81 notice that they are going to tax
bachelors in France, murmured
Dora, reading from the paper David
had just laid down.
"Thst isn't right, frowned David,
biting nervously at his aftersupper
cigar, their lot is hard and unhappy
enough as it is. 3"
Dora got up and kissed David at
this suggestive remark. They had
been married only few months.
Time swept on in that calm and re-
lentless fashion for which time is
celebrated, and Dora is the mother of
six weeks old baby. At intervals,
also, David is reminded that he is
joint proprietor in this family acqui-
sition, which has studied ambition
for sitting up nights in company with
its father.

Farm Butter Msking.
BY A sUooEssFrL DAIRYMAN.

A majority of dalries, large and
small. still make tutter that will not
keep, through ignorance of the first
principles of butter making, for no
farm produce pays better to make
ertrd tine, than butter, and no article
is more critically judged by the con-
sumner
To have good butter, it is important,
first of all, to remember that whatever
breed of cows IL used, they should be
in good flesh. fed with sweet, nutri-
tious food, have plenty of pure water,
and be comfortably stabbed. For
feed, there is nothing better than mix
ed grasses, grown upon drained or
high land, and corn meal, with shorts
or bran, and few roots to keep the
COW healthy. The same herd of cows
in low FISH, kept upon lowland grass
or hay, with no meal, will naturally
make whIte butter with little or no
flavor. For making good butter
at all seasons of the year
there must be some conven-
fence for making the cream. ! Use
the common open pans, each holding
one milking, and | am satisfied that
good butter can be made from hot or
cold, deep or shallow setting.
At this season of the year in small
diaries there is often trouble in churn
ing. usually because the milk Is set in
an unsuitable place. The atmosphere
ought to be about 65 degrees and the
cream should be churned at that tenn
uerature. In summer the tempera-
ture OF the milk-room may be from 80
to 65 degrees. The milk may stand
as hours before skimming; should it
sour. it should be skinned oftener,
but it should not be allowed to thick
en- before skimming In winter the
cream SHOULD be kept in a warm room,
and churned every other day, or
wien it is slightly acid and the maker
should carefully stir the cream togeth
err after each skimming. 1t IS adyis-
able to skim some milk with the
cream. but not too much.
When the cream IS ready to churn,
try the temperature by setting the tin
cream pals. as required, in elthe" hot
or ice cold water. stirring the cream
with one hand, holding the Their,
mometer in the other until the desired
temperature is obtained. Temper the
churA by first scalding then cooling.

The nnnrers Of RnIIooning.

The fascination of ballooning is
akin to that of gambling. These is a
glorious uncertainty whether the
aeronaut will come back to be feted
and quizzed by men of science, or
whether many sorts of unpleasant
things will happen to him Colonel
Burnaby took his life in his hands
when, alone, an amateur, he set out
for Dover, in 1882, to cross the chan
mel. 1T was glorious risk, and the
result was a great prize, a portion OF
Immortality which the gallant officer
could scarcely have achieved by even
battle or another Ride to Khiva. y
That the risk was very real can be
readily imagined and repeatedly
shown by his presidents. In 1875,
Donaldson and Grimwood assembled.
A month later Grimwood's mangled
body was found with a melancholy
joke about his having at last risen in
the world. In 1879, Professor Wise
and one Burr went up in the Path
finder" to test a theory about an
Eastern current. 1t was costly way
of finding out which way the wind
blew. Burr's body was found on the
shore of Lake Michigan, but the Pro-
fessor's fate is yet uncertain. AT an
ascension in South America the gas
bag burst into flames thousands of
feet above the horriGed spectators,
and the aeronauts did not survive to
tell how the fire started. Equally
fatal, and far more thrilling was the
ascent of Captain Sivel, CASTOR lis
sander, and Croce Spinelli. They set
out in the Zenith" in 1875 to rival
the Glaisher's reported altitude of
1000 yards. At about five miles
high two of them were suffocated, Tis-
sander alone surviving. This is, per
hsps, a demonstration of the limits
where life can be sustained. The
voyage of La Vidouvillais, in 1888,
was also singular. 1t escaped from
its fastenings and scared four miles
high, with Mdlie. Alberteen fainting
in the car and Nj. Gratien swinging
below, caught merely by loop of
rope around two fingers, Strangely
enough, they both came down safe
ly. Shortly before, an American cap
tive balloon escaped, carrying a gym
mast clad in tights and clinging to
life solely by the grips OF his fingers,
In an hour he was carried go miles,
and came down safely. Not less
terrifying was Mark Quinlan's .ex-
perience in Boston in 1878. He went
up to test flying machine. When so
high that the rarifed gas was begin
ming to burst It's envelope, he sought
to descend To his horror the ma
chine would not work. He coolly
tied his ankle to tie framework,
swung beneath it, frightened loosen.
ed screw while. dashing earthward at
nearly railway speed, climbed back,
started the apparatus, and escaped,
as so brave man always should.
The worlds biggest balloon was
probably that at the Paris Exposition.
1t would carry 80 persons 700 yards
high in II minutes at charge of q
francs each. 1t was 36 metres in
diameter, 2,4O0 in volume, and vas
pulled down by a 300 horsepower
engine. The envelope was half an
inch thick, the total cost was 500, 900
francs, and il was sold for 800, 00(
francs, but it was burst by the wind
and was ruin in twenty seconds.

Mutton Raising in the West.

There is big future for the mutton
raising industry Of the West. Sheep
Olen are realizing more than ever that
they will have to do more than raise
wool that they will have 20 look
more closely TO all their resources,
and pay some attention to making
mutton. Most of our western sheep
growers have virtually thrown away
the c9rcaSes Of their sheep. But the
pressure of low prices for wool,
foreign competition, ETC., compels
them to do more than grow sheep
merely for the wool they produce
There is an unceasing demand for
mutton, and apparently diminish
ing demand for wool. There certain
ly is falling off in the demand for
common wool. 1t is being displaced
largely by cheap adulterations.
The same is true of common butter.
There is no profit in making low grade
natural butter, because artificial but
ter is better and cheaper. There is as
vet no substitute for meat, and the
demand for good meat of all kinds,
and particularly mutton, is growing
more rapidly than the sources of sup
ply, Recently a Chicago dressed
meat concern commenced killing and
shipping to the east 400 sheep per day
This is the business that will put
stability and profit in the mutton
trade.
Now we want regular Supplies OF
good stock, else buyers will be unable
to do as we'll as they would like to do.
In fact, the chief cause of the nervous
ness and unreliability in the sheep
market has been the fact that supplies
of desirable have been so spasmodic
that capitalists have been unable
heretofore to base any calculations
upon the trade. Give us double
decks from the west, and the mutton
market will soon be as reliable as
the cattle or sheep markets. -Droyers

The MOrmOns in Arizona.

Colonel II. A. Percy, in New York Tribune
During the past summer 2, 900 MOI
mons have crossed over into Arizona,
SO that now we have about 5000 Of
these outlaws in our territory. They
have all taken up government land.
They locate il COLONIES" and in
many wards and precincts hold the
balance OF power, and elect their jus
tees of the peace. These are but the
advance of the hordes that are to fol-
low. Immigration is coming in from
Europe to such an extent that Utah
cannot hold them all, and they must
seek other fields and more desirable
lands. Their Hext step,
when their members have increased,
will be to control some of the county
elections, and have voice in the Sc
lection OF the territorial delegate, as
they now have in Idaho and Montana.
Next spring, when the usual exodus
from Utah to Arizona begins, it would
not surprise me if trouble occurred.
We can stand the Chinese, but not
Mormon polygamists.

Is Hurst a Humbug ?

The Missoula Times seems to think
that the biggest hunlbug travelling in the
northwest is Lulu Hurst and says t "a.
is nothing whatever either miraculoo- o,
meritorious about her exhibition. II y
not even as good as third rate sleisht
of hand performance. For instance a
man is requested to hold a chair firmly
up against his body and stand still him
self. Miss Hurst then places her hands
on the chair The man is to endeavor
to hold the chair still and also stand still.
BY cool, well-trained and not very severe
exertion she keeps the man Keeling about
the stage. The secret ofthe trick lies in
the fact that man goes upon the stage
in q state of excitement and tries SO hard
to stand and hold the chair that every
muscle is tightly drawn, and he sands
stiff like post, easily pushed about. If
he could mold the chair out from his
body and leave his arms limp he will
wager that Miss Hurst could do nothing
with him.
The Independent, Herald, Inter- Noun.
tain and Miner unite in claiml~g that
the numerous and various investigators
have been unable, thus far, to agree as
to whether Miss Hurst performs her feats
by means of some subtle and inexplica-
bic magnetic or electric force, or by the
clever application of remarkable muscu-
lar power. Those who have experiment
ed with the young lady are greatly divid-
ed upon this pint, but it seems that a
young. unframed girl should not be able
to wholly overcome strong and trained
athletics without the least apparent ex-
ertion.

Merciful to Missoula.

Mr.. Z. Noonan, representing the Nor
thern Pacific Elevator Co. arrived in
Mis>oula last week on a mission of im.
portance to all the material interests of
that county. He came to make an ar
ransement if possible, to purchase wheat
on cash basis and ship it out of the
country. In conversation with :
Times it was understood that the i
road company realizes the paralysis L
has overtaken the farming interests OF.
Montana. The company knows full well
that its own treasury must sitter greatly
when stagnation is universal here. With
prosperous times among the farmers all
branches of trade and industry would
also thrive. and the railroad would reap
. large share OF the benefit. The railroad
and elevator companies are closely allied
and it is their favor as we'll as to their
interests to help build up the Northwest.
Mr.. Noonan stated that the railroad
company had made a special rate where
by grain could be shipped from M" Ia
as cheaply as from the Missouri givu.,
the rate being $500 per ton or only about
one-seventh the rate of freight on small
quantities.

A Straight Tip.

Some of the leading journals represent
ing the mining interest of the territory
are urging against Hon. Joseph X. Toole
the Democratic nominee for Delegate to
Congress, that he opposed the clause in
the new constitution exempting the
mines from taxation, claiming that he
should not receive the support of the
mining population for this reason. This
is unjust and unfair. as the position Of
Mr.. Toole in this matter will in no wise
effect his usefulness as delegate in Con-
gress, and the question Of taxing mines
does not in any way enter into the mer-
its of the delegate question. And if it
did it would be impolitic to oppose the
Democratic nominee upon such grounds,
when the position Of his opponent is ull-
defined. It is not the province Of the
Husbandman, although an independent
journal, to discuss partizan issues and it
is not our intention to do SO, and no one
would regret more than We to see the
delegateship mixed up with this question
of taxation; but if it sought to ifijure Mr..
Toole's prospects, upon the grounds that
he is opposed to class legislation, he has
nothing to lose in the issue for in such
contest the farmers and stock-growers,
and in fact the taxpayers everywhere,
who has put himself on record as their
friend. We do not know how Mr..
Knowles stands upon the question. Pos
sibly he may entertain similar views to
his opponent; but whether for against
we trust his views may not he called
forth, and that further opposition to the
Democratic nominee upon these grounds
will cease. But if the journals represent
ing the mining interests insist upon keep
ing the matter before the people and sue
coed in getting an expression from Mr..
Knowles, favoring exemption, thereby
making issue on the question, we are
ready to support Mr.. Toole and shall do
our utmost to rally to his standard every
farmer and stock-grower throughout
