FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Dairy Interest.

New York, before the annual convention
of the American Dairymen's Association,
we present this extract: Mr.. Reall con-
trasted the prosperity of the dairy in
dustry with other branches OF farming,
business and manufacturing which had
outrivaled all. Cheese and butter were
now bringing relatively higher prices
than ever before. The export last year
to Great Britain, our chief customer, had
amounted to 110,000,000 pounds worth
over $13, 900, 900, large increase over
the past, and susceptible of still greater
enlargement, Butter had also been ex-
ported to the amount of 1900, 900
pounds. 1t was known fact that the
home consumption is not commensurate
with the foreign demand for cheese, but
it is because the best g@ades were sent
abroad and the poorest quality forced
upon our own people. If the American
consumer were given a fine full cream
cheese instead of an article skinned to
death, it would become popular as O
wholesome and nutritious food. 1t was
the skinned cheese which naturally lies
like a grindstone on the stomach, and
give our people the opinion that cheese
was indigestible. A mild rich kind
was demanded by the home trade and
wo Id be appreciated as highly here as
in England. In reference to butter a
stale article, however fine, was no longer
wanted. The public taste had become
80 well cultivated that fresh favored
butter was demanded at all seasons of
the year. To meet this demand the sys-
tenn of winter dairying, 80 successfully
practiced in Illinois where the finest
stock is made at all seasons of the year,
must be extended. Creameries or the
associated plan of butter making must
take the place of private dairies, because
much higher price is realized for the
product and much waste and labor is
saved the dairyman. Besides, all classes
should have the opportunity to enjoy
fine butter, at reasonable prices, as well
as all other articles of food.
Dairying gives it's followers both
physical and intellectual food. No class
think more or discuss more. This was
attested by their conventions which
should continue to be encouraged. They
had been of vast benefit not only to their
members but to the entire dairy COM
munity.
An important feature of the dairy in
dustry has been the successful estab-
lishment of two distinct dairy fairs the
past year. One at Meadville, Pa, and
the other at Chicago, the results of which
would be of lasting benefit. Dairy fairs
were of long establishment in England,
where two had..also been held within the
year. In that country the leading men
of the nation took pride in participa-
tion in meetings of dairymen. At the
fairs, dukes and lords and members of
Parliament officiated. The Prince of
Wales prides himself on having the
finest dairy in England.
Medical Hints.
FoR INvALIDs. Crust coffee is an ex-
cellent substitute for tea and coffee;
brown the crusts in the oven, pour hot
water on, and let it stand for an hour on
the back of the range; use milk same as
for other coffee.
For DYSPEPSIA. II Burn alum until the
moisture in it is evaporated; then take
az much as you can put on dime,
about half an hour before eating. Three
or four days probably will answer; but
take II until cured.
| DIPHTHER1A.- -SulphSr used as q gar
gle is said to be sure cure for diph.
liberia This disease is only an accumu-
lation Of fungus in the throat, and
sulphur is specific for every species of
fungus. If the patient cannot gargle,
put the sulphur on live coal and let it
burn under his nose.
BLEEDING AT THE NosE. - To stop
bleeding at the nose, says al exchange,
exercise the jaws as if in the act OF mas
tication. In the case of child give it
something to chew-a piece Of paper,
for instance. The motion of the jaw
will soon stop the flow of blood. 1t is a
sure remedy, simple as it seems.
CURE FOR INclpIENT CONSUMPTION -
Live temporarily, avoid liquor, take a
daily sponge bath, wear flannel next the
skin, and take every morning one-halt
pint of fresh milk from the COW, mixed
with wineglass of the expressed juice
of green horehound. A person who has
tried this remedy says: Four weeks
use of the horehound and milk, relieved
, tie pains Of my breast, and gave me
, the ability to breathe deep, long and
free, strengthened and harmonized my
J voice, and restored me to better state
, of health than had enjoyed for years,
The remedy to be effective must be con.
tinued for some time.
