TALK OF IT FROM THE 0ÜTSIDK IMPORTANCE AND GROWTH OF THE DAIRY IÜTBREST WESTERN H UTTER INDIANAPOLIS TO BEE WHICH SIDE HER BREAD IS BUTTERED ON. There is more In the announcement made few. weeks ago, that the association of Manufacturers and Dealers in Creamery and Factory Butter would convene in this city on the 17th of June, than most people supposed at the time, or since. At a recent seasion of the New York Butter and Cheese Exchange, a committe appointed for the purpose, submitted the following report, wbi-h was concurred in and ordered to be published in the CommercialReview, the organ ot that body. Thia is the report and resolutions adopted: To the members of the Butter and Cheese Exchange ot New York: A meeting of butter dealers, in the United States convened at Belöit, Wisconsin, on March 3, 1S74. This meeting, when first conceived, seems to have had for its object the calling together of parties interested in the productiou and handling of butter for the purpose of having a face to face consultation over the improvements already made in handling butter, and to give all who mi.ht be in attendance an opportunity to express their views or give any information of which they mipht be possessed in regard to this important matter. It was not intended that a permanent organization should bo established, bus the meeting being very well attended, the addresses presented and read so instructive and interesting, the exchange of ideas resulting, as those present conceived, not onlv to their entertainment, but positive " benefit, a ieeliug arose almost spotaneously, that the conrention should be turned into a permanent organization", to be called the Association of Manufacturers and Dealers in Creamery and Factorv Butter. The organization was Immediately formed and officers elected; and it vras then decided that its first meeting should be held in Indianapolis, Ind., on the 17th day of June next, and the initiation lee was temporarily fixed at one dollar. THE BUTTER AND CHEESE EXCHANGE of New York being established for the pur. pose of protecting and developing trade In nroduee. esneciallv butter, cheese and eggs should" be interested in the establishment, maintenance, development and success of the before mentioned asssociation. Therefore, be it Rinolved. That the Butter and Cheese Ex hange of the city of Hew York extend to the ArK-iation of Manufacturers and Dealers in Creamery and Factory Butter the light hand of fellowship, and hereby offer to assist, encourage! and ailvance the Interests of the association 1 n any and every way to the extent of Its power According to the Review a movement is also on loot to convene a meeting of the dealers in eggs, both shippers and receivers, at In--dianaDolis on the ISth; and as there will rrobablv be a large attendance of merchants at the batter conven tion who are also interested in the shipment ana sale of eggs, we may hope for beneficial results to that trade from a more thorough discussion than the subject has ver had, and a better understanding by the dealers at both ends of the route, of the ideas and requirements of one another. It will be seen, therefore, that the meeting is national in character, and one of general interest. Six hundred dollais is offered by the butter dealers, in the form of prizes, for the best essays on butter making, the essays to be read at the Jane convention in this city. "WORD FROM WISCONSIN. The Beloit Free Press says: Judg ing from present indications, the con vention '. of ' the manufacturers . of, and Wlrs in. factorv and creamery butter, to be held at Indionapolis, Indiana, June 17th 1374, will be one of the largest and most imTorfant ever held in the country. From all parts of the land, letters containing inquiries and newspapers givfng notice of the same Bra arriving in large numbers daily; thus evincing the great interest the people lake n all important inventions, from the use of which the masses are benefitted. The very full and imoortant reports of the convention aiid hv n. W. Dake. Esq.. and held In the city of Beloit, March 3d, 1874. xm Wished in the Beloit Free Press, rhWm TntAvwOcean. Tribune. Times and ArivArtioAr Milwaukee Journal of Com tnerce, Boston Globe, New York World, and Tariona other newspapers. hSTO bad the

effect to advertise extensively this new and important movement. Upon visiting the Creamery of Mr. Dake In search of 1 acta concerning his inventions, we were shown letters from tht most distant quarters of the land, from the Atlantic 8ea Board, to the Pacific Coast, all seeking further information concerning his patent process ol handling batter, and the time and place of the next

convention, as well as full and explicit di rections bearing upon the offer maas oy xur. Dake for the best essays on butter-making. While treat interest is felt in the approach ing convention in the United States it seems that at tha same time, anxious inquiries are being made in the adjacent Dominion t-.'. A LA ROE ATTENDANCE of our Canadian friends la assured. Thi event will mark a new era la the his tory of diary products in this country, and the very liberal prices offered by the pro jector of the movement (Mr. Dake), while they will have the effect to call out the best talent in Jthe country, at the same time ßhow that he is much in earnest in the work. No standard work on butter mkIng, we believe, exists in the world to-day; and if the prodigious enterprise undertaken by the president of the association should result in nothing save the production of a standard work on the subject of making and handling butter, his fame will have been established, and the dairy interests greatly improved. The need of a work of this kind has long been felt by the dairymen in this country and Canada; and he or she who shall pla a book before the world that is practical, scientific and reliable, will secure a lortune at once. From a small beginning, the enterprise, vigorously pushed by the president, has developed into immense proportions, having officers already in all the principal dairy states of the union, and Is destined to effect a perfect revolution in the mode of making and handling butter. The following from New York Price Current, dated March 27, 1874, indicates the nnm.v takahle supeilority of the western lactoyor creamerv butter in the eastern marker over that manufactured by the usual prois cess: "In western butter the improvement in quantity has been especially noticeable, and it is safe to sav that, while the increase in quantity has been very great, some of it has been equal in quality to .fine state butter, and a great deal of it superior to lower grades. mis nas re sulted more than all else from what is called the " factorv." or " creamery plan. by which the butter from a large number of dairies is collected uireuuy iruui uovuuu, nnsalted. and taken to the factory, worked, salted and colored, in large quantities, using patented machinery, making it uniform in color and quality. It has thus far resulted in an improvement of three to five cents in prices at which butter is soia In the market. Thus it will be seen that a blow has been struck, the effect of which the whole country will feel. Success to the enterprise, say we. Yankee Ingenuity, backed by indomitable pluck and energy, will accomplish wonders; and the fact that what was but a feeble, individual effort, less than three months ago, has now become a large and powerful organization, linking state to state in great interests, proves conclusively the truth of our statement. A GREAT TIME. A letter to Mr. Robert Langsdale.of this city, from Wm. D. Moffitt, of Beloit, Wisconsin, urges attention to the subject. He writes: Mr. Dake desires me to address you. We are going to have a great time at the convention. You will need to make timelv and extensive arrangements with the hotel keepers for the accommodation of dele gates and visitors. Enclosed please find an article clipped lrom the Beloit Free Press on the convention to De neiu tnereon tue inn of June. Please lose no time in supplying the papers with the enclosed documents, and send a copy of each paper publishing, to Mr. Dake. Yours trniy, Wm. I). MOFFITT. BEARING BUTTER. BUTTER ALCHEMISTS. TRICKS OF THE TRADE WHAT MAfc.ES BUT TER CHEAP EAST, ASD DEAR WKST HOME INDUSTRY. Now that the butter business is to be the leading topic in this city for some time to come, a few facts of local interest not known to every one may be of interest. In the first place it is proper to note one or two curious facts in relation to the market. Perhaps the most remarkable one is, that just now a good article of butter is worth more in the western cities than in New York. Good firkin butter there has been down within a week to SO cents and anotes to-day at from thirty-three to forty cents per pouna, a very low ngure for mat maraet, auu ueiuw tun ruuug prices here. So in St. Albans, the great butter . . i . j l 1 1 1 : i emporium of Vermont, the decline has been raDid and constant for some weeks. Anoth er feature. While the retail prices in all the western towns run to forty or fifty cents. and there is a regular butter famine, the laree buyers who look, of course, to the New York market, quote butter weak and declining and are not willing to pay hardly a quarter of a dollar a pound. At the same lime the wholesale dealers, who supply the home consumption in this city. ar6 willing to pay almost any price asked for a decent article, - ana have lately been sending to Iowa and Wisconsin in frantic desperation to get a little grease for Indian apolis biscuit. IBB eniinet has alluded to these anomalies before in the market re ports. A FEW FACTS will shed light on these carious aspects of the trade. There are in other western cities and now in this city machines for the trans mutation, not exactly by alchemy of all pologies for butter into its golden article such as old Job in the days of pros perity used to wash his steps with, or said he did. Everything that bears - the name of butter, white. erav and grizzlv is now picked up by Indus trious buyers at every cross roaa ana all the markets, such as .Nashville. LiOuisville. In dianapolis and other railroad towns, and put through the machine, ine Daa quality o butter is doe to several causes, but one of more importance than is generally known is the poor salt used Dy tne ignorant ana care less makers. The first thing in process of reconstruction is to fill an immense trough with all aorta of the gathered batter in a room of high temperature and when it is softened to workout of it all the salt, butter nilk and every Bubstance which it derived from farmer's kitchens and in its travels. It is then salted with a pure and perfect article of Onondaga salt. and made sweet. The next thing is to cAor it arti ficially with annatto. to give itth- proper complexion supposed to be derived only from the sweet and green pastures ol clover The working is done instantly by an in genious invention of Mr. . Dake who will talk butter to us all in June. The process is simply passing it through a wire screne.or sieve, which separates it by oe act so as to relieve it of all fluids, and "ben by pressing together it is in order ft packing in pails for the New York marAet, where the smart manufacturer get a b'gb price for what he bought very chep. . Now. for THE RESULT TO TBS MARKET. This thrifty business has "cleared out," so to speak, the West of all its butter, and lefi us almost destitute, fox the business baa

erown up quickly under the stimulus of

large profits.- The Eastern dairymen have been holding their nice firkins of batter for the spring demand, but seeing the supply pouring in from the West, they got alarmed and threw their stores upon the market in New York and sent the prices down. The glut is there now, and unless grass comes soon, there may be such a thing as shipping butter to the West, even from New York. Yet at the same time, the shipping ' dealers and theae refiners, it they may be called so, are not prepared to pay more than the eastern market justifies with freight off. One thing may be set down now, vix: That the butter production of the west is to become a leading business, and also that western butter, which always has been kicked about with disdain in New York, will be a rival to the best of Orange county. These matters and fActa will more fully appear at the great convention, June 17, to be held in this city. There will be present all the magnates who are just now waking up the country on this question. PRIZE ESSAYS. SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS IN PREMIUMS. Mr. Daniel W.

The convention of the National Board of Underwriters re sumed its session this morning. After the routine business was disposed of, E. D. Hoiton, vice-president of the Northwestern In surance company, of Milwaukee, intro duced a resolution of thanks to President Grant for his veto of the finance bill. Mr. TTolton said he came from the west, which had been greatly misrepresented in the mat ter. and for bimaelf he regarded every dol lar of the currnncy as rotten, ine ioiiowing Is the resolution, which was adopted amid uprorious applause: Resolved, That the members of this Board, representing more man seventy-nve minion dollars of iusurance capital of the country. 'without respect to party, desire to express our satisfaction witntne action oi tne president in vetoine the inflation bill, so called, a bill which. in theoninion of the Board, puts in peril, not only the welfare of the capital we represent, but threatens ruin ana uisnsier to taegreai commer cial Interests of the country at large. A report of the special committee to con sider and report on a new form of policy was read. Two forms accompanied the report, and were submitted to the Board lor its con 8ideration. The committee urged the Board to adopt one or the other of the forms pre sented, the necessity for this action being apparent in the dally experience ot underwriters, the policy so adopted to have printed upon it in conspicuous letter, "National Board form or policy." The com mittee also submitted a resolution recom mending a reduction of 10 per cent, from the standard rates of premium on all property where the company insurance or average clause is inserted In the policy. The report was accepted and laid on the table for fur her action. Mr. Rankin, chairman of the committee on the causes of fire, made reports with accompanying statistics. A table was given showing the causes of fires in 13 American cities during the year which were as follows: Accidental specinc, äs ; Denzme, naptna ana iiquia gas 44; chemical explosives, 7; coffee roasters, 1; carelessness with matches, 597; children with matches, 127; defective Hues, 2S3; detective heating apparatus, 290; explosions, 13; foul chimneys, iao; fireworks, 103; frlc tion of machinery, 22; gas lights in show windows, 100; gas pipes and me ters, 37; grease, pitch, tar, oil, eta, 51 ; not asnes ana coais, m: incenai ary. 316; kerosene oil, 237; malicious mischief.

AN EXAMINATION ot the report will show that a very large per cent, of these nres could have been avoided with ordinary care and caution The report was accepted and ordered printed Mr. Heald, from the committee on confer ring with the New York farm board, offered a recommendation that farm property be infared on a basis of 75 cents per flOO for three years with the two-thirds clause added. Laid on the table for further action. The report or tne 4 ew xorK lioaru or u naer writers on gas and gasoline machines, was adopted on the recommendation of the special commit tee. The executive committee were given power to treat the cases of board agents who acted tor new board companies. Th' new form of the constitution as rif mended by the president was adopt'1 Wltü a few minor changes. The cor"1"66 on finances was instructed to taV Ji.011 in J6" gard to increasing the rr-tfber8P ot the Board and the reammaation f the committee in a punervis-y agents in regard to the appointment ,rtera th nWntitra-ommlttee. weie referred to Mr. Heald from the Wisconsin the cormUee on insurant reported iaruir that this resolutions delaw, which ntOVlaes mat toe iuii vaiuo ui a puiicy bumu be basis of indemnity for loses is unconstitutional by interfering with the right of private contracts, and should be resisted by the combined strength of the fire insurance interest. The resolutions further condemned the law as putting a premium on arson, and adirtsed the executive committee to bring a test case under it before the Supreme Court of the United States, at the earliest practicable moment. Considerable discussion fol lowed, several members lavoring a modification of the language ol the resolutions. A

slight change of phraseology was then adopted. On the motion of Mr. Heald. reso-

Llutions were adopted declaring that tax a non on . the , gross , . receipt of companies was unjust and oppressive, and favoring efforts to secure lust and uniform legislation in this respect. . The present incumbents were re-elected to their offices lor the ensuing year, with the exception ol Ezra White, of this city, and Henry Kellogg, of II art ford, members of the executive committee. Alfred Pell, of this citv. and Mr. Bennett, ir.. of Hartford, were elected to fill THE VACANCIES. Mr. Crowell offered a resolation express ing approbation of the work of the local board in affording assistance to the National Board, and urging the members of the latter to give the other boards their unvarying support, as their influence Is useful to agents. The following resolutions were adopted: Reolved, That when the minimum ratings for states are adopted by the executive committee at any regtiar meeting, they shall be binding oa the companies ind tgenti after the promalgitlon thereof by the general agents, and no policies or renewals In risks carried by such ratings shall be written at lower figures. Resolved, That it is the sense of this Board that when such ratings are adopted, that the same shall appiy to the risks of classes therein which are to be submitted to the same charges for exposure or other causes as may be called oy the existing local tariffs, provided that the same shall not apply to cities with a population of 4U,i)U) and upwards, and also in such places as In the Judgment of the executive committee their existing tariff may be bound to. Resolved, That the minimum rating adopted in December.IK72.and modified FebruArv 2tith and 27th, 1374, lor sundry southern and western states heretofore appointed, are binding upon companies and agents on and after May 1, 1874, subject to take conditions as those named In the loregoing resolutions. ltesolved. That the resolutions passed by the executive committee at their meeiinn of Febru ary 26th and 27th, 1S74, allowing concessions of votes for local advantages ot good fire departments and water supply may be applied to every ivt wxucu m minimum rate is auoptea. The committee on commissions to agents reported a resolution limiting the maximum amount of commission to local agents at 15 per cent. Adopted. The two forms of policy were referred to the executive committee, wnn power to send a form of the copy to to each member of the board. It was moved that the matter of the Alabama claims be relerred to the executive committee, toorder such an Increase of notes where odious laws exist, as they deem necessary to cover sucn taxation. Adopted. The recommends tion of the Farm Board of New York, was lasen up ana reierrea to the executive com mittee. with power. The appointment of standing committees for the ensuing year was referred till a further period. The con vention then adjourned sine die. THE REIGNING SENSATION WHAT A REPUBLICAN JOURNALIST THINKS AND SAYS OF THH HOVIMEXT. Mr. I). S. Alexander, the former editor of the Fort Wayne Gazette, who has personally consulted many of the responsible authors of the farmer's call, writes to the Cincinnati Gazette concerning it: The reform movement which was so unexpect edly announced last week has produced sensation and given Indiana papers some thing to talk about, if it never accomplishes anything else. Nearly every newspaper in the state, daily or weekly, has published toe can, commented upon its authorship. and has either commended or condemned the movement. The fact that it was first promulgated through the Sentinel of this city led the democratic press to distrust it, wniie tne republican press, relying upon the Journal lor its information, has been in clined to treat the whole affair as a fraud, or as the work of a few granger wire pullers of democratic proclivites. Uut, meanwhile, the county calls which bare been so gen erously distributed throughout the state are being rapidly signed, and within two weeks upward of 5,000 names will be ready for publication, affixed to the call for a state convention, to beheld on the 10th ot June, 1S74. At this time it is, of course, absolutely impossible to form any definite idea as to whatlt will result in. One thing, however, Is certain it will not be composed of gian gers alone, ilenof all parties and "lams," who desire to break down old iarty lines and aeieat old party leaders are in vited to send delegates, and the convention will, in all probability, contain many men who never saw the inside of a grange. But at the same time, it cannot be denied that if it succeeds in nominating a respectable ticket, and adopting a platform which will gain It friends, it will be due to the efforts of such granger as shall take part in its proceedings. As I stated in a former letter, the grange as an organization, is not responsible for the movement. It can riot officially recognize any political party, and, up to this time, has not. The order was established originally for social, intellectual and pect -niary profit to its members. Every farmi r felt the need of better understanding the laws of supply and demand, the principles which regulate trade, and the benefits which arise from systematic co-operation. For the purpose of learning these things theoretically, and carrying them out practically, many of our best farmers have joined the organization; and, bo far as politics is concerned, they care nothing for it. THE HEALTH OF FARMERS. Farmers hive unequaled natural advantages for health.strength and longevity. The statistics of diseases and the tables of mortality however,are agalzustthem. This is due not to their vocation, bat to their misuses of it. No class, as a whole, is probably so utterly reckless of health conditions. So far as our acquaintance has been with the habits of farmers is concerned and it has teen extensive it compels the conclusion, a a rule, that the dietio habits of farmers are worse than those of any other class who have the means of choosing for themselves.

The headsman said that "hard times ana ridiculous obloquy caused me and my two daughters to leave the old country, uy 'hard times' I mean the new criminal code ol German v. . Nothing could be more ill-advised than that. I and my four colleagues thought so as soon as the German Parliament was foolish enough to pass it. What has been the consequences?

"About dosen," said Mr. Bcharffenberg, "and I wishtbero bad been less of them. They gave me more trouble than all the men I had to put to death. Why, the last person of that Kina i naa to attend to was an old lady with her son. They had poisoned the father to get his money. I thought the mother ougni to nave her head cut off first but the clerk of the court, a meddlesome sort of a fellow, directed me otherwise, and so I had to 'cut' (Schneiden) the young man first. His mother took it very badly. I could naraiy get ner in 'good shape on the block." "What were your emoluments In Prussia"? asked the reporter "Three hundred thalers for each head cut orr, repnea tne ex-neausman : "aad, besides I had in my district all the skinaingof fallen cattle.

"Did you ever break nybody on the wheel," asked the reporter "No," he replied, "the frorst I did was cutting with the sword, aid little did I like It; for it is an uncertain way of doing it. Give me the axe, and tie head flies off like nothing." "And you say the rew German code is bad?" asked the reporr. "Why, of course," slid the old headsman, "Yerybad! Very ba4 !

THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL, THE NEW8PAPER OF IND IAN J,. TJNTRAMMPTJTt AND NOXFAJ3TIBAJI. DAILY, SUTTDAT A HD WXXXLT. Betting ont on .a. somewhat new and nntri path last year, the Sentinel defined at lenrth an In detail its purposes. To those who have watched - mat coarse it reasserts Its claim for continued countenance and loyal support. The Benttnel promised last year perfect independence from an ' partisan ties. It promised earnest, nnrelaxlng efforts in the prodactlon and presentation oft) wholesome, reined and trustworthy news m I dlum. In the success of that effort it baa the cor dial endorsement of a vast number of its c tem porary Journals, and the written asBuranoe of a great constituency of ministers, teachers, law yers and families. The measure of the Sentinel success is, however, best shown by the position wmcn it naa taken within the year, as the firs newspaper of the State, and a leading newspaper of the West. To this fact nearly every Journal of intelligence and discrimination in the Btata naa borne testimony, as well as the swelling list of new readers who have Joined Its ranks friends. This in a eeneral wav. For the next year the Sentinel reaffirm Its attitude in the past year the organ of no party or creed the temperate advocate, only, of th - most penerona measures in Church and (State. If will continue to publish all the news at the ear heat moment. It will reflect the sentiments ot the people, and hold Itself outside or all party ties. It will support only honest men for ode and demand a pledge of character, not party. It will npbold sealoualy the ban als of all men hon est and earnest In reform, no matter what their party or predilr jettons, and It will strive to giv all sideaaheaing In the changing topic that fill the public mind from time to time. ; - The Sentinel has no policy to maintain aa oy posed to the will of the majority. Its columns are meant to be a fair reflex of the rational win of the community, where all men can have s hearing freely. The Sentinel believes that s continuance of the baleful partylsm of the put must inevitably aap the foundation of the Km public and destroy every distinctive featnra o democratic government. To this end It enoour ages heartily the obliteration of the corrup power which has strangled honesty in office dor ln the last seven years; a power whion brings) the nation into bankrutcy on the verge of the new year, and by its flagrant disregard of lb first principles of government, plunges tht country Into all the hardships of war and pestilence. Under whatever conditions reform may eomv the Sentinel will give Its best efforts for Its suecess, maintaining at all times Its own perfect freedom to uphold and rnirt.i-n genuine, nog simulated reformation. On the great Industrial questions, now moving, the public mind, the Sentinel will maintain sv hearty, earnest co-operation with all Btrugg lingmen seeking to better themselves mentally, physically, and every way. It believes that th present revenue laws work mischievously and; dlscrlmm&tely against the producer and in favor of the non-producer, and that any reform whld does not make farmer's rights and revenue re form solid planks of its plauorm and active measures in it policy, does not deserve the sympathy of Intelligent men The Farmers' move-' ment received its first recognition In this section from the SenUnel. Its efforts shall continue ta be directed toward the strengthening of that design. In Its opposition to political, railroad and financial monopolies, the Sentinel will continue an honest support. While furthering all interests in tills direction, wisdom must be called Is to keep the crusade against public abuse, monop olles, and the like, from degenerating Into dema goguery. In all emergencies ot this nature, the -Sentinel will attempt full and Impartial Justice to all who trust it. Concerning Its general features aa" a feewspifigh, the Sentinel will hold its rank a the foremost In the State, by a oontlnaanee of the same policy of liberal expenditures whoever events of mo ment occupy the publie irtlnd. Tne feature for which this paper has become popular and distinguished during the last year, will be carried out still more fully, If possible, the coming year, and every department made of vital, abiding interest and usefulness to the home circle, th minister, the lawyer, the educator In short, aJ classes who want a pure and upright press, to trammeled by party and unwarned by prejudl' The Sentinel Is not only the completest ne -paper in Its presentation of news and Its o ments thereon, but It is a visitor every d it the year for the 3G5 days omitting no paücr tion on any pretext. It is, in this respect, ae it the most valuable news mediums In thetate. In short, the Sentinel means to keep ad the brilliant progress of the State. It vans to give voice to the most liberal, enligbwed and purest sentiment of the time, and In tM respect claims a distinctly special mission, -t depend on Its character as an Independent id fearless news medium for growth and sipport, and makes no pretext of cheap premiums to secur reluctant supporters. Its market reports regular, special aud com piled, are the fullest, most dlvsifled and com plete presented in any Journal of similar resources in the country. Its la, educational and Industrial reports, which hae attracted general attention in the past, sbal' be continued with equal care and accuracy u the future, and no cost spared m perfecting uch details as will rer der them In every Way the features of Indian Journalism.
