BUTTER AS A FARM PRODUCT.

The increased attention which is
now being paid to the manufacture
of butter in this country has re-
suited in a marked improvement in
quality of the article. The time
was when, as a general thing, farm
ers paid very little attention to
their spring-houses or milk.rooms.
They skinned their milk from day
to day until sufficient quantity of
cream was had for n churning-
which was generally once or twice
a weekly which time the oldest
cream had become so sour as to
seriously impair the flavor Of the
product. Not only was this the
cause Of its inferiority, but it has
since been found that even the
food of the COW has IA good deal to
do with the quality of the butter.
If the food is the least tainted or
unsavory, it will show itself in such
degree in the product that no
amount ofskill in its manipulation
or manufacture can overcome the
difficulty.
The condition Of the COW, two, as
it regards health, has much to do
with the quality Of the product,
and should be as carefully studied
as the intelligent mother studies
her own condition when nursing
her infant, any unsuitable food
partaken of by the COW showing
itself in the milk, and consequently
butter of the COW, Just as plainly
as the food of the mother affects
the digestive organs of her nurs-
ling. Not only are the health of
the cow and the character Of her
food important factors in the make
up OF the product, but the milk
house, churn, and all the utensils
used in its manufacture must be as
clean and free from any impurity
as possible. 1t is avery easy mat
ter for an experienced chemist to
produce highly concentrated and |
pure article from crude ma
terial, but then to enable him to
dose his chemical apparatusmust be |
in perfect order and his crude ma
terial of the best. Just so with |
the manufacture Of a FIRST class |
article of butter-everything con-
nected with the process of its
manufacture must be in perfect |
order, as well as free from all i'm
purity, or failure will result as a
matter of course.

Eggs .OPENERs.-A Bos'
ton man has hit upon an ingenious
device to enable the inhabitants OF
Maine and Rhode Island to evade
the prohibition laws. He manu-
features glass egg, as near as
possible in appearance like a regu-
lar hen egg, fills it with whisky,
sherry, or any other liquor desired,
stops up the opening with wooden
plug, and covers the cork with
white chalk. In this condition the
spirituous or fermented eggs are
sent in large quantities into the
prohibition section. When a nan
wants a "nip' there he simply
knocks in the plug and drinks the
contents of the shell.

The R9mar Side Of Washington

Yesterday DR.. Edward Everett
Hale, of Boston. lectured in the
Amphitbeater, Cbautauqua, on the
"Human Side of Washington" The
Lecturer said he would try to ena'
BILE the audience to appreciate the
fact that Washington was real
man aud not a demi god. Wash
ipcion was siugularly human. The
real Washington bought lottery
tickets, aud had a habit OF falling
in love, and was greatly troubled
because the young women would
not fall in love With him. lie was
a bad speller he traded horses al
WAYS to his own advantage, and be
was the richest American Of his
day. Lord Fairfax brought up
Washington to become a thorn IN
the flesh of George Ill. The lee
turer had no doubt that the hatchet
story was true. Washington was a
man OF principle and honor, and IN
the time Of the Stamp act was rec
ogDized as the Virginia patrOit'
Washington was as laxative
among friends as Grant, but as ST.
lent as lie was in the presence OF re-
porters. lie asked a blessing at
the table lie had his mug Of beer
and his glass of wine, and was
healthy, cheerful, active man, who
enioyed life as if it was worth living.
He had great passions, but held
hem in magnificent control. lie
mad some faint idea of the America
IF today.

Horses and their Drivers.

Very many years ago ] made mp
my mind that when there was a
quarrel between a man and a horse,
in nine cases out Of ten the man
was in the wrong. Continued OBJ
servation has only served to con-
firm this belief.
The radical error into which
drivers fall is the belief that the
horse knows perfectly what is
wanted of him and will not do it.
Then the driver proceeds to show
that he is the master, and in the
vast majority of cases the horse is
punished without the slightest idea
why be is so treated.
For a horse to understand in
stantly what his driver desires,
there must exist a pleasant feeling
between them. The horse must
feel confidence 10 his driver
With one driver a horse will show
fearless of locomotives, and
with another he will dread them.
One man will drive a horse fifteen
miles with no more fatigue to the
animal than another will produce
in driving him ten.
Nothing tends more to cruelty to
animals than cowardlce. The man
who has a lurking fear of his beat
is the one who treats him the most
harshly. The man who is afraid
of no horse is just the man who |
treats all kindly. He is perfectly |
aware that there is always danger
with horses; but he also knows |
that this does not depend upon the |
horse, but mostly comes from some |
extraneOus source, the bad driving |
Of others whom he meets on the
road, or accident of some sort. lie

Did not Walt Tor the Gun,
A CHEROKEE FATHER AND son
INSTANTLY KILLED BY a
WRATHFUL NEIGHBOR


WRATHFUL NEIGHBOR
CHICAGO, August 1S.-A special
dispath from Fort Smith, Ark,
saws Information has reached
here of a bloody tragedy in the
Cherokee nation, Sunday evening,
at a point twelve miles above Web
ber's Falls. 1t seems Lock Lang
ley and Thomas Monroe had some
trouble a day or two previous about
some stock breaking into field
Sunday evening Monroe and his
family started to church, and when
a short distance from home were
overtaken by Langley, who was
armed with double barreled shot
gun. Ga coming up to the party
he began cursing and abusing them,
whereupon Monroe told him that If
he had his gun with him he could
not treat him in that Manner
Langley replied "Go and get your
guu." Monroe then told his Oldest
son, Allen, to 60 and get 1t. The
hoy started, but bad only got a
short distance when Langley shot
him in the back with load of buck
shot and then turned and shot a
similar load into the body OF old
man Monroe. Both father and son
died Immediately. The tragedy was
witnessed only by the wife and
small children Of the murdered man.
All of them were members OF the
Cherokee nation, and this comes
under the Jurisdiction of the Chero'
kee courts, hence the punishment
Langley deserves may never be
mated uut 70 him.
