a very amusing scene occurred once
while was serving Lady and gentle
man Of the uninistakable upstart type
They were grossly ignorant Of the most
elementary rules Of table etiquette, show
cling the food into their mouths with
their knives, which were constantly load
ed half way TIP to the handles. They
managed to struggle through their din
ner, sometimes casting aside knives and
forks and attacking game and poultry by
cutting them IN halves and eating from
their hands, holding the leg. Sometimes,
too, they became ridiculoussy polite by
carving bread with knife and fork but
the climax came when l set two bowls
of rosewater before them as finger
glasses
They looked at each other, and then
cautiously around the room, trying to
find some solution Of the mysterious dish
before them, not having the sense to ig-
more it altogether. Whispered consulta-
tions took place. which presently grew
into suppressed quarrel, the lady re-
preaching her lord for his ignorance.
Suddenly she was seen to shake the wa
ter around and around, and finally. with
look Of contempt and superior wis
dom, she raised the bowl to her lips and
drank all the contents. Needless to say
that the hearty laughter Of the other di-
ners made them feel the mistake. and
they beat hasty retreat. Tit

Keeping stiI1 Half a Minute.

There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of q watch. Otherwise
silence and gloom pervaded the elegantly
furnished drawing room.
In one chair sat a beautiful girl, her
lips tightly closed, her eyes staring
straight before her and her every mus
Gle tense with powerful effort Of self
control. In another sat young man
whose face expressed seriousness but
confidence. In his hand he held an open
watch, which he observed closely, only
raising his eyes now and then to glance
at the beautiful girl, who seemed to be
in such agony. Five seconds, 10, Is, &C
seconds passed. The position of neither
the young man nor beautiful girl had
changed. Suddenly her eyes CLEANED
with wild light; her bosom heaved; she
clasped her hands convulsively.

The best butter COWS now give all
average of per cent fat to their milk.
The expert can tell a good milk COW
at o glance. She is small boned, with
lean neck, large udder and thin tail,
Your large, oxy looking COW with small
udder is built for beef, not for milk
They do not seem to know much about
cows in Scotland, well as they are up in
theology and some other things. The av-
erage Scotch cows milk contains only a
little over 8 per cent butter fat.
Our creamery men need to learn the
Danish secret of ripening cream by
means Of 'sferment." The ferment is
made from sterilized skimmilk, and it Il
prepared fresh every day.
For all the Danes have the name Of
making the best butter, their cows do
not give as rich milk as our Jerseys and
Guernseys. The per cent of butter fat is
only 81.
The reasons for the high price Of
Danish butter in Europe are, first, its
uniformity; second, its aroma or butter
flavor, which our agent declares is Sc
cured through the use of an artificial fer
ment In the cream. All Danish butter
is Of bright straw color and is saltel
all alike. There is only one grade Of
Danish butter, merchants say, and that
is a No. /. You cannot get an inferior
grade if you ask for it.
At one of the experiment stations a
test was made Of raising cream by the
ordinary process aud then Of separating
it with the Baby de Laval. The seps-
rator gave an increased yield In butter
Of from to IL pounds Of butter day in
the herd of 90 to 2J cows kept at the sta
ton.
Look out for the oily tonguod cream
cry machine agent about this time Of
year. Don't be bamboozled into the be-
lief that you can start o cooperative
creamery or any other kind Of d ona
with less than 300 cows on an average.
Let each farmer 20 very slow in his own
mind and find out all about the cost Of 4
creamery from somebody else than the
agent, who wants to sell the machinery
and does not care rap what happens to
anybody after that. There are hundreds
of just such. A large proportion Of all
kinds of travelling agents are Of this sort
unfortunately.
One reason given in favor OF winter
dairying is that at that season Of the year
there is not much outside WORK to be
lone, and farm people viii have more
fna to milk and take care of the cows.

Mud shoes For Horses.


We doubt if very many persons ever
saw mud shoes for horses. They are
used on horses in blowing the low and
wet lands of the valley north of Sumner
nearly every spring. The mud shoe con
sists Of q heavy board about inches
wide and from to 10 inches long, round
ing in the front. On this board q red
hot shoe Of the size worn on the horses
foot for which it is intended is placed
until it burns into it to depth almost
sufficient to bury itself. It is necessary
that the shoe have a long toe and long
corks. A piece Of circular band iron to
fit over the top part of the hoof is then
attached to the board and over the hoof
to hold the mud shoe solidly to the foot.
One end of the band is fastened to the
board with a screw, which when tight
ened holds the board as squarely to the
bottom of the hoof as if it had grown
there. The horses become accustomed
to wearing them and after day Or two
experience no difficulty in working IN

Success In Hatchine Sturgeon.

An important step in fish culture has
recently been made by the United States
commission of fisheries. Commissioner
Marshall Mcdonald will be able to DEM
onstrate that the artificial culture of the
sturgeon is as practicable as that of the
shad or trout. The sturgeon fishery pro-
duces q most important export in its
caviare. 1t is one of the most valuable
of the coast industries, and its present
condition seems to warrant all the efforts
Of scientific fish culture In 1888 exper-
iments in the Matching of sturgeon were
carried on at Delaware City, DEL, by the
commission, but they were SO little sue
cessful that until the present no further
efforts were deemed advisable.
The results that have just been at
tanned at the same locality by an assist
ant Of the commission, Dr.. Bashford,
dean of Columbia college. New York,
seem, howevers to be most important.
In his trial experiment he has employed
q Hoating matching case OF his own de
sign and has succeeded in Matching sew
eral thousand young sturgeon. The
floating cases were filed with fertilized
eggs and moored in strong, brackish
current. The eggs were hatchedin "a

address as Above. .

There is one lawyer in the city who
will never again make use Of LaMn
phrases in v iting business letters. A
short time a. he had to write letter to
a client in q neighboring city regarding
an important lawsuit that was to come
up before the court in the course of a
few days. The information he solicited
was highly essential to his case. In writ
ing this epissle he made use Of letter
head with his printed address at the top.
In closing his letter he signed himself
thus: John Langdon, Address ut supra
After waiting several days for the re-
ply, which did not come, he again wrote
his procrastinating client and asked why
he had not sooner answered his first let
ter. The next day he received a reply in
which the client said that he had an
swered the letter and addressed it 70

Using a New word.

Children are quick to learn new words
and store them up in their memory to be
used on the first occasion that presents
itself.
"A small Buffalo boy rang his mothers
doorbell one day recently and brought

CREAMERY GOSPEL.
Creameries Double Dairy Profits Where
They Are Run Right.

Creamerles Double Dairy Profits Where
They Are Run Right.
Creameries are money mills. 1t is put
ting it extremely mild to say that they
have doubled the dairy profits Of the
places where they are successfully run
ming. The buttermaking of the future
will be in creameries. They are here to
stay. But they are not here to stand
still in any sense. They must run, and
run by constantly improving methods.
Some fellow is always getting ahead Of
the average of creamery operatives, and
others find it out and come up alongside
and perchance outstrip him. The race
is to the quick witted and observing. To
stand still is to fall back. To progress
slowly, even, is to fall back in the pro
cession. All must be on the alert or they
will be left in the rear.
This is why we so often refer to stan
dard topics, such as flavor, etc. One
third of our creameries are no credit to
themselves nor to the business. 1t is
not enough that they make better look
ing butter than the curdy Jumps their
patrons make at home. It is no honor
to compete with packing stock and
particolored grease. The competition is
with creamery butter made as it should
be made, and the good butter catches
the prices that are quoted with pleasure.
1t is this laggard third that we want to
spur up, and we want to encourage the
winning two-thirds and keep them up
to their best efforts. Experience that
don't track is poor experience.
Making all the creamery butter gilt
edge will be benefit to the whole bust
ness, as it will give it better name. We
find the demand for private dairy butter
is kept up by the fact that some one some
time saw the inwardness Of some dirty,
i'll starred creamery, and ever afterward
he went around grooming in q cultural
undertone the refrain about Creamery
butter looking well, but he had seen ii
made and did not want any" Help each
other, boys. Let US all get there with
flying colors. Creamery Journal.
