Madison Letter.
Madison, Wis. Jan u, 1850

Madison, Wis. Jan IL, 1880.
FRIEND Pollock
have just bad the pleasure OF
witnessing the ceremonies at the
opening of the Legislature. Being
of rather an inquiring turn of mind
/ observed what was going on with
good deal OF interest. The first
thing for the members to do, after
calling the ROLLS to draw their seats.
Soon after, each one draws q tin box
filed with stationery, postage stamps,

ing pocket knives, gold pens, &c, go.
They are now entitled to draw their
salaries whenever they choose. /
began to think that the most of their
business was to practice drawing.
Previous to organization the third
house, as it is termed, was the most
conspicuous. The anxious, restless,
importunate throng that congregated
at the "Park" was immense and the
members are bored almost beyond
endurance. On being introduced to
some of the members, an inquiring
look, (perhaps my imagination how.
ever seemed to say, Well, what dc
you want? but on being informed
that l was not here to ask any favors
look of establishment as we'll as re.
lief came DER them and they inclined
to be very sociable; seemed glad to
meet some one who was not here to
bore them for place either for him.
self or some friend. The places are
now all filed, and the swearing train
left this evening well loaded.
The Legislature will be ready fol
business as soon as the Governors
message is delivered. Chatting with
one of the members, not from Grant
county, l casually remarked that
during the next ten weeks, sup.
posed they would modify or repeal
the dog law, and l thought they ought
to pass one or two bills at leaet in re.
gard to fish. Said he, "You have
struck it." And he instantly tool
from his pocket two bills, one to re.
peal the dog law, and the other in re-
gard to catching fish. smiled and
OF course felt happy, realizing the
fact that the interests of the publ,
will be properly cared for. You ma,

Milk-setting Apparatus at the In.
ternatjonal Dairy Far.

One of the most conspicuous fea.
lures of the late Dairy Fair, was the
great variety of the milk-setting ap.
paratus. =
1t has been claimed
that moro cream has been raised by
deep setting than by shallow. This
is unreasonable on the face OF it.
The cream ought to rise more
quickly through six inches of milk
than through twenty, and it does
rise more quickly; there is no doubt
of it, The cream on shallow pan
is pure, thick and free from milk; in
q deep pan the cream is largely
mixed with milk, snd the line where
cream ends and milk begins is not
to be distinguished. Thus, there is
more cream so called taken from q
deep pan, but it is partly milk; the
butter made from 100 pounds of
milk set in deep pans, and the same
set 10 shallow pans, if it is of the
same COWS, will invariably be the
same in quantity if all the cream is
taken from the milk. * y
) x A new apparatus is the
Ferguson Bureau Creamery, made
at Burlington, Vermont, which has
many desirable points, and this we
think to be the best of all the nu.
merous devices shown. This is q
portable closet, with glazed doors
tor the admission Of light. 1t has
several compartments; the upper
one is an ice. chamber, from which
cold air can circulate downward
over and around the milk pans set
below it and into the lowest com.
partment, where cream and butter
may be stored. Under tho ice
chamber are the milk closets, each
OF which has square shallow pan
with curved bottom. The pans
are six inches deep, and hold from
10 to 24O quarts each, to suit q
small or large dairy. These milk
closets are aired and ventilated
abundantly by means of wire
gauze.covered openings, and the
glazed doors may be changed for
gauze ones, if desired. Atempera>
ture of 6O0 is easily maintained by
the use of ice in Summer and o tin
hot-water heater in Winter. The
milk is we'll aired, and the cream Is
exposed to the light so as to pre-
serve the high color desired in the
butter. Perhaps there can be moth.
ing desired by the neat and exacting
dairy.womsn or housewife that is
