ABOUT TESTING MILK, THE AMERICAN DAIRYMAN SAYS

As a protection against fraud in diluting or adulterating milk before it is receivedat cheese factories, every factory should be provided with a set of graduated glassrubes, which the cheesemaker can daily, or at short intervals, fill with milk receivedfrom different patrons and observe and record the percent of cream which rises uponthe milk in each. So long as the milk of every patron shows a fair percentage ofcream, he need not make further tests. Should the milk of anyone show a deficiencyof cream, tests should be made to determine whether it had been tampered with. Todo this, take a sample of milk from a herd which is known to be pure, and reduceit to the temperature at which the lactometer is made to be used, and note whetherthe lactometer sinks or rises above the surface of the milk being tested. If thepoint P on the lactometer, which denotes pure milk, rises above the surface, it maybe considered pure because pure milk which is deficient in cream is heavier thanpure milk rich in cream. If it sinks below the surface, dilution may be predicted,because it is lighter instead of heavier than pure milk. Now take two per cent glassesand fill one to the top graduated marks with pure milk, and the other with the suspectedmilk, and when the cream has fully raised on both, remove and insert the lactometerin the skim-milk in each, and note exactly how far it sinks in each and make a recordof the result for future use, if it should be wanted. If it sinks lower in the suspectedmilk than in the pure, turn water into the pure milk till the lactometer sinks tothe same point it did in the suspected milk and note the per cent of water added. The per cent of water added will show the per cent of dilution.

The following poem we publish at the request of the surviving relatives of the lateMr. M. DOCKERY, of the town of Mequon.

In Memory of Our Father
Stern winter holds us in his clasp
We feel his icy breath;
But one has felt a colder clasp -
That of the Angel Death

As gently as in calm repose
His parting breath he drew,
And earth with all its (unreadable)
Has faded from (unreadable)

Around his pale and stiffening clay
The sob of anguish breaks,
We mourn a father passed away
Who lived but for our sakes.

A life of toil for us he spent;
His labors now are o'er,
His eyes are closed in clam repose
To open nevermore.

It seems not better thus to go,
And we who linger here
Are forced by Nature's law to show
Our sorrow by a tear.

And yet we know 'tis for the best
And hope to meet again
Within the Heaven of the blest
Where pleasures banish pain.

Peace to his soul, we ever say
And sound his virtues high,
And thus for us may others pray
When we shall come to die.
-- Charles A. Dockery

Last Sunday our dramatical society rendered its second drama to a crowded house. In performing their roles, the members of our dramatical society did credit to themselves. Had professionals acted instead of our amateurs, we doubt, and we have good reasontoo, that they could have done better and might have done worse. Their work speakswell for the talent of our little city, Cedarburg the short time that the societyhas been organized and the limited time allotted for rehearsals. An appreciativeaudience with but one or two exceptions witnessed the play. During one of the mosttouching scenes (unreadable words). . . . to the eyes of many, a number of wouldbe gallery gods, who had forgot to comb the hay-seed out of their matted locks andwho evidently had more mouth than brains, thinking themselves exceedingly wise, sawsomething very funny in this scene, and gave vent to their feelings in a loud laughter,which was a mixture of a bray and a bawl. They were the only ones that had the goodopinion of themselves, to all others they were objects of derision and disgust. After the performance the audience enjoyed themselves in dancing which they did untilthe peep of dawn, when with the light of the morning star they meandered home.

Would it not be a favorable time now to start building, or if not build, agitate"that beet sugar factory" of which there was considerable talk some timeago; since the analysis of beets grown on soil inferior to ours yet showing sucha large per cent of sugar, there seems to be no doubt but what our ingenious farmers(who, by the way, are up to snuff) would raise sugar beets successfully and profitableto themselves as well as to such a factory; soil and climate both being favorabletherefore, none better in the state, and in Ozaukee County, a better site could notbe had than Grafton. Farmers wake up! No is the time to strike! Trot out yourmen with their boodle hid in some old stocking. Induce them with kind words to helptheir fellow beings, try to show them that this world was not made for one selfishsoul, should they still act stubborn, treat them as the hostiles are treated in Dakota. They are a detriment to civilization.

Wisconsin has always claimed to be a restful, healthful, and attractive summer resort,and if this state of weather holds out for a week or two longer, she can be advertisedas the greatest winter resort in the northwest. Eastern and southern people whoare having a hard cold winter are welcome to come up here and get a whiff of summer,and see the grapes grow in this semi-tropical belt, where sleighs are a thing ofthe past, and perpetual summer looms.

OBITUARY

It is with feelings of truest sorrow that we have to record the death of one of thosemen who have every occupied a foremost place in our esteem and affections - the deathof a man whose memory will be cherished by hosts of friends. Wm. CARBYS, Esq. diedat his residence in Thiensville on the 22nd of January, after a lingering diseaseof several months. He was born in Cologne, Prussia, Feb. 26, 1826; came to New Yorkin 1849, and removed in '55 to Wisconsin, settling in Thiensville where he residedcontinuously up to the time of his death. For a number of years past, he held theoffice of clerk of the town of Mequon, and in 1876 represented the southern dist.of this county in the assembly.

Mr. CARBYS was a well read man of sound judgment, rare good, common sense, he tooka deep interest in all public matters and whatever he said or did showed him to bea man of progressive ideas. He had spent many years of his younger life in Parisand New York; and often would he entertain his listeners with graphic and fascinatingdescriptions of life in cities. His spirited way of conversing and indomitable goodhumor had made him a favorite in all social circles. In him our community losesa whole-souled, popular and universally respected citizen whose memory will be helddear by all who knew him and had dealings with him. He was an exemplary, lovinghusband and father who did all in his power to make his home pleasant and his familyhappy. He leaves a widow and an only son about 21 years of age to mourn his untimelyloss, (unreadable words) … their sad bereavement and affliction.

ECLIPSES IN 1901
This year's eclipses will be beyond the average. On the evening of May 23d the moonwill rise in an eclipse at five minutes to eight, but the shadow will for the greaterpart, have already passed away, and it is only in astern countries and at the antipodesthat her face will be seen obscured totally. It will be otherwise with the totaleclipse of our satellite, which will begin at thirty-five minutes past 10 on November,the 15 next. This, as the almanacs tell us, will be "entirely visible at Greenwich,"whiter, no doubt the legendary cockney will once more betake himself in time to witnessthe phenomenon.

There will be two solar eclipses - one annular and visible in this country as a partialeclipse of the upper limb, beginning at two minutes past 5 on the 6th of June; theother a partial eclipse on Dec. 1, which will chiefly be visible in the South Pacific. Besides these, there will be, on May 10, a transit of Mercury over the sun's disk. This will be only partially visible in this part of the globe.

GRAFTON
How about that sugar mill? Where are the men with money, and nerve enough to useit?

Last Thursday night some miscreants entered the Catholic church and parsonage, evidentlyfor the purpose of stealing. Father VOGT, however, discovered them in the houseand called for help, his neighbors responding at once, but the nightly visitors haddeparted. No serious damage except a scare seems to have been done.

The masquerade at SIMON's was well attended, many comic performances given and allwere happy until the morning star dispersed the crowd. Still many a bright facecould be seen next day.

Some former Grafton citizens employees of the Milwaukee Worsted Mills were here lastSunday on a visit. Glad to see you boys call again.

The weather still continues to be very pleasant but there's mischief in the air.

Every now and then one can see or hear musicians with their instruments paddlingalong on the streets at the dusky dawn of day, and then the thought suggests itselfthat another masquerade is over.

A notorious row was created in a well known public tavern in this locality at anearly hour some few days ago, and according to reports one of our most eminent civilservice officers was knowcked out in the second round. Humane officers ought tosee that such local bare-fisted amateurs would be sent up too, especially when theyare caused, not by mutual consent, but by an "evil spirit" within.

BIEDERMANN's favorite beer on tap at Hugh TURNER's, fresh from the brewery twicea week. Cannot be had in any other place in town.
