alarmed at first, and she appeared better

work as usual. But she soon began TO

work. ran down until the l4th day of
March, when she expired. She was al
most eighteen years of age, and was IN
her prime for usefulness. She bore her
sickness with great fortitude. We feel
that we (not the community have sus-
! tanned a great loss; loss, indeed, when
can not be made up by any young and
frisky colt Kindly insert the following

The new creamery put in by w. w.
Person of Burke, n. Y, is in operation,
and everything promises well. The
building is erected near the old Jenness
brick kiln, perhaps as convenient point
| as could have been selected. The found
alton of the building is not good but can
be made so hereafter. The cream is tax
en- from the milk by the Danish separator,
an expensive machine, which we believe
was invented in Germany. 1t consists
of two cylinders with tubes, guages, etc.
for the inflow and outflow of the milk
and cream. The outer cylinder Is sta
tionary and is merely cover or protec-
ton for the inner revolving part. The
revolving cylinder is Is inches in diane
ter and about the same depth, the bottom
of it round, like an old boiling pot, and
this is tight, so that the milk Will stand
in it, as in a pail, when not in motion
the top part is open; there are upright
fianges in this cylinder, similar to those
in the old style barrel churn. These
fanges help to carry the milk around
with the cylinder as it revolves. The
philosophical principal of separating
the milk and cream is simple: The clyin
