On Tuesday, says the Baltimore Sun,
Judge Dobbin filed in the Superior
Court an opinion at length in the case
of the First National Bank, of Staun-
ton, Virginia vs. the Potomac Railroad
Company, garnishee of the Petersburg
Railroad Company, and McIlwaine &
81 'ws, claimants of property attached,
Juu 20 Dobbin decides that mortgage
by = railroad company of cars or other
property not then in existence, but af-
terwalds created or acquired by the
company, is valid.
A number of cars Of the Petersburg
Railroad Company, claimed by Messrs.
McIn waine & Brown, under deed of
trust, were attached by the plaintiff
for = debt of $4,000. The decd of trust

Mr.. Willard has written letter to
the London Agricultural Gazette on
the state of the cheese trade in the
United States. He says the wisest fac
tory managers have sold their product
regularly through the season, at the
best attainable price, while others, o..
peoially in Canada, have piled their
shelves with large quantities "to await
the chances Of a most unpromising fu-
ture." He regards present prices as
below the cost of production, and the
stock on hand as enormous
There is now in this country a mass
of cheese which is stranded, high and
dry, above the existing trade current.
1t Is this summers make which must
prove such sad loss to producers.
There cannot be less than $50, 900 box
es now lying in the several dairy re-
gions. This amount seems just about
the maaspra, of.thia Jssasoa' . .eYar;pS;a:
to week is sufficient to the demand.
What will become of the surplus is q
question. If any one can think of any
use to which he can put 1t he can OBJ
tain the material cheap. I have spo.
ken of the disasters which have come
to some in the trade, There have been
number of failures among dealers
in dairy products, although have yet
to learn of q house which has fallen
directly through the decline of cheese
The failures have come from launching
away from the dairy, and taking poor
chances on grain and hops. Those who
have clung to the dairy have not made
anything. but they have generally been
too cautious to take very great risks.
There Is, however, In the interior con-
siderable distrust of the New York
dealers, and the New York dealers In
turn assure us that the shippers are
possessed of no property, and are liable
to go up at any time. OF course the
dissatisfaction in the trade leads each
of the classes handling cheese to look
with distrust upon the other classes,
and the result is decentralization and
discomfort all around the box.
All the items in the present outlook
seem to declare that the season of 1874
marked the close of an epoch in Amer
lean carrying. Up to that time it was
going on prospecting and to prosper.
This year marks the climax and the
reversing. Hence 1t will build up
again. Next year there will be an inn
provement, because those who will fly
from the ship this fall will tighten it,
SO that it will float on next years de-
mand. 1t is not pleasant to think OF
the farmers who embarked this year
with bright hopes on tue enlightened
practice of dairying, hoping for share
of past rewards; but trade laws are in
exorable.

1t gives very strong presumptiye evil
dence. The common trick by which 1t
has frequently been attempted to dis
credit this instrument, Is to skim the
milk, add little water to it, and then
offer 1t for testing. Here the hydrome-
ter will fail, since 1t is capable only Of
showing the specific gravity, and the
specific gravity of skinned milk is
greater than that of whole milk. A
little water may be added to il, and
then II will show the same specific
gravity as whole milk. SO distillery
or brewery slop milk may be unadul-
terated, yet the hydrometer will indi-
cate specific gravity as low as one
thousand and twenty-seven, which in
J the milk of farm fed cows would raise
the suspicion that little water had
been added.
The use of the hydrometer in testing
milk for adulteration is this: 1t at
once raises reasonable suspicion that
water has been added, when the n.y.
drometer shows less specific gravity,
the milk being at sixty degrees than
ten hundred and thirty. Reasonable
suspicion is not certainty, yet the rea-
sonable suspicion which the nose gives
that skunk has been around, is not
greatly increased, in an intelligent
mind, by the sight of the animal. So
II Is with the hydrometer test of milk
If the milk delivered to cheese facto-
ry Cor any other milk customer)
shows by the hydrometer, at sixty de-
grees of temperature. less specific
gravity than Ten hundred and thirty,
something Is certainly wrong. The
milk may be watered, or the cows may
be sick, or they are being fed with fer
mented slops, which will soon make
them sick.
But it must be borne in mind that
cream may be stolen from the milk,
and little water added, yet the by.
drometer will not detect the fraud. So
that in addition to the hydrometer, II
is necessary to use milk tubes to test
the richness Of the milk In cream. II
the percentage of cream Is steadily
much less than that of other patrons of
the factory Tor, in the case of private
consumers. if the amount of cream Ii
comparatively smalD, fraud by skim
ming may be reasonably inferred.
In this article we have given the de-

the hydrometer. But the cheese fac
, tories and other milk buyers frequent
ly used special instrument. called 8
, lactometer, which is more coarsely
| graduated and upon the scale of which
, twenty corresponds to ten hundred
} and thirty on the hydrometer scale.
A final point ought also to be noted
} in order to avoid misconception or mis-
construction. In testing o cows mill
f by the hydrometer, the whole produc
: of a milking must be used, from which
, TO take the sample to be tested. 1t Il
we'll understood by dairymen that tn,
first drawn milk is poorer than tn,
last drawn at each milking. For quib

The Centennial.


How the Patrons propose TO EnjOy II at a
Small Cost.
The secretary OF the Pennsylvania state
grange has issued a circular relative to q
projected Patrons centennial eucampment,
for the entertainment of members of the order
and their friends who visit Philadelphia
next summer. The outline Of the plan Il, TO
procure sixty or eighty acres OF land short
distance from Philadelphia and erect there
on substantial board tents and furnish them
with all articles necessary for comfortable
lodgings. Bosrding-tents to be located ut
convenient points to accommodate those who
cannot bring their provisions with them.
Railway trains will stop at the location and
will be run at suitable hours to carry pas
sengers to and from the centennial grounds.
The camp 10 be furnished with good water.
lighted at night, and under the superinten-
dence Of an efficient police force. In the
ceoter Of the grounds large building is to
be erected as a grange hall and reception
room, containing the offices Of the associa-
ton and good fre-proof safe to contain
money and valuabes Of visitors at the CEN
tennial board and lodging not to cost any
one over $500 per day for sef.boarders
the expenses will be much less. A tempo
rary association has been formed and q char.
ter applied for under the name, Z" Centennial
Encampment Association Of the Patrons Of
Husbandry" Capital stock, $3.50, 900 /;
number of shares, 300; par value of each
share, $50. None but Patrons to be allowed
to take stock, and only one share each. This
will prevent speculation and keep the asso-
citation in the hands Of the Patrons. There
is no doubt but that the stock will pay u
handsome profit, aud great favor will be
conferred upon the Patrons who wish to
visit the Centennial. The temporary officers
are, preside, t, DIR NJ. Steck, master of
grange No q Lycoming county; Treasurer,
Townshend Walter, postmaster, No go,
Chester county Secretary, r. II. Thomas,
secretary of Pennsylvania state grange,
fredericksburg, Pa. AS the time is limited
for carrying out the enterprise, immediate
action must be taken. Should grange con-
clude to take share, have it subscribed in
the pane of the master for the use Of the
grange. aud notify the secretary of the asso
citation under the seal Of the grange. The
stock could all be sold in Pennsylvania in a
short time, but it is deemed advisable that it
be distributed among the oranges in differeat
states and thus encourage them TO attend the
centennial.

Buying for Cash.

ii. W. Long, 4 master Of Florida grange,
has been talking sense on this subject in this
wise "If we adopt q cash system, our
merchants can furnish US our supplies at a
profit Of twenty-five per cent, and supposing
that we purchase our annual supplies in
twelve equal installments, our merchants
could operate on one-twelth OF the capital
required under the present system. If We
take the farmer who purchases one thousand
dollars worth of supplies annually from his
merchant, who makes profit Of fifty per
cent by paying cash for his supplies, at a
profit Of twenty-five per cent to his mer.
chant, we find that after adding interest to
his purchase money, his supplies for one
year cost him sS69.44, which is an annual
saving of S13319.
A farmer dealing upon the above specified
basis can purchase seventy-hve per cent Of
his supplies direct from the producer at as
low rates as his merchant does, which
amounts to five hundred dollars per annum
on that amount, with interest added--in a
business Of seven years, amounts to one
thousand and eighty.iv dollars. BY re.
captivating this calculation, we find that
the farmer dealing under the present system
has lost during the past seven years the sum
Of S2,9S3.32. BY paying cash, at profit
of twenty-five per cent will save 81, 1919.
BY buying seventy-6ve pei cent Of his sup.
plies direct from the producer, will save in
seven years, 1855 Amount total of losses
in seven years, s5,lll.5l. Thus il is
shown that the honest farmer, who had the
capacity to estimate his ability to meet his
liabilities when due, and who needed annually
one thousand dollars worth of supplies,
which cost the merchant S660.662, has act
ually lost during the past seven years the
sum OF s5,l1l.5l.-[ COlmau's Rural World

Patron. Keeping Faith with Dealers.

a resolution that their attempts TO establish
business relations favorable TO the pecuniary
interests of the Patrons, abe and arc hereby
regarded as an important secret of the Order,
and any member who shall willully reveal
or ia any way make known to any person
not Patron the name or place Of business
OF the firm or manufacturer or individual,
with whom the grange committee has rela-
tons, beAnd is herebyregarded as having vio-
lated his obligations aud is subject to expul-
sion." Complaints Of the above character
have come TO US so direct that We cannot
question them. The state agency has suf-
fered by the revelations of thoughtless or
designing members Of the Order who have
revealed its special arrangements with deal
ers and manufacturers aud special terms
have been Withdrawn both from the agency
aud oranges. The national executive com.
mittee have been compelled to withhold
names of dealers from members Of the oranges
aud communicate them only to the agents.
The business interests Of the Order must be
protested and sacredly kept as committees
and agents pledge dealers to withhold from
the public their special agreements and dis
counts. We, as members Of oranges, pledge
our sacred honor to keep such special terms
as we receive. The oranges should hold
their members TO strict regard Of their
word aud when broken inAict the seysrest
