A GOOD BEGINNING.

The Democratic primary meetings were
largely attended last night, and they did
excellent work. The aldermanic and
school board tickets, elsewhere given in
fully, show that the St. Paul Democracy
are alive to the public interests, and pro-
pose to present candidates against whom
no objections can be urged.
The convention to-day will undoubted-
ly supplement the work so uspiciously
begun by strong city ticket, and the
party will march on to victory.

PHILADELPHIA, April. 12.-William A.
NJ. Grier, of Hazelton, Pa, cast his first
vote for Blaine at the Chicago conven-
ton, after which he kept on voting for
Garfield until the nomination was made.
For that service Mr. Grier demands as
his recompense nothing less than mana
ger of the star route contracts, or second
assistant postmaster general. Grier was
in Washington all last week. He stopped
here day or two on his return home.
He says he is sure he will be appointed
TO succeed Brady, and he ought to have
about the best thing Garfield has to
give.
The only objection the star route con-
tractors might make to Grier taking
Brady's place is that he is as deaf as q
barn door, and the persuasion that would
induce him to advance the price of a
contract from 5000 to $50, 900 might be
overheard by all the employees in the
Office of second assistant postmaster
general.

THE expressions of the German people
by the Bismarck dynasty are beginning to
have their effect, and people are DESERVING
the country as fast as circumstances will
permit. There were nearly twenty thou
sands arrivals from Germany in New York
last month, and if the same rate is main
tanned for few years there is good pros
pect that the fatherland will be pretty well
depopulated.

THE labor strikes seem to be conta-

car drivers and conductors last week
seems to have spurred the workers in
like occupation all over the country, and
we have reports already from at least a
dozen cities chronicling like strikes. The
scheme may be paying one for time,
but it may be carried to too great length.

creamery pals; the Cooley creamer
pals; the Furgeson Bureau pans the Gil
max Refrigerator pans, and many others.
In this State the principal utensils in
use are the open setting, large and small
pans) the Cooley creamer pals, the Fur
geson Bureau pans and the Climax Reg
ulator pan.
Iconslder any of the three last named
step in advance over the open settings,
each of which may have some superior
merit over the others. The Cooley cream
er was the first introduced into this
State, and has the widest range. l be-
lieve that people using this creamer are
generally satisfied with it. The Ferguson
bureau has been in this State about
year, in small way. think they give
entire satisfaction to those who use them.
1t Is milk safe and refrigerator COM
bined; can control the temperature at
will, by ice and ventilators in summer,
and by means of heating by lamp in win
ter. The temperature is very easily kept
even. Experience has shown that the
cream rises very near the surface in few
hours, and there are tubes and faucets by
which the milk can be mostly drawn off
from the bottom (if wanted to be used
sweet) without disturbing the cream, the
remainder can stand until the cream
ripens and is ready for the churn. The
Climax refrigerator milk pan originated
in st. Lawrence county, New York about
two years ago. This is enclosed in case
similar to the Ferguson bureau, made
with double walls and vat that the pans
set in, and is so arranged that cold water
can be run in around the pans at any de-
sired height. 1t is very highly recon
mended BY dairymen and factories in New
York State, where it has been used. l
know of none in this State, excepting at
Hutchinson.
CHURNING.
Cream should not be churned until 1t is
slightly sour, nor should it stand until it
becomes stale. Tomake good sweet butter
the cream must be in proper condition.
THE KIND OF CHURN.
From my own experience think some
kind of revolving churn is best, among
which the Barrel churn, the Rectangular
and the Conclusion seem to take the
lead.
The temperature in summer should be
about 80 or 81 degrees, IN winter about 81
degrees, seems to work best. Churning
should be done carefully, and the motion
uniform When the butter reaches a
granulated state, the buttermilk should
be drawn of, and clear cold water put in

QuanJ1Ly OIL mllk Is luCTcdSCu.
Corn and oats mixed and ground, l
consider the best feed for producing but
ter, but if oats are too high, corn meal
and wheat bran is very good substitute.
Wheat, bran and shorts mixed for feed
gives good flow of milk, and if cheese is
to be made from the milk it is usually the
cheapest feed that can be given.
Good pure water is essential to produce
a good quality of milk. Impure water is
sometimes the only drink cow can get
to slack her thirst, yet the milk from that
COW is productive Of disease.
Hon. x. A. Willard in speaking OF the
subject of water for COWS few years ago
cited to an instance where child fed
from the milk of COW that drunk the
water oozing out from under hog-pen
became sick in consequence of it, and
was covered with sores and pustules.
Musty or partly decayed feed will not
only injure the flavor Of dairy products,
but will also injure their keeping quail
ties.
TREATMENT.
Nothing but kindness should be prac-
tised in handling COWS. AS a rule dairymen
use too harsh means in handling their
herds. They should not be irritated by
scolding, whipping or chasing them. To
use dog to drive herd of milk cows is
a great mistake. 1t is well known that
milk heated and feverish by overdrivibg
cows in hot weather is not a healthy ar
ticle of food Boys are sometimes sent
for cows on horseback, and drive hem
home at a break meek pace. Cows should
be driven as leisurely as they desire to
walk /; and never be irritated by dog,
horse or boy.

TRAINING ToMAToEs.-There is, I'M
questionably, great advantage in the prop
or support and training of the tomato
plant, in stead of allowing it to lop down
and lie upon the ground, as is the usua,
custom. So we give the following simple
directions from the Country Gentleman: ~
When the plants are ready for the gar
den make considerable hill of good COM
post. Chip manure is excellent, and a
quantity OF chicken manure is good. At
ter the hill is made, drive long stake
through it. This may be SIX feet high.
Set the plant near it. The training will
require attention. The plant will imme-
diately begin to sucker, or throw out
SIDE shoots, just above each leaf. These
must be cut off, and then the plant will
run up vigorously. Tie to the stake and
do not be afraid to use the knife. Keep
on cutting each stem that appears 10 the
axis of leaf, and keep on tying. The
first bearing branches come directly from
the body of the plant. Remember that
this trimming must be continued as long
as the plant bears. Thus training, the
fruit is of superior size, quantity and fla
vor, besides being less liable to rot or drop
off.

Beside the roaring store-room hearth,
Playing away with might and-main,

OF many master of the bow.
But none has had the power to thrill
Like him write about, and so
I sit and strive, not all in vain,
To call his music back again,
And from the past I hear today,
The tunes Bill Persinger used to play
And with the music as it floats,
Seraphic harping family blends,

Familiar voices of old friends,
And all my pensive soul within
Is melted by the violin,
That yields at fancy's magic sway,

Many of our friends remember
the visits to West Virginia, of our
father-in-law, VIM. r. Wilson, for
merly of Missouri, but now of Chica-
60. He has been dangerously sick
for several weeks past, but is now
better, and from recent advices we
are glad to hope for his speedy res
toration to health.
Capt. &C. Cole, of Washington,
spent several days in our city last
week, attending to important cases
in the Federal Court. A host of
friends rejoiced to greet him in the
old and familiar walks and ways,
and sent good wishes after him as
he left for the Capital City, Satur-
day evening.
The FREEMAN office was affection
ately invaded last Friday by twain
of Cincinnatians bringing a most
happy surprise. Our callers were
Mr.. and Mrs. T. J. Cochran, who
were on their way to Darlington, o.,
to visit his aged father now in fee
bic health. "Trick" was one of our
first, best loves, in happy school
boy, coon-hunting days. Now, he's
in oil, lubricating the world, and
we're vainly trying to entertain it
asst runs.
Our fellow-townsman, Mr.. L. B.
Dellicker, Sec'ry of the Little Kan
awha Navigation Co., and Cl'k of the
Federal Court, is now Colonel Del
Ticker on Governor Jackson's staff.
What will you do, Colonel, if there
should be lively timber freshet in
the raging Kanawha, while Court
is in session, while at the same time
there shouldbe war and the bloody
militia called out? Here's troub-
lie that hath caused us much
thought, The war part could be
managed. You could just have His
Honor to grant an injunction stop

independence, it might not acknowl-
edge the Courts jurisdiction.
