Silver and Politics.

The Republicans are still caucus
ing on their silver bill without COM
ing to any. agreement. They have a
difficult task TO harmonic the views
Of the advocates of the gold Standard,
the owners Of the silver mines, the
true friends of silver, who want to
see its old value restored, and of
Harrison and Window, who would
like to make it permanently a
subsidiary metal. Where they will
bring up, no one can tell. But what
ever they do will be decided ON in
secret conference, and done For the
party's benefit, and not for the bsue-
tit OF the peop$e.-{ National Dem

Dams Washed Out.

Last Saturday the Pitt g. Co.'S. dam
about half . mile above the railroad
bridge at Lovelocks was washed out.
The back water raised tho river be-
low and washed out the headgate at
the Southwest ditch, carried away
Joseph Marzen's dam and overflowed
the headgate at Markers ditch and
was washing out a new channel
through the ditch at last accounts.
The damage is considerable. Besides
depriving several farmers of water
for irrigating purposes ut present and
causing great injury to crops, it will
cost thousands of dollars to replace
the dams, one of which, that owned
by Joseph Marzen, cost $4,000

Tho Farmstead Lawn.

Family games, the outdoor games of
summer, must be provided for. Every
body, almost, plays croquet, and lawn
tennis is rapidly becoming an equally
as popular game. The boys also want a
place to play ball, and at least the small
boys can be allowed chance upon the
small area reserved for the two home
games referred to. These ought, of
course. to have as level spot as possi
BILE, with trees around it for shade, but
not too near. Seats may be provided
beneath these trees for weary partici-
pants or elderly on-lookers. It is we'll
worth while to take considerable pains
with this play ground, SO that the games
may be played in satisfactory manner,
and skilled players satisfied with the
facilities for displaying their accom-
plishments. The leveling ought to be
done with care, and fine, thick June
grass sod secured by good preparation
of the ground, liberal seeding, and q
regular but moderate use of the lawn
mower. These things take time; "but

THE DAIRY.
Creamery Expense.

The times of close competition and
the introduction of cooperative cream
cries as we'll as the low price of butter
have made it necessary for the creamery
man to reduce his expense to the mini
mum, in order that he may survive. 1t
is not policy to hire cheap workmen,
but 1t is policy to do away with them.
This can be done very readily If the
creamery is conveniently arranged. One
good man should be able to handle 10,-
900 pounds of milk per day, with a
separator. No one will doubt this when
we say that his principal work will be
the weighing, keeping up steam and
making the butter, say 500 pounds per
day. My idea of creamery is easily
explained.
The institution should be provided
with set of scales and two weigh cans,
and the milk platform should come up
to within eight inches of the weigh can,
enabling the workman to stand in the
pit, where he could weigh and inspect
the milk, then their should be gradual
descent to the milk to flow into the re-
ceiving vat, from there it should be con-
veyed to the heating vat, from which it
could run to the separator, from the
separator the cream should be handily
conveyed to the cream vat and then to
the churn. This would necessitate q
a fall of three feet from the milk plat
form to the bottom Of the weighing pit,
three feet to the milk vat, two and one
half feet to the cream vat floor, and two
and one half feet more to the churn
floor, or total Of twelve and one half
feet from the milk platform to the churn
kxryn al, n
worker one man can easily handle 10, 600
pounds Of milk.
In all creameries the power should be
sufficient to run the machinery with q low
pressure. When boiler and engine
are crowded to their full capacity, there
is no economy. Another source Of profit
of one creameryman over another is IN
knowing that he is getting all Of the
butter out of the milk, and that his
patrons are not skimming or watering
their milk. As rule there are less
business principles applied to the
creamery business than any other branch
Of manufacturing. Does a grain buyer
buy oil of his grain at one price2 No.
Neither does anyone buy or sell COM
modities on the slip-shod plan that
milk is handled.
We have seen undulterated milk that
only produced two pounds Of butter
from one hundrd pounds Of milk, and
other milk that produced five pounds Of
butter, all go into the same vat at the
same price. A creamery should test the
milk and refuse all that goes under less
than the average from the separator
| BY testing the milk once week and
testing the skim milk from the separator
every day the creameryman would soor
locate the source OF some Of his losses
A creamerymani would think butter
buyer crazy if he came every year ani
offered the market price for butter with,
ont looking at it. Still he will buy mill
by weight only, when he has b greater
variation in real value than his buttei

tried by the most delicate persons, ana
with none but excellent results. It

man whose feet were hardly ever warm
from October until June has found Q
glowing circulation in them after few
applications of this simple bath, and
has obtained immunity against the be-
setting colds which had previously been
the misery of life. Duly bearing times

in which the most delicate can find no
danger, and one which will prevent

1t was, of course, to be expected that
in the Western armies, composed en-
tirely of Western troops, Western regi-
ments should have sustained the heavi-
est losses and done the hardest fight
ing. But it now appears that in the
Eastern armies, also. Western regi-
ments fought their way to the front
with customary pluck and heroism. On
the field of Gettysburg the heaviest
loss fell on a Western regiment, the
Twenty-fourth Michigan, Colonel
Henry A. Morrow, having sustained the
largest number of casualties of any
regiment in that battle. This gallant
command marched ON the field with 28
officers and 1853 men. OF this number
it lost SO killed, 249 wounded Cinclud-
ing the mortally wounded), and At
missing; total, 1858. Twenty-Five off
GERS, including Colonel Morrow, and
seven color bearers were killed or
wounded. The "Iron Brigade" COM
posed entirely Of Western regiments,
is also credited with the greatest loss
of any brigade on that famous field.

chicken to greater degree than few
weeks steady diet of hardtack and sow
belly. Those who foated down the
Mississippi with General A. J. Smith,
in 1862, were no exception to the rule.
Hence, as they fled off the boat after
rails for fuel at certain point during
the voyage, several men were seen to
visit the neighborhood OF a henhouse.
When one Of them returned, shortly
afterward, with several rails on his
shoulder, large protuberance was
noticeable under the breast of his
overcoat. While standing upon the
hurricane deck of the boat, General
Smith had noticed commotion among
the poultry, and his ire was aroused to
a towering height. Descending to the
boiler deck, with drawn sword, flushed
face and flashing eyes he commanded
the men, as they walked over the gang
plank, to unbutton their coats and sur
render their illicit plunder. In a few
minutes there were lying at the Gen
erals feet some dozen OF more chick
ems, and his countenance showed that
he keenly enjoyed the disappointment
Of those who reluctantly relinquished
their fowls at his command.
Presently young soldier ambled on
board the boat with an uncommon1y
large load of rails on his shoulder, and
the breast of his coat bulged out to
such an extent that everyone supposed
he had captured turkey gobbler.
"What have under your coat p gruf-
ly demanded old A. j.
well, General, if it don't make any
difference to you, I'd rather not tell, !"
quietly answered the private.
"Unbutton your coat, sir! command
ed the General, fiercely.
It'd rather not, General" pleaded
the soldier.
Raising his. sword in threatening
attitude, the General yelled at the top
Of his voice:
aOPen your coat, d-n you, or I'll
cut it openp
4Well, General, if I must, I suppose
T must"
Accordingly, he proceeded to unbut-
ton his coat, when, 10 ard behold, out
dropped q huge billet Of stove wood.

Gen. Smith. as he turned on his heel
and beat a hasty retreat, leaving the
boys to enjoy their chickens as best
they could. VIZ A
