QUICK WORK.
a Machine That Converts Cream Into
Butter Instantly.

Butter Instantly.
Yet another invention relating to
daicying is about to be introduced to
the British public, says the London Ag.
ricultural Gazette. 1t is the work Of
DR.. De Laval, of Sweden, whose sep
arators are so we'll known all over the
world. The latest outcome of his in
ventive brain is called the lnstantan-
eous Butter Maker, and will be ex-
hibited in the working dairy at the
Plymouth meeting of the Royal Agrl-
cultural Society. For some time past
rumors have been circulated of this
machine, and comments on it have APP
peared in the agricultural press, but
it's introduction to the English public
has wisely been delayed by the makers
and their English agents, the Dairy
Supply Company, Limited, Museum
street, London, until it could be put to
the test. We have been furnished with
the following description:
Dairymen are acquainted with the
| well-lnown form of the Laval Steam
| Turbine Separator, which was awarded
the gold medals of the British Dairy
| Farmers Association and the Royal
Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural
| Society. To this separator the new
churn is attached. 1t consists of a cyl
inder about twelve inches long and four
inches in diameter within which a
dasher revolves at about three thousand
revolutions per minute, being driven
by rope belt of the same kind IS Is
used to drive power separator
from the separator spindle. The
cream, on leaving the separator in
tho usual way, passes over an ingen-
iously contrived refrigerator of now de-
sign which is admirably calculated to
reduce the temperature as low as possi-
BILE with very small consumption of
cold water; it then enters at one end of
the cylinder, in the course of its passage
through which the cream is churned
into butter, and energies at the other
end in a granular form. Dairymen who
have had their butter-milk ahalyzed
from time to time know that there is
great loss in the present system Of
churning large quantities of cream, as
it is impossible to ensure that every
butter globule shall receive the same
amout of concussion and hence the but
ter-milk often contains large percent
age of butter.
This is avoided with DR.. De Laval's
new invention, as the cream must pass
equally through the cylinder, receiving
regular and rapid concussion from
the revolving dasher. The cylinder is
inclosed in a water casing so that the
temperature is kept very low and the
butter is consequently firm. 1t is very
free from buttermilk, and therefore
keeps we'll. The churn is fixed to the
separate frame and can be attached tc
any of the Laval machines. AS shown
on the turbine the whole process of sep
arating the milk and churning the but
ter is performed by jet of steam direct
from the boiler without the interven
tion of shafting, betting, or an engine
of any kind. The churn has no com
plex arrangements about it, and moth
ing could be more simple than the way
in which it can be taken to pieces anC
cleaned. The process is entirely auto
matte, requiring very little pawer ant
| attention while in use

grain is grown on the farm it can be
stored either in the silo rits-one at

SKILLED WOMEN WORKERS.
In tho Future They VIII Join Combina-

In tho Future They VIII Join Combina-
tions to Raise the Price of Labor.
Combination among skilled women
workers is increasing every day, though
slowly, for women are naturally con-
servative, and they do not readily ac-
cept the principle of unionism. They
have, many of them, suffered sorely
from the effect of strikes, and though
they realize that prolonged combina-
ton, IL carried out consistently, must
improve their position and in the long
run raise their wages, never lose sight
of the long period during which their
employment must cease till their ulti-
mate demands are conceded. Added to
which they do not forget the bitter feel
ings nroused-the breach between en-
| ployer and servant, and above all, that
in n struggle such as long strike must
always be it is only the strong who win;
the weak ones go to the wall.
All these things make women shy and
slow to join a trade union, while the in
PRODUCTION of foreign labor in England
and the increasing demand on account
of their cheapness, for foreign goods
have made much deeper impression
on their minds than is generally ad-
mitted. The skilled woman worker has,
however, the security of knowing that
she can take up her stand with greater
| chance of success, for with the best
women workers. as with the men. the
supply is rarely in excess of the de-
mand. And were technical instruction
given to women good deal of the better
| class work they can not do would be
carried out in England, instead of being
executed by French women, who are
trained for it in many technical schools
which exist for women in France.
In Scotland the question has been
warmly espoused by the women who
work in Glasgow and Dundee, and the
prospect of combining for the unsllilled
as we'll as the skilled workers is very
much more promising than in England.
Scotch women are more independent
and self-reliant, added to which, though
the pay is bad, their surroundings are
less deteriorating than those of the Lon
don women, and their dwellings are bet
| ter and rents are lower.
The rapid increase of the population
and the influx of people from the coun,
try to the large towns makes the prob
lem of how to deal with our unskilled
female labor every year more difficult
The education hitherto given to women
in England is purely intellectual, and
when a girl has passed the standard She
at once goes into the ranks of the un
skilled. If she can give time she may
be apprenticed and learn a trade, but
the number of girls who can afford to dc
that is getting fewer every day.. The
few shillings girl can earn at once is
too important an addition to the family
income to be rejected, and as the major
ity of them marry while practically
children, neither the necessity of being
apprenticed nor of joining union ap
peals to othem.-English Illustrated Mag

Using sulphur.

The principal value of sulphur is to
fumigate. Put some in pan with some
grease, turn out all the poultry, fasten
all the windows and doors tight and set
fire; let it remain closed three or four
hours at least. Not only will this aid
materially torid the quarters of vermin,
but also to kill out the germs OF disease.

There is no harm in feeding If kept dry,
but if they get wet there is a consid-
erable risk of loss.
After feeding keep dry for few days;
two or three doses should be given in
order to secure the best results. Gener-
ally taking all risks into consideration,
it will be best to use something else
when it can be secured. There are n
number of materials that will answer

The cost of the railroads constructed
and repaired in this country during a
period of twelve years only was in
creased s1SS,514,OO4, by reason of
the protective tariff on steel rails, and
it has been increased by many millions
of dollars by the same policy in other
periods. This was not only an unjust
and oppressive tax in the beginning,
but it constitutes a permanent charge
upon the people, because the farmers
and others who travel and ship freight

A correspondent writes to us: You
seem to me to take too gloomy view
of the carpet trade. There has been
a delay naturally in putting up prices
because the tariff bill was passed
nearly two months before our usual
time of making prices for the winter
season, but the advance now made is
real one, as is proved by the liberal
orders given for next season at the
new rates.
Carpet woods are not perhaps so ex-
cited as at one time, but heavy pur-
chases have been made of woods at
very full prices abroad, to enter un-

Handicapped by the Tariff.

What are the great manufactures
Of New England? They are the
manufactures of leather, iron, cotton,
wool and paper. There are several
others, but these, we suppose, will be
conceded to be the leading staples.
Let US see how the proposed tariff OPP
crates upon them. The boot and
shoelinterest, which is the manufac-
ture out of leather, does not need a
tariff. 1t has derived its aid from a
tariff for many years. The effect up
on it in the case of the Mckinley
tariff, as reported, was that there was
great danger of its injury. The tar
iff for weeks threatened to bring untold
harm upon it by the duty upon hides
that was originally in it. This was
only removed after much anxious
effort. 1t is by no means certain
that it is permanently removed.
The whole matter is left in the hands
of the President, and, under state Of
affairs altogether likely to occur, he
is instructed to restore it. So much
for the tariff and the leather interest.
Then take that of iron. Is it not
notorious and admitted that manu-
facturers in iron in New England are
nearly ruined by the tariff? There
is remonstrance from the iron manu-
facturers along the whole line against
the interference with that business
by it. "Only let us alone" they say,
"and we will conduct our business at
profit. 1t is being killed by the
legislation of the Government to give
Pennsylvania an advantage over u.s."
There is an operation of the tariff
that is absolutely fatal to great
business interest with us. 1t has
driven much of it away already. 1t
is preparing to crush out what re-
mains.
Next there is the cotton manufac-
ture. We do not 40 directly suffer
