to the creamery it probably could not
pay running expenses. Too often 10
calities have been led into the erection
of large plant without reference to
the number Of COWS in the ucighbul'-
hood This has caused failures in many
instances because the creamery could
not pay its running expcnses(on the
small amount of output. In some Of
these eases Il small plant operated by Il
competent creameryman could have
been made profitable and developed
into larger concern us the number of
cows in The locality increased.
The creamery building need not he Il
large one nor an expensive one to be
gin with. Then as the business grows
and more room is needed the plant can
be enlarged to suit the conditions.
One very common mistake among
creamery owners is that they secure
men as buttermakers who know very
little or nothing about the scientific
principles Of creamery work. Too Of
ten the man who will work ut lower
wages is chosen rather than the man
who understands the business and de-
serves better pay. Among the prob
lens which the buttermakcr has to
contend with are those OF controlling
flavor and moisture in butter.

he could not give the slightest clew to
the mystery and had no money to pay

declined to take the case.
Meanwhile as his spirits sank his
wife rose to the occasion. She con-
tended that there was no way for any
one to steal the plans except at the
shop and determined to keep a watch
there herself. Her husband was too
discouraged to make new invention,
but he wrote out bogus plan and set
up a, former model. While 1t was ap-

leaving their little one in care of her
husband, went to the shop. She en-
tered it stealthily so as not to put any
one on guard. She sat in the dark till
long past midnight, but saw nothing
unusual. The next night she went
again to the shop and sat in the dark
It was a forlorn hope sitting there
with only the dim model to see against
the window. 1t was perhaps II o'clock
when she began to feel sleepy. She
shook off the temptation, but despite
her efforts her eyes became heavy.
She pinchcd herself to keep awake.
Suddenly there was flash so binding
that she was forced to close her eyes
for second. and when she opened
them all was darker than ever.
Mrs. Fairchild waited awhile so rs
not to alarm any one, then stealthly
left the shop and. going to the nearest
police office, told the officers she
thought there were robbers in the
building where her husband had his
shop. Several of them accompanied
her. she having the good. sense to warn
them to make II search with great
caution. They searched every floor, at
last coming to the one where the shop
was located. One man stationed him
self on the landing above, one below.
There were but two rooms OH n floor,
and the men directed their search to
the rear room back of the shop. The
door was locked, and there was no ap-
pcarance of light within. At Mrs.

striking anything of actual
value. Then he happened to fall in
love. There is nothing to settle Il man
down to steady practical effort SO
much as love and marriage The first
invention Fairchild made after his en-
gagemcnt he sold for $1,000 On this
lie married.
His workshop was Il single room on
an upper floor in n business block in
the city. There he used to go Mt .
o'clock in the morning and work all
day at his inventions. In few
months lie had perfected machine
which he believed would make his for
tune. He made very excellent model
Of the choicest wood, with brass fit
tings, keeping il secret and locking
the model in his shop when not there,
so that no one could get ut 1t. When,
however. his lawyer came to ask for a
patent lie was informed that the same
machine had been perfected few
days before.
Great was Farchild's disappoint-
ment, but greater was his surprise that
same plan MS himself and ut the same
time. Nevertheless he applied himself
diligently and i'm the course of Il year
had another novelty ready for patent
ing. What was his establishment to
find that in this also some one had got
ahead of him. This time he began to
suspect that his plans had been copied.
But who could have done so? He kept
them locked in Il safe in his shop, and
there was no evidence Of the safe ever
having been opened by any one except
himself. He made an inspection Of the
entrances to his shop, but there was
only one door, OH which he had placed
n lock that no one would be likely to
pick There was nothing about the
room that gave any evidence Of having
been tempered with. However, before
completing other plans and another
model. every night before leaving he
placed a seal ON the door and on each
of the two windows. The seals were
never broken except by himself when
he returned to work in the morning.
Nevertheless when he applied for II
patent on his next machine he found
that he had been forestalled.
Hoping to get rid Of the trouble by
changing his shop, Falrchild rented Il
room i'm another building. Here he
made new machine. Giving the plans
to his lawyer, he awaited the result
with feverish anxiety. The report
came, as usual. that the invention had
been patented
BY this time he had spent every cent
lie had received for his first invention
and had made nothing more. A child
had been born TO him. and his neces-
sury expenses were increased. There
was something so irritating. so wear

son or spirit was taking advantage OF
his brain work, leaving him and his

EVERY DOLLAR SENT OUT
4, OF HOME TOWN HURTS IT
City to Grow at the Expense
of tho Country.

There Is the same reason for building
up the trade and industries OF a com
nunlty that there Is for building up
the trade and industries Of nation
IL goes without saying that the coun.
try which does most TO foster the com.
merce, the manufacturing and the pros
perity of its own people soon outdls.
tanccs the country which neglccts these
things. The same thing applies to small
communities.
Now, that is just the principle involv-
ed In trading with home merchants
rather than with distant mail order
houses. TO trade with the home mcr-
chant helps home commerce and home
industry. To send money to the dis
tant mail order house helps that re-
mote concern. but depletcs the commu-
nifty from which the money is sent.
Every dollar taken out of Il community
makes everybody IN the community
that much less prosperous. If more
water flows out OF lake than flows
into it. there Is only Il question OF time
when the lake will 20 dry. If more
dollars flow out of Il community than
flow into it, there is only question Of
time when everybody that lives there
will suffer for lack of money.
Take the farmer, for example. Sup
pose he trades with Il mail order house
on the supposition that he can buy
goods cheaper there, supposition that
actual investigation shows In most
cases to be untrue. Every dollar the
farmer sends away leaves his commu-
nifty short that one dollar. AS result
the home merchant suffers. When al
the home merchants suffer the village
itself becomes less prosperous. This
reacts on the farmer. IL Is Il truism
thar Il farm near II thriving town is
poor town Therefore every time the
farmer hurts the merchant of his near.
est village he Is depicting the value of
his own acres.
This Is not theory. but u condi-
ton shown by rundown villages and
abandoned farms in many parts Of the
land. The thing that caused this havoc
WAS not deterioration of the soil, but
deterioration IN the local public spirit.
The same thing that causes dollars 10
90 to tie distant city when they should
remain NJ home causes the boy or the
girl Ia go to the distant city when he
or she should remain at home. The
fault does not lie in soil or other outer
conditions SO much nS IN the people
themselves They fail TO appreciate
their locality. its charm and its posi-
bilities.
The outcome OF all this is that the
city becomes conGested both with men
and wealth. while the rural community
falls behind in the same degree. This
is not q healthy condition. Any nat
ton is in bad way whose cities grow
ut the expense Of It's farms. When the
farmers are prosperous the nation Is
and no true and permanent
is possible otherwise.

Timely Agricultural Topics

In many localities promoters have led
people into subscribing for stock for the
erection OF creamery in their locality
when there were not enough cows In
the vicinity to warrant the building of
the creamery. The only object Of the
promoter Is that of selling the ma.
chinery, and he usually charges large
price for 1t. Many OF these creameries
have never been success and have
