Total subsidiary . 165S9,594 S5,1lS,4696O
Silver coins of all the different de-
nominations are now being made, and
presumably in about the same proper
tlOns as given in the foregoing state
ment. We have no official returns
later than the Mint Report for last
year.
Mintsge of subsidiary coins is done
under provisions of the act Of Febru-
sry /, 1853, which provides "Thst In
order to procure bullion for the requi-
site coinage of the subdivisions of the
dollar authorized by this act, the Treas
urer of the Mint shall, with the sp-
provsl of the Director, purchase such
bullion with the bullion fund Of the
mint" This provision, slightly
amended, resppesrs in section 1926 of
the Revised Statutes Of 1874.
Coinage of silver dollars proceeds
under authority of section 3 of the act
of July IA, 189O-the Sherman law,
which reads: "Thst the Secretary of
the Treasury shall each month coin 2
million ounces of the silver bullion
purchased under the provisions Of this
act into standard silver dollars until
the first day of July, 1891, and after
that time he shall coin Of the silver
bullion purchased under the provisions
of this act as much as may be heces-
ssry to provide for the redemption of
the treasury notes herein provided for,
and any gain or seignorage arising
from such coinage shall be accounted
for aud paid into the treasury"
Ostensibly this coinage is for the
purpose Of redeeming treasury notes
that were issued in payment for the
bullion; but as matter of fact, the
coinage is to issue silver certificates
upon, and add that much to the cur
rency of the country.
Coinage Of subsidiary pieces will con-
tinue as long ss the law continues In
force.
Dollar coinage Is wholly In the dis
cretion of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and as long as the practice of gold
redemption continues, he need not coin
a silver dollar.
Silver dollars were In general circu-
lstion in the United States before 1873.
The coinage of silver dollars was dis.
continued in 1905 because, being of
full weight, they were shipped out of
the country and worn and lighter coins
of Spain and Mexico took Cheir places
In the circulation and so continued
many years. Silver dollar coinage was
resumed in 1886, and with the excep.
ton of the next two years, it was con-
tinued steadily till 1873. The last three
years preceding 1874 silver dollars were
coined as follows:

rest of the debt was in the form Of
notes which, while they were regarded
as debt, were issued and used as cur

chased with the notes.
1t is estimated by persons living at
the time and being cOgnizant Of the
facts, that ths average price paid for
bonds was 60 cents on the dollar, and
much the larger portion was paid in
notes that had been purpOsely depreci-

SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT SILVER COINAGE.
The following questions have been
referred to the ADVOCATE for answer:
I. Is silver being coined in the United
States noWP
2. If so, under what law, how long
can it continue, and are dollars being
coined?
8. Were there silver dollars In gen
ersl circulation in the United States
before 1892

Mint for 1895 (psge 81 shows the fol
lowing amounts of silver coinage dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80, 1895:

Using tho Separator.

In running separator, do not have
the milk needlessly warm. Mr.. Wage
ner, instructor in butter making at
grees is better than higher tempera-
ture. He believes that probably the
most important point in running a sep
arator is the thickness of the cream,
and says: Adjust your separator so
that your cream will be as thick as
you can churn. BY this mean as thick
as can be and yet fall from end to end
Of a revolving churn and not stick to
the sides when churning. Such cream
will generally contain 80 to. As per cent
of fat. consider this very important
point. Cream containing 40 per cent of
fat will churn more quickly and leave
less fat in the buttermilk at 55 de-
grees than will cream containing Is to
20 per cent at 60 degrees. The secret
of quick churning at the very low tenn
perature--52 to SO degrees, which we
know to be the best-is to have your
cream very rich. This is an advantage
you cannot secure from cold settings,
ii being difficult to obtain cream of this
class with much over Is to 20 per cent
of fat. The second point of great i'm
portance is to cool the cream at once to
a low temperature-at least So degrees
and hold 1t there for few hours be-
fore warming it up to ripen. When
ever, in summer time. we are troubled
with cream that coagulates before it
gets much acid, or with different
Cummings, which some of us have, l
feel sure that chilling the cream direct
ly from the separator will help greatly
We shall get better grain, better flavor,
and more satisfactory results in every
way. believe that this matter OF care
less handling of cream after 1t is sep
arated is the rock upon which many
butter makers split.
