Artificial Butter.

1t has long been known that
butter is manufactured for the
London market from any refuse
grease that can be obtained, but
tits only recently that the man
ufacture Of butter from tallow
has been attempted in this coun-
try. The process is very sim
pie one, and consists in maxi
ing an emulsion of tallow oil by
aid Of sour milk, and coloring
it with little annatto.
The operation is as follows
Fresh beef suet is hashcd fine
and tLcn rendered in open
tanks, by means Of steam heat.
The clear fat is drawn off from
the top Of the tank and allowed
TO cool in large vessels. BY
slow cooling the fat crystallizes,
and The more solid margarine
and stearine separate from the
oleine which remains diffuscd
through the mass. The semi
solid mass is then put into cot
ton bags, as in the ordinary pro-
cess for the manufacture Of lard
and tallow oil, the only eXcep-
ton being that rather more at
tention is paid to Cleanliness
These bags, which hold about
two pounds each, are then placed
in a powerful press which eX-
| presses the oil. As it flows from
the press, the oil is clear yellow
in color, tasteless, and without
odor, if sufficient care has been
used in its preparation. The
residue in the bag is used III
making candles. Thus far there
is nothing new i'll the process.
The oil is placed in churrs
with one-fifth Of its weight of
sour milk. and chmned until an
emulsion is formed, sufficient
annatto having been added to
give it the required color. Ii
is then cooled down and worked
and sailed like ordinary butter

one third Of its weight Of wa

An unfavorable year should al
ways be profitable one for good
farmer; then he is to make money
if ever. In favorable years crops
are abundant and prices are low.
With rich, deep plowed land
drought need not be feared, and
average crops can be grown which
will bring two prices. 1t is the
good farmer only who ever makes
money.

Do You Hear the CryP

The Prairie Farmer of the 81
inst. begins its leading editorial
in these words: DIN Chicago
the past week ten thousand men
marched in procession to tue
City Hall, with cries Of "brcad
or blood!' though their leader
demanded Of the City Council
employment on the projected
municipal improvements, or lc-
lief from the city treasury, or
from the large charitable fund
in the hands of the Relief and
Aid Society" In bringing so
much Of the lower stratum Of
Europe on the cry of "bread or
blood" into our republican bo-
som, we may have received more
than we bargained for. The
Farmer says;
"Nowhcle in the land has
there been failure OF crops. wide
spread pestilence or other dire
disaster, to cause a scarcity Of
food or a loss of labor. The
ware houses are bursting with
grain, the railways are blocked
with trains of beeves and swine
and wheat and corn, in transit

of the land. Food and raiment
are comparatively cheap, AMI fu-

THE PRESIDENT AT CINCINNATI.

According to writer in one of the
Cincinnati papers this is the way the
President was treated in that city.
They let him be carted from the depot
to the hotel in disreputable omnibus,
as dirty and begrimed as only the public
conveyances of Cincinnati and Pittsburg
are;" and "when he wished to ride out
to the suburbs a horrible looking old
hack was furnished him, more suitable
for the tail end of an humble funeral
procession than the temporary accom-
mediation of the President of the United
States of America" Why, we treated the
Tennessee and Texas press associations
better than that, although they came
here on Sunday, when almost everybody
was at church. 1t is certainly not such
great thing to be President away from
home after all.

The FOOD Question.

The Shaker and Sharkeress puts the
case none too strongly when it says:
''The food question is soul question
A change of dietetics is change OF the
social system, for better or Tor worse
Hitherto all the changes made by Amer.
ians, as a people, have been from bad
to worse. To-day the young people are
commencing life with a dietary that old
people ought to be ashamed to die upon.
The stomachs of the young Americans
have absorbed and disgested their
physiological consciences. Superfne
-four and poisoned candies are the two
extremes, and there is not much wisdom
in the middle. 1t is exceedingly small
at the waist
Verify the middle" Of this subject is
almost as small as the waist of woman
who is not fit to be a mother. 1t the
middle" represents the wholesome
food as recommended in the multitudln'
GUS cook books extant, and the ends, or
extremes, their dietetic denominations,

The rate of taxation in the Southern
States is shown in striking contrast to
the 40 cents ad valorem imposed under
Democratic rule in Tennessee. The first
paragraph is as follows:
Let us, in conclusion, urge upon our
friends in all parts of the State thorough
and efficient organization. Let county
committees in each civil district be APP
pointed, and let them work with energy
until we have gained most overwhelm-
ing victory. All candidates who run
against the regular nominees OF the
party, and who are endesyoring to divide
our forces in these times of trouble,
should be regarded as enemies of our
cause, and treated accordingly. The
voice of Tennessee, if made in thunder
tones az the polls in November. may do
much toward averting the direful couse-
quences of the civil rights bill, meas
ure intended to destroy our liberties and
to blast our material prosperity.

Commissioners of Public Works to &C

Shaler says he has made up his mind
not to reside in Chicago permanently

of the fire department there until invited
to do so.
