STILL USE DASHER CHURNS.
Even in this Day of Creameries, But
ter Is Made in the Good Old
Fashioned Way.

The chances are ten to one or better
that the butter you buy at the grocery
store now was made in a creamery, for
the great bulk of the butter consumed
in this country is made in milk estab-
lishments. But there is still some but
ter made by hand. and I'VE still sell
churns right along"
The greater number of the individ-
ual churns now sold, said a churn
manufacturer in Chicago recently, in
speaking of the growth of the cream
cry business, are of the cylinder type,
operated by a crank, turning within
the churn a wheel with paddles, some
times like the paddlewheel of steam
boat; but we still sell as well, churns
of the old-fashioned type, such as our
grandmothers used, and such as their
grandmothers used before them. l
might add that the old-fashioned
dasher churn is still, as it has always
been, painted blue.
Who still buys these old styles hand
churns in the day of machine-made
butter? Why, so to speak. the oldest
people, and the most modern, too.
They are bought by small farmers
keeping only one or a few cows, who
naturally continue to make their own
The Breckenridge news., 1906-05-16

butter, and who make it, of course,
with a hand churn. Some of these
farmers might make more butter than
they would require for their own use;
and the surplus they would sell, as
they would their surplus eggs, to the
country store.
And you find larger farmers, too,
farmers perhaps keeping many cows
and selling the bulk of their milk to
a creamery, still continuing to make
the butter that they need for them
selves and making it, as they have al
ways done, in hand churn.
Such churns are sold to people liv-
ing in suburban or country homes and
keeping cows, who make their own
butter because they prefer to, anyway,
and they are bought by various people
everywhere who want sweet or un-
salted butter and who make it for
themselves in hand churns.
America exports churns to the West
Indies and South America and to New
Zealand and Australia and to dairying
countries in various other parts of the
WORLD but we still supply our own
people with the old-fashioned dasher
as we did twenty years ago.

battery boys?"
No." said Sergeant Wright, che nev-
er did. l understand dogs, and | know
that our dog Joe died of broken heart
at Fort Stevens, at the mouth of the
Columbia, and we gave him a sort of
informal military funeral and buried
him where the moaning of the bar is
always heard.
There had been a battle near the
Yellowstone, and the Nez Perces had
gradually had to give way and retreat
as the dusk drew down to hide the
damage of the day. But all the war
riors did not go. Among the rocks up
the canon, nine of them lay in one
heap, seven in another, at rest at last.
Four dogs were there doing the Casa
blanca act, and a soldier lassoed one
of them in form and color like a fox,
and brought him into camp.
Joe was the name given him, and
day after day he was led by some mem
Der OF the company until the long fif-
een-hundredmile march was ended
He tolerated the portion of the rations
handed him. but never smiled in re-
turn, and merely ate to live. He con-
formed to constituted authority as a
matter of common sense, and on the
long steamboat trip down the Missouri
to Omaha, across by rail to the Pacific
and up the coast to Oregon, he was the
same dignified dog, always with an ear
askance, anticipating the footstep of
his Indian comrade.
But it never came.
No soldier had learned to love him,
but all respected him for fidelity to his
dead master.

LEGISLA-
TION.

The Committee on immigration of
the House of Representatives has re-
ported a bill raising the head tax on
aliens from 50 to S5, requiring each
male adult to possess not less than $25
and each female SIS, providing that
every immigrant over 16 years shall
be able to read and write in some Ian
guage, and placing in the excluded
class imbeciles, the weak-minded and
manual laborers Of poor physique. The
Department of Commerce and Labor
is given discretion to admit or exclude
immigrants under 16 years of age
coming to this country alone. The
proposed law, it is stated, would sift
out good many undesirable persons.

A SUBSTANTIAL ROAD GATE.

OF the country to use posts made of
iron or concrete, even as is now done
in many places.
An essential feature of a rail fence
is a comparatively short panel, but
now that wire Is, in the majority OF
cases, taking the place of the rail, 1t
is questionable whether as many posts
are necessary as was the case when
rail were used. Recent tests were made
at an English experiment station to de-
termine upon the best method of con-
structing fence. One point considered
was whether a fence constructed with
a dropper is as efficient and durable
as one constructed entirely with posts.
A second point under consideration was
the minimum number of posts required
in the construction of an efficient and
durable fence when drOppers are used
and the character of the drOpper re-
Quired for best results. The drOpper is
thin vertical brace used to strengthen
the stretch of wire between posts. As
metal is admittedly more durable than
wood, an endeavOr was made to obtain
a suitable rigid metal drOpper but with
out success.
NOTCH THE CORNER POSTS LOW.
An error that farmers sometimes
make in erecting a fence is that they
place the corner supports or struts too
near the top of the post, and cOnse-
Quently at too great an.angle with the
line of the fence, so that when the wires
are stretched tightly the post is pulled
out of the ground, notwithstanding
that huge powders are piled against
the post or hung on it, in an endeavor
TO keep il in the ground. One fence
which has been found to prove very
satisfactory consists of square posts
and top rail. with three or four rows
OF plain wire fastened on the outside
edges OF the post. instead of through
holes bored in the uprights. To these
wires is fastened ordinary poultry net
ting with. say, an inch and a-half or
two-inch mesh This netting may be
strained very tight and will lie as fiat
as a board, the appearance of the fence
being thereby greatly improved.
While the use of barb-wire in the
construction of fences is regretted ow-
ing TO the injury which it sometimes
inflicts upon the live stock, there is no
doubt that its employment under GER
tain conditions prolongs the life of a
fence, deterring stock from rubbing
against it and unduly straining the
plain wires. 1t has been argued that
stock soon get to understand how dan
The Breckenridge news., 1906-05-16

The depletion of the timber lot and
the gradual decrease in the supply OF
lumber with the consequent increase
in the cost of wood, make the erection
of fences on the farm a matter of con-
cern, for the landholder heretofore has
looked upon wood as a proper material
for the construction of an effective
fence. Metal-that is, fence wire-has
almost entirely replaced the rails which
at one time were considered necessary
to make a fence stock-proOf. We still
find. however, that timber is, in most
localities, the cheapest material for
fence posts, though the supply avail
able is becoming scarcer each year,
and it is possible that in the future

gerous barb-wire is, and when in a
quiet condition are rarely injured by
it; but once excited by panic or play
they forget its danger and often suffer
In consequence. While there may be
some styles of woven fence which will
enable the farmer to discontinue barb
wire. the new material must have suf-
ficient elasticity to recover from occa-
sional very severe and unusual strains
and also sufficient to respond to our
varied conditions of heat and cold, and
so require no straining after its erec-

Is possible to obtain from them fences
constructed entirely of metal at small
cost.
While the unprogressive farmer is
content to have a few bars to let down
in order to admit of the passage of
teams or wagons, no fence is complete
without an entrance, and therefore
without a gate, for at best bars are
only maaeshifts and a loss of both
time and temper. 1t is surprising how
common they are when excellent and
serviceable light gates can now be pur-
chased very cheaply and even where
the lack of money is an obstacle to this

quite separate and distinct from any
posts used in the construction of the
fence, as a better effect is obtained
without additional trouble if they are
slightly higher than the uprights in
the gate and higher than the fence
posts adjoining the gateway. The
main entrance to the farm and also the
gateways around the dwelling may be
still further improved if little addi-
tional trouble is taken to square the
gate posts and round off the tops.
No gate can be said to be finished
until it is painted. for not only does
painting aid in giving a tidy appear

Attorney John A. Jeffery this after.

sentence to be hanged tomorrow for
having killed Alice Minthoru, March

fiery being given until July 25 to ap.
peal the case to the supreme court.
The chief contention made by Mr..
Jeffery for a new trial is that the
court erred in admitting the testimony
of Miss Julia Maxwell in Blodgett s
trial in the circuit court in April. Miss
Maxwell read from shorthand notes
taken during an alleged confession of
the prisoner made shortly after he was
arrested 1t was held that this testi.
mony of Miss Maxwell was merely
heresay evidence. An affidavit signed
by Blcdgett appears with the motion.
This closes as follows:
