to the creamery 1t probably could not
pay running expenses. Too often To-
calities have been led into the erection
Of a large plant without reference to
the number OF cows in the neighbor-
hood. This has caused failures In many
instances because the creamery could

small amount of output. In some Of
these cases small plant operated by n
competent crenmeryman could have
been made profitable and developed
into larger concern as the number Uf

The creamery building need not be a
large one nor an expensive one to be-

be enlarged to suit the conditions.
One very common mistake among

TAI INSLOW FAIRCHILD was

value. Then he happened to fall In
love. There Is nothing to settle u man
down to steady practical effort so
much as love and marriage The first
invention Fairchild made after his en-
gagement he sold for $1,000. On this
he married.
His workshop was single room on
an upper floor in business block in
the city. There he used to go at 0
O'Clock in the morning and work all
day at his inventions. In a few
months he had perfected a machine
which he believed would make his for
tune. He made very excellent model
Of the choicest wood, with brass fit
tings, keeping it secret and locking
the model in his shop when not there,
SO that no one could get at 1t. When,
however, his lawyer came to ask for a
patent he was Informed that the same
machine had been perfected few
days before.
Great was Fairchild's disappoint-
| ment, but greater was his surprise that
some on else had been working on the
same plan us himself and ut the same
time. Nevertheless he applied himself
| diligently nnd in the course of year
had another novelty ready for patent
ing. What was his astonishment 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, on which he had placed
a lock that no one would be likely to
pick There was nothing about the
room that gave any evidence of having
been tampered with. However. before
completing other plans and another
model. every night before leaving he
placed seal on the door and on each
Of the two windows. The seals were
never broken except by himself whe,

Nevertheless when he applied for Il

that he had been fOrestalled.
Hoping to get rid OF the trouble by
changing his shop. Fairchlld rented u
room in another building. Here be

to his lawyer, he awaited the result

been patented.
