The transfer shows that Matthew and Wm. J. Dalziel haye sold 80 acres of land for $9,900 to "The Spirit Fruit So­ ciety. "" The tract is located on Wooster Lake and the acquirement of the land shows that the intentions of the leader, Jacob Bielhart, are to have a permanent home there for his peculiar people whose "Spirit Fruit" features have attracted national attention.

Mr. Choate began his business career in this village about half a century ago, remaining here but a short time. This paper and The Weekly Inter Ocean--$1.55 gets for both one year. Bpecial deal | "s - B. S. Herbert of the Ravenswood Citizen tells the following story of his visit to our village on a recent date: There is scarcely a family that does not nee iriilk, and especially where there are childreu, and we are all interested in the delicious lacteal fluid. Op Mon­ day moruing of this week iu company with Rev. Frfdk. L. Selden, pastor of the Ravenswood Presbyteriau church, we vi«iteil McHenry, JUiuoK ruirt had what proved to be a most pleasant and instructive experience. Rev. Selden even s*i ! he thought that the day had b«fit as vnhiable to him as attf:.diu«j the regnlxr'Monday meeting of the Min­ isterial association iu Chicago, from which he often returned with a head­ ache, while after this day in c'o-t' toucsh w<th nature, and after drinking milk and cream, half and half, at the foun­ tain head, he felt refreshed aud invigor­ ated. The start was made from Ravens- wood at 8:25 a. tn., over the Chicago & North-Western railway to Wells Street station, from there to Crystal. Lake, then cars were taken to McHenry, where, among other places, one of the bottling stations gf the Borden's Con ilenseil Milk company was visited. Wo were received most cordially by the superintendent. Mr. H. Price, who con­ ducted us thru the plant. The handling of the milk was traced from the receiv­ ing room, where it is taken in from farmers in eight gallen cans. These cans are thoroly washed, after being used and before returning to the farm­ ers, in boiling hot water and then sterj- lized by forcing live, hot steam into them uu^il they are thoroly purified. The farmers are required to strain the milk into these cans thru double, fine wire strainers, that are always thoroly washed and sterilised. Bnt this is Vet­ ting a little ahead of the story as we wit­ nessed the process Coming from the farmers in these closely covered, sterilized cans, the milk is taken into the receiving room and samples taken out for testing. The milk is then emptied into a thoroly cleansed and disinfected storage tank aud iirom thence it«4f conveyed to the separators, which are circular in form, made of steel in the shape of a turbine wheel, in which revolve fans on central shafts, at a speed that will be best understood by the statement that it is at a rate of two hundred and twenty- five miles an hour, if applied to rail­ road trains or automobiles. After pass­ ing thru this clarifying process the milk is again conveyed into another great circular storage tank, in which paddles revolve on a central shaft, aerating and agitating the milk to pre vent the cream from rising to the top, From this tank the milk is conveyed to the bottling apparatus. The bottling is an interesting process, but first we fol­ low the glass receptacles that come back in the boxes from the different stations for refilling. These are placed first iu the supporting clutches of great wheels revolving in narrow tanks of hot water, containing some effective washing BP>wder. By this process every particle of dirt is loosened or precipitated. Then the bottles, after a thorough soaking are placed over revolving brushes thru which streams of hot water are forced with close fitting revolving brushes on each side and this wheel is set to re­ volving in the narrow tank of hot water holding the same. From here they are taken out and rinsed in another tank and each bottle is inspected. The per­ fect bottles are then placed in great galvanized boxes resting on wheels and an iron cover tightly fastened over them and then wheeled into another room Here each tank is connected by the means of a short pipe and hot, live steam turned on, at as high a pressure as practical. This process takes about half an hour and until disinfection is considered perfect. The bottles remain in these tanks or boxes, covered, until wanted for filling. They are then plac­ ed in light crates, containing a dozen bottles each, that are put on a narrow track and run under the filling ap­ paratus. This is worked with a lever and the milk flows into the bottles. When the bottles are full the crates are shoved forward on the track where men stand ready to put on the bottle covers. The covers once on, the crates slide forward again and each bottle is taken out and examined. If there is any defect in the cover, Buch bottle is set to one side and the perfectly covered bottles are rinsed on the outside and placed in the shipping boxes, which have been thoroughly washed in an ap­ paratus for the purpose. Every pre­ caution is taken against dirt. The ceil­ ing and walls are covered with corrugat­ ed iron and' painted. The floors are made of iron elates set in cement and thoroughly flooded with hot water and washed every day. The cream that is sold is kept separate from the milk, bandied and bottled in like manner, and with like care. The skim milk is sold"to the farners. We were somewhat surprised in regard to the buttermilk made by the Borden company, as we had always supposed that buttermilk was a by-product remaining after the butter has been churned and taken out. This is not the case with Borden's but­ termilk. It is made from pure milk and it is highly recommended by phy­ sicians as a health food, especially for those who have weak kidneys or any kind of kidney trouble. The milk is conveyed to a tank in a separate room, scrupulously clean and kept close and at the proper temperature for maturing. It is then conveyed to a great, square churn and set in motion until the curd thoroly broken and then put into bottles ready for shipping. The care exercised by J^ie Borden company does not end at the depot. There is a field inspector for the farms and dairies from whence the milk is bonght. We had the pleasure of meeting the local in­ spector for this district, Mr. Frank Block, a wide awake thoro-going man, and visited one of the nearest dairies or supply farms, some two miles out of the town, and saw the healthy appear­ ing cows standing in rows fastened with stanchions. The floor of the barn was ol cement with proper gutters, light And ventilation. A separate room is provided for the cans as they are re- i turned from the bottling plant, on one side was a tank of pure water, into which the cans are set for cooling when filled with milk freqh from the cows. The milk is strained as explained thru the fine double wire strainers that are fitted tightly over the cans. Each can is closely covered as soon as filled and cooled. This cooling tank is supplied with a running stream of pure, cold spring water. The farmers are requir­ ed to "maintain cleanly conditions and are urged constantly to adopt the best methods in the care of the cows and use the feed that will produce the beet milk. The cows were not housed, as used always to be the case, in the stone basemet, but on the floor above the basement, high and dry, with good drainage and ventilation, abundance of light and air. Evidently the teachings of the company, as to proper, healthful, sanitary conditions as being necessary and most profitable in the end, are be­ ing followed. The superintendent and the other rep­ resentatives of the company whom we met, were found to be courteous, straightforward, conscientious, careful- thoro going men, whom it was a pleasure to meet and to know. We felt that the company that had inaugurated and continued, at great expense, so cleanly, and sanitary a system, for securing and guarding the purity of milk, deserved mnch praise. No other company has taken greater, if equal, precautions and there is not one iota of proof that the plans followed have been otherwise than successful. We confess that our interests in the matter of milk gathering and handling has been aroused by what had been printed in the papers ̂ bout infection thru the milk and w* wanted to be shown and that was what made the visit to this particular Borden com­ pany's country station, from which Ravenswood is largely supplied, the more interesting, though no charge had been made as to any inspection from there. The Clinique, one of the oldest and most reliable medical jour­ nals in Chicago, now in the twenty- eighth volume, said in its February issue, speaking of the Borden's Milk company: "There is no company of the kind which has done more for the pub­ lic in this respect." Its specialty has been cleanliness and purity, and this has been evident in its various dairies, inside aud outside, from one part of the country to the other. No one has ap­ preciated this more than the physicians, and for that reason it is natural for us to protect the good name of a company which has been unfortunate in this instance--that is, having one of its de­ pots in a section where scarlet fever prevailed, placed under a ban from the mere possibility that the infection might have been caused from milk gathered, in all good part and with the greatest care, from the farms and daries of that region. It was pleasant to find that all the good things said by this medical jy^thorty, the Clinique, with regard to Borden's Condensed Milk company--one of our most highly es­ teemed advertisers, for whose reliability, as well as for the reliability of all the advertisers in this paper, we feel a personal responsibility--were wholly true and easily demonstrable to any one who would make the investigation. Besides the milk depot, we visited the boat factory at Rosedale and examined many varieties of elegant boats and yachts, and the conservatory ait the same place, where some splendid car­ nations were obtained and a local store where souvenirs of the bay and Mc­ Henry were secured, but the dairy or milk depot proved by far the most in­ teresting by reason of the conditions that have existed. ••Pneumonia's Deadly Work had so seriously affected my right long," writes Mrs. Fannie Connor, of Rural Route 1, Georgetown, Tenn., "that I coughed continuously night and day and the neighbors' prediction--consump­ tion--seemed inevitable, until my hus­ band brought home a bottlfe of Dr. King's New Discovery which in my case proved to be the only REAL cough cure and restorer of weak, sore lungs." When all other remedies utterly fail, you may^till win in the battle against throat and lung troubles with New Discovery, the REAL cure. Guaranteed by N. H. Petesch, Frank Masquelet, McHenry, G. W.
