The Creamery at Murfressboro

American.
The Stones River Creamery Com
pany is now getting 1000 pounds
of milk per day, from which are
made 60 pounds of butter and $50
pounds of cheese. The butter for
the most part is shipped to Atlanta
and sold at thirty-two cents per
pound. The company has an en-
gagement to furnish 700 pounds
per week to parties in that city.
The price of cheese is ten cents per
pound, but it will probably 6e re-
duced to eight cents.
The price paid for milk is twelve
and one halle cents per gallon. This
will grobably be reduced to eight
cents during the summer months.
The entire cost of the plant was
$4,000, including a steam engine
and other necessary fixtures. To
separate the cream from the milk a
Daniel Webster separa tor IS en-
ployed. This operation is per-
formed as soon as the milk is
brought in lfrom the country. A
large Blanchard ehurn, with ca
pacity of 200 gallons, run by steam
power, makes the butter. -Four
pounds of butter and seven pounds
of cheese are made from every 100
pounds of milk, making the daily
output of butter 100 pounds and of
cheese $50 pounds. At present
prices this realizes 1920 per day.
Only two persons, including the
fireman, are employed. 1t is esti-
mated that 81 a.day covers the cost
of labor. The other expenses are
butter tabs, cans for milk, cheese
clothes and boxes. 1t is estimated
that cents On every 100 pounds of
milk will cover these expenses.
Making the estimate on the daily
supply of 1000 lbs. of milk, the

Mexican Water-Carriers.

Guaymas says a letter from Mexico,
is built of brick and adobe, the bricks
being very large and thin, something
like the Roman brick in shape. They
are very soft, ;and although there is no
frost to affect them, there is something
in the weather which causes them to
crumble away almost like so much adobe.
The city has no wells, and, as yet, no
water works, with the exception of the
pipes of the railway company, from
which the houses Of its officers, beside
its shops and tanks, are supplied. The
water carriers are a curious local specta-
Gle. The public wells are at the upper
end of the town. and nude YaQui Indi-
ans may be seen there all the day, pull
ing up the water in buckets, standing
on staging beneath which donkeys
are coming and going with enormous
sacks of raw hide, riveted and water
tight, hanging down almost to the
ground on either side. When the
donkeys arrive, the bags arc fabby and
light. The naked Yaqui above pours
down the water in a glistening stream,
and the skins swell up until they hang
heavy and distended, like full paunch.
The donkeys then depart down the
street into the town on slow, dcliber-
ate walk, the large water bags swing
ing slowly as they go. Scantily clad
boys, happy looking, and brown as
berries, sit astlidc the hind quarters
and kick their bare heels necessarily
against the donkey's TANKS. There is
a bullock's horn in the bottom of each
bag, and when the horn is pushed up
it let's the water out into bucket, also
of raw hide. Water is sold for one real
twelve and a half cents a bag, or by
the bucketful for a cent or so. Alto
gether these water carriers are about as
orient al in aspect as anything on this
continent, and the lover of the pictur-
esque might regret the establishment of
the waterworks which, with many other
new things are to be introduced under
the awakening Of the land by railway.

Platinum and its Uses.

There is only one establishment in the
city where platinum articles are manu-
featured. The place is on Bond street,
the Industry being conducted on the
third floor of building. Although its
surroundings arc unpretentious, college
professors and scientific men from all
parts Of tie United States are familiar
with it, aud a very large business is
quietly carried on. It's proprietor, who
is an old resident of the city, was asked
the other day by a reporter for some
particulars regarding the trade in plat
mum.
''There isn't much to tell you" he
said. Yes, this is the only place Of
this kind in the city, and l have been
established here good many years.
Platinum, generally speaking, is one
third the value of pure gold. 1t is worth,
in round figure $ a Troy ounce, Most
of it come from the Ural districts of
Russia. We get it from Russia in what
is known as fiat stock, or sheets, and
IN thick wire rods"
''Isnt it found in America" asked
the reporter.
Not to any extent. We do get some
from Oregon and South America, but
not much, and the trouble now is that
the price is going up while there are no
supplies Forthcoming. 1t is manuIac-
tured chiefly for laboratory use in col
leges and elsewhere. The sheets and
wires are made into small vessels and
fine wires for experimental purposes, the
value of the metal consisting in its re-
sistance to heat 1t takes double the
heat to melt it that is required to work
cast iron. The articles made from it in
clude boilers, alembrics, crucibes, ST.
phOns, tubes, wire gaGze, blow pipes,
spoons, spatulas, refining siphons, and
jewellers coloring baskets | supply
colleges with these articles in all parts
Of the country"
The speaker here showed the reporter
apiece Of the sheet platinum. 1t meas
ures twelve inches long, by six inches
wide and was about half an inch thick.
1t had the appearance Of duh silver, and
was very heavy. "You might not think
1t, " he added, "but | would not take
1900 for that piece of metal. Its great
weight is something remarkable, as you
see, it is the heaviest of the commercial
metals
"What is increasing the demand fol
platinum was asked.
The electric lights. In those of the
incandescent description the platinum i,
used in the globe of the burner, being
the two fine wires that are fused in the
globe 10 connect with the leading cop
per wires. No other metal could be
come fused into the metal that would
not become oXidized. OF course, the in

crcases the demand for platinum. Why

was started, and were both using anC

Cathedral Windows of Paper.

One of the most remarkable uses to
which paper has been put of late years is
the manufacture Of zylonite, substance
which, at the Will of the manufacturer,
may be made in imitation of horn, rub
Der, tortoise shell, amber, and even
glass. The uses to which zylonite is
adaptable are almost infinite, but per
haps the most extraordinary is the manu-.
facture of cathedral windows. The dis.
covery was made by an Englishmar
named Spills about fifteen years ago, but
it was only about five years ago that a
company was formed in London for 1t:
manufacture. The basis of zylonite is

over frequently, and occasionally sprink-
led with soft water if there be not dew
or rain sufficient to moisten it. The

and spoil the salt. The long, dry
