Cultures For Butter Making.

Cuxtufc0 FOE bUt0GT M8k1nRs
The chief factor in determining the
value of butter Is always the flavor,
says a correspondent Of The American
Agricultural. This is also the most
difficult thing to secure in practice. Re-
suits of investigations have shown that
the flavor Of butter whether good or
bad Is mostly result Of the fermenta-
lions which have taken place in the
cream. Feed Of the cows, kind Of
churn used or manner Of churning has
little effect on the flavor.
The lamentations are due to the
growth Of certain bacteria. Those that
cause bad results come mostly from
dirt and filth. They cause decay Of
the milk similar to the decay Of animal
or vegetable bodies, and the products
produced largely give the taints to
milk and the bad flavors to butter.
The fermentation which gives the good
butter flavor is a pure souring Of the
cream. The butter maker has it within
his power to make butter with almost
the same flavor the year round by OBJ
serving cleanliness and using good
starters to ripen the cream. In some
samples of butter shown ut the Iowa
stock breeders, convention, made from
combination of four kinds Of bacteria
used as a starter and representing the
common sources of contamination by
dirt, this butter was Judged to be worth
10 cents less per pound than another
sample made from portion Of the
same cream with the right kind Of fer
mentat:on.

w II the amount that the farmers Of
any state annually pay for foolsstax
could be txrned into the treasures Of
the states, counties ana road districts,
these treasures would be full and run
ming over and farmers would be paying
no taxes whatever. This fool tax, says
Wallace's Farmer, il paid in many
ways. We heard Of an instance the
other day. In certain district in
southern Iowa where beef, pork NUT
ton and horses are the chief animal
products and where grain ia sold for
shipment there is very we'll managed
creamery. 1t is doing fairly we'll, but
making only a moderate profit. A
creamery promoter struck this section
and persuaded lot of farmers who
have no special experience in handling
dairy cows and who have never read
up on the subject that by building an
other creamery they could get 20 per
cent more for cream than the present
creamery can afford to pay them.
These inexperienced men blew in &c.
500 for the purpose of building a
creamery which could have been con-
structed had there been need Of It for
81, 900 to $500 at the most. What will
happen in this neighborhood? The
milk supply will be somewhat increas-
ed, but not largely, and it will have to
be divided between two creameries.
The profits of the first will be dimin-
ished, the second will soon have a
mortgage on it and will be sold out in
a couple Of years by the sheriff. The
men who have invested their money in
1t will lose it and can properly charge
it up to fool tax. These new beginners
will find that they cannot secure at
first 300 pounds of butter per cow nor
$50 nor even 200 pounds and will prob
ably secure from 125 to $50 pounds.
new creamery nor the old one can pay
them any more than nor indeed as
much as they are paying now. They
have not only lost their money, but
they have injured the business and
made it more difficult than ever to con-
duct, dairying in that section at prof
It. If these men had spent small part
Of the interest, say per cent; on the
money they are putting into this new
creamery in procuring dairy literature,
had spent the time that they will de-
vote to the establishment of the new
creamery in studying this literature,
getting information otherwise and in
learning to feed calves by hand and
had spent the rest Of the interest in
buying good dairy cows and dairy
sires, they would have greatly added.
to the profits Of the creamery they
have now, would have advanced the
price of milk quite considerably and
laid the foundation for plenty of good
money In the future.

VT Proclamation. q ~ X A
WASHINGTON, July l8-Secretary Hay
has received an undated dispatch from
Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai
stating that the governor Of Honau
Shansi has issued a proclamation IA
vorable in its terms to tho Boxers
Honan Shansi is the province lying
Immediately northwest of Shanghai,
and between that city and Pekin.
Consul General Goodnow's short dis
patch represents all that the state OF
navy departments know of the devel.
opments in China within the last "a
hours. His news only goes to confirm
the belief that the situation in China il
steadily growing worse instead of bet
ter. The Honan Shansi referred to by
Mr.. Goodnow az the place where the
viceroy appears to favor the Boxers is
said at the state department to be actu.
ally two separate provinces Of vast ex'
tent, lying in the western and northern
portion Of China. Shansi, meaning
western island, is the province lying
directly west of Chill, in which Pekin
is located. Honan adjoins Shansi on
the south. The two might present an
almost impossible barrier if, as Mr..
Goodnow's dispatch indicates, they are
disafected and undertake to oppose the
northward march of the armies of Ii
Hung Chang and the other great south
ern viceroys, upon Pekin. No contirma-
ton has reached the state department
of the report from St. Petersburg of the

LONDON, July l6.-It seems impossible
to entertain any longer the least doubt
as to the fate Of the Europeans in Pc
kin. The Associated Press learns that
Lady Hart. wife Of Sir Robert Hart, d.
rector Of Chinese imperial maritime
customs on July s received the follow

"Our people, including the women,

the WORST
The European governments have re-.
ceived from their representatives at
Shanghai a dispatch from the governor
of Shan Tung, dated July Z, reporting
that the European troops made a sortie
from Pekin and killed 200 Of General
Ting Fuh Siang's forces and that the
Boxers were mounting guns to make a
breach in the defenses.
Under date of July -, the governor of
Shaug Tung wires as follows:
"Native soldiers and Boxers have
been attacking the legations for several
hours, but have not yet effected an en-
trance. They are now all bombarding
with large cannon to make breach for
a heavy onslaught. I fear that all the
ministers, and the government as we'll,
arc in great danger. The government
is intensely anxious.
Finally came the news from Shang.
hal that breach had been made and
the foreigners killed. All the dates
probably refer to a much earlier period,
but the presumption is that the success
sive dispatches give an outline of what
has happened. The Europeans having
reached the end of their resources made
q desperate sortie and then brayely met
their fate. The details Of the horrible
story will probably never be known.

WASHINGTON, July l6.-suoh news
Is came to Washington from China
was distinctly bad. 1t consisted Of 6
cablegram to Minister WI from Sheng
the imperial director Of posts and tele
graphs at Shanghai, and according tt
the minister was in reply to the urgent
message no himself had sent to that Of
fetal, asking him to try to secure some
news from the Chinese capital. This
cablegram Minister WI regarded as Of
sufficient importance to carry in person
directly to Secretary Hay, who was
waiting at his home for news. The
message as received from the ciphe,
was as follows:
"Pekin news Of July says that Gen.
eral Tuan Fuh Sien in disobedience of
imperial orders was about to use guns.
Legations and the government will be
in peril"
Corroborates Goodnow.
This news is corroborative of that
contained in q recent cablegram from
Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai,
although the consular generals dis.
patch give his Pekin news the date OF
tho 9Th saying that the final attack
upon the legations with guns was about
to begin on July Z. Aside from the
gloomy forecast given Of the end of the
terrible struggle of the legationers
against the inevitable, the significant
features of the message is the couplin g
of the fate of the imperial government
with that Of the foreign ministers.
Officials here get some satisfaction from
this portion of the dispatch as it sus.
tains them in the position they have
held from the first that the Chinese
government is not at war with Chris.
