Demand fdr Winter Butter.

Only few years ago nearly all the
butter consumed during the entire
year was made in the months that COWS
gould feed on grass in the pastures.
Butter manufactured in May was kept
till the following December and Jahu-
ary before it was eaten or sold. It was
then thought that the best quality of
butter could only be made in the months
of May, June and September. -" Grass"
butter was considered as in every re-
spect superior to hay or winter butter.
IL had q finer aroma. a sweeter taste,
and an agreeable yellow color. 1t was
ordinarily packed in tubs or crooks and
preserved in strong brine. In those
days farmers aimed to have their COWS
drop their calves early in spring, 30
that they would give the largest
amount Of milk during the summer. A
farmer with large herd of COWS wanted
only one of them to give full mess of
milk during the winter season.
! Consumers at that period were not
aware of the great difference between
fresh and stale butter. In January they
had no butter fresh from the churn to
compare with that made six or eight
months previous. Besides the winter
butter made at that time was very in
ferior to what winter butter now is. 1t
was very hard, nearly white, and al
most destitute of aroma. 1t had a close
resemblance to tallow. 1t was gener-
ally made from the milk of farrow
cows that had little to eat except straw
and hay. The facilities for keeping
the milk were very poor. The quantity
any farrner had was small and Il was
necessary to keep cream several days
in order to get enough for moderate
churning. No one expected to make
prime article of butter during the win
ter season, and it is rare that any per-
son does better than he expects to.
But everything pertaining to butter
making has changed during the past
few years. Persons who went abroad
found that fresh butter was in the
markets of European cities in winter as
well as in summer. This butter made
in winter was in no respect inferior TO
that manufactured during the summer.
A few persons in this country COM
menced to make winter butter for
epicures. They were successful in man.

taste soon demanded fresh butter in
winter as well as summer, and cream
cries commenced to supply the growing
demand for it. IL was found that as
good butter could be made in cold as in
warm weather, If all the conditions
were favorable. II was necessary, how
ever, to have a large supply Of milk,
so that cream could be churned before
it became stale. To insure supply of
milk it was necessary for COWS TO drop
their calves in the fall instead of in the
spring.
The advantages Of making butte. in
the colder rather than during the warmer
portion of the year are many. Butter
commands higher price in the winter
than in summer, and more is consumed
In cold than in warm weather. The ap-
petite for fats increases as the weather
grows cold. There is much more leisure
In which to take care OF milch COWS and
to do ehurning in winter than in summer.

American Watehes.

The American Watch Company Of Waltham
received last week an order from the British
Government for 372 watches, intended for the
use of conductors, engineers, station-masters
and other employees Of the state railroads Of
India. This is the third large order received
BY the company from the same source, and,
like the former ones, was obtained In public
competition with foreign manufacturers The
London "Jeweller aud Metal-Worker,n IN It's
issue of January 10, observes, in reference to
this order;
"The contract for watches, to be used by
the officials on the Indian state railways, has
again been secured by the American Watch
Company. This Is the third time Messrs. Rob
bins a. Appleton have received this distinction,
which is not barren one, for It must be eYi-
dent 10 the most pretudiced individuals that
the timekeepers supplied on the previous Oc-
casion must have given satisfaction, and an
sWered the tests required Of them. This ID a
mortlfylng fact for Engllshmen, especially for
those who believe that were manufacturers
here to show more enterprise they would be
able 70 compete advantageOusly in the manu-

The Human Race Running to Brain.


If there is to be so much head work,
what will become of us ALP If both
men and women are to develop more
and more their brains, we shall soon be
not far from the realization of the
words of Diderot, who said: ave walk
so little, we work so little and we think
SO much, that do not despair of man
ending by being nothing but head. Z"
Figure to yourself civilized man 100 or
200 years hence, when manual labor
shall have been entirely replaced by ma
chinery, and when the dreams of Social
lists shall have been realized, and man,
even in the lowest grade of society,
shall be able to gain his livelihood by
working say three or four hours out of
the twenty-four. The tendency, you
will observe, is constantly to reduce the
hours of labor. In many parts of Eng
land, for instance, the hours of labor
are little more than half what they were
fifty years ago. Imagine, then, the
movement spoken of by Diderot con-
stantly progressing, and man walking
less and less, owing to the Increased fa-
cilities of communication and locOmo-
ton, and working less and less, owing
to the constantly increasing use and per-
fection of machinery, and thinking more
and more out of pure distraction>and
out of the ennui of civilization! Imag-
inc woman, thanks to the realization of
the projects of Mr.. Camille See, and to
the establishment of Girton Colleges all
over the world, imagine woman walk
ing even less than she does now, work
ing less, and thinking more and more!
What shall we come to, great Darwin
Does not the theory of evolution point
to the inevitable realization of DiderOt' s
wordsP win not our legs wither away
and return to the rudimentary stage like
our tailsP win not our arms and bodies
diminish, and muscles for which there

elements be absorbed by the brain and

email proportions of a caricatureP-

THERE is a general idea among the
admirers of great, brilliant, or interest
ing writers, that they must be as spark
ling or as fascinating in their coiVersa-
ton as they are in their books. But
authors differ like other people; and,
particularly in each others society, are
not apt to scatter their good things pro-
miscuously about. These have cash
value and they can't afford to waste
them. A story is oold of Mrs. Stowe
and Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford, who
were for some time left alone with each
other in a room. Subsequently the
latter was asked what she and Mrs.
Stowe found to talk about; to which she
replied that Mrs. Stowe asked her what
time il was, and she answered that she
did not know.-I1didna Sentinel.

What Will the Democratic National Con-
YentiOn Dol ~,

The Democratic National Odnven-
tion to nominate Presidential ticket is
to be held in Cincinnati on the 22d of
June. Cincinnati is now happy, per-
haps. Thurman's argument that Cen
eral Grant would probably be the Re-
publican nominee; that he will carry
New York and Illinois; and that Ohio
is the only State in the North in which
the Democrats can expect to have
even fighting chance, appears to have
prevailed with the National Democratic
Committee. And then the Cincinnati
papers promised solemnly to treat the
Democratic Convention more honOra-
bly, and fairly than they treated the last
Republican National Convention. And
there was a pledge that the price of
drinks should not be raised during the
Convention. Besides, Kentucky, the
great fountain of old bourbon whisky,
is close by.
Nevertheless, this selection of Cincin-
matt as the place for holding the Ma
tional Democratic Convention may have
its shocking drawbacks Suppose
Thurman Is beaten in his own Statel
Suppose Pendleton, and all the, rest of
the Ohio soft money leaders, are laid
out cold in their own STATED Suppose
Tilden, who is hated by the Cincinnati
Enquirer with a deadly hatred, and who
is the black beast of the Ohio Democracy
generally, is nominated at Cincinnati
Suppose Hendricks and the Indiana De-
mocracy are skinned and their hides
nailed up to dry on their own doors, as
it werel Suppose hard money Demo-
cratic 1nlatforu should ha adOnta1 In
Ohio, and showed forcibly down the
throats of Ohio and Indiana Democrats
These are awful contingencies which
impend and now force themselves upon
the consideration of Western Demo
Gratis. In view Of these, especially II
some of them really happen, the fact
that the barrel is tapped in Cincinnati,
and not elsewhere, viii afford only a
melancholy and lugubrious satisfaction.
Even if the Cincinnati papers behave
themselves decenJly during the eonven-
tion, this will afford no consolation to
the victims. performance Of 1.-THE

Moreover the Democracy of Chicago,

, BISHOP HUNTINGTON has declared
that the Onondaga indian reservation
is plot on the face of the State of New
York, and a bill has been introduced in
the State Assembly which proposes that
the Governor, Comptroller and State En-
gineer and Surveyor be constituted a
commission to secure the dissolving of
the present treaty relations of the State
with the Onondaga Indians, provided
the assent of majority of the Indians
can be obtained. Should this bill be-
come a law the Indians would be made
citizens of the State of New York as far
as holding property and amenability to
its laws are concerned. A canvass of
the tribe reveals the fact that
about half the Indians, mainly all of
those who have become Christians,
are favorable TO the measure.

BosroN has for some wears mast been rival

BosToN has for some years past been rival
ng New York in money facilities. There
has been more capital there accessible for
business purposes than New York could
boast, and New York has begun to feel it.
The Baltimore Sun gives the following ex-
PLANTATION of the matter. 1t says: "The
New York legislature has of late years made
desperate efforts to include all banking can
ital in New York city in its tax-lists. AT its
last session it passed bill, which the gov.
ernor signed, 'to provide for the taxation of
banks and of moneyed capital engaged in the
business of banking, receiving deposits or
otherwise This act taxes the average of
the money used by those institutions at the
rate of one-half of one per cent, including
all deposits and funds of all sorts. 1t also
taxes shares in banks as personal property.
The effect Of this law is Immediately
seen In decrease of 100000
bank shares on tho assessors books
IS compared with last year. But this is no.
the whole effect Of this system of taxation.
The federal and state taxation on national
banks in New York amounts to nearly 8 per
cent, and this burden seems to be heavier
than this class Of capital can bear. The cap-
ital Of the New York banks in 1872 was sS4,.
100000. In 1880 It is S600O0,0OO, showing

doubt result most benefcislly every year
when yellow fever may become epidemic.

THE people in the great cities are becom-
ing frightened because of threatened ad-
vance in the price of ice. 1t ia claimed by
dealers that the supply in the country IS
running short, and therefore as supply aud
demand regulate prices, the cost of the
frozen fluid must go up. The question arises
and is appropos to this discussion, what did
Mr.. Seward buy Alaska for If monopolists
can make corner on ice! 1t is true the
Alaskan ice crop was pretty short the past
winter, the freeze being only forty
feet thick, yet Alaska ought to
hold the balance of power in
this sort of controversy. 1t is not the ad-
vance in the price of the ice in itself that the
people of New York so much object to, but
it is the advance in the price of juleps that
will necessarily follow. "Why," they say,
those De Golyer fellows, "here we have to
pay 81 per hundred for ice, while those
white league southerners, in Charleston, only
pay rs cents The thing is horrible With
Hancock president and ice cheaper in the
south than in the north, the ku klux will
