AGRICULTURE.

BAD BUTTER. Is sour OF
cheesy because of the milk or cream
being kept at too high temperature, or
the butter, after forming in the'churn,
was still churned and gathered in the
buttermilk which should have been at
once drawn off and water or brine
(which is far better substituted to both
gather and wash. Butter is mottled
because the salt which raises the color
has not touched those spots showing
light while it should be thoroughly and
uniformly mixed in, or strong brine
TSlile the butter is in Rranule form does
it about equally as well, Soft butter
has various causes, overworking the
chief one; in this case it will get solid,
cut and try smoothly exposed to cold,
but slight heat softens it readily.
SCRUB CATrLE.-The American Agri-
cultllrist, even has got down to seeing
what might be made of our scrub cattle
by proper attention. The good qualities
of a COW are not so much IN the breed
as IN the attention the COW receives.
Careful selection and good attention
through number of generations would
be apt TO give rs as good stock as is to
be found IN any of the imported breeds.
with the additional advantage of entire
hardness. The Jerseys, and their
grades, says the Agriculturist, are al
ways better fed and cared after than are
the common stock, and that makes them
better mixers, and so on. The scrubs
are always neglected and. as a natural
consequence, they pay back their treat
ment in like com.

CAPT. OF THE STEAMER FLORIDA.

Another Atlantic steamship has
gone down in midocean and over
one hundred and thirty persons have
sacrificed their lives for the probable
carelessness of the officer in the i'm
mediate charge of the Inflated vessel
at the time of her collision with
sailing bark. Ocean horrors of this
character naturally create the in
quiry; "Who was to blame?" The
world naturally infers, where there
appears to have been carelessncss on
the part of the officers and crew,
that the captain of ship as the re-
sponsible head, should bear the
criticism and censure of horror
stricken public. The information
thus far cleaned from the rescued of
the Florida, is substantially as fol-
lows:
Capt Sadler had retired TO his stated DOM for
rest, leaving the vessel in command of the First
officer, TO whose negligence if the disaster could
have been avoided at all, must be attributed the
terrible loss of life that followed upon the crash
of the two vessels. That thts officer was one of
the rescued, While Capt. Sadler persisted with all
the passengers but one, is an apparent inference
that the latter was not at the moment more pre-
pared or capable of saving his own life than
were those who suffered his own fate.
Capt ]. W. Sadler's birth. place was Yarmouth,
England. He was little over forty eight years
of age. After receiving a good education he
became a sailor, and was rapidly promoted until
he became the commander of a vessel. His
record is a navigator began with the captaincy
of a ship sailing between Glasgow and Nova
Scotia. Later he commanded a large ship be-
tween London and the East Indies. He then
became connected with the Estate Line" Com
pany as captain of the Stale of Virginia and the
State of INDIANA successfully. Last December
the company assigned him to the State of Florida
after its being overhauled at his suggestion.
When lost the State of Florida was on its return
voyage from New York to Glasgow the first time
under his command. He had been married
three times, but died childess. His first wife was
killed by an accidental fall from horse. HIS
second died of consumption. The third Mr..
Sadler survives her husband, and was at the
time of his loss, in Glasgow preparing a new
home which she had just bought for their future
residence. Thus endeth a calamity that reveals
in all its terror the perils of life on the ocean
aud the uncertainty of voyage across the bill
lowy deep.

Democratic state Convention.

convention of the democratic party Of the
state Of Wisconsin is hereby called to assemble
at Madison, on Wednesday, the 18th OF May,
1884, at u O'Clock, noon, for the purpose OF
electing twenty-five delegates = four rom the
state at large and two from each congressional
districts, vita alternates, to the national demo-
cratic convention at Chicago, on the sth day OF
July 1884; to place in nomination eleven presiden-
tiaI electors to be supported at the next general
election; to appoint state central committee
and to transact such other business as may prop
erly come before the convention. All democratic
and other citizens of Wisconsin who can unite in
an effort for pure, economical and constitutional
government, and those who believe that sub
stantial reduction of existing tariff duties is
demanded, not only as measure OF justice to
consumers, but one conclusive to the general
industrial prosperity, are invited TO join in cleo
ting delegates to this convention. Each senate
rial and assembly district will be entitled to two
delegates. WENDELL A. ANDERSON INN.

Soon after the assembling of con-
gress the senate passed resolution
to employ clerk for each senator
at the public expense. But the
lower house holds the purse strings,
and the committee on appropriations
does not take kindly to the senate's
new tangled plan for reducing the
revenue. A provision has been in
serted in the Legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill to the
effect that no money appropriated
by the bill should be used to pay
for clerical services for any senator
or representative.

A call for a prohibition state con-
vention to meet at Madison on Tues
day, June Sd, will be found inl this
issue Of The Democrat. 1t would
seem that there are few consistent
prohibitionists left. They cannot
all be made to believe that it is their
duty to so into the republican party
work side by side with low license
men to secure the repeal of internal
taxes on liquor, maintain the war
tariff and keep the bosses in office.

We are in receipt of copy OF
the Washington Post published by
Stilson Hutchins. 1t is fairly alive
with the spirit of tariff reform and
democracy. 1t is in favor of pushing
the fight for greater commercial free
dom in this presidential year of 1884,
and highly recommends speaker
Carlisle as candidate for president.
1t says:
mo Democrat has more confidence of his
own party and the respect of his opponants than
the Speaker of the house of Representative, and
no living stateman would make better Presl-
dent"

1t is a deplsrable fact that while
the revenue reformers in the dem
ocratic party are making a manly
fight against protection they are not
receiving the encouragement they
have right To expect from repub-
icans who favor q more enlightened
system than the present thieving
tariff. On the republican side
scarcely a voice is raised to demand
greater commercial freedom. The
Million, the new free trade paper
speaks in the following plain Ian
guage to the professed revenue re-
reformers in the Republican party:
Now that the democrats are all on record. it
is time for the republicans who believe, or pro-
fess to believe in reform, to let themselves be
heard. What do they propose to do? Are they
going to sit supinely in the galleries and let
the Morrisons and Hurds and Carlisles and
wattersons fight this fight out alone? Will they
Converses and the Kellsys, Kassons and McKin-
leys? They are not slow to taunt the democratic
reformers with their every failure, yet they
always put vote where it will most surely aid
in causing that failure. Suppose there had been
three more western democrats TO vote with Nor
rison. He would have triumphed. Is il any
wonder democrats get discouraged and talk OF
compromising and conciliating the Randall
faction while republican free traders vote with
that faction? Is there any consistency or hon
esty, or deeency in republican denunciation of
democratic coalition between free traders and
protectionists until republican free traders have
repudiated their own party and its coalition
with Randalls gang! Suppose there should be
a separation; or suppose the reform democrats |
should now in their righteous wrath at the
unholy alliance between republicans who pro-
tessed to be reformers and republicans and
democrats who don't-suppose they should go |
to Chicago and adopt ringing free trade plat
form and nominate ticket to correspond how !
many republicans who talk very loudly of re-
form would join them, and how many would /
vote for James G. Blaine, the representative not ,
only of extreme high tariff. but of every other
form Of public folly? How many Of them will
take this golden opportunity and repudlate the
corrupt alliance between their party and the
monopolists? prompt answer to
this personal question is demanded by every
consideration of patriotism, honesty, Selfrespect
manhood. We must have no shilly-shallying, no
Sinking on either side! The democratic re-
formers have done their best like men-better
than We had dared to hope they would do.
Will the republican reformers now do as well?
On their heads Will be the blood of projections
victims If the monster is not destroyed. 1t is
their opportunity. They must speak out, and
speak in tones that can be heard. If they don't
know what to do they must consult with each |
other and see what is best. They have waited |
to see what the democrats would do. That ex-
cuse for waiting is gone. and there is none |
other What are they going to do about it?'

The wool growers in convention
assembled have declared that they
will organize and vote for no man
who is not in favor of speedy res
toration of the Ubiquitous wool tariff
of 1867. Let the consumers of wool
act on the same principle and vote
for no man who is not in favor of
tariff reduction. There is no sense
in the government robbing Peter to
subsidize Paul. and if the Peters
would only object to being robbed
any longer the preplexing question
of a surplus revenue would be easily
settled.

The democratic county convention
to select delegates to attend the state
will be held at Dodge

sending delegates to Chicago. Start

Among the works of the late
Charles O'Conor is a little pham-
phlet on Democracy" which
ought to be in every American
household. In this volume the
great truths of democracy are most
clearly set forth, and the humbug-
gerry of protection fatism is fully
exposed. 1t would make a good
campaign document to combat the
misleading arguments of the Advo-
Gates of the spoiliation system in the
coming campaign.

The New York Sun has come to
the conclusion that it is impossible
to stem the tariff reform tide. 1t
would like to have the democrats
"let the tariff severely alone this
year." but thinks THAT will be diff
cult on account of the agitation
which has already gone so far and
become so hot.n
