of cream bottled on the farm. 1t should

carried on in London and could be made
to pay here.-Rural New Yorker.

Cotton Mills of the South.

The cotton mills in the southern states
in 1890 consumed 100000 bales, or one
fourth of the entire quantity worked up
in this country that year. This is gain
over 1880 of more than 100000 bales.

fourth of the output Of Great Britain

Starter for Ripening Cream.

have used the Boyd starter system
for ripening cream for about two years,
and would not like to do without it. It
gives US practically the control Of atnos-
pheric changes and uniform quality and
quantity, and is simple. To make the
starter or yeast warm sweet skimmilk
up to 80 degs.; then put it in a ferment
can and cover it closely-air tight if pos
sible. In about twenty-five hours it is
ready for use. 1 then add one gallon to
twenty or twenty-five Of cream, warm
the mixture up to 70 degs. in winter,
cover tightly and keep it where the tenn
perature will not go below 65 degs. The
cream will be ripe in twenty-four hours.
The cream vat being tight, no odors,
flies or dirt can get in, in summer or
winter. now use the Babcock test in
my dairy to test for butter. Before it
was brought out ripened and churned
a days milk from the cow | wanted to
test. The Babcock is the most correct
method and is perfectly simple.-W. Ell.
Gilbert in Rural New Yorker.
The price of first class butter keeps
up handsomely this winter. Don't make
any other kind and you will never get
left. If you don't know how to make
gilt edged butter, find out. Take a
good paper, ask among your neighbors
noted for their skill. There is one COM
fort always in this life: Whatever we
most need to know to improve ourselves,
we are never too old to learn it. And

INTRODUCTION.

l was captured near Cleveland, East Ten
nessee, Immediately after the battle of
Missionary Ridge, November 30. 1863 and,
with thirty-seVen of my men, was sent on
70 Richmond, by way of Atlanta The en-
listed men were taken to Belle Isle, and l,
with q number of other unfortunate Off
GERS who had joined US at differert points
on the way, was sent to Libby prison.
Some day, if spared, may write cut the
story of my six months residence in Libby,
but as my experience after leaving that
place is more personal, l think it will be
found more interesting to the average
reader.
When Grant began his advance on Rich
mond in May, 1864, there were about %, 600
of our enlisted men in prison on the Belle
Isle and some 1000 officers were confined
in Libby. All these prisoners were sent
down to Andersonville and Macon, Georgia,
before May z, excepting a few men who
were held back sick in the hospitals, or who
had been captured in the battle of the Will
dernesB.
! was one Of those who had escaped
through "the great tunnel" from Libby the
previous February, but l was recaptured
after being out four days and five nights,
during which time had little or no sleep
and suffered with the cold and for want of
food. On being taken back to Libby | was
placed with other recaptured officers in
the cells under the prison, and here l con-
tracted fever that kept me weak till the
other prisoners were hurried south.

or company who employs agents or contractors
to do work OF any kind for them RESPONSE
bic for the wages OF all employees OF such agents
or contractors.
so many laborers have been defrauded by
dishonest contractors ard sub contractors that

the laboring classes.
This Will be no hardship to persons letting
out work, as they can either require agents or
contractors 70 furnish bonds or can pay the la
borerS themselves before paying said agents or
con FACTORS
ond. To enact law similar to the ordi-
nances of most or all cities in regard to protect
ing buildings from fire caused by detective
tues or stoyepipes through roofs etc, and to
empower the county courts to have this law
properly enforced.
Several houses have been destroyed in Davis

And spontaneously Declare in Favor Of the
Democratic Ticket
The workingmen held a meeting at Inde-
pendence hail last night, and although it
was not called in The interests Of any par
ticular party, the audience quickly and
emphatically proclaimed itself to be Demo
cratic. After music by Heids band, NJ
Collins called the meeting 10 order and in
trcduced T. V. Payton, of Ogden, whose
announcement that he was a Democratic
ten-acre lot filled with hickory stumps,"
was greeted with enthusiastic applause
Mr.. Payton then went on to give his views
Of the tariff from a workingman's stand
point.
He was followed by Col. Lett, Salt
Lakes next mayor, whose appearance on
the stand was the signal for tremendous
applause. Col. Lett made very brief, but
ringing address, which took the audience
by storm.
j. L. Green gave his reasons for being
Democrat, and Judging from the cheers
which greeted his utterances, he must have
voiced the sentiments OF his auditors
The inimitable Timmony was next intro.
duced, and he made one of his character
istic speeches, in which the effects of Lib
eral misrule were wildly depicted, and in
closing he urged the workingmen TO stand
by the party which had done so much for
them, and elect Col, Lett mayor of Salt
Lake.
The audience was a generous one. and
when II was announced that E. A. Franks,
the independent candidate for marshal.
was in the hall, he was invited TO speak.
and said
II hope you do not expect speech from
me as am not talker. But next Monday
night expect to be marshal OF this city. /
ask you all 10 assist me with your votes
and if you do, l will assist you in putting
down the hobos with which our city il in
tested"
Mr.. De Silva was called upon, and in re-
spending he paid a warm tribute to the
workingmen. He then referred to the his
tory of the party of jefferson, and re-
counted some OF its glorious achievements
That party had always been the friend of
the workingmen and had made education
the bulwark of liberty. The Liberals stood
before the world without principle or a
platform to commend them, and their mis-
mion on earth was ended. Applause
n. A. Parks made @ neat address. in
which he took occasion to urge all working
men TO vote the Dcmocra ic ticket straight
A resolution was adopted declaring
in favor of all work on school buildings
here being done by organized labor, and
Messrs, Parks, Bullock and Tyne were
appointed a committee to wait upon the
bord of education.
The meeting then adjourned with cheers
for the Democratic ticket.

me over the breast of my ragged shirt, then

me over, he asked:
"Are you sickl"
II am, replied.
"Well, Pm to take you to the hospital for
awhile.''
"T6 the Roger hospital!" asked.
Without deigning reply he motioned
for me to follow him, and led me in the di-

that forbidding looking building. 1t was
