"A Maine fishing schooner recently
caught on the Georges Banks. on a
hallbut trawl, a queer fish. 1t weighed
seventy-tiye pounds, and is described
as being ''about as large as the top of

marked with silver spots, varying in

which retained their vivid hue. The
fins, three in number, were small in
proportion to the body, and the tail
was short and broad.

The idea that any ne hod Of feed
ing turnips to COWS, either Just before
or just after milking, viii save the
next mess from being Favored, is a
popular mistake Heating tie milk
viii cause the flavor Of the turnip TO
evaporate so that it will not affect the
butter made from it. But there ar3
objections to this. The butter from
milk thus treated will be soft, and the
milk, ii used as food, will have q con.
snpating effect which it did not be-
fore possess.

To get the cream quickly from milk,
as soon as it Is drawn from the COW
reduce its temperature to about A
deg, and keep it there, and in four or
five hours all the cream will rise. The
cream will be perfectly sweet, and the
skim milk will be OF very superior
quality. If the cream is to be made
into butter, it should be kept at a
temperature of about 65 deg, and
churned at a temperature of from 81
to go degrees.
Idaho semi-weekly world. [volume] (Idaho City, Idaho Territory) 1875-1908, 1888-10-23

There is always an uncertainty lie,
gar'ing the temperature for churn-
ing. While from b2 to IS deg. is
usually accepted as the proper tenn
perature, the milk from some cows
produces cream that requires as high
as 81 deg to form butter Ga e. CHI

milk only can determine how best to
churn for tirst-class butter.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
The Greatest Representative Convention
Ever Held in the State.

The list of delegates to the State con.
yeation. published elsewhere, is nearly
full. Three or four counties could not
be obtained and as many more held their
conventions yesterday whose delegates
may possibly be found in the dispatches
this morning.
The Commonwealth of yesterday says
that it will be the greatest representative
convention ever convened in Kansas.
Nearly one hundred of the delegates
have state wide reputation. All of the
older counties have sent their best known
public men, as viii be seen by the list.
including ex-governcr's ex-congressmen,
state senators, and SO on.
Several Of the candidates for gov
ernor and state officers are on the
grounds wit their managers, and
Monday and Tuesday the city
will fiji up with the delegates and friends
of the candidates.
Lieut.. Gov. Riddle is talked of for
temporary chairman and Gov. Geo. L.
Anthony for permanent chairman. But
no doubt there will be other candidates
for these positions-Col Dan Anthony
will never agree to putting his cousin
George in as permanent chairman.
Undoubtedly there viii be no lack of
life nor any shortage OF fun for two or
three days this week in Topeka. Kan
sas has been long noted for holding the
livest state conventions and the most ex
citing senatorial elections ever held by
any state and she promises to beat the
record this year

AN IMPORTANT MOVE.

Ex-Gov. Thos A. Osborn has agreed
TO be the Republican candidate for sena-
tor from Topeka. The next legislature
is going to be made up of strong men
and Sedgwick county should see to it
that she has delegation, which, repre-
senting the richest county in the state,
can hold their own, at least, with the
senators and representatives OF other
cities and counties. Some very import
ant matters, matters in which this coun-
ty is peculiarly interested, viii be deter
mined by the next two sessions of the
legislature, and if we don't have strong
delegation, a delegation Of such men as
can demand and hold their own against
a combination of political interests which
are inimical to Wichita, we viii simply
have cause to regret it maybe for all
time. The citizens and business men of
Topeka have shown shrewdness in tax
ing the matter out of the hands of both
parties by selecting Gov. Osborn for
their man in the senate.

AN OUTBURST OF HUMOR.

From the Klngman Courier.
The announcement some months ago
that Marsh NJ. Murdoch, of the Wichita
EAGLE. would stand as a candidate for
governor was originally an outburst of
humor. But truth is no humor in the
affair lust now. The fact is politicians
and pipe lawyers about the state capital
show signs of doubt in their ability TO
elbow Murdoch out of the way. As a
rule political manipulators are unfriendly
to the veteran editor. His sterling hon
esty, manly independence and fearless
exposition of the little meanness, cum
ning and duphcity of hired bosses is en-
dorsed by the voters of all parties. Muir
dock is man of the people.

ONLY MIsRE RESERVATION.

The efforts of T. j. Palmer, editor of
the Meade Republican, 10 enlighten the
editor Of the EAGLE as TO what the spirit
of Kansas is, what her history, institu-
ton and makeup generally, are at least
amusing if not instructive, especially
when it is remembered that the editor Of
the EAGLE has lived more years in Kan
sas than Palmer has months. We land
ed in Kansas mid the binding storms of
the winter Of '56, nearly thirty-two years
ago, but in time to help John Brown
across the Kaw river with his last invoice
OF Missouri slaves; been with her about
every hour since; in her conventions,
in her legislatures; through her drouths
and through grasshoppers, and if we
don't know as much of the people and
spirit of Kansas as Mr.. Palmer
our duIlness and dumbness would be
hopelessly beyond any improvement
which the editor of the Republican
might impart.
One thing more Mr. Palmer viii find
out when he has been here long enough,
and that is that the editor OF the EAGLE
is a law and order man--has been called
g stickier for those things-that he be-
lieves in stringent laws for great crimes,
that the murderer ought to hang and all
that; but, that when it comes to unusual
penalties for slight offenses known to
law as misdemeancrs, when it comes to
the proposition OF invading American
homes in the interest or for the purpose
of enforcing somebody's preconceived
notion of morality he is for open re-
bellion, and if Mr.. Palmer can't live
in a state where such man
exists he had better move out.

Yesterdays dispatches contained a
partial account of meeting of negroes
at Little Rock, Ark, for the alleged pur-
pose of inaugurating an independent
movement among the colored people of
that state in regard to their political
course in the future. There are many
political economists throughout the
country that have held the notion for a
hong time that it would be best for the
colored people of the south to break their
solid adherence TO the Republican party
and distribute themselves among the
different political parties. While it
would be unnatural for them to do so,
as matter of expzsdiency, considering
their own individual interests as citizens.
political and othsrwise, it would
perhaps be the best thing they
could de. If the colored men
who composed the Little Rock meet
ing are sincere in their declarations we
have no adverse criticisms TO offer, but
the proposition that was adopted by the
meeting sanctioning the independent,
alias Democratic, meeting called for
Indianapolis, and requesting a number
of leading coiored men of the state TO
attend. gives the affair a rather sus-
pioious coioring, TO say the least

See how promptly the French govern
ment demands an explanation and
reparation from the British government
for the damage and insult offered by the
Dominion of Canada in Selling the two
French fishing vessels off the coast of
New Foundland. In what marked con-
trast is this prompt action with the shil-
ly-shally course of the administration in
similar cases. France cannot afford to
have ruction with England just at this
time, it may be said; but she can less
afford not to protect the interests of her
citizens and her national honor. To
pass such occurrences by without de-
handing and obtaining adequate redress
would lie to so encourage their repeti-
ton and embolden the arrogant perpe-
traitors that in short time the party SO
offended would have no rights, upon the
high seas or elsewhere that the first
named would feel constrained to respect.
The young republic Of France has in this
matter put her older and more powerful
sister republic, the United States, to
blush, while she has set it commenda-
bic example in It's dealings with the as
serty, bossy dominicans.
