Cherokee strip and have funds subscribed

with nothing to hide. know

MOrmOns Mauled.

EcKv1LLE, Pa, Nov. San exciting
time was had down at Lambeth's lme-kilns
near here Tuesday. A number of farmers
knew that there were two men, strangers
in the place, operating among young
women of the neighbOrhOOd. frequenting the
gatherings Of Sunday schools, and ingra-
tiating themselves among the young single
women, and the farmers determined to drive
them out of the neiehborhood. TIE elder
of the two. Brother Ettig, as he was called,
was seen emerging from Gray's meadow
with young Lena Eckleberger, whom he
was inducing to join Mormon colony.
Ettig was seized and dragged to the
lime sheds and rolled in a bin of white
lime dust and started on run through the
woods. Basing, the other suspected party,
was also seized and ducked in creek and
cowhided and started through the woods in
the direction Ettig had taken. 1t appears
that there was concerted plan, according
to which number of deluded young
women should all be ready to start West
on given day to join Mormon settle
ment. At least dozen young women
have had their heads turned by all sorts Of
promises made by these fellows, and for a
time it was difficult to secure hired female
help in that region.

INFAMOUS.
Attempt to.Nreck n Passenger Train on
the Illinois Central.

Attempt to.Wreck u Passenger Train on
the Illinois Central.
JACKSON, Tenn, Nov. 3.-MODday
morning about 1880 an infamous attempt
was made to wreck the nOrth-bOund pas
senger train on the Illinois Central railroad.
About half mile from this city negro
man, who is i'm the employ of the Illinois
Central railroad, was fishing. He heard a
knocking on the high railroad bridge
which spans the FOrked Deer river. He
slipped up near enough to discover three
white men taking out the bolts and tear
ing up the crOss-tieS. The wOuld-be
murderers discovered the negro and
ran off i'm the bottom. The negro re-
ported it Immediately to the officials of the
road and the rails were replaced just in
time to prevent most horrible wreck. In
ten minutes after the rails were repaired
the nOrth-bOund passenger, which was be-
hind time, came along at the rapid speed Of
fOrty-five miles an hour. The object OF the
fends was to throw the train into the
FOrked Deer river, which would have been
done had not the negro discovered the he'll
ish scheme and reported it. The sheriff
and a posse of men have been securing the
woods till this evening looking for the viii
lains, but up to this writing they have not
been caught. If they should be caught
they will pull some hemp.

ADDITIONAL CHURNS.
Why 1t Might Prove Profitable to Prefer
Them tn Cream Watts.


Them tn Cream Watts.
As practical butter maker, in doing
\ business that required the work of
,hurning to be done every day, and
hence requiring such treatment of the
cream through heating. stirring and
airing of the cream as would get it
ready for churning in twenty-fOur-
hours after being taken from the milk,
We have often raised the question
whether an investment in additional
churns would not be more economical,
and less waste of cream and labor. than
an investment in cream watts? We sup
pose the first objection to this will be
that letting cream stand in the churn
twenty-four hours to ripen and slightly
acidify. would soon make the wood of
the churn sour, and impart bad taste
to the butter made in it. But that
objection could be easily obyiated by
parafining the inside. The ease of
stirring. and the thoroughness with
which the cream could be stirred and
@rated in churn, would 90 long
way in endorsement of the plan. and
the right temperature could be obtained
as certainly as in a vat. and at less ex-
pcnse for that part of the apparatus.
1t would save all the washing and care
of the cream watts, and though it would
necessitate two ehurns, it would require
no more churn-washing in a year than
now. The cost of an extra churn
would not differ materially from the
cost of a cream vat to hold each churn-
ing. Floor room required would be
about the same. and the saving in cream
and handling of it. quite an item. We
never used a churn in that way. week
in and week out, so don't know how
long it would take to sour the wood,
but we have held it twenty-four hours
with no other eration than that OBJ
tanned from the vent, open, except
when the churn was revOlved, and
made as good butter as we can make
the other way. Who certainly knows
that all the air needed to ripen, create
and oxygenize the cream can not be-
obtained. in ample measure, through
the vent-hole of churn? We certainly
do not. And we more than half know
It can be.-Hoards Dairymdn.

VALUE OF SKIM-MILK.
Every Quart Bought or Fed on the Farm
adding to Its Fertility.

Every Quart Bought or Fed on the Farm
adding to Its Fertility.
The richest milk is not always that
which contains the greatest PROPORTION
of cream. Cream is largely composed
of carbonaceOus matter, which is de-
rived on the farm at but little cost,
while the skim-milk contains the nitro
gen, phosphates and mineral matter.
A farmer may ship cream from his
farm daily without impoverishing his
land, vet, if he should retain his cream
and sell his skim-milk he would grad
ually and surely deprive his soil of its
elements of fertility. As food, skim
milk is nearly complete and will sup
port life, but though cream may create
warmth and supply nourishment for a
short while, yet with its use alone
the body would waste away, and the
result be death.
Taking a commercial view of the
matter. and estimating the value of the
elements that compose cream and
skim-milk, the former possesses but
little real value in nutrition. while the
latter performs valuable service in
many ways. We are not denying the
fact that cream is worth more than
skim-milk in the market, but it really
is a cheaply-produced article. The
COW that gives large quantity of
milk. which may be poor in quality so
far as cream is concerned, may never
theless be much more serviceable than
one that gives what is termed rich
milk. as the cream is easily obtained
compared with the solids of the SKIM
milk. True, cow may give large
amount of cream, and at the same time
yield milk rich in caseine. but this is
not always the case. Though the
farmer can secure high price for his
cream, our object is to urge the i'm
portance of utilizing the skim-milk,
and Of patronizing the creameries
where it is Sold Every quart of skim
milk brought or fed on the farm adds
that much to the fertility of the soil,
allowing, of course, for that removed
by the animals sold. 1t possesses q
value far greater than many suppose,
for the reason that it contains all the
elements of fertility.-Amsrican Agri-
Miturist.
