and, at the first pressure, the pure
virgin oil flows out. After this all the
remaining liquid matter, is squeezed
out, and this is put in tub, with a
little warm water added. After II
has remained for short time, tho oil
is skinned off, and when it is cooled,
is placed in stone jars or tin tanks.
The thick matter which remains in
the bags after pressing, gives in a
short time, oil very good for burning
which is much used by poor people.
Three nen suffice to work o mill
with the assistance of the owner of

produced per day is about 1866 gal

off into underground tanks, and ma

obtained from it in the summer time.

Notes on the Olive.

Has any fruit q richer history than
the olive? From the time the dove
brought the branch to old Noah down
the present, it has held its place in
literature, and at this late day, its his
tory, its poetry and its practical uses
arc being set forth by Industrious
writer's. Some of our readers have
asked us for books upon the subject.
Mr. G. r. Rixiord showed US the
other day handsome volume,
"IOlivler," whiSh he had just Sc.
cured from Paris and which would
give much delight to those Of our
readers who are masters Of French
and have a pe,schont for the olive.
1t treats Of the olive from the ark
downwards, and is without doubt
the handsonest and most complete
monograph ever prepared upon the
subject.

Planting Orange Trees

EDITORS PRBss:--During a trip
through the northern part OF the
State not long ago, noticed a great
many trees had been planted since l
visited that locality Is months ago:
but observed that the trees are as
8 rule planted too close together ]
noted this especially as regards or
ange trees, which should never be
planted less than 80 feet apart saw
many planted less than 90 feet The
opinion Of al leading orange growers
is, that the orange tree requires o
great deal OF room, as its roots do
not penetrate the ground deeply but
spread ont a long distance AT the
celebrated orchard Of Mr.. Rose, there
sre some old trees only about 20 feet
apart one wsy, but 40 fruit grows on
the inside Of the trees in that dircc.
ton, IS the branches Of the trees
rningle with each other. The best
laid out orchard in this country is
that Of Sir Robert Bumet, where the
trees arc planted 30 feet apart each
way. All our leading orchardists
agree that 30 feet is near enough.
AS your Subscribers. in the northern
part of the State are planting largely
of the orange, and its culture is new
to many Of them, I thought that a
word On this subject from an expe~
rienccd man might not be amis.~-

How Milk IL Made.


There are different opinions On this
point. The following ID one view of
the formation, as upheld by DR.. Stur-
tevant, in the Scie1atifc farmer: We
all know that milk comes from the
COW, aud is derived primarily from
the food that goes in at the mouth.
The COW indeed is the machine which
receives the raw material, the grass
or hay or grain, and in the natural
laboratory of her body, produces the
sweet and palatable milk, SO essential
to infancy, so agreeable to the adult.
How it is done Is a most interesting
inquiry. It is not simply filtered
from the blood, as water il filtered
through earth Or paper. 1t is itself
an organized material, containing
bodies which possess form and which
are allied so the animal which produ-
ces them.
five pass a bristlc inward through
the oritice Of the teat, it trayorses q
duct or tube, which opens into o
reservoir which communicates with
other reservoirs or with ducts select
ing ono of these ducts and continu-
ing, il finally arrives at small saccu-
lar cavity, which comprises the ex-
tremity of the system, Within this
cavity, the vesicle, as it has been
named, the fat of milk is produced
But how ? a microscopic examins-
ton shows these little cavities, but
about q thirtieth OF an inch more or
less in diameter, are lined with celia
Of a uniform size; but, if anything,
smaller above than below. These
cells produce the milk globules by
forming new cells, in the folloving
way: A cell commences to bud at the
extremity and grows until the bud il
dropped off into the cavity, and the
water, containing casein and milk su.
gar in solution, and which has been
transuded, from the tissues, takes this
young rnilk-globule, but lust now a

COW, and washes it down throucb

teat. Thus the fat Of milk is Formed

A Riot at the Other Agency Quelied by
Old Spotted Tail


| Washington, Jan. 15.-The Comnis,
sioner of Indian Affairs to-day received
the following dispatch from DR.. James
Irwin, agent at Red Cloud Agency:
From twenty to thirty lodges OF
Northern Indians stampeded OH the
night of the 10th, and left the impress
sion that they were going to Sitting
Bull, but are just as likely to go to the
Little Missouri or Tongue river, to join
camp supposed to be in that country.
SPOTTED TAILS sPUNK
Yankton Jan. 15.-A report reached
this city to-day, which appears to be
authentic, that few days ago twelve
Indians at Spotted Tail Agency re-
volted against the legal authorities and
threatened the lives of some of the
official attaches of tine Agency.
Spotted Tail interposed to quell the
disturbance, but was informed by the
turbulent parties that while they re-
garded him as their head chief, they
would not obey him under the present
circumstances.
Spotted Tail then drew his revolver
and killed two of the insurgents, when
the balance retreated and have not
since been heard of.
The cause of the difficulty or whether
it extends beyond the dozen Indians in
volved is not known at this time.

Strong Talk From Utah's Governor.
Salt Lake, Jan. 15.-The message of
Gov. Emory to the Territorial legisla-
ture, delivered this evening, recon-
mends territorial free school law as a
support for free schools, now left with
each school district; recommends the
secret ballot and a revision of the
divorce laws so as to require years
residence of the applicant; says that
but one person has been punished for
the Mountain Meadow massacre; other
parties have been indicted, but have
evaded the officers, and that arrest,

less suitable reward is offered. He
believes that friends are in communi-
cation with these men and warn them
of the approach of officers, and that
such vigilance is maintained that al
though frequent attempts have been
made TO arrest them, they have been
unsuccessful. He suggests that a COM
mittee be appointed to investigate the
causes operating against the arrest of
indicted parties.
Polygamy, he says, has continued
here for thirty years, and for fifteen
years in violation of law. In all the
other states and territories polygamy is
punished. 1t is no less crime here,
yet the law remains Il dead letter.
Polygamous marriages are so frequent
throughout the territories, and the sem
timent of the majority of the people so
much in its favor, that the officers,
though charged with the duty of en-
forcing the laws, find themselves una
BILE to do so without further legislation.
This legislature has sufficient jurisdic-
tion to provide the enactments required,
but if it fails, then it is the duty of
Congress to provide such legislation as
will meet the case. Polygamy and the
union of church and state are stum-
bling blocks in the way Of settled
condition of affairs and detrimental to
the interests of the entire people.

THE London Times publishes the
following in regard to the armistice:
sit seems certain that the Russians
are making every possible effort to
reach Adrianople, in order that terms
of peace may be discussed at that point.
The feeling in England is still one of
great depression, owing to the demand
of terms which England cannot sub
nit to without disgrace. This feeling
is augmented by the preparations being
made by the government to concentrate
a heavy force in the vicinity of the
Turkish capital. Not only are all ships
to and from India being stopped at
Malta, but preparations are being made
to send on all available troops from
England. Either the English ministry
anticipates the worst from the present
condition of affairs, or else movement
is being made to frighten Russia by the
extent Of the preparations for war.
These movements lead to the belief
that the government is in possession of
facts which are of sinister significance. -

OGDEN, UTAH, Jan. 13.


80 OGDEN, UTAH, Jan. 13.
You may expect to hear news from
Fort Hall during this week. The
troops under Major Hart are expected
to reach that place on Tuesday evening
at the latest, and there will then proba-
bly, be very lively roundup of the
Bannocks. Gen. Smith will have chief
command of all movements in that re-
gion, and it is not probable that the
Indians will fare easily at his hands.
He has one battalion of the 14th Infan-
try under Major Bryant, and Major
Hart's battalion of the Fifth Cavalry,
numbering in all about 275 men-all of
whom have seen plenty of service.
The Shoshones of the Camp Brown
Agency are all out on the Rattlesnake
Hills, about ninety miles northwest of
Camp Brown, where they struck large
herd of buffalo, and have killed great
numbers of them. 1t is reported that
this herd of buffalo is one of the largest
that has been seen in Wyoming for sew
eral years.
The snow OH the road from Green
River to Camps Stambaugh and Brown
is not of much depth south of South
Pass City, but from there on to Stam-
baugh, Miners Delight and over the
range TO the foot of the canon it is very
deep, and the cold is and has been in
tense. There is plenty Of game in the
mountains-deer, elk and mountain
sheep.

A LIBELLED BULL.
The Old Fiend Still on British Soil

The Old Fiend Still on British Soil.
Helena, Montana, Jan. 15.-Colonel
Macleod, chief magistrate of the
British Northeast Territory, has arrived
at this place and reports that Sitting
Bull and his band are still at the old
quarters, near Fort Walsh. He has
never crossed the line and has no desire
to do so. The fugitive Nez Perces are
with Sitting Bull.
Sixty lodges Of Sioux have recently
crossed the line from the American
side, and report that a majority of the
Sioux intend crossing to British soil.
No instructions have been received by
the British authorities to assign Sit
ting Bulls band to any reservation,
nor has he been requested to move
from his present location.
The story regarding white captive
held by Sitting Bull, Macleod regards
as sheer fabrication. The police
officers have been continually in the
Sioux quarters, and have failed to hear
or see the faintest trace of a white man
there. The Northwestern Indians are
reported well satisfied. The British
have made treaties with all the tribes
save few lodges.
