''any reduction in the taxation can be eff
elected if Budgets year after year show
"a deficiency The surplus in the Treasu-
cry is always pointed at by the Govern
"ment,------
sat all events it appears to us to be a bad
"polioy, and contrary to sound rules Of
political economy to reckon on an accu-
"mulated fund to cover ordinary current
Expenses"
We are sorry to find that no change has
been made in the situation since last year
what was said then may be said now the diff
ference is this, that the Governments promis-
es have grown a year older; but have we APP
preached nearer the time to see hem fulfilled?
We do not see the use of proposing such
small re~trenchments as, according to the Colo
NAL Law, we will be allowed to vote on under
the money-bills, as this would not lead to re-
ducing the expenditure to what it ought to be,
so much the more so, as the Draft of the Bud
get has been laid before the Council at SO late
a time, that the first discussion only took place
in the middle of The month Of April, so that
about two months of the present financial year
will have passed away before the Draft can be
finally adopted. We will therefore refrain
entering into details, but submit to the O0un-
Gil to address to the Government the following
requests
Ito lay before the Council as soon as pos
slbIe Drafts of Ordinances to remodel,
reorganize, and simplify all Branches of
the Administration, as we'll as the system
Of Taxation, in order to be able to reduce
the Taxes.
40 lay before the Council as soon as pos
sible a Draft to amend the Ordinance OF
May 9Th 1872 for regulating the military
Force, as this Ordinance imposes on this
community a pecuniary burthen, which
it is not able to bear.
The amendment we will propose for the
adoption of the Council is
ad Revenue 6. Balance of the subsidy grant
ed by Law 6 h March l869-$23 ,633.00, to be
struck out.
IF this amendment be adopted It will be ne
cessary to make a gcctiication in c. 4. "inter-
est on Capital invested $24s0.00." Accord
ing to the remarks to ,ba Budget this item In
cludes two amounts ;-$l20O.00 and 1912. 90
the last named amount, and part of the first
named, are interest on the Capital Of this sub.
sidy.
According to what His Ezoeli3noy explained
during the first discussion there will have to
be deducted $4,000 entered by an oversight,
so that we may put doWn the item to $4,000
instead of 52490.00.
The total amount of calculated revenue will
thus have to be entered with $40, 1850.

once. The second and third stories are
used for drying rooms, and are furnished
with proper frames for that purpose. The
drying rooms are not darkened, and yet Mr..
Ellsworth informed us that they had never
been troubled with flies. His theory is that
perfect cleanliness is the best way to pre-
vent trouble from flies, and the building has
been arranged with view to this. The
mandatory is furnished with five horse
power steam engine which furnishes the
heat for forming the curd and pumps tho
water.
Each mans milk is brought in separate
dishes and weighed, and strict account
kept Of the number Of pounds furnished.
An account is also made Of every pound Of
cheese made, and each patron of the factory
gets number Of pounds of cheese propor-
tionate to the number of pounds of milk
furnished, the factory charging three cents
per pound for manufacturing. Milk is
brought in as far as five miles, but the av-
erage Of the greatest distances from which
it is brought is about two and one half miles.
The patrons choose man to sell their cheese.
and have so far chosen Mr. Ellsworth, who
has sold all the cheese made at the manu-
factory without charge. The plan seems
to work we'll and to give perfect satisfaction.
There were made at the factory, during
the past year, fortyseven thousand pounds
of cheese. The proprietors are Messrs E.
Ellsworth and Geo. West. Mr.. E. was
formerly in business at Cannon Falls. and
had previous to coming west, been &C.
quainted with the cheese business, and fire.
quently urged the Importance of cheese
factory, 50 when he sold out his business
interested parties urged him to take the
initiative.
Mr. Z. lives in very neat farm house
near the factory, keeps thirty COWS of his
own and takes charge of the factory.
Why can we not have more Of these
cheese factories? Cheese at the present
prices is Of at least twice the profit of but
ter, and by means Of it's manufacture, the
keeping of COWS will be made more profita-
bic and farmers be enabled TO add to the
variety of their products. Our farms
would be the better by keeping more stock
on them, and there is certainly no
sense in shipping our rough feed to the
| east, and then importing our cheese. The
building Of Touring mills is reducing the
price of feed and this will be an additional
reason for making arrangements to keep
more stock

making preparations to produce splendid

will also contain short histories of towns

How They Drop Shot.

A reporter of the Baltimore american thus
describes one of the many processes OF max.
ing shot in one of the shot towers OF that
CITY: One of the "secrets" of the manu-
facture is the mixing of the lead with GER
tain nronOrtion of a combination OF mineral
substances called temper The temper
is fused with the lead, and gives the molten
metal that consistency which makes 1t drop;
If it were not for the "temper" the lead
would be moulded by the sieve, and would
form little pencils instead of round shot.
Wher "BB" shot, for instance, are to be
made. the lead is poured into pan per-
forated with holes corresponding with that
size
The little pellets came pouring down IN a
continuous shower, and fall into tank
filled with water on the ground floor. In
their descent of two hundred feet they be-
come perfect spheres, firm and dense, ana
they are tolerably cool when they strike the
water, although the swift conclusions make
the tank foam and bubble as it the water
was boiling furiously. The shot must fall
in water, for if they would strike any firm
Substance they would be tlattened and
knocked out of shape. To get the little pei
let's perfectly dry after they have been in
the awell" is the most difficult and trouble
some process of the whole manufacture.
An elevator with small buckets (very
much like those used in flour mills) carries
the shot up as fast as they reach the bottom
of the "well," and deposits them in box
sixty feet above the first floor The water
drips from the buckets as they go up, and
not much is poured into the receiver above,
although it is intended to be sort of drip
ping machine. From this receiver the shot
runs down a spout into drying pan, which
greatly resembles gigantic shoe, made OF
permits the wet shot to roll slowly down to
the chamber below, and the pellets become
perfectly dry as they pass over the warm
