Removing OdOrs from Cream.

An important discovery is claimed to
have been made by an Iowa dairyman,
who practices method of removing
the odor of wild onions and garlic fror,
cream intended for butter making,
which is to dilute the cream with two or
more parts of hot water, first adding
four ounces of saltpetre to the cream
for 100 pounds of butter. The tempera-
ture of the diluted cream is raised to
100 degrees, when it runs through the
separator again. 49,.

Patent Mail Sack.

Last winter the government offered
reward of SIS, 900 for an invention that
would improve the method of locking
and unlocking mail sacks, the straps,
staples and padlocks taking up too
much time for the mail clerks on the
1ast mail trains. In hopes of acquir-
ing this reward. r. R. Tichenor, of
Henning, set to work upon an idea,
with the result that he has applied for
patent upon device which does
away with the strap and staples. 1t is
light and durable, opens with a key,
out is self-locking, and holds the sack
wide open when unlocked. It can be
closed and locked with one motion of
the hand. Officers of the railway mail
service have inspected the device and
speak very favorably of it, and have
issued orders that it be put to an i'm
mediate test.

privileges given away by themselves or
their fathers; and very often the actions
of the past are roundly condemned. Yet
the action of the past was generally the
best under the circumstances, although
by the use of what is called 'hindsight''
it is usually easy to condemn it. In the
case of the Union Pacific an indebted
ness to the government of thirty five
millions of dollars was contracted. With
interest this sum now amounts to about
seventy and a half millions. From this
is to be deducted sinking fund deposit
of eighteen millions, made with the gov
eminent by the road to meet the indebt-
edness. This leaves the net debt about
fifty three millions. The government
has arranged to sell the road for twenty
eight millions; thus making loss of
about twenty-five millions. Simply as a
business venture it has been great fail
ure, and should not be forgotten in these
days when many are anxious to see the
government dabble in all sorts of things.
But as patriotic venture, intended to bind
the nation together and develop its waste
places, we are inclined to think that it
has been profitable.

and the governments interests in the

spite of all these things the action of the
statesmen who encouraged the road was
undoubtedly wise, and the people of
America can well afford whatever loss
they have to stand. Public bodies,
whether nations or towns, generally deal
with such enterprises under disadvant-

of electric roads in this state. An electric
road is proposed for town. The people

to give it any privileges it may want

There is no prospect whatever that France

to close their minis to it years ago when
