Creamery VS.. Separator.


COWS they may safely expect to save the
price of one Of their machines in few
months.
Now, the saying that circumstances
alter cases" is never more truly appli
cable than with creamery. While its
warmest advocates do not claim that ali
the cream can be secured by it's use un.
der all circumstances, they do claim and
are prepared to prove the statement that
with proper conditions it will eclaim as
great proportion of butter fat from the
milk as the separator.
The first and most important con.
dition is that plenty of ice be supplied.
All other conditions are of minor i'm
portance. Even the one which some
times causes trouble-cows long in lac
tation-may easily be avoided by having
the COWS calve at different times through
out the year. This IS the best way to
do any way, as it not only does away
with all trouble with the cream rising
but also relieves the difficulty in churn
ing when the butter refuses to "come :"
When the COWS are all long in lactation
a quantity of warm water added to the
milk at time of str aiming into the cans
will so dilute the milk that the cream
will rise much more easily and per-
fectly
WhileyOur correspondent has no in
tention Of running down. the separator,
as an agent for Dreaming milk, it is not
considered exactly fair to these pioneer
labor savers, the cabinet or portable
creameries, to let such statements as the
one above noted pass unanswered.
A few years ago the writer had De
Laval Baby separator for trial. We al
ready had creamery and felt convinced
that we were getting all the cream as
we had ice in plenty and new milch
COWS in the same ratio. However to
satisfy the agent, we consented to let
him set up the machine. We were at
the time making pound Of butter from
30 pounds of milk. The first trial with
the separator resulted in pound of
butter from % pounds of milk, but as
the cream from the separator got quite
sour before churning lowing to inexperi-
ence in ripening separator creamy an
other trial was made resulting little
better-but still not so we'll as the
creamer. When the following churning
from the creamery showed us pound
of butter from 90 pounds of milk again
we were convinced that it was good
enough for us, and still think so.
We have used Babcock test on our
creamery skim milk and found no more
trace of butter fat than is admitted by
separator men to be inevitable with any
system. The lose of cream ia using a
creamery is not of sufficient importance
for serious consideration with us, and
we certainly would not hesitate to adopt
the new plan of screaming if we con-
sidered it best as we make several tons
of butter each year, and milk several
times the five cows said to make the
purchase of one money saving invest
ment. The loss of butter fat comes in
in churnlng. There is the leak in any
dairy. With the appliances at hand il
is largely matter of guess work as tC

THE sHREwD SULTAN.
Has a Literary Bureau to Bolster His Gov
ernment.

Has q Literary bureau TO BOLSTER his NfOV-
ernment.
The Turkish is probably the only gov
ernment that maintains literary bureau
for tho purpose of creating public opinion
in its favor. The Russians have bureau
of censorship, with agents in every post
office of tho empire, whose duty is to pre-
vent the circulation of seditious literature
and the introduction among the people of
radical ideas contrary to the teachings Of
the church and the policy of the czar
But the Turkish have regular and per-
manent organization Of 80 of the brightest
literary men and politicians in the sultan's
dominions, who are always at work Great
ing sentiment in his favor abroad and at
home and they are very thorough They
not only keep the local press straight on
matters of public policy, but confound the
enemies of the throne with articles skill
fully prepared and furnished to such pa
pers as will print them. They read all the
Influential foreign papers, too, both of
Europe and America, and If any contain
articles that are likely to injure the repu-
tation of the sultan or the credit of the
government, or prejudice people against
the country, some one is employed to an
swer them or to write in a different vein
on the same subject, and in such way as
to correct any false or unfavorable impress
sion that may have been created.
The bureau has its agents in all the
commercial centers of Europe, who have
access to the columns of the leading peri
odicals and are always ready to put in a
little missionary work. Not long ago an
article was printed in a Washington paper
rejecting upon the treatment of the Ar
menians by the Turkish government. In
a few weeks a very clever reply appeared
in che same paper. 1t was temperate, dip
lomatic, interesting and convincing and
was prepared by some one perfectly ia
miliar with the subject - Minneapolis

THE wARsLv YANk,s SANDWICH.
Two Beers Went with 1t. and the Check
Amazed Him.

Amazed Him.
At much frequented up town cafe the
customer is handed a round cream colored
cardboard check when he buys any of the
goods they sell there, with the amount of
money his purchase calls for specified in
figures on the check. On the lunch coun-
ter of the cafe there is always q dish of
round crackers of a special brand. Each
cracker bears on one side the figures 80
This inscription is the bakers oabalistic
trademark. No one knows what it means
nor does it matter. There are always cold
ham and other things on the lunch coun-
ter. A favorite bite with the frequenters
of this cafe is bit of ham sandwiched be-
tween a couple Of the round crackers. A
great many people go to the place to cat
these little sandwiches, as they are very
good and have a reputation.
The other afternoon a youth with foot
ball hair and silk hat well on the back
of it, drowsy leor in his eye and uncor-
tainty in his gait, came into the cafe. He
made his way unsteadily 10 the barr
"Beer!' said he to the bartender.
The bartender drew him a glass of beer.
The groggy youth drank it without a
pause for breath. 1t was plain that be
was thirsty.

The bartender drew another glass and
threw two 10 cent checks on the counter,
The youth picked up the checks, returned
to the lunch counter, fumbled around in
the crackers, and after a desperate effort
fabricated a sandwich He was a long
time chewing at it, and having finished it
remarked with inebriated contempt:

Disgusted he wabbled over to the cash
ier's desk. He looked at his two checks,
and the look of disgust on his face gradu-

Anoient nTedica1 Proverbs.

The Yorkshire folk have a proverbial
observation to this effect, Quickly TODD
and quickly go, quickly will thy mother
have moe" and this has given rise to a lot
of learned discussion, for there seems TO
be doubt as to whether "too'd" means
"toothed" or to God the former being
the Interpretation commonly accepted.
Others insist that the early breeding Of
teeth is sign of a short life' in spite Of
the notorious instances to the contrary in
the cases of Marcus GURUS Dentatus,
Cneius Papyrius Carlo and Richard III.
Another proverbial observation has it
that "they would be young when they are
old must be old when they are young A
theory highly disapproved of by physicians
of the present time Is that "children and
chickens must always be picking" by
which is meant that both must eat often
and but little at a time.
Since we have mentioned the physicians,
there are ancient proverbs relating TO
health:
Quickly TODD and quickly go,
Quickly win thy mother have moe
Wash your hands often, your feet seldom
and your head never,
The best hysicians are DR.. Dlet' IL
! Quiet and DR.. Merryman
Never touch your eye but with your ei

big STEAMER WRECKED.
Went Dow in Elf 7 Fo't Of Water
on t1o Ohio River.
REPORTS o. FATALITIES OoEPLIOF,

Rescued Passengers Believe That Fully
Thirty five Lives Were Lost, but Dis
patches to the Ohicials of the Company
Declare That All Hands Were Rescued.
OwENsBoRo, KY, Jan. 21.-The big New
Orleans packet, the State of Missouri,
struck q rock on the Indiana side of the
Ohio river, near Alton, Ind, Saturday
night and went down in fifty feet of water.
She gave heavy lurch forward and sank
rapidly. -Four of the passengers were
picked up near the Kentucky shore and
brought here by the steamer City of
Owensboro. They swan for life on planks,
and reached the Willows. One reached
the shore and the others remained in a
tree many hours until rescued. They were
w. @. Leathers, from Hopkins county,
KY, and man named Gregory, of Cave
In Rock, Ills. The names Of the other two
could not be learned
These passengers report that the boat
struck a rock near the stern and gave a
sudden lurch forward. A yawl was
launched, but so many crowded into 1t
that it was soon sunk. AS the boat lurched
again second yawl was put off from the
sinking boat, in which four women and
some of the cabin passengers managed to
get places Leathers never swan before,
but was able to keep afoat until he
reached the Willows. He saw four men
drowned near him, but was powerless to
act. One chambermaid was picked up by
boat from a farm house near by, and
several were picked up further on and
taken to Louisville by the steamer Tell
City.
One yawl that was upset by the frantic
passengers was full of women and chill
dren, and all are thought to be lost There
were fifteen cabin and thirty deck passen-
gers and a crew of sixty on board. The
surviving passengers think that at least
thirty five were lost.
The cabin and upper works Of the boat
fioated away. The City of Owensboror es-
cued part Of the freight from the cabin
deck. In less than ten minutes from the
time the boat struck she had gone down.
AT Rockport and here, as well as at all
intermediate points, the bank is lined with
skiffs picking up pieces of furniture and
watching for dead bodies, but the current
is too swift for small craft to get far from
shore.
CINCINNATI, Jan. .21.-Commodore Laid
ley and Captain Wise, of the Cincinnati,
Memphis and New Orleans Packet COM
pany, that owned the State Of Missouri,
insist that they have reports from their
officers on the wrecked steamer stating
that the boat and entire cargo are total
loss, but they do not believe any passen-
gers were lost. 1t is impossible to get
track of all who reached either bank OF
the river but they report that the officers
are of the opinion that all the passengers
will be accounted for. One of the pilots
telegraphed his family here that they had
hard time getting ashore, but that no
| lives were lost.
Still later dispatches say that none OF
the passengers were drowned, but that at
least ten of the crew were lost.

QUEER THINGS IN POLAND.
Superstition Plays Leading Role With
Young Men and Maidens.

Superstition Plays a Leading Role with
Young Men and Maidens.
1t is customary in Polish vii ages to
strew straw over the Christmas eve sup
per tables, and for the young people,
blindfolded or In the dark, to pick out
each a straw therefrom. Should the straw
be green the lucky maiden expects to wear
a bridal wreath or the youth to lead a
blushing bride to the altar during the ap-
preaching year, but dried straw foretells
to either long waiting, possibly even until
death.
In other rural Polish districts on the
"Christ's eve" wine, beer and water are
placed by girl between two candles on a
table. She then retires into corner or
an adjoining room to watch the result re-
hected in mirror hung for this purpose
If as the clock strikes midnight man
enters and drinks the wine she is happy,
for her wooer will be rich Should he
drink the beer, she may be content, for
the wooer will be well to do. If the water
be chosen, her husband will be very poor.
But if as the clock strikes no man comes
to her table the anxious maiden shiyers
with more than midnight terror, believing
that she is doomed to be early the bride OF
death.
Poland IS peculiarly rlCn III OnSso W
servances, spreading themselves through
out the year, both sexes being equally
superstitious in this respect. On New
Years eve the young unmarried men place
themselves before fire, and bending down
look beneath their legs. Should a woman
appear in the background it is the ont
they will marry, but if they see a shape as
of a coffin it forebodes for them deatl
during the year close at hand.-Philadel
