Keeping Up the Milk.

THERE is loss that all farmers can
guard against and that is the effects OF
the winter storms, both of continued
cold rains and early snow storms, that
come so suddenly and chill the cows to
the very marrow. 1t makes no differ
ence in how good flesh the COW may be,
the sudden cold will shock the system
and there will be an almost total sus-
pension of milk, the draughts upon the
system to withstand the cold calling for
the part that should furnish the milk
supply. 1t is not great job to put the
cows in the warm stable, and from those
fall stores that have been provided, so
feed them that there will be no dimin-
ishing of the milk. The deal of though
ening an old cow TO stand the cold" is
one of the relics-we had almost said
barbarisms-that needs to be expunged
from every dairyman's creed. 1t is a
practice that requires double restora-
tive in the way of care and feed and
has its after effects that could have
been avoided if the stable and a liberal
feed had been substituted. -Erchange.

THE DAIRY.

Mr.. GEORGE CONNER, of Burlington,
considers ton of cornstalks worth more
than ton of hay for cows. He feeds to
each mich 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 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 112 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,
1927 Taking the weight 600 lbs.) OF
native COWS, they produce twice their
weight in milk; Ayrshires, six and one
half; Jerseys, four and one-half; Hos
stems, five times.
The careful owner of COW should
always consider that the udder is a
highly nervous and vascular organ, pro-
vided with very finely ditfused 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 a 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 SteO-
art, in Rural NeaO Yorker.

Poor Relations.

"IT is melancholy TRUTH" SAYS
Dickens, "that even great men have
their poor relations" but it seems to us
that it is more sad to reflect that small
men are provided with the same abomi-
nations. The great man may perhaps
stand upon his own dignity, and carry
his poor relations along with him with
out finding them hurt or hindrance;
his greatness adds luster to their in
significance, which in no wise detracts
from his Importance; he floats on the
top of the wave and takes them in tow.
But there is nothing for the small man
to do except to grin and bear the m;
there is little or nothing in his internal
economy to mitigate the affection, I'M
less he should happen to possess that
virtue which is able to convert misfor-
tunes into advantages, which enables
him to make use of his INDECENT friends,
or to regard their vulgar circumstances
with indulgence or Indifference. One
hardly knows, meanwhile, if there is
anything to choose between the poor
relation who is servile, and after the
pattern of Uriah Heep, or she who is in
accessible and afraid of patronage, who
holds you at arms length, lest you
should presume too much upon the acct
dent of her poverty or your consanguin-
ity; to whom one would dare offer only
the choicest gifts; whose double dis
titled sensitiveness takes alarm at the
slightest familiarity. Perhaps, how
ever, in order fully to understand the
situation, and to make just allowance
for pride which is overweighted and
humility which is slavish, it
would be necessary for each of us to be
a poor relation once in a lifetime to look
at existence through her speetacles; to
suffer her sights, her embarrassments
to wear secondhand clothes, accept
secondhand attentions; 10 be the per-
son whom it is always safe to overlook
with no fear of retribution; obliged to
receive favors and continually from the
same source; to let talent become
sterile orlack of fertilizing opportunity;
to waste ones sweetness on the desert
air of obscurity. Perhaps such an ex-
perience would make us more tender
and more considerable of the poor rela-
ton when she comes in our way. Hath
not a poor relation senses, affections,
passions, no less than Jew? If you
wound him, shall he not bleedP If YOU
tread on him, shall he not turn? Is his
sight so obscured by poverty that he
does not know injuries and selfshness
from caresses and generosityP Is he so
chastened by want that he accepts in
suits with gratitudep No doubt it is
oftener our own consciences rather than
any disagreeable trait or unuttered cen
sure which render the poor relation Of
fensive to us; her very existence is
tacit reproof of our own self-indulgence
and luxury; the ghost of her necessities
refuses to be laid, but haunts us with an
almost unreasonable pertinacity; and
though it is the fault-or virtue-of our
own organization, the fact that she re-
mains living rebuke to us does not in.

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 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
day 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
wine faster, men who become very pro.
ficient in this art, being called in to pass
Judgment on 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
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
ject. 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 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 man taking a 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, if
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
point out correctly the essence of merit
in it, and ten to one you will be able to
catch the hang of the thing and be able
to do it yourself.
In cultivating the taste for testing
butter, one thing must be borne in mind
Do not choose as the, best article that
which is most liked by your own family.
They may have their peculiar notions
What you want is to study the tastes of
your customers and make your butter
come up to their requirements, no mat
ter what opinion you may have oftheir
judgment on the subject. 1t is far
easier to adapt yourself to them than to
force customers to take your butter
against their will They will not do it.

STORY OF AN OLD sYINDLH.

On May 2, 1866, man by the name of
ness as broker in Wall street for about
six or eight months, succeeded in obtain
ing 5000, 600 from various bankers and
brokers in New York on forged gold certifi.
Gates, apparently signed by the CONT
mental Bank. Ross gathered in the whole
sum in two hours and decamped with his
booty. He was never arrested, although
detectives were Immediately put upon his
track. It was alleged at the time that the
banking firm to which Ross presented the
gold certificates at once forwarded them to
Che Continental Bank to see If they were
genuine, and that the messenger returned
and stated that the cashies, after closely
scrutinizing them, had pronounced them
to hbe good. This statement was sub.
sequently denied by the cashier, but at
any rate the banking firm sent the certifi-
Gates the same day to the Commonwealth
Bank and they were passed by the Clear
ing House in the usual manner and the
money paid to the Commonwealth Bank.
The Continental asserted subsequently,
that the certificates were forgeries, and
commenced an action for the recovery of
the money. In this connection it may be
stated that the signature of the bank
teller of the Continental Bank, appended
to the certificates. was executed with re-
narkable skill, and the most experienced
experts in the city at the time failed to
discover any difference between the genu-
inc signature and those alleged to have
been forged

TUg SHAM JULES BERRAur.

The writer of the letter signed Jules
Berraut, and pufporting to be from tie
former servant of Roger Tichborne, is al
most beyond doubt an impudent impos-
tor. This conclusion can only be fully
spprehended by an investigation of the
known facts in the history Of Roger Itch
borne, but those facts appear to convict
the writer of the letter of imposture. In
the first place the real Jules Berraut testi-
led at the trial of orion that he had ac
compauied his master on board the Bella,
and had left him there, and had seen the
hip sail. In the second place, when Itch
borne applied to the Captain of the Bella
for passage, he was short of funds, and
vas obliged to ask the Captain to wait for
MS pay until the end of the run. Now the
Captain, having perhaps heard similar
stories told by impecunious people, was
not certain how to act, and so he called
% his aid another Captain, his friend and
particular intimate, named Oates. Cap
tain Oates proposed that they should ask
the young fellow (Tichborne) to take sup
Der with them on board one Of their ves-
sells, and that they would then have an
opportunity of judging whether he
was what he represented himself to be.
This plan was acted upon, and Roger Itch.
borne supped with the two captains, who
- -, t,.Go3 oe lie oJ,-o,,ox- 81 ocr-oo]
to take him in the Bella. Captain Oates
subsequently, saw Roger Tichborne on
board the Bella, and accompanied him tc
the mouth of the harbor when he left on
his fatal voyage. There is one other cir.
cumstance tending to prove that the real
Roger Tchborne never had any idea OF re.
naming in South America, and that is the
fact that in his last letters home he direct
ed funds to be forwarded to his order at
Kingston, Jamaica, which he had fixed
upon as his next stopping and at
which point he was to have paid for his
passage. These facts, whether taken sepa-
rately or together, render it almost abso-
lutely certain that the letter signed Jules
Bsrraut Is the work not only of an impostor
but of one who has failed to acquaint
himself with the history of the Tichborne
case. The seeming support given by the
publication OF the letter to the pretensions
of the San Diego claimant thus proves to be
wholly illusive and insubstantial.

THE PRESIDENT.

Yesterday there was faint improvement

by the temporary cessation of the nausea
whose recurrence on Sunday had so alarmed
his medical attendants. The inflammation
OF the parotid glands had not subsidized,
and suppuration was being freely contem.
plated, though it was admitted that lis
consequences might be fatal, and must be
very dangerous. There ara then two seri.
Gus factors in the case, besides the wound,
VIZ the stomach, and the parotid glands.
II The Presidents stomach does not recover
and keep its tone, he must die. II sup

pyania may result, or equally fatal ex-
hanstion. This is the situation, and it
would be foolish to pretend that 1t iusti-
