BUTTER IN A MINUTE.

New English Machines Quick Work with

A wonderful dairy machine is said
to be on exhibition in England. This
machine, the invention of Herr Saleni-

160 degrees Fahrenheit, and rims

skinned it rises into the churning
chamber, being cooled down to so de-
grees in it's progress by means of very
small cooling frames, through which
iced water constantly passes, and which

of 5000 revolutions rer minute. The
cream is forced into tube, perforated
with tiny holes, through which it

fresh layer of cream that rises, convert

butter thus formed in granules

TYPICAL FRENCH ROAD.

q road in repair is not nearly so great as
the expense of rebuilding road that
neglect has allowed to sink into state
of decay.
The poplars along these French roads
are trimmed to certain height SO that
sun and air can dry the surface, which
is high in the center, thus allowing wa
ter to flow off at once, after shower

through the turf at each side, into the

COMPULSORY LABOR.
Work at the Stone Pile Is just the Thin
for Jail Frequenters.

Work at the Stone Pile Is just the Thing
for Jail Frequentcrs.
Stone breaking may not be available
as employment for all convicts, yet d
majority of the counties could put theil
prisoners at such work with beneficial
effect, both upon the country ard the
stone breaker. Too often the county
iails are looked upon, especially by
tramps, chiefly as snug retreats from
the winters cold. With warm quar-
tiers, fair amount of wholesome food
and nothing to do, the average Jail
prisoner feels himself very well fixed
indeed. His purpose is to live without
work. Jail life has no injurious effect
upon his already bad reputation, and
the restraint put upon his movements
is more than compensated for by the
absence of care and work. If every
prisoner could be made to work at stone
breaking regularly and vigorously. til"
county expenses would be greatly re-
duced. materials for better roads would
be in ample supply, and the prisoner
might be taught the virtues of honest
toll.
The wonder is that the simple plan o.
stone breaking has not been adopted in.

with the supervisors and the other

Connectic,,t,s ROAD Law.

Under the road law passed by the
late Connecticut legislature 80 towns
have applied to the state highway COM
mission for the authorized aid The
state pays one-third of the cost, the
county one-third and the town one
third. The appropriation is not equal
to the demands made on it, The Con-
necticut law differs from the New Jer-
sey in levying no special assessment on
the abutting property holders, so that
poorer localities which need the bene-
fit most will not be deferred from APP
plying for aid. By this legislation
Connecticut is brought into line with
New Jersey in the good-road move
ment, and in advance of New York and
