If Jupiter Pluvius continues to

Mr.. Ogden states that he gave

The folly Of beginning the sew

dullest mind. Had the work been
commenced at the outlet and con-

systematic manner each section or

the sewers could have been utilized
as the work progressed. As it is,
the entire system will have to be
completed before a foot of it can
be used.
Alderman Hoefling exclaimed at
the council meeting that less than
100000 remains of the proceeds of
the sale Of the original 100000 in
sewer bonds. The cost of building
the outlet to the system has not
yet been provided for. A conserv-
alive estimate places the cost Of
the outlets at $l50,009. AS the en-
cheering department of the work,
including fees and perquisites,
filches some 800 to $1,000 every
month from the sewer fund, it is
plain to be seen that further issue

FORT WORTH REPUBLICANS.
Adopt Resolutions Calling On the State
Executive Committee to Do Something.

ADOPT RESOLUTIONS FALLING On the State
Executive Committee to Do Something.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. g.
Addressed to the members of
the State Executive committee:
Whereas the primaries and con-
ventions lately held by the So
called regular wing of the party in
Texas have in very many cases
served to emphasize the necessity
of reforming the party organiza-
tion with the view to uniting all
loyal republicans in one strong re-
publican party; and
Whereas, it is evident from re-
cent expression Of party leaders in
the north that the republicans of
the nation will look with favor
on any fair plan that promises to
make the party in the
south strong and clean and
Whereas, we believe that the
masses of intelligent and earnest
republicans OF Texas would be
glad to join in any we'll directed
and energetic movement to that
end, therefore
Resolved, by the republican ex-
ecutive committee of Tarrant
county, that we call upon the state
executive committee to meet at
once and take the necessary steps
for carrying on a vigorous and
active campaign for the purpose of
having the real and true republic
cans of Texas properly represented
at st. Louis. 1t is time to abandon
all child's play and to have some.
thing more than a mere skeleton
Of an organization. There must be
an organization in every congress
sional district and no more time
should be lost in perfecting it.
Resolved further, that the state
executive committee is bound, both
in duty and in honor, to meet at
once and arrange for prompt and
vigorous work and that they will
not allow any considerations to in.
terfere with or delay their work,
because the matters with which
they have been interested are of the
highest Importance to the party in
Texas. Unless we show by vigor-
Gus action that we mean business
and are prepared to do business we
cannot expect support in Texas or
recognition at st. Louis.
Resolved, that we pledge the
state committee our earnest COOP
Grafton.
Resolved further. that a COM
mittee Of three be appointed to
send copy Of these resolutions to
each member of the state commit.
tee, and that they be authorized to
sign the names of all present, and
to give the members of the COM
mittee full understanding of the
views and wishes Of the republic
cans of this county whom we repre-
sent.

ABOUT FARM DAlRYINe.
What Prof. Wing, of Cornell University,
Thinks of 1t.

What Prof. Wing, of Cornell University,
Thinks of 1t.
Many think that the creamery but
ter is better than can be made on the
farm.
Now, this is entirely erroneous. Not
only is it perfectly possible to make as
good butter on tie farm as can be made,
but is matter of no great difficulty
and does not require an expensive or
elaborate equipment The principles
that govern the manufacture of good
butter are the same in either case;
their observance will result in good but
ter on the farm just as surely as their
neglect will result in bad butter in the
factory. That this is SO is seen in the
fact that numerous private dairymen,
having recognized these principles, are
getting more for their butter made up
in small way in private dairy than
is given for the very best grades of
creamery butter. Indeed, from the fact
that the private dairymen can control
the cows, their feed and care, and the
milk from the time it leaves the COW
until the finished product goes on the
market, he should be able 10 make a
finer and more uniform product than
the factory man, who cannot control
these important conditions. Notwith-
standing the possibilities of the case,
the facts are that to-day the great mass
Of butter made on the farms is sold for
a less price than that made in creamer-
+ % Ioo fo. ~
Of the reasons for this condition of af-
fairs.
In the first place, there is q large
amount of butter made on farms that
is not good to begin with, and justly
should not bring any more ii ian it usu-
| ally does. This sort of butter is made
where the cows and butter making are
sort of side issue of the farm, where
the milk and butter must await the de-
mands of all the other farm and house
work before they receive attention. 1t
is made where the maker is ignorant,
careless and dirty. The cows ARE milked
az the convenience of the hired man,
and the milk is strained and put into
! the creamery at some indefinite time
thereafter, when the hired girl gets
ready. Sometimes the cream is re-
moved in "a hours, and some times not
in four days. In hot weather the
cream gets too sour, and in cold, it
sometimes never gets sour at all. 1t is
churned at a temperature sometimes
too low, but oftener too high, and never
| twice alike. The buttermilk is not
completely removed, salt is added by
guess, and it is worked by main
strength till the dairy maid gets tired.
During the whole process it associates
more or less intimately with the cooked
and uncooked food in the family PAN
try, and the wonder is, not that it is
bad, but that it is as good as it is.

ABOUT FILLED CHEESE.
The Practice of Making 1t Is a Very Rep
rehensible One.

The Practice OF Making 1t Is Very Rep
rehensible One.
1t is a fact that American cheese
makers have lost their prestige in the
markets of the old world on account of
the character of the product sent from
this country, and Canadians have, to
a great extent, taken the place thus left
vacant.
There is probably more filled cheese
made in Illinois than in any other state
in the union, though Wisconsinisa good
second. The practice of making filled
cheese is reprehensible one, and the
evil is growing one, for Chicago con-
tains q long list of sinners in this re-
spect.
If the cheese thus made could be sold
to the consumers for just what il Is,
there would not be so much harm in it,
for he could buy it or let it alone, Just
as best suited him. 1t is due the max
ers of filled cheese in Chicago to say
that they make no pretense that it is
full milk cheese, but make and sell it
for exactly what ii is; but after it
leaves the hands of the maker it is
palrned off as pure cheese, regularly
made, and this is what gives American
cheese the reputation it has abroad,
and what has taken the trade away
from us and given it over into the hands
of Canadian cheese makers.
There should be laws to make this
state of affairs impossible, but so far
there has been no effective movement
TO check the making and sale of hog-fat
cheese for full cream.-Farm and Fire

Milk cows S25.00 to $4,000
There is at present about llS
miles of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the Lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres Of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that a quarter
of million acres Of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notacly at the
narrows about i8 miles from SAT-
ford where box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
1t is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal.
Graham county covers an area
of 1000 square miles.
The Gila valley is 35 miles from
the narrows to the edge Of the res
ervation, with an average width of
bottom lands Of two miles, the dis
tance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is fanked
on the north by the Gla mountains
and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
of ten thousand feet above sea level.
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the Gila
or Graham mountains, the few
properties which have been de-
velnped show that the ore body
is practically inexhaustable; while
copper predomlnates, there is both
gold and silver in paying quantities
1t is a virgin field for both the
minor and captaItist and one which
promises grand results.
The two principal mining COM
panies are the Detroit, at Morenci.
and the Arizona Copper Company,
at Clifton. The former employees
800 men and the latter 900.
The output of the Arizona comp,
sny is 20 tons of copper per day
and of the Detroit about 10 tons
per day. These two companies
alone pay out for labor about $780,.
900 annually.

tuberculosis In Calves,

In some of the experiments in Iowa
it is found that calves horn from tuber-
culous mothers, when allowed to take
milk from their mother developed tub
erculin, but W hen raised on milk known
to be healthy, did not become affected
with the disease. This has raised the
question whether the children of con-
sumptive parents could not escape the
diease if Mt once removed from their
care. The point is an interesting one,
rs it involves the question of inherited
tendencies, and we hope that scientists
will cndeavor to shed more light upon
il.
