of a Brooklyn electrical engineer. The
eye consists of large sphere having
a lens on its front side and field cor

WESTERN CANADA
Co. Operative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy commissioner, at ufSt III.
nual convention Of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows great In
crease in the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement in quality Is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 50 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase of over 100000 lbs. Of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over 25.OOO
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $427,0O The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4,150,444 lbs.
and 1t brought an average price of 23c
per lb.; of creamery butter 5,839.667
lbs. were produced which commanded
zoe per lh. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 728, 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as $2,76O69s, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at $325,659
and the cream at $685. 1927, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lib. and of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry 1t is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, Of which the
1915 production amounted to 1913
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1886 tons; Of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631 OO5, which is an In
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory Is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows. the growing Improvement In
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA. it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons rate Of 2711c per
lb. for butter fat and had profit re-
naming over all expenses of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $81, III and manu-
featured 256,OOO lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 28H cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try Of Northern Alberta is we'll indi-
Gated by the growth of a prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525.OOO lbs. butter. an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market in all
parts of Canada and this year will en-

Old places to Hide Cash.

more than one may hit on the same

All this was gall and NORWOOD to
old Doc EustAchy, who found himself
almost abandoned by his townsmen.
The calls for his services became so
infrequent that he spent most of his
time in his dingy Office. calling down
maledictions upon his young rival. He
hadn't pride enough to keep quiet. He
talked of nothing but Tournatoire.
whom he denounced as quack, an
impostor, and everything else unpleas-
ant. He became such bore that peo-
pie avoided him, and when he went
for a walk he had the whole street
to himself. Meanwhile business was
humming with Doctor Tournatoire,
who frolicked over the countryside,
cutting off peoples limbs and feeding
them with pills, in the merriest way
Imaginable.
This went on for two or three years,
and in 1884 Tournatoire was urged to
run for local Office, so he placed him
self in the hands of his friends, ex-
planning that he always was ready to
bleed and die for the flag at moments
notice. This public spirited conduct
was more than Eustachy could stand.
He determined to be candidate him
self, and thus bring humiliation to his
rival. He had the idea that he had
enough friends and sympathizers to
elect him, but when the votes were
counted Eustachy was the most pro-
nounced kind of an also ran. He didn't
have a look in. And he was so mad
over it that he howled like wolf.
A day or two after the election the
people of Pertuis woke. to find the
town plastered with handbills in which
Tournatoire was held up to scorn as
moral leper, and a professional shy
ster, and a few other things. All
the wire-edged words in the French
language were used in the effort to do
him justice. The people were called
upon to rise as one man and run the
faker out of the community. Doctor
Tournatoire stood by deadwall and
read the hand bill, and his lips whit
ened, and cold sweat stood on his
forehead.
"Parbleu!" said he, in the absence
of good American crossword. "Thfs
is going too far!"
So he had old Doc Eustachy arrest
ed on a charge of libel, and 1t was
easy to prove his responsibility. The
old doc was convicted and fined, and
returned to his Office madden than
ever.
Six weeks later Tournatoire invited
some of his friends to little banquet
at his home, and on the afternoon Of
the festive day basket Of game mr.
rived at the house. Half a dozen beatl-
tiful thrushes were in the basket. The
thrushes were cooked, but there was

No matter how hard paintbrush
has become, 1t can be made as soft and
clean as new by simply boiling in wal

lye. A little washing powder or soap
will do, but it will take longer. The
brush should be placed on end and the
boiling water should be no deeper than
the length of bristles, as the boiling
suds will injure the handle. Turpen-
