MAKING THE BUTTER.
The process through which milk
passes In its progress towsrd butter
is an interesting one and the ample
accommodations in the Belle Syringe
fine building are so we'll arranged as
to make itall seem very simple.
~ After the milk is brought in and,
run through the separator which
divides the milk from the cream, the
latter is weighed and sample taken
for testing and it goes to the pas
tuerizer, which purifies it Of germs.
and then to the copler. With primi- |
tive methods the trouble would only |
be begun at this stage because as
every one kno ws, who knows anything
about butter making, cream in order
to be ready to churn must be just SO
sour. There is great deal Of vexa-
lion caused 10 every small dairy BY
cream that Is too sour or not sour
enough. It is brought to just the
proper degree Of acidity at the cream

Is "starter." There are vats Of |

rRoGREss OF THE INDUSTRY.
In the beginning Of the creamery
industry In the west the milk was.
brought to the stations in cans, in
late years only the cream is so taken
in most instances. The hand separa-
tor is being used great deal and the
farmer takes one or two cans OF
cream IN his buggy where be former
ly took dozen or two cans Of milk.
So the modern creamery receives both
milk and cream at Its doors. The
Belle Springs receives only cream
from its 40 stations outside the cen.
tral one. This 10 shipped here by sx-
press and truck loads Of cans are seen
at the depot daily ready for shipment
or being received by express. The
sight has grown common to Abilene
ties but 1t is an interesting one to-
visitors, These are the stations from
which the Belle Springs receives milk

ciate the tremendous strides which
have been made in the dairy industry

show that the number OF mich COWS

1899 would have paid all the state,

An interesting demonstration of the
intelligence of the ant was made by a
student in the biological department. of
the University of Pennsylvania. The
young man constructed Il roadway two
feet in length of metal and divided it
into two parallel paths, separated by a
high partition. One of the paths he
painted red and the other blue, and at
their end, in plain view, he put NOR
sci of rich cake, says the Philadelphia
Record. Then he set an ant at the be-
ginning of the roadway. The ant at
once made for the cake over the red
path, whereupon the student turned on
a lamp under his mechanism and heat
ed the path to an uncomfortable de-
gree. The ant kept on and finally Sc
cured the cake, but on it's return it
must have told itself that it had had a
mighty uncomfortable journey. Several
hours later the student brought it out
again, another morsel of cake being set
at the end of the roadway. The ant
thought moment and then started for
the cake over the blue path. 1t re-
membered that the red one had been
hot. 70 prove still more conclusively
that it remembered, the student next
blocked up the blue path, whereupon
the ant did without the cake rather
than venture after it by the red one.

Curiosities of Words.

There are two words in the whole
range of the English language contain
ing all the vowels in their regular or
der. They are abstemious and facetious.
The following words each have them
in irregular order: Authoritative, dis
advantageous, encouraging, efficacious,
instantaneous, importunate, menda-
cious, nefarious, precarious, pertina-
cious, sacrilegious, simultaneous, tena-
cious, unintentional, unobjectionable,
unequivocal, undiscoverable and vexa-
tious. A search through the dictionary
might bring several others to light. 1t
is usually said that there are but seven
nine lettered monosyllabic words In the
English language-scratched, stretched,
scrunched, scranched, screeched,
squelched and staunched.
