separator cream, is to teach them that
the day they go down to do their
weeks shopping is not often enough
is another case where some of the
separator statesmen are at fault. They
have told the purchasers of hand sep
arators that once or twice every ten
days is often enough to take their
cream to the factory. AS l said before,
every hour that cream and milk are
left in the hands of suppliers (nOw,
don't mean all suppliers, for there are
exceptions), just so much will it de-
teriorate, and my instructions to those
500 suppliers would be, to deliver their
cream four times week in winter
and every day during the summer. l
am of the opinion that it is as diff
cult for the suppliers to keep their
cream in good condition in winter as
in summer, for the reason that many
of them have no suitable place to keep
it. even in the cold weather
To condense all these lessons into
few words, you have got to teach
your suppliers three things.
First, cleanliness in the handling of
the milk and separators.
Second, temperatures of the cream
after it is separated.
Third-most important of all-quick
daily delivery to the factory.
The factory people who are in the
business, know that to mix the night
and mornings milk together, if one
lot is warm, njures the whole amount
Many of the factory suppliers do not
realize that this applies to cream also.
Many of them will separate the morn
ing's cream into the can containing
the cold cream from the night before,
cream is injured.
The mornings cream should always
be kept separate until thoroughly
cooled; after that it can be mixed
with no danger.
Let us build up the quality of our
butter.
Let us have quality first and all the
time, and quantity next.
If the hand separator system will
build up quality, then let us help it
along; if it does not, then drop it.
The last will not be necessary, for
if it does not produce quality, then
the system will go down without any
assistance. But l am not of the opin-
ion that it will go down; it rests with
the suppliers of the factory, and manu-
facturers of butter.
Their responsibilities are great, and
many discouraging clouds will rise
before the sky is clear, but we
believe the clouds will be driven back
in good time

THE FARM SEPARATOR SYSTEM.


the one who owns and operates the
machine and the one who buys and
manufactures his cream into butter.
Some people argue that the suppliers
should be better able to take care of
the cream from hand separator than
the whole of the milk from which
this cream is taken. This possibly
may be correct in theory, but practice
does not prove it. The same attention
given to the cream from hand ma
chine will not keep it in as good con-
dition as the same attention given
to the whole milk. The cream needs
as good or better care than does the
milk 1t needs to be churned just as
quick as it is drawn from the COW, as
cream separated at the factory. Or
as we find with the whole milk sys-
TEN, the shortest time it is left in the
hands of the suppliers the better it
will be for the grade of butter.
If today l wish to start out to in
assured by the 500 suppliers in a given
territory that they would conform to
any rules which l might promulgate,
put up factory that would be pat
tern of neatness This would be an
object lesson to the milk producer.
There are too many factory owners
who do not set good example to
their suppliers in a matter of cleanli-
ness.
Their second lesson would be on
oh in,
struct them to buy 500 hand machines.
and the 500 machines would be bought
of the firm that sold the best ones,
and the test should be, light running,
durability, simplicity and close skim
mers. Price would not count, but the
machine would have to be perfect;
these conditions are filled by machines
already on the market
The third instruction would be on
the care of the hand machines. They
should be taught the mechanism of
the separator, how to take it apart,
and put it together right, and espe-
cially how to keep the wearing parts
and gearing clean. Something which
many expert buttermakers have still
to learn.
Fourthly, they should be instructed
in the handling of the milk in the
way of cleanliness and the impor-
lance of separating the milk just as
fast as it is drawn from the cow, and
the skinned milk fed to the calves
or pigs just as fast as it is drawn
from the separator. They should re-
ceive instructions on how to aerate
the cream and the method would be
very simple. Merely taking it out in
the pure air and pouring it slowly
from one can to the other.
The fifth lesson would be one of i'm
portance; if a fancy article of butter
was expected this would be to lower
the temperature of the cream to so
F. Immediately.
The sixth lesson would be to in
struct the farmers wives how to wash
the separators. They should be in
structed to wash them twice a day,
and the bowl taken apart each time.
even if it did contain fifty pieces.
There is no separator on the market,
big or little, that cannot be washed in
fifteen minutes at the outside: this

The Coliseum Banauet.

The Coliseum banquet last night was
highly successful affair. The idea of in
augurating large enterprises under the in
spiration generated by the gathering of
congenial spirits around well-filled board
is approved by long experience. Many an
enterprise of great pith and moment has
had its origin at dinner. 1t was happy
thought of the promoters of the Coliseum
project to bring together as many as prac-
ticable of those who it was thought would
favor the project, and to give their indi-
vidual opinions the weight of combination
and the projectile force of hearty express
sion. The result was an Endorsement of
the project that almost insures its success
from the start, and the Journal believes
that when it is fairly understood 1t will be
as cordially Endorsed by the community at
gether to discuss it last night. A structure
of the kind proposed will be great thing
for Indianapolis With the wonderful
advances the city has made during the dast
few years, and even during the last few
months: with the greatest interurban rail-
way system in the country. the greatest
traction terminal station. and with a ma
tional technical school and an army post as
sured. there is nothing else In sight that
will contribute as much to the cosmo-
politan advantages of the city as a great
building that will accommodate the largest
conventions, the most spectacular shows
and the grandest expositions of all
kinds The number of such things is in
creasing. and they are constantly seeking
a suitable and convenient place to meet.
Indianapolis possesses every advantage ex-
cept the essential one of vast and COM
modous building. The one thing needful
must be supplied, and a Coliseum will do
it. 1t has proved a great thing for Kansas
City, but it will prove a greater thing for
this city because it is more centrally 10
Gated and more accessible from all parts of
the country. AS such a building will d.
rectly or indirectly benefit all classes of
citizens, all should be given a chance to
assist in its construction, and every person
who takes a dollars worth of stock should
be permitted to feel that he has become a
joint proprietor in one of the city's most
distinctive features. The movement that
was so auspiciously and successfully
| launched last night should be taken up by
the people and carried forward to sue
cess in which all may take equal pride.

MAJOR GLENN'S DEFENSE
PRESENCE OF WITNESSES FROM
AMERICA URGED AS NECESSARY.
Counsel for the Major Still Anxious to
Secure the Testimony of Messrs.
Chaffee, Smith and COnklin.

MANILA, Jan. 6.-When the trial by
court-martial of Maj. Edwin F. Glenn, of
the Fifth Infantry, on the formal charge
of unlawfully and wilfully killing seven
prisoners of war, to the prejudice of good
order and military discipline and in viola
ton of the sixty-second article of war,
was resumed here to-day the defense re-
newed it's request that Generals Chaffee
and Smith and other witnesses be sum-
moned from the United States. The court
refused this request for the present.
The argument to-day developed certain
sensational features. In opening, the de-
tense announced that it had declined to
submit the interrogatories for dispositions
ordered by Secretary of War Root. on the
ground that the question of summoning
witnesses rested with the court, and sub
mitted a written argument urging the
right and justice of having witnesses 1t
was charged by the defense that the rec
ords of the Sixth Brigade commanded by
General Smith, had been tempered with
and That important documents had been
distracted. The defense wished to examine
General Smith as to the documents and
certain written and verbal orders for the
purpose of showing the character of the
campaign General Smith desired to have
waged. General Chaffee was wanted as a
witness for the purpose of obtaining GER
tain orders and documents which were not
recorded at division headquarters. 1t was
also declared in the argument that Gen.
Chaffee had sent telegram to the De-
partment of Southern Luzon where Ca
balles's force was operating clad in Ameri-
can uniforms. The text of this telegram
is given as follows: THE division COM
mander directs that no matter what meas
ureS be adopted, information as to the
whereabouts of this force must be OBJ
tanned"
The defense argued that this order was
authority for the application of the water
cure, and said that officers in the field so
interpreted it. If this Interpretation was
was entitled to the opportunity to show
why he had failed to interfere to prevent
the courtmartialing of officers for execut-
ing the order.
The defense produced a copy of a tele-
gram sent by Secretary Root to General
Chaffee when the former thought Major
Glenn's trial for applying the water cure
would take place in San Francisco and in
which General Chaffee was directed to
send to San Francisco any witnesses Major
Glenn desired. The defense pointed out
| that when this message sent war ex-
| listed, but now peace prevails and asked
| why this policy had been changed, why il
| was incompatible with the public interest
| to send General Smith, now retired, and
| j. Roscoe Conklin, civilian, to Manila

Bids for Big War Ships.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-Bids for build
ing 100000 worth of warships were opened
at the Navy Department to-day in the pres
ence of the representatives of nearly every
ship-building concern of note in the country
together with a host of sub-contractors who
supply structural material for the big ships.
The bidding was close and exciting. A fea-
ture of the event was the submission of
proposition to supply the enormous horse
power required 10 drive the Tennessee and
Washington, the speediest ships of war the
United States navy will carry on its lists
with the new turbine motors, the latter to

effect that they had satisfied themselves
that no less than 5000 horse power would
be required to drive the big ships at the
calculated speed. thus verifying the esti-
mates of Engineer-in-Chief Melville. The

SPEECHES BY SENATORS.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-The day in the
Senate was eventful because of a notable
speech by Senator Hoar on his bill regulat-
ing trusts, and an attack by Senator Vest
on protected industries through the opera
ton of the Dingley law. Senator Hoar's
utterances were listened to with marked at
tention- He said that nearly all thoughtful
men in this country are agreed that some
legislation. state or national, ought to be
had for the regulation and control of what
are called trusts and of large masses of
capital accumulated by corporations or ar
tificial persons holding property and con-
Quoting business without individual liabil-
ity. There was, he said. a general feeling of
insecurity and alarm about the matter and
that We were dealing with a real peril and
not with fancy or imaginary danger. He
argued that If his bill should become law
and prove effective. no corporation engag-
ing in the commerce which is within the
jurisdiction of Congress can keep its condi-
ton a secret. The bill he said depends for
it's validity on the constitutional power of
Congress to regulate interna tional and in
terstate commerce. Should the bill not
prove effectual he contended that il would
be easy to extend its operations by impos-
ing like personal liability on every stock
holder.
