The Advantage of Improved Over Common
Stock.

Joseph Harris writes as follows on
this subject in the AaRICULTURIsT
The improvement of the domestic
cow has increased her capacity for
digesting food, and her economy in
digesting, and has extended to her
glandular structure, giving it greater
power to throw off the products of
digestion in valuable form. 1t is
believed that the effects of domestica-
ton and copious feeding, has been actu-
ally to increase the length of the intes-
tines, and Cuvier states that while the
intestine of the wild boar is nine times
the length of his body, that of the
common domestic boar is thirteen and
ahalf times, and of the Siam breed
sixteen times Whether entirely from
this cause or not, it is certainly true
that the superior cow will give larger
proportional return from copious feed
ing, than will an inferior one and while
it may be profitable to feed corn meal
and other nutritious food to animals of
the best class, it is quite sure to result

class. The result we wish to obtain in
feeding dairy animals, is to obtain a
valuable product in the form of butter
and cheese, and this is an artificial
result-to obtain it we must use artificial
means, that is, an animal developed BY
ART to an unnatural determination of
the products of digestion to tie udder,
Some of Dr. Sturtevant's general
conclusions are as follows: "The pro-
duction of butter is largely dependent
on BREED There is structural limit to
the butter production of each COW !;
When the cow is fed to this limit, in
creased food cannot increase the pro-
duct. The superior COW has this struc-
tural limit at greater distance from
ordinary feed, and is more ready to re-
spond to stimuli than the inferior cow
The character of the food has some in
fluence on the character of the butter,
but even here breed influences more
than food"

WASHING AND WORKING BUTTER
Take the butter from the churn, into
cold water, (not ice-water,) then work
it as little as possible, salt it, and let it
stand for about four hours then give
it good working and it will be ready
for use.

The Euronean War.CIoud.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times telegraphs MAY g. that I'M
easiness prevails in well-informed circles
in Paris. The most serious minds be-
ieve that danger is. impending. Poll
claiming to be well informed at home,
assert that peace or war depends on the
approaching meeting of the Gar and
German Emperor. No one denies that
powerful party in Germany, comprising
the entire military element, feels that
the late treaty was too lenient that the
indemnity paid has already returned to
French Golfers; that the possession of
Belfort by France is dangerous to Ger
many that France is recognizing rap
idly, and will soon be able to furnish a
formidable army for alliance with other
nations /; that Germany is no richer than
before the war, and her finances and
special organization cannot long support
the expense of the present armament,
and she cannot disarm In the face OF
France. The military party in Germany
are convinced that never was there a
moment more propitious than the pres
ent to secure for the country long era
of prosperity and peace. War ought to
be promptly undertaken. 1t is
necessary to march on Paris and
take up a position where a new
peace can be signed, which takes Bel
fort from France, limits her active
army, and extract ten milliards in twenty.
years. Paris could be attacked if France
refused to sign. AL the powers have
confined themselves to timid, friendly
representations with regard to the Bel
gian notes, which only shows that to fin
ish with France now is duty to Ger
many and humanity. Europe will never
be tranquil while the blunder of treaty
which leaves France ready to revive and
re-enter the struggle is unrectifed. What
maybe promptly executed at insignifi-
cant sacrifice would, two years hence,
cost oceans of blood. Russia must be
convinced of this necessity.
The Times correspondent adds: :" 1t
would be untrue to say these arrange
ments are accepted In Germany, outside
of particular party. It would be equally
untrue that these menaces are destined
to be realized. The diplomatic world,
even In Germany, declare she cannot
fight against an enemy who declares for
peace. Honest Germans scout the sup
position. The Emperor has scruples.
but the party of immediate action urge
it as duty to sink all considerations in
order to save the country. They insist
that France be made to accept reassur-
ing treaty if she viii not fight. Ger
many, in order to have the right to re-
proach France as the cause of uneasiness,
must solemnly disclaim the above theo-
ries."

somewhat benevolent aspect for two

"Then why do you loaf about here 2"
said the gentleman. "Why don't you

ssThat will do said the gentleman,

tn proffered coin and grimly trod away
without word of thanks. He went not
in the direction of those places where
eatables are exposed for sale, but laid
his course for the nearest undergrad,
where a group of members of his tribe,
seated upon an old horse blanket, were
manipulating the pictured papers OF the
white man. There, planting himself on
his launches, he took deadly, deliberate
aim. and fired one more shot at his fa

no meat. AS he sat sucking the end of

wistfully about, it was plainly to be seen
that he was still very T" hungry Injun.

the robber. The train then continued its
Journey, and when it arrived at Crestline

it was laid out in the office, it was pulled
aside, revealing the well-known features
OF Fl. G. Binkley, of Fort Wayne, once
a conductor on the road. The feelings
and astonishment of those standing
around him, and who had been his asso-
ciates for years upon the road, cannot be
described. He hail hitherto borne q
good character, and was generally liked
by those with whom he was thrown in
contact, and the terrible fact that he had
so suddenly descended to an express rob

member in good standing of the Order OF
Red Men, and also of the Conductors

great excitement.
He leaves a wife and two children. He
was discharged from the road some time
since for gambling. This was the only
real vice he was known to have had, and
that contracted within year. His body
will be taken to Fort Wayne for burial.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

Weekly Review of the Chicago Market.
FINANCIAL.
There WAS a better local inquiry for favors at
the banks from local spectators. The supply
of funds was large and rates ewithout change.
Government bonds firm.
BREADSTUFFS.
The grain markets have attracted large share
of Spectators attention. and an active business
was transacted. The June option was the
favorite, the bulk of the sales being for this
delivery. Seller May was at discount, nobody
wanting the cash property, shippers being out
of the market. May shorts bought quite
freely, but not until values had sus-
tanned a general and quite severe decline. and
then the shorts were willing to take in their
profits. The stock in store is steadily and rap
idly accommodating and there was general local
pressure to sell. Wheat was weak and lower
and the other grains shared in this weakness
sympathy with wheat being the principal cause
of the reductions. The advices from New York
and Liverpool were of an unfavorable tenor,
and the receipts were large while the ship
ments were light.
The following tables shows the prices current
at the opening and close of the past week:

to his story with remarkable pertinacity. His
amendments to the tripartite agreement, as ex-
planned by him, showed that he shrewdly avoid
ed committing himself to an avowal of Beech
er's innocence of the charges laid at his door.
He simply withdrew" them and in place OF
declaring the innuendoes false he regretted

Tilton was simply business agreement, and
was not promoted or retarded by what BeecheT

by Mr.. Beecher relative to the interview with
