the milk. 1t has been already remarked
that different parts of it rise unequally.
The larger globules meet with less resist
ance i'll proportion to their bulk than the
smaller ones, and hence they get to the
surface soonest. The smaller the globules,
the slower they rise; and some of them
dwindle down 20 such minutcness that
they would not rise through three inches
in week, if the milk could be kept
sweet that length of time. Cream will
continue to rise till the milk gets thick,
be that short or long. The best part rises
first.
If milk is skinned every twelve hours,
and the cream of each period churned
separately, the products of the first period
will be the highest favored and
the highest colored, and the
color, quantity and flavor, of each
successive skimming will diminish to the
last, but the keeping qualities will grow
better. The 4th and 5th skimmings will
be quite pale and insipid, but can be kept
sound long time. Where high flavor
ed article is desired, it is not advisable to
continue the process of creaming too long.
What will rise in forty-eight hours, at
sixty degrees, on milk four inches deep,
is all that is generally profitable to sepa-
rate What comes up after that is SO white
and tasteless as to do more injury, by de-
pressing the flavor and color, than it can
do good by increasing quantity.-Canada

Correct Way to Sweep Carpet.

There are three ways to sweep a carpet
one right and two wrong ways. One
wrong way is to hold the broom nearly
in front OF the operator, with the handle
inclined backward toward him, then
press down as forward thrust is given
and thus heave the heavier dirt half way
across the room while the light particles
are sent whirling about, covering as it
settles, every article offurniture. Another
wrong way to sweep a carpet is to move
the broom forward with heavy, drawing
stroke, by which the material to be re-
NOV ed is pressed into the carpet rather
than worked gently along on the surface.
If either of these wrong ways is adopted,
the broom will wear out the carpet more
than it is worn by the occupants of the
dwelling. When sweeper collects IL
dust-pan half full of the nap of the carpet
every time it is swept, Il new one will
soon be required.
The right way to sweep is to incline the
handle a little forward, then give light
drawing stroke, allowing the broom to
scarcely touch the carpet. Not one-half
the weight of the broom should he allow
ed to press on the carpet as the dirt is
moved forward. Let the dirt be moved
and rolled lightly. If generous
quantity of tea grounds, small bits of wet
paper, or clean and wet sawdust can be
spread over the carpet before the sweep
ing is commenced, all the fine dirt will
adhere to the wet materials. By using Il
good broom, having a long elastic brush,
touching the carpet lightly, it will scarce

to sweep carpet correctly.-Science Of

Milk for butter making should be
cooled, not to make the cream rise faster,
but to prevent SOuring, and other changes
which would hinder the cream from get
ting up. The highest point at which
these changes can be stopped, or held in
check long enough for the cream to come
to the surface, is the point to which milk
should be cooled. Every degree it sinks
below that point hinders the Dreaming
process, and prolongs the time necessary
for the milk to stand in the dairy house.
Not to reach that point is to make the
milk thicken before the cream is all up,
thus diminishing the yield. The great
majority of experimenters agree in put
ting that point at sixty degrees, but varia-
tions that reach from five degrees above
to five below are made by some parties
with very fair success.
The common error in private dairies is
to allow the milk to he too warm in hot
weather. The cream will not rise per
fectly in either case, and the resulting
butter will be imperfect. The loss sus-
tanned in failing To get all the butter that
Il given quantity of milk is capable of
making is much greater than is generally
suspected. Few farmers know how
much milk they are taking to make "A
pound of butter. They seldom weigh or
measure, or even guess, at the quantity
they are using. From what we have seen,
and from facts gathered during IA series
OF years, it appears that twenty-eighf and
thirty lbs usually required. Where
the facts could be got at, the amount has
varied all the way from thirty-four down
to twenty pounds. If the practice in
crcaming and churning could bc suddenly
made perfect as to get all the butter
from milk thai is capable of yielding,
every fifth cow could he thrown out of
the dairy, and the same quantity as AT
present obtained If farmers would take
a little pains to know more precisely what
they are doing, such losses would not be
endured.
Creamcrics and butter factories usually
give us precise figures, but even they are
not always fortunate in showing the hap
picst results. In factories recently Wis
tied, the difference in amount required
for II pound of butter has run from
twenty-five to fifty.eight pounds, and this
difference is due, not to the milk, but to
the different modes of managing II. In n
future number the practical operations OF
butter making associations will be an
alyzed and the effect of the different prac-
| tices explained Comments are, therefore,
| omitted here.
There is no mode of raising cream so
! perfect as to separate all the cream from

Row Protection Protects.

A year or more ago when the tariff was
before pngress, the operatives of Pater-
son, j., permitted themselves to be
usef slgners of remOnstrance in the
naI.e OF Labor against any interference
with the duties on silk A committee of
the operatives actually went to Washing
ton to represent to Congress that the tariff
duties secur,d fair wages. Since that
time, poverty and destituiion have brought
them to a closer acquaintance with the
effects Of protective duties, and last week
there was a massmeeting of 500 silk op-
eratives at Paterson. They made speech
es, and finally, by an unanimous vote,
adopted a resolution praying Congress to
reduce the duties on silk yarns from 81 to
20 per cent. To understand this case it
is necessary to explain that the duty on
all silk manufactures is go per cent, and
on silk yarn or thread, 30 per cent. The
making of silk into this yarn is called
throwing" and those who do it are
"throwsters :" silk in cloth is called IMAM
ufacture," and the weavers are called
manufacturers The throwing and
manufacturing have until recently been
separate branches, but, during the last
three years, the larger establishments
have been throwing their own silk, which
they import free, and have thereby bro
Ken up the business of all those VINO are
exclusively engaged as throwsters, and
who previously supplied all the manu-
facturers. The thrOwsters, therefore,
have no trade except with smaller manu-
facturers who cannot afford to make their
own yarn. The large manufacturers, there
fore, by obtaining the raw material free
of tax, and throwing it themselves, are
able TO produce silk goods so much
cheaper than the smaller manufacturers
that the latter are no longer able to com
pete, and the whole manufacture of silk
Is passing as monopoly into the hands
of Cheney, of Hartford, Sterns, of New
York, and the four or i've establishments
in Paterson. Regarding the business OF
throwing silk as no longer one in
the interest of the laborers, the
operatives of Paterson allcge that
the duty on imported silk thread or
yarn is SO high that the smaller manufac-
turers are no longer able to purchase it,
and that thereby large number OF weav-
ers are thrown out OF emDloyment If
this duty were reduced, these smaller es-
Establishments could purchase the import
ed yarn and continue in business If this
duty were repealed, the silk weavers,
when out of work, could purchase the
yarn and manufacture on their own ac-
count.
Conspicuously displayed at the meeting
was The banner prepared for former oc-
casIOn, on which was cmblaZoned in gilt
letters, "Protection to Home Industry
and all the speakers, in referring to it, ex-
planned that Protection, in order to pro-
tect, should share its btnefits with the op-
eratives. They therefore demanded of
Congress protection from the monopoly
OF me protected classes, by an immediate
reduction of the duty on imported silk
yarns. The severity of the tax imposed on
the public in the interest of the silk man
ufacturers IS understood by few. 1t in

shades buttons, the endless variety OF
trimmings and ornaments which enter
into other manufactures, such as carriages,
harness, saddles, furniture, clothing, up,
holstering, and others. All these are taxed
60 per cent. in gold, in the interest OF Il
few establishments which get their raw
silk free and have crushed out the other
branch of home industry known as
sthrowsters," or spinners of yarn: In adj
dition to all this, they are further pro
tected by IA tax of 30 per cent on all goods
of which silk is a component part so
that no person in the United States can
buy any article made of silk without pay
ing bounty equal 10 20 per cent. OF lis
cost in currency, nor can he purchase an
article of cotton or worsted mixed Win
silk without paving like bounty of 90
per cent. in currency on its value.
1t may not be undressing to examine
what this business is, TO project which the
country is SO extensively taxed In 1870,
the following were the general results of
the whole business in the United States:

How much of the capital reported was
fictitious, we cannot say; but, allowing it
to be as stated, and all in cash, the profits,
after paying for material and wages, was
$245l SIT, or within a fraction of SO per
cent. The whole amount paid for wages
yielded each operative 1922 per year, or
less than an average of 81 per week each.
Contrasting the earnings of the human
being for whose benefit Protection is sup
posed to have been provided with that of
the capital, we find that every $500 of the
capital invested in the silk manufacture
earned 1895 in the year, being So more
than was earned by the men, women, and
children who performed the labor; or, in
other words, Protection has reduced labor
to a capitalized value of $500 per head, or
$292 per year, out of which it is to feed
and clothe itself. That is the way Protec-
ton protects. The operatives each repre-
sent the equivalent of $3.50 capital; and
now, since the panic, this has been re-
duced by the absolute discharge of one
half the operatives and the reduction of
the wages of the other half.-Chicago
