tcrest demands great care OF cows producing
milk
Nothing has been more clearly settled in
dairy practice than, this, that it is an utter
impossibility to make good milk from bad
water. And yet hundreds of dalrymen pay
no attention to the matter. There is law in
some States against watering milk, but there
is no law against him who polsons his milk
from day to day and from week to week, by
compelling his cows to drina- from hlthy
pools, Butter daIrymen ought to issue

tions TO be answered, as follows: DO your
cows feed in swamps or on DOGGY lands
Have you sweet running water, abundant
permanent and convenient for stock? Have
you shade trees for your cows? DO you use
dogs and stones to hurry up the cows from
pasture at milking time? Doyou cleanse the
udder Of cows before mil!iingby washing the
cows teats with their own milk, and practice
further economy by allowing the dipping to
go into the milk-pail!

Turkish Women.

There is great deal of misconception in
this country as TO the status and treatment
of women in Turkey. Most persons i'm
agne that every Turk Is more or less
Blue-beard, with four wives at least. and
as many concubines to boot as he can
afford. the whole of whom are the mere
slaves of his caprice. jailered by eunuchs,
and without domestic authority of any
kind. Nothing could well be farther from
the reality. Instead of this paradise plu-
rality being the rule. polygamy, in fact, is
fast going out, rs of the present generation
of Mussnlmans few have more than two
wives, while the great majority have only
one. Odalisques, again, are the luxury"
of the very rich, and very rare luxury
too. for in Turkey. as in Homogeneous
lands. wives are jealous Of their rights,
and-whatever may have been the laxer
rule i'm the good old times-they now-a-
days set their faces stoutly and successfully
against illegitimate rivals. The Khanum
Is in reality a much mistress chez ellie a.
any Christian wife of the day, and has, ii
anything, more than her fair share of all-
thority indoor. Instead, therefore, of the
haren being prison guarded with bolts
and bars, 1t Is rather sanctuary from
which care and trouble are. as far rs hui
manly possible, excluded. The man is
always the bread-winner; he alone bears
the attendant anxieties of life, while the
woman passes her days, If not in Arcadan
innocence and calm. at least free from the
frivolous and not always innocent anluse-
ments which sometimes make up the ex-
istence of her Christian sisters. The
Turks are, unfortunately, not free from
evils, many introduced from foreign coun-
tries. hut there is one evil-the social evil
which has no home among them. The
yashmak, feridjie, and shalwar, il i true.
still hold their ground, but feminine co
quetry has long since displaced the old
Opaque swathing, that hid everything ex-
cept the eyes. for the diaphanous gossamcr
through which the whole battery of the
wearer's charms now plays a. freely as If
no single fold of muslin remained. The
bright eyes flash and the pearly teeth daz-
zle beneath the veil, which, from the fine
ness of It's texture. no longer serves to
conceal. but rather adds an additional
charm To the natural beauties of the wear
er. The yellow papoosh, too. has largely
yielded to the elastic European boot but
the Louis Quatorze abomination and its
" Graceful Grecian bend" are as vet for
eign to the precincts of Stamboul. -Hay-

equilibrium speedily restored. The meth
od is a very simple one. The earnings of

head. This gain is certain Ia b. made "a

population is increasing at the rate of more
than 100000 annually. The contribution
of this increase TO the railroads will add. at
the present rate Of earnings, $l4. 10000
annually 10 their gross earnings. The pop
ulation of the country increases at the rate
of $50 per cent. annually. The earnings

The custom of preaching without
notes is making great progress in this
country and England. Formerly this
mode Of preaching belonged especially to
the Roman Catholic and the Methodist
Episcopal clergy, and was supposed TO be
called for by the popular character of their
audiences and the large number of plain
people among them who needed strong
and familiar language. Now the tendency
sets in the other direction, and there are
many preachers in the Protestant Fpis,o-
copal, Presbyterian. Congregational, and
other churches who generally preach with
out notes. and who secure attention BY
their earnestness and force.
