While we, in cominor, -with all jnst minds, most condemn the manner in which he reached power, ye t iit moat be admitted that in the main ''that power has been beneficially exerted.

You all know that if you can prevent the cream from rising, the milk will be more palatable with the particlea of cream mixed through it, than skim milk, or than milk from the cow, with the fresh taste and odor. To prepare milk in tbit way, take it while warm from the cow, set in a cool place, alir it cootinually until all the aoimnl heat is ont and no cream will rise after that operation.
