AGRICULTURAL THE CO-OPEBiATIVE CREAMERY. Wiien properly operated the co-op- erative cresimery U provingr of great beneiit to tJhe farmers. Tbe principle iirHl«rlying ttie nystejnâ€" the principle of oot-operation, is wit'hout question the true plaa upon wMob to run the great industry of buttar production if we ar« to .secure the beat results in qual- ity of product and economy of produc- tion. True there have been many fail- ures and much di^isatlsfaction where co-operative oreajmeriea have been ea- tabUslhed, but th« fault has beeo indi- vidual and local and not in the system. A' creamery camnot pay expenses and return a good interest on tiliie plant unless tlhexe is mil'k to support it. A botheirinff the neighbor.*, h« had bet- ter burn hi^ attention to something else, as turkeys are naturally of a, very wanderingi dispoeation, and can- not be succeaafuUy raised in confine/ m«nt. If you can keep turkeys witb- out tre,spaasin|ji on the rig'lits of oth- ers, you will find t.hjem a profitable ad- junct to ge.neral farming. Many far- mars, farmers' jvives and daughters would find ii more profitable and really no moxe work tlhan raiising chickens. But tjbere Ls need of patience and per- .severance ; do not be dlsa^ppointed if over half the young turks die the first yearâ€" Jprobably more will live Uie sec- ond.

BlSaOP B. W. ARNETT. Before Iwing elected Bishoo he was a leading minister in his church and also a very prominent Republican. Hb represented his country in the Ohio Legislature for several years. Having given this sketch of the bishop, the following testimonial from him will t)e foiind very interesting reading and fully explains itself. To whom it tnay concern : "In April, 1894, while on my wayi home from Philadelphia I caught a very severe cold, which soon develojied into rheumatism. It was impossible for me to rest by day or sleep by night. AlKjutthe first of June I was compell- ed to take to my bed, where I remain- ed for some time. When I was able to get u|>. I could only get about by the use of crutches. "The fall came on and the rheuma- tism grew worse, lasting all thrnugh the winter of '94 and '95. I suffered as I never su/ferod before. I thought that the spring would bring me relief, but it did not, consequently I was forced to civni'el a niuuoer of engage- ments to si>eak. " One day in June, 1895, my wife said, ' Bishop, I read- so much aljout Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, suppose you try them and see It they will not help you?" " I said, ' No, there is no use 08 get- ting them for we have tried aliuoet everything that has been recommend- ed to ua, and none ot the remedies suggested seeei to help my case. " She said no more, but went to X«)D!ia, Ohio, and bought a box of the pills. On her return she gave me a dose at noon and anotiher at night. She was only called one fcimie to attend to me during tiliat night. "PVn* toonwhs jn-evioue she had l)een called three to four times during the nighlt. The next day I took three dose of the plUs, and the second night I was not distuPbed. Mly wife, tor the Jiirsft time in more than ten months, had a good night's sleep. "I have not Tost a night's sleep since that time on account of the rheuma- tism, t carry a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in mty pocket wherever I go- " I cheerfully bear testimony, and hope that others may find, relief as I did.

The Protector was seniling a special envoy to Sweden in t^e person of Bulb- rod Whitelock, amost devout man, bat of an extremely nervous, anxious tem- perament. As the ambassador wa* about to embarli on bis journey, he waa detained at Harwich by a storm. Ha was so troubled with the affairs of th* nation that he tossed, turned and groaned in his bed, unable to get to sleep. At last his confidential servant, who had won Whitelock's respect and oou« fidence through his faithfulness and good sense on many a trying occasion^ ventured to say, "Pray, sir, will yo* give me leave to ask you a question?" "Certainly," was the answer. "Do you not think tha* God governed the world very well before you oame in- to it?" f "Undoubtedly 1 do, said Whitelook. "And," continued the servant, "do you not think He will govern it quits as well when you are gone out ot it 1" "To l>e sure He wilL" responded ths master, promptly. "Then, sir, excuse me, but may you not trust Him to govern it the little while you are to live in it I" WRitelock mode \no reply to this pertinent question, but he turned over and was soon asleep; and on his return he repeated the story of this bit of ad- vice with much appreciation.
