A MANUFACTURERS VIEW OF I
A Sensible Letter.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER-DE SIR:
Why not make Lexington a manufac-
turing city? Commerce alone will not
sustain and build up city, as was the
case many years ago. know some will
say it can't be done, but it can be done,
and in Lexington. You have many
facilities for manufacturing, such as
coal, wood and water.
1 have business relations with man
ufacturers and manufacturing towns all
over the country, and l know some
thing of the benefits that one or more
good line manufacturing establish
ments brings to place.
Take the manufacturing interests from
the fourishing towns in Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, and they will dwindle
down one fourth to one half in a few
years and their business will shrink in
proportion.
Now let us see? Suppose you raise
stock company with fifty to seventy
five thousand dollars capital for the
purpose of manufacturing all kinds OF
agricultural implements. Now all that
money remains at home except what is
needed to purchase the necessary ma
chinery and neither the stockholders or
the town is any poorer.
Suppose they manufacture and sell
one hundred thousand dollars worth
the first year; that will bring to the
town just that much money, and al
though the stock holders have not made
much (Which will likely be the case in
starting new enterprise), yet not
withstanding that, the community
has one hundred thousand dollars il
did not have the year before, gath
cred up from all parts of the country
and lett there for labor and materials
The stockholders have drawn no divi
dends, yet they have found in the gen
eral prosperity, their houses and lot
are worth more, and with proper man
agement dividends ought to be mad,
the second year.
No man, town or community can ge
rich by simply swapping dollars; tin
money to enrich must come frOn
abroad.
Any town that has good manufactur
ing establishments is drawing larg

munity is growing wealthy, just i
proportion to the amount brought ther
for labor, material and profit. and ever
community that Is not drawing none
from abroad is getting poorer.
You can never make Lexington
great commercial city, but you hav
the facilities and money to make it
manufacturing point, and when that
an accomplished fact it will bring bot
money and trade.
In manufacturing, you, to a certai
', hands and can secure trade, ,and by ia
dealing keep it. All that is needed
common sense and money, and tt
citizens OF Lexington have both. Hop
ing they will begin the good wor
soon and make the town flourish as
ought. l am, yours truly,
. j. A. j. SHULTZ.

An old citizen of St. Louis who was inter-
viewed by Republican reporter regarding
Gen. Grants life there, was among other
things asked:-"What do you think of Grant
as compared to Gen. Lee as military man z"
He replied :-"Well, comparisons are odious,
you know. When we remember the battles
of the Wilderness, and the wonderful skill
with which the greatly superior forces Of the
federals were driven back. We must agree
with Wellesley In CHASING Lee as one Of the
three or four great soldiers of the world.
The rebellion failed because it was the weak
or party, deficient in resources, and not on
account of the skill of the generals or the
bravery of the men. But that is all past now,
and the feelings of enmty that once existed
between the north and the south have passed
away. The graves of those who wore the
gray are decorated as well as those who wore
tho blue. As Father Ryan wrote. Under
the sod and the dew. waiting the judgment
day; under the laurel the blue, under the
willow the gray"

UNREASONABLE FAULT FINDING.
From the New York Herald. |

We notice here and there an out
burst of fault finding with what is
called the "slowness" of the admins
tration. Those who make these COM
plants are in many and perhaps in
most cases people who did not help to
elect Mr.. Cleveland, but who now very
confidently presume to tell him what
he ought to do.
In our judgment the new admins
tration is doing very well, and it de-
slowly. Our Washington correspOn-
dent gives some account elsewhere of
the difficulties with which the presi-
dent and cabinet have to contend. He
finds prominent democrats very well
contented with the course pursued,
and he remarks upon the facts that
there is very much less pressure for
Office now than appeared when Gener-
al Garfield entered on the presidency.
The republican assertion, therefore,
that the democratic party would prove
itself only can organized appetite" is
as false as many other campaign stO-
ries which by systematic iteration
came to be believed, at least by those
who invented them.
| To these few democrats who are ex-
pressing dissatisfaction with President
Cleveland we will here quote pas
sage from letter received the other
day from lifelong democrat in the
west. He writes:-
There will be disappointment for
many of the Office seeking class, but my
experience is that these form but very
small proportion of the party. What l
notice among the democratic people
whom l know is q determination that
Mr.. Cleveland and those he has called
to help him shall have fair play and a
generous support. We expect him to
give us a sound and honest democrat
ic policy for the country, and we don't
encourage fault finding, because it was
a good deal of trouble to get our party
into power, and we want it to stay
there for the good of the country.
Sore heads are at q heavy discount
among the voters Of our party here
abOuts.
That is the general sentiment, we
believe, of the democratic rank and
file. They are not complaining.

"He is angry. He feels deeply Of

parently undertaken to deal with what
he considers to be his rightful posses
sions as they do with those of the Sui
tan Of Turkey. Shall the Gar of
Russia be put on the same footing with

nay. impudent idea? His Majesty will
not stand it. He will array an army
that can crush the English, even if it
is necessary to pawn the crown jewels
to do it. Unless the British comply
with his wishes he will make them

The Gar is angry, and he will pun

Russia is a "large" country, but no
one has ever yet dubbed it as "great."
The Czar! And who is he? An auto

Gar? 1t is well enough known that
he is Alexander ILL, son of Alexander
Nicolaevitch, and nephew of William,

ENGLAND COUNTING THE COST
from the ALBANY Argus,

The damage to England's commerce
by cruisers is question which admits
Of little doubt, for although the British
government has secured the fastest ves-
sells on the ocean, they cannot be ubi-
quitous, and British commerce is too
widely extended to be protected at all
points. The main fighting will be done
amid the wilds OF Afghanistan, where
Russia will have preponderance of
strength, and where the Indian troops,
principally recruited from the plains of
Hindostan, a weak, timid race, will
meet the hardy Cossacks, who are born
fighters and capable of enduring the
hardships of any campaign. A serious
reverse to the British arms might raise
storm in India which would be more
formidable than that now lowering on
the northwestern frontier of Afghanis-
tan. 1t is not surprising, therefore,
that the British government hesitatei

active at SO deg. or blood heat, above
which the temperature should not be
much raised. A temperature of l4O
deg. will kill the rennet.
2lst-Add rennet enough to make a
firm curd in thirty minutes.
22d-Cut the curd as soon as it can
be done without waste, and cut fine
and finish at once.
23d-Keep the temperature rs evenly
at SO deg. as possible until the curd Is
fit to dip and salt. Cheddar or COOK
in the whey as preferred.
24th-Practice alone can teach when
to dip, something depending on wheth-
er soft or firm cheese is desired.
25-The cheesing process depends
good deal OH the relative percentage OF
water to caseine. If there is too little
water the cheese will cure slowly and
be dry, crumbly and have little flavor.
If there is too much water destructive
fermentation will set in, and the cheese
rapidly decay, if it does not sour and
break.
26th-An even temperature is indis-
pensable for curing-as low as 65 to 40
deg. for whole milk cheese, and as
high as Is to 80 deg. for skimmed-ac-
cording to the degree of richness.
CLEANLINESS.
27th-It is not possible to be too par
ticular about cleanliness. But cleanli-
ness, Gov. Seymour says, is compar-
alive term, and what is clean to one
may be dirty to another.
| 2Sth-Carefully brush the cows I'D
der, if it is befoulcd wash it, before
milking.
29-Keep all hairs and loose dirt out
of the milk, that no filth may be dis
solved in it. No stralner can take Out
what is dissolved.
3Oth-Use fine solf- cloth strainel
beside wire strainer.
3lst-Keep your milk away from al
foul or disagreeble odOrs, as the fat
rapidly absorb all odors and impair
them to the products.
32d-Wash in tepid water dish, i'm
plement or utensil that comes in con
tact with milk or its products, thel
scald in boiling water or steam; afte
which rinse in cold water and expos
them to the pure air (and sunshine
pOssible) until needed for use.
By carefully studying the foregoing
rules dairymen will soon overcom,
many of the difficulties which bese
them. We have often been asked man
questions regarding milk, cream. but
ter and cheese, which contain answer
! in the above. To those who are abou
, to engage in dairying they will b
found to be of great use; and we sue
gest that the readers Of the Intelligence
put these rules where they can readil
find them when they are wanted.

THE RULERS.

The king of the Belgians, who has
just celebrated the completion of his
fifteenth year, may be said to enjoy one
almost unique distinction among the
reigning princes OF Christendom.
Born heir apparent to the crown, he
succeeded tather who died a natural
death ut good old age and in secure
possession of his sceptre. The king of
Italy was II years old before a kingdom
of Italy existed. The king Of the Greeks
is the founder ofa dynasty. The Car
ascended the throne of a murdered
predecessor. The Emperors of Aus
tria and Brazil derived their titles, in
the first instance, from "acts of abdica-
ton" in their favor consequent upon
revolutions. The kings of Prussia,
Sweden, and Portugal all started in
life as younger sons, the king OF Den
mark as a distant cousin. Queen Vic
toria at the date of her birth stood but
fifth in the succession to the crown.

BUTTER AND CHEESE MAKING.

In a paper on "Butter anu Cheese
Making" read before the Illinois State
Dairymen's Association, Mr.. J. H.
Broomell, of Aurora, successful fac
tory man, gave the following:
GENERAL RULES FOR DAIRYING.
1st-Decide on your line of dairyIng,
butter or cheese, or both.
2d-Select your cows according to
the line of dairying chosen.
3d-Test each cow separately, and
reject all not suited to your line of
dairy or that fail in quality or quantity
of milk.
4th--Feed literally: have pure water
always accessible and keep a mixture
of equal parts of salt, ashes and sui
phur within reach of the cows.
5th-Be sure your stables are well
ventilated; remove all droppings
promptly: freely use absorbents and
deodorizers, such as sawdust, dry
eral use of plaster.
particular, both in keeping the cows
and in milking and handling the milk.
7th-By all means avoid exposure OF
lilC iulIh W tllC llOI ouIl anu " lOul alt.
| Sth-Air and cool your milk as fast
as possible down to at least 79 deg. if
you carry it any distance to factory
or creamery. Do the same if You make
it into cheese at home, though you need
not go below so deg. if made up imme-
diately.
9th-When milk is kept over night to
be carried to factory the temperature
should be reduced below 60 deg.

| 10th-If milk is set at home for cream
the sooner it can be set after milking.
and the higher the temperature, the
better, as cream rises best and almost
wholly while the temperature is fall
ing.
llth-Never reduce the temperature
below 40 deg, as IL lower temperature
has a tendency to chill the product and
injure its keeping quality; and 1t also
expands the water, rendering its rela-
lively greater density less instead of in
creasing it. To go deg. below 40
deg. would have practically the same
effect as raising the temperature 5 deg.
and to that extent retardS the raising OF
the cream.
l2th-Skim as soon as the cream is
all up, or so much of it as you wish to
take from the milk.
l3th-keep your cream, if not churn-
ed immediately, at temperature of Ga
deg, or below, but not below 40 deg
l4th-Churn at such temperature be-
tween 80 deg. and 81 deg. as expert
cnce shows you is best. Conditions
vary the temperature for churning.
ljth-Stop churning when the but
ter is in granules about the size OF
wheat kernels.
16th-Draw off the buttermilk and
wash in clean water before gathering
the butter. until the water runs clear
If one washing is in brine it is all the
better, as brine coagulates the cheesy
matter, which dissolves and is then
washed out.
l7th-Salt to suit customers, using
none but refined salt made for dairy
purposes. The best American salt is
as good as any.
1Sth-Put up in such packages as are
demanded by your market.
CHEESE-MAKING.
19th-Milk for cheese-making, whether
whole, skinned or partly skinned
: should be perfectly sweet.
!, 20th-Set your milk at temperature
! of S4 deg. OF above. Rennet is mos,

A Lost Chord.

But L -truck one chord OF music.

And II lay ON my fe"ered itr,t

And tr"mbieti away into siience

That one lost chord divine,
Winch came from the song of the organ
And entered into mind
But, bead by bead tell
The rosary of my years;
From cross to u cross they lie I'd; 'tIs well,
And they are blest with Il blessing OF tear
Better a day Of strife
Than a century of sleep.
Give me Instead OF a long stream Of life
T':c tempest and tears Of the deep.

On the b;llOws of all the years,
But NE. er the foam bring the love back hom

1t may be that only In heaven
shall hear that grand amen.
