THE CREAMERY PLANT
BOUGHT 81. LOCAL men
The Plant Was Sold Under Deed
of Trust to Secure Indebted
ness Of About $4,000.

The plant of the Ellis County
creamery company was sold under
a deed Of trust Tuesday afternoon
to secure the indebtedness of the
company amounting approximately
to $4,000 The plant was bought in
by a committee composed of local
men, T. A. Ferris, J. l.. Cannon,
John M. Harrison, Geo. w, Coleman
and r. X. Erwin.
These gentlemen bought the plant
with a view to protecting the prop
erty from sale at sacrifice and
for the purpose of affording the
stockholders, who are largely rep
resented in the surrounding eoun-
try, tho privilege of paying their re-
spective parts of the debt of the
company in proportion to tho
amount OF stock held by each.
| Mr.. Ferris stated that a meeting
of the stockholders would be called
in few days for the purpose of re
organizing the company and resum
ling operation. An effort will b.
, made to induce those who now hav'
stock in the enterprise to continu'
as stockholders in the new com
pany that is to be formed.
It is estimated that the plant Il
worth $4,000 and 1T is one OF tht
Iat4a.. and most approved Ice cream
and butter plants in the country II
is believed the plant will yield goo
! profits in q seasonable year.

RAISING PEARLS ON "FARM"
Japanese Has Decided He Can Pro
duce Them on Land Laid Out
in Oceans Bed.

Mr.. Mikinoto's oyster farm in the
Bay of Ago, off the coast Of Japan,
is one of the few successful attempts
at the deliberate production of pearls.
Mikinoto spent several years in costly
experiments before he perfected his
scheme.
Then he secured government pat
ents and. according to Popular Me-
chanics, has succeeded in getting his
farm" on a paying basis. He first
makes a bed for his crop in the shall
lows OF the bay, where the larvae OF
the pearl oyster abound during the
months of July and August.
He merely deposits large number
Of small stones, to which the oyster
spat naturally attach themselves.
Then his diving women transplant the
young oysters to deeper waters to pro-
tect them from the cold
Here they lie on carefully prepared
beds until in their third year they be-
come full grown, and have firmly at
means of "necks" which they secrete.
At this time the diving women bring
the mollusks to the surface and they
undergo an operation. A small seed
pearl is introduced into the center Of
the she'll. Then the oysters are re-
planted in the bed and left alone for
four years.
When they are again brought to the
surface it is found that the seed pearl
nucleus has been covered with many
layers Of the nacre, g secretion of the
mollusk, and the large, brilliant trans.
lucent pearl Of commerce has been
formed
But the process is not as simple as
it appears During the seven years
that the farmer must wait for his crop
to mature a large percentage Of the
oysters die. The oyster beds are
raided by such enemies as the octopus
and the starfsh.
Occasionally the 'red current
sweeps over them and in a day de-
stroys the entire crop. At all times
the farmer must keep his oyster bed
free of "miruno," a seaweed which
will smother the crop.
Women divers trained froE. girl
hood to long dimensions in the sea
are engaged at 20 cents a day to care
for the farm. In this work they wear
nothing but head cloth, white shirt
ard diving goggles. At each dive
they can gather several oysters and
return to the surface.
A dive occupies about one minute,
and a days work is from four to six
hours. An expert can readily gather
500 oysters day in depth of water
ranging from two to six fathoms. To
keep at the work for day they must
frequently come up and warm them.
