COMFORT OF THE Ccw.-At a iate Dairy
Convention at Elgin ILL.,, President Ea-
vile made the following remarks on taking
care Of Cows:
In am not going into the detail of the
care of dairy COWS, but will lay down one
genera. principle. This, think, ifcarried
out in the minutia, will secure the desired
end. The principle is this:
In everything consult, so far as possible,
the comfort of the cow. Let all the ar
rangements that appertaln to her keeping,
such as food, drink, shelter, treatment, and
general management, be such as shall tend
to her comfort and quiet; then, aud not
till then, can we reasonably look for the
best results. The question of feed for the
dairy COW is so important that l trust you
will pardon me for taking time to urge it
upon your attention. Breed Is important,
but feed much more so. Persons about
engaging in dairying look over the reports
| from this Association, or read the papers.
They, see 80 many. cows kept, and from
them so much. money made, and they seem
to forget all the rest. They 90 on and get
the required number of cows, and when
the end of the year comes they are obliged
to divide the profits by two, for the reason
that they have not well considered the busi-
ness in all its detail Many men Il will
not say dairymeD) seem to think anything
is good enough for aeow. The warm side
of rail fence is good enough for shelter,
and chance to feed at the straw stack,
with an occasional dressing of marsh-hay
and chance to run in the standing corn
l silks, good enuubh care and feed for the
, COW.
1 They seem to feel that grain fed to cows
! is aim ost thrown away. The horses and
a hogs must have all the grain, and leave the
cowsto take care of themselves. These
are, in my opinion. very mistaken notions,
, for its costs only little more to keepa COW
! well than in the manner have described
Indeed, it costs only little more 20 keep &

during the entire milking season, while th

= The difference of cost, then, in the tw
methods of feeding, is the difference of. ez
pence i'll raising an acre of grass and a
acre of corn. We have the same invest
ment for land, and it is only the diferenc
in labor, and when we strike the balenc
between the cost and profit, we shall fin
large balance in favor of the grain.

"DERvIsH EMIR PACHA."
This decree practically invests every Mo-
hammsdan with absolute power because
he is a Mohammedan. The right of
conveying any suspect before the
Pacha, who would put him to death, involves
the right of overcoming any resistance he
may offer, and any Mussulman therefore is at
liberty to offer any insult or any outrage to
any Christian neighbour. This privilege, We
need not say. will in such a land produce
worse scenes than even the %soldiery will cause,
though they are allowed to slaughter men and
women for "harbouring rebels that is, for
helping their sons, brothers, and kinsfolk to
escape immediate death from infuriated Asiatic
%soldiery. The people Of the Herzegovina are
in fact to be slaughtered down till the Turkish
Governor is enabled to report that order
reigns once more, and then England and
France will resist the proposition certain to be
brought forward by the three Powers to raise
Servia, Bosnia, and the Herzegovina into a
Hospodarate. 1t is, in English judgment,
better that ~iniquities Of this kind should go on
unchecked, than that Turkey should be beaten
in a diplomatic contest. There is no question
of weakening Turkey, or increasing Russian
influence, or commencing war. All the people
ask is that they may be let alone, that taxation
may be modified into tribute, and that they
may be freed from the government OF men
among whom this Dervish Emir Pacha is pro-
badly by comparison q mild and enlightened

A VISITOR TO LONG BRANCH,
From the Herald.)

The Baron Gedalia, of Copenhagen, ia here
with a proposition that will excite a c0mmo-
ton IN financial circles, provided, always" as
tue lawyers say, that it amounts to more than
similar projects generally do. 1t is nothing
less than a plan for the immediate resumption
OF specie payments by the simple process of
putting greenbaoks up to par with gold. The
Baron keeps his secret we'll as to the means
by which his great object is to be accom-
pIlshed, but does not hesitate to declare that
the practicability and efficiency Of the scheme
will be admitted by all competent fnanoiers
as soon as it is announced. He has had one
interview with President Grant, but His Ex-
c~ellency, although an excellent listener, is slow
to pronounce an opinion, hence the Copenha-
gen obtained nothing but q qui-
ct suggestion that the Secretary of the Trea-
sury was the best person to consult upon the
subject. Whether the Baron designs to inform
US now we can Immediately pay off all our
national Indebtedness as we'll as get rid of our
government and national bank rag money is
at present a secret, but, no doubt, the public
will be informed Of all particulars of the great
scheme before waking up and finding their
pockets filled with gold coin instead of green.
backs. The proposition of Baron Gedalia is
not a novel one, as His Excellency and His
Excellency's secretaries know to their cost.
The correspondence of the Executive and
Treasury departments is materially increased
in bulk, if not in interest, by plans for imme-
date resumption and the instantaneous wiping
out of the national debt. Our volunteer fnan-
cial saviors are as numerous as the Nebraska
grasshOppers and almost as troublesome. The
difficulties to be encountered by the Baron,
are, first, the bad odor that attaches to these
propositions in the Treasury Department, and
next, the embarrassment which his scheme,
if an effective one, would throw in the way
of our approaching Presidential campaign.
What would become of the financial issue upon
which His Excellency expects to be elected
for his third term if imitation and reputation
were no longer ''rooks ahead; in the course
of the democratic ship The Baron is too
soon with his proposal to blow these rocks out
of water. He must wait at least, until the
national banks and their enormous profits have
been made available in another Presidential
fight.

1t IS quite impossible, we are aware, to in
terest EHglishmen in the fate of the Herzegovi-
ia. 1t is true that the instruction is spreading,
till the kilograms from Coustantinople, which
have been consistently false, at last admit that
the means taken for its suppression have been
insufficient, and that an army is to be
despatched to the spot. 1t is true that the
sympathy Of the Servians has been awakened,
until Prince MilanO may be forced either to
head his people or to quit his throne,-in
either of which events there would be war
with Turkey on one side, and her Slavonic
population on the other. Aud it is true that
