BUILDING A CREAMERY.
A Wmw hnadM. Coue.rnlna tmafw
awl ef th« JSaehlu.ry.
Since the creamery question ia being
I agitated perhaps a few pointers on the
building and tha arrangement of the
I machinery may not be arnlaa.
The first move should be to find a
suitable location. At first thought ibis
j might seem to be sn easy matter. The
J site is very Important, however. It
[ should have pure air and sunshine—
nature's best and chespestdlsinfectants
| —and be free from any surroundings
I that would be likely to taint the atrnos-
I phere. Put It far enough from stables,
1 shops, and from tha railroad, that the
moot may not be a nuisance.
I Good, purs water is indispensable,Just
sa necessary as pure air. No one can
make good butter without it. Few peo-
ple are careful enough about the source
of their water supply. With the sur-
rounding surface saturated with im-
purities, It cannot be otherwise than
that a part of it finds its way into the
well, unless the greatest precaution is
used to prevent it. The building should
be located high enough to insure per-
fect drainage. The drain should te
carried several hundred feet under
ground from the factory, before it is
allowed to come to the surface. No
drain is complete without a "trap.”
The plant should be as centrally lo-
cated as possible, but not too far from
the shipping station, if the product is
to be shipped. The best site is at a sidc-
hlll, so that the weigh room can be at
the east side if possible. It will then be
sheltered from the cold winds in winter.
The driveway should be graded high
enough to allow the milk to (low from
the weigh can Into the receiving vat. If
the vat can be placed above the level of
the separator it will avoid the pumping
of the milk.
The more convenient everything 'a
arranged the fewer persons will be re-

quired to operate it and the less the
expense will be. if 1 were building a
creamery for myself I would build the
churnrooin in a sub-basement, making
the excavation about 6 feet deep, which,
with an 8-foot wall, would permit the
uae of plenty of windows for light and
ventilation. The idea would be to se-
cure as even a temperature as possible
the year round. It is very necessary
to have a cool room in which to churn
and work butter in hot weather. It
is a very difficult matter to make good
butter in a room where the temperature
rises to 80 or 00 degrees.
In the diagram VV is the scales and
weigh can, on an elevated platform,
from which the milk runs through u
conductor into the receiving vat, R V,
and from the vat into the separator 8.
From the separator the cream can be
conducted into the cream vat, C V.
Ch is the churn and li VV the butter
worker. U is the boiler, which should
be y4 or more larger than necessary
to supply the engine (E) on account
of the extra steam needed. F is a coal
bin and O an office. An icehouse and
a cold storugo room can be attached
at the north end (N) if needed.
The steam and water guage should
be so placed on the boiler as to be in
sight of the operator, through the open
door, while running the operator. The
roof on the building should be fireproof,
to lessen the risk; the insurance will
be less also. Any competent carpen-
ter can construct the building und fit
the interior. It is entirely unnecessary
to employ a regular creamery con-
tractor, and perhaps pay double price
or more. Better employ a competent,
disinterested man who understands
creamery work to superintend the build-
ing. The cost will be less and the
work more satisfactory. Sometimes
•econdhand machinery that has been
used but little can be bought very lew,
compared to new; as the machinery is
tlie greatest expense, it would reduce
the cost of the plant very much.—O. J.
Vine, in Ohio Farmer.
WINTER PRECAUTIONS.
TtMij AffviM as« teggsstloas u» Ns>
ffrsssftvs Dairyasoa.
In the production of milk, whether
for market, for home consumption or
for butter, it U of the first importance
that it be produoed from healthy stock
fed on wholesome feed and pure drink*
and in healthy surroundings. I fat nay
time any cow should show evidence of
disease she should be separated from
the herd at onoe. Further, that the
utmoet cleanliness be observed In the
care of the cows, of the stables and the
immediate surroundings, and especial-
ly that the milking bo done and the
milk handled prior to bottling or ship-
ping so as to prevent, as fur as possible,
any foreign substance from being In-
troduced therein, says the secretary of
the New Jersey board of agriculture in
his address to dairymen. Be careful
also as to leaving milk in open vessels
exposed to foul uir of any sort, as it is
a quick absorbent of bad odors and dis-
ease germs. Otherwise it may become
the means of spreading contagious dis-
eases. Further, ail persons who liavo
the care of cows or of the milking ves-
sels and who do milking should be free
from consumption and other conta-
gious diseases, as such diseases have
been commuuicated to others through
milk thus handled.
As to the stock: If you raise your
own dairy, breed from healthy parents.
If you purchase stock, have them care-
fully examined by a competent veterin-
arian, und especially as to the condi-
tion of the udders. Stables should
so constructed as to be light. Many
stables are deprived of the needed light
and sunshine. Both are germ-destroy-
ers. A southern exposure, if possible,
with cows on the sunny side, with
plenty of windows (not holes in the
sides with a shutter); provide these
with inside shutter or curtuin of some
coarse muteriul to prevent cold at night.
Ventilation must be sufficient to supply
a necessary quantity of fresh air ail
tlie time, but avoid draughts. No ani-
mal should be fastened in a staihunder
a constant current of air, but it is not
necessary to freeze an animal in a |k»oi*
stable in order to have fresh air. Give
the cows room; not necessarily a wide
stall, hut room back, front and over-
head. Liberality in the use of lumber in
dairy stable construction will pay
large profit in the health of the dairy,
other things being supplied.
Stables should be cleaned regularly
every day. A light sprinkling of gyp-
sum (land pluster) in the gutters aft-
er cleaning will assist in absorbing the
foul odors and aid in preserving the
valuable plant food in the manure.
Feeds, fodder and drink should l>e
given regularly and he of such char-
acter as not only to contribute to
profitable yield of milk, but also to the
health and contentment of the animal.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.
There wu a time when it cost n little
fortune to buy a good bull, but the time
1. not now.
Keep up the milk flow. Once n
shrinks It. can never be restored untii
after the next calf is dropped.
An exchange recommends linseed oil
In place of Epsom salts. That is put-
ting linseed meal about where it tic-
longs, in the list of medicines.
While striving to make the cow com-
fortable don’t forget that the calf that
Is to develop into a good cow must be
kept comfortable this winter, too.
The nose of a feverish cow is hot, and
when that is the case a dose of Epsom
salts will often be all that is necessary,
except that the rations should be less-
ened.
A well-known dairyman declares thut
he gets two dollars for every dollar's
worth of grain that he feeds iu summer.
It is pretty difficult to get a better in
vestment than that.
Is South Dakota some of the cream-
ery companies propose to hold dairy
schools in the schoolhouses. If any
such schools are in your neighborhood,
by all means attend them.
Would It astomsh anybody If we
should say that millions of dollars are
wasted Ih the dairy by unscientific feed-
ing? We believe it. The farmer jnn

tems.—Farmer's Voice.
frames should be made of 3x3 sticks 4
feet long. Mortise them into each other
18 Inches from the lower ends, making
the manger angle 35 degrees. For the
troughs use 10-ineh boards 1% inches
thick, l’lace the buck trough board be-
neath the legs as shown in the cut.
They should join at tlie top, at the
point marked T. Tlie outer wings of
the troughs can be put on as in making
un ordinary V-trough, only that the
lower edge of the one will have to be
beveled somewhat. Care needs to be
taken that the outer board of the trough
does not project far enough to invite
sheep to stand upon It and eat over the
fop of the rack.
The manger is boarded tightly from
the top down to within 6 inches of the
bottom, this forming the feeding space
through which they must eat their hay.
The troughs below catch all the fine
particles and the refuse. The manger
may be made of lighter boards. The
rack may be made any length desired.
Troughs of this size serve well for feed-
ing ensilage and roots.
The objection to this rack is that it
Is very heavy and does not serve very
well for feeding corn stover either

After a most diligent inquiry I can
find no merchant who handles Ameri-
can butter. Several years ago it hud
some foothold In this market, but at
present there appears to be no demand
for it. The reason assigned is its poor
quality. One dealer tells me that good
margarine is preferred to the imported
product, and sells for more. Another
says that if America wishes to establish
a large trade she will have to send only
the finest quality of centrifugal cream-
ery butter, this is the quality that Den-
mark and Sweden are sending, and be-
cause of the Improved methods of mnk-
ingand superior and uniform quality it

Of nil the people who have entered
his division of tiie Wayne eireuit court
since hisaeeession to t he bench.it is not
probable that even one has even dimly
Imagined that Judge Robert E. Frazer
ever played baseball. IIis breadth nnd
girth are not suggestive of tlie nimbler
divisions of athletic sports, and he
doesn’t look like a bail player. There
are, of course, surprises upon tlie dia-
mond as well as in other places, and
after one lias seen Cherubic Childs, of
Cleveland, bounce around second base
it requires but a trifling stretch of the
imagination to picture the judge
sprinting around tlie bases.
Tie told about the first and only regu-
lar gume in which he ever appeared.
He had long' been a recognized profes-
sional at. round ball and three-old-eat,
so when the county officials of Wash
tenaw challenged the city officials ot
Ann Arbor to a national game, marquis
of Chadwick rules, lie admitted to the
captain of tlie Washtenaw team that
Prosecuting Attorney Frazer could bat
a ball out of the county, and stop a siz-
zling daisy-cutter that was leaving a
comet’s tail behind It. He. was im-
mediately signed for shortstop.
“Perhaps I ought to explain,” said
the judge, “that out in the country
where I used to play ball we had no
umpire, and never heard of sueli a per-
sonage. We used to decide all ques-
tions of play ourselves, and when there
was a serious difference of opinion we
had it out right on the spot and the side
that got whipped was in the wrong.
On the whole I think it was better than
the modern umpire, for it was soon
over, was satisfactory and there were
no protests to vex the. board of appeal
Pretty soon after the game commenced
1 noticed a fellow hanging around the
plate und having a great deal too much
to say; but I stood it until I had been
to bat, made a hit, but was caught be-
tween two bases anil put. out.
“ ‘You’re out!’ he yelled at. me
“I knew it was out,and I was not par-
ticularly well pleased at. the knowl-
edge. To be told of it by a meddling
bystander was rather rubbing it in,
and I walked up to him at once.
‘Look here, young fellow, you are
having altogether too much to say
about this game. You’ve been stick-
111 g your nose into other people's busi-
ness ubout long enough, and if
open your mouth again I'll—’
“I was interrupted by one of the
other players, who told me that the
meddling fellow was the umpire. I’ve
seen many an umpire in u tight place
since then, but I never saw one wtio
came, so near being licked.”—Detroit

MONDAY.
The senate opened ita seaelon today
(Feb. 4th) at tha usual hour.
Among the bills favorably reported ,
was the granting a pension of $200 a
month to the widow of the late tien.
Walter (J. Gresham, and filOO per month
to the widow of the late Gen. Thomas
Ewing.
Mr. Teller gave notice that ha would
all up tomorrow the military academy
appropriation bill, which he reported
back.
Mr. Allison reported back the pension
appropriation bill, and said that he
would ask tha senate to take it up at j
an early day.
Mr. Uoar (r) of Massachusetts re-J
ported back the bill prohibiting the j
desecration of the American flag, lie,
said he did this merely to get the sub-
ject before the senate, and he doubted
the advisability of such prohibitions
and believed it should he left to indi-1
vidual good taste and judgment.
There was another lull in the routine 1
at l o'clock, and Mr. Quay again sought
to secure consideration for a resolution
recommitting the tariff finance bill
with instructions to report the original
bill and amendment as separate propo-
sitions. Mr. Quay asked immediate
consideration for the resolution, but
Mr. Hill again objected and the resolu-l
tlon went over under the rules until
tomorrow.
At 2 o’clock there was a maneuvering
to advance various measures.
Mr. Ilale asked to take
gency deficiency bill.
Mr. Call, of Florida, sought to have
reports from tha committee on foreign
relations, made special order.
Mr. Dubois wanted to take up the
plan of distributing appropriation bills
among the several committees.
A vote was finally taken on Mr.
Hale’s motion to take up the urgency
deficiency bill, and it was defeated—24
to 45.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
THURSDAY.
The senate convened today (Feb. 8)
at the usual hour, with a full quorum
present.
The Catron anti-prize fighting bill,
which passed the senate today, prohib-
iting prize fighting
up the ur-
thera with boll fights, and some Mill

Mr. Knox (r) of Massachusetts, ob-
jected and the bill want to the com-
mittee.
lfr. Henderson (rap., Iowa), chair-
man of tha committee on judlcinry,
then reported the Cntron bill to pre-
vent prize nnd animal fighting in tha
District of Columbia and the territo-
ries. He explained that the bill had
been considered by the committee on
Judiciary, and amended to meat the ob-
jections of Mr. Knox.
The bill was than poised.
Adjourned to tomorrow.
" FRIDAY.
The house today (Feb. 7) convened
at the usual hour.
Tha president’s message, transmit-
ting to the house the report of tha Nic-
aragua canal commission in response
to the house resolution, was laid be-
fore the house.
The night session for tbe coaaidera-
tion of private pension bills was dis-
pensed with in order that the bond bill
might be proceeded with to-night.
An arrangement was reached for
closing tha debate on tha bill at the
close of the day on Monday, and the
house in committee of the whole re-
sumed tbe consideration of the bond
bill.
Patterson (d) of Tennessee spoke in
favor of non-concurrenca, and deplored
the fact that a great economic problem
had become the football of politics.
Broderick (r) and Bowers (r) closed
the debate for the afternoon.
No business of importance transpired
at the night session.
House adjourned to tomorrow.
SATURDAY.
The house met this morning (Feb. 8)
at the usual hour with a quorum pre-
sent.
The legislative day of yesterday still
continued, as the house had been in
recess over night.
The bond bill discussion was then
resumed.
Corliss (d) of Michigan and BoatDer
(d) of Louisiana spoke in favor of non-
concurrence, and Milnes (r) of Michi-
gan and Bartlett (d) of Georgia in fa-
vor of concurrence.

"Witness,” said he contemptuously,
ly. With this
ties, executive, judicial, and, if neces-
sary, military, will be invoked to see
that the prize fight is stopped. No
promulgation of the new anti-prize
fight law will be necessary. The law
becomes operative from the moment it
is signed by the president, and all per-
sons must, at their peril, ta ke cogni-
zance of its commitment. Indeed, it ia
well established law, as laid down in
the settled opinion of the United
States supreme court, that any person 1
violating its provisions on the same
day, but after the hour in which it ia
signed, would be liable to all penal-
ties of the aot. It is usual in public:
aots to include a provision that the law
shall not take effect until a certain I
number of days after itB passage, but
such provision v/as expressly excluded
from the Catron act, for the reason
that it was an emergency law, special-
ly designed to stop the Fitzsimmons-
Maher and ojher bouts scheduled in
the Stuart carnival. j
Tbe authorities, in advance of ths
law’s signature, will not say what
course they will take to prevent its
violation, but express absolute confi-
dence that the fight will not take place
on United States soil after the act is
signed by the president.
The governor ot New Mexico is in
hearty sympathy with the movement |
to break up the fights.
FRIDAY.
The senate was promptly opened
today (Feb. 7) on time.
Mr. Frye (r) of Maine was unani-j
mously elected president pro tem of
the senate today, the vice president
being absent from the city.
At 2.15 p. in. the resolution contem-i
plating a reform in handling appropri-
ation bills by distributing them among
“the democratic scenes daily being en-
acted in Kentucky. When did it be-
come a democratic doctrine to defeat
democratic candidates?”
"The situation in Kentucky,” replied
Mr. Boatner, “only illustrates the de-
stroying effect of democrats refusing
to stand by their party platform. If
the silver democrats would abide by
the declaration of the party made
convention we would not today be
threatened with the loss of a senator
from that state.
At noon the house went through the
formality of adjourning and reconven-
ing, and debate on the bond bill then
proceeded.
McCreary (d) of Kentucky and Hep-
burn (r) followed in favor of the non-
concurrence. The latter said the re-
publican party was the only party
that, by its deeds, had shown its friend-
ship for silver.
“Are you willing to restore free coin-
age of silver?” asked Mr. Livingston
(d) of Georgia.
“Yes,” replied Mr. Hepburn, "when
you restore the conditions that existed
in the days of the dollar of the dad-
dies. Then 412 grains of silver were
coined into a dollar, but silver was
worth 81.29 an ounce,”
In concluding, he ridiculed these
“bewildered democrats who denounced
the attitute of Mr. Cleveland." “No
democrat,” said he, "has been more
consistent, more closely adhesive to
his announcements. Before his first
inauguration he declared against the
silver heresy. In all his utterances
since he has adhered to that position.”
House adjourned.

The honse commenced its session to-
the several committees was taken up, \ (Feb- 10) «t the usual hour.

WKDNKHDAY.
The house met today (Feb. 5) at the
appointed hour.
The debate on the free coinage sub-
stitute for the house bond bill, was
scheduled to commence today, and
there was a good attendance in conse-
quence in the galleries. The session
opened with an attempt to pass a bill
to stop the "pugilistic festival" billed
to take place “near El Faso, Texas,”
on February 14.
Mr. Catron, the delegate from New
Mexico, asked unanimous consent for
the consideration of the bill. He ex-
plained that it was not possible that
the preparations for the series of fights
now going on Dear El l’aso could take
place there, but was to occur in the
territory of New Mexico,
within three miles of El
The desk of Wm. H. Crain of Texas,
who died early this morning, was
draped heavily with black when the
house reconvened, after a recess over
Sunday. On the desk lay a beautiful
bunch of white hyacinths, lilies of the
valley and roses. Mr. Crain was serv-
ing his sixth term in the house, and
his death came as a shock to his col-
leagues, many of whom did not know
he was ill.
The debate on ths bond bill proceed-
ed until noon, when the legislative day
of Saturday expired. The house im-
mediately reconvened.
The blind chaplain referred to Mr.
Crain's death in these words:
"We hear with profound sorrow of
the death of one member of this honse.
Our hearts, our sympathy, go ont to
those who mourn hit loss, and pray to
thee that thou wilt comfort them as
thou alone can do. Help us all to be
ready when tbe summons may come to
us, in Christ's name. Amen.”
Mr. Sayers (d) of Texas then made
the formal announcement of the death
of his colleague and offered the usual
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted. A committee, consisting of
Messrs. Pendleton and Crowley of Tex-
as, Kyle of Mississippi, McDearmon of
Tennessee, Milnes of Michigan, Leon-
ard of Pennsylvania, McCleary of Min-
nesota and Murphy of Illinois, was ap-
pointed by the speaker to accompany
the body to Texas, after which, at
which was! 12-14, the house, as a further mark of
Paso. Tha ' respect, adjourned until tomorrow.

Countesses have been seen begging
on the public streets, and even an Eng-

police for mendicancy and vagrancy.
But France enjoys the distinction of
having produced the first duchess to
be arrested on a charge of begging. She
Is the duchess of Albufera, whose hus-
band is a grandson of Napoleon’s field
marshal, Suchet, and herself a grand-
daughter of that duke of Cambaoeres
who, after acting as Bonaparte’s col-
league in the directorate and in the
consulate, was afterward made arch-
chanoellor of the empire. She had
been speculating in South African
mining stocks, and when the boom
collapsed the other day she found her-
self with such heavy losses to face that
ruin stored her in the face. 8he be-
came temporarily insane, and, con-
vinced that she had reduced herself
and her family to absolute beggary,
she started out upon the streets to ask
alms. She is now under the care of
nurses. Prince Del Dargo, who was
here to attend the marriage of Miss

Is at length about to be placed in easy

keeping a huge chest full of valuable
correspondence and papers belonging
to old Queen Christina, and which she
declared to be of so compromising a
character to her contemporaries that
she insisted that the box should not be
opened till the year 1910. It is possible
that when they are made public they
will throw light on those many myste-
rious stories current in court circles
in times gone by with regard to her
secret marriage with a young English
painter while still princess of Naples
and prior to becoming the consort of
King Ferdinand of Spain. According
to several of these stories, Empress
Eugenie and her sister,the late duchess
of Alba, were the fruits of this secret
marriage and were confided by Queen
Christina to Comptess de Montijo, her
first lady in waiting, to bring up ns her
own children. Queen Christina was
unable to write or even read when she
came to Spain, and her ignorance was
something appalling. But she rode in
the most superb fashion and excelled
in all athletic exercises. This was due
to the fact that she hud as governess an
English woman who, prior to becom-
ing governess to the three princesses
of Naples, hnd been a circus rider and
was a sister of that, stable boy, Ward,
who, entering the service of the duke
of Lucca, rose to be Baron Ward, gen-
eral and prime minister, his daughter
being the beautiful Marquise Hervey

Parisian society.—N. Y. World.
WHY DOGS ARE INTELLIGENT.
Stupid Member, of the Family Were For-
merly Retrii by Tlielr Meiteri.
Prof. N. S. Slialer, of Harvard uni-
versity, in his study of domesticated
animals, advances this theory in re-
gard to the dog, which explains in a
large measure why the best traits of
the dog have been developed. The dog
of the savage could not have been a
cultured creature. He hail not been
long enough associated with man to
subdue his native impulses. The dog
hunted for his master. When game
was plenty, man and animal had
enough to eat. But when game was
scaroe the savage ate the dog. To-day,
when in u state of famine, Eskimos will
eat some of the pack. But choice is
exercised then. The strongest, or the
most affectionate, or the most Intelli-
gent animals would be spared. The
weaklings, the cross, tie stupid dogs
would go to the pot. “In this way,”
writes Prof. Shaler, “for ages a careful,
though unintended process of selection
was applied to these creatures” and to
this we may fairly attribute, as many
considerate naturalists have done, a
large part of the Intellectual—Indeed,
we may Bay moral—elevation to which
dogs have attained.
In his clever study of the dog. Prof.
Shaler, looking more particularly to
the Instinctive traits of pointers and
setters, speculates as to how long these
hunting animals have shown their
peculiarities when scenting game.
Some theorists have advanced the Idea
that the actions of the dogs, as pointers
or setters, can only date back from the
Invention of the fowling-picce. It is a
mooted question among those who have
carefully studied firearms which served
for sport whether Spain was not the
first country using the fowling-piece.
Now, curiously enough, tradition seems
to indicate that the early pointer—the
dog with an exaggerated split of the
nostrils—was originally Spanish, and
that from Spain the breed traveled
northward. If the Idea be entertained
that the pointer appeared with the
use of the fowling-piece, the particular
specialization of the pointer only be-
gan in dogs removed by some 30 genera-
tion* from those of to-day. Those who
advocate this ingenious theory do not
bear in mind the dogs which must have
been used in hawking, and hawking is
of the most remote antiquity^—N. Y,
