Butter and Cheese.

Since cotton was dethroned, corn has
become king, but the COW is after the
corn, and may yet have to be made queen,
since the COW now furnishes, in butter
and cheese alone, products second only in
value to the corn crop of the country.
The international dairy lair, which
opened in New York last week, has called
attention to the statistics of the butter
and cheese manufacture, from which it
appears that there are 100000 COWS
in the United States, or more than there
are in a number of European nations,
having more than four Tires the popu-
lation of the United States. The value
of the butter and cheese products is
$50, 600, 900 more than the value of the
wheat crop, and is second only to that OF
corn. The Importance Of the industry is
further shown by the fact that over
Sc, 100000 is paid annually for the trans
portation of butter and cheese to con
sumers, 81, 100000 being paid as ocean
freight. The exports have been steadily
increasing, and this year will amount to
1870 900, 900 pounds Of cheese and 25,OQ0,
900 OF butter.
St. Landry democrat., 1879-02-01
Unequal Taxation.

The New York Farmers Alliance
makes the following interesting state
ments:
In 1871, the real estate in New York
WAS assessed at 1889, 930, 500, and the
personal property at $422,6O7, 1882. AS
the personal property OF New York
equals, if it does not exceed the value of
its real estate, thesfs figures show that
six wears ago three>tourths of the per-
sonal property of New York was untaxed.
In 1874, despite the great depreciation
in the value of real estate, it had swollen
on the assessment rolls to 81, BE, 252, 1853,
while the assessed value OF personal
property had declined to- 1868, 483, l4S.
Taking the same rules as betore-that
personal property equals or exceeds the
value Of the real estate, 1t shows that
six.sevenths of such property is untaxed.
Real estate increases yearly in assessable
value more than $100,O00,00O, while
personal property decreases $1o,O0O,ooo
wear. While the burden on real estate
increases, it is notorious that it is the
leas, productive kind OF property, and
costs least for its protection. Personal
property, six-sevenths of which is UNI
taxed, costs most for its protection, and

Quinine i'm America.
New York World

The members of the College OF Phar-
macy met at the college building last
evening. The lower lecture hall was
crowded with prominent druggists
Daniel @. Robbins, of McKesson & Rob-
bins, was the lecturer of Intervening, and
his subject was "Quinine in Commerce
and in Pharmacy" Quinine, he said,
was important far above any other
single drug. While the total consump-
ton of opium for all uses, legitimate and
otherwise, was not over 100000 per
year in this country, there was a con-
sumption of over 100000 ounces of quiz
nine yearly, which at low rate of 50 so
per ounce amounted to $2AOO,O00.
Quinine was discovered by Pelletier in
1920, and was slow in working its way
into use. Calisaya bark was long sold as
proprietary medicine. For a long
time it was cheap, until the Peruvian
Government undertook to make it a
monopoly, when the price ran up to
420 an ounce, and the manufacture was
built up in the American market. The
poorer grades of bark come here. The
present duty is 20 per cent, on quinine,
while the bark is free. The advance of
scientific methods has rendered our tariff
a ridiculous burden, and the talk about
bleached quinine or of American quinine
is mere nonsense, since the best bark
goes to the European market, and the
great variations OF price there are lost to
eur American consumers. In making
the salt the bark is powdered, mixed
with fuiel oil, and then with cheap
caustic, and then sent to the refining
room. But the great point Is to fix the
value of the bark, and here we are very
far behind, and there are only three
experts in this country, while the Ger
mans, with every thing against them, are
the best makers in the world. Quinine
ought to be made here cheaper than in
any other country.
St. Landry democrat., 1879-02-01

past and the present came to them all
day and all night, telling them that
civilization was not blunder, but a
truth, so the heart bewildered in religion
may become treasured if it will turn
from the small to the great, and will ask
the human soul everywhere to sum up
for it the virtues of faith in God. To
you thus gazing, religion will come in
the simjlitude of fact, not truth of
which you can not doubt, but as An idea
standing near by the most absolute
verify. 1t is indeed possible to question
the authority of Christ, but to question
the authority of atheism, that god of
night and oblivion, is more possible and
easy still; Tor it has never acted like a
truth, carrying men to grandeur On
proud wings. And hence the soul filled
with the solemn mystery Of life and
