DURHAM CHRONICLE The question at increased indemno l ity in the common. and the Senate is coming in now for a liberal share of discussion throughout the length and ' breadth ol the Dominion, and both sides of the House are being hauled over the coals [or assisting in the eflort to line their own pockets. They were certainly a united'party ' self interest, and whether their grasping prepensittest will be forgotten or not when the next election time comes round re- ’ seen. That the question should have been submitted to the electors seems the general 0 3--- Les. ;Gl ill mfl‘tpr Uf Lyra‘ve to the electors seems the general opinion, but is a matter of grave doubt in the minds 0! many whether aunited Grit and 'l‘ory party could be iound to seek the support of the mph, with any such plank in ' political platform. a. a a We have on previous occasions re- ferred to the fact that we are an evergoverned maple. or rather that we have too many so-called law makers at Ottawa, and that as good laws. il not better laws. could be lormulated and put into effect if half the representatives never saw the inaide 0! our legislative halls. Yet individually we have no right to con- demn those men for occupvim; posi- tions to which they have been elected by the popular vote. nevertheless the lact remains unaltered that many qu Iâ€"v- -v-.._ of them are absolutely useless as factors in bringing about progressive legislation and, therefore. “bile we do nor condemn the individuals so elected to parliamentary positions, we most unhesitatingly gixe exln'es- Iion to our feelings which condemn 3 system so useleéé and am Going back to the question of sal- ary we do not look upon an indenm- ity of 81.500 3 year as too much for the right kind of men to represent as in parliament nor do we think any one knowing the ins and outs of ex- penditure will regard good men as overpaid even at the increased in- demnity. Let it not be understood for a moment that it is our intention to give encouragement to extravag- ance, but that eXpenses should be curtailed to the lowest possible point in running the machinery of the government. To accomplish this our idea is to curtail the representa- tion rather than reduce the salaries of worthy representatives. An ideal representative is necessarily a good man in his own business. and to sac- ritice ones own business to the ser- vice of the state is surely worthy of a grave consideration. Moreoer when once elected to a parliamentary position a representative must keep up to the times. EXpenses of living at the Capital are highmnd he who would economize by running liom place to place to get board at private a house at a dollar and a half a week Would have no prestige in parliamentary circles nor even command the respect of the most parsiminous elector who gave his support in the election con- test. We have certainly too many members, but the good ones are not overpaid. and many of them find to their sorrows, that it would have been better had they been snowed under at the outset and minded their own business at home. San Nicolas, Cebu. P. I. 1' l April 1.3m, 1901,‘ MY DEAR FATllER.â€"~I suppose you will think I have been neglecting you by not writing for so long a period. but as nothing has been going on over here of much interest, I have had nothing to write about. In fact. there has not been any excitement lor some time, and not likely to be for some time to come, as, since Ag- gie is captured the insurreCLion is practically over. This is the only island that is holding out. all the others having surrendereJ. The in- anrgenta on Cebu are a gang of cut- throats and villains who have murders galore to answer for. and who will, in probability. fight to the death rather than be captured. They have either got to hang or be killed in action. and I hope they will prefer the latter. as it will be a means of paaeing away the time to have a fight once in a while. i General Rosario surrendered 1 flmy lust. week to Sergt.

We expect the Civil Connmi-sion here next week to establish civil government on the island.

Your Son, mex 11mm. anm mar raw-rial mrrvspumlrut FARMERS INSTITUTE. Mr. Allan, the newly elected Pres.,l took the chair and introduced Miss Laura Rose. who addressed the audi- ence on “Difliculties in the Dairy and How to Overcome Them.” The first ditliculty is to make it pay. In order to overcome this it is neces- sary to use the scales and Babcock test and find out what the cows are doing. and weed out any that are not earning their keep. Any that give milk containing less than 3} per cent. of butter {at should he get. out of the way of better. Kindness in treatment was urged as a matter of economy, and a knowledge of .feeds and letding was also necessary to success. Setting and skimming were also important. For two or three cows shallow pans would do, set in a cool cellar. Avoid a draft over the u.ilk, as it would evaporate the cream and make it tough and leath- ery. In skimming use a knife in. stead of the finger. From three up a to eight cows deep setting would be .the best. it Should be set immediate- ly in ice cold water. If the water is nut sutliciently cold there will be a loss of nearly one-third of butter fat, and this was too much to lose when with rare it could be avoided. But the best method is to use a separator. It will take all the fat from the milk; the warm, new milk will be better (evil for calves, and it will save a great. tlt‘ill of work for the farmers’ wires and daughters. Cream slio.tld he kept in a can until there is enough it) churn. and whenever fresh cream is added it Should all be stirred to- gather, care being taken to stir it from the bottom. Difficulties ol' churning were then taken up. The most common difii- rulty was, perhaps. having the churn 100 full. One-third full was best; nerer more than half full. If found too full take some out and churn it twice, Temperature was another difficulty. Long churning was sometinn-s caused by cream being too cold. sometimes by being too thin or too much milk in it, sometimes by thu rows being a loner time in milk, when the fat globules become small aml haul. A higher temperature is l'eqllll't'tl in all these cases. not an equal temperature in eVery case. but. a temperature to suit the cream handled and found by experience. Never your hot water into the churn bat, put the can of cream into a vea sel of hot water. Flavor is one of the most import.- uut qualities of butter. 'l‘urnipy or other bad flavors can be removed by .. pzts‘lm‘izing” the cream, which is simply raising it up to a temperature uf MU degrees, and keeping; it at that {or half an hour. keepingit stirregl all the time. But this should not be resorted to unless necessary, as it will remove good flavors as well. leaving the butter tasteless and in- sipid. - The lm'turer then entered into the suhjmzt of bacteria.

Streaky butter was imperfectly worked. or poor salt was used which contained lime, and bleached the butter. She had a drawing of a simple butter worker, which almost any one might make from the measurements given. It, consisted of a table 36 in. long, :56 in wide at one end. and 4 in. at the other. It is set on three legs. two at the wide end “.24 inches high, the other at. the narrow end 21 inches. and a harder on the two sides, The lever is 8 sided. made of hardwood, 4 inches through at one end and 3 at the other, a 6 inch handle at; the large end and a tenon or iron spike on the other, to work in a hole in a bar across the 4 inch space. i She spoue also of the Dairy School at the Ag.
