Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD |
PHILADELPHIA, September 13.-The
forthcoming issue OF the Journal Of
United Labor will contain an editorial by
Powderly. He says he has received
numerous suggestions that he come out
for this, that and the other political
party. He declines to do so, saying that
he has no authority over the political
position OF the Knights, and suggests
that if he should take up the cause OF
either the United Labor party or the
Union Labor it would tend to injure the
chances of some of the Legislative can
didates of the Knights in some of the
States. He says nobody has authority
to state what his position is on the sub
iect of protection, and that he will either
before or after the election prepare them
for publication. He suggests that the
workingmen watch the legislators as
carefully as they watch the candidates.
He also, without naming him, takes
occasion to score Secretary Lichtman for
quitting the Knights to take part in
politics. He repels the charge that the
order is affected by "dry rot" and
asserts that it is doing its great and only
work Of educating and uplifting the
masses.

The knights and the Church.

New York, September ia Rome
cablegram to the Catholic Ne,cs an
nounces that decree of the Holy Office
on the Knights of Labor question, favor
able to that organization has been for
warded to Cardinal Gibbons.
1t will be remembered that in April,
1887, His Holiness, concurring in the
ideas set forth in the letter of Cardinal
Gibbons in favor of the Knights, decided
that there was no cause for action. The
Pope also decided that in Canada, where
a mandate had been issued against the
Knights, members OF the order could re-
ceive absolution on the promise of obedi-
ence to the future decisions of the Holy
See. The latter having been placed be-
fore the Holy Office, this decree is the
result. 1t settles for good the question
as far as Rome is concerned, provided of
course that the constitution and aims Of
the order remain the same.

rHE DAIRY.


THE first half hour after the. milk
leaves the cow is what decides its ex-
oellence.
II milk is made 1t must get its
value from the food, or robbery from
the body OF the COW herself, and that
in the end is always dearly obtained
milk.-Country Gentleman.
1t is generally the best cows that
are most liable TO garget; and OF course
these are the COWS TO which one can
best afford TO give care and attention
at the time OF coming in. Ohio Farmer.
The cost of feeding two-gallon
COW, including her care, feed and labor,
is not greatly different from acow CIV
ing twice as much, and If the product
OF the former is sold at about fifty per
cent. below top prices, the profits of
dairying are indeed small Country
Gentleman
Mr.. Hoard says that those who
know that pure lard keeps sweet with
out salt, ought TO think little before
they conclude that it is the salt that
keeps butter. Make butter as near to
pure fat as possible, and all the salt it
needs is enough to suit the palate Of the
consumer. Rural NeD Yorker.
While it is easy to get salt to dis
solve in water that marks fifty degrees,
on the other hand it is not so easy to
get the surplus water out OF butter ut
thattemperature. The finishing touches
should be given to butter at not less
than sixty degrees, and then there is no
trouble in getting out the unneeded
moisture. N L. Times.
1t is better for milk that has to be
transported TO be cooled down only n
few degrees and this done by some
form OF ,eration, such as pouring or a
similar process. As rule. lowering
the temperature OF milk ten degrees by
airing, will be far better than the use
of ice and low temperature, unless
the ice can go on the journey with the
milk. Philadelphia Press,
Water is rarely pure enough for tho
manufacture OF the very best butter
and no pond water. running stream or
swamp ditch is free from myriads Of
those germs which feed upon decaying
organic matter in it. To examine u
drop OF water from any one of these
sources through cheap and simple
microscope, would be revelation to a
dairyman OF surprising interest and
value. Prairie Farmer.
Butter and cheese are articles that
are for the consumer. We can not
make man eat a pound ofindifferently
made cheese to please us. 1t must
please him. Then he buys, is delighted,
and buys again. The article that dis
gusts him he refuses to buy again, and
we must hunt up another customer,
and that costs. Tho way is to make
the best, and to do this the consumer
must be consulted, and we give up
making butter and cheese by what
methods suit us best, and find out the
wishes OF the other party and make for
