Our Fair.

Next Tuesday, the 23d, is the opening
day of the 18th Annual Fair Of the
Wellington Union Agricultural Society.
Everything possible is being done by
the managers for the accommodation of
those who will visit the Fair, and It is
hoped that every one will contribute
something toward the interest, so that
this Fair will not prove an exception to,
the rule, viz, that +" Wellington always
has a good Fair
Besides the large show of stock, farm
implements, domestic manufactures,
etc., usually seen at this Fair, some
new features have been added to in
crease the interest of the fair-going
public. Prof. White will make an as
cension in the Monster Balloon Cen
tennial, which is 40 by go feet in size
and capable of holding 10000 feet of
ascending power, forming one of the
most wonderful and superb sights ever
witnessed in this county. Prof. Per-
kins asks for room to exhibit the largest
Museum this side of New York. Prof.
and mule trainer, win be here during
the Fair and show the people that the
horse and mule can be taught to perform
tricks and feats that astonish the world.
Prof. Quigley asks for space to exhibit

quested that people living in the vicin-
ity make their entries on the books Of
the Secretary early this week, thereby
avoiding the hurry at the Office on the
grounds.

Making Cheese.

A Lincoln, Kan, correspondent
makes inquiry concerning cheese max
ing, and says that he follows the direc-
tions as laid down by certain writers.
Much depends, in cheese making, as in
almost everything else, upon expert
ence, and our correspondent will grad
ually develop into competency as a
cheese maker, and be able to overcome
difficulties which may now arise from
ignorance, and which no one not upon
the ground can discern the specific
cause of. Two of the most fertile
causes of poor cheese are undoubtedly
too much or too little acidity. II the
milk is too acid the acidity in the vat
develops too rapidly, and a large por-
ton of the cream is driven off during
manufacture, and one practical dairy
man says that the balance is very liable
to leak out during the process of curing.
leaving a dry, hard and unpalatable
cheese. But If there Is too little acidity
in the milk either because of cold wealth
er or not being held long enough in the
vat, the cheese will neither have texture
nor flavor.
So much, also, depends upon expert
ence in the use of the rennet, the i'm
proper use of which will affect the
cheese. making it crumbly or puffy,
that absolutely no directions can be
given to prevent such results. If rem
net of uniform quality are used. the
maker will soon be able to determine
the quantity sufficiently accurately to
insure an even result in product. Our
correspondent says that he puts in
enough rennet to cause the eurd to be
ready for cutting from forty TO sixty
minutes; then alter cutting it in cubes,

hours) runs the heat up to ninety-eight
degrees. After cutting into blocks

breaks readily it should be allowed to
remain for ten or fifteen minutes, dur
ing which time the whey will form.
Then break the curd and let it stand

creasing the heat to ninety-eight de-
grees. 1t should be held at this temper

being pressed in the hand.-EScaange.

THE DAIRY.

MIR. Harris Lewis, examining once
. sample of milk drawn from an un-
clean udder by 3 dirty man ina foul
stable, remarked that there was a little
too much manure to be called pure
nllk and not quite enough for good
fertilizer.
Since the 1st Of May. 1881, 5,90l,-
145 pounds of butter, 40, S3S, ,405 pounds
of cheese and 821, 405 pounds of oleo-
margarine have been exported to Eu-
rope. Glasgow received the largest quar-
tity of butter and oleomargarine and
stands second for cheese receipts, while
Liverpool heads all the other markets for
cheese. receiving three times as much
as any other port.
The best rule for sailing butter is
to salt to suit the taste of the consumer.
There is no use in applying any partic-
ular amount of salt for the sake of pre-
serving it, because the very lghtest
sailing is always more than sufficient
for all the effect salt can have as q pre-
servative of butter. Generally one
ounce of salt to sixteen ounces of butter
is used. But If the butter has any unde-
sirable flavor or is insipid little more
salt may be used, say one ounce to twelve
or fourteen ounces of butter, so as to OBJ
scure in q measure the faulty taste, the
flavor of salt being less Objectionable
than wrong or defective taste in but
ter. But if the flavor is very fine and
full it will not be desirable to hide it,
but on the contrary to give it more
prominence, hence less salt, say one
ounce to twenty of butter, will give a
better effect-ProfeSsor L. B. Arnold.
There is no particular churn that is
more durable or better than every other
churn. The old dash churn with q
large dasher is as durable and brings
butter as soon as any, but is laborious
to operate, it is everywhere for sale.
Rotating and oscillating churns. which
act upon all their contents at every i'm
pulse with q conoussion or thud, bring
butter equally as soon and much easier
and in quite as good condition as the
dash churn. Their comparative dura-
bility depends not so much upon the
particular pattern of churn as upon the
workmanship which enters into their
manufacture. For best choice the pur-
chaser had better make a personal in
spection of the varieties within his reach
of observation rather than depend upon
any particular pattern. To make q
good selection one should be careful to
avoid churns which operate by friction
instead of conclusion, or on only q part
of the cream at each stroke, as by using
little dasher and rotating paddles that
glide through the cream touching but a
small part of it at each rotation.-N

A Former Employe Of the Enterprise
ONCE Robbed.

1t Is not often that printers are sub
jects of robbery; indeed, we do not re-
member ever having heard of a case
where q printer had been robbed of
anything valuable. We do not pretend
to give a reason <or this exception Of a
printers effects from the covetous de-
sires of the numerous sneak-thieves and
burglars that infest the land. 1t may
be that they haye, somehow, acquired
knowledge that the printers "quoins"
are of either wood or steel, and that 1t
would take basketful to procure
drink; or, it may be that they have
dread of the printer's shooting stick"
which is his inseparable companion; or,
it may be that, bad as they are, they
desist from robbing the printer because
they have holy dread of being caught
by the deyil-we say we cannot explain
it, but the fact remains that printers
are generally exempt from the depre-
dations of thieves and burglars, but SO
soon as they quit printing and take up
another business they lay themselves
liable to robbery. At any rate, such
was the case with Mr.. s. 81. Britain,
former employe OF. this Office, as we
learn from the following paragraph in
the Hudson Enterprise of last Saturday !:
About ten o'clock Tuesday forenoon
sneak-thief entered the Hudson Bakery
while the proprietor was engaged In the
baking room below, and appropriated a
watch and chain valued at $25 from the
pocket of vest belonging to Mr.. Britain
which hung on a nail in the store. Mr.. B.
did not discover his loss till about noon,
when he went to his vest to look at the time.
He offers liberal reward for the recovery of
the property

Making Butter.

Churning, in order to produce good
butter, is q process which should be
carefully watched and should not be
trusted to inexperienced hands. A great
deal of butter, either from ignorance or
unaccountable reasons, is churned to
death. As soon as the butter is formed
into little grains, the churnlng should
at once cease. ANY further agitation is
a positive injury, and results in putting
into the butter what the process Of
churning is intended to get out of it.
The cream should be at temperature
of from fifty-seven to sixty degrees
when it is put into the churn, and in
order that the temperature should be
accurately ascertained, no one who
makes butter should be without the
comparatively inexpensive necessary
adjunct to dairy, q thermometer. 1t
is idle to expect success il we do not at
tend to details, and If the smallest de-
tail is neglected, results will be imper-
feet. II a man. in constructing q wall
should fail to make IL solid by using
little stones where they were required,
he would have a very unsafe wall when
he got through. Little things have their
important place in this world as well as
larger things. The very first duty of
-dairynaan- Is to- learn to -sacredly regard
the trihing details. The reason that
we have so much wretchedly poor but
ter is that some of our butter makers
are utterly regardless of the important
influence of few degrees in the tenn
perature of the cream or the neglect of
some other apparently small but really
important particular.
AS to washing butter its utility is q
mooted question. but we wash it and
can see no i'll effect from using pure
water upon butter. Washing is gener-
ally adopted by the majority of the
most intelligent and progressive butter
makers, although strenuously objected
to by some. It is one of these matters
which every one who has had expert
ence should have settled for himself,
and for those who have not experience
we advise washing. If future expert
ence shall teach them that 1t is an error
we shall be glad to knaw how they ar
rive at such conclusion, and shall be
open for conviction ra.
Sailing is matter of taste altogether.
The salt is said to have no influence upon
the keeping qualities of butter, and
we do not suppose that the small guam
tity used has much. But to say that it
has none we believe to be contrary to
reason. Salt is a preservative, and
must to some extent act as such in but
ter, but not to an extent to cause it to
cut much of figure rs preseryative.
Salt, therefore, to suit the taste. We
use an ounce to q Western

As will be seen In our News column,
the condition Of the President on Mon
day became very alarming. The latest
dispatches up to this writing (Wednes-
day morning) indicate that his condition
is somewhat more hopeful, but Whatever
may be said, there is no denying that
the case is extremely critical at the
present moment. Mrs. Garfield has
been told to be prepared for the worst,
but it is said she is as cheerful as cir
cumstances viii allow, and entertains q
strong belief that her husband may re-
cover. May she not be disappointed, is
the prayer Of the people.

What the Methodists Of Fostoria Say Ct
Charles Foster.


No man could have stronger express
sion Of confidence or approval than Gov
ernor Foster has received in the follow
ing statement by official members of tho
Methodist Episcopal Church at Fostoria,
his place of residence. 1t Is addressed
to the editors of the Fostoiia Review and
is reprinted in the Cincinnati CONNER

The undersigned, citizens of Fostoria and
official members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, Central Ohio Conference, deem this
but an act OF justice due our fellow citizen,

Ohio and q citizen Of this place, and with
whom we have been associated from his
youth up to the present time, and with him
have labored for the building up of the M. e.
Church, not only in this place but in all the
surrounding country, where his ample beney-
olence has been extended to all and his up
right character as q private citizen and q
public officer has never been questioned. His
labors with Us as trustee Of our church, his
ability as an officer, and his strictly practical
temperance views as manifested with us for
the past twenty-five years by his life and
conduct amongst us as a neighbor and citi-
zen, entitle him to our fullest confidence.
We speak from everyday association, and

he bought the nomination, and of course
he had to accept it, by letter or other

The nomination of Bookwalter is an
affront to every Democrat in the State.
It is public notice that fidelity to the
party, long and faithful service, and
uncompromising belief in Democratic
principles do not constitute title to adj
vancement In that party: that when the
Democrats want q candidate for high
office they must go outside and take an
apostate Republican like General Ewing
or Bookwalter and that the party must
continually apologize, in its candidates,
for its past record. According to this
theory, the newer the convert the better,
for the less extensive then is his personal
responsibility for the misdeeds Of the
Democracy. But this is view Of the
case that consistent Democrats viii not
be likely to. subscribe to. 1t looks very
nuch as IL the nomination of Bookwalter
was q farcical trick played upon the
yerdant Democrats by lot of wags
brought to the convention in special
trains. Thousands of old Democrats
will refuse to vote for this "fresh" young
convert, who has not yet served his pro-
baton. BE will be withdrawn, either
before the election or after it, and his
political career will be as brief as 1t has
been inglorious.
