Cream Raising.

O4O0AAA AOesASAAE9
A mum Der of years ago Samuel E. Lewis
Oxford, N. Y, told me he set 400 pounds
of milk in accordance with the cold
deep setting system and after taking OF
the cream decided to make a test to
determine whether this scum he had
always noticed at second setting con-
tained any butter. With that quantity
of milk he succeeded In getting enough
so he could churn it. After exhausting
all efforts with the churn he failed to
obtain any butter. This was an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate fact which
could not be demonstrated where q
small quantity Of milk had been set.
Mr.. Lewis satisfied himself that there
is no value whatever In the slight scum
that rises at the second setting Of milk,
where milk has once been properly set,
and the temperature quickly reduced to
the proper point.
SHOULD BE DEMONSTRATED.
Any one who has experimental in
this direction will readily notice the
difference between real cream and the
scum mentioned. Those who are rails
ing cream for butter or other purposes
should never be satisfied until they
have demonstrated to certainty that
they are obtaining all the cream there
is In their milk.
THE SWEDISH METHOD.
The cold, deep-setting or Swedish
method, as It's name indicates, was first
practiced in Sweden, and was introduced
to the notice of American dairymen in
1876 by the late lamented x. A. Willard
through the columns of the Country
Gentleman. All there is Of this system
is to set the mill at or near the tempera-
ture at which 1t is drawn and quickly
redlc ced to 45 degree or below. In cold
weather it may be necessary to reduce
the milk to 40 degrees; and. if the milk
becomes materially reduced in tenn
perature before it arrives at the dairy
room the temperature had better be
raised to 98 degrees before setting.
There has been great deal written and
printed by those who have. attempted to
explain the Swedish method OF cream
raising. The correct solution is a
simple one. The reduction of tempara-
ture condenses the wafer portion of the
milk thus giving it greater specified

The Peoples Bible History.

One of the most thorough and in
teresting of recent contributions to
biblical history is the work known as
1.-The Peoples Bible History" 1t is
edited by Rev. George c.. Lorimer,
LID, with an introduction by
Right Hon. William Ewart Glad
stone. NJ. F.. and published by the
Henry o. Sheppard company. of
Chicago. The work is compiled in
the light of recent Investigations,
and theories by some of the foremost
thinkers on the European and Ameri-
can continents. "The Peoples Bible
History" while planned by its editor
in the interest OF evangelical relig-
ion, it is not its design to be either
narrow or repressive. 1t is held
that truth is never advantaged by
seeming dread of exhaustive investi-
cation and research and reasonable
freedom Of expression. The mission
of the work Is to give to the public
what it has a right to know, what
eminent theologians and scholars
think on subjects closely interviewer
with mems spiritual welfafe. The
prime purpose Of the volume in a
word is to unfold the history re-
corded in the bible rather than to
discuss theories or inspirations or
defend any system of theology; hence
a wider range OF opinion has been al
lowed than would have been admis-
sible in other circumstances.

AN ACTORS BAD BREAK.

Member of the Edwin Stock Company
Makes an ExhibItioh Of Hiuseif.
People attending the theatre last
evening were given an exhibition
which was not on the programmed q
member of the Edwin Stock COM
pany dis played to the utter disgust
of the audience the supreme qualities
OF the cheap actor. Rock Island
theatregcers. as . guile. have TOT
Grated these bafn stdkming aggrega-
tions with unusual patience this sea-
son. in consequence Of which they are
swarming into the city one after an
other and until one has landed here
which IS burlesque on the profess
sion which it seeks to follow. The
Edwin Stock company is this latest
arrival. While people cannot ex-
pect much for 10 cents, the least they
can expect is decent behavior on the
part Of the performers.
Last evening one Of the company
came out in BLACK face and told some
Jokes which have been mosscovered,
10! these many years. but the audi
ence took them good naturally, with
the exception of one man in the par
quet, who Kissed. The perform or
responded to an encore and ATTEMPTED
to sing song. He was greeted with
q volley Of Kisses. Then he showed
his real color by calling the hissers
"pin heads" and telling them that
he was ply sically and otherwise re-
sponsibie for himself and that if fur
ther satifaction was wanted the
person desiring it could meet him
after the show.
Up to date, the cheap actor has had
very fair treatment in Rock Island.

AID FOR THE ARMENlANs,

Rock island to Ccnsribnfe Toward Re
lieviox the Oatraged People.
Rock Island viii undon btediy do her
share toward assisting the people OF
that nation across the waters. which
has suffered indescribable horror and
destruction at the hands of the
heathsnish Turk. At least those who
attended the meeting at Association
hall last evening signified their will
iugness to aid the suffering Arme-
MAN and it is not unlikely that all
persons if they knew the TERRIBLE state
Of affairs as they really exist in that
nation of horror and blosdshed today
would with open heart contribute ae-
cording to their circumstances.
The meeting was lightly attended,
owing no doubt to the threatening
weather. Rev. G. NJ. Manavian,
field agent of the Armenian Relief
committee of Chicago. who is ma
tive of the prosecuted country, which
he left about five years ago. gave a
graphic description of the outrage
being perpetrated by the Turks and
Khurds. Rev. Manavian is in con-
slant touch with the affairs of his
country and his stories of how the
Armenians are butchered Is some
thing beyond the sphere of descrip-
ton. Over one hundred thousand
of the Armenians have thus far been
slain. Mr.. Manavian said, and the
500. 200 survivors are left without
bread or money to replace the homes
and buildings burned and DESTROYED
by the Turkish army. Rev. Mana
Wan said the Armenians are fast be-
coming undermined, learning the
English language. studying the
American authors. and learning
what education, christianity and in
dependence really are, and this. he
says, is the occasion of the sultan's
onslaught. for he views such pro-
grsss on the part of the Armeuians
with great deal of apprehension.
Rev.I. W. Allen Jr. also read ex-
tracts from personal letters from the
scenes of horror. Phil Mitchell was
chairman of the meeting. Rev. Allen
read from the scriptures and Rev.
Taylor offered PRAYER and Rev. Mar
auis offered the benediction.
Henry Hansen was elected treas
urer of the Rock Island fund. which
will be sent by him to headquarters
at Chicago. Contributions can be
left at Mitchell & Lynde's bank.

THE TURKS CONDITION.

The ..~Unspeakable Turk" IS also un.
able to understand the language 10
which the world is speaking to him,
admonishing him to cases his crimes
With vengeance hanging over him and
dissolution threatening his existence,
he stolidly pursues the policy of out
rage and determination toward the Ar.
menians, utterly ignorant, or calmly
indifferent, to the brewing storm.
1t is probably we'll that the Turk
does not show signs of reform, or de-
sire to comply with the requests of the
powers. If he did profess decency it
would be a false profession and would
only delay what should long ago have
been done. If be accepted the reforms
proposed it would only be to avert dis
aster until another opportunity offered
to violate his pledges again. But IL he
goes on, as at present, Just . little
longer, the exhausted patience of the
powers and the civilized world will
give way altogether and the Ottoman
Empire will be torn down, the Un-
speakable Turk will be shorn OF his
power and a great service will be rem
dered to humanity and civilization.

La the detection Of crime, the first
principle is to look for the motive that
could possess one who Is suspicioned.
Az man will naturally follow the die
tates OF bis conscience and do what is
right, it Is reasonable to presume that
when he commits a crime, there must
bs an outside force working upon him
to induce him to do wrong. This out
side force is termed motive. Let US
apply the same rule to the republican
politicians Of this Territory who are
using their utmost endeavors to bring
the party in line with the st. LOUIS
platform and the obnoxious gold plank
in the same. These same republicans
are men who in 1890, 1892 and 1894
framed the republican platforms which
declared in no uncertain tones for the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver at
the ratio OF 16 to l, without waiting for
an international agreement. This was
no doubt their honest conviction on the
money question. They have repudiated
their convictions, and nov let us in
ouire of the motive that induced them
to do this.
The republican party 10 national con-
yention at St. Louis, and under the
control OF eastern bond holders, caused
a gold plank to be inserted la the plat
form and the republican politicians in
New Mexico are trying to have the
same Endorsed in this Territory against
the honest will Of the people. The
m ,tiv, for them to do 80 is this. They
can 60 to Washington after the fourth
of March next, and II Mr.. Mckinley is
elected they can say "We have sacri-
feed everything for the good of the re.
publican party at large. We have de-
stroyed the party in New Mexico to
save it ia the states; we have become
martyrs to the cause of gold, now put
US 10 the way to get some of that gold
We are not selfish or greedy, for you
can take the United States m~arshalship
and divide it in tive and it will satisfy
two of US. Give US The postoffices, the
revenue offices and the Indian agencies
and VIC will be satisfied, for we have
suffered for your cause, and if we are
not rewarded by federal office, oui
political grave has been dug, for we
have been traitors to Our convictions
and our Territory, Tor your sake"
Whether the next administration will
recognize local party wreckers as rea
friends Of the party at large, rem AIM
to be seen, but it is a fact nevertheless
tqat the indications now are that thu
Territory of New Mexico is about to be
placed 10 the hands OF democracy fol
years to come simply to satisfy the
greed OF a few politicians who wan
federal appointments.
