CYCLONE CHURNS.
Result of Tests Made at the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.

From time to time" said Prof. c.. s.
Plumb. director of the agricultural expert
ment station at Purdue University, there
has been introduced into the dairy COM
munity unique forms of churns. Hundreds
Of varieties ave been patented. and the
farming public as a result has suffered
from the introduction of many Of these
experimental, undesirable churns. Under
ordinary conditions Of churning modern
dairy authorities generally agree that
churns should be free Of all forms of inside
paddles or dashers. This Is because where
different lots of cream are churned together
at one time they are often unevenly ripened,
and butter comes from some of the cream
sooner than from the other. The butter
which comes first is more or less injured
when struck and rubbed by the paddle or
dasher. so that butter Of inferior grain or
quality Is produced. During the past few
years several forms of churns nave been
introduced in the United States that are
advertised to bring the butter ''in a minute
and a hail." and remarkable results are
promised the farmer who uses one of them.
These churns are of the shape of an ice
cream freezer pail, and contain a set or
arms or dashers near the bottom. that are
revolved at great speed by a geared ar
g. liz w "a RAS
ated by a crank handle.
In April and May tests were made or
one of these churns at the Indiana Expert
ment Station. The churn was small of ca
pacity. so but eight pounds or one gallon
of cream was used in each trial. The trials
were made under as favorable conditions
as possible TO produce good butter. The
cream was placed in the churn at a low
temperature, ranging in the different trials
from So degrees to 80 degrees. AT the form
err temperature the butter came IN seven
minutes; at the latter in fifteen minutes.
At 90 degrees a yield of three pounds and
one ounce of sailed worked butter was
secured; at Sc degrees two pounds and
twelve ounces was obtained. The amount of
butter-fat left in the butter-milk showed
that the butter had been quite satisfactor-
lily separated from the cream. The removal
of the butter from his churn, however, was
the objectional feature. If the butter
warmed up to 81 degrees, a very common
churning temperature on our farms, Ii
could not be nicely removed from the churn.
The paddles beat it considerably, and after
giving such careful washings of the
butter as seemed desirable, the contents of
the churn In each case smeared in an OBJ
j~ectionable manner. In winter, in a cold
room, the work of the paddles would still
be undesirable. This type of churn, for the
reason given, Is not TO be recommended
over the standard barrel or box churns, free
of all inside devices. The revolution of a
simple barrel or box churn, containing no
paddles, in n cool room with cream at 81
degrees to Sc degrees temperature. should
give the most satisfactory results TO the
dairy farmer"

night by Sergeant Lowe and charged with
blockading the street. Lowe had previously
notified the Cyclone that he would have

a collection taken up for the benefit of

into the hat, picked out the numerous pieces
OF silver, put them in his pocket, and then
started in with a Testimonial" which was
SO lengthy that the sergeant stepped up and
placed the man under arrest. Then there
was weeping and wailing among the women

A few moments before the arrest a young
man tapped Sergeant Lowe on the shoulder
and asked what he intended doing. The
young man said he was Johnson's son.
Lowe told him the orders that had been
given and said he would arrest Johnson If
they were disobeyed. The son replied.

RECKLESS ON
Three Men on a Triplet the Chief Of


Many complaints were heard yesterday re-
garding the fast and reckless riding of O
number of bicyclists on the towpath. Three
men riding a triplet seem TO have been the
cause of the most anxiety. 1t Is said they
rode the full length of the path at a speed
something like twenty-five miles an hour,
utterly regardless Of others. Their fright
full yells and their speed kept the path clear
for them. There were also some in semi
racing costume. About a dozen OF the fast
riders of yesterday are known to one who
says he Is going to file complaints against
them. A short distance above Belleview the
path was blockaded for a few minutes by
about a hundred cyclists, who stopped to
see what the others had stopped for. Three
colored men, all we'll dressed, were riding
towards the city. One of them tried TO pass
the other two and landed in the canal about
twenty feet from the bank. His companions
stopped as soon as possible and rushed back
to his assistance. The first thing they saw
was a, huge bubble, then a hand, then a
hat. The man in the water struggled and
finally found a place where he could touch
bottom; He waded out: Asked how he felt,
he said, "Oh, rs not much disturbed"
However, he had to be reminded that his
wheel was yet in the water, and he waded
back after IL.

THE PRICE OF FURNITURE.
Local Manufacturers Report an Adj
vance I'm All Lines.

Inquiry develops the fact that the local
manufacturers OF furniture. lounges. ETC.,
are very busy. Notwithstanding the advance
in prices In all lines of furniture, includ-
ing wardrobes. china closets. bureaus. hall
racks and chiffoniers. Within the last year
the price OF furniture OF all grades has adj
vanced In price Is to Is per cent. and the
tendency is to a further hardening Of prices.
IL Is now about two years since the market
was cleared OF bankrupt stocks, which kept
prices down below cost. The chair makers
as well as the furniture and lounge manu-
facturers are busy. Usually at this season
OF the year there is a falling off in orders,
but It has not manifested itself yet this
year. A member OF one Of the firms which
manufacture case goods says that this ad-
vance In prices has been occasioned by an
increase in the cost Of all articles used in
making case goods. some Of the materials
used having advanced Is per cent. Ad-
vances have been made in lumber and in
glass and hardware. and under present
conditions the profits accruing 70 the man

prices are now controlled largely by ma
ftonal associations, which in the last
eighteen months have become strong or
flned TO case goods. bur reaches lounges.

signs that IL Is creating a better demand
for furniture o. the latest make. The adj
vance in furniture has been more pro-
uounced IN the Eastern States than In the
West The Eastern Chair Association, for
instance, has made during the year three
ADVANCES In prices aggregating 20 per cent.
The furniture trade in all lines has been ac-
tive the last six months, there being a
marked Improvement over 1885, and the out
look for a good fall trade. say the manu-
facturers, Is very promising. Local indus
tries OF this class are running full time n
full handed. and in some departments
there has been a slight increase in wages

dealers In the city. says he never knew the

mand for low grade lumber 10 case furni-
rure and other goods. he states that mill

NO END TO NATURAL GAS
No TROUBLE ABOUT PRESSURE, SAYS
DIETERICH's INDIANA MANAGER.
james Murdoch, interviewed in New
York, Makes Unusually Frank
statements.

James Murdoch, of Lafayette, who has
charge of the Indiana and Ohio interests
of the Dieterich gas syndicate, is in New
York and has the following to say in the
hotel column Of the New York Tribune:
The consumption Of natural gas in the
West is increasing every day, instead of de-
creasing. We have done twice as large a
business in Indiana this year as We have
ever done before. Pressure? There is no
trouble about the pressure. In twelve years
It has only decreased from go pounds to
the square inch to go pounds. This may
be accounted for by the fact that new fields
are being constantly opened up. We could
get along on seventy pounds pressure If 1t
as yet that We will be called upon TO do So.
1t Is not a bit more likely that natural gas
will give out than ii is that the supply Of
coal will become exhausted. People are
learning to have more confidence in 1t all
the time. Our system is growing with re-
markable rapidly, and We never lose a Gus
toner. No, / don't believe the East will
ever be supplied with natural gas unless
fields should be discovered in Pennsylvania
or some other neighboring State. The cost
of piping Ii from Indiana or Ohio, even If
it were possible to do SO, would be too great
TO permit of its use by the general public
State Geologist Blatchley says the supply
Of natural gas will be exhausted within
three years, but that the coal supply in In
diana is good for LOCO years. Mr.. Murdoch
is quoted as saying it is not more likely the
supply of gas will give out than that the
supply OF coal will become exhausted. He
also says 1--WE can get along on seventy
pounds pressure" Mr.. Blatchley claims
gas wells "go dead under 40 pounds pres
sure.
Mr.. Murdock's interview heightens inter-
est in the situation here. where the Diete-
rich syndicate has been claiming the gas
supply is falling. There was considerable
comment yesterday on the interview IN the
Journal with City Attorney Kern. in which
the opinion was expressed that the princi-
pal reason the companies failed to supply
the city with sufficient natural gas was be-
cause the mains, constructed when gas first
appeared, are too small TO carry an ade-
uuate SuDply.

A blue rose has long been the desire OF
those who, in their appreciation or mowers,
place a higher value upon mere novelty
than upon perfection of form, beautiful COL
oring and delightful fragrance, but the
Gardeners Magazine does not credit the
report that his treasure has at last been
found in Bulgaria. Our horticulturist con-
temporary has been told often IN the course
of the last quarter of a century that the
blue rose has made its appearance, and has
seen plants of what his friends assured him
were those of the veritable black rose, put
when the season of Towering arrived the
only things that were black were the looks
of the owners, who were naturally vexed
that they should have wasted their money
and made themselves objects of ridicule. In
the case of the blue rose he had not even
been able to catch a glimpse of a plant
bearing blue flowers, nor has anyone stated
that he has seen either flowers or plants.
The Bulgarian blue roses would appear
closely to resemble the chameleon. which
frequently changes color in the eye of the
observer, for in one case they are reported
TO be of a beautiful azure blue and in an
other they are said to be of a greenish blue.

A Good Piece OF Masonry.
New York Letter.


When James Harper was mayor of New
York city fifty years ago the Croton aque-
duct, then looked upon as one of the great
est Of American wonders, was completed and
the water turned into the great reservoir at
Forty-second street and Fifth avenue. The
reservoir has long been abandoned, the city
having grown far beyond its capacity. but
1t has stood like a monument to the early
engineering triumphs Of New York. With
In a few days the contractors have begun
the work of tearing it down, for on Its site
Is to be erected the new Tilden-Lenox-
Aston library building. The contractors bad
not been twenty-four hours at work before
they discovered the difference between
modern masonry and that of the earlier day.
Works put up at n time in the past
twenty years could have been easily torn
dow with the pick, lever and derrick. But
the pick and lever made no more impression
upon this masonry than it would upon the
Palisades. Nothing but dynamite was able
to tear down what the earlier masons put
up. Therefore, the contractors have been
compelled to blast away this masonry as
though it were natural rock, unseamed. and
not mans handiwork. 1t stands revealed a
fine tribute to the honesty and thoroughness
of the masons who did New York's work
nifty years ago.

Mr.. HAGGARD'S CANDIDACY.

city recently and announced that, so far as
the Tenth district was concerned, he would
receive the nomination for the next COVER
norship. When asked what had become Of
the boom of Charles E. Wilson, the Lieu
tenant Governor said that the Republicans
Of Tippecanoe county had some sort Of an
understanding by which Mr.. Wilson would
not be in the fight at the finish. Mr.. Hag-
gard also said that the candidacy of Charles
F. Griffin, OF Hammond, was not 70 be
taken seriously, as he did not think Mr..
Griffin would go further than to sound his
friends as to his chances. He thought that
the real fight would be between Senator
Hogate. Frank B. Posey and himself. with
Mr.. Posey as the dangerous opponent. Mr..
Haggard intends to visit the Republicans of
Lake, Porter and Laporte counties, in the
near future. with a view to securing their
support to his candidacy.
