WASHING RITTER.

The only time that all the butter-milk
and what it contains can be separated
from the butter, and removed without
to knead or overwork the
butter is while the butter is yet in a
form. IF the churning be so
far advanced that the butter will be
gathered in a large lump, it will have all
through the lump more or less butter
milk, in which butter-milk there will of
course be membraneous or Gaseous or
other solid matter. Not only will the
grain of the butter be injured by the
kneading required to remove this butter
milk, but the kneading will remove little
else than the liquid of the buttermilk,
leaving much Of its solid matter incer-
porated with the butter. The kneading
of the butter tends only to press and
solidify all the solid matter of the mass
squeezing out only liquid. Moreover.
when the butter-milk is gathered into a
lump of butter, any faint or impurity in
the butter-milk, by closer, longer. even
permanent contact with the butter,
materially Injuries the quality of the
butter. If, on the other hand, the but
ter-milk and all it contains be drawn
away before the butter has advanced
beyond the granulated form. a more
perfect result is secured.
By washing the butter at a low tenn
perature with water and brine, the but
ter-milk and all it contains NAV be re-
moved from it, and before any faint or
impurity has been given to the butter,
and the grain be saved from the knead-
ing that otherwise would be necessary
In this process butter will be taken out
comparatively little affected by defects
or faint in cream. Cream may be adj
vanced more or less toward bitter taste
or decay, and the butter because being
enclosed in and protected by its pellicle,
not yet affected. 1t is because of this
protection that sweet butter can be made
from sour cream. Sourness is an adj
vancement toward decay. 1t is equally
true that the cream may be more or less
bitter and the butter hidden away in it
be yet sweet. When churned, the sour
ness or bitter is in the butter-milk and
the butter is yet pure. The butter-milk
adds its sour or bitter taste to the butter
according to the quantity and time of its
presence with the butter. The obvious
remedy is the quickest and most COM

BETTING.

For weeks preceding the election q
larger business was done in betting
than ever before. The enthusiasm on
both sides was so intense, and the con-
test so close between the parties, that
thousands were induced to exercise
their skill at guessing, and to express
confidence in their judgment by stalk
ing money. The men who ordinarily
do the betting have no better means
for calculating the probable results of
the election than other people, and often
have less intelligent idea of the stu
alton than the average crowd. The
laws of this state, and probably of no
state in the Union, give countenance
to betting. The law allows the losing
party to recover back of the winner
money or property lost in bet; but
so common has the practice of betting
become, the loser does not brave pub
lie opinion by availing himself of the
right to recover his loss. Our stat
utes treat betting as against public
policy, and therefore make void all
wagers as having no binding force.
The conclusion. therefore, is, that the
wisest lawmakers have in all times
discouraged betting.

TIRE LATEST FROM THE OFFICIAL
CANVASS.

The official count in New York is
progressing slowly. Many errors have
been discovered, which are merely
clerical, and have not materially
changed the general result for some
days. Most of the returns outside the
city of New York have been examined
and corrections made where necessary
to conform to the law. The Republic
ans are now relying on the discovery
of frauds in the city, where in past
years violations of election laws have
net been uncommon. Cleveland has
for some days past been few hun
dred ahead, but the past two days his
apparent majority has been somewhat
diminished. The New York Tribune
of yesterday morning says the major
i,y will probably not be over 500 either
way. Republicans do not give it up
while there is a ray of hope.

WHAT DO THE WISCONSIN,
PROHIBIITONIS1,S IN
TEND TO no NEYT

The election is over; the newly
elected legislature will assemble at
Madison in little less than two
months and be in readiness for business.
The prohibitionists will very likely seek
some legislation to carry out their
plans, and will apply to the lawmakers
for that purpose. Having deliberately
taken a position hostile to the Repub-
lican party in the late election, and
many of their lecturers having taken
special pains to abuse the party from
which all legislation in the past has
emanated of any value for the promo
tion of temperance, modesty will pre-
clude the prohibitionists from asking
the Republican legislators for special
fayors. To whom, then, should the
prohibitionists go for legislative en-
actments? They have right to apply
boldly to the Democratic party, which
they have befriended and rendered i'm.
portant service. If the Democrats and
their brethren, the liquor dealers, are
not ungrateful, they will listen to the
prayers of the prohibitionists and heed
their requests. 1t would be ungra-
cious for them to do otherwise.
Certainly the Democrats cannot treat
the prohibitionists so shabbily as to
turn deaf ear to their petitions.
Democratic members of the legislature
in many of the northern states are in
debted to the prohibitionists for their
election. Such is believed to be the
case in Wisconsin. Surely these men,
bers ought to realize their obligation to
do good turn to their helpers.
The Republican legislature of this
state will probably not deviate from
its line Of duty in the matter of tom
perance legislation because of the
damage done the party by the prohibit
tionists. Whatever enactments in re-
lation to the traffic in alcoholic liquors
can be sustained by public sentiment
will doubtless receive favorable atten-
tion. No authorized statement has
yet appeared from the prohibition
leaders, showing how much they have
accomplished in the past campaign for
the object they seek to gain? Is con-
stitutional or legislative prohibition
any nearer than before, or is it more
remote by helping the enemies of pro
hlbition into power? 1t is not our in
tention to arraign the great body of
prohibitionistS as Intentional workers
OF mischief; there are many good and
well-meaning men in their ranks, but
their strange political action has been
a matter of establishment. ReDub-
llcanS lost much by their unwarrant-
able alienation, but they have gained
nothing. There were 10000 prohibit
tion votes cast IN the state of New
York. Four-fifths of these came from
the Republican party, and but
fraction of these would have saved
the Union from the calamity of elect.

TIRE FINAL RESULT STILL QUES-
TIONABLE.

There are but few situations more
unpleasant than one of suspense. The
result of the Presidential election at
this writing is still in doubt, and re-
mains to be officially declared. The
Democrats, like hungry wolves, could
not wait the official canvass by the
properly constituted authorities, but
proceeded to proclaim the election of
Grover Cleveland a week ago, and call
ed on the party throughout the coun-
try to celebrate the triumph. They
may have guessed right or not, but be
that as it may, it was indecent haste,
and the object of it was well under
stood. 1t was an attemp to prepare
the public mind to resisEthe final de-
cision if it should prove in favor of
the election Of Blaine and L )gan. As
evidence that the Democrats based
their calculations of the election of
Cleveland on unofficial and vague re-
ports, is the fact that the leading
Democratic papers in New York, from
day to day, after the announcement of
the election of Cleveland, materially
changed their figures of the claimed
majority.
On the other side, the Republicans
have been calmly waiting for the
official canvass, without clustering or
noisy demonstrations. Both the Ma
tional Republican committee and the
committee Of the State of New York
have declared to the public if Cleve-
land is declared on legal count to
have received but one majority his
election will be conceded without re-
monstrance. This was an honorable |
position of the committees, and one
which all right-minded men must ap.
prove. There can be no just cause for
complaint at the delay in reaching the
final result. A state casting over a
million votes, divided among different
Presidential candidates, needs careful
scrutiny, especially in such a close
election.

WISCONSIN ELECTION.

In no state of the Union did the Re-
publicans do better than in Wisconsin.
With all the odds and ends of opposing
forces-the solid liquor interest, in
close embrace with the Democratic
party; the Personal Liberty League,
a new organization which insists on
every persons right to drink as much
whisky and as often as he pleases; the
ProhibitionistS, having for candidates
men who were formerly popular in
the Republican party; yet with all
this array Of opposition, the Republi-
cans carried the state by from $4,000
to $1,000 majority. In this first dis
trict, L. B. Caswell, the Republican
candidate for Congress, has 1890 ma
jority. Milwaukee, which has long
had the reputation of being the Demo-
cratic stronghold in the state, elected
a Republican to Congress, in place of
Deuster, who voted for Morrison's free
trade bill at the last session of Con-
gress. Milwaukee also elects all the
Republican candidates for county
officers by majorities ranging from
$40 60 1900. Wisconsin makes a gain
of four members of Congress: the next
representation in Congress from this
state will stand Republicans and 2
Democrats. With Republican ma
jority in both Houses Of the state leg
islature, the election Of Republican
United States Senator is assured next
winter. The grand success Of the Re-
publican party in this state is due to
the thorough organization in most o
the counties.

EXTENSION or SUFFRAGE IN
ENGLAND.

Gladstone's suffrage bill has passed
to third reading in the House Of Com
mons, without open opposition. Before
it becomes a law Of the realm it will
have to pass the House of Lords,
where the same measure has heretofore
been defeated. It is believed the
House Of Lords will not dare to defeat
the bill a second time. The bill great
ly enlarges the right of suffrage. and
comes near Americanising England
and Ireland in the matter OF repre-
sentation. The Irish members of Par
lament, who have been In the habit Of
opposing all measures originated BY
Gladstone, did not venture to vott
against the suffrage bill, inasmuch al
it was intended to benefit Ireland, BY
giving that country a larger represen
tation in the House Of Commons. Par
nell, the Irish leader in the House
together with his party, voted for tn
suffrage bill.

Why is it that mutton is so little used,
and that farmers use rather less of it
than town and city people ?.asks the
National Stockman. We can account for
it on no other grounds than the quality
of the mutton furnished. Much more
mutton is used in England than in this
country, and it always commands from
2 to 6 cents more per pound than the
best beef. If this is caused by their
mutton being so much better than ours,
then we should bring ours up to their
standard. There is no reason why
Americans should not consume as much
mutton as Englishmen, and no reason
why we cannot raise just as good mutton
as they can. 1t is quite necessary that
flock-masters should cultivate every
means of increasing their market, and
by that means their revenue. This cal
be done by no better way than by slim
ulating the consumption of mutton, by
supplying the demand with first elias
article.

POPULAR CAN IT BE Re-
VIVEDi
A quarter of century ago almost
every city and important village had
its course of lectures. 1t was then a
matter of pride with people of intelli-
gence and culture to sustain entertain.
ments of this kind, calculated to ele-
vate the standard of thought. But the
day of lectures has passed. This would
not be so unfortunate if some other
public entertainment, equally as in
tellectual, had been substituted in place.
Cheap theatricals,. comic shows and
minstrel troupes have superseded and
driven most of the once popular lee
turers from the platform. Some at
tribute the loss of interest in lee
lures to the decline of oratory and elo
quence on the part Of those who take
to the vocation of lecturers. This is
probably not the real cause, although
it may have some influence; nor is it
because the people have taken to the
reading of the popular literature of
the times, and have lost interest in
lectures; nor can it be said without
offensiveness that the public taste has
degenerated.
The question has been asked, how
can the lecture system be revived and
once more rendered popular? 1t is
suggested if themes were chosen by
lecturers different from those former
ly common, new impulse might be
given. The subjects selected by lee
turers years ago were not debatable,
nor of class calculated to provoke
difference of sentiment. The audience
retired from the lecture hall, not to
discuss the doctrines or theories of the
speaker, but to express their likes and
dislikes Of his delivery and the degree
of interest with which he invested the
theme of his discourse. Would it not
be an improvement in this age of in
lquiry if lecturers should choose fol-
their subjects some of the moral, so
cial, philosophical and governmental
problems which are now being discuss
ed by the most profound minds in thi.
! and other countries? Would it not be
better to produce some friction, bring
; ing minds in contact with minds, in
! citing to discussion, investigation anc
research? A lecture which is simpl,
pleasing-which opens no new field O
J inquiry-which raises no doubts, bu
accords with every PERSONS judge
, ment, may afford an agreeable past
time for an hour, but stirs no thoughts
into activity, reaching out after here
