TO CHANGE DIVISION
Lake City May Lose Division Head
quarters Of Northwestern.


Sioux City, Aug. IL. From advices re-
ceived in Sioux City yesterday it was
inferred that the Chicago & Northwest
tern railroad company had determined
to make its proposed re-arrangement of
the western Iowa division of its road
September 1. But the operating depart
ment is keeping to itself whatever
changes are to be made and there are no
new facts in this regard that have been
made public s
However, the general belief is that the
Sioux City and Pacific, not including the
line from California Junction to Free
mont, will become a part of the western
Iowa division and that it will be under
the Jurisdiction Of ii. r. Sanborn, the
present superintendent. Nothing has
been heard from headquarters recently
to indicate the headquarters of the de
vision will be removed from Lake City,
altho the general opinion of railroad
men is that this transfer of headquar-
ters will be made when the Centerville
link is constructed.
The Railway Age Of yesterday heard
that the Centerville extension (which
has been proposed for number OF
years is taking definite shape" and
adds: 1.-THE line will pass thru Plymouth
county, Iowa, and Union and Clay coun-
ties. South Dakota =

ition Of its main line. This will leave

struction Of the Neville branch and the

ABOUT sUI-rER MAKING.
An Instructive Bulletin issued From
Ames Experiment Station.

An Instructive Bulletin issued From
Ames Experiment Station.
Special to Times Republican,.
Ames Aug. Bulletin, No. SO, which
will soon be. Issued by the Iowa exper-
iment station, will treat, of dairy sub
jects exclusively, the most Important Of
these being archaeological study of
the college creamery milk supply For
several years the dairy department has
been making experiments in cream rip
ening and its relation to butter flavor.
In the course OF this work certain inn
portant facts have developed regarding
the causes of variation in quality of
butter from season to season. In the
summer conditions are such that the
milk ordinarily sours with a pure acid
taste. due to the large proportion of acid
bacteria present at that time. In the
winter, when the poorest quality of but
ter is made, this kind of fermentationis
present in much smaller quantities, and
most Of the milk shows disagreeable.
impure acid taste when fermehted, and
this condition extends to the Butter
made at that time.
One. Of the reasons OFTEN assigned for
the poor quality of butter made at
creameries during the winter is that the
milk is not delivered at the factory often
enough. This is undoubtedly condition
to be guarded against. but too much
weight should not be given this factor.
The number of bacteria found in milk
as brought to the creamery varies with
the temperature, season of the year, etc.
In the winter on an average each cubic
lcentimeter contains from one to five
millions. In the summer the same
amount of milk contains from fifteen to
thirty millions, altho these limits may
be passed either way. The few bacteria
found in the milk in the winter make 1t
possible to control the fermentation to a
large extent by the use of starters. Milk
brought to factory once in two days is
not necessarily injured in quality fol
butter making, and this can not be con-
sidered as the chief cause OF bad milk
| and poor butter in winter.

Sac City, Aug. 12.-The good rain here
night before last and two or three very
small showers before that have revived
things somewhat. There will be more
sweet corn than was expected so that
the canning factory will open for bust
ness for short time. AS to the yield
of other corn the recent rain has not al
tered the diversity of opinion. Some
say they will have no corn, some that
they will have ten to fifteen bushels to
the acre, while still others think and
say they will have from twenty to thirty
bushels to the acre

WALSH WON'T TAKE II.
His Candidate Is Ex-Mayor Phillips
of 0<%unnwa

His Candidate 10 Ex-Mayor Phillips
of Ottumwa.
Ottumwa, Aug. 12.-Charles "A. Walsh
says T. j. Phillips is the WapeIlo candi-
date for the democratic nomination for
governor. This remark was brought
about when Mr.. Walsh was asked as to
whether or not he had heard of the
plans his friends in his county had ar
ranged for him to be the next democrat
ic candidate for governor. Mr.. Walsh
says he is not candidate and could not
take the office IL he 80 desired. He says
he would appreciate the honor if 1t were
rendered him and If it were possible he
would be pleased to make the race, but
under conditions as they now presen,
themselves he could not think for mo-
ment of such thing.
Mr.. Walsh returned Saturday morning
from Des Moines, where he attended a
meeting Of the democratic state central
committee Friday. Among other Things
the committee approved the speech OF
Temporary Chairman Sharon Of Daven-
port, and transacted much other ante
convention business. Mr.. Sharon's
speech is expected to cause considerable
of commotion on the floor Of the con.
yention, as it is said not to contain {
mention of Bryan or silver. When asked
about what took place at the meeting
Mr.. Walsh had nothing to say. He
would not talk on the governorship mat
ter outside of the declaration concerning
himself and ex-Mayor Phillips.
Mr. Walsh says drst-class man will
be nominated. and that they will give
the republicans warm argument this
fall. He says the party will be united
and he infers that there will be no men,
ton of silver or Bryan, but that the
resolution will probably deal strictly
with state issues.
