The co-operative creamery in our from State has come to stay. writes H. S. image Bell. of Wls.onin. Though but recently pohe introduced, it is well rooted, and is now that experiencing a vigorous growth. In es- banl tablishing a co-operative system, State arohi laws governing corporations are al- ingsI ways, followed. This necessitates the the b selection of a board of directors, in crass which is contained the president, see Tape retary and treasurer. Instead of the react old-time combative committee on sales, repo, the hiring committee and the purchas- whle lag committee. with their eccentricities be and jeelousies, the executive power kings placed in the hands of one person, ap- dowi pointed by the directors and called the Fioo manager. Why The manager purchases all supplies. thys employs the buttermaker and all neccs- bad, sary assistants, makes all sales, col- Idt as lects all bills-turning the proceeds into this the hands of the treasurer--settles all In differences between patrons and the gard company; and, in fact, is complete mas- lad ter of the situation, subject only to the tabl dictates of the board of directors. If ue(l the manager employs a competent but- ta termaker, and gives him proper main- brp tenance, he can hardly fail to succeed dow In the business. Among the quallflca- wid tlons of a competent buttermaker are a punctuality, cleanliness, order, perfect oma knowledge of the chemical properties ran of milk and butter, a thorough under- Iam standing of machinery, a familiarity Th with the system of testing milk, and a dat complete knowledge of the chemistry ate. used in the operation. With all these acs qualifications, the buttermaker must Sau bave the support of the manager. His fro supplies furnished must be of the very in best; quality should be the first requis- cul tie, and price a secondary considera- rei ton. The manager should see that the ane milk furnished is properly cared for tot from the time it is drawn until it bri teaches the creamery. the An important by-law usually found I in the co-operative creameries of Wie- iA consin, requires the manager to visit hie all barns of patrons, Inspect the method frc of caring for milk, and see that cowe let have access to nothing but pure water. im He can then reject milk improperly me treated, or from cows drinking impure c water. One great feature of the co-op- , erative system in Wisconsin which mi tends to gre the patrons a sense of con- fo fidence, is the monthly statement is- At sued by the secretary, giving an item- Sb lied account of the business of the Pc creamery for the preceding month, ac- th companied by a check for his dividend. , It shows the farmer just how the fac- i ta tory is run.-American Agriculturist. ye There is no quicker way to get money es in pork than to keep a few breeding st sows and sell their pigs when ready to l 'weF or soon after. There is always a n good demand for such pigs, and at con- if siderably more than their pork value. tb It is known by everybody that the young pig makes more growth with the m same feed than it will at any later pe- w rlod of its life. But the seller of the p pig gets the advantage of this without o being at any expense to care for and at feed the animal. Therefore his profit Is greater than that of the man who buys from him.-Boston Cultivator. e - AN OPEN LETTER. WHAT MRS I E s IE SAYS O AMERICAN WOMEN.

I r nd In another part of the palace Queen e Vashti is entertainingthe princesses of Persia at a banquet. Drunken Ahasuerus rays to Isit his servants, "You go out and fetch Vashti nod from that banquet with the women, an, log bring her to this banquet with the men, and Tb let me display her beauty." The servants sel ter. immediately start to obey the king's com- th rlyo mand. but there was a rule in oriental so- be ure eletythat no woman might appear in public wt without having her face veiled. Yet here co op- was a mandate, and no one dare dispute, de- tin dch manding that Vashti come in unveiled be- sir on fore the multitude.

When I see n 10 woman with strong faith in God putting her foot upon a'l meanness and selfishness and godless display, going right forward to serve Christ and the race by a grand and glorious service, I say, "That woman is a queen," iti'i and the ranks of heaven look over tbe bat- h tlements upon the coronation, and whether she come up from the shanty on the com in- mons or the mansion of the fashionable if I square, I greet her with the shout: "All hail!

She does not need them, for all charitable men will unite with the crackling lips of fever struck hospital andplague blotched laaretto in greeting her as she passes: "Hall! Hail! Queen Vashti." Agati, I want you to consider Vashti the hsd veled. Had she appeared before Ahasuerts and his court on that day with her face un. mning overed she would have shocked all the dell Sif · cces of oriental soiety, and the very men who in their intoxieation demanded that she Scome in their sober moments would have de :h,no spised her. As some flowers seem to thrive food, bet in the dark lane and in the shadow and r and where the son does not seem to reach them, so God appoints to most womanly natures a retiring and unobtrusrive spirit. God once rould In a while does call an Isabella to a throne what- or a Miriam to strike the ttmbre4 at the front of a host, or a Marie Antoinette to quell a French mob, or a Deborah to stand at the ry to front of an armed batt.alton, crying out: ration "Up,up!

But when I see a woman of un- men blushing bollness, loud-voiced with a tongue of infinite citter clatter, with arro- uld gant look, passing through the streets with areli the stepof a walking beam. gayly arrayed in thep a very hurricane of millinery I cry out, part "'Vashli has lost her veil!"

I the , say: "Look, look! Vashti has lost her veil!" Again. I want you to consider Vashti the sacrifice. Who is this I see coming out of gent that palace gate of Shushan? It seems to me nar that I have seen her before. She comes this homeless, houseless, friendless, trudging along with a broken heart. Who is she? It Is Vashti the sacrifice. Oh, what a change it was from regal position to a wayfarer's crust! A little while ago approved and sought for; now none so poor as to acknowl edge her acquaintanceship. Vashtt the sac riflce! Ab, you and I have seen it many a time! Here is a home empalaced with beauty. Al that refinement and books and wealth can do for that home has been done, but Ahasuerus, the h sband and father, is taking hold on paths of sin. He is gradually going down. After awhile he will flaunder and struggle like a wild beast in the hunter's net -farther away from God, farther away from the right. Soon the bright apparel of the children will turn to rags; soon the house hold song will become the sobbing of a broken heart. The old story over again. Brutal centaurs breaking up the mar riage feast of Lapithae. The house full o of outrace and cruelty and abomina tion, while trudging forth from Ihe palace gate are Vashti and her children. There are homes that are in danger ot such a breaking up. Oh, Ahasueru., that. thy you should stad in a home, by a dissipated for life destroy the peace and eomfgrt of that home. God forbid that your children should ever have to wring their hands ant have peo- ar pie point their finger at them as they pass fl dlown the street and say, "'There goes a drunkard's child."

From this point of view it is of as interest to call attentimo to the sonclu- Irot sioas of Mr. Gerleke, a German fores- the ter, who asserts that the oldest trees in ant Germany, of which the age has been as- che certained witieertainty, are not lore of than 500 or 570 years old. It is the con ta ifers that appear to reach the most ad- str vanced age. Among the group of tress co with deciduous leaves, the oak appears .C3 to attain the greatest longevity. Mr. ate Gericke mentions, one at Aschaffen- h a burg 410 years of age. We know to a n certainty of beeches 245 years old, of the blrches of from 160 to 200 years, of Ie ' poplars of 220 years, of ashes of 170 rt years, of elms of 130 years, and of al- in ders of 145 years. We are here far from t3 the 500, 1,000 and 1,500 years that le gend often attributes to trees; but It must not be concluded that trees of bt S1,500 years cannot exist. What cannot gr t exist is the authentic proof of their ell age as long as they reman standing; It and the estimation of their age by bh counting their annual rings after they it are felled leaves the door open to se x dous errs. a it A CHEAP GARDEN HOSE. at S A good hose is necessiry In nearly all st gardens, but they are very easensive. aj . I have used one which I made myself, r, and which answers the purpose very r. well, but it will not stand very hard m pressure.

The cost for 150 feet was 3 I3 1g get a 20-ounce white ducking and cut it is into strips sufficiently wide to go he around a 1-inch pipe. The strips will n- be about 5 inches wide.

Paint with * he two coats of boiled oil, but no turpen tine. Let the hose hang in air eight or - ten days, until the oil is thoroughly set.

There is always some waste from feeding whole oats, though they are less cable to pack in the horse's stom- i ach; whole eats are preferred by many horsemen. But when the horse's teeth get poor the whole boat, not being mas ticated, is frequently voided as un broken as when it entered the animal, and will grow when placed under fa- i vorable conditions. In such case It can he do very little good. -It requires more the labor to cut and mix meal and cut hay, ul- but it will always pay, not only in the ,to saving of feed, but in the greater er- amount of work it will enable horses 'he to perform. ed Appeal for Asdstamee. hat The man who is charitable to himself will om listen to the mute apteal for assistance made by his stomach, or his liver, in the shape of divers dyspeptic qualms and uneasy sense-. ne, lion in the reons of the slands tht secretes A his bile.

Sweetness and Light. Put a Pill in the pulpit if you want pr-lo tical preaching for the physical man; then put the pill in the pillory if it does not prac tise what it preaches. There's a whole gospel in Ayer's Sugar Coated Pills; a "gospel of sweetness and light." People used to valUe their physio as they did their religion-by its bitterness. The more bitter the dose the better the doctor. We've got over that. We take "sugar in ours"-gospel or physic-now a-days. It's possible to please and to purge at the same time. There may be power in a pleasant pill. That is the gospel of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. More pill particularst in Ayer's Curebook. too pages. Sent free. J.C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass.
