The First Princinlc

An English dairy journal says: The
utter disregard of the first principle of
butter-making-correct temperature of
the cream-naturally produces a soft,
oily butter containing excess of moist
ure. No amount of washing or maui
ing can make butter produced at too
high a temperature or over-churned
any good; while excessive washing en-
tircly removes the fine aroma which all
choice creameries should possess in a
very marked degree. Tie foisting Of
rubbish as choice creamery on English
buyers is as stupid fraud as the ship
ping Of false weights and tares, and
when done to any extent, as during
the past month. simply destroys the
markets for tie tine being.
AS confidence in quality is now being
restored. look for a renewed and
much better butter demand. Butter
must he made now by the rule of ther-
mometer and accurate weighing; not
by the rule Of thumb and guess-work.

many and Austria, had an audience Of
the sultan. Abdul Hamid, one of many
such interviews which have taken
place within the past year OH the sub
ject, that of n better administration OF
the affairs of the Turkish empire. The
Russian diplomat began by warming
the sultan and the Turkish govern
ment that IL the revenues ceded for
the payment of the Turkish debt were
touched the European control of the
finances of the empire would become
inevitable. NJ. Dc Nelidoff, the Rus
sian ambassador. further informed the
sultan that the car guaranteed his
personal safety and engaged himself
to maintain the sultan's supremacy in
the event of severe measures being
necessary upon the part of the powers.
The sultan, however, remained Obj
durnte, refusing his consent to any
measure of control, financial or 9TH
erwise. by thespowers.
To this the Russian ambassador re-
piled that the condition of the Turk
ish empire placed the throne and the
calfphate in imminent peril. Thereup-
on Abdul Hamid remarked impressive.
":
Il may be the last of the caliphs, but
I will never become n second khedivc."
In addition to these warnings NJ. De
NClidOf sent a note to the Turkish
government and to the palace, and the
most significance is attached to it in
diplomatic circles. He pointed out in
precise terms the necessity of the sui
tan following the advice Of the powers.
warming them once more that the sui
tan's refusal to do so involves the
most disagreeable consequences.
The ambassadors of the powers will
meet again in order to discuss the sit
uatiOn and will reassemble ir future
twice week until they complete
their recommendations to the sultan
and his advisers.
The envoys, acting together, will
llenceforth maintain the strictest Sc
crecy regarding their deliberations and
the action taken or contemplated. and
will not even inform the ENJOYS of the
other powers of the decisions reached.
