COOLING MILK.

After describing new machine for cooling
milk, by which cold air is pumped into the
milk, and alludng to the unwilingness of far
mers to assume the labor and trouble neces-
sary to cool their milk when in hurry to get
1t to the factory, the Rural New Yorker says:
The matter should be made compulsory on
all parties delivering milk. Hot weather is
now at hand, and until the last Of August we
are likely to have vast deal Of second-rate
cheese simply from inattention to the treat
ment OF milk before it arrives at the factory.
1t has been demonstrated repeatedly that
the cooling and aeration of milk at the farm
and as soon as drawn from the cow, puts it
IN condition to keep sound for much
longer period than when no such treatment
Is had. 1t has been repeatedly proved that
during the carting of warm milk to the factory
it decomposes rapidly, and not unfrequently
in hot weather, becomes putrid and rotten.
Floating curds are the result of such milk,
and all could have been avoided had the milk
been cooled and aerated as soon as drawn
from the COW. To charge the manufacturer
with the fault of floating curds and poor
cheese under such circumstances, is unmit-
igated abuse, and yet we not unfrequently
hear Of cases of this kind, and where the
patrons have resorted to law to compel the
manufacturer to make good the loss on such
cheese. We believe that cheese makers should
be held responsible for their work when they
have good material to handle; but to compel
them to bear the loss on rotten milk caused
by neglect of patrons, is not much better than
robbery, to say the least.
| No one but those who have had experience
in the manufacture of bad milk can appre-
ciate the vexation in the manipulation and the
trouble the curds and cheese will sometimes
give. If fpatrons could have realizing sense
of this side of the question, they would be
the more ready to adopt means for improve
ment.
Again; every factory that sends out i'll
favored or defective cheese, not only loses
in reputation and in money receipts, but by
throwing such goods upon the market, the
sale and price of fine cheese are more or less
affected
The great variety of apparatus now to be
had for cooling and aerating milk, its cheap
ness, and the benefits which accrue from its
use, demands a more general introduction, it
would seem than it now obtains. We hope
factory men and all others interested in the
improvement of American cheese dairying,
will urge forward this movement, for it is
one which can be adopted at once with profit.

that the humorist is not with me to COM
ment upon this startling discovery of q
new and painful youthful habit.
/ Then we went into the reception room
or parlor, and saw the elaborate antique
table desk, opening in the middle-a
Washington relic indubitably-and then
into the bedroom where he slept, the Office
where he wrote, the dining-ro in which
he ate, and looked at the glass in which
he shaved. AS no one ever saw Washing
ton with beard, and as his habits were
methodical, perhaps this insignificant bit
of furniture is most characteristic and
notable. There was not, perhaps, much
to see. You will find more elaborate old
furniture in modern drawing rooms; I
have stood i'll more spacious and charac-
teristic colonial dwellings,. 1t is far un.
like the Cambridge headquarters in which
Longfellow is set as precious .jewel-but
in its scant decoration, in its faded and
economic gentility, in its quiet, stern, url-
compromising asceticism, it is full of a
past, past entirely its own, the Spartan
period of the Revolution. The genius of
the place descends upon you as you stand
there. Even in this gracious June sun
light you shiver and turn cold. Gaunt
faces peer at you through the windows;
there is the echo of uneasy, discontinued
footsteps in this hall, and yet through all
pathetic patience flowing from one lone
ly selfcontained figure subdues and sad
dens every complaining beam and rafter
in the ancient house.
1t was at this window that the great
commander stood and saw the mutinous
Connecticut troops file past and clamOr
for the wages long due that he had not to
l. Il ~, HAT In
proud man, appealed to the already i'm
poverished Jersey farmers for a few more
rations for his starving men. 1t was at
this table that he wrote that pathetic let
ter to Congress- 1t was here that he was
"closeted cIosely' with Lafayette. There
was scant cheer in this little dining room
that winter. Yet here sat that young
West Indian, scarce turned of twenty,
Alexander Hamilton, whom Washington
in moments of rare tenderness called ''my
boy" and made recipient of his conf
dence. What a pleasant stall appoint
ment for gay young fellow Smallpox
in the distant village and famine in quar-
tiers. Here, too, sat the "Old Secretary"
as they called him-as methodical as
Washington and conscious of his ways;
and here the turbulent Sullivan, and Howe
in New York feasting and junketing and
only a river, dangerously filled with ice at
times, between!
And all this to be sold on the 25th Of
June to the highest bidder You can, as
you stand here in fancy, already hear the
auctioneer's hammer. The setting sun
from without looks into the western win
dows, lingering fondly, ms well it may,
over the old house IL knows so well-and
on whose like it shall never look again.
1t steals little higher toward the peaked
gable. Going, going. There is glory
on its roof for moment, and it is gone.

Grinding Edge-TOOls.

EpGETOoIs are fitted up by grinding,
very much as plank would he reduced
in thickness were a large plane employed,
in which were set hundred or more
very small gougcs, each cutting narrow
groove. The sharp grit of the grindstonc
being harder than the iron or steel, cuts
very small channels in the surface of the
metal, and the revolving disc carries
away all the minute particles that are de-
tached by the grit If we were to ex-
anime the surfAce of tool that has just
been removed from a grindstone, under
the microscope, it would appear, as it
were, like the rough surface of a field
which has recently been scarified with
some implement which formed alternate
ridges and burrows. Hence, rs these
ridges and burrows run together from
both sides, at the cutting edge, the newly
ground edge seems to be formed of sys-
tenn of minute teeth, rather than to con-
sist Of smooth edge. For this reason,
tool is first ground on coarse stone, SO
as to wear the surface OF the steel away
rapidly; then it is polished on wheel OF
reduce the serration as much as possible,
milestone of the finest grit must be en-
ployed. This gives cutting edge having
the smallest possible serration. A razor,
for example, does not have perfect
cutting edge, as one may perceive by
viewing it through Il microscope. And yet
the serrations are actually SO much small
er than the human hair that the minute
teeth cut the hair In twain; but when the
serrations on the edge Of the razor become
so battered up and dull that they will not
sever hair, or cut mans beard OIL, the
edge must be honed and strapped until
the system of minute teeth will be so much
smaller than hair that several of them
will take hold Of the smallest hair at once.
These suggestions will furnish something
of an idea of the operation in grinding
and whetting edge-tools.
Beginners are sometimes instructed,
when grinding edge-tools, to have the
stone revolve toward the cutting edge,
and sometimes from it. When the first
grinding is being done, it is matter OF
indifference whether this is done or not;
but when the finishing touches are applied
near and at the very edge, a grinder can
always complete his task with more accu-
racy If the periphery OF the grindstone
revolves toward the cutting edge, as the
steel that is worn away will be removed
more easily; whereas, when stone runs
in the opposite direction, the grinder can
not always tell exactly when the side OF
the tool Is fully ground up to the edge.
This is more especially true, when the
steel has low or soft temper. The stone,
when running from the edge, will not
sweep away every particle of the metal
that hangs as a feather" but when the
stone revolves toward the edge, there will
be no "feathered edge" to deceive the eye
of the grinder-Pactfc Rural Press.

California doctors know all about the
Darwinian theory. They had meeting
in San Francisco the other day, and ac-
cording to the Chronicle, DIR. Hudson, OF
Oakland, made few remarks, from
which we select the following statement:
"For instance, you take the common
omorphoza, and you will all notice that
in short time it becomes perfect stram-
atopra, and then you will see that the
change to an oleaginous athanthaspongia
is only matter of time. Faint ap-
plause. Now take the class Of malacas-
traca, or even the graptolidea, and its de-
velopment to a crachiopoda is as certain
in its conclusion as the passage of regu-
lar bryozoa into fall-grown and perfect
Informed cephalapoda. Loud applause !
Now, then, having once established this
fact, the conclusion is by no means q
hypothetical one that blastoidea can in
the same manner become an echinoder-
mata. Can the most skeptical deny that
this conclsion il true one in every re-
spect? Enthusiastic applause.] Then
why cannot an articulated mollusk, by =
similar process of development, in time
become q lamellibranchiata?'

not tell Ilc--thCrc Is absolutely no con-
nection in nature between the two,' and
spoil the boys Of their little fun!' And
SO left him muttering, with look in his
eye as il he were even then celebrating q
humorous account Of my visit, based en-
tirely upon speculation of my character
and bearing every external evidence OF
greater truth than my own narrative.
But here was the house. A canny walk
and gentle ascent under few old trees
led to the porch. On that bright day OF
yellow June its hard outlines and scant
decoration were somehow lost in the gra-
cious atmosphere. The door stood open,
and entered ut once spacious hall
almost the only indication OF the dignity
of its former occupant. 1t divided the
mansion east and west, and through rear
door as large rs the front gave view
upon descending lawn and orchard, and
simmer of the Whippany river in the
lower distance. "In the hottest day in
summer" said the gentle hostess, "there
is always q breeze through the hall"
Surely nature, at least, was not fOrgetful.
1t was pleasant to think that when the
fervent July sun scorched the elaborate
pink and blue tiled roofs of the modern
villas i'm the avenues yOnder that the
mountain breezes from those wooded
heights that he had made historic, loved
to meet and play and linger here. "Dur-
ing his time the door was never shut"
continues the lady, like pleasant Greek
chorus, shut always open, as you see."
Was it the Virginian habit still strong, or
military necessity? Think of it in that
memorable winter Of ~, when the ther-
mometer stood below zero for weeks, and
the Hudson river was frozen over at the
battery! Yet ] am somehow thankful

TEE 4th of July was celebrated in the
good old way by our Germans only. the
fremen and militia company marching
to Washington Park in the forenoon,
where an impromptu oration-and the
! best we ever heard-was delivered by
Mr.. Esslinger; several fine pieces of
music were played by the members of
Prof. Bieling's Musical Society, and the
companies returned to Turner Hall just
in time to save themselves from the
severe rain storm which had fastened
their departure.
The Railroad excursion to Appleton
and intermediate stations was well pat
ronized, principally by Americans, and
the participants declared themselves well
pleased with the days enjoyments.
An ice cream and strawberry festival
was held in the Methodist Church,
instead of the park, on account of the
rain. This entertainment did not prove
quite satisfactory either to those who had
undertaken it or to those who tried to
make it pleasant
The German militia and fire companies
aud other citizens had a pleasant after
noon at Gerpheide's and a grand ball and
supper at the Turner Hall in the even
ing our fellow-citizens from Bohemia
celebrated the day by speeches, reading,
music and dancing at the hall of the
Slovanska Lipa. Thus each one enjoyed
independence Day as it best pleased
him or herself, and all the different en-
tertainments passed off quietly and to
general satisfaction.
The excursion on the lake to Center
vile was prevented by the rain-storm,
but the one to Two Rivers in the after
noon was a very pleasant affair. The
Two River Chronicle speaks of it as fol-
lows
"About fifty couples from Manitowoc
city paid Two Rivers a visit ON the 4th,
having ''eXcursed htheI on large scow
arranged with seats around its entire
length, and shielded from the sun by
groves of young trees fastened to tl4e
sides and ends, while the roof was made
by stretching large sail over the whole.
The scow was towed by Jonah Richards
tug, the Kitty Smoke, accompanied by
the City Brass Band, which discoursed
music for the dancers. The star span
gled banner mingled its folds with the
dark green of the improvised forest,
made the party present a gay appearance
ance as seen from the pier. The band
after landing at the pier, proceeded to
the Park on Washington street and play
q a couple of pieces in patriotic honor
q the flag streaming from the liberty
pole. After exchanging civihties with
such of the citizens OF Two Rivers as
enjoyed the pleasure of this unexpected
meeting, and being admonished by a
rising sea to hasten their departure,
they returned to their city homes with
out accident, none but the seasick ones
denying that it had been a pleasant af-
fair.
