One such difference cited .by' Mr.

ica. Because of numerous .transfers
of shipment and lighterage in the
shallow, harbors jolla qt paper must
be protected by wooden shooks. Paper-
not so protected arrives damag
ed, causing dissatisfaction and loss.
Domestic packing, Is adequate, for
east coast shipments.

Modern equipment and alert busl
ness method were found by Mr. Bar
rett in his investigation of newspa
pers and printing offices. ..In. Buenos
Aires alone there are thirty-three
daily papers,-' of which 4 eleven are
printed in foreign languages, four In
Italian, two each In English, Ger
man and Syrian and one-la -French.
until tnree years- ago, ntus news
was received from the United States,
but closer relations between the two
continents and the growth of 1 the
Pan-American idea hare caused a de
mand for American , news which' Is
being, met by increased cable serv
ices. The South American papers
"hate a more serious tone than those
or the United Seate. "Features 'are
a rarity and the comie supplement
unknown, hot novels of literary value
are printed in daily installments., so

Cable dispatches received by some
papers are posted on bulletin boards,
where they , may be compared with
the despatches - as printed, to show
that the news-Is genlune and'Wss
given the public without "padding."
Scare heads virtually, are unknown.
Magnificent buildings house' many

building is a fencing room, reminder
of the days when the code duelle was

milk la obtained. t. The value ot 100
pounds of sldm milk Is sometimes
considered equal to that of half a
bushel of corn. With the high prices
of feeds it Js therefore des'rable to
feed ail the skim milk possible. High
testing cream makes possible more
of this valuable feed. s
The production of ' h.. stlng
cream alao-eaves money for the f arm
er whV ships cream. When cream
tests 20 per cent It will cost 2 cents
a pound 'butterfat to shjp 50 pounds
of, it, if, the express, charges amount
lb 20 centi. 3 When the cream tests
40 per cent It will cost but 1 cent a
pound butterfat to ship 50 pounds;
for; the total charges will not be af

on t ransportatlort charges and should
b given careful consideration by 'the
