Butter Making.

Butter making, when properly under
stood and skillfully followed, is one of
the most profitable branches of farming.
The amount of cream, and hence of
wealth, that is worse than wasted,
wrought up as it is into vile compound
miscalled butter, but which has no more
resemblance to good butter than sour,
musty bread has to light, sweet loaf, is
incalculable. This stuff, which is sold
at six to eight cents a pound, would, if
rightfully manufactured, been worth 20
TO % cents. Hundreds of dollars are lost
to the farmers of Nebraska in this way
every day.
Butter making is fine art and first.
class artists are comparatively rare.
There is no danger of OverstOcking the
market with prime article. The de-
spised and vilifed oleomargarine COM
petes successfully with much of the
trash, but stands no sort of chance in
competition with gilt edge.
The establishment of creameries and
butter factories throughout this State
would add thousands to the revenue of
the farmers, and at the same time lessen
the labor, expense and risk of the pres
ent shpshod methods of handling the
products of the dairy Sutton Register.

Gloves not Worn.

Heart-burning is feeble term Tor the
state of anguish into which various strata
of American snobOcracy finds itself
plunged anent the fateful question OF
gloves or no gloves. Washington, where
new notions penetrate slowly, was as
tonished several times during the season
inst passed. by the incursion OF various
travelled glasses of fashion and molds of
form who made their way into the re-
publican court ungIOved. This was
naturally an innovation that struck dis
NAV into the ranks of capitolian society.
The contest waged violently for time,
but the ungloged invaders carried the
day, and the glove is now solemnly abol-
ished from polite society. The fact IL
Iustrates the whimsical basis upon which
conventions rest. One day the
Prince of Wales, who is very stout
and very fat, and whose hands are not
comfortable in gloves, owing to disa-
greeable tendency to moisture, drove off
in a hurry to hold levee for the Queen.
On arriving at the drawing room he found
himself gloveless. 1t was too late to
send, and as it would not have been eti-
quette for the rest to wear gloves when
the Prince had none, the ceremony was
glOveless one. Thenceforth gloves were
banished from the great social ceremo-
MES anl even on the street. The fash
ion has come to this country. During
the last two years gentlemen have ap-
peared everywhere ungloved-ln the
street, the drawing room, the opera and
the theater. In France, however, it
would be considered as improper to ap-
pear in drawing room ungloved as un-
shod. But as gloves are cheaper on the
continent than in this country or Eng
land, the proprieties may be observed at
q less cost Philadelphia Times.

One day recently the engineer of the
train from Brunswick to Lewiston, Maine.
saw young lady and gentleman stand
ing on Topshan bridge just as his engine
was running upon it. He put on the
brakes, but 1T was too late to stop the
train. After moment of terror and
hesitation the man grasped the woman's :
waist with one arm and bridge post

useful discovery to preserve plants

especially in the line of harvesting machinery We
were more particularly impressed with the exhibit

their Portland branch house managers Messrs. Sta

consisted of three engines, one-horse power four
separstors, one header and last but not least large
