THURSDAY. May 6-P. n.
The story of to-lav's stock market may be told
briefly. Whatever may have been the plans OF GER
tain large operators yesterday as to the immediate
future of prices those plans to-day were set aside
by the continued and persistent sales OF long
stocks made for the account of specUlator OF some
note. who, for reasons probably satisfactory
to himself seems to have determined to accept the
market for the remainder of his stocks. That so
large sales of stocks which in turn, by reduction
of prices induced other sales, both for the long
and short" accounts did not affect the
market more seriously, IS reasona3!: accounted
for bg what appears to be fact that
the buyers of yesterday eOrSnned their
purchases to-day. but at market" lad not at
"bullingn quotations.
The total business of the day amounted to 495.36O
sbares. against 271 029 shares yesterday. Erie re-
corded sales OF III. 600 shares at from 4l% down

THE DAIRY.

Mr.. GEORGE CONNER, of Burlington,
considers ton of cornstalks worth more
than ton of hay for COWS. He feeds to
each milch COW one bushel OF finely cut
stalks, two quarts of bran and two
quarts of cobmeal mixed and wet with
water, both morning and evening.
AT the late English dairy show, held
in London, the highest prize for white
cheese was awarded to a lot made in
Herkimer County, New York. This
cheese was not over eight weeks old.
After the show some of the prize cheese
sold at eighty shillings per ll2 pounds.
THE following is said to be- the COM
parative milk yield of the various breeds
of COWS: A native COW produces annu-
ally 1874 lbs. of milk; Jersey, 1920;
Ayrshire, 1890; American Holstein,
4,527. Taking the weight (950 lbs.) Of
native COWS, they produce twice their
weight in milk; Ayrshires, six and one
half; Jerseys, four and one-half; A6.y
stems, five times.
The careful owner of q COW should
always consider that the udder is
highly nervous and vascular organ, pro-
vided with very finely difused circu-
latory and secretive apparatus, and that
slight injury may have very serious
effect upon it, II is most probable that
the cell structure of the milk glands is
itself the source from which the milk is
derived, and that these cells are replen-
ished from the arterial blood conveyed
to and distributed through the udder.
When, therefore, it is considered that
in COW giving thirty pounds of milk in
twenty-four hours, all this quantity is
actually produced by the two fold
change of blood into cells and Of cells
into milk and cream, the activity of the
organ which performs this enormous
work must be, indeed, wonderful; and
it should not be surprising that sup
posed insignificant circumstance may
produce some unexpected and serious
results. Bearing this in mind, one who
keeps COW should ever be watchful
and cautious against the least variation
of treatment that may so easily affect
the condition of the milk. Henry Ste'0-
art, IN R1rGJ Neto YORKER.

goes out of fashion at the close Of the
Parliamentary session, with its lordly
relative, the silver-coated salmon. Cod
and skate, which lie about in all direc-
tions, are just coming in, and while had
docks and plaice seem numerous enough,
turbot and oysters are rather shy of put
ting in a plentiful appearance. Norway
Holsters are not just now in season, SO
that one visiting the market at present
loses the sight Of their sorting in the
haddock-room," over the ground floor
market, a sight well worthy of behold
ing.
AS six and seven O. clockapproach the
business becomes fast and furious. The
fish arriving by boat and by rail are be-
ing rapidly sold of, for the most part
by auction. There is but little time to
haggle about prices; the market figures
are tolerably well established almost
from the moment the gates are un-
barred and customers are too anxious
to obtain their required supply, and to
carry it off to distant parts of the me-
tropolis, to waste time in beating down
for pence, for shillings, or even for
pounds sterling. From the steamers
and the Dutch eel boats, hung with
cages round the sides, and fitted with
wells inside to keep the fish alive; from
the heavy barges laden with shrimps,
which are shoveled like grain into bas-
kets, or with mud-colored founders
caught by and beyond Blackfriars
bridge; from the railway vans in the
narrow roadways, crowded with fat-fsh
and fresh-water fish, or with huge
baskets running over with Shiny eels,
the porters make their way in and out
of the market. The numerous narrow
byways that radiate from the base OF
the tall bully that lifts the head and
lies' in Latin are thronged with COS
ter-mongers' carts and barrels, so that
for the general public these so-called
thoroughfares are positively impossible
up to nine or ten o'clock.
AS the market exists, its business is
carried on with all possible propriety;
and taking into consideration that its
lowest chamber, which, by the way, is
scarcely ever used, is ten feet below the
level of the river, it is kept remarkably
dry. This has to be effected, however,
by means of steam power, which keeps
continually pumping the water out from
under the flooring, and which would, if
allowed to rise, flood the building in
thirty-six hours. Strange to say, too,
this drainage is not water from the
river, for it is perfectly pure and taste
less, but is supposed to percolate
through the earth from the Coal Ex-
change, opposite where it is said the
Romans Of old had established spring
baths. London StaDdard.

Cultivate the Taste.

THERE can be no doubt about the
ability Of any man to cultivate his senses.
Hunters learn to see with accuracy great
distances, SO do sailors; musicians bring
the sense of hearing up to the finest de-
gree of perfection. Blind men often
become so proficient that they can tell
the color of a garment by simply feel
ing of it, while men employed in the
business of buying and selling great va
rieties of makes of butter, learn not
only to grade and tell the name of the
maker of each lot, but in some in
stances they can tell almost to a
dav the exact age of each lot.
This is very simply and efficiently
done by cultivating the sense of taste,
We once heard of an instance where a
wine faster, men who become very pro
ticient in this art, being called in to pass
|. Judgment on a hogshead Of wine, deci-
ded there was slight, very slight, taste
of iron to the wine. This was not be-
lieved by the owner of the wine until
the cask was empty, when he found a
small iron key in the bottom Of it. We
do not expect every butter maker to
reach this height Of perfection in the
art of tasting, but there is one thing he
should do, and that is study the sub
iect. To do this, let him taste all
the fine butter he can get hold of,
and not with the set notion in
his head that his make is finer,
but with an honest effort to find where
in this lot differs from his own make,
Has it a stronger butter taste, or has it,
as it probably has to him, more in
sipid taste-a little too fine perhaps for
his tobacco tongue. If so, he should
get his wife to do the tasting. When
you hear of a man taking premium on
his butter at fair or dairy convention
this winter, ride over, if it is ten miles
away, and examine his butter. Taste
it over and over again until you catch
its peculiarities. Take some home, il
you can get it for love or money, and
talk it over with the members Of your
family. Some of them will be able to
