A DISAPPOINTED HIGHwAYMAN.
Most every one In these parts will
recognize the name of " Prospecting
Bill" and will appreciate the fol-
lowing story of his hair-breadth
escape from assassination on Satur-
day night. We give the story as he
told it to us. Bill says he had been
up 10 American Flat to draw his pay
from Calhoun, the section boss on
the railroad, and after receiving the
cash started TOR Silver City. Bill
tells his exploit in this way: eyer

The fascination that will lead man
on through desperation, step by step,
to the committal Of a deed like the
one in which this man has been al
most miraculously foiled, is danger
Gus one to indulge in. We do not

There is no difference morally or So
cially between the man who sits be-
hind the faro box and the one who
sits in front of it. Both are gam

THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
Has placed its seal of legality upon
the game. Its officers collect a heavy
license from each table, and the
Treasury is benefited in dollars and
cents. Every one must judge for
himself if the community does not
suffer enough from the effects of that
law to over-balance every pecuniary
benefit derived. 1t is most difficult
to discover the dividing line between
gambling and an honest business
transaction. SO difficult, in fact,
that we shall not attempt to trace it.
We sincerely hope we shall not again
be compelled to chronicle suicide

A BROKEN SHOULDER. - Charley
Thayer, until recently employed at
the Dayton mine, met with Il singular
and serious accident ON Sunday even
ing. He had just arrived at Mrs.
Coats lodging house, where he is
rooming, and as he was sitting down
on the stairs, he made miscalcula-
ton and fell to the ground, some six
or seven feet, breaking his collar
bone. DR.. Hall was called and put
the broken member into position, and
Charley is doing well. The accident
was singular one, considering that
intoxication was not the cause. 1t

around again.

LII has been suggested that milk-sugar can
be made by evaporating tho clean whey by
boiling in pans, in the same way that sugar
is made from the sap of the maple or juice
OF the sugaT-cane. The whey must be sweet
and free FROM albumen and oil, and. this is
easily effected, as obese impurities rise to
the surface on bringing it to boiling heat,
when they may be SKINNED off. An esti-
mate has been made of the annual yield of
sugar from thirty factories, averaging 400
cows each, and it amounts to the enormous
quantity of two million pounds. This, at
the low price of ten cents a pound, would
come to 100000. 1t must be evident that
the source OF income from the dairy would
be very much increased was some practical
and inexpensive method invented to take
this article from the whey. Whether evap-
Grating pans can be constructed, and heat
used economically in securing this object, is
a question for Investigation.
There is another importantant question
connected with the subject, and that is,
whether there is a market demand for large
quantities of milk-sugar. Doubtless, there
are other uses to which it could be put than
those now employed. 1t would be well, it
seems to us, if some of our inventive gen
JUS was turned in this direction for it
may be possible that there are ''millions in
it."-RMraL New Yorker.

MILK SUGAR.

A correspondent writes us to know if
milk-sugar is manufactured to any extent
in this country, and. whether whey from
cheese factories could not be employed for
this purpose.
Of the solid constituents Of whey, the SUI
gar of milk is in the largest proportion, be-
ing nearly in the same amount that it is in
the milk. Good milk contains about five
per cent. of milk-sugar, and the analysis of
whey shows that it yields about four and
one-half per cent, or half as much weight
of the sugar as the combined weight of the
hutter and caseine in the milk, We do not
hear of any manufactures of milk-sugar in
the United States, and we know of no effort
thai has been made to establish its manufac-
ture.
The ~milk-sugar That we find in the shops
is, for the most part, importedfrom Switzer-
land, and is often retailed at one dollar per
pound. In Switzerland it is made by allow
ing the sweet whey to trickle down wooden
cutters or troughs, placed on the sides OF
the mountains. Threads are placed in
the cutters, or troughs, upon which
the sugar containedin the whey adheres as
the watery portions passo of in the evapora
ton.

THE DAIRY DBPARTMEU Mt
TIE oLEoMARGARINE CHEESE Wac

THE 0LEOMARGAR1NE CHEESE WAR.
Now that the american Grocer has become
convinced that its battle cry y and warfare
against the Improvement Of skim milk
cheese by the Use Of o~leomargarine were
hasty and inconslderate, what have those
journals who took their key not from the
Grocer in denouncing this Improvement, got
to say? The Grocer, on learning all the facts
concerning oleomargarine cheese at the fac
tory at Mclean, under charge Of Captain
Gardner, has the good sense, honesty and
respect for fair dealing, to say that " from
all the weight of testimony adduced we are
prepared to admit that Captain Gardeners
Company makes a fair, honest, and plalata-
bic product of which they need not be
ashamed"
This admission is creditable to the Grocer,
and is in qnite as strong language as any we
have given in our account of oleomargarine
cheese. We are sorry, of course, to have
been held up in the columns of the Grocer
to the prejudice of it's readers in this matter
sorry to see our friends, Professor Cald-
well, Professor Wickson and others, stigma
tiZed for stating substantially what we
stated. Still the acknowledgment at this
late day in the discussion of its error goesfar
to ameliorate its farmer language.
We were satisfied from the first that this
war on the improvement of skinned cheese
was uncalled for-Was q wrong against pro-
gress in dairy manufacture which would in
time be discovered an rlghted. tits not the
.3rut fipoa yr-a hayra hoan dnrn11l1an6 for G tomb.
ing squarely up for progress in dairy manu-
features, but we have had the satisfaction to
see our ground maintained in the practice of
dairymen.
In conclusion, we heartily agree with
Professor Wickson, when he says: We
are glad the end has come of talking in the
dark and misrepresenting a thing that is not
understood. The thing is now a matter of
business, and the advantage which will come
to it from the fact that those who were once
its most bitter foes are low compelled, by
their own candor and sense of truth, to call
it fair and honest, will, perhaps, atone for
all the Misrepresentation which has unwit-
tingly been poured upon it. As we looked
upon the rush and tumult of uninformed
combatants we called upon them to show us
any fact of evil in it, and we would hit it
harder than any one else. But they only
answered us with cries that gained no war
rant in the facts as we knew them, and the
result is their acknowledgment that no evil
exists"
AS the matter now stands to-day the i'm
proyement of skim cheese with ~oleomarga-
rine is 6 fair, honest and palatable.' When
it ceases to be fairly, honestly and palatably
made, then we shall lead it that liyelydance,
tuned to types, which we mentioned recent,
", and which a contemporary called "the
tune of which the old cow died." and the
prospect of which set another contemporary
to brushing up his his terpsichoristers

VALUABLE REcIPE.-Hot alum water is a

recent suggestion as an insecticide. It will
destroy red and black ants, cock reaches.
chinch bugs, and all the crawling pests
which infestour houses. Take two pounds
ofalrm and desolveit in three or four quarts
of boiling water !; let it stand On the fire
till the alum disappears, then apply it with
a brush, while nearly boiling hot, to every
joint and creyice in your closets, bedsteads,
pantry shelves and the like. Brush the crew
ices in the floor Of the skirting, or mop
boards, if you expect that they barber YER

If in withdrawing a ceiling, plenty Of
alum is added to the lime, it will also serve
to keep insects at a distance. Cockroaches

mark around the edge of the top of them.
The mark must be unbroken or they will
creep over it; but a continuous chalk mark
half an inch in width will set their depreda-
tons at naught. Powdered alum or borax will
keepthe chinch bugs 1T a respectable distance,
and travlers should always carry a package
in their hand bags, to scatter over and under
theirpilows in places where they have rea-
son to suspect the presence OF such bedfel-
lows.-JouanaL of Chemistry.
WASHING MADE EAsY.-In these days of
washing machines, no doubt you will all
laugh at the idea Of the old pounding barrel
being the easiest and best way Of doing our
family washing, but it is no less a fact foun-
ded on experience, and we all know that
pounding does not wear clothes in the lest.
Inow recall one family in particular that, to
my knowledge, has as good a washing ma
chine as any in use, also the pounding barrel
and the latter is frequently used in preference
to the former, as being much easier and
washing tie clothes cleaner in a shorter
space of time. The way to proceed is this
On the day previous to washing put your
clothes to soak in warm, soft water, to which
a little sal. soda has been added, soaping the
soiled spots well, letting themrremain in this
water over night. Nextmorning pound them
we'll and you will find them nearly clean
wiring out and again soap them that are moi
clean: put clean, hot water in the barrel, put
in your clothes, pound again, and as you
wiring them out of this water, observeif there
are any soiled spots remaining (such as wrist
bands, collars, etc. y ifso, rub them through
the hands slightly, and they are ready for the
rinse water. Your clothes need no boil
ing (which process only yellows them)
They are not rubbed to rags on the board
We hear of no back-aches, no sore fingers
nor blisters, and we claim it will do all, ant
even more than any washing macdine ever
invented.
Therefore we say to all farmers wives and
daughters, Don't moan and bewail your hare
lot because you have not the loose change
to buy a washing machine. Take one o.
your musty, old pork barrels from the cellar
