Questions for Dairymen,

Every dairyman should have
a printed list Of questions, post
ed in some suitable place on his
premises which his employees
as well as his visitors will have
an opportunity to read frequent
1ly., We give some of them,
but the list can be extended:
| Do your COWS feed in swamps
and on Doggy lands?
Have you good, sweet run
ming water convenient for stock,
and is it abundant and perma-
nent in hot weather?
Have you shade trees in your
pasture, or do you think cows
make better butter milk while
living down to rest in discom-
fort in the hot, broiling sun?
| Do you use dogs and stones
to hurry up the cows from pas
ture at milking time, thus over
heating their udders?
Do you cleanse the udder of
the COWS before milking by
washing their teats with their
own milk and practice further
economy by allowing the drop
pings to go into the milk pail?
Do you enjoin upon your
mixers to wash their hands
thoroughly before sitting down
to milk, or do you think that
cleanliness in this respect is not
important for butter making?
When a COW makes a misstep
while being MIXED, do you al
low your mixers to kick her
with heavy boots, or to pound
her over the back or sides with
a heavy stool, accompanied by
sundry profane remarks adj
dressed to the cow to teach her
manners?
Is the air about your "milk
barn" or house reeking with
the foul emanations of pig sly,
the manure heap, or other pes
tiferous odors?
Good, fresh clean water, and
in abundance, is one of the
most important requisites for
mich COWS, and it should be in
convenient places, where stock
will not DE required to travel
long distances to Stake their
thirst. If springs and running
streams cannot be had in pas
lures, a good well, with a wind
mill pump, makes an efficient
substitute, and the waste water
may, if necessary, be conduc-
ted back into the well, so to
keep up constant supply of
good fresh water Willard s

THE TYPE WRIrER-An admirable
little machine is now in quite general
use, the purpose Of which is to save
the mechanical labor Of writing with
a pen, and to give legible reading in
place of pcrplcxing and unintclligible
chirography. It is called "Thc Type
Writer" In fair, typc-likc letters it
executes its work with delightful
ease and facility.
With pen about thirty words can
be written in minute, by rapid pen
man. With "The Type Writer" from
forty to sixty can be stamped in the
same length Of time, and every word
will be as clear and Ineligible as
those printed on the page of a book.
The letters are made by the use ol
keys, the action Of which Is like that
of the keys to piano. It is very
simple, and the "mode ofwriting" very
easily learned.

THR Canadian Farmer tells nice
story Of a man named Langley, who
went to st. Mary's bay geese hunting.
Seeing a.moose on the opposite shore.
he fired, and, at the same moment,
porpoise leaped from the water, and
the bullet killed both it and the moose.
The porpoise floatcd to the shore, and
the hunter used it as . raft to paddle
across to the moose. There he found
that the bullet, after killing the moose.
had gone into . hollow tree, in which
was q store of-wild honey, which was
flowing through the hole made BY the
bullet. Reaching for what he thought
was stick, to plug up the hole, be
caught rabbit by the leg. Rather
startled, he threw it violently from
him, and struck covey Of eighteen

adulteration, it may be justly charac-
terized as swindling Of the meanest
kind, for the reason that the prodpct

ers in imperfect health. The miller
who palms off on his customers Gra-
ham -four made from anything save

ham -four properly made is nearly as
costly an article as bolted -four ground
from the same wheat, and, therefore,
when you are offered Graham at much
less than the best bolted -four you are
being victimized; it is either adultera-
ted or it is made from inferior wheat.
A common form Of adulteration, and one
that is practiced BY at least one retail
-four dealer in this city, is to take

to it about sixty pounds Of bran, TWEEN

suit Of the mixture is BOG pounds Of

not be sold at less than 81 to 4 cents

will make q strictly pure article Of

Facts for DemnROgues

[From the New York Evening Post.
A London cable despatch dated yester-
day says
Z" American eagles to the value of &C.,
600 were withdrawn from the Bank of Eng
land yesterday for shipment to the United
States"
A despatch dated September 27, also from
London, is as follows r,
1.-THE FIndncier says $50, worth Of
American eagles we're purchased yesterday
from the Bank of England at 76s. 515d. per
ounce for transmission to New York.
Further remittances are expected, because
the shipments of wheat and cotton from
America are large, and the absorption OF
the new United States funded loan in
Europe is steadily increasing"
These are encouraging signs. They show
two things First, our exports are increas-
ing, the foreit market for American COM
modities is acJlve, and specie, the commod
ity we need, is flowing into this country.
Secondly, American credit is strong and ie
getting stronger, and the bonds of the Uni.
ted States are readily taken au the reduced
rate of four and half per centum. Ali
this helps the resumption of specie pay
ments at the promised time, in 1879 and
promotes the return Of prosperity.
These facts are an answer to the dema-
gogues of the canvass who say that the
hard times are growing harder, and that
there is no hope but IN the restoration OF
the Democratic party.

LARGE REPUBLICAN GAINS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE sTATE-THE REPUBLICANS REJoIc-
ING OVER THE RESULT.
HARTFORD, Oct. 2.-The annual town
elections throughout Connecticut took place
to-day. So far as returns Lave been re-
ceived the Republicans have made very de-
cided gains. In some of the towns in Hart
ford county the loss to the Democrats is
considerable.
Rocky Hill, which gave 81 Democratic
majority in the Spring, goes Republican.
East Windsor gave 19 Democratic major.

Canton was 40 Democratic, and is now 20
Republican.
Avon was a tie, and is to- day 20 Republl-
can.
simsbury changes from 8 Democratic to
Is Republican.
Manchester makes splendid gain, show
ing ITO Republican majority against 20
Democratic majority in April.
New Britain, the home of Congressman
Landers, gave 295 Democratic majority in
April, and to day the Democratic candidate
for First Selectman gets only bare ma
jority of 70 The Republicans elect the
Town Clerk and Collector.
Hartford elects mixed ticket; including
the Republican candidate for Selectman.
Towns within easy range Of Hartford
which gave S69 Dem cratic majority in
April now give 1856 Republican majority,
showing gain of 1,005 Other gains else
where are proportionately large.
Vernon, the principal town in Tolland
county, gives $50 Republican majority The
vote there was a tie at the last election.
Waterbury held city election, and the
Republicans elected five out of eight Alder
men, and fifteen out of twenty Councilmen.
In the town election it gave only so Demo-
cratic majority, against 317, last spring.
No single town that has been Republican
is reported as failing to hold it's own.
Some Democratic towns chow losses, and
but few gains.
The Republicans are very jubilant over
the result, as it justifes the full confidence
they have had for the complete redemption
of the State in November.

cause, the announcement was made that
these arms were French muskets, on their
way from that country to the United States,
where they were to be convertedinto breech-

that our American arms manufacturers are
