poHtical Pensions Inter Ocean.

Hard times and a deplete exche-
oner have Compelled John Bull to
axamipe his national ledger a little,
md Le has discovered that the enor-
NOUS sun annually expended for
nolitical and hereditary pensions is
uselessly wasting his substance. Few
people this side of the Atlantic, and.
indeed, few in England (as complete
returns are never publishedl have
nv idea of the extent of the pension
list of the British Government. There
are to-day hereditary pensions paid
hv England which date back to the
reign of Charles II. A pension of
$1,000 per year was allowed by that
King to Sir II. Charges and heirs
for some political service. This pen
sion has been held for 205 years,
and the large SUN of $4,000 has
been paid to the heirs of this seven
teenth-century worthy. It would be
impossible with the meager facts at
hand to even form an estimate OF
The total amount of these hereditary
pensions. Below are a few of the
most noted
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1879-06-18

l~'uUul ILAAGutu has held Il pen
sion Of $1,000 per apnum for SIXTY
four Years, and has received the
modest sum Of 100000. Niscount
81, Vincent was allowed a pension
oil $4,000 in 1866, and as though
this were insufficient, another, of
$4,000 vas granted him eighteen
years after. The amounts paid on
account OF thes two pensions now
reach nearly &l,0G0,0OO Ia the
Duke = Mar.borongh's name stand,
. peus.oo Of $4,000 per annum,
granted in ITO, which has cost
Laga and $3,3G0,000; while the heirs
Of the Dake Of Srhomberg, Il poiit-
teal friend Of William Ill, have
Netu drawing a pension OF 10000
per annum since 1893, which has
cost, up to the present time, 49,
10000.
IneI e are about fifteen eX-Govern-
Ms on the pension rolls, and most of
these are allowed $4,000 per aunum.
Among other naines on this list is
hat OF eX Governor Eyre, who was
superseded in 1866 in the govern
Aeht OF Jamaica, on account Of the
~Dutchcriea there, and who, at the
Ame, narrowly escaped being hung
ior murder, Eyre now receives near
y $1,000 per annum. 1t is difficult
10 see Why he should be on the PEN
sion roll.
Numerous other pensions are
granted Oh preteXts qaite as insult
"-leu5 as those given above, and for
amounts quite as unreasonable as
vac lew examples we have been able
70 present. Upward of $1,000, goo

It will be observed that two separ-
ate pensions Of $4,000 were grente'i
the Duke of Wellington and heirs,
one granted in 1910, and the other
in 1917. Beside the hereditary pen
sions there are political pensions,
pensions to eX governors OF colonies,
aud pensions to British ex judges,
pensions allowed for every ~conceiv
able reason, and some for no appar-
ent reason whatever. Lord Bacons-
field has a pension of $4,000 per
anunm He has held it for thirteen
yesrs-frum 1859 to 1866, and from
1868 to 1873. The pension was
granted on account OF political serv.
ices, and from it his Lordship has
received 9l30,UG0. Sir George Grey
has a political pension of $4,000,
and has already received 100000
on this account. The heirs Of Will
lam Penn possess a pension Of $2d,-'
900 a year. This pension was grant
ed IN 1850, and has up to the present
year cost England the round sum of
Sl,16O,000 much more remains, as
the pension is held IL perpetaity

INFLUENCE OF MILK COOLING.

In our contemporary, the Msh-Zestusg,
M. A. Kirchner communicates the result of
his recent observations on this point. He
set his milk for cream in two portions, one
which was uncooled and the other had been
passed through a milk cooler. Each por-
ton was setrpartly in wooden troughs, and
partly in tinned-iron pans, and thee expert
ments were. carried on i'll winter, spring and
summer alike. The general conclusions ar
rived at were as follows: /. There is no
essential difference between cooled and I'M
cooled milk, so far as cream raising capacl-
ty is concerned. q. The timed iron pans
give a higher percentage Of fat h the
wooden receptacles. 3. In summer, the
weld of cream from the cooled milk.is great
er than that from the uncooled, because its
souring is longer retarded. 1t is at this
time of the year that the tin pans serve bet
ter than the wooden tronghs. The butter
made from cooled milk keeps far better
than that from the uncooled,- Indian
Farmer.

BAD BUTTER.

In a late lecture before the New York
State Agricultural Society, Hon. L. =. Lew
is said lin my opinion a great amount OF
butter is spoiled, first, by u%ncleanliness in
manufacture second, by too much acid in
the cream third, by casein in a decompos-
ed state inbutter; fourth, by too much
friction on butter in churning and working.
Foul milking stables, impure water, odors
from decomposing matter, all affect the
quality OF the milk. There is over a-pound
more sugar in 100 pounds of milk than there
is Of butter. Sugar acid is the first sign OF
decomposition in the milk. Itsdestroys the
sugar. The second, or Tactic acid, acts up
on and destroys the oils that give butter its
fine aroma. When these two acids are full
", developed, destroying the sugar and arc
matte properties, we4.have what may be
called the natural eleomargarine butter. 1t
is scarcely better than the patent article
Cream should be churned while in the first
or second sugar acid. The best is made
from sweet cream, but thatv made from
sweet cream is more susceptible to odors
than sOur cream butter.

RED AERDRIE.

Among the bulls that changed hands at
the Territorial fair is Red Aerdrie, No 42l0,
S. IT. r. This bull was imported to Mon
tana by Buford Farris, who is establishing
a breeding ranch on Sun River. During
the fair, Chas. Anceny, one of the principle
Shorthorn breeders Of Gallatin county, pur-
chased him for $3.50. The following is his

HORSES LEGS.

In a recent article on the formation OF
horses the Rural New Yorker says:
A plummet dropped from the. point of the
shoulder of a we'll made animal, will reach
the ground at the point of the toe, when a
healthy horse is resting on it's limbs. Ii the
foot is to the rear of this, the eq%nilibrium IS
lost, the action clambering and unsafe. Ii
the line falls "without," the legs are too
close: if it falls "within,'' the legs are too
far apart. Where the limb quits the trunk,
it should be well developed. since here
dwells the power by which the lower paris
of the limbs are impelleds The flesh should
bulge out fora thin forearm is lncompata-
BILE with excellence in a horse. reward
the knee the swelling should gradually Gil
minish, leaving upon the surface OF the JOINT
a broad. clean and firm appearance. IEe
forearm should be long, the shin compare
tiyelv short. for the reach depends mainly
on the former, and no muscles OF any I'M
portance are located in the latter. Though
rot absolutely straight, the sh~iiasshould
present no obvious inequalities. The bone
should be compact, giving to that portion
of the limb, when viewed from the front.
an appearance Of being almost too thin !;
but from d side view, the lower part of The
Leo cannot well be too broad for width
and strength areghere synonymous. Ih4s
applies equally to the hind and forelegs to
the hind legs below the hook as well as.to
the fore ones from the knees down. Each
here should be thin when seen from the
front: neither can well be too deep when
viewed from the side, and both sets should
appear solid and feel almost as hard as met
al. With regard to the hind legs, a line let
fall from the stile, should reach the ground
barely in front of the hind toe, for hunting
and draft horses. When the toes recede, as
in racing stock, beyon this line, it is q to-
ken ola speedy formation. The distance
from the stifle line and the toe, may vary
from four to eight inches, when the animal
is. standing at ease.
By bearing in mind the faults Indicated
in these cuts, note WILDE taken OF ,misplac-

SWELLED LEGS.

General or local debility frequently cause
swelling Of horses legs over night or when
temporarily idle. When this occurs in q
horse that is thin and impoverished, debili-
ty must be counteracted by feeding some
what literally, and by the use OF tonic rem
edies, such as halt a drachm of powdered
sulphate of iron, and three drachms OF pow
dered gentian root, mixed among the TODD
morning and evening during every other
week. Smart handwriting and bandaging
should be employed, tor. which purpose
strong flannel bandaging may be made use
OF, by applying it firmly and evenly, in the
shape of rollers about four yards in length
and four inches wide. Such bandage may
be applied every night, or when the horse
stands idle. Its application should always
be preceded by smart friction OF the limbs,
and instead of fastening them with strings,
Iii better to use strong pins.
