To the Standard.
In the STANDARD Of the 18th is an
article under this headline, which
might lead some dairy farmers to
think, that possibly the system Of
selling only cream ard not milk to a
creamery, would be more practical.
| wish everybody to understand that
| have considered this matter very
closely and from practical experience
hj'0w that the creamery gathering
system in this section is practically
impossible. Even in the North |
have very little faith in any great
development of that system, while
the system of separating the cream
from the milk by centrifugal force is
spreading rapidly. But without
going into details | will only men
ton a few points that will convince
any one of the impracticability of the
system Of collecting only cream. In
order to succeed at ali a farmer must
set his milk Immediately after milk
ing in tin cans in water which is cold
enough to make the cream rise per-
fectly without getting sour. Whenever
the milk begins toget sour, the cream
stops rising; nearly all springs in this
section are 600 or over that, which
temperature is entirely too high to
raise all cream on the milk; and be-
sides, all farmers do not have even
such springs in which to keep their
milk. Ice we cannot think of using
here for cooling milk ON a farm, and
the necessary result will bean imper-
feet rising Of the cream, or an abso-
Lutte loss, as it never pays to feed
cream to pigs! Let us now even sup
pose, that number of farmers did
send cream gained from milk by set
ting it in water Of co., the result will
be, that this cream, which has been
so little cooled, will get too sour, being
driven many miles about the coun-
try before reaching the creamery,
and such cream never can be made
into first class butter; at least it never
can compete with our butter made
from cream gained perfectly fresh
through the Separator. In order to
make a creamery success nowadays,
we must produce not merely a fine
article, bnt the very top product.
Besides it will always be profitable
to produce certain amount ofcheese,
and this is entirely lost when only
cream is bought. AS to facts, we can
only refer to the fate of three facto-
ries in thisstate, GAINESVILLE, Trenton
and Paris, which were all establish.
ed on the cream gathering system,
and have all stopped never to start
again, at least not on that system
This does not mean that the cream
gathering system may not do right
well in certain sections of the North
and West, but it most certainly never
will in the south until some new in
ventions are made that we now
don't know any thing about. Tht
Separator system is at present tn,
only one that can make the cream
business a success in the south. AnC

In the quite general howl that is being
raised in the pulpits of the country over
the publication of Sunday newspapers it
is pleasant TO find one able defender Of
the Sunday press in the person of Rabbi
Hirsch OF Chicago.
In a sermon preached last Sunday he
said: The allegation that newspapers
keep people away from the church is not
u If the Sunday editions are stop
ned il would be found that the complaint
OF empty benches would be as frequent
AS now Let the churches and syna-
rurues look TO themselves for the fault OF
non ~church-going They are too much
the asylum Of the rich and have toe little
in sympathy with the poor, who ask for
bread and receive a stone. There arc
TOO many mouthings of dogma. The
olden he'll with its horrors is dished
up and served too frequently. There
are too many mountebanks in the pull
nit If churches and ~sYnagogues
will turn the gaze of men to
moral culture, the development of char
acter. instead of preaching cold creeds
and sensationalisms, there would less dis
position TO charge ebmity against the
Sunday papers. The tendency of the
weeks labors IL to level us with the
machine we operate; Sunday should be
given to raising ourselves above and be.
You'd them Sunday should be given in
is early hours to cultivation; it should be
sacred to home, the family and friendship,
There should be in pleasant weather free
Intercourse with nature.
let them see, as Shakespeare says,
good in everything; let workingmen take
in the srimulants OF fresh, open air and
there will be less disposition to resort to
those stimulants when nature is exhausted
which set on FIRE their frames. Let the
family keep together and enjoy the day;
then will there be no disposition to abuse
the gifts of God and nature to man. Our
state and nation owe much to the puritan
thought pervading the foundations of this
land, but times have changed. In Ger.
many. although the afternoon Of Sunday
is devoted to pleasure, one hears of no
disturbance. no %rioting, no drunkenness,
no arrests, because the family is together,
and love has thrown her armor of protec-
ton about its members. There wine is a
symbol aud music u sign OF uplifted man
hood. In this country evils grow out of
such amer of observance, because social
hypocrisy alhxcs a stigma Upon the proc
tice.

In Telos wedding presents are exceed
ingly practical, and partake chiefly Of b
nature of food to be consumed at the
wedding festivities; and toward even
ing on this day, when all the baskets Of
grain had been gathered together, the
young men of the village distributed 1t to
be ground in the hand mills, and for the
space of two hours nothing was to be
heard in the town save the m-onotonous
grinding of the two stones, and the
equally monotonous songs of h women
engaged in this occupation. 1t was nearly
dark when Peter, the bridegroom elect,
was informed that all the -four WIS
ground, w~hereupon certain young men
OF his acquaintance, with flutes, bag
pipes and Tyres, escorted him from house
to house to collect this flour in large
sacks.
At each house they tarried for a little
time, the instruments played and the
young men and maidens danced a curl
Gus little dance, in which one man and
one maid alone took part, at the same
time singing little love songs as they
move to and fro. From house to house
they wandered, singing and dancing all
the evening, and when the flour was col
lected they took II to Catharine's house,
where a table was spread, at which the
women who had ground the grain and
the young men who had accompanied
the bridegroom were entertained. After
this meal, and when all were merry with
wine, the dancing began again, and con
tinued well into the night; 1t was very
interesting and pretty to watch theiinter-
laced Cretan dance, the quiet, stately
singing dances, and the brilliant aero
batic feats of the leader of the circular
dance. Thus ended the great prenuptial
ceremony of 1.-THE greater Fourteen
tleman's Magazine.

WHEN the 9TH of November came
everybody breathed a sigh of relief and
thanked their stars that politics was a
thing Of the past. But this life of ours
is a continual round OF pleasure, and Just
as soon as one campaign is ended we are
ready for another. The city election will
take place on Jan. s. Already there is
somewhat of a stir among the politicians,
even though it has not yet reached the
rank aud file of the people. Entirely too
little attention is paid to these municipal
contests. We have been fortunate IN
usually securing good officials without
re lily making an effort to do so. There
has been some talk of holding
a union convention and rendering
the poai1ation for mayor to
some representative citizen regardless
of his politics and with an eye single to
his acknowledged capability. Whether
tins plan would suit those who are
usually in the habit Of manipulating such
things is rather doubtful. Only those
who have paid their poll taxes are priv,
eleged to vote at the city election and it
is usually not a very difficult matter to
have enough poll taxes paid in the inter
est of some particular candidate to secure
his election. To-day is the last day of
grace allowed in the payment of such
taxes and every citizen who has the inter
est of the town at heart should see that
his name is on the listg

PROF. PROCTOR DEAD.
The Great Scientist Victim OF Yellow
Fever.

Prof Richard A. Proctor. the great as
tronomer and lecturer, died in the Willard
Parker private hospital in New York, of
yellow fever, few days ago
He arrived from Florida few days be-
fore. He complained Of feeling unwel,
but thought his illness nothing more scri-
Gus than malaria. He grew worse, and died
in great agony his death being preceded
by slight commissions and the black vomit
Of the yellow fever.
Richard Anthony Proctor was born i'm
Chelsea, England. March -. 1s37 He was
taught az home until his eleventh year, and
then entered an academy, whore he re
manned three years and became head boy
OF the institution. After the death Of his
father, in $50. the family became much
embarrassed financially through chancery
delays in a friendly suit In 1854 young
Proctor accepted - position in "A London
bank and devoted all his spare moments to
mathematics. In SOD the situation having
improved he entered Kings college, Lon.
don. and in 1850 81. Johns college, Cam
bridge. He took his degree in 1850, and
married in the same year For the next
three years his studies were mostly histor-
zeal and literary In 1853 hc wrote an es-
say on Double stars. and in ISIS he pub
lished amonologUe on Saturn, and in 1866 his
"Guomonic Star Atlas and Handbook of
the stars. w These works We're Of "A scien-
q fic but not popular nature In 1855 Lon

considerably ham.crCd by duties arising
from this circumstance. In 1859 he made
some sug Iesiious 10 the astronomer royal
as 20 the best methods of observing the
approaching transit of Venus. and at "A
meeting OF the principal astronomers Of
England his views We're unanimously ap-
proved. But his chief scientific work since
lSG5 has consisted in the investigation OF
evidence available for determining the
structure OF the stellar nd neDular uni
verse IN 1870 Mr.. Proctor published a
work entitled "Othcr Worlds than Ours
which had an extraordinary success and
attracted general attention from the scien-
tfic world. From that time he has been
perhaps the most fertile and popular writer
upon astronomical subjects Of the present
day. He visited America in 1874, delivering
lectures IN the United States, and again IN
lS15. Prof Proctor had resided almost en-
tircly in the United States for number OF
years, having married ~. Joseph. Mo,
lady. His published books comprise "A large
list, almost entirely on astronomical sub
