suits were demonstrated 10 be uniform
= interesting as showing the fallacy oil
the current opinion that souring is the
patent agent in ripening cream, either
for the purpose of heightening the flavor
OF butter or to give it Bookkeeping. or TO
make churning easy, for it proves posi-
lively that something else than sourino
IS necessary to these ends. and tina
something is free oxygen. Airing. NOT
sourIng, IS the efficient agent for effect
ing these purposes, but even if well aired.
the effect will be but feeble if the tenn

They explain why cream, in being sep
arated by centrifugal machine, while
fresh from the COW, and sweet and
warm, will develop more flavor in a
minute, by the powerful airing it GETS
from currents made by the lightning
speed with which it rotates, than can be
developed in a day under ice-water with
an effectual exclusion from air. the de
veloping agent. 1t is true, cream may
be quickly raised by refrigeration, and
warmed and ripened afterwards, but not
with the best effects. Cream which is
growing old without growing better is
deteriorating and since it has been
shown that eration is essential to prop
er ripening, it must be evident that it
can not be as effectually aired after it is
collected into a mass as it can be when
1T IS spread out on the surface of the
milk at just the right temperature.
The facts above stated are not offered
with any thought Of settling the question
whether aeidity plays any part in ripen-
ing cream or developing butter flavor.
for they do not decide whether the in
fiuence Of airing is increased or dimin-
lshed or not at all affected by the fact of
sourlng, but they do demonstrate that
souring alone does not develop any new
or improved flavor in the butter fats. and
they prove that airing is absolutely es-
Genital. Neither are they intended to
decide whether open setting, submerging,
the centrifugal or some other mode Of
separating cream is the most profitable
for general adoption. They are offered
for the purpose of explaining the ground |
for remarks in a previous number about

tons are taken, and with the hope of |
giving some useful hints to amateur but |
ter makers by way Of pointing them to
the most efficient cause of superior in
fiuence.-Prof L. B. Arnold an Tribune.

THE BODIES OF THOMAS AND
WILLIAM WEIGH FOUND.

Our readers will remember the sad
death of Thomas and William Welch, Of
Brighton, in this county, near Crested
Butte, Col, last winter. They were
working by themselves in a mining claim
in O-Be-Joyful basin, and the day before
Christmas they started from their lonely
cabin on the steep mountain side to 90
to Crested Butte to spend the holiday
with friends from this county. Neither
of them was ever after seen alive, and
the track of a snoW-slide down the
mountain side across which they had to
pass showed how they had met their fate.
Search was made for the bodies at the
time, but the mountain of snow at the
foot of the slide was searched in vain,
and finally the effort had to be abandon
ed until the snow melted.
Two months ago younger brother OF
the deceased, James Welch, went to
Crested Butte, and again took up the
search. For weeks he has been at work,
aided by the miners at Crested Butte
and the surrounding camps, who gen
erously lent their assistance in the search
for the dead bodies, but not until Tues
day evening of last week were they
found.
On Monday a hat and a snow-shot
were found, and early Tuesday morning
a dozen or more Of the miners went t
the place and began shoyeling in the
snow. They worked al day and almos
until dark before the objects of tn,
long search We're found The two bodies
i were not ten feet apart and were in
good state Of preservation. They Wer

i There have been several cases o
poisoning this summer in different part
of the country from eating ice cream
favored with vanilla The symptom:
| are similar to those of the persons
| poisoned in this city two or three year,
ago from the same cause. Mr.. Crotzen
berg, the manufacturer of extracts ii
| this city, says that Tonqua beans arr
substituted for Vanilla by many manu-
| facturers of extracts, on account d
being much cheaper. Tonqua beans
are poisonous.
The storm on Wednesday morning
did considerable damage to the crops in
this county. Fruit trees were stripped,
the standing grain was laid fiat in the
mud, and corn was leveled to the
ground. Mr.. Hiram Ferry, of Benton,
ILL.,, who was in this city on Wednesday
says the wind took off a portion of the
| top of his house. The roofs were blown
off Champion Reeves and Clarence
Williams houses in Bristol, and large
hen house of DIR. Paddock's, in Salem,
was blown down The chickory factory
lately erected three miles south of Ra-
cine was blown down, and the new stock
sheds at the exposition grounds, Racine,
were badly wrecked. At Eagle Lake the
tents of the people camping there were
blown down.
A few weeks ago it was reported that
there was good prospect of getting a
new depot at this place, as Mr.. Wheeler,
prominent official of the G. & n. w.
R. R. was here looking over ground for
that purpose. Now we learn that the
company claim to be too poor to build
depot here, and the prospect IS that our
citizens will have to endure the comforts
of waiting at the handsome, commodi-
Gus and well-ventilated structure (suit-
able for a coal shed) that has done
service here for many years. Out on
such parsimony. The Chicago & North
western Railway Company derives a
larger revenue from Kenosha than from
Racine, yet we have almost the worst
looking and most inconyenient depot of
any large town on the line between
Chicago and Milwaukee. Our citizens
should wake up and insist on having a
depot that will not be disgrace to the
town.
One of the most pleasant socials given
in this city for a long time was that
given by the young folks of this city in
Simmons Hall on Friday evening oil
last week The music by Freiberg's
band, of Chicago, was enchanting, the
toilets of the ladies exquisite, and the
elegant. Among those
present from abroad were Mr.. and Mrs. |
Van Wyck, of Milwaukee; Mrs. Geo.
Hale and Miss Sprague, of Chicago 4
Miss Mosemann, OF st. Louis Miss |
GARRISON, of Omaha Messrs. Steele,
Rogers, Griswold and Baker, of Racine. |

Mesdames L. Balm, Kehlor, Reamer,

They were benumbed with cold, but succeeded
in keeping the neighboring buildings soaked

before yesterday he turned in $11.20 for

that the dullneSs of business is owing to

bits residence on the last day on which the
Vanderbilt picture galleries were to be open
to strangers Applicants for admission during
the last two months had been supplied with
tickets good for any Thursday in February.
and the recipients of these favors in the
majority OF cases, seem to have delayed their
visits, so that, while at first there was no
crowd, at the end the help Of the police was
necessary to keep the well-dressed and
generally polite but impatient multitude
in order. An injury having pre-
viously been done to the S25,OOO portrait of
Vanderbilt, in a manner to indicate possible
malice, the millionaire decided not to expose
it to further danger. 1t was not therefore
on view. The other treasures of art were
watched by ten detectives in civilian dress,
and any effort to spoil or steal woul have
been promptly discovered
