SAN Francisco, April. 3.-The
children thought that Saturday
March 31st, WIS 30 grand that it
could not be excelled: 1t was Chron-
icle's day and all children within
radins OF fifty miles around were in
vited. not one omitted and all free
from charge, even the railroad fare
from interior towns. Judging from
the packed cars as early as seven
o'clock in the morning, the children
must have been up before the sun.
The crowd and the crush was 40
great, that the two principal car
lines had break down causing con-
siderable delay. At twelve o'clock
55, $50 people had entered the gates.
A great many mon and women who
will never again see their thirtieth
birthday passed as school children.
Young ladies that would be insulted
il they were termed children were
ouIy too glad to grasp ticket. Quite
a number Of men protested that they
were unfairly treated when the
guards refused them admission on a
juvenile coupon. ! noticed one man
in particular, who was about six feet
high and had a growth of whiskers
that took him at least ten years to
cultivate.
A special programme was prepared
for the children, something that
would attract their attention and
amuse them. The bands played
childish and popular airs. A parade
was formed by the concessionaires,
and athletic exercises and perform
ances took place on the recreation
grounds.
The only concessions that did q
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1894-04-05

thriving business were those that
sold articles that did not exceed the
sum OF five cents.
The principal feature Of the morn
ing was the parade around tho grand
court, tho people stood at least elk
rows deep Che sphinx on each side
OF the entrance to the fine Arts
building made ans excellent perch Tor
small boys, and any projections Of
any kind that afforded foothold
were sure to have as many feet as
could be crowded upon them.
Nearly all the coun ties gave away
fruit especially the Southern Cali
fornia building, IN front of which,
there was actually a carpet OF orange
peels that were dropped by the chill
dren.
There was one class OF people that
were not as boisy as the American
boys although hLvirg as much fun
and joy In their own quiet way, these
were Chinese. They were gorgeo u.s.
ly attired in their many colored gar
ments, which made them as it always
does, very conspicuous.
There is one man who did not fec
very happy that day and one that
will remember it at least a few days
to come. He it is that 10 supposed
to keep the roads in a nest and clean
condition. / think by the time he
has gathered in the orange peels and
picked up the peanut shells, he will
be willing t" bet that the number OF
children amounted to about one mil
lion.
ALI day long the children fingered
about the All. gorlcal fountain watch
ing the water pass over the rocks and
spouting high in the air. EPrly in
the morning before the fountain " as
in operation some lively boys thought
it great sport to use the large basin
around it for a race track, 1T is lucky
for them that the engineer did no,
see fit to turn on the water at that
time.
There is a building in the Fair
grounds for the purpose of storing
away lost youngsters. 1t was very
comical although not happy sight to
stand by and watch the proceedings.
Every little while small child would
be brought in by a burly policeman
and registered. On an average CT
every half a minute, some anxious
parent would rush in only to be told
to call later ON, as the child had not
yet made it's appearance.
There were very few accidents and
those very slight. Taking all in all
the day was most enjoyable, judging
from u remark made by one little
chap, "golly, but I had bully fun
9o,097 people passed the gates or
that day.

HOW Pure MIX Is Obtained.

At a famous dairy in Berlin the milk
is strained through wire sleeves covered
with cloth over which fine gravel is
sprinkled. After the milk is strained
the gravel is put in a hot oven that
any germ that may possibly have been
strained from the milk may be de-
stroyed. The gravel is thus used Tor
tiltering the milk any number of times.
For the butter made at this dairy both
sweet and sour cream is used, that
made from sweet cream commanding
the higher price. After the compart-
ments containing a particular kind of
milk are filled the wagon is locked,
and the milkman who delivers it has
access to the supply only through the
faucets on the side of the wagon.

COOLING BOX FOR BUTTER.

down into the bottom of the box. To
facilitate the cooling the butter is
rolled into an arch, as shown in the
cut. In large diaries these boxes are
large enough to admit OF placing two
or three layers of butter to cool at
once.
Every dairy is supplied with several
scales of varying sizes. The decimal
weight is used everywhere. Instead
of moving the weight along on the
lever arm, as we usually do, there are
two pla tforms, one on which to place
the object to be weighed and on the
other the weights of different sizes.
In many diaries they use weight on
the receiving platform for the milk,
which has Il basin holding from 80 TO
rs gallons. The milk is poured into
this, and when a certain weight is
reached it is checked off and the basin
is tipped so that it empties its contents
into the large milk vat.
Many styles of buckets and milk
cans are used. They are generally
made of heavy tin and they are not
infrequently enormous in size. The
cans in which the milk is transported
are of two general forms, square and
round, and the mouth is so large that
it admits a hand and arm readily.
Frequently the weight of the can is
stamped upon it, or it is stamped upon
a brass plate and soldered to the can,
thus obviating the weighing of the can.

BLACK AND TAN.
Reasons for the Peculiar Color of Certain
Dogs.

Dogs.
When in Melbourne last wear. | went
carefully over all the dogs in a show
with one of the stewards, and we found
the spots in all the blach-and-tan ter
riers. foXhounds. deerhounds, collies,
iurchers, etc; but | could get no infor-
nation regarding them from the ex-
perts.
In some of the highly-bred toy dogs,
as the small black-and-tan terriers, [
found on inquiry that these spots, for
merly so very conspicuous, were being
bred out, and had nearly disappeared
Their persistence through SO many
sttrongly-markad varieties, except those
of late date, is singular, for there is
fairly good proof that when first do
mesticated the dog WIS red or bright
brown, like the pariah, dingo, etc.
As far as | can see, we do not find
the spots white on a black or dark
ground; nor yet black or dark on a
white or light ground My cxplana-
ton is that they have arisen as a
permanent marking after the dogs
'sported" to black under domestica-
ton, and have been preserved and
developed through natural selection.
Possibly they are protective, and simu-
late eyes
One morning in Asam, just at dawn,
had occasion to go out into the gar
den, and while STOPPING to examine
some flowers, near fence partly COW
cred with creepers, | suddenly saw an
animals head looking through, and
what seemed to be two black and seem
ingly large eyes glared at me. Sus-
pecting t hat a black leopard was about
to spring over, | started back, clapped
my hands, and Sh outed. To my relief,
however, | saw tail wag, and found
that the spectator was a coolies dog !
knew very well. and which recognized
me. The use of the tan spots-in this
case at least-then occurred to me.
May it not be that the spots thus serve
a protective purpose, and have often
saved the lives OF dogs (black dogs
from their enemies, the smaller fclines,
such as the cloudcd leopard etc? Per-
haps the matter is not new; but if it is,
it seems worth looking into. / have
several dogs with black bodies and
heads; the tan spots, rather pale, are OF
the size of shilling. | have shot one,
keeping the skin of the head as a curl.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse power engine is made
to do ten horse powcr work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will "bolt " his food i'll few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful i'll the
stomach as a key of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tenlpts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense i'll the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
lie takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The pellets" are tiny
sugar coated pills made of highly concern
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed OH tho food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi-
gcstion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
Of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach you can cn1e
yourself with Dr.. Picrcc's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store i'll the country.

SODS IN THE ROAD.
An Ohio Man Utters Protest in Which
Every body Can Join.

Every body Can Join.
An indignant subscriber from Wyo-
ming, O., writes as follows: "Our road
masters scrape all the Jumps and sods
and grass that they can get at and
pile them along the center of the road
for people to wear down. Such roads
| can show you for miles and miles in
Fulton county. This is a bore on the
citizens On the sides you will have
to watch or you will upset into the
ditch, and in the center horse can
not get along. If you have your Ia
dies with you, you do not hear very
pleasant remarks from them on the
road question. We want good roads
to-day, and we do not want to wear
down the scrapers full all summer and
all winter and all next year, so that
we can get passway over the center"
This mans head is level if his coun-
ty roads are not. He sends rough
sketch to illustrate the matter; see
Fig. 1. d, d, represents the bitches,
w. w, the wagon roads and S the
'sods, Jumps and wild tansy in the
middle" l have noticed the same
thing everywhere. 1t is true for long
distances on both roads from my home
to Cleveland. The grass and weeds
grow all summer long along the
center, and the wagons must go
on sharp incline much of the way,

full of flour; beard the oysters, season
with salt and pepper; dip them in this

simmer until it thicllens and the flour
is cooked; put in the oysters until
thoroughly hot, but do not boil, and
pour over slices of toasted French or

-Sweetbreads.- Sweetbreadsr require
to be very carefully prepared before
being cooked in any way. First soak
them in lulteWarm water to which a
teaspoonful of vinegar has been added,
changing the water two or three times,
for an hour and a half. Then throw
the sweetbreads into boiling water, and
gently simmer for about seven minutes.
After this cooking the flesh should be
firm and round, but not hard. Then
throw them into cold water for a quar-
ter of an hour, wipe dry, and set aside
till perfectly cold. After having been
treated thus. sweetbreads may be cooked
in a variety of ways for an invalid, as
crR into slices and warmed in a we'll
favored white sauce. Another way is
after cutting into slices to lightly fry
the sweetbread, and then stew it very
slowly in a thick brown gravy.-Leeds

Never Eails of a Market.

Dairying is the grandest help-out
the farmer has to-day. There is not,
in my opinion, the slightest reason for
fearing that tirst-class butter, prop
erly marketed, will ever fail to be
profitable to the maker There is too
much poor butter manufacture ed for
that. Let those who wish to profit by
it make only strictly high-grade
article, aud the price is all right for
all they have to sell Some localities
may make one way of selling hest, and
some another Each individual but
ter maker must study the situation for
himself. l am speaking of home but.
ter-making, not to creamery butter
makers l believe the place to make
the butter is at home on the farm.
Not that l would do away with the
creameries, but for clear profit the
home dairy will come out ahead if
properly managed. The work, of
course, is also greater than where the
milk or cream is sent to the creamery.

Concerning the Nightcap.

The nightcaps almost universally
worn some twenty-five years ago are
now quite as universally discarded.
There is a diversity of opinion in re-
gard to the wisdom of this change.
While some doctors assert that there is
much less badness since they were
abandoned, others declare, with equal
fervor, that neuralgia and catarrh are
much more common since the nightcap
was banished from the wardrobe

BIG BUTTER YIELD.
Remarkable Results Obtained by Com
necticut Dairyman.

Remarkable Results Obtained by a Com
necticut Dairyman.
Examples of very successful feeding
of cows are becoming common, show
ing that dairymen are advancing with
great rapidity in the art of dairying.
From the Homestead we select an eX-
ample that may serve to inspire some
one to better effort:
"A yield of 1862 pounds of butter per
COW in herd of 20 is the yearly prod
uct obtained by n. d. Potter, a pro-
gressive dairyman of South Coventry,
Conn. Here is his system and its results:
If results are a criterion, the system
appears to be good one. The cows
are ii5ari; all grade Jerseys II of the
20 being dehOrned. They are kept in
milk from 1917 to II months, being
bred as soon as possible after calying.
The plan is to feed the cows all they
will eat and to feed frequently in or
der that they will clean up each ra-
ton. The grain used is mixture
made up of 100 pounds gluten meal,
eco pounds fine feed or middlings, and
200 pounds provender. The cows are
fed at Il. m. with 81 to pounds
grain, this being the time of the morn
ing milking, and at 6 a. m % to 25
pounds corn silaTe. The stables are
cleaned at $50 and the cows let ont
into yard and watered with warm
water. AS soon as this is done they
are fed from to 5 pounds of good hay.
At - m, the remnants and enough
good hay to make about 213 pounds
per COW are cut up, tablespoonful of
salt and from to 80 pounds grain
added for each COW, which is mixed up
with warm water.

From Prof. Georgeson's recent report
on the dairy industry of Denmark we
reproduce an illustration of a cooling
box for butter Prof. Georgeson says:
Butter coolers are found in every
dairy. The cooler is simple box
made either of wood or in some cases
of zinc, in which the butter is kept to
cool after it is removed from the but
ter worker, and it remains there until
it is time to give it the next working.
The box is provided with one or more
cleats on which the butter is put. In
the illustration represents the cleat,

is covered with a lid on which is put

small damage and annoyance con-

horse road-scrapers are used they pile
the sods, etc, along the center of the

in my opinion be put there, and if
Jumps are put there they should be
well narrowed and rolled until they
make u fine, smooth surface which
will pack down even. Ii turf from
