ONE OF LARGEST IN WORLD
mr. Mathis big Billiard Parior On
Congress ST.

Few people in Portland know that this
city may boast of having one of the iarg-
est and best equipped billiard parlors In
the country. There are four other bill
Hard halls which are as large or larger
but the Palace billiard hall OF which
Mr.. Mathis Is the proprietor is the larg-
est in New England and none have a
better equipment. The Palace billiard
hall Is located on the second floor OF the
building Mt the corner of Pearl and Con
gress streets. 1t has twenty of the finest
billiard tables made, two of which ara
of professional size. The tables are from
the factory of Goldman, Leavitt & Yatter
and represent an outlay Of 5000. This
hall Is handsomely furnished and the
tables are In constant use the most OF the
time. Those who have seen the immense
billiard hall at Green's hotel in Philadel-
phia. one of the biggest and finest in the
world, will be surprised to know that MIR.
Mathis's hall is almost as large and is
fitted up just as handsomely.
Tonight this magificent billiard hall
win be formally opened to the public and
a little later there will be an exhibition
here of Yatter and another professional bill
Hard player which will be the greatest
event of the kind Portland has ever
known.

While the milkroom should be we'll
ventilated those who still use the open
pans should be careful that there is not
a direct current Of air blowing over
the pans, says The American Cultiva-
tor. There are two reasons for this.
The outside air is not pure and sweet.
It may be laden with dust or it may
bear with it odors which are not de-
sirable in the butter or bacteria that
will produce bad flavors or early de-
cay. But even If the air is all right it
toughens the surface of the cream so
that in churning it does not break with
the rest. but either goes away in the
buttermilk or mixes into the butter,
usually most of it doing the latter. and
then the butter is filed with white
specks which are simply sour cream
that will not only impart an undesira-
BILE taste to the butter. but cause it to
become rancid very quickly. We learn
ed this by a little unpleasant expert
ence Of our own many years ago. as
we have learned some other things. and
we advise our friends to be warned
before they have to pay for the lesson.
One may remove these particles Of
tough cream by straining the whole
through a fine sieve. but it is easier not
to have them. Place screen between
the window and the milk shelves if it
is necessary to open the windows to
cool or ventilate the room.

A Self Smoking Cow.

Being for some time puzzled at the
variation of the quantity of milk of
one of my COWS, came to the cOnclu-
sion that she was holding the same or
that she had acquired the habit of
sucking herself So | set to work to
devise means to check the latter should
that be the case, having failed in one
or two devices to detect the falling.
Necessity being still the mother of in
vention, and especially so in Manitoba,
where the needful is not always to
hand, again set to work to imprOv.Se
a cOntrivance out of existing materials.
Securing two lengths of small cord,
also six pieces of round, light wood
about II inches long and ~ inches in
diameter, bored three-eighths of an
inch holes at each end of the sticks !;
then. having tied a knot at one end of
the rope, I threaded on the sticks. l
bored lengthwise through the center
of the shorter sticks to thread between
the longer sticks. I knotted the cord
ing the same across the cows neck
(having regulated the knots and sticks
to suit the small of the neck and also
the shoulder), | tied the end of the
cords around the first knot.
This device prevents the cow from
reaching her tanks. and in my case
has stopped the failing and will save
quite few pounds of butte-.--A. Pass

nsi1r1 and Disease Germs.

Professor w III. Conn of Connect
cut. writing in The American Agricul-
turist. says: One class of bacteria pro-
ducing human disease passes directly
from sick COWS into the milk. Tuber-
culosis is an example Of this class,
and tuberculous COW may, under GER
tain circumstances, cOntaminate her
milk with the tubercle bacillus; but
this seldom occurs unless the disease
has attacked the udder, or unless it has
reached it's last stages. These bacilli
NAV give rise to the disease in a hui
man being if the milk is used. 1t may
occasionally happen that scarlet fever
and diphtheria arise from milk con-
taminated with the germs Of these dis
eases.
In another class Of diseases the
germs find their way into the milk
from some outside source. Typhoid
fever is a most common example OF
this class. The germ grows with great
readiness in milk, and if few Of them
get into milk supply they may null
tiply so rapidly as to distribute the dis
ease over a whole community and pro-
duce an epidemic. The milk may be
contaminated by handling the milk or
milk cans by those who have come in
contact with the disease. Impure wa
ter is a more common source of con-
tamination On milk farms where
there has been q case of typhoid fever
boiled water only should be used for
rinsing the milk cans.
In summer it sometimes happens
that bowel diseases are produced by
abundance of bacteria in milk. The
preventives are cleanliness and low
temperature. Beyond much doubt a
considerable part of the bowel dis
eases, especially of children, is directly
traceable to milk coming from cows
with infamed or diseased udders.
In general, if the dairyman wishes to
avoid danger of distributing disease in
his milk, he must adopt four rules:
Never allow milk to enter the milk
supply if it comes from an animal suf-
fering from any kind of a diseased I'd
der; never allow any person having
any contact with or recovering from
typhoid fever scarlet fever or diph-
liberia to have anything to do with the
dairy: always insist upon cleanliness
in dairy matters and the application
growth; rinse the cans with water
from reliable sources or with boiled
water.

Slip the wires through the scantling
far enough to turn the ends back and
tightly twist about it's own wire and
make it secure. Now fasten down this
finished end so it cannot slip and put
the other scantling across the wire
where it will be the outside circumfer-
ence of the silo from the other.
Cut the wires close to the scantling
and fasten them the same as the other,
using enough of the wire SO that when

10 inches of reaching each other.
Have two bolts made of inch rod 20
inches long, with secure head and the

and use large washers SO that neither
bolt head nor burs will cut the wood,

OILY GUTTER.
Ingredients and Conditions Tha,
Make Butter Soft


A condition from which the bUtter
might be termed "oily" may come from
several different causes, says G. =,
Smith in The Rural New Yorker. Tie
principal oils going to make up normal
butter fat are olein, about 40 per cent.
Stearin and palms tine, about 80 per
cent. Olein is the factor which tends
point being considerably below that Of
normal butter, while stearin and pal
matine are the factors tending to make
it hard, the melting point being con-
siderably above that of normal butter
The combination of the two in the
above proportions makes butter with q
good texture. When from any cause
there is an excess of either one, then
we have butter either too hard or too
soft. When the COW comes fresh in
milk there appears to be a considerably
larger proportion of the easier liquefy-
ing fats, the butter being quite soft; as
she advances in lactation the butter
gradually becomes more solid, and at
the latter end Of the period becomes
quite hard. Certain foods appear to
have a tendency to change the texture
of the butter, clover, oilmeal and that
class Of foods making it soft, while
cottonseed meal, timothy hay, corn
stalks, ETC., have the opposite effect.
When the COW fresh in milk is put on
the clover pasture it requires extra
skill to avoid an oily condition in the
butter, while if she had cornstalks and
cottonseed meal it would help ma
terialIy in making the butter hard.
The way the cream is obtained has
a marked effect on the butter, other
conditions being equal. When the
milk is drawn fro;.1 the COW the fat
is liquid. If the cream is raised in
pans in a cool cellar, Or by submerging
the milk in cold water the usual time
for gravity creaming, the fat becomes
thoroughly solicited, and there is very
little trouble with oily butter. If, on
the other hand, the cream is secured
by using q centrifugal separator and
the cream never cooled below So to 60
degrees f., the fat is not as thorough
ly solidified, and the result is oily but
ter Oily butter may come from the
action of bacteria, but it is not usual.

Successful Butter Making.

The first and foremost essential is
absolute cleanliness, and this applies
to the COW stable, the milk pals, milk
pans and all other utensils, the milk
room. etc., says correspondent Of the
Ohio Farmer. When the milk is
brought in, strain it as soon as posi-
BILE, filling each milk pan half full. If
the milkroom is very near the kitchen
or other living rooms, place newspa-
pers over the pans to keep out the dust.
Do not break into the cream if it can
be avoided and do not let the milk go
over three days without skimming.
Put the cream in a large stone jar and
mix it over we'll each time fresh cream
is added. Keep the dish in a rather
warm situation if possible. Sixty de-
grees f. is about right. Empty into
after the churn has become half filed
churn the cream into butter. In cold
weather the process may be quickened
by setting the churn and all in dish
pan Of hot water. In churning let the
strokes be firm and even and do not
leave off until the butter has come.
The butter should be gathered in g
wooden bowl and quickly worked over
to dissolve the salt and eliminate the
buttermilk. Then it may stand for a
few hours, when it should receive it's
final working over A few dipperfuls
of cold water should next be added to
help dissolve the salt and to get the
butter into shape for packing. The
main point of mixing the butter is to
make it Of a good consistency for put
ting in the jars. 1t should not be work
ed over too long or the salt grains will
cut the globules, thus making it sticky.
Butter should be worked over at a
temperature of about 60 degrees.
