Chatauqua County Creamery.

A friend sends the following account OF
a Chatauqua county creamery which may be
of use to the dairy interest Of this section.
The milk is brought to the factory twice
every day, the mornings milk standing twen-
ty.four aud the nights twelve hours, when
all is skinned. The milk goes first into
weigh can, from thence into a small vat to
partially cool, is drawn from this vat into
pals eight inches in diameter by twenty-four
deep and then set in vat nine by twenty
feet containing sixteen inches Of cool running
water The cream when taken off is set in
a vat five by nine feet where the cream is
regulated for the churn. The last named
vat is used exclusively for cream. A barrel
churn nine feet long and three feet in diam.
eter is used, propelled by five horse power
steam engine. Forty pounds Of milk is TAX
en- for one pound of butter in the early part
of the season and less milk as the sea-
sou advances. Four cents per pound for
making is paid, everything found. Price
paid at the factory from % to Al cents per
pound.
The cheese product of the factory is as
follows: Cheese is made from the milk skim
lucu as dDONe sldleuS Jue DuttoIiulh uOiuB
! mixed with the milk and the whole set for
cheese in the ordinary way. Eleven pounds
Of this milk make pound of cheese in the
early part of the season and ten pounds as
the season advances. The cheese is sold at
the factory at sixteen days old, average price
l0t cents. Sl.s0 per 100 lbs is paid for
making cheese, everything found by the max
er, who also owns the factory and all the
furniture. This creamery pays It's patrons
s1,4l per 100 pounds Of milk, while whole
milk cheese factory in an adjoining town is
paying its patrons 81 IL per 100 lbs. The
creamery cows net its patrons from S45 to
$50, the other from $50 to $40. This is
the account for 1873 for both butter and
cheese, as the returns for 1874 are not COM
pleted but they will be better than for 1873
A skillful manufacturer is required to make
q creamery a success. This creamery cost
about $4,000 and took the milk Of 700 COWS
in 1874. The building is 80 by 100 feet

Baron Liebig.

Since tho much-amented death Of the
celebrated German chemist the details of his
life have been treated in great number OF
essays and articles published in the most in
Huential organs of the press, both Of Europe
aud America, by wel.iniormed and compe-
tent authors. Therefore, somewhat closer
consideration of Liebigs influence upon agr-
culture and physiology will perhaps command
a larger aud broader interest than the repe-
tition of mere biographical notes One
point ought never to be forgotten, whenever
Liebig's efforts and achievements are being
judged-the difficulties he had to overcome,
wnen preparing himself for his later brilliant
career, were by far more serious than is now
generally believed. Only in consequences OF
his patient and persevering investigations
aud those Of other distinguished scholars, the
science Of nature aud the instruction therein
have been raised to their present high stand
ard, and made easily accessible while forty
or fifty years ago, young men of high genius
aud noble aspirations were literally depressed
and crushed by the insuihciency OF physical
and chemical instruction. Liebig himself
had to suffer greatly, and often spoke with

Milk Pans.

A great improvement in the manufacture
Of butter is being made by the introduction
Of patent milk pans large enough to hold
one milking from dairy at a time, and by
means of metallic cooler in which tho pans
are set water is introduced to cool the milk,
and in this way it is claimed tnat much
m ore butter aud Of better quality can be
made and three-fourths of the labor saved.
The leading pan at present and the one
considered best adapted to all tho require
ments of the dairy is the compartment milk
pan, manufactured and sold by W. o. Camp
bell & Co., Of Richford, who are the sole
proprietors. This pan has only been manu-
featured for two seasons and their orders for
the past season have been SO numerous that
they have been obliged to enlarge their facil-
tiles for manufacturing them. One par
ticular advantage that this pan has over all
others is that it is divided in such a manner
that it can be adapted to any quantity Of
milk, and therefore be used at all seasons of
the year with large or small quantity of
milk, and still kept at desired depth. The
corners in the pan are rounded and the bot.
tom slightly inclined toward the outlets,
facilitating the drawing of of the milk and
cleansing of the pan, and the arrangement
of the joint faucet in the cooler for regula-
ting the depth of the water is so simple that
they can be managed without the slightest
difficulty.
This pan has always taken the highest
premium wherever 1t has been on exhibition
in competition with the other kinds. 1t was
at the Vermont dairymen's association aud
Vermont state fair of 1874, and at the lat
ter place was awarded not only the first
premium but also diploma and a silver
medal. About 100 sets of these pans were
put in in Franklin county last season, which
is considered one of the best butter counties
in the United States. The vast difference
which is made in prices between extra and
fair quality of butter makes it an object for
dairymen TO be properly prepared with suita
BILE utensils. LEO.
IraSJurgh, Jan. 8,
We think our correspondent puts it rath'
er strong. There are good many pans il
market, and good judges find it difficult tc
decide between several Of the best. LEO
may not have tested all the other pans thor
oughy, or may be prejudced. While W.
consider the Rchlord pans among the bes
we have no doubt several others belong il
the same class. Ed. FARMER

THE THREE STUDENTS.

Three students there TO the Rhine and crossd oe
They paused at the landady's hostelry door.
"Say, hostess, hast plenty of wine and good cheer,
And where is thy daughter so fair aud 50 dearw
"My wines, they all of the coolest and hest
My daughter has gone to her heavenly restn
In sorrow they entered the chamber and there
Lay the maiden so still, and in death how fair
The first then drew back in sorrow her veil,
And mournfully gazed on the face pale.
"0h vert thou still living, sweet maiden" saidShe,
GAS long as life lasts, so longrd love tn ee 20
The next gently lifted the veil to It's placej
Then turned him away, tears believing his face.
"Alas that thou Hest cold on thy.bler,
I've loved thee for many and many year."
The third like the first gently lifted the veil,
And kissed her upon her lips so pale.
"Thee loved l ever, thee love | to-day,
And thee love l only forever and aye"

THE VILLAGE STREET.
FURNISHED WEEKLY.
at ST. JOH.VSBURF, VT.

Busy, busy village street,
Where the days with day do meet
Meet and make an one-day year,
Each to leach is like so near!
Change nor untoward happening
DO the drowsy day times bring,
Dulled with long exchange, Is played
The close life-game Of tho trade"
Beating with an iron peat
Midway in the village street
Heart Of sIeel to hamlet-breast -
both the little smithy rest;
Rough stone building, swarthy meat,
With its window hower-drest
Breath Of life this heart-pace too
For the villages lazy hum
Hear the bellows deep-drawn sound
When with plneered piece they come
Ancient structure, "village store"
Pieced, platformei, AMI fashioned o'eri
Who may guess its first design
Now from any old-time sgnl
Steady, on a summers eve,
Going, coming, stopping nigh,
Idling ones and buyers real
Cluster round or lounge near by.
Nesting backward from the way,
Roomed with wares in near display,
Little space the ofhsc holds
For such wealth it there enfolds
Wealth Yea, word-wealth, richer pay
Than the mint Of metal moulds,-
Undiscovered, guarded worth,
Kept till its respective claim,
Dingy pss.-roOm, dear TO all
Who have friends and Christian name
Plain and large the tavern stands
Save sign In flaring bands.-
Ample porch stretched all around,
And with pillared roof enerowned.
Here are shaken friendly hands,
And Is heard the gossp's sound.
Fast asleep the summer through,
Guest nor boarder to Its fare,
See the "vllage tavern" stand,
Basking in the heated air!
Still see the village street,
Busy, busy, village street
Though the time ia not anear,-
When the days and days do meet,

The @aag Ar4gynsl,

That was most characteristic little
performance of Senator Logan, of Illinois.
yesterday;in the. senate. He frst get the
senate to authorize the continuance on
duty during the recess of the clerk of, the
senate committee ON military affairs" for
the purpose, as be said, lofpreparing GER
tain new articles of war to be submitted
Ito the senate in December next >, This
having been done Logan learned that by
a law the clerk could not receive compen-
''sation for services rendered during the
recess" and thereupen withdrew his
proposition. Now it is on the face OF il
absurd to suppose that any modification
Iof the articles of war; at all likely to be
by any man in his right
mind could possibly occupy the tune even
of clerk of a senatorial committee from
March to December. But it is perfectly
we'll known in Washington that under the
Radical regime clerks and committee
rooms have gradually become the personal
conveniences of the Radical chairmeD OF
committee. There is at least one COM
mittee of the senate, as we have been as
sured on high authority, which was virta-
ally created for the purpose of providing a
certain conspicuous and i'll hammered SEN
ator, intimately allied with the White
House, with a private secretary and prl-
vate Office in the capitol building. This
committee, we believe. has never held SO
much as single meeting ID the room de-
ssignatcd for that purpose, there being. in
fact, nothing whatever for it to meet
about The chairman of the committee
carries patent key of the room 10 his
pocket; and has had it neatly fitted out
with a toilet establishment of his own,
The clerk is generally known as his pri-
waite secretary, and if he earns his salary
10 any way earns it in that capacity.
What Logan wanted simply was TO have a
private secretary of his own paid for out
of the public purse during the recess.
When he found that this could not be had
he discovered that the ARTICLES of war
would perfectly well bear waiting tor a
few months longer. and the senate which
had promptly obliged him when he made
his proposition, obliged him again as
promptly when he withdrew it.-N. T.
