HOW TO MILK.

Some mixers seize the root of the teat
between the thumb and forefinger, and
then drag down until it slips OUT of their
grasp. In this way the teat and udder both
are often severely injured. The proper
mode of milking is to take the teat in the
entire hand, and, after pressing it upward,
that it may be filed from the capacious
milk reservoir above, to compress it first at
the base between the thumb and forefinger,
then successfully by each of the three suc-
ceeding fingers, until completely emptied.
The teat is at the same time gently drawn
upon, but any severe traction is altogether
unnecessary, and highly injurious. The
COW should always be MIXED regularly, and
the milk entirely drawn Off. II the milking
is properly and seasonably done, there is
little danger of disease of the teats or udder.
More GOV are ruined from faults of this
kind than from all other causes, and our
readers will do well to avoid them-Ruual
World.

the range may be improved by their pres

ton. Harrison asked for = reference Of

tee. which has n majority In favor OF

made that the bill should be referred to
the Ways and Means Committee. which
Is opposed to free ships. Harrison's
motion to take the bill to the Commerce
Committee was carried by u vote OF 81
to 40. which is regarded as an indication
that the Commerce Committee will re.
port q bill in accordance with the reso-
luton. The vote was very nearly par.
tisan. but few Western Republicans vot-
ing for the reference to the com.
mittee.
Persons who have devoted spe-
cial attention to the study OF Mex.
lean affairs claim to have information
that the situation here Is even more re-
assuring than would appear from the
Presidents message. These persons
say they have official authority for the

UNCONVENTIONAL.


.I.st
Beck submitted q resolution that the
Secretary Of the Treasury be directed to
inform the Senate what amount and de-
nomination Of silver coin has ben re-
csived in payment OF customs dues since
the beginning Of the current fiscal year,
and whether or not he has applied the
silver coin so received in whole or In
part to the payment Of interest on bonds
or notes OF the United States, and II 1t
has not been so applied to state the rea'
son why. and IL it has been applied to
that purpose in part only. to state what
portion has been so used and on what
character Of obligation. Also that he DO
directed to inform the Senate OF the
amount OF interest he has paid ON bonds
and notes Of the United States since the
current fiscal year began, and the
amount Of such interest he has paid in
gold and silver coin respectively.
Edmunds-I should like to have that
amended so as to have the Secretary
show what kind OF silver coin has been
used, so We may know II there was SUBJ
sidiary coin paid.
Thus amended the resolution was
agreed TO.
At the conclusion Of the morning bust.
ness Matthews called up the Texas Pa.
cidc Railroad bill and made m address
In favor thereof. He argued that the
Government would merely guarantee the
payment Of the interest on the bonds oil
the road TO the extent OF nearly S2,OOO.-
900 per annum. II was manifest that
the indemnity TO the Government was
perfect. and loss by the Government was
impossible unless 1t should turn out
aitor the completion Of the road that II
should not be worth the accrued inter-
est, but such a superstition was not to
DO entertained. He did not believe the
Government would be called upon to
make any advances out Of its W treas.
ury. The Texas Pacific road, skirting
the southern boundary OF the United
States, would form a base line from
which lateral lines would radiate, at.
tracing q new and profitable trade, and
soon a market would be found for the
products OF the United States in Mexico.
The general influence OF such trade over
our national interests with Mexico would
be powerful. The construction OF the
Texas Pacific road would result in u
saving TO the Government OF more than
80, OOO, 900 per annum. 1t was not fair
nor just TO the present measure to dis.
pose Of it upon the summary objection
that II was a subsidy. He then spoke OF
the Constitutional power OF Congress to
regulate commerce, and said the Texas
Pacific bill should be passed as q matter
OF justice to the Southern States. ~ the
Government owed protection to oil and
demanded obedience alike from all.
An executive session followed, and
when the doors were reopened the Sem
ate adjourned till tomorrow.
