FAIRS.

The present week has been busy
one for Fairs. The Kenosha county
and Racine county Fairs both occurred
on the same days; these conflicting ar
rangements should have been avoided.
Both counties were originally but one
territory, and their interests are very
much alike. Both have agricultural,
dairy and manufacturing interests
There doubtless would have been a
disposition in both counties to inter-
change visits had the Fairs been on
different days. The expositions in
Chicago and Milwaukee haveboth been
open the, past week, and both have
drawn visitors from this county.

BRISTOL.

On Saturday evening r. F. Roberts
was thrown from his buggy turning
the corner from the Wood farm to the
Geneva road. He was unconscious for
a time. Mr.. E. H. Devlin was just by,
and he drove Mr.. Roberts home in his
buggy, leaving his own team to the
care of Freddy Roberts. Mr.. Roberts
has felt the shock some, but has not
been laid up.
At Wesley Chapel last Sunday the
minister gave discourse on the Freed
men and poor whites of the South.
He gets out some fine ideas, but re-
peats them too much. If he gets over
that error he will make a good preach
er. A collection was taken up, but I
did not learn the amount.

day.
The Ladies Foreign Missionary So
ciety of Bristol M. E. church was held
at the parsonage last week. Quite
large number were present at the tea,

BUTTER MAKING A FINE ART

| look upon butter making as one of The fine
arts. No man or woman can make good
butter without the sensitiveness Of good
taste to recognize what constitutes the ex-
cellencies of butter. AS butter comes to me.
and | sell it for twenty or twenty-five cents
pound: BE- sells little higher: (Ys
higher still; while DIS brings thirty cents
regularly. l have been in diaries where
the flavor and working of the butter was ex.
cellent; but it goes down into the cellar and
stands several weeks before it is sent TO
market. There is hole in the cellar wall
where the air constantly enters; the tenn
perature is constantly changing, and the
butter changes too, or gets tainted. If far
mers will make their butter we'll, then put
it where it will keep. it will do much better
in the end. Perhaps the soil of q mans
farm is low, springy and wet, then the feed
will be sour, and you cannot get nice butter
out of that, either dairy or creamery. The
flavor of butter depends largely on the flavor
of feed. In order to make fine butter in the
winter time, the utmost cleanliness must be
observed; must wash the cows udder in
warm water and dry with q cloth. If the
atmosphere is bad, your milk will be tainted
1t depends upon circumstances whether il is
safe to set your milk down in On improperly
ventilated stable. AS soon as The milk
comes to the exact temperature of the sur
rounding air, it absorbs the impurities there

UTAH POLYGAMISTS.

Polygamy has not been arrested in
Utah by the Edmunds law $50 called
which forbids any one from being regis
tered as a voter who is in the practice
of polygamy. This law DISTINGUISHED
$4,000 persons, on account of their
more than one-wife practices, but still
the Utah legislature chosen at the last
election is almost unanimously Nor
mon. Declaring polygamists disquali-
fed as voters does not reach the case ;
there are Mormons enough who are
not practically polygamists to control
the elections. What more, then. can
Congress do? A Mormon cannot be
disfranchised because of his religions
belief; the Constitution of the u. s
tolerates alike all creeds, as well as
those of no creed. How, then, is this
vexed question to be met by further
Congressional legislation?

meetings the success Of the Republican
ticket in that State; whereupon some
of the Democratic presses in Iowa and
in other states have become much ex-
ercised. They profess to be concerned,
lest these clergymen should stain their
sacred profession by dabbling with
politics. Temperance now is as much
matter of politics as free-trade, tariff
or any other issue before the people.
The question in Iowa is, shall the liq-
uor traffic be suppressed, or shall it
continue to be tolerated? The issue
is clearly defined. The Republican
party of the State stand committed to
the abolition of the traffic: the Demo-
cratic party, which includes all the liq-
uor dealers of the state, protest against
the prohibition Of the sale. What
else can be expected of respectable
ministers of the gospel than that they
should take sides against the producing
causes of crime and yagabondism
What would be thought of ministers
in any decent community who should
espouse the cause of the rum sellers?
| However much the Democratic party
may complain, ministers have general
ly been found on the side of right and
justice. The country owes it to the
moral power Of ministers for its sup.
port in many time of peril. In the
dark days of the American revolution
the ministers Of various denominations
gave their moral influence to the cause
of freedom. On the breaking out OF
the rebellion in 1860, ministers hast.
ened to uphold the flag of the Union
and it was through their patriotic ap
Ipeals that our Union armies were re
enforced. And now when the best in
terests of society are invaded by the
liquor traffic, the ministers, with per
haps rare exceptions, are found on thu
side of law and order, temperance ani
Idecency.

MILWAUKEE, EKPOSITION.-
EDITORIAL BANQUET.

The Milwaukee Exposition, now
open to the public, is well worth visit
from every citizen of at least one day.
All who take an interest in the pro-
gress of improvement, in the depart
ment of industry and art, can hardly
fail of being instructed and benefited.
The city of Milwaukee is entitled to
much praise for it's liberality in pro-
viding such an institution. The origin
ato1s of it could not have calculated
upon it as a profitable Investment for
the stockholders. Expositions of this
kind do not usually pay dividends.
The banquet rendered to Wisconsin
editors, by the managers Of the Expo
sition on Wednesday, was attended by
about seventy-fve editors and news
paper reporters, with a sprinkling of
ladies. The company sat down to
handsomely furnished tables, supplied
with the delicacies of the season. Wine
was not included in the bill of fare;
those desiring it notified the walters
of their wants. At the conclusion of
the dinner, John HI. Plankinton, the
President, gave an address of welcome,
after which Geo. w. Allen, toast-mas-
ter, announced the toasts, which were
responded TO by EDITORS VINO nau Deen
designated for that purpose. The re-
sponses were generally in point and in
good taste. The editors present were
largely composed of highly intelligent
appearing young men. Everything
passed off pleasantly, although it may
not be out of place to note single
criticism. Quite a number of male
guests, while sitting at the tables, in
dulged freely in sending out volumes
of smoke from cigafs. Smoking has
its privileged places, where criticism
has no business to interfere; there are
also places where it is put under the
ban as an improperly, if not vulgar
ity..

.BuaLNE SS OUTLOOK.

The commercial reports from vari-
GUS centres of trade speak encourag-
ingly of the general business outlook
the coming fall season. Wholesale
dealers anticipate a large sale in the
usual goods required in the local mar
kets; there is no stringency in the
money market, and a feeling Of con-
tidence prevails. The loss or partial
failure of the corn crop, in one or more
states, does not materially affect the
general market; in some of the largest
corn growing states the crop has suf-
fered' but little or no injury. Besides,
in a country covering SO many degrees
of latitude and longitude as this, the
entire failure of any one farm product
is not probable. If the estimates of
the corn remaining over from last
year and now on hand be correct, there
will be no lack of this product to sup
ply the probable demand the coming
year. The loss by the frosts falls
heavily on some localities, but fortu-
nately it is not universal.

The American people are proverbial
for inventions; the phrase Yankee
invention" so common a quarter of a
century ago, is no longer applied to
New England as formerly. Thousands
OF people in all parts of the Union are
annually trying their skill in inven-
ton. The United States Commission
er Of Patents, in his recent reports.
states that 1,1s5 patents have been is
sued the past year. What visions of
wealth must have appeared before the
minds of this great multitude of inyen-
tors, as they made their applications to
have their contrivances patented +?
Some of these patents are unquestion-
ably valuable, but the great bulk of
them will never realize to the owner
the fees paid the patent office for the
cost of issuance. Such has been the
fate of an overwhelming proportion
of patents in past years.

CLEANING BRASS-

The United States Government method
prescribed for cleaning brass, and in use at
all the American arsenals, is claimed. to be
the best IN the world. The plan is 10 make
mixture Of one part common nitric acid
and one-half part sulphuric acid in a stone
jar, having also ready pail of fresh water
and box of sawdust. The articles to be
treated are dipped into the acid, then re-
moved into the water, and finally rubbed
with sawdust. This Immediately changes
them to brilliant color. If the brass has
become greasy, ii is first dipped in a strong
solution of potash and soda in warm water :
this removes the grease, so that the acid
has free power to act.

THE PROFESSION OF TEACHER,

The occupation of teacher is one of
surprising imposing Importance, re-
curing preparation and study; yet
how many young men and women
rush into the business of teaching
without preparatory training. 1t is
usually thought sufficient oualifica-
ton for teaching district or public
school to pass an examination in the
different branches of education re-
quired to be taught. How many
teachers have made it study as to
the best methods for imparting in
struction in the different branches of
education? How many examining
superintendent extend their inquiries
beyond what is found in the books in
common use in the schools? Not
long since in neighboring state a
large class of candidates for teachers
were asked by the examining officer
what books treating on the subject of
education they had studied? A ma
jority of them replied they had never
read any work or the profession Of
teaching. What would be said of a
candidate for lawyer or minister who
should make like answer? A quar-
ter of century ago the sentiment was
very generally expressed by the
friends of education that teaching
should be made distinct profession,
like all other professions. That idea
is just as important now as then, but
has relaxed its hold on the public
mind. Probably not one young wo-
man in fifty who now engages in the
business of teaching contemplates
making it profession; it is only en-
tered upon as temporary avocation,
to be given up when some change of
condition in life is presented.

chief among the Methodist papers in
the advocacy of the removal Of the
limitation prohibiting ministers from
occupying one preaching station for a
longer period than three years. The
policy of taking away this restriction
is now eliciting considerable discussion
in the denomination. There are two
sides to the question. In favor of per-
manent pastorate the case of Rev. DIR.
George is cited, who was appointed to
the Centenary church, Chicago, to sue
coed Rev. DR.. Thomas, an cratic
preacher, whose ministry in that
church, it is alleged, damaged its pros
perity. The passionate of DIR. George
came to an end by limitation short
time since. Rev. L. Meredith, of the
Rock River Conference, in letter
published in the Northern Christian
Ad0ocote, speaks of the pastorate of
DR.. George at the Centenary church as
follows:
His labors during the three years
have been herculean in paying off
heavy debts and in layinc deep and
broad foundations for future prosper
lty. He has brought things to that
condition that would enable him for
years to come to build up great sue
cess, and could do it easier and to a
better advantage than any other man
living. But such are the peculiarities
of our system that he must be inter-
rupted right in the midst of his work"

SORGHUM SUGAR.

1t is gratifying to learn that the
frosts during the early part of the
present month have not materially
damaged the sugar cane in the neigh
bOrhoods of two of the principal
manufactures in the west Cham
paign, Illinois, and Sterling, Kansas.
The sorghum sugar works at Ster-
ling began operation nearly two weeks
ago by turning out twenty barrels of
good merchantable sugar per day.
These works, it is said, will turn out
100000 pounds of sugar this season.

night. In the morning pour off all the
water and melt both ingredients to a boiling
heat, after the manner of melting glue.
Pour off in a shallow pan and allow to stand

WILL THE COMING WOMAN

At the late Free Thinkers conven-

discussed, Will the coming woman
attend church," What conclusion the
discussionists arrived at is not stated,

"There will always be one Sunday
in the year when the coming woman
is not liable to attend church. That
is the Sunday before she gets her
Spring bonnet. But the Sunday after
that wild horses can't keep her away"

which had such a fine prospect of
abundance three weeks ago, has been
nearly ruined by the late frosts. In

This is bad for the owners of large
Cranberry tracts, but much worse for

1t is stated that a minister in a
church in Connecticut, a short time
since, was dismissed by his congrega-
ton for preaching stolen sermons. !"
If it really be a theft for a minister to
preach a sermon which has before
been preached by some other clergy
man, it is one of the most excusable
kind. All preachers are not instruct
i've sermonizers, and it frequently
happens congregation would expert
ence a gSeat relief if the. preacher
would use the production of some
other man instead of his own.
The State Agricultural Fair held at
Madison last week is represented as
having been one of the most success
tul ever held in the state, not only in
point of number of people in attend
ance, but in the display of live stock
and agricultural machinery on exhi-
Dltlon. The largest attendance on any
one day is estimated at $4,000.
Besides the wonderful improvement
IN agricultural machinery since the
earliest State Fairs, there has been
largely corresponding improvement
IN the grades of horses, cattle, sheep
and swine. Could the State Agricul-
tural Fair of 1850 have been repro
duced, and placed by the side of the
late Fair at Madison, the contrast
would have been striking. The i'm
proved domestic animals the past
thlrty-tiye years have been marked.
