CREAM FOR CHuRNlNo.
Each Dairyman Must Find Out the Best
Temperature for Himself.

9Sach Oaryman MUST E1nQ Out the Best
Temperature for Himself.
The warmer the cream is up to 20
degrees, the more quickly will it churn
and the softer will be the butter. The
lower the temperature at which butter
will come in from 40 to go minutes, the
firmer will the butter be. The right
temperature for churning each churner
must find out for himself. From Sc to
go degrees in summer will be a fair
range for most cream. The tempera-
ture of the churn and room has quite
marked influence on the time required
to churn. The warmer the room, other
things being equal, the more quickly
will the cream churn. The same as to
the temperature of the churn. To
churn at SO degrees, the churn must be
at about that temperature when the
cream is put in. In nearly every case
the temperature rises after churning
for some time, due to friction. The
larger the churn or the smaller the
amount of cream to be churned, the
more quickly will the churning be fin
ished. A box or barrel churn without
dashers of any kind ought not to be
filed much over one-third full. AS to
the ripeness of the cream, by raising
the temperature few degrees sweet
cream may be churned in about the
same time as ripe or sour cream. The
loss of butter will be considera BILE, as
sweet cream to be effectual1y churned
requires a temperature of from so to Sd
degrees and one to one and half
hours to churn. Cream from shippers
milk usually takes a longer time to
churn than that from fresh cows. It
will nav TO take little mora time aft
the churning and have it completely
churned and the butter firm and gran
ular when lifted from the churn.
Quick churning and soft butter nearly
always go together.-Farm and Home.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Senator Frye, of Maine, predicts
that republican rule would restore p1D-
fusion in the treasury. If it did it
would only be restoring what it squan-
dered from 1889 to 1893. = Albany
Argus.
Fire Alarm Foraker, OF Ohio, has
turned up the deuce for Mckinley,
they say. But Mr.. Mckinley can gen
orally be relied upon to turn up the
deuce for himself. = ST. Louis Re-
public.
The plain truth is that Mckinley
is not at home with facts and figures.
The trusts and corporations of the
country always prepared them for
him when he was a member of con-
gress.-Detroit Free Press
Gov. William Mckinley. inter
viewed in New York, says that he can
not explain the democratic gains in the
recent Ohio elections. But why should
anybody expect the governor to know
anything about what is going on in
Ohio?-Louisville Courier-Journal.

WAGES INCREASED.
Business Improving since the Adoption OF
the New Tariff Law.

the New Tariff Law.
Several increases of wages-some Of
them affecting large groups of employees
have been reported in the last few
days. The most important of these
advances are those which have been
made in the coke district of Western
Pennsylvania and in two prominent
wooden mills The list is as follows:
III c. Frfck & Co., the leading producers of
coke in the western Pennsylvania district
from which the iron manufacturers of the
Pittsburgh and eastern Ohio districts are
supplied; an increase of fifteen per cent; fol-
lowed by increase of sixteen per cent. for
the employees of Prick s Co s foremost COM
petitor. These changes practically cause a
affect the earnings OF thousands OF men en-
ployed there
Moses t. Stevens & Sons. manufacturers of
wOOlenS at three places In New Hampshire; an
increase of fifteen per cent, being restora-
tion of the rates paid before the reduction OF
last year. The output OF this firm is said to
be larger than that OF any other in the in
dustry.
Thomas Dolan & Co, manufacturers OF
woolens in Philadelphia; an increase of fifteen
per cent to weaverS. Mr.. Dolan is president
OF the thigh tariff Manufacturers club. 1t is
reported that other manufacturers OF woolens
in Philadelphia we're awaiting the action OF
Dolan s. Co, and viii now make similar in
creases in their mills.

Of ten per cent. being a restoration of the rate
paid before the reduction of ten per cent. one
year ago.
w bolfender. Shore & Co., mills at Carding-
ton, near Chester, Pa; increase of five per

ago It is expected that the other half viii
soon be restored.

crease announced recently. Between three and
four thousand persons are employed
1.-THE American Wool and Cotton Reporter
published a few days ago the following state
ment which had been made by the representa-
tive of one of the leading commission houses
of the reduction in wages during the last two
ty of making further advance OF ten per
given"
The tariff was revised seven months
ago. Our high-tariff friends have con-
tended that the reductions of wages
made in 1s94-the causes of which they
have industriously and persistently
represented-could not be followed
by increases so long as the new tariff
should stand. There has been no in
crease of tariff duties in the last two
months, or since August %. Still. there
are prominent manufacturers who vol
UNFAIRLY have increased wages in the
last few weeks, and it is quite proba BILE
that others will follow their example.

what Webb DonneI Thinks OF Country

The most enthusiastic lover of coun-
try life certainly has his enthusiasm
put TO severe test on the annual oc-
currence of that annual horror, spring

ing to that article as located in the
public highway, and stirred to its aw-
full depth by every passing hoof and

time" in New England is materially
worse than the same period in other
localities; in fact think it preferable
to the same reign of terror in some
other places, for we really can touch
bottom at some depth here in New Eng
land, which does not appear to be the
case in all parts of the country when
the frost is coming out of the ground.
In support of this, l recall the story

ANTITRUST Law A MocKERx.

s-ha Meat Combine stronger Than the Gov
ernment-Coacluslons of the Cabinet
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The interest
Secretary Morton has shown in the ad~
vance of meat prices is spreading TO
the other mem bers of the cabinet. Inc
president and Mr.. Morton have had
several conferences on the subject
Saturdays cabinet meeting was de-
voted almost wholly to it. Attor~
ney-General Olney expressed serious
doubts whether any case made
out under the antitrust law wouid
stand the tests of the courts. In this
opinion he was Joined by Secretary
Carlisle. Both these officials stated
that the law was so loosely drawn as
to be practically valueless for the pur-
poses intended. Postmaster-General
Wilson, who was member of the jul
dietary committee at the time the bill
was under discussion in the house.
stated that Judge Culberson then pro-
nounced it worthless, but that owing
to the ffSet that the session was about
to close, amendment was impossible.
Secretary Morton's Investigations
show the com bination which controls
the dressed beef trade of the country
practically fixes the price of cattle on
the hoof, as we'll as the price of dressed
meat sold to consumers through their
own agencies in large cities. They
also control to very great extent the
means of transportation through their
ownership of refrigerator cars,
in which carcasses are carried
from the slaughtering houses
to the markets. From the sta
tistics gathered by the secretary
of agriculture there is reason to be-
1ieve that gross discrimination is prac-
ticed by transportation companies
against small dealers and in favor of
localities and the large shippers. The
question was discussed at the cabinet
meeting whether proceedings to break
the combination should not properly
begin through the medium of the in
terstate commerce commission, in the
nature of suit for infractions of the
interstate commerce law.

on the farm with water. The top OF
the tub must be nearly as high as the
top of tbs spring. The water runs into
the tub from the spring as fast as it ia
taken out. The tub may be set in q
dry spot as far from the spring as il
desired, but it must be on level with
the spring. The most satisfactory
plan is to set the tub partly in the
ground and bank it up well around the
tub and over the pipe conducting water
from the spring. The spring should be
covered to preserve warmth in winter
and for GOODNESS during summer.-T.

M'KiNLEY GOING THE ROUNDS.
Chances OF the Ohioan for the Presiden-

Chances OF the Ohioan for the Presiden-
tiaI Nomination In 1896.
Gov. Mckinley, it is announced, will
extend his political circle-swinging
through the west clear to the Pacific
coast after he has finished at the south.
This is taken to mean that he did not
say at Townsville, as reported: IF
the republican party should declare
for free silver would decline to be-
come it's candidate and 1 would quit
the party forever If the governor
held this view he would not, it is said,
go delegate-hunting through the silver
section.
There was inherent improbab ility in
the report that credited such an utter
ance to Mckinley. He is not given to
positive utterances except on the
beauties of high tariff. On the cur
rency question he has always been a
''wabbler." with leaning towards
unsoundness. He voted for and lauded
upon the stump the Sherman silver
purchase act, the most disastrous cur
rency measure in its results that con-
gress has ever adopted.
Gov. McKinley's chances for the
presidential nomination were un-
doubtedly improved by the tidal-wave
success of his party in the elections of
last year. But he will not be norli-
mated unless the republicans see their
way clear to a hopeful campaign in
favor of ripping up the tariff and in
creasing the taxes. The chances are
that the operations of the new law
and the improved condition of manu-
features and business next year will
render this sort of campaign too
Quixotic for adoption. But to-day the
Ohio governor could probably COM
mand more votes in a convention than
any of his rivals.-N. Y. World.
