"Yes.'
swell, see the effect" returned the
other. The butter was scooped out OF
the churnS and weighed. That taken
from the churn into which the powder
had been put weighed 12115 ounces, while
the butter from the other churn weighed
but AZ ounces.
What caused such difference, that
one quart of cream should make three
times as much as the same quantity in
another churn?" asked the reporter.
Only that little powder you saw put
into it?''
WHAT'S the powder composed OFF"
swell, that's secret. But I'll tell
you this much, that it's composed of but
two vegetable ingredients that are not
harmful. You see the buttermilk in
the churn the powder was put in; well,
it's thin almost as water. while the but
termilk in the other churn is thick and
lumpy. That means that the butter in
the first churn has been taken
almost entirely out of the milk.
You see, generally butter is OBJ
tanned IN the maximum proportion of
about four pounds to every hundred
pounds of milk. This proportion, de-
creasing according to the quality Of
milk, contains about eighty-seven
pounds of water, four pounds OF butter,
caseine and sugar, snd pound of salt
and other solids. By the usual process
of churning we get only the Oil, or lose
the caSeine and sugar. By using the
powder we get part of these elements,
and, consequently, six or eight pounds
where we would otherwise have got but
four pounds. Quite discovery isn'tit?
eve heard about this discovery East
and sent for some of the powder. 1t
proves to be ali right, and we are g4ing
to sell the right to use it to the farmers
and dairymen of Minnesota. Wen
sell farmer the right to use it for $40,
and he can buy the ingredients for so
cents at any drug store that will last
about year for churning the cream of
six COWS. l think almost any farmer
would be glad 10 give Sl0-rote to get
twice OF three times the amOuntof butter
out of his cream when they are spend
ing hundreds and thousands of dollars
in buying fancy breeds of cattle that
are supposed to give milk that makes
little more butter than that of other
cattle. Not only this. but this powder
will refreshen butter that is actually
stale and make it as fresh and palatable
as when it was first churned. Great
thing, isn't it %
The reporter thought it was ''great,"
about the most wonderful thing he had
heard of lately, and passed on, wonder
ing if the next invention of these pro-
greSSive days would be to feed hens
something to make them lay hard
boiled eggs.
"Horse racing is not republican in
stitution. Only very rich can
keeprace horses, and everybody knows
elements. 81 Gambling on a
great scale is not republican. It be-
longs to two phases of society-a can
kered-over civilization such as exists in
aristocracies and the reckless life of
borderers and adventures OF the semi
barbarism of civilization resolved into
its primitive elements"
Over thirty years ago the Autocrat OF
the Breakfast Table, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, in speaking of the failure of an
American horse to win the English
Derby, wrote those words, horse racing
being used in contradistinction to horse
trotting. Since then horse racing has
become an established institution in
America, and the love of it has even i'll
vaded the great Northwest, which, at
the time DR.. Holmes wrote, cut but a
very small figure in the United States.
Taking Dr.. Holmes words as true,
for they will be seen to be true
if studied, and the significance
of the holding of successful running
ciated. The Northwest can scarcely
belong to that phase of civilization
characterized by Dr.. Holmes as that of
| bOrdererS and advenIurers. BordererS
race their horses, but they do not build
| big grand stands wherein crowds may
! cOngregate to witness the same. The
Northwest is not semi-barbarous. 1t
must then possess that "cankered-
| over civilization such as exists in
| ariStocracieS." While there is not
much of an aristocracy up in this coun-
| try, there are plenty of wealthy peo-
| pie, whom DR.. Holmes intended to class
| among the ariStocratS, enough, at least,
to support horse racing. Here, then. is
the strongest argument in refutation of
| the statement which our friends of the
East are so fond of making, that the
| Northwest is NEW country. Horse
racing is successful up here; hence the
Northwest has long since Outgrown its
swaddling clothes.
"Why don't you go into training and
| get thin? You're too aWfully fat,''
| Mr.. Fat Man, how often do you hear
that question, and the succeeding posi-
tive statement, in the course of a day?
| Certainly not less than a score of times
per day. Do you know why it is SO often
fired at you? Because the thin fellows
are jealous. They see that you take
comfort through life, even if you are
fat, and they envy you because OF it.
They know, if they know anything, that
you will beat them out in the race of
| life, even if you are too fat" No one
| ever saw fat man who did not enjoy
life to its utmost, no matter what his
station. His digestion is never wrong.
His liver is always in good, active con-
dition. He eats three meals day, sub
| Stantial ones too, and has something to
drink with them. If he can't get cham
payne, he drinks beer and calls it
good. He never kicks. He usually
lives to a rosy, jolly old age,
and his grandchildren all love
ed as regards this worlds goods. The
fat man always gets the best position in
! his business. He never runs off to Can
ada either. He seldom goes to jail,
likewise the insane asylum. OF him
the wife beaten is never manufactured.
nor the murderer. Blessed, then, be
the fat man. While his superabundance
of adipose is constant source of worry
to all who know him, it never impedes
him in his course, and, while they are
advising him to get thin, he is leaving
them far behind on the road.
