sylvan Steel Company Raise.

The Sylvan Steel company is fol.
lowing the example of other firms in
that line Of business by granting an
increase in the wages of the em.
ployes. Unfortunately, SO far. the
increase has not been general. but
has been confined to the furnace men
only. These men, who undergo a
sample Of the torture of hades each
day they work, have had their wages
raised twice during the present
month. The work at the heating
furnaces is the hottest in the mill,
and though the men are now paid
from $S to $6 per day, according to
the positions they occupy. it is not
too much. The Sylvan company
has heretofore run its mill on the
pay-by-the-day plan. but when the
new machinery now being put in
gets in working order, the prospects
are that it will be run as q ..ton
mill" when a,l the men will work by
the piece, under the scale of the
Amalgamated Steel Workers asso-
citation. Those men engaged in put
ting the various sizes OF scrap iron
into shape for heating are already
working under the scale, receiving
so cents per ton.

full reference to Spencer Square:
1--WE stopped at Rock Island, and
while our baggage was being cared
for we could not help but wonder
whether the town was named for
the railroad or vice versa. AS our
time was limited we did not stop to
investigate. although the ticket
agent looked at US as if he expected
a perfect volley of unanswerable
questions. 1t was cruel to disap-
point him, but unfortunately our
interest extended in another direc-
tion. In this beautiful city there is
no art society, but we found some
thing akin to it, and that is an art
sentiment, which has found express
sion in the decorating of the pu bic
parks. These bright jewels had been
donated to the city many years ago.
but no interest was taken in them,
and they were allowed to remain as
unsightly repositories for tin cans
and other refuse until Lawyer
Jackson became interested, and he
soon made them into natural pic

1T INITIATES ITSELF,
a New Arrangement of Interest to Cy-
cllsts

a New Arrangement Of Interest to Cy-
clists.
There has been Just one thing nee.
essary to make the lives of cyclists
happy, and that is q self-infiating
pneumatic tire, and enthusiastic
wheelmen have been pounding their
heads for q year or more trying to
invent something of the sort, but
couldn't do it. A Burlington boy
seems to have more success.
Ernest Starbuck, who recently
lived in Burlington, and now makes
Lincoln, ILL.,. his home, has applied
for a patent on . mechanical con-
struction OF his own invention, which
bids fair to solve the problem. 1t is
an automatic pump for pneumatic
tires Of bicycles. The patent con-
sists of rubber ball placed within
the tire, with q check valve inside
and also one on the outside. The
ball is held in place by small wire
coils. When the tire is soft the
pressure on the ball when you ride
the wheel forces the air in the tire,
and when so full. it will stop. Bi.
cycle men have examined the scheme
and pronounce it success. 1t does
away with pumps. and when a pune
ture occurs you have q constant in
lection OF air into tho tire as you
ride.
The Application Of the Advantage.
The old adage. "a rolling stone
gathers no moss" may still remain
true, but it seems that by virtue Of
Ernest Starbuck's invention, a roll
ing wheel may gather wind. II all
that is claimed for this simple little
device is true, the inventor has q
very good thing. and bicycle makers
will make him a good offer.

Salt in the Dairy.

1. Salt. like acidity and charity, GOV.
crs a multitude of sins.
3. To the majority of consumers q
small amount of salt will increase fine
flavofs in butter, while large amount
of salt may partially hide poor flavor
8. Salt is thus partly flavoring and
partly a preservative.
4. No amount of salt will preserve
poor butter. but good salt will help te
preserve good butter.
s. Salt should be applied with rea-
sonable addition of brains.
g. If working only once, use an east.
ly-dissolved salt, or else partially dis.
solve it before using. The latter is moi
good plan. as it is difficult to dis
tribute such a pasty mess.
Z. The amount of moisture left ir
the butter when the salt is added
should be regulated according to tbs
dissolubility of the salt.
B. When salt is applied to drained
butter and left to dissolve at the prop
err temperature about sixty degrees
it will absorb moisture from the but
ter glcbules in dissolving, and this il
qnite an important matter.
=. Heavy brine, when applied only
once in brine sailing, will be diluted
in proportion to the water left from
washing, and hence be apt to leave tn,
butter too light sailed for the averag,
consumer.
10. 1t is more difficult to salt evenly
will, brine than with dry salt
IL. First and last and all things, ge
a good dairy salt which has not beer
exposed to bad odors.
IL. Do not believe that you can fol
low any fixed rules, but consider tn,
dissolubility of your salt, the amount
of moisture and the temperature il
your butter. and use judgment in salt
| ing as in all other work.-National
Dairyman.
