Cleansing the Churn.

When the butter comes out too freely
with the milk we add twelve to fifteen
gallons of cold, sweet skimnlilk, then re-
volve the churn right quickly eight or
ten times, and we can draw off the re-
manning buttermilk thus diluted with
skimmilk very closely. We do this as
this milk will make the very best kind
of buftermilk for next morning if prop
erly stirred. II you have no sale for the
butterlnilk, of course fresh water will do
as well as the sl1immilk.
When all the milk is drained off as
nearly as possible, put cold water in the
churn for washing | never use ice
water here, only 80 dogs. water, and in
cold weather even about IS degs., and
always have the butter perfectly firm.
For 100 pounds butter put in about 70
gallons water; before revolving stir tho
butter with wooden fork) then re-
volve fast, as before. In warm weather,
and when Cummings are large, run off
this water and repeat the washing.
When only about eighty or ninety pounds
of butter are churned one washing is
sufficient. Then the butter is taken out
by hair sieve and the sides of the
churn rinsed off with cold water.
When every particle of butter is taken
out (and it is easily done) the water is
drawn off. After that being done, please
look into the churn, and it looks almost
clean. Now put in boiling hot water,
to which add some sal soda, and wash,
first by hand, ana be sure not only to
leave the venthole open, but also open q
few times the faucet through which the
butterlnilk runs off, turning it upward,
and the steam will thoroughly clean the
faucet. Then run the churn for two OF
three minutes and at once draw off the
water This done. there is never any
Ecraping to be done. Only about twice
week we scrub the churn with brush,
and it keeps perfectly fresh and clean in
this manner. Always finish with hot
water, not with cold, which is the way
to do with all creamery utensils and
milk cans.-Cor. Creamery Journal.

THOMAS NELSON PAGE.

As matter of fact the drawer" has
never been made up, | believe, by the gen
tleman who nominally conducted it. The
anecdotes and jokes which are placed in
it have been selected for four years past
by that genial humorist, Mr.. John Ken
drick Bangs, and he will continue in the
work for which he is SO happily fitted.
This engagement on Harper's Magazine
will not bring Mr.. Page to New York to
live, though probably his connection
with literature will be closer than here
tofore. 1t has never been his chief oc-
cupation, and upon it, fancy, he has
never greatly depended for his living.
His serious occupation is practicing law
in Richmond, which has been his homo
since he was graduated from the Vir-
ginia University School of Law. And
in this practice he has had very graft
flying success.
Story telling, or story writing, he has
done only in his moments of leisure. II
he had depended on his pen at the
outset he would have had rather a dis
couraging time, for it was long time
before his work was appreciated and he
got a hearing. When, however, his
"Marse CHAM tale of the civil war.
was published, it attracted very general
notice, and the world realized that Il
new writer, with great gift for using
the negro dialect, had arisen. Since
then he has been in much demand, and
has had no difficulty in selling all the
stories he has found time to write. AS a
reader of his own stories Mr.. Page is
peculiarly happy, as he can render the
negro dialect with very telling effect.
Personally, Mr.. Page is a man Of great
gentleness, and those who have been
thrown in contact with him have been
charmed by his modesty and grace of
manner. Some while ago, in the sud
den and tragic death of his young wife,
he suffered a bereavement which does
not grow less with time.

SoMETowN, N. j., Jan. 21.-In this
region it is as impossible not to know
your neighbours business as it is for your
neighbor not to know yours. You may
not be personally acquainted with many
people whom you well know by sight,
but you are sure to know something Of
them if you deal with the local butcher
and grocer, because their drivers will
enter the kitchen on cold morning and
chat as long as they dare to neglect the
performance of their clerical functions.
The grocer will say, among other things
81 don't see how the Smiths live; they
don't buy twenty dollars worth of gro
ceries in a mountaineering but yeast
cakes and soda crackers all the time. It
makes me laugh when drive up in a
big red wagon to deliver a yeast cake.
Now it's different with the Joneses across
the street; their bill is always about
ninety dollars month. The Joneses
are very nice people and know how to
live. Why, they spend more on olive oil
than the Rogerses spend on -four, sugar
and coffee. The Rogerses are pretty close
people; they keep chickens to save the
price of eggs, and in the summer they
buy tomatoes by the bushel when they're
dirt cheap and can them"
AS soon as the grocer departs, the
butcher drops in and says:
Everybody is buying sausage because
it is only twelve cents a pound. Even
the Griggses, living in that big stone
house and keeping four servants, have
stopped on prime rib and taken to pork
trimmings. They used to buy a hundred
dollars worth a month, and now they're
only buying forty and less. They used
to have partridge and quail and wood
cock and terrapin, and just said send it
up without asking the price. Slocum's
trade isn't worth having any more. 1t
doesn't amount to twelve dollars a
month. They can make soup bone
produce a weeks soup and last four
days as cold meat and hash. With a
piece Of corned beef in the house they
are prepared for siege of two weeks"

Description of Their Advantages by a
Man WHO Built One.
Now, if we can SO construct our
creameries that the milk will run into
the factory, into the separators, the
cream into the watts and churn, and the
skim milk and buttermilk into the haul
er's wagon by gravity, without lifting or
pumping anywhere in the course, we
save labor, expense and annoyance
Pumps will wear out, foul with milk,
and damage rather than improve the
quality of the butter.
Pumping buttermilk from vat or
cistern surely leaves portion of the
poor, old sour stuff to utterly ruin for
feed the butternilk from the next days
churning. Few places in Iowa are SO
level that hillside cannot be obtained
wherein creamery can be constructed
with such descent as to run the milk
into and through the factory without
using pump and allow proper drainage.
The first essential in selecting site
for creamery is an abundance of pure
water; the next is drainage. Without
these the best constructed factory must
be worthless. Herewith is description
of one built in the spring of 1890, capable
of handling 90, 900 pounds of milk per day
with the labor of two men. The build
ing is "a by 40 feet and 12 by 80 feet.
The churn floor is II feet, separator
floor IA feet, receiving vat floor s feet
and the milk and weighroom 5 feet
long. The nillzroom is II feet inches
above the churn foor-the first rise
feet, the next 80 inches; the next,
to weigh-can floor, 50 inches, and thence
to the floor upon which the milk cans
are set from the wagon, 80.
The patron has but to tip his can over
and the milk pours into the weigh-can
standing on the scales, it is weighed, a
3-inch gate let's it run into the re-
ceiving vat, thence it runs into the tenn
pering vat, thence into separators, the
cream running into the cream watts and
the skim milk into its vat, where the
patron draws it into his can i'll his wagon
by opening a gate. The cream runs
into the churn, the buttermilk runs from
the churn through a short pipe under
the separator floor, thence out to the vat,
from which it is drawn into barrels in
the wagon by opening gate.
The building is 16 feet high, and over
the churn floor is q storage room 10 by
10 feet and sleeping room same size,
with bathtub furnished with hot and
cold water. The drain is OF, tile, dis
charging into Beaver creek, forty feet
from the building. The butter room is &
by8, holding 100 tubs Of butter, and sup
piled with ice from the upper floor.
A twenty horse power boiler, set in
brick work, supplies the power and heats
the building. A fifteen horse power en-
CINE does the work. By use of the steam
pump the boiler is fed through the closed
heater, thus saving fuel, and water is
pumped under the milk and cream as
needed and for washing the floors. It is
not presumed that this is model cream
cry, but it is SO much more convenient
than those built on level, and SO much
more economical in labor of operation,
that the plan is offered to those contem-
plating building, in the hope that they
may improve upon ito. T. Denison in

Within few miles of this Office is a
butter extractor at work. The milk
runs in at the top There is whiz and
a whirl and the slkilnmilk runs out at
one point and the butter drops away at
another. 1t is all done 'while you
wait" Within short distance of the
extractor tired man brings his milk
from the barn in a pail. A still more
tired woman strains it into pans and
puts Che pans carefully away. Later on
the pans are SKINNED by hand, the
cream is poured into cream pot and
from that into a churn. Then the tired
woman "between times" lifts about ten
tons of weight on the churn dasher in
