THE WATER SUPPLY.

A few years since well-to-do farmer
in a neighboring county complained to
us about the price his butter was bring
ing IN Chicago. He made it as careful
y as any of his neighbors, and consigned
it to the best commission houses he
could find, still he never got within FIVE
or six cents pound as much as the best
butter makers around him. This loss
nettled him, and at his request we went
to his farm and inspected his premises
and methods. We found he had a good
dairy room, and with few exceptions
his methods of feeding his COWS, hand
ling the milk and making the butter
were first-class. Still we could see that
his butter was not as good as it ought to
be. From the quickness with which it
lost flavor, we suggested that his water
supply was bad, and on investigation we
found that his cows drank from stag
nant bog-hole. We persuaded him 60
fence the pool about, and dig we'll and
put in wind mill over the same. As
soon as this was done, the butter came
up to standard, and brought the top
prices. The farmer had lost hundreds
of dollars in the time he had been dairy
ing by the use of bad water Hoard's

THE IMPORTANCE OF TEMPERA.
TTJRE.

Ordinary butter makers are constant
ly running On to rocks in the current of
their practice. A flood of letters have
poured in upon us every year for long
time asking for solution of this diff
Guilty or that. Ina majority of instances,
however, we have gathered enough from
the several descriptions to convince us
that the main cause of i'll luck in butter
making is disregard of the right tenn
perature at one or more stages in the
process.
It is very hard to convince most peo-
pie of the Importance of temperature
and the value of using the thermometer
in place of guess work. An illustration
of the pranks temperature plays with
butter making may be seen in the re-
cent investigations of DR.. Babcock, of
the New YORK Experimental Station.
He found that the fat in milk is a min
ute liquid globule in perfect state of
emulsion suspended in the milky me-
dunn and without any membraneous
covering of any kind. If they are churn-
ed at certain temperature they slowly
collect together and form larger globules ;
these in turn forming still larger ones
until a perfect separation takes place.
If the. temperature is carried too high
the effect of the ,churning is to sub-di-
vide the globules, so that every stroke of
the churn is taking us farther and farther
from the gathering point. If the tenn
perature is low the globules will not ad-
here to each other and the work of the
churn is again defeated. By simple
change of temperature he could produce
these varying results, both disastrous to
churning. He made emulsions of other
fats and produced the same effects. He
also found that the globules in each kind
of fat could only be collected or churned
at its own right temperature.
The ratio of yield of butter to cream
depends largely ON temperature. Not
long since butter maker in churning
cream separated by centrifugal force
found that he was getting only three lbs
and three-tenths of butter from 100 lbs
of milk. He was convinced that the
milk was not at fault, and so concluded
that the fault lay in some of his process.
es. He finally concluded to put piece
of ice in the churn and found that the
yield went up to fraction over foul
pounds, or gain ofnearly three-quarters
of pound to every hundred pounds
of milk. These facts are cited to show
the great importance of an understand
ing of temperature and its effects on
milk and butter. Every butter maker
should for the first thing make careful
study of the action of temperature OF
milk and cream We separate by tenn
perature, and we churn by temperature
The great quantity of slush that il

butter makers shows by its looks tina
the makers are ignorant of the effects o
temperature.-Hoard Dai-ynsan.

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDERS.
scientific American.)

Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry, none is more i'm
portant than the uses to which common
ammonia can be properly put as a
leavening agent, and which indicate that
this familiar salt is hereafter to perform
an active part in the preparation of our
daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upon a knife and hold
over a fame, and it will almost immedi-
ately be developed into gas and pass off
into the air. The gas thus formed is a
simple composition of nitrogen and hy-
drogen. No residue is left from the am
monia. This gives it its superiority as
leayening power over soda and cream of
tartar used alone, and has induced its
use as supplement to these articles.
A small quantity of ammonia in the
dough is effective in producing bread
that will be lighter, sweeter and more
wholesome than that risen by any other
Ieavening agent. When it is acted upon
by the heat of baking the leavening gas
that rises the dough is liberated. In.
this act it uses itself up, as it were the
ammonia is entirely difused, leaving
no trace or residuum whatever. The
light, fluffy, faky appearance SO desir-
able in biscuits, etc, and so sought after
by professional cooks, is said to be inl-
parted to them only by the use of this
agent. -
The bakers and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goods
have been,quick to avail themselves of
this useful discovery, and the handsom-
est and best bread and cake are now
Largely risen by the aid of ammonia,
combined of course with other leavening
material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. If, as seems
to be Justly claimed for it, the applicac
ton of its properties to the purposes of
results in giving us lighter and
more wholesome bread, biscuit and
cake, it will prove boon to dyspeptic
humanity, and will speedily force itself
into general use in the new field to which
science has assigned it.

HELPFUL LADIES.

AT the request of the Kenosha Young
Mems Christian Association, the ladies
of our city met on Tuesday afternoon at
the residence of Mrs. Emory L. Grant,
for the purpose of organizing a Ladies'
Auxiliary to the Association.
By invitation, two ladies-members of
the Auxiliary of the Racine Association
Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Hart-were pres
ent to advise and counsel in organizing
the work.
Mrs. E. L. Grant was elected Temporal
ry President, and Mrs. F. S. Newell,
Secretary. The Racine ladies gave an
account of the work as carried on by
them, and presented copy of their
constitution.
This constitution was adopted, and
under it the following permanent Off
GERS were elected Mrs. Emory L. Grant,
President ; Mrs. George Yule, LIST Vice
President ; Mrs. F. S. Newell, I'd Vice
President Miss Mary Blish, Secretary !;
Mrs. S. Reynolds, Treasurer.
Twenty-Five ladies gave in their names
as members. D. F. More, Assistant
State Secretary of Y. M. G. Associations,
being present, explained to the ladies the
location and condition of the rooms
secured for the Young Mems Associa-
ton, and the very acceptable aid the
Auxiliary could render in helping to
furnish the rooms and make them pleas
ant and home-like, and it is probable
that that will be the first aid the Auxil-
larry will render the Association. A vote
of thanks was rendered the Racine ladies
for their timely aid. The attendance,
the interest and the personnel of this
meeting gave promise of good work be-
ing done for the young men of Kenosha.

+ COMPELLED TO DRAW A DIS
TINCTION.

We dislike to be obliged to doubt the
sincerity of any one, and as truth and
yeracity possess charm for the fair
minded, we are even 10th to believe any
story tending to impeach the credibility
of our friends, and when we heard that
William Stetson, Esq, of the town of
Somers, and county of Kenosha, had
raised a watermelon thirteen feet and
five inches in diameter, we were little
surprised, and when we were informed
that the vine which helped to raise the
said melon grew so rapidly as to become
dangerous {; that it chased his pet poodle
over the garden fence, and then wound
its soft spongy tendrils around small
boy on his way to school and absorbed
him-absolutely swallowed him down..
we commenced to doubt but when we
were informed that two weeks after this
occurrence, while Mr.. Stetson was blast
ing open two ton watermelon, he found
the school boys slate imbedded in the
core, with his own name on it as the
next candidate for sheriff of Kenosha
county, We krse,O 1t puas a lie q Owing
to the non-appearance of the Annual
Kenosha County Fair and the late de-
preston in the watermelon trade, we
feel compelled to draw a distinction be-
tween fact and fiction, and the macada-
nlized prevaricator that has been prowl-
ing around our Office can be recognized
on the street because of one black eye
and a broken nose. REX.

POIsONs IN, FOOD AND DRINK.

!; Few persons outside the medical pro-
fession have any idea of the dangers
which threaten us in our daily food and
drink, writes DIR. Cyrus Edison in the
Forum. Disgusting as it may be to con-
template, it is nevertheless pretty we'll
proved fact that in contracting many in
fictitious diseases one receives into his
mouth and stomach germs from the
systems Of persons suffering from those
diseases. That such germs are most
frequently introduced through the me-
dunn of polluted water, none who has
studied the matter will hesitate to assert.
When the thrifty farmer builds his
house he digs two holes as conveniently
near as possible. The shallower ono he
makes his cessrool, while from the
deeper he draws his drinking water.
Thus he and his family make connect
ing link in a sort of endless circulating
process-family, cesspool, well, family,
etc.
The idea that water puri6es itself by
freezing is very prevalent and deep-root-
ed, but it is erroneous. 1t has led to the
use Office from ponds, whose water no
Fone would think of drinking.
Second only in importance to pure water
is pure milk. The man who waters the
milk he sells seldom realizes the gravity
of his crime. He forgets that milk is
often the exclusive food of invalids and
children, and that just in proportion as
| its strength is reduced so are these rob-
bed of their proper nourishment. Occa-
sionally borax, boracic acid and salicylic
acid are added to milk to keep it from
souring in warm weather. These are to
be condemned, because they irrltate the
kidneys and tend to cause Brights dis
ease. Milk FROM animals afflicted with
consumption has the property of repro
dueing that disease. Decomposing hotel
or distillery swill, or even "brewers'
lgrains," if fed exclusively, will cause an
Excessive flow of weak, unhealthy milk.
The casein of this milk, when acted
on by the gastric juice, coagulates into

I think it will take more than the av-
erage woman to know just when butter
is worked" enough with ladle, says
correspondent of the Farm and Home.
The old way of working makes the but
ter more or less salvy, and breaks up
the grain, while the washing process
saves this. Butter should not have q
shiny, greasy appearance, but show its
grain as much as possible. There is one
thing most makers fail in, and that is,
stirring the cream enough while it is in
the pot. 1t should be stirred at least
three times day, not rapidly, but for
at least five minutes. This mixes it and
gives it all the chance to be exposed to
the fresh air. Here is an item, fresh AIR.
So good an authority as T. D. Curtis,
says, "Salt does very little to preserve
butter. 1t retards decomposition for a
time, but in the end may become sodium
and chlorine gas, or enter into new
combinations with the constituents OF
the butter, and thus make new COM
pounds that do not in the least improve
the flavor" The moral of these hints is
put not your trust in salt to preserve
the butter, but have it free from taint'
and all impure substances.
