Speeding For Life Over T. Turning Fridge.
Engineer William Narragong had n
thrilling experience the other night.
He runs No. . passenger train, duo Il:
Tamaqua from PHILADELPHIA at o .:}s.
As his train rounded Springer's curve,
several miles south CT this city, he was
Mortified to see that tho old covered
wooden bridge was envelopad in flames.
To stop was impossible, as the distance
was too short, SO he threw the throttle
wide open and dashed Gu the burning
bridge, reaching the other side with his
human cargo in safety. The heat was
very strong, and in the short space Of
time required to cover the 100 feet CON-
posing the bridge the cars were blist.red
and the roofs covered with burning de-
bris. Had the train been ten minutes
later it would have landed in the
Schuylkhl and caused a great loss Of
life, as the bridge burned very rapidly.

AZ the Lewiston state fair. Butter not
worked enough II quite az faulty e.
that which II over-worked. Writers
NAV proclaim that butter needs no
working as much NJ they please. Jet
the claim viii be untrue so long ~ the
present standard OF merit continues.
Those for whom butter Is made desire
a condition OF the article that Il only
secured by what IL popularity known az
working. Too much Of this working IL
injurious. too little Ia defective. In the
making Of good butter there are three
conditions dependent on or brought
about by what Il termed working.
I. Adbeslveness. There should be
certain measure % cohesion Among the
particles or globules o. butter. This
should be sufficient to cause Il to adj
here together as one common mass.
This condition IN Just the opposite OF
what Is known as porous and crumbly.
II Il sometimes very properly desig-
mated as "waxy." meaning thereby like
wax. compact without being sticky or
greasy. Consumers say such butter cuts
we'll Buyers say II draws well on the
fryer. This desired condition Is Sc
cured by working
2 Water. Butter contains a meas
IRE OF water. There Is much attention
being given at the present time 10 the
amount OF moisture butter should con-
tain. An undue share renders u defec-
tive. when butter is taken from the
churn more liquid adheres 10 the par
tieles or granules than is desirable.
Whether this be buttermilk. pure
water or brine from the sailing too
much Ia more than IL wanted. This
excess Is taken out by working. Hence
too little working leaves too much
water in the product.
,. s,reaks Salt intenslhes or
brings out oolsr in butter. Where the
salt Is not thoroughly mingled with all
parts OF the butter alike the butter
after II Is made up will show light col
cred streaks. and will have a notified
appearance when cut down. This Is a
serious defect and will knock on more
or less pound from the price when
ever found. Notified butter gives the
impression TO consumers Of unclean-
ness and filthy habits about the max.
Ing. and they do not ike It. This con-
dition can be overcome by working and
mingllng the lighter parts with thu
mass till the salt Is evenly distributed
and all becomes one common shade.
Thus Il Il seen that the proper work
ing OF butter Is an important matter
and means money to the maker. II is
rare at an exhibition now 10 find a sam
pie over-worked. II Is a common thing
10 find Il under-worked. In the effort to
avoid an extreme In the one direction
caution has gone too far In the other.
II Is the maker who gets all these con
dltlons the nearest right who secures
the highest score and takes the prizes.
Butter-making requires the constant
application OF skilled judgment.

Methods OF butter making will al.
ways be In order so long as people pro.
fer a choice article. says Maine Farmer
A critical examination OF the large and
fine exhibition OF butter at the Tops
ham fair brought out anew the Inn
portance OF what Is known as working
butter To bring ont a nrst-class artl.
Gle Of butter II is not only necessary
10 have good milk but every part Of
ish must be done just about right. At
lalry exhibitions II Is now quite COM
mon to find samples Of butter that are
not worked much There has been So
much said. OF late. by public instructors
at dairy conventions and dairy schools
about over.working butter that many
makers have gone 10 the other extreme
and do not work enough. This Is more
frequently met In private make than In
the factory product. Several samples
al the Topsham exhibition were faulty
on that account The same was true
