Co-operative Creameries Thrive.
The oo-operative oreamery in our
state has come to stay, writes H. S. Bell
of Wisconsin. Though but recently
introduced, it is well rooted and is now
experiencing a vigorous growth. In
establishing a co-operative system state
laws governing co -operations are always
followed. This necessitates the selec-
tion of a board of directors, in which
are contained the president, secretary
and treasurer. Instead of the pld time
combative committee cel sales, the hir-
ing committee and the purchasing com-
mittee, with their eccentricities and
jealousies, the executive power is plac-
ed in the hands of one person, appoint-
ed ,by the directors and called the
manager.
The Manager purchases all
employs the butter maker and ell-
sorry
ll sary assistants makes all sales,. .els
all bills, turning the proceedsxn ,:-the.
hands of the treasurer; settles a]j:;differ
ences between patrons and the •mom,
pony, and, in fact, is complete master
of the situutiou, subject only to the
dictates of the board of directors, 1f
the manager employs a competent but-
ter maker and gives him proper main-
tenance, he can hardly fail to succeed
in the business. Among the qualifica-
tions of a competent butter n1 iker are
pun( tuality, cle;urlines;, order, perfect
knowledge of the chemical properties
of wills and buttera thorough under-
standing of machinery, a familiarity
with the system of testing milk and a
complete kuuwled a of the chemistry
used n the operation. \1 ith all these
qualifications the butter maker must
have the support of the manager. His
supplies furnished must be of the very
hest. Quality should be the first re-
quisite and price it secondary considera-
tion. The manager a1100Id see that the
milk furnished is properly cared for
from the time it is drawn until it teach-
es the creamery.
An important bylaw usually found in
the co Operative creameries of \\'iscons
sin requires the manager to visit all
barns et patrons, inspect the method of
caring for wink and see that cows have
access, to nothing but 'pare water. lie
can then r, jest milk improperly 'treated
or from cows drinking impure water.
One great feature of the co-operative
system in Wisconsin which tends to
give the patrons a sense of confidence
is the munthly statement issued by the
secretary, giving an itemized account of
the business of the creamery for the
preceding month, acicompanied by a
check for his dividend. It shows the
farmer just how the factory is run.—

THE WIDOW'S CrARDEN
The Rev. Wetherby Smiles was rector of
St.James' and occupied a rose embower-
ed cott go not far from the church. The
tbagr\ with its attendant garden, was a
dainty, pretty spot, which looked as thuugh
a woman's hand bed._ planned and cared
for it. But no woman load anything to do
with tho, routory. 'l'he 118x. Mr. Smile's
only servant was a doddurin old Ivan.
The rector prepared his own ments,•except
when he was invited to tea by some old
lady who pitied his lonely, indigestion
breeding existence.
Not that the Rev, Wetherby Seniles was
e woman hater, but Blr. Smiles was very
high church indeed, Unfortunately St.
.James' and the parish and the people wore
very poor. The good people liked the 1tuv.
Mr. Smiles and treed to follow his sug-
gestions upon high church Usages. But
there aro people, you know, whom you
couldn't make high church with a jack-
screw. 11he communicants of St. James'
were mostly farmers and small tradesmen.
Tho rector felt that the clergy, to ho
able to give their whole time and thought
to their work, should live lives of celibacy.
IIe had felt at times u strong drawing tu•
ward some e' les s t'
tc la tical order in which
such vows would be necessary. Then ho
could wear some outward sign of his vows,
and the young women of his parish would
not fall in love with him. The rector was
young and good looking. Ho had been in
his present pastorate six months, and ho
had already had au experience.
The young rector lived with his books,
occasionally taking a little recreation in
the garden. The roses disappeared, the
leaves full and left the clinging vines bare,
and the snow covered the prim little beds
in the rectory garden. 'thus a year of his
pastorate closed anti the spring drew near.
The Rev. Wetherby Smiles from his
study window could look across his garden
plot and see the brown earth warming in
the spring sunshine and the trees and
bushes slowly bursting into leaf. Nature
is always most attractive in the spring,
and nature in a thousand ways, with btid
and leaf and warming earth and white
flecked sky and sweet air, wooed him
from his books.
He looked across his garden, I say. And
across the garden beyond the low hedge
was another garden, which in' summer
was full of color. He had noticed the bril-
liant hued bods the year before, but now
the only bit of color was a pale blue morn-
ing robe that fitted about the inelosure.
To tell tho truth, the rector had seldom
noticed that morning gown or the little
woman inside it before, But it pleased
his fancy now to loop across the'bedge and
watch his neighbor. He recalled that his
old major domo bad told hien the cottage
next the parsonage was occupied by a
widowed lady—a lonely creature who had
taken up her abode there, but shortly be-
fore the Rov. Bir. Smiles was settled over
St. James'. He remembered tho little fig-
ure in black in one of the side paws, point-
ed out to him by the clerk as "Mrs. Scor-
riteh," and probably had not given her a
thought or a glance afterward.
However, he saw so much of the pale
blue gown that first warm week in spring
thathe looked for the little widow in her
pow the next Sabbath. She had laid aside
her weeds and was dressed • in some soft,
clinging, fawn colored material, that made
her look like n very demure little moth.
And sbo had the sweetest face in the world
—at least the sweetest face in the Rev
Wetherby Smiles' world.
On Monday morning the clerical black
appeared in the rectory garden almost as
soon as the pretty morning robe appeared
over the hedge. The demure little face
dimpled and smiled under its garden'hat
at the rector's approach, and the widow
nodded brightly.
' You aro early at your gardening this
spring, Mrs. Scorriteh, " lie said.
"Yes. But it Is so warm," she replied
in defense. "I am expecting my crocuses
to appear any day now."
"I'm afraid we shall see some frost yet,
Mrs. Scorriteh," said the rector.
"Now, don't talk that- way, I beg l"
cried the little woman, clasping her hands,
inclosed in long wrested and particularly
Well fitting gauntlets. "Just suppose my
oroouses should come up and , bo frost bit -
tent Oh, the thought is too awful I"
"I sincerely hope you will not he disap-
pointed, but this climate is uncertain."
After that the young rector often found
it quite necessary for his health to work
in his garden while the blue gown flitting
like a butterfly from rose tree to vine and
from vine to hedgerow was in evidence in
the neighboring yard. Really, after poring
over musty theological tomos all win , a
man must got some' freshness in hisoul
and new blood in his heart.
The gardening wont on apace, and the
treacherous warm weather continued.
Many were the conferences hold across the
hedge regarding the proper pruning of rose
trees, the planting of hardy seeds and the
preparation of the beds of earth. The ren-
tor had never suspected there was so much
detail to the business of gardening.
One morning, just after a warm night
rain, the' Rev. Mr. Smiles was palled to
the hedge by a little ory from his neighbor.
"They aro coming!" she Dried in de-
light. "See, here la the dearest 11tt10 blade
of green pushing up through the mold,
and there Is another -and another! just
look at them I"
The rector found it necessary to loap'the
hedge (be had been something of an athlete
at the university, and certainly this spring
Weather was sending the blood coursing
through his veins quite like old times) and
look at tho crocus bed.
. "They are such lovely,ones," she said
aarneiltly. '(:I don't believe yea notiOoti
thelia at ail last spring" (ho pronounced
maledictions upon hilnsolf for having Ivan
e4 blind as to miss so mutb beauty the
previous season), "hut they will he oven
bettor this year -if we don't have that hor-
rid frost you have been prophesying."
She looked up at him roguishly, ,pnd it
suddenly crossed the young rector's ulnad
that several yellowish green points•of ern -
sus blade, breaking the damp soil, uulda
a far prettier picture than the finest reser
bush in full bloom which he bad ever seen..
1t was a strange fact and one be had never
discovered before.
But when ha had returned to bis own
lonely domain and entered his study be
stopped and thought seriously for a min-
ute. Then he east his flat crowned minis-
terial hat upon the floor with grerat em-
phasis and exclaimed:
"It's my creed, I tell you, that a man
in orders should not marry."
Now, there was no ono visible to argue
the question, and yet there seemed to be
argument in his own mind, for the Rev.
Wetherby Smiles smote his palm with his
clinched fist angrily and kinked the flat
crowned hat to the other end of the room.
For two days the rector of St. James'
rigidly stifled his interest in crocuses, His
interest in creeds, however, was not en-
tirely satisfying. On Sunday alter vespers
ho overtook on his way home a little figure
in a fawn colored gown.
"You must see my crocuses, Mr.
Smiles," she said, "The buds will be open
before Sunday."
The rector glanced gloomily at the dark-
ening sky and thought that probably
there would be a frost that night. But he
could not long thinkof frost and other un-
pleasant possibilities under the skillful
manipulation of his charming little neigh-
bor. He hesitated at her gate, and again
crocuses triumphed over creed. The oro-
euses were flourishing finely. The creeds
took a buck seat-indood a very unobtru-
sive seat -in the L'ector's liernory.
l}i.i interest in the croons continued that
evening to so late an hour that his old
servitor really thengtf:• ho was not coming
to supper and cleared ai,Vas: the repast.
"Never mind," said the roots;?' kindly,
"1 am not hungry." And when tinold
man had doddered off to bed he sat down
before the open window of his chamber
and stared o;.t into the still night.
Ile sat therefor an hour. A light burned
behind tl'd curtain of ono of his neighbor's
window,,, That was her light, he kniew,
Finally it disappeared, but ho sat on, his
arms olded upon the sill, his eyes glaring

rt grow colder, and suddenly the Rov.
Wetherby. Smiles awoke to the discomforts
of the outer man. He shivered and drew
away from the window. There was no
breeze and no clouds, but an inorcasiug
chill made him close the casement.
Ton he slipped on a smoking jacket and
wont to the door, 'There was a light haze
upon the river, and a shimmer of frost was
in the air.
"A bad night for the farmers and fruit
growers," he thought. Then his mind re-
verted to those crocuses. "They will be
black by morning," he said. "Too bad,
and tho little woman thinks so much of
them."
He hesitated a moment and then went
in again, reappearing shortly with an old
mackintosh.
",lust the thing to spread over the bed
to defend thein from the frost," ho mut-
tered, and with long strides he crossed the
rectory garden and leaped the hedge.
Feeling a good deal like a night prowler
who had no business in the place, he crept
through bis little neighbor's garden and
approached the crocus bed near the porch.
Ile started at the slightest sound and
glanced about fearfully. Suppose anybody
should see him -one of his parishioners -
even his major demo! He forgot the night
was dark. It seemed to his excited imagi-
nation that anybody passing along the
road could see him -the rector of St.
Janees'-1prowling about beneath a lady's
window I
Suddenly, just as ho spread the cover-
ing over the crocus bed and was turning
hastily to flee, he heard a sound on the
porch. Ile started and his oyes became
fixed upon the vision before him. A fig-
ure, all In white and motionless, stood
upon the lower step.
Tho Rov. Wotherby Smiles was startled,
but he was not superstitious. For some
seconds, however, he stared at the appari-
tion before he recognized it. Then he
stepped quickly forward, and began to
make excuses in a low voice.
"Mrs, Scorriteh—Lydia—I beg your
pardon, but I thought"—
Ho got no further in his faltering re-
marks. With a shuddering little cry the
figure tottered and would have fallen to
the ground had he not sprung forward
and caught her in his arms.
"Good Lord I" unuttered the Rev. Mr.
Smiles, the perspiration starting on hie
brow, "What a situation! Suppose any-
body should see me now. To think of me
—n clorgyman—in a woman's garden at
night, holding that woman in my arms!"
Ho was tempted to lay her down upon
the porch and run. But he looked down
into the little white face, revealed by the
faint starlight. Tho pale lids were drawn
over the groat eyes, which ho thought so
glorious. Tho pouting lips had not entire-
ly lost their redness, but the cheeks were
without color. Tho loose fitting wrapper
which she had slipped on over her night
robe before coming down (evidently, like
himself, with the crocus In mind, for a
sheet had slipped froth her hand as she
fell) bad fallen away at the neck, revealing
the marblelike beauty of her throat.
110 looked upon her, and then did not
lay her down and fico, Instead he stooped
lower and -lifted her moro closely against
his breast and carried his burden into the
house, There was n couch in the reception
room. He laid her down and lighted the
gas. She opened her eyes languidly and
cow him.
"I have frightened you, Lydia," he
said, stooping above her. "Really, I had
no intention, you know. I only remem-
bered the crocuses"—
"I-I thought you were a burglar," she
admitted. "And when I heard your
voioe'
"Didn't you recognize it?" he asked.
"You -you had never spoken to me in
just that way before, and" -
He bent lower and took her hand. "I
was only thinking of the crocuses, Lydia,"
be said, which was very true. Re had
quite forgotten. the "creed." -W. Bert

In /oder for the cow to do het hest
she meet receive good care—be fed,
watered and 111ilkeel regnlau•Io. As a
role it is better to milk every 12 hoot's.,_
A1out six o'clock in the inurning and
the same in the evening is hey rule.
Be kind and gentle with the cows nt
all threes and allow 00 one to abuse or
mistreat them in any way. Cows re-
quire large quantities of water when
fed dry feed, and it should he arrrtnged.
so they can drink as often as they
wish, or not less than three tithes at
day, and the 'water should he fresh
from the well and not, bc'pumped in
troughs half filled with ice, It you
have a covered and:enclosed barnyard
or a large shed where you can turn the
cows Oltt in daytime, you can a rran5e
to water there, and then 1 he cows will
not have to be exposed to cold winds,
and it will be a splendid place for them
to get the necessary exercise.
While ensilage. is a splendid feed for
milk'cows, being so moist and succu-
lent, and containing ars it does, a fair
supply of grain, which with the addition
of some wheat bran, makes nearly an ,x
ideal feed, it is comparatively in its
infancy, and the majority will con-
tinue to depend on clover hay rind corn
fodder, and if properly caned and
lensed they fill the hill very well. 1.1
you have a large supply of 14uldet, feed
it morning and night and hey at noon.
But if you have more hay dean fodder,
then feed hay mohning and night and
fodder at noon.
In the absence of ensilage grow
some roots for the cows, and in ,harking
your selection try some sugar beets,
They yield wonderfully, and a half
bushel fed each day Will give good re-
sults. Also be sure to grow it few
acres of sweet corn to feed the cutis
along the latter part of the sunnier
and early fall, when it is most sure to
be dry and the pasture short or fail al-
together, as it did last fall.
For a grain feed there is nothing Net-
ter than corn and oats -equal parts—
ground fine, with the addition of the
same hulk of wheat bran and a little
oilmeal. The amount must be regulat-
ed to suit, the wants, or rather the ca-
pacity of the cow, feeding all she con
use to advantage. And it will take
some time arid close observation to de-
termine just what each individual cow
needs; so watch carefully and feed the
machine to its frill capacity, for a cow
is only a machine for converting hay,
fodder, grain, etc., into milk. --C. C.

having had much uneasiness about the
heart, with palpitation more or less
severe since I was a boy. I had ab-

remedies, hut without any benefit.
