may be any length desired. At each
end is a set of double doors made to fit

The side walls are sheathed with pa

also be filed with the same.
The projecting roof is to prevent the

Improving the Butter Flavor by Certain
Kinds of Bacteria
Among the most remarkable of re-
cent discoveries is the fact that lac
terra are responsible for the flavor of
butter and cheese. After all, the pop
ular notion that these organisms are
enemies of mankind is mistake Near
ly all of them are harmless, and some
are exceedingly beneficial. 1t is only
few eccentric species that have adopted
parasitic habits, and, feeding on the
body tissues of mankind and other ami
mails, produce thereby unpleasant dis
eases.

Can 1t Be Produced by Watering Cows
Literally and Often?
Regarding the above subject, there
are records of carefully-conducted ex.
periments which seem to indicate that
when cows are under natural conditions
the quantity of milk produced by them
varies more or less with the quantity
of water taken, but by no means with
perfect regularity. The most milk
seems to fall on the days next after
drinking most water. And the rec
ords show that the quality of the milk
does not vary as much as the quantity
in such cases. Frequent drinking by
cows, as where water is so provided
that they may drink at will, also ap-

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Keep no more cows than can be fed
and handled proftably.
A COW in poor condition is sure to
give poor, thin, inferior milk.
Sweet cream poured into that which
is sour does not all churn.
If cows attention is attracted, she
immediately let's down her milk.
So far as is possible discard all COWS
that develop Objectionable habits natu
rally.
The real test of a cow is her perform
months in milk.
If milk is to be used for butter or
cream, deep setting and speedy sepa-
ration give the best results.
A heifer is valuable in proportion to
the smallness of the feed required by
her to make pound of butter.
There are three general faults in but
ter-making, overripening of cream,
overchurning and overworking.
A good quantity of good, rich milk
for ten months in the year is what
every dairyman should have from every
cow in the herd.
While fat cows may present rather
better appearance, it is pretty GER

ting fat on their backs they are not

Churning at Low Temperature.

The aim in churning, says Hoard's
Dairyman, should be to churn at as low
a temperature as will bring the butter
in reasonable length of time, and it
is an excellent plan to keep memo
randum of the temperature of the
cream, the temperature of the room in
which the churning is done, together
with the length of time of the churn-
ing. After such a memorandum has
been kept for awhile, one will be sur
prised at its usefulness. And, in fact,
unless one is blessed with phenom-
email memory, a memorandum of the
dairy operations will be found to be of
benefit.

Atchison people came to the Topeka
Reunion on the very first day and there
wasn't any excursion either.
And they are coming over in about
that daily average right along. There
will be no special train from Atchison
Friday but a number of coaches will be
added to the regular train for the ac-
commodation of Topeka's Atchison re-
Iations who are coming over to see a
tip-top sham battle and a 1urid Carni-
val.
There is only this trouble about this,
Atchison has her excursion to Topeka
on the only day when there is any
charge to anything. When Topeka
people visited Atchison they didn't
have to pay for a thing.

BIG PILES OF BAGGAGE.
Extra Men Required at the Depots to
Handle It.

The Topeka baggage smasher has his
hands full both figuratively and in
reality this week. The visitors in To
peka to attend the Fall Festival and
State Reunion are keeping him busy
handling their trunks, telescope satch-
els and smaller luggage.
So far there has been nothing in the
way of a blockade of baggage at the
depOts of the railroads entering Tope-
ka but at the Santa F'e and Rock IS
land baggage rooms in this city about
900 additional pieces of baggage above
the ordinary number handled have
been taken care of during the past two
days. At all depOts extra men are
working in the baggage rooms
At the Santa Fe depot the work of
handling the surplus baggage has been
facilitated by the switching of special
trains direct to Camp Miles. All bag
gage of the old soldiers and others who
have taken quarters at the camp has
been sent there on the switch trains.
Up to noon today the baggage rooms
of all roads were piled high with all
kinds of luggage, but it is expected that
the amount will commence to diminish
this afternoon and continue to do so
until the last of the week. This is from
the fact that visitors arriving in To-
pelxa after today will come to stay but
two OF three days, and will only carry
small luggage.

contrasted the confederate money with

frequently during his two hours

PROGRESS OF THE INDIANS
Commissioner Browning Says the Main
Effort is to Make Them Self Sup
porting.

Washington, Sept BOD. M. Brown
ing, commissioner of Indian affairs,
has made his annual report to the sec
rotary Of the interior He says with no
outbreak or disturbance during the
year the progress OF Indians generally,
education and civilization has been un-
interrupted and substantial. The main
effort now, as for many years, must
be to put the Indian upon his alIOt-
nent, teach him to support himself
there protect him from encrOachment
and injustice and educate and teach
his children in books and Industries.
As a first step, so far as treaty Obli-
cations do not interfere by requiring
the payment of moneys and issuance OF
ratiOnS or annuities, the Indians are
given to understand that the govern
ment will not feed and clOthe them
while they remain in idleness. Such
funds as are available for the purpose
are devoted to starting Indians in
homes. If an Indian viii go upon an
allotment and work to Improve it. the
government will assist him in building
a house and putting his farm in opera
ton and making a practical farmer.
The commissioner says the govern
Tnent goes further and pays the Indian
for his work. To regular Indian en-
ployes the government paid last year
a half million dollars. A great diversi-
ty of crafts and industries are the
growth of the advanced civilization
The reports from Indian agents, he
says, shows that Indians are coming
to earn JAelE nNlnS- 1ney nave sup.
plies for the government, raise crops
to sell, raise and sell live stock, work
in the woods and on irrigation bitches
and in many other ways contribute to
their own subsistence. The entire In
dian service, with few exceptions, is
now under civil service regulations.
Exceptions are made as to Indians who
are employed under non-competitive
examination.
Progress in educating the Indians is
reported very satisfactory in spite of
many difficulties encountered The en-
rollment during the year was 1882, an
increase of 315 over the previous year.
The average attendance increased
852.
The commissioner urges the passing
of the bill now pending in congress to
prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians
who have become citizens. He says
the correspondence in his Office shows
that the Indians in the west and
northwest who have received allot-
ments are becoming den4oralized by
the liquor traffic.
