Communicates
CONLEY CREAMERY.

AS agent for the "Cooley Cream
err" l have one on trial, and would
be glad to show its practical results
to any party interested in improving
the dairy products of this county.
The results this far obtained have
been all that could be expected. The
milk Is set for The cream to rise ten
hours, or from one milking TO the
next. In several cases the milk was
allowed to stand twenty-four hours,
with no perceptible increase in
amount of cream over that obtained
by ten hours standing, showing con-
clusively that all the cream was up in
ten hours or less.
The first week of June milk was
set in eight quart pans and skinned
in the usual way after it had soured.
The room used WAS an ordinary milk
room and the weather was favorable
for raising cream. 1t was found by
actual weight of milk and butter - -
it took forty-four pounds of rnIK'b5
one of butter. The cream was then
tried, milk was used from the same
cows, other circumstances, feed, wa
ter, &c., being similar. The result
was, it required only thirty-three
pounds of milk to one of butter,
showing a gain of one-quarter in IA
vor of the Cooley system. The
quality of the butter was superior to
that made by the open pan setting.
The richness Of milk from different
COWS OF the same or different breeds,
is SO great that the above figures do
not shcw what the. yield should be
from other cows, indifferent feed,
&c. However, VIC see no reason why
the same comparative results should
not follow in any case.
Jersey cows generally give the
richest milk. The Jersey cow
''Nilla," the property of w. /. and
W. Rutherford, Washington, St.
Lawrence county, n. u, is reported
10 have given twenty-five pounds Of
milk per day, from which twenty-five
ounces Of butter made, or sixteen
pounds Of milk to one OF butter. This
Is a very extraordinary yield. The
butter factories of Franklin county.
N. I. report twenty-three pounds of
milk to one of butter, and that from
a large number of ordinary motive
COWS.
In creameries the yield is not SO
large. Twenty-sIx to thirty pounds
is usual. The milk is, however,
skinned while sweet and the milk
used Tor cheese. Creamery butter is
generally OF a better quality and COM
mands a higher price than factory
butter. The results Of my limited
experiments with the Cooley Dreamer
do not compare favorably with the
reports from dairy districts. The
creamer cannot be condensed Oh This
account. The difference in COWS,
distance from time of calving, feed,
water, climate and the season OF the
year all combine, in determining the
quality of milk and butter. We shall
hold to the Cooley Dreamer until
some one shall offer n more perfect
system, one that viii make more and
better butter from the milk OF Au-
drain county COWS as they are, and
with the same expense for necessary
apparatus. W. l.. HALFWAY.

CANNEBAEAND EDOEATER.
Tastes Acquired in the South
Sea Islands. and Practiced i'm
Il Massachusetts ToWn.

John Smith, of Otis, Mass, has re-
sumed his peculiar outdoor worship.
Last Sunday he went precisely at 10
o'clock into the forests and set up an
image, before which ne knelt and
performed other idolatrous ceremo-
ries learned while he was in the
South Sea Islands. This custom he
will, as he has done for years, keep
up until cold weather sets in. Dur
ing the winter months, and especially
upon stormy Sundays, he worships 4
stuffed squirrel, which is set up in a
nook in his house. Smith also hum
bles himself before gnarled trees or
any peculiar object that he sees in
the woods.
In Difference to the customs Of the
people, Smith refrains from another
practice learned thirty years ago, he
says, during Il residence among the
South Sea Carribces. He saws he
was shipwreckcd and got ashore, and
met with the favor Of the chief. He
there tasted human flesh. and now
admits frankly tina, he practiced can
nlbalism for several years. He SAYS
that he gratifed his appetite in this
respect in New Jersey some years
ago, but gives 10 other details. A
day or two ago lie said that he yet
hoped to secure the consent of some
one of the fat and handsome people
in Otis to allow him to make q meal
from them, but he docs not want any

work SIX months for the father Of o
little girl and to take his pay in Il re-
past from the child's shoulder. Smith
Is a man with an actual iron jaw. He
eats meat raw, and grinds beef bones
as Il mastiff would, and he is p~articu-
!arly fond of fish, which he eats as lie
takes from the hook. There is moth
ing that Smith likes better than to
get hold of IL snake. Ifhe finds one,
he seizes it and bites it through the
back TO stop its squirming. He says
that striped snakes ere better eating
than the most delicate cells. When
Smith first came here people thought
him crazy, but he Is SO sensible in
other matters that they now believe
he acquired, rs he says he did, these
tastes in the South Sea Islands.

Coming Down a Little.

The New York Commercial Bulletin
thinks that prices, in the general market,
for all kinds Of goods, have been too high,
and that a moderate reaction has set in.
1t says: In the merchandise markets, there
is a significant lull in speculation. 1t is
unmistakable that prices have reached a
point at which buyers for consumption be-
gin to hesitate and resort to makeshifts.
In sugars there nave been no transactions
Of moment for three days. Coffee is COM
ing in much faster than it is going out.
Butter has touched the point at which oleo-
margarine has again become available. Iron
is yielding under the offers of speculative
holders and the competition of foreign sup
plies. And thus the conditions of the re-
action from the late advance run through
nearly all the markets. 1t is not reasonable
to suppose that such an advance as has oc-
Cured lately can long be maintained.
Undoubtedly prices, at the beginning of
the year, were depressed much below the
level consistent with healthy demand; but
the subsequent rise has just carried them
as far to the other extreme; and symptoms
indicate that the process of reaction to-
ward a moderate level has already set in.
Those who have made fortunes within a
few weeks, by the sudden rise, must expect
to have part of their profits wiped out by
a reduction in the value of their present
holdings, but, after such deductions, they
will have a handsome balance of gain. The
misfortune is that some who have made
large profits on the rise in their goods put
the proceeds into Wall street poker"
upon the supposition that they can in that
way increase them which, in nine cases
out of ten, proves to be a sadly mistaken
assnmption.

Cheap Insurance.

OF late years the cost Of insurance In
regularly constituted life insurance COM
panies has been so great as to lead to the
formation of a system, at once cheaper
and safer, within various benevolent So
cio,ies. like the Masons, Knights Of Pythias
and others. The Reno journal learns from
the the report Of the officers Of the Supreme
Lodge. X. OF p, that in that Order there
are now $50 Sections in operation, aud
since 1877, Sl4s, 900 has been paid IN pene-
Ats. The costs to members OF this Sec
ton ia about s22 on a policy Of $1,000;
In AN insurance company the cost would
amount to $40, or at least three times as
mneh. In the Masonic branches the result
Is even more gratifying. because Of the
large membership. but IN either CASE wb iH1
ia alike beneficiary to the Order and mem
beers. and almost certain to eventually sup
slant the old system Of life insurance

Another Matrimonial Venture.

One Hundred Thousand.

Says the Deadwood Times A good deal

derision, about Captain W. A. Boards sill
yer mine, the Spotted Horse Chief, located
on the Whitewood, two or three miles
above this city. Old miners declared that
there was nothing in the mine; that the
Captain was an old tender-foot, and would
go broke in the Hills ; but as the " old
tender-foot had no intention to sell his
property to them, he made no efforts to
disabuse their minds of this notion, but
took a large quantity Of the ore East, and
on the strength of it sold the property for

A Correspondents Opinion Of the
New Camp.

A correspondent OF the Reno Gazette.
writing from l X l. District, says The
road from here is a very easy grade. There
Is pass in the eastern range that forms a
natural road. At the Summit is a spring
OF good water-an ample supply for all
needs. On the other side Of the range
some work would be required, but not to
amount to much. A well should be dug
there, with that the facilities for water
would be all that could be desired. The
great alkali fiat that extends so far to the
sonth was avoided by making a short detour
to the north. In this fiat is a bed of al
most pure salt. Acres Of it. Some one
has dug down ten feet and didn't reach
bottom. We went in almost a direct line
from here to White Cloud, there we found
plenty Of good water-ten miles from the
mines we were seeking. When we reached
the promised land, we found high noun
tains near, the summit Of which is the
ledge. The mountain is covered with a for
est Of nut pine, and is well supplied with
water. There is a canyon on both sides.
and in each a town site has been laid out.
Tie ledge crops out at the surface and is
found on both sides Of the mountain. 1t
is from 100 to 200 feet wide, made up Of
veins in various widths. The party
brought some specimens home, and Mr.
Day will assay them as son as possible. /
think the road, without doubt, will be a
settled fact very soon. We have advan-
tages that other places do not possess. The
road can be easily made. Water will not
have to be carried-thereby allowing more
freight to be taken. We raise everything
that will be needed hay, grain and pota-
toes; also, plenty Of beef and butter.
