Freeze stops work ON Streets.

The fr~eezeup Friday night had the effect
of preventing a lot Of omahs's idle labor
from securing employment yesterday. En-
couraged by the prospect OF open weather,
the members of the Board of Public Works
had prepared TO begin active operation on
the streets yesterday, The plan was to
put a force of men at work and to clear un
the streets by the middle of next week.
The change in the weather changed the
program. The members OF the board are
anxious TO get the streets cleaned as soon
as possible, as such an amount OF refuse has
accumulated that 1t makes the crosswaiks
almost impossible.

OMAHA. March 6.-To the Editor of The
Bee: / notice there has been introduced in
the legislature bills intended TO compel the
Omaha Street Railway company to vestibule
their cars, 10 give transfers and to extend
their lines upon request OF the majority Of
the property owners along the proposed -ex-
tension and still another bill compelling
them to extend a line where villages adjoin
the city limits; the latter being Intended,
no doubt to compel an extension of their line
to Dundee Place and Florence. Without
any appearance of defending any corporation
that Expresses the public 1t does seem to
me that 1t is an imposition on a company
giving as good service as the Omaha Street
Railway company (haying their lines ex-
tend d 10 almost evary part OF thefiiy 70 an
anti-monopoly legislature TO impose an un-
reasonable and uniust law on them simply
because they have the power to do &C. l
believe these bills to be against the good OF
the public and should not be passed.

The right of the authorities to imprison
complaining and prosecuting witnesses In case
they are unable to give bonds for their
appearance when the cases come up for
hearing In the district court will, in a meas
ure, be tested in a couple of civil suits that
are shortly to be brought against the county.
The first suit will be brought by Walter
Barron, who was the complaining witness
against a woman who was sent to the peni-
Tertiary last December on the charge of
larceny from the person. Barron, who now
resides in Iowa, was passing through the city
and was robbed of some money while he
was paying a visit to the woman. Both he
and the woman were arrested, the former az
complaining witness. Last October 8 the
woman. was bound over 70 the district court
and Barron was also held as a witness against
her. The latter was unable to furnish bonds
and was therefore imprisoned in the county
jail from the time of the police court hear
ing until the trial in district court, sixty
Ave days in all. He put IN a claim for wit
ness fees for that time, $3.50, and the county
commissioners have signiied no intention o.
paying the claim. Suit will therefore BIZ

The other case is of a similar character

passing through the city from Denver, met O

which was given publicity at the time.
Lizzie Reynolds was the woman charged with
the theft. She was held TO the district
court under $500 bonds to answer TO the
charge OF larceny from the person. Friday
this case was dismissed. From the time
OF the preliminary hearing until the dis

The OvRRPRoOUCTION OF POOF
DAIRYMRN.

Every dairy farmer in the land will
prick up his ears at u sort Of talk
that relates to the question of future
price Of butter or cheese. Talk to him
about what he can do to decrease the
cost OF production, save needless waste
and secure greater economy, and a
large portion of them will grow sud
denly lisJless and indifferent. This is
strange but true, nevertheless. Every
tescher, lecturer, or manager Of q
cream7ry that is called on TO deal with
farmers In a collective capacity will
agree as to this feature. There is no
good reason why this should be 30.
The amount of net cash G farmer ia get,
ting from his milk depends upon the
amount it costs him to make that milk,
If the cost is increased because he does
not rightly understand the right econo-
mics Of his business, then that lack of
understanding adds to the cost of pro-
duction. II he does not know that he
is making a lot of poor, Improbable
COWS, then his ignorance causes a big
increase in cost of production. If he
does not know to feed a properly bal
anced ration, that adds still more cost.
If he does not know how to breed good
COWS. there is added another expense.
If he does not understand the principles
of good. healthy, comfortable stabling,
then in comes still another cost. Look
over the herds, stables and methods of
thousands of farmers, and you can see
at a glance that they are guilty of q
lack of understanding in all these
points. How can such men hope to
make a penny of profits Invariably
you will find that they do not know

THE DAIRY.
DAIRY DOTS.

Butter may have the buttermilk
washed out of it, but when this is done
the water should be afterwards
worked out of it.
In the district of Roquefort, France,
there is a cheese factory which uses
the milk Of some $50, 900 sheep, turning
out during the season from 5000 to
3 500 ions of the celebrated Reg lefort
cheese, which is largely exported, and
commands a high price. or has done so
until recently, when it has been so
largely counterfeited that it is said the
demand is falling off.
The Hartford Journal tells this story
of record breaking butter making. The
biggest story of butter making Is told
by D. A. Rich, OF East Hampton, Con,
necticut. His son In,law, ElIery Weir,
OF Buckingham, has two COWS which
are re cord breakers at milk giving. In
exactly % months these two COWS
made for marketing 1900 pounds OF
fine butter. This does not include the
amount used by the family, nor the
quantity of milk used during this
period.
Properly made butter contains not
more than Is per cent. of moisture,
and 49, per cent. is near the proper
quantity. Anything more than that
should be considered Rs not having been
worked sufficiently, and is unf5 for
shipping or for long keeping. If we
have a standard for our milk, which
declares that it shall have a certain
amount of total solids or OF butter tat,
we may also demand that there shall
be a certain amount of butter fat in
our butter, not less than IS yer cent
If large drops of moisture appear when
the butter is cuti5 indicates INSULT Gent
working, and though it may be all
right in flavor while new, it will quickly
lose that favor, and almost as quickly
acquire another, which is not so pleas,
ant to the taste. If the drops have a
milky color it is even worse than when
the moisture looks like pure, clean

and most of these only slightly, though
q few of them were so far below as to
show gross fraud, n brand being
worth about 80 per ton less than it
would have been had it been up to the
manufacturers claim. Nearly all Of
the others were over the guarantee.
NOTES ON CHERRY CULTURE.
This is the subject of No. 6, volume
5, new series, of bulletins of the Vir
ginia station. The cherry orchard of
the station was planted in 1889 and
1890, and includes only % varieties.
Tue soil is a stiff, cold clay, sloping to
the southeast, and 30 exposed to late
spring frosts that peaches cannot be
grown on 1t.
Cherry culture on a commercial
scale is almost wholly unknown in Vlr.
ginia. The Heart varieties are toOten
der for that State, and the Morellos,
while more hardy and more fruitful,
are of inferior quality, being generally
smaller and too sour for a dessert fruit.
They do for cooking and canning.
As a general thing, cherries DO fairly
we'll in Virginia wherever peaches may
be grown, and cherries can be produced
more easily and more cheapIy than
peaches.
From the six years test at this sta
ton, the following varieties are recon
mended: OF the Hearts, Early Purple,
Schmidt's Bigarrean and Windsor; Of
Morellos, Refine Hortense, O4ivet and
Mou5morency Large.
The general instructions of this bulle-
tin are to keep the trees in good con
dition by proper care, wash them each
winter or in early spring before the
buds open, with one can Of lye dis
solved in six gallons of water. II leaf
disease or brown rot have appeared in
previous years, spray with Bordeaux
mixture just as the buds open and
again as soon as the bloom falls. At
the last spraying, add a pound of Paris
green to each 100 gallons of Bordeaux,
to kill insects. Watch closely in spring
and early summer for every appear
Rnce Of black knot, and cut it out and
burn it promptly, disinfecting the
knife by dipping in carbolic acid after
each cut.
