MR.. KEYEs' SUCCESSOR.

Hon. Ginery Twitchell, present Rep
resentative in Congress from the Sd dis
trict of Massachusetts,, has been elected
President of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, succeeding the late
Henry keyes, whose death we aRnounc-
ed few days ago.
The selection of Mr.. Twitchell for
President is one of the best that the A.,
L. 81 S. f. folks could have made, and
will add much to the already excellent
financial standing of the company. Mr.
Twitchell is a ''self-made" Massachu-
sets business man, about sixty years of
age, and has reputation for sagacity
and integrity that ranks with the high
est. Forty years ago he was largely in
terested in stage coaches, and the carry
ing of mails in his native State. When
railroads "came into fashion," he con-
nected himself with the Boston and
Worcester line, and was chosen its Su-
perintendent in 1S4S, and its President
in 1887. he was elected to Congress in
1866, and reelected in 1S6S-both times
by almost two thirds vote. His dis
trlct embraces large part of the city of
Boston, with Brookline attached. In
Congress he has been highly esteemed
for his sterling sense and his unswerv-
ing honesty. To have it said of any
measure that "TwitcEell says it's all
right" has long been accounted full as
surance of its propriety, by his fellow
members of the lower house of Com
gress; and it is conceded by everybody
IN Boston that the interests of that CITY,
in Washington, have never been better
or closer looked after than by him.

DAIRYING IN THE UNITED STATES.

The following statistics are from the
Lire Stock Journal: But few persons
realize the magnitude of the dairying
interest i'll this country at the present
time. The present produce of cheese
is supposed to be at 800, 100000 pounds,
which, at fifteen cents per pound.
amounts to S45,000,000; and of butter
575, 100000 pounds, which, at twenty
five cents per pound, amounts to S152,
100000; with 100,000,000 gallons of milk
sold in the cities and towns, and 10000,
600 gallons consumed in families where
produced, worth 100000; making to-
gether dairy product of S215, 100000,
besides the pork made from the refuse
of butter and cheese diaries.
The number of cows is probably not
less than 100000; the number in 1869
was S,72S,S62. If we allow 100000
cows for making the butter it will give
lis pounds per COW, and 100000 cows
employed in producing cheese, which
will be 200pounds per COW 100000 cows
for the production of milk consumed in
cities and families of producers, leaving
], 100000 cows in the Western and South
ern States devoted to raising stock.
From these facts it will appear that
the average product of butter and cheese
is very far below what it might be with
the intelligence and attention to breed
ing, feeding and general management
which the magnitude of the subject de-
mands.
The first Collins cheese factory of
Erie county, N. Y, for 1869, reports the
average from seven hundred and thirty
cows at four hundred and twenty pounds
of cheese per COW, while two hundred
pounds and over is common yield, per
COW, in butter, from good well fed cows.
This dairy interest, of an aggregate of
S215, 10000, could readily be brought
I'D to S5O0.0O0OOO.
