THE TRANSCRIPT that de-.
nounees this treason to both
party and country, is as true to
its Republican principles as those
who uphold this infamy are false
to those principles. And We
warn those mad leaders that they
are riding to a fall, that will not

any hope of a resurrection the

THE FIRST CREAMERY

G. P. of Maiden Rock, Wis, is gather
ing history on creamsries and dairies. He
wishes to know when and where the first
creamery was opened in the United States
and in Wisconsin. Also when the first
cream separator was used.
The first creamery building in the world
was erected April 1872, atSpring Branch,
three and one.half miles from Manches-
ter, Ia. It was not q very pretentious
building; containing only two rooms, one
of which was utilized for storing milk in
pans, the other containing a churn and
Benefits butter worker. In this build
ing Mr.. NJ Van Deusen; the first cream
cry buttermaker in the world, manufac-
tured butter which commanded the high
est price on the New York market.
The real cream separator did not appear
on the market until 1879. During that
year two machines were perfected; one
was known as the Danish Waston, invent
ed in Denmark, the other, the DtIlaval,
invented in Sweden. Both OF these eepa
ratros we're hollow bowl machines. The
cream separator originated in 1854 when

cts revolving upon spindle.
Cheese was made right after the war by
g. W. Gould OF Elgin, H., and in 1855
he and David Hammond built a factory
on Gou'd's farm. In 1868 they built one 81
miles east of Elgin 10 which Mr.. A. Nolt.
ing took an interest and become the owner
in 1870 Several others sprung up in
these localities at about the same time.
Butter was made at some of these cheese
factor ;es, but just the exact date we can
not give. The Fret cheesemakeEs sold
cheese as high as is cents and not lower
than 121 cents. Creamery butter sold for
40 cents and over for several yeavs.
There is no record that we are aware
or that gives the time and ihep place where
the first creamery was established in Wis
consin. Possibly some Of our readers can
give Be some information on this subject.

Citizens OF MiddletoWn are you going
to swallow another dose of excessive
taxation? Are you going to just take it

been too long compelled to carry2 Town

with the Town Boards that after all the
money spent, there is no real improve

when they performed that wonderful
feat of engineering. | understand that
member OF that wonderful committee is
very indignant that criticism has been
made in regard TO the condition Of the
streets. I'm glad he is indignant per-

job. A live town has no room. for
antediluvians-we have two many as il
is. No fellow sufferers, there is no need to
keep in the same old rut; let's put new
men in who will take enough real inter-
est in our affairs to work to our interest,
not for any clique or set. We want men
who will have an opinion Of their own, as
we'll as decision of character who will do
the right thing according to the light
they have. Perhaps the present Board
will say they did the very best they
could with the light they had. Well, the
day Of the tallow dip has long since
passed, We are in the electrical age now.
Now my dear reader, there is no crouch
in this,-it is a most serious question to

It was a moist time in the

his captivating personality had
innocently-quite without know

Democratic members of the Hi
nois legislature to accept bribes in
the sum of $4,000 eachto violate at

And the bigger the Nun

willing credulity in explaining

proofs of Holy Writ" of his
rascalities, the more cnpiousll

is currently reported that old
Depew was unconsolable in his
grief and had his Dig cuspidor

Since David and Jonathan min.
