Butter From Cooley Cream VS.. That
from Separator Cream.

Editor Hoard's Doiryman - With
reference to the butter exhibited by me
at the recent Bay State fair, where that
made from cream raised by the
"Cooley" process carried off the high
est honors, give you short account
of the facts i'll the case.
AT my creamery In Westmorelind, l
have two sets of patrons. One set
raise their cream by the Cooley process
and bring it to the creamery in cans,
and the other set bring their milk 10
the creamery and have it separated
there by separator, and in maj y cases
take the skim milk back with them.
AS there has been more or less discus
sion from various quart RS as t. the
relative merits of butt made from the
cream which was secured in the two
diff rent ways. | decided TO give the
matter a fair trial. Knowing that the
Bay State fair which was to be held in
Worcester, Mass, were in the habit OF

The distinguished Judge says:
Last winter my wife was very
sick, taken down with the grip very
severely. We employed the usual
methods of physicians and she inn
proved some, but was left very feeble,
so that she could hardly get around the

Endorsement like this is all the proof
that DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and

Don't fail to use this surest and

State House Fence.

Editor Of Daily Journdl:-The senate, by
the casting vote of its president, has passed
bill for the removal of the State House
fence, which now awaits action by the
House of Representatives The question at
once arises, Is not the Senate's action pre-
mature? Has the subject been sufficiently
considered? 1t has been suggested that the
fence il a part, and an essential part, of the
pleasing picture which the s ate House and
grounds as whole present to the eye Re-
move the fence and part of the picture is
gone, 1t is like removing the frame OF
painting, or the setting of jewel Such
removal il the frame or the setting be APP
propriate, lessons the effect of the painting
or the Jewel. In the case of the State House
and grounds and enclosing fence, unity is
assured by keeping the latter 1t should not
be removed unless such removal heightens
the art effect. Will il? That is the question.
Now the decision of such a question should
be left to those who have made such sub
jects study, or those who, by their artistic
training, are competent to decide 1t. Mr..
Thomas W. Wood, artist, OF your neighbor-
ing town, could have an opinion on this sub
iect which would be- OF value. So would land
scape architects like Olmstead and Elliot of
Boston. Surely, would it not be the part
of wisdom for the House of Representa-
tives to ket expert opinion before deciding
in so important matter? This is the way
il looks to A LAYMAN.

A YOUNG business man of this city has

door on the inside played the villain, and
four or five friends formed the chorus and

think our constitution should be so amend

that such officials be made Ineligible

principal and most important subjects to
engage the attention OF the Twenty fifth
legislature will be, briefly stated, as fol-
lows:
such amendment of the code OF criminal
procedure as will simplify criminal prac-
tice. and prevent reversaIs in the higher
court On trivial and red tape techncali-
ties.
Additional legislation providing for the
care and custody OF the insane so that
these unfortunates may not be confined In
the jalls of the State. In company with
the vicious and depraved.
The passage of just and equitable fee
bill, so that the emoluments Of office may
be somewhat equalized in the several
counties. and the excess OF Just comsensa-
ton may inure TO the public instead OF
the Individual.
The amendment OF the assignment law
| In some manner SO that the frequent
frauds committed under the present law
may be no longer possible. And here will
be fight, for there are two sides TO this
question, and conservatism only can hope
to accomplish anything along this line.
The amendment OF the mechanics lien
law. so that the letter and spirit OF the con-
stitution may be carried out and mechanics
have a reliable security for their dues
The amendment Of the game laws. 80
that the speedy extinction OF the game,
wild fowl and fish OF the State may be
averted.
The rcdstricting OF the State into Jul
dlcial districts and the consequent reor-
ganization Of the judiciary.
The amendment of the suffrage law so
as to conform to the recently adopted
amendment OF the State constitution.
The amendment Of the election law so
that the Australian ballot. or some analog-
OILS system less costly and intricate, may
be extended to all towns and country pre-
cincts.
An amendment OF the penal code pro
viding for the more certain discovery and
condign punishment OF frauds nj elections
and preventing the purchase and sale Of
the elective franchise
A Joint resolution amending the con-
stitution so as to extend the term OF office
of State and county officers to four years.
Some needed amendments to the public
free school laws. and revision of the
revenue laws.
Of course there will be much business OF
minor importance. as usual. but IL the
legislators do their duty along the line In
dicated they can go home aud receive the
well merltod plaudits Of their constituents;

the expense of the government.
II Is probable that there will be consid-
cradle railroad legislation. as the employees
seem to be organizing to secure the passage
OF certain measures looking TO their pro-
lection.
The plank In the State platform demand
ing the reapportionment Of judicial dis
tricts and requiring express companies TO
maintain general offices within tho limite
of the State will probably receive atten-
ton.
A reformation In our criminal law and
code OF procedure which will avoid re-
ycrsals on technical grounds and Il revision
of our jury law should be pressed.
The Prairie View Normal school should
be converted into a university for the col
ored people and 30 600 acres of public laud
set apart for It's maintenance.
Further restrictions should be placed on
insurance companies doing business In the
