The Weighing of Milk and the - Temerature Maintained. ; The Press for some time has been advocating the establishment of a creamery in Athena; arid from a number of farmers it has received encouragement in the, qtand the paper has taken in the matter i. e. that & creamerywoold pay here and be a great beneht to our farm ers. .The following? article, taken from a Pullman, (Wash.) paper, is descriptive of the .Washington agricultural college school: 6 -'A reporter of the Pullman Tri- bune has visited the Washington agricultural college' school now in session and makes some interesting observations. . i , "The dairy building is situated a few rods east arid south of the res ervoir, and is supplied with artesian water. It is only a few rods from the large main that drains the col lege farm," and has a complete drainage system connecting it with this main." 1 he cost of the build ing was about $1500, and its equip ment About the same amount. It is situated on a gentle -slope which makes the gravity plan upon which it is constructed, very convenient. It is so constructed that the milk may flow from from each piece of apparatus to the next in succession, without havinii to be lifted, except in the case of the skim milk, which is lifted by a steam pump. On the upper side of the building is a plat form upon which the milk cans are unloaded.- The milk is then poured from the cans into the large weigh can. The weigh-room is about six by eight feet; a set of shelves upon the w ill hold a number of p'nt jars, each of which is set apart for a patron. When a patron's milk is weighed, a sample of it is taken by means of a Scoville milk sampler, and is placed in a jar apart for that patron. Borne poison is put in these jars to keep the milk from blabbering. Each day a sample of the milk brought in by this patron, is added to the former samples, and at the end of. -the week, this mixed, or composite sample is tested for butterfaU ? The per cent, of fat in this sample: multiplied by the number pi "pounds of milk de livered 'shows the 4 number v'6f pounds pf butterfat the patron has furnished during the week," ;The amount of milk brought in 'daily brought in daily by each patron i is kept on a ruled sheet on the wall near the weigh-can. , "After weighing, the milk is con ducted, by means of a tin pipe passing through the wall of the weigh room, to the large " receiving. vat on a platform lour leet lower than the floor of the weighing-room. From this rat it flows by mears of an automatic governor into a small tin, heater-vat, which has "team connections. In this vat the milk is heated to a temperature of 85 degrees. From here it flows through an automatic valve into the separator where the cream is re moved from it. - The. cream then flows from the separator over the cream cooler, into the large double cream vat where it remains until ready to churn. The skim milk flows into a large can, from which it is lifted by means of the rteam pump before mentioned, and carried to the skim milk tank in the upper part of the butter-room, and is at the same time heated to a tempera ture of about 165 degrees. It is thus heated in order to kill the bacteria in it, and thus prevent it from souring. It is removed from this tank by the patrons a needed, each one being given about 75 pounds of skim milk for each 100 pounds of milk delivered. Xhe cream after haying been refined to the proper degree is allowed to flow through the wall between the cream room , and the butter rooov by means of another tin pipe into the churn which is on a still lower level. - ' '.-''' "The churn is of cedar and has a capacity of 300 gallons. The tern ncrature at which the cream is churned varies from 50 degrees to 52 deerees. Butter churned at this low temperature comes from the churn verv free from buttermilk which renders very little working necessary, and adds greatly to its keeping qualities. After being salted, an ounce to the pound, the butter is worked lightly to incor porate the halt into it and is then placed in cold storage till the next day, when it is removed, worked lightly again, moulded into heat one-pound bricks (a little more than a pound to the brick) wrapped in specially prepared parchment paper, put away in cold rtorage to wait the order of the epicure who can afford the luxury of pure, w holesome butter. "People often wonder why cream ery butter retails at so much higher a price than ranch butter. A peep into the separator bowl after a few hundred pounds of milk have run through it, will perhaps be explan ation sufficient for this fact. The material that is removed from the milk, instead of going into the cream, as is the case . when the cream rises of its. own accord, is here left sticking to the separator bowl and very readily accounts for the inferior keeping qualities and peculiar flavor in ordinary butter. In making cheese nowadays it is customary to run the milk through the .separator for the sole purpose of removing from it some very ; un desirable .materials that it may contain. A word about the work of the separator, may not be out of place. In ordinary cream raising, even under good conditions, there is left in the skim milk on an average, of about 25-100 of one per cent, of fat, or about one pound in 16 of the fat is lost. By the use of this separator, less than 1-10 of one per cent, of fat is left in the milk, the loss being not more than one pound in 50 of fat. A great saving is thus effected by the use of tha separator. The power for running the separator, churn and butter worker, is furnished by means of a steam engine, which is situaled in a room set. apart for that purpose on the east side of the main build ing."' - - , The above article is vsry com prehensive as to the method -of making creamery butter, and the different machines, and apparatus necessary to establish a creamery.' ' -r:"'-': ' '' COLLISION WITH A COMET. Probable Effect . Upon the Earth of ' Such an Occurrence. : ' . ?' In the opinion ofv Professor Arthur Searle, of the Harvard Ob servatory, the Perrine comet has passed the node nearest to ' the earth, and is even now moving awar in a northerly direction. An astronomer who haa made a special study of comets, says: .7 "A collision between a nucleus of a large comet and the earth might,, be a- yery serious matter. If, as Professor Newcomb and others Jiave supposed, the nucleus is a solid body of metallic density, the effect where the cornet struck would be terrific. "At the first contact in the up per regions of the air the whole heavens would be illuminated with a resplendence of a thousand isuns. producing a tight that would blind every eye and a heat that would melt the hardest rocks;. This would' onlyjast during- the few seconds that the comet was passing through the earths atmosphere, and when the actual collision of solid bodies - occurred everything would be reduced to a fiery vapor and buried miles deep in the solid earth, "It is the small size of this seem ingly big world of ours when com pared, with the celestial space that makes us practically , secure. A bullet fired at random toward the sky would be as likely to bring d )wn a bird as a comet of anyki'nd to touch our earth. 'There might be danger if a comet fell into the sun and in creased its heat for a time to such a degree that the earth would be parched and shriveled by it. "If a comet having a mass equal to one-millionth of the earth's mass were to strike the sun with a velo city of 400 miles a second it would generate about as much heat as the sun gives us in eight or' nine hours. If it were all given off in one hour harm would, of course, follow. ' "There would probablv be a flash of some sort at the solar sur face when the cometary particles struck it, and the exhibition would be highlv interesting to astrono mers, but tint is all," ' Profestor Pickering does not think the earth is in any more danger from this star than from others which are swinging in their eccentric orbits in space. To be sure there is always a chance- of , . 1 ? . . . . i sucn a tning, just as ine most im probable things may sometimes happen, but he advises no one to be nervous. .,..

The Ancient Order of United .Workmen Progressing. ' The Yukon river rises in the Rocky mountain range of British Columbia, entering Alaska at 64 cleg, north latitude, and pursuing its course nearly from east to west across the entire territory,' it final ly empties into 'Behring strait through Notion sound. f-The river s navigable for 1500 to 1800 miles, while its entire length is computed at over 2000 miles, with an aver age width of five miles half the dis tance from its mouth. There' are several places on the lower' Yukon where one bank , is invisible from the other. It is seventy-five miles across its five mouths and the inter secting deltas. At some places,! 600 or 700 miles, inland, the - river expands to 20 miles in breadth, thus forming in the interior, a se ries of connected lakes which ex plorers pronounce to be deep and navigable in all parts. This great waterway can only be said to have been partially explored, but those persevering . pioneers who , nave made the attempt to unravel its mysteries have given us extremely nteresting details of their expen-J ences, all uniting in bearing wit ness that its banks are rich in fur bearing animals, and that its wat ers are stocked with an abundance of fish, including the all-pervading salmon. These valuable fashes fol low the same instinct which they exhibit in other parts pf the world in their annual, pilgrimage of re production; that is, after entering the river's mouth, to' advance as far as possible toward its source. Besides fish and furbearing ani mals, the region through which the Yukon flows contains abundant de posits of gold, sil veri copper, nickel and bituminous coal. ' 1 " 1 A GROWING ORDER. The Ancient Order of United Work men is Progressing Everywhere. - The foundation principles of the Ancient Order of Uoited Vork- men, "charity, hope and protec tion," embody so much of that that is good, noble and beneficial that thev readily commend themselves to, v those who, seek adipissioq into frfeternat i beneficial orders, 1 an is attested-by the wonderful . growth the order enjoys in every city and village in the country. On JJecem ber f 20, 1895, 659 candidates were initiated into Detroit lodge at Ohi cago, the largest number of '" candi dates ever initiated into an order in one night, and swelling the membership of Detroit, lodge to 3,300. When the members all turn out there is only one building in Chicago, the auditorium, that will hold them. The supreme lodge re ports show that the total member ship of the A. O. U. W. is over 350,000, and that largest gains during December last were in the eastern f jurisdiction, Michigan leading, with Massachusetts second The jurisdiction of Ofegon comes ninth in the list of gains, showing that the order is well received in this state, Oregon having a total of over v.uuu workmen in gooa standing. ; : r t , . Not to Be Trifled With. Cincinatti Gazette: Will peoule ner learn that a "cold ' is an acci dent to be dreaded, and that when it occurs treatment should be promptly applied? There is no knowing where the trouble will end; and while complete recovery is the rule, the exceptions are ter ribly frequent, and thousands upon thousands of fatal illnesses occur every year ushered in by a little injudicious exposure and seemingly trifling symptoms. Be yond this, .hereare today countless invalids who can trace their com plaints to "colds," which at the time of occurrence gave no concern and were therefore neglected. When troubled with a cold use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is prompt and effectual. 25 and 50 cent bottles tor sale by Uaburn New Boats for Fithing. Over 200 new boats will be add ed to the fishing fleet of 1890, says the Calhlair.et Gazette, besides a very large number of big mesh net. Almost all of the canneries have backed the fishermen heavily, and on this basis of reasoning, coupled with the additional fact that there are still several thousand cases of last year's spring pack not diapos ed of, a break In the prices of raw fish would immediately have the tendency to . weaken the price of their holdings. The competition among the cannerymen promises to be keener than ever, and there is absolutely little chance of any thing like a strike taking place.. .The Columbia river will be fished more heavily this year than ever in its history. . How He Astonished Them. A Walla Walla paper tells a good one on al'armer friend. It says: "An old settler, living not many miles from Walla Walla, who is not famous for his neat per sonal appearance, expected a soc- al gathering at his hortie a few days ago, and thought he would astonish his family and friends bv appearing in a new outfit. , . W hue in town he purchased a new suit, and on the rond home he stopped by the riverside and pulled off first one piece of his;o!d duds and then another, throwing the discarded garments into the river. Bidding his long cherished habili ments a sad and lingering farewell as they floated down the stream in the unfamiliar element, he turned J to his wagon to get his naw clothes but they were missing, having evi dently fallen out somewhere along the road.' Our old timer now rele gated to his primitive state of sim plicity was in a dilemma, but he pu( whip to his team and arrive at his home nearly frozen. His ap pearance really did astonish his family and assembled guests. He made a sneak to an outbuilding where he doned a suit belonging to the hired man and soon "Richard was himself again." The next morning he found the bundle of new clothes hanging on the break- beam of his wagon." ., , ,. :, Exit on a Hand Car. ; . Fourteen hobos were driven out of Colfax last week. The tramps had been in town for several days, and had stolen promiscuously, tak- ng groceries, clothing and other articles of value wherever they could find them, in several cases breaking into private houses and cellars and walking off with , pro visions. Being informed of their depredations, the police made a raid, and getting on their trail, chased them down the railroad track to the summit west of the town. Here the officers approach ed them closely,' and the tramps finding a handcar, placed it on the track, jumped on, and then went sailing down the grade en route for Diamond and beyond, They; left, the hand car before reaching that place and Btruck out on foot. . A Change Rumored. , The Tquchet correspondent to the Walla Walla Statesman' says report has it that the 0. R. & N. Co., will soon put a new time card into effect and make their road through Wallula the main -line. The passenger train will again' be put on and the eating house now at Walla Walla, established -at Wallula. ,The correspondent says it is the nearest route to Portland, the best roadbed, no heavy grades to climb, a large and commodious building at Wallula, and taken al together, he sees no reason why the change should not bo made. , All last inter Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn., was bad ly afflicted with rheumatism. At times it was so severe that he could not stand up straight, but : was drawn over on one side. "I tiied different remedies without ieceiv ing relief." he says, "until about six months ago I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's " Pain "Balm. After using it for three days my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since." For sale by Ob burn. ' -' 1 . Porter in Good Health.

Portland, Oregon, March 9, 1896, To the People: ; -The . Pacific Northwest Immigration Board has been established for the purpose of bringing to the Pacific Northwest such a class of producers as shall tend to develop its resources and increase its "prosperity, and to that end has, thus far, been provided by the citizens of Portland with a fund of $30,000 a fund which ii ia hoped to largely increase by con tributions from other sources. ' , The board expects to be able to. effectively carry on the work of bringing in settlers from the , East, but it will be impossible " for it to have its own agents in every county and precinct to attend to the lo cating of these settlers,' and this part of the work must be done, in each case, by the residents who are interested .in each special section, and to this end locnl organizations must be established in each county in order that the best results may be obtained and that each county may reap its full share of tho general benefit. , . It being impossible lor a central board to attend to locating in so large a section of the country, the work of this" board will be limited to advertising, as widely as possible the advantages which this country, as a whole, has to offer; and to in teresting the largest possible num ber of the producing classes of the East, and especially farmers, in it. Each enquirer will be supplied with an oecurate, though brief descrip tion of all the different sections, and ; allowed to make his own choice of the second which he pre fers. Havirg made this choice he will be turned -over to the local board of that sectiort to be directed to and supplied with exactly what he wants.; , ' , , ; .. , The board has been organized and. supplied with funds, not. for the purpose of booming any town or city, or promoting Any private interest whatsoever, but for the solo and only purpose of promoting the general settlement and develop ment of the country; at large, a work in which every section has a vital interestand which should be Kided to the fullest extent in their. power by the people of each section. The most effective means for each section to aid in the- general work is bv making itself as well known as nossible. and bv exerting . itself to secure as large ashare as possible of the new comers. It is difficult to pay exactly when the Eastern work will besin to bear fruit. , We have reason to be lieve that we will not have long to wait for considerable results. The local organizations should be formed at once mid perfect their Drenarotions.
