They are better furnished, more

about a first-rate college is that
there no respect needs to be paid to
the ignorant prejudiees OF private
patrons, to local requirements or
individual whims. A great college
has life experience, and tradition
al and cumulative wisdom of its
own. 1t has Its own ideas Of edu-
cation, and it carries them out with
Qua consulting patrons or pupils-
Small colleges must seek patrons
and accommodate themselves to the
Whims of parents, and then to the
Whims Of pupils. Itois very much

EXTENSION OF CHEESE FACTORIES
In THE WEsT.-As to the extension
of the manufacture Of cheese in the
Western States since 1870, we give
the following figures, as obtained
from local Boards of Trade and es-
Inmates of good authorities in the
absence of these reports, as no sta
tistics have been brought down to
the present time. In Northern Illi-
nois, the increase has been from 10
to 300 in operation ut present. In
Wisconsin from "a to 200 on the
opening Of the season, with 40 more
in process of construction. Indiana
had 2, and is now estimated ct so
factories. Michigan has not in
creased so rapidly, owing to the
fact that more attention has been
given to butter manufacture. In
1870 she had . factories and is now
estimated ct about 63 factories
Iowa has given more attention e
this interest than before. In 1870
she had Z factories only, but is now
yariously estimated At % to 80 fac.
tories, Minnesota had only !, and
is now estimated, but doubtless has
increased 90 much as Iowa.-New

CUT THIS Our AND KEEP IT
Franklin Dyre, a highly respect
able and intelligent farmer of Ga
lena, Kent county, Nd, gives the
following as a sure cure for the
bite of a mad dog. AS will be
seen, he has tested it with the
most gratifying results:
"Elecampane is a plant well
known to most persons, and is to
be found in many of our gardens.
Immediately after being bitten
take one and a half ounces of the
root of the PLAINTIFF green root
is perhaps preferable, but the dried
viii answer, and may be found in
our drug stores, and was used by
me-slice or bruise, put it into a
pint of fresh milk, boil down to
half pint, strain, and when cold,
drink it, fasting at least six hours
afterward. The next morning,
fasting, repeat the dose prepared
as the last, and this will be suffi-
cient. 1t is recommended that
after each dose, nothing be eaten
for six hours.
al have q son who was bitten by
mad dog eighteen years ago, and
four other children in the neigh
borhood were also bitten; they
took the above dose, and are alive
and well to this day. And I have
known a number of others who
were bitten and applied the same
remedy. It is supposed that the
root contains a principle which
being taken up by the blood in its
circulation, counteracts or neu-
tralizes the deadly effects of the
virus of hydrophobia."
