BUTTER IN A MINUTE.
New English Machine's Quick Work Win
Storilixed MIX.

New English Machine's Quick Work Win
sterilized MIX.
A wonderful dairy machine 10 said
to be on exhibition in England. This
machine, the invention of Herr Salient,
us, q Swedish engineer, makes butter
in about minute from stertlized milk
direct. The milk is heated in the ster-
ilizer Tor Pasteurine, as it is callcd) to
160 degrees Fahrenheit, and runs
thence into the cream-skimming cham
Der of the machine. As the cream is
skinned it rises into the churning
chamber, being cooled down to so de-
grees In its progress by means of very
small cooling frames, through which
iced water constantly rasses, and which
revolve with the skinner at the rate
of 5000 revolutions yer minute. The
cream is forced into a tube, perforated
with tiny holes, through which 1T
energies with great force on to each
fresh layer of cream that rises, convert
ing it into butter by conclusion. The
butter thus formed in granules
energies from spout into tub, mixed
with. buttermilk. When all the churn
ing is done wooden stirrer is passed
up and down gently for two or three
minutes, to make the butter separate
from the greater part of the buttermilk.
The butter is then taken out and passed
through butter worker, which
squeezes out most of the buttermilk
in it, after which it is placed
on ice for two hours. and then worked
a little more and made up. Several adj
vantages are claimed for this remark
able machine, which bids fair to create
a revolution in butter making upon
large scale. In the first place, by Pas
touring the milk, disease germs, if any
are in it, are destroyed, us well as the
microbes which cause the putrefaction
of the butter. The process of butter
is SO rapid that there is very
little chance of any germs that may
exist in the atmosphere of the dairy
getting into the butter, especially as
all, or nearly all, air must be forced out
of the chambers of the machine by
cheaper temporary ice-houses can be
going on inside. When the butter is
once pressed the possibility of germ
is almost eliminated.
Thus a wholesome and bookkeeping
butter is produced. Another advantage
is that milk can be converted into but
ter directly after being obtained from
the COW, and yet another is that there
is a considerable saving of labor, when
the use of the radiator" is compared
with that of the ordinary separator and
churn. 1t is asserted that this machine
has been in use for several months in
butter factories in Sweden and Finland.
The demonstration of it's merits in Lon
don created sensation among the
dairy farmers.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD.

Instructors Sometimes Find Their Pupils
Apt In Taking Advice.
A good joke is told on one of the stat
of the Ohio medical college, says the
Cincinnati Times-Star. In q lecture to
the students he advised them when they
came to practice to always carry in their
buggies standard textbook, which
they could consult when in doubt rs to
tho proper course Of treatment. He said
they could excuse themselves from .
patient on the pretext that they wished
to SEQ If their horse was standing or
that they had left some particular med
icine in the buggy. The students were
very attentive. A few days later one Of
them could not answer some pretty
tough questions, and when the doctor
expressed surprise he grabbed text
book and said in . measured tone:
Excuse me, doctor, fear my horse il
not standing hitched him in q hurry
to get by your side. ~ He then retreated
to the hallway. found the answers to
tho hardest questions, and, returning,
answered them all correctly. The doc
tor appreciated the situation and was
relieved when the students ruse did not
become contagious.

Feeding Cabbage to Cows:


have never had experience feeding
cabbage except to very small extent,
but. have known Of men making q
large use of cabbage to feed milk cows,
and they consider it excellent food for
milk production. Some parties who
make q business Of raising cabbage for
market carefully save all the refuse,
such as leaves, stems and small, loose
heads, and sometimes, when the price
is low, nearly all their crop to feed to
their cows, and they reporta very large
flow of milk in consequence. Some add
this caution: 1.-THE flavor of the milk
may be injured il you feed too much; it
surely will be if the cabbage is partly
decayed."-C. P. Goodrich in Prairie

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness Cannot B0 Cured
BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness in
caused by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
.dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

H. Thomas, he has mined successfully.

Escorted the Remains to the
Railroad Station.

mos u. Rugg, prominent and popular
young mining man of Plumas County,
while attempting to ford the north fork
of the Feather River last Friday evening,
was swept from the back of his horse and
was drowned in the river in sight of lady
companion, who looked on powerless to
aid him.
Rugg had been showing some visitors
around the mines and had been leading
their horses along the steep mountain
trails. Wishing to cross from Cleighton
TO Cox's bar and thinking to make a short
cut by fording the stream instead OF going
around by the trail, he had proposed TO
the ladies to cross the river on horseback
First, however, to make sure that there
was no danger, he volunteered to ride
across and then assist the ladies over.
Rugg rode boldly into the stream at the
point where he supposed the ford was, but
the horse stepped into deep water and
commenced TO plunge, shaking his rider
into the pool, which was at least twenty
feet deep. Rugg struck out for the shore,
however, and was within ten feet of the
bank, when he was seen to throw up his
hands and then sink from sight. 1t is
supposed that he was seized with a cramp
and could swim no further.
The body of the drowned man was re-
covered early Saturday afternoon. A
rough box was made, and about o'clock
the dead mans father-in-law, J. II.
Thomas, and his brother. w. B. Rugg,
started with the body to drive to Oroville,
eighty miles away. They arrived there
about o'clock Sunday morning.
Over two hundred people in Oroville,
where the young man was well known,
escorted the remains to the railroad
station. The body was forwarded to Fruit
vale, where the father-in-law of the dead
man lives.
