Dairy and Creamery.

The butter extractor takes the butter
out of sweet new milk direct, the sepa-
rator separates the cream from the milk,
and the cream is afterward allowed to
ripen and is churned in the ordinary
way. A steady war has been waged be-
tween separator and extractor as to
which is most meritorious.
Butter canned and Theoretically sealed
will be one of the articles of commerce
before long Canned butter is quite as
practicable as canned lard or peaches
Thus sealed up butter of the first class
can be shipped TO any country from the

Soft, rich, sweet cream cheeses are
growing in favor, and this is the time
of year to make them to be eaten fresh.
Many butter makers pour a pail of
carefully strained cold brine into the
churn just as the butter begins TO ap-
pear in small grains. Then the churn is
turned slowly dozen times, and the

UNCLE SANS CREDIT IS GOOD.

There does not appear 10 be anything

proximating 2T per cent per year. Tho

pears, therefore, that II the president
had decided to ask for a loan OF one hum
dred millions, as he came very near do

sufficed to make the issue a great sue

sue Of fifty millions will go TO the syndi-

ABOUT TUBERCUllN.
What It Is and How tn Detect the Presence
of Tuberculosis.

What IL Is and How to Detect the Presence
of Tuberculosis.
Much has been said and written
against the use of the tuberculin test,
some going so far in their opposition to
it as to claim that it actually inoculated
tho treated animal with tuberculosis.
But all the veterinarians whom have
questioned declare that it is an almost
infallible test; that when 1t was first
made and used il was not always prop
now it Is of such uniform strength and
purity that it does not fail in one case
In several hundred. That it cannot COM
municate the disease becomes evident
when we know that it is not the active
germ that is used, but simply the poi
con after the germs have been killed by
heat and the fluid passed through a
germproof filter. Its manner of use is
first to take the temperature Of the an
imal two or three times, so as to be sure
to get the average of its tenn nature,
and then inject small quantit"- Of tu-
berculin diluted in 81 per CO.. Of boiled
water, to which about | per cent of car
bolic acid has been added. This is in
jected under the skin. Usually the shout
der is selected, though it makes no diff
ference where
In nine hours the temperature is tax
en- again and thence once in two hours
until l8 hours after the injection If no
tuberculosis be present no rise OF tenn
perature will take place, but if the dis
ease be present decided rise will oc-
cur. II the temperature go above 1903. 9
degrees and the animal look unthrifty.
It should be quarantined and in a few
days again tested. Whenever the tenn
perature has gone to 1913. s degrees, none
has ever been found which did not show
clear evidences of the disease ON dissec-
ton
In the larger number Of animals kill
ed tubercles have been found in the
lungs. In some there were none in the
lungs, but were in various glands of
the body, or sometimes in the intestinal
canal or in the uddcr. In one case in
Binghamton a COW had tubercle in her
udder which, on being taken out, weigh
ed Sc pounds.
1t seems TO me that the common sense
way of looking at this situation Is not
to berate the veterinarians as a set of
thieves, or to treat it as fad, or to try
TO belittle the danger, but to meet the
issue like sensible men. We know that
it exists. We know that 1t is contagious
We know that it is dangerous to human
life. We ought to know that the cheap
est way to eradicate it is to do it quick
ly We ought then to take every precau-
ton against its spread and to ask the
government TO treat it the same as it
did pleuropneuomnia and stampit out as
quickly and e1ectually as it did that

PLANS TO ARM AUXILIARY CRUISERS.

fLANS ~ AKIN Al AllslAk1 CRliSEh
Secretary Herbert will recommend In
his annual report to congress the manu-
facture OF several hundred guns Of the
smaller caliber to be used in arming aux
Hilary cruisers in the event of war. These
guns will be of the four and six inch type.
Vessels like the New York and Paris,
armed with six or eight guns Of this cali
Der, with a secondary battery Of gatling
and machine guns, would prove most
effective addition to the fighting force Of
the navy. In his report Secretary Her
bert will say that in case such vessels az
the New York should be called in TO serv-
ice IL would require many months to pro-
vide batteries for them, and for this rea-
son he recommends that a small appro-
priatlon for this purpose be made each
year until sufficient guns and mounts
have been provided TO arm at least thir-
ty-eght of the most suitable steamers OF
the Atlantic and at least eight of the
most suitable on the Pacific coast.

TO BUILD A GREAT UNIVERSITY.


Final arrangements are making for
the beginning OF the construction of the
great American university To be erected
under the supervision Of the Methodist
church in the northwest suburbs OF
Washington. The university will be
surrounded with ninety acres OF high and
beautiful ground, most of it given by the
Methodists Of Washington. The general
plan of the university provides for three
buildings for the use Of all departments.
They will probably be connected, though
IL has not yet been decided upon. The
structures will be OF blue stone or gran
tie. At some future time there will be
established in connection with the uni
versty school OF theology for the
higher education OF Methodists. 1t Is
intended that the whole project shall in

NAY REOPEN THE TARIFF QUESTION.


President Cleveland, IL is now said,
may bring up the tariff question again
by recommendation In his message that
the discriminating duty OF cent pound
upon all bounty paid sugars imported
into the United States shall be abolished.
That would necessitate the repeal OF the
discriminating clause in the sugar sched-
ule Of the new tariff law. II this Is done
II will be on account OF the retaliation
promised by Germany, which is largely
affected by the discriminating clause.
Complaints have already been received
through official channels that these dis
ordinations are not consistent with
treaty obligations, and while no retalia-
tion has been openly threatened. that
policy on the part Of Germany has clear
ly been inaugurated.
