OleOmargarine vs.. Butter.

u. ~ ESr r 4
On the first page We print an arts
Gle on the subject Of oleomargarine,.
which subject is now exciting much.
interest among butter makers. Il has
generally been understood that any
kind Of refuse meat or tallow that
would make good soap grease would
also make oleomargaripe OF the quail
sity usually manufactured, but the
manufacturers Of that commodity deny
this, and declare that nothing but the
purest materials are used Dr. Dams

nre Of oleomargarine as follows

high heat produce BY steam, and after the
cell walls have been softened, and the oily
portion of the snet thoroughly liquified, It is
mixed with the fresh milk, also heated to the
proper temperature, and then the mixed oil
and milk are ohurned on precisely the same
principle as in the old fashioned dasher churn,
and after the cburning has broken up thu, cell.
walls Of the oil cells, as in ordinary churning,
the butter begins to .gather z in other words,
to adhere.in q homogeneous mass, and then it
is separated from the buttermilk on precisely
the same principle as in ordinary butter dress
ing, except that it is done entirely BY ma
chinery, no human hand being used, and after
all extraneous milk containing caseiln and sac
cflarine matter has been pressed out, the pro-
duct is seasoned with salt, just as ordinary
butter is, and pressed into suitable vessels,
and it is ready for market. This and nothing
more. There are no disinfectants, nor deodo-
r'sers' nor chemicals used except salt, and
oleomargarine is simply butter. y. There is
never any inferior butter worked up in it. nor
is any foreign material added. The philoso-
ply of the thing is simple enough. The COW
secretes certain amount of tallow in her
milk, which, when separated by churniug,
forms butter. But it is still tallow, all the
same, except that it is favored by other con-
stituents of the milk, which give it the pecu-
liar taste and odor ofpure butter, and the cell
walls of the fat globules have been to a great
er or less degree broken up, and the mass is
more plant and less brittle than ordinary tai
low. Readers will remember to have seen
specimens of what is called butter that were
as brittle as ordinary tallow, and such butter
always had q cheesy taste and smell, and
when it got age it soon showed >ranoidity
from the development of butyric acid. In
the manufacture of oleomargarine, an excess
of the natural oil of the animal producing the
milk is added artidcially to the milk, and the
process o. butter making proceeds on tho same
general philosophical principles as in the case
Of milk not thus super saturated with fat.
The product looks like butter, smells like but
ter, acts like butter, tastes like butter, and it
is ,,butter, and butter itself is an oleomarga-
rine. I saw more than twenty samples of
oleomargarine, and the very freshest and best
dairy and domestic manufactured butter
placed side by side, and but one single ex-
pert faster ventured an opinion, and he was
mistaken.

Save Your, Money
By buying Boots and Shoes Of
RHODES h. WETZEL.

From the Wadena Farmer.
Mr.. Cyrus Blair, q gentleman who has
been reading the Farmer all winter,
started from Birmingham, Ill.,, several
days since with his son and a car load of
household goods, four horses and some
chickens. His household goods were
packed IN each end of the car, and a
space in the center provided for the
stock. Everything went smoothly until
Saturday night, two miles, west
of Brainerd, q spark from the en-
CINE lodged in the hay and set it on fire.
The whole car was instantly IN flames,
and the poor horses terribly burned,
while four of the chickens, which were
tn oroughbreds, were burned to death.
The train men extinguished the fire as
soon as possible, and did everything in
their power to save, On the arrival of
the train at Wadena, Sunday morning,
the horses were taken to Rawson's barn,
where one of the horses soon died, two
others were shot by the authorities, and
the fourth still lives, although terribly
slnged. Mr.. Blair's household goods
were about ruined. Two OF the horses
and part of the goods belonged to Mr..
W. Sprague, a:son-in-law of;Blalr's.

From the Hastings Gazette.
few weeks ago the New York Indepead-
ent published one of those semi-o asional
scurrilous attacks upon the people of Mime,
sofa because they have persistently re.u sed
to permit set of sharks to defraud them out
of eight or ten millions of dollars in redeem
ing so called State railroad bonds, not worth
the paper they are printed upon. The edito
rial columns Of this quasi-religious sheet are
VIGOROUSLY for sale, and every sort of fnan-
cial knavery is advocated for consideration.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press of course copied
the whole thing, the board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce of that city, at its
meeting on Monday, lifted up their voices in
favor of the bond swindlors, and the, matter
was referred to VIM. Lee, chairman of the
democratic State committee, and Russell
Blakeley, chairman of the republican State
committee, as special committee. If either
of these gentlemen desires to make an issue of
this question next fall or at any other time
he can be accommodated to his hearts con-
tent. @ SE .=1 s@ss5#&

Last Tuesday morning soldier who had
been sentenced to two years Imprisonment in
the military prison at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, and who was on the Northern Pacific
train going south en- route to Fort Leayen-
worth. in the custody of one sergeant anu two
private soldiers, made his escape. between this
village and Royalton. The prisoner had
heretofore behaved so well that the sergeant
did not think it necessary to make him wear
shackles, and just after the train passed Little
Falls the prisoner went into the water closet,
As he did not come out of the closet for a con.
siderable time the sergeant thought some
thing was wrong, and on looking in the closet
found that the prisoner had escaped by get
ting through the window onto the plotform
and jumping off. The soldiers got off the
train and hunted for the prisoner, but did not
find him. He had been sentenced to impris-

Burnhamville Correspondence.

From our Regular Correspondent.
Burnhamville, April 10, 1880.
Farmers are busy at their spring
work.
There has been but very little
ground sown to grain yet, as most of
the land has to be plowed, which, of
course, puts the farmer in the rear.
VeIie's mill is lying idle at present,
waiting for the new edger and cutoff
saw to be placed in position, when
shingles will place themselves in suit
able shape for market.
David Burnham is making a first
rate article of -four at his mill, which
is kept constantly busy, for farmers
know how to appreciate good thing
in the way of milling, etc.
J. F. Locke is on gaining ground,
and, indeed, he looks so per cent bet
ter than he did a month or so ago.
He is constantly striving to suit the
people of Burn hamville and surround
ing country, by keeping very COM
plete stock Of general merchandise,
which he sells at very reasonable
figures.

made forty~four gallons ofmaple syrup
in four days, last week, (Which is act
so bad as 1t might have been. AS a
general thing there is more maple
sugar made in this section than people
are aware of, some of our neighbors
making as high as 1900 lbs.
Joseph Poland is busy in the maple
woods, and will, no doubt, make $500

the ice water to run out of his clothes, he took
what remained of his spear and went for the

fell in again; and when he got through

and came to the surface Of the water, it was
discovered that his sp ear pole had been again
broken, and that the piece he held in his hand
with spear attached, was not more than two
feet long. The spear then being rather too

Dakota Extensions.
rom the SC. Paul Globe, April Is.

From the st. Paul Globe, April. Is. y
During the last two weeks the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & St. Paul Company has
been forwarding ties to Ortonyille, for
the extension Of the Hastings s. Dakota
division. From the Sisseton reservation
being in the way Of a westward extern
sion into Dakota, while. pending pro-
jects Of railroad building further south,
in which the same company is interested
require or would take more room than a
westward extension of Il. & D. would
allow, it is more than probable that the
II. d D. will be built at the east shore Of
Big Stone Lake to Browns Valley.
This will lay hold upon very. rich belt
OF territory, east Of Big Stone Lake,
which will have no other railroad facili-
ties, and which is being taken up, most
ly, by q thrifty class of settlers. The
further extension Of the road, beyond
Browns Valley, beingsa yet matter of
uncertainty, may be presumed to depend
upon division of territory, yet to be
made, between the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St, Paul company and the ST. Paul &
Manitoba company, the latter of which
will also build to Browns Valley this
season, from its Breckenridge line.
Something, also, it may be presumed,
will depend upon the success of pending
negotiations for the building of the Lit.
tie Falls 8 Dakota railroad, which will
cross the State line at Browns Valley.
And as to that, the Globe would be only
premature if it should assert that the
building Of the Little Falls & Dakota
will be begun before independence day,
and will be we'll on the way to compile
ton before the December snow falls.
The track layers on the Black Hills
branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway, according to a dispatch OF
Monday evening from Sioux City, have
reached the James river and have to walt
ten days for the bridge builders. Be-
yond the James river there is no grading
and no demonstration towards immedi-
ately prosecuting the further building of
the road. According to the information
of the Globe, the line of the road and the
time of building beyond James river de-
ponds upon the result of negotiations
pending between the Chicago, Milwau-
kee s. St. Paul company and the Chica-
go & Northwestern company. These ne
quotations are based upon the theory
that the Black Hills business, for many
years to come, will not be enough to di-
vide between two roads, and that the in
terests of the two companies will best be
served by uniting at one crossing of the
Missouri and running single track
from thence into the Black Hills. That
will make a point on the Missouri we'll
worth looking after, but our dearly be-
loved friends outside who are ready for
speculations in town sites will under
stand that the railroad magnates will
have all the points which we advise
them to apply to Merrill and Hughitt.

80. I Esa ~.
Last Sunday afternoon, between one and
four o'clock, some rain fell and the cloud ov-
erhead shut out the sunlight 50 that it was
impossible to read without artificial illumina
ton. Lamps were lighted in almost every
house. The rain and hail that fell contained
earth and sand. Thinking it incredible that
the water contained such substances when it
fell, some persons took number Of hailstones,
washed them carefully, and on breaking them
open found that they contained small quanti-
ties Of sand, grit and earth. This popularity
was noticed at Sank Rapids and other points.
The darkness extended all over this State, and
perhaps several States, 1t was on the evening
of that day that a terrific tornado visited Kan
sas, Missouri and Illinois, as noted elsewhere
in this paper. 49,
