predictions
of local weather prophet after reading
the goosebone.
John A. Kalbach, proprietor of the
Imperial Hotel, one OF Readings most
expect goosebone weather prophets,
who has followed the predictions of Elias
Hartz, the original goosebone man,
since 1905, says he always has found
his representations correct. Every
Thanksgiving Day since 1905 Mr.. Kali
bach has examined bone in order ia
make comparison with Mr.. Hartz S
measurements.
From a gander of the 1912 season,
which formed a part Of Mr.. Kalbach's
Thanksgiving dinner, maid winter is
predicted, according to his reading OF
the marking. The bone is similar ir
color to that of last year, showing that
the cold spell will not come much be.

SUMEIHING OF INTEREST.
For the attention of Patrons of the
Local Creamery.

A creamery to be successful must be
operated on a business basis. Economy
in every respect must be practiced,
he-!ct4 ---...- attain, NJ u Tx
must be made in order that the best re-
suits may be obtained. Every avenue
for loss must be carefully investigated
and leakages must be stopped if possible.
This is especially true in creamery
where the output is small but is APP
plicable to even the largest plants. To
determine where the losses are it is
necessary to have an accurate system of
accounting, but it is fully as important
that an effort be made in everyday prac-
tice to discover and eliminate factors
that are causing losses.
At the Oakland creamery there are
two factors that are causing a loss to
the plant, These are an excessive use
of coal and large loss Of buttertat in
the buttermilk A goodly share of the
loss in the excessive use of coal has been
eliminated by thoroughly cleaning the
boiler which was badly rusted, thus pre-
venting the heat from the burning coal
from penetrating to the water in the
boiler. But there is another way by
which another saving Of coal can be
made. 1t is to have the cream delivered
on two days in the week SO that it will
not be necessary to keep a high pressure
of steam at all times A great saving
can not only be effected in this way, but
a better quality of butter can be made
in that the cream will not be held so
long in an open vat where it is exposed
to all the impurities Of the atmosphere
In this way too, regular churning DAYS
may be had and knowing the days that
buttermilk is available, a very good
trade in that by product can be develop
ed The patrons of the creamery are
respectfully asked to DELIVER their cream
Gil Mondays and Thursdays Of each week
and in the forenoon, if possible
The factor of loss of fat in the butter
- ortant one Many dollars
in battcrfat have passed out in the
butte1niiiH al the Oakland creamery
since the plant was organized This has
been due largely to the very thin cream
that is being delivered. The patron
gets as great returns from his cream
when it contains a greater fat content
as when thinner, even though the
quantity is much smaller. Nearly every
farmer around Oakland has a cream
separator and it is very simple task to
change the cream screw to produce a
thicker cream. About the proper rich
ness of cream to get best results is 80
per cent. This will churn with small
loss and is not too thick to handle we'll
Tho farmers about Oakland are asked
to cooperate with the new creamery
management in getting the plant on a
systematic basis. The two factors
mentioned above are very important and
if cooperation is given at once along
these lines, a decided Improvement will
have been made.
