The best money maker on the
farm is the hen, says an exchange.
She turns grass into greenbacks
grain into gold and from tbe sand
and gravel she coins silver. There
is nothing else on the place to com
pare with her. Tbe horses aud cat
tie are heavy consumers, and to get
their value we must part with them,
but not the hen. In her small way
she is a gold mine on the face of the

Appleton City and Green Ridge
are the latest victims of the canning
factory fever. Several years ago
enders of creamery machinery work
ed every town in the country and
hundreds of thousauds of dollars
were expended in creamery enter
prises which all proved disastrous
investments. This epidemic of can
n'ng factories appears to be brought
about in a similar way, through tbe
efforts of agents for firms making
the necessary machinery. Choton
Democrat
Rich Hill parties in town Monday
said the Butler folks could have the
canuiug factory at that place, if they
would take it aud run tbe same,
They would go farther and give the
plant free for one year to any re
sponsible person tbat would operate
it. They stid the factory had been
a bad investment for the company
putting 1. iu and lost them money
Before Butler people invest in enter
prises of this kind it might be well
to investigate
