The Work of II Dairy school.

The instruction is given, first, by lee
lures; second, by work at the separa-
tors the churns and the cheese vats, as
well as in the laboratory. Lectures are
given in the following branches: The
breeds and breeding Of dairy cows. the
feeding of dairy cows, diseases of dairy
cows, the chemistry of milk and it's
products. bacteriOlOgy of the dairy
products, physical problems connected
with the dairy. and the care and man
agement of the boiler and engine.
These subjects are presented to the
class by different professors of the uni
ycrsity.
The practical work is taught in the
butter and cheese room, rs well rs in
the laboratory. The picture of the sep
aratinS room shows the arrangement of
the separatOrs. OF these all the latest
and most improved patterns are kept
as well as of the butter extractor. 1t
may be in order to state, for the bene-
fit of the many readers who never were
inside OF a creamery or farm dairy,
that Il cream separator or ccntrifuge,
as it is sometimes called, is Il machine
for separating the cream from the
skim milk by means of centrifugal
force. a strong steel bowl is made to
rotate by hand-power or steam, at
speed of five to eight thousand revolu-
tons per minute; by this means the
heavier portion of the milk, the skim
milk, is separated from the lighter por-
ton, the cream, and both are collected
in separate vessels.
The work In the creamery room in
cludes the handling and care of the
cream previous to churning, the churn-
ing, and the working and packing of
the butter. In the cheese room, where
there are eight milk watts, each OF
capacity Of 300 pounds, thirty-two stu
dents may work at the same time; the
various steps in cheese making, from
the proper handling of the milk to the
curing of the cheese, are here learned.

LIFE IN THE BAND OF THE

Cheering Up the Weary Marchers with
a Lively Tune-Heroism OF the Ladies'
of Gettysburg-General Grant aud the
Toll-Gate Keeper.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1894-07-05

During the battle of Chancellors-
vile we were playing one evening
near. fine old Virginia residence,
writes member of the cath Michigan
band, in the National Tribune. The
ladies came out to listen, and for their
benefit we played The Bonnie Blue
Flag" and "Dixie." They brought
lights to the door and waved their
handkerchiefs. We changed from
Dixie" to yankee Doodle" Imme-
diatcly the lights went out and the
doors were shut with slam.
At Frederick City, Md, some of our
young officers asked us to go with
them and serenade a family of fine
looking ladies' They came out and
responded by singing maryland, my
Maryland" They sang it with such
heartfelt pathos that we almost pitied
Maryland.
Frederick City seemed to me to
have one long narrow street; and, as
we marched out through the town,
our band played the entire length of
the street The tune we played was
darby tunes.
\ The colonel often called on the band
to play tune to cheer the boys on a
hard march; forgetting the band
might be tired as well as the rest.
We wished to evade carrying our
knapsacl1s; so we rolled up our blan-
lSets, made high roll on top, and. as
ch +
made it impossible to play on the
march. The next time the colonel
said Music" we showed him how i'm
possible it was. He took in the stu
ntion at a glance, and turning to the
quartermaster said:
''See that this band have their KNAPP
sacks packed in one of the wagons
after this; the boys must have music!'
After that we had no excuse, but
had to ''come down with the music"
We had our good and bad days. Fun
and hunger was the makeup of days
and nights, weeks ana months.
Bert Sons was the life and clown of
the band and camp. One day while
he was passing through camp some
one called out:
Say Bert, what's the matter with
your pants?" (He had boiled them to
kill ants or some other kind of in
sects, and they had shrunlS half way
to his knees.)
Bert stopped looked down, and
said: ''Damfino. I've cut them off
twice, and they're too short YETI

heard Wilcox say:
''There, I've fianked you this time"'
'What have you DONE" said l.
'I've flanked those lice"
swell, howe"
Eve pulled off my pants and
thrown them out doors"
Well, that might be called cruelty
to animals; but sometimes patience
ceases to be a virtue, and soldier be-
comes hard-hearted.
AS the old First corps was the first
at the battle of Gettysburg, except
theS cavalry, Captain Wood came
rushing back and gave our colonel the
order to get ready for fight. The
cSfonel then turaed to us and said:
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1894-07-05
Boys. fill out, and give us Yankee

Boys. fill out, and give us Yankee
Doodle"
Our regiment was into the racket
before the tune was finished. The
head doctor came up and said:
''The stretcher corps is six miles in
the rear, and you will have to go in
and help carry the wounded"
Now things began to look "dusty"
for the band; but we went to work,
thinking, as the boys often said on the
march: :'Left, left; had good home
when / left"
A. l.. Congdon, my chum, and

went into the fray. The first man we
came to was big man shot through

we came into town we were met by
women and children, with tea, coffee,
bread and butter, and all the good
things needful for hungry soldier.

How Mcnhnden OIL and Guano Are
Made.

The process of extracting oil from the
menhaden is very simple. When the
fish is delivered at the factory ii is
Immediately placed in large iron tanks,
Heat is then applied until the mass
begins to simmer, when the heat is
turned off. In this way the fish is more
thoroughly steamed, and the oil cells
are more or less separated from the
flesh. Often, when the fish is rich in
oil, considerable quantity eXudes dur
ing the steaming process. This Is
drawn off from the top of the simmer
ing mass and runs in troughs to the
oil tank
After the steaming the fish is placed
in "curbs," circular vessels having per-
fOrated bottoms, and rolled to the Oil
presses. Here the oil is released by
hydraulic pressure, and the remainder
is simply the heterogeneous part Of the
fish, which is called scrap"
The preparation of the scrap, or fish
guano, is very simple. After the oil is
released, the solid matter is taken to
the drying boards-a large field covered
with closely fitting tOngued and groov-
ed flooring--upon which it is spread to
dry. From first to last the greatest
care is taken that no foreign substance
shall become mixed with it. When
it is sufficiently dry it is bagged for
transportation. either to the manufac-
t,lrer OF artificial fertilizers or direct
to the farmer.

Made Grant Pay Toll.


A new story of General Grant was
told the Pittsburg Dispatch the other
day by a resident of Washington
county, Pa: I'll never forget how
old Bile Oliver, who kept the toll-gate
at Washington, on the old Wheeling
pike, held up General Grant for TOLL"
he said "Bije was annoyed great
deal by the college boys who drove
over the pike.
t'They worked on his credulity,
promising to pay toll on their way
back. Many a nickel had been lost to
the old toll keeper, for he was a
kind-hearted fellow, and often in the
face of better judgment RENTED the
toll until they returned. But the
boys like that letter, never came; they
took another route home, thus elud-
ing old Bile. Upon one of Grants
visits to Washington, during his adj
ministration, a young Mr.. Smith, who
was then in college, took him out one
day for a drive.
''As they came near the tollgate on
the Wheeling pike old Bile caught
sight of them. He went out of his
house, took hold of the rope and
pulled the pole down, obstructing the
road. Smith greeted Bile in a
familiar way and said: "Look here,
Bile, we want to go on. You see I've
General Grant with me here
Bile looked up with sardonic
smile. He had just begun to see
through the tricks of the college boys,
and was not going to allow himself
to be gulled any longer.
$50 he replied: I don't give darn
if you have General Grant with you;
you'll have to pay toll or you can't get
along here Then he added, in a
most sarcastic way, with leer: Gen.
Grant! You must take me for a fool
Really persisted young Smith,
this is Gen. Grant
'But Bile got angry at his apparent
impudence and said angrily. Grant
or no. Grant, you pay toll See
ing that he was adamant, Gen.
Grant put his hand down into his
pocket, and, after tossing him a coin,
drove on, laughing at the incident.
He often related the incident after
ward, and it seemed to amuse him
greatly"

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind Nov 18.-Dubois
and Sullivan counties have sent in
their official returns to the secretary
of state, completing the list of coun-
ties to report. The returns have all
been tabulated, but on account of the
clamorons demand of the newly-elected
county officials for their certificates
the official footings of the returns have
not as yet been made.
The completed officials returns, how
ever, show that Mr.. Owen is elected
by plurality of 1885, or majority
over all candidates of 1884
The total vote on the head of the
ticket is as follows: Myers, 239, 40s;
Owen 2s4, ,243; Taylor pro.), 11,021;
Robinson (pop.) 29,9s7.
Mr.. Myers and Mr. Owen both lead
their tickets by nearly 1900 in the
state. This is largely due to the igno-
rance of the voters, who stamped the
name of the head of the ticket, think
ing it voted the whole ticket. The
loss of both parties in this way was
about the same
