THE DAIRY.

AS LITTLE light as possible should be
admitted into the milk house. Light
is liable to blanch the cream.
INCREASING THE MILK OF Cows
Gentle treatment and rapid and close
milking will tend to the greatest de-
yelopment of the milk in cows and the
contrary practices will have the effect
Of materially reducing the quantity:
Above all, give them an abundance OF
the best feed. 'h
A CONNECTICUT dairyman, who has
been experimenting with turnips as
food for cows, thinks they are worth
twenty-five cents per bushel, There was
nosavingi in the amount of hay consumed,
but they increased the flow OF milk,
and were an aid to the digestion OF hay
and other dry fodder. European ex-
perimenters have come TO the same
conclusion. .t.
"WHAr does a pound ofbutter cost"
and HWhat should pound of butter
.costF' are questions suitable for farmers
clubs and oranges to wrestle with un-
til thew arrive at O. solution. The cost
of pound of butter depends largely
upon whether the COW is a good dairy
animal. Some wswill produce but
ter at q much lower cost than others.
Undoubtedly the present cOstOf produe-
ton might be considerably reduced by
giving attention to the breeding OF COWS
ADAPTED to butter making, and feeding
as will produce the most economical re-
suits. Good COWS should first be So
cured. and then they should befed such
foods as are found BY trial to produce
the best results, and fed to the full ex-
tent Of their power to prOfitably convert
the feed into milk and butter. -Le90lSto1'

The Rose Of Jericho.

At the last meeting of the Royal
Botanic Society, Professor Bentley
called attention to the peculiar proper
ties of the so.called Rose of Jericho,
pointing out that during the dry season
It becomes coiled up into a ball, and is
blown about the dry, sandy deserts OF
Egypt and Syria for many months; but
at the first shower of rain its leaves ex-
pand and it becomes apparently reviyi-
fed as if its life were renewed. Ii
placed in water, or in moist sand or
earth, it opens out in similar manner;
and it is SO sensitive to moisture that it
indicates bysimilar changes in its leaves
the presence or absence of moisture In
the atmosphere, and thus acts as nat
ural vegetable hygrometer, in the same
way as a bunch Of seaweed will become
hard and dry in fine weather, and soft
and leathery in damp or rainy weather.
In this case it is the salt which is pres
entin the leaves that is acted on; and
it is onite possible that a similar ex-
planation Of the phenomenon in the
case Of the Rose Of Jericho might be
found if the plant were subjected to
careful ANALYSIS. AS the first Rose Of
Jericho was brought to England as long
ago as 1897, it is time that the cause OF
its curious properties was discovered.
The rose has been called a vegetable
barometer; but this is evidently incor-
rect, as it isinfuenced by the hygTomet-
ric and not the barometric state OF the
atmosphere. Scientific american.

Small Economies Of the French PeO'
pie.

A Paris correspondent writes; The
French people have been called "a
penny people" but the real expressive
ness of that phrase cannot be under
stood except by residence among
them. Living in hotel or Pension de
Camille, one learns comparatively little
of its meaning, but in making a home
with French families, in going to mar
. ket and buying at the small as well as
large shops, a stranger realizes the very
fine line drawn between economy and
stinginess. So fine, indeed, is this line,
that7it is hardly strange that the former
should run into the latter. "a
The first item Of economy that strikes
one is in the use Of wrapping paper,
Every good housewife goes to market
with a large basket on her arm or car
ried by servant, not so much as a CON
venience for holding various purchases,
but because they will be handed her
without morsel of covering: Vegeta-
bles, fruit, eggs, fish, bread, rolls, ETC.,
are carefully weighed and placed di-
rectly in your basket. and if pushed by
a sense Of nicety, you ask for scrap Of
paper, the usually CHEEKY face of the
stall-keeper clouds over as she hands
YOU a scanty piece of old newspaper, or,
perchance, bit Of common brown
wrapping-paper, which, it is evident, in
giving she regards as clear deduction
on her profits.
Passing q stout old woman with red
cheeks and q white cap, who was wheel
ing little wagon fpears along, | asked
her if they were good. Every good,
monsieur, very good. will show you. "
And with knife she cut one open and
began to eat it. As the fruit disap-
peared down her capacious throat, l
asked: :" But, madam, why did you
not permit me to taste it?' J" Because, "
she replied, coolly, elf monsieur did
not like the fruit he would not wish to
pay for bite of it, and | should lose SO
much; therefore, / taste for him, and
nothing is lost. 1t is so much Of my din
ner."
The tradesman has, however, his
match in the frugal French housekeeper,
who considers it duty to weigh her
purchases on reaching home, and should
She have bought anything like honey or
pickles, requiring a dish, she knows the
exact weight of the same, and if the
shopkeeper has not amply allowed for
it, woe to him. This household economy
extends to the veriest trihes-even to
the pairing of vegetables, which is so
carefully done that Mr.. Pig profits little
by the process. Als r.Es
AS to fuel it is collected and cut and
weighed and sold like gold. Driving
through the beautiful wood of the Bois
de Boulogne, the great pleasure resort
Of Paris, one notes the workmen cutting
down a dead tree here and there. After
it falls it is measured and cut into logs
and sticks, forming bundles of different
sizes, and even the twigs a finger in
length and as large around as straws are
sold by the charbonnier for five cents q
bundle. heoW 7'hr 30 - A.N+"

POlI.eyHo

In the treatment of this case the pa
tient should be confined on a light diet,
and a potion ofcooIing medicines should
also be given-ten or twelve ounces OF
Glauber salts dissolved in six gills of hot
water. AS soon as the liquid is sufi-
GENTLY cool it should be gently poured
down the throat from smooth-necked'
champagne bottle. The tume6ed parts
should be kept constantly wet by means
of bandages thoroughly saturated in
mixture composed of equal partsot pure
cider vinegar and cold water. This
trestinent should be well perseVered in
for sfew days. Should the tdmor in
the meantime increase in its size and
the parts develop much heat, pOultice
of bruised haxseed should be applied
twice daily for forty-eight or ninety-siX
hours, or until the tumor manifests a
fluctuating feeling. You will please note
that no procrastination should De in
dulged in, such as waiting patiently for
the tuplor to break of its own accord,
but as soon as the matter can be distinctly
felt bv pressure make an inCisiOn slant
inrly with sharp knife upon the right
Uideof the neck as the base of the abscess.
The incision or cut must not be made so
deep as to come in contact with the
spinal cord or marrow. The opening OF
the base of the tumor should be made
sufficiently large to allow the pus to
freely escape as fast as it forms. A
seton should be passed down from
the natural opening at the top of the
tumor through the artificial opening
made at its base. Before inserting the
seton it should be dipped in tincture of
cantbarides. This will be found the
safest and best plan to adopt for pro-
noting healthy granulation and adhe-
sion of the walls of the tumor. The tis-
fulous track is not probably very long,
and the tape-seton will work its way
gradually but efficaciously out, by which
lime the cure is made. A stimulus is
also necessary TO be applied to the in
terror of the tumor by resaturating the
seton, in three or four days after it is
first inserted, with a solution made by
dissolving ten grains of nitrate Of silver
in one ounce of cold water. This latter
named stimulus should be applied twice
Der week until healthy discharge OF
ms appears; then stop. In the open.
inc, from the top down to the artificial
opening at the bottom, should be in
ieoted three times a week 3 stimulus
composed of one drachm chloride zinc
dissolved in one pint Of cold water. APP
plv the zinc lotion in half an hour after
using the cantharides tincture and the
nitrate of silver solution. The tincture
of oantharides should only be applied
once, and the nitrate Of silver solution
on the third or fourth day after, and
continue as long as found necessary (;
but the zinc lotion should be applied
once daily until q healthy ganulation
takes place, then every second or third
day until the parts heal sound.-M =

There could be no more meapingiess
adiuration TO fighting Frenchmen than
tO tell them, " Strike for your altarg and
your firesr' for just at present they
seem very much at variance as TO what
their affairs are, and fires, an American
would say, they don't know the mean
ing of, and for this reason the cost Of
fuel is much more matter Of iHditfer-
ence to them than it could be other
wise. There are numberless families
here who, except in the kitchen, never
have tire from one years end TO the
other in their houses, and 1t must be re-
membered that France is by no means
a land of perpetual sunshine and balmy
breezes, but that the winters, while
without the sharp severity Of our own,
are chilly, rainy and fOrlorn.
Looking a little deeper, however, one
can understand chat this fiTeless condi-
ton is due, in q great measure to the
fact that the French people have no
homes in our sense of the word. Coffee
and rolls in bed in the morning does
away with breakfast; at dejeuf1er, OF
lunch, the head of the family goes to a
cafe down town, and to dine out is the
rule. After dinner comes the theater;
frequently the husband going to one and
the wife to another, and there are no
children to demand family reunion.
The kitchens here are cold and com
fortress, the long range Of blue and
white tiles having three or four small
iron grated pits for the cooking. a
generous handful of charcoal will fill
one, and in the lighting of these little
fires one sees another stroke OF econo-
my. At the charbonnier's can be bought
for one cent box of pine splinters that
have been dipped in some infammable
LIQUID, and of which there are enough
to light half dozen fires. One would
consider this kindling sufficiently eco
nomical to be within reach of every one,
vet [ have seen women in comfortable
circumstances, and with a snug little
sum laid by, spend fifteen or twenty
minutes igniting charcoal with bits OF
paper-a most laborious process.

That there is nothing wanted in France
is certain. Every night the streets Of
Paris are swept, but not until they have
first yielded a harvest to the army Of

Since the successful termination Of

that their woeful predictions have no

one Of tho four winds Of heaven, as

We do hear Of their attempts, now

A MONEY ROOM.

State warrants have gone up to 81
and unfunded Louisiana S's have been
sold as high as 60 cents on the dollar
in New York. These transactions
show that capitalists are turning their
attention toward securities that bring
more than the proposed three per
cent United States bonds.
So long as moneyed men could OBJ
tain National Securities at four, five
and six per cent interest, they pre-
ferred to take them, even by paying
a premium, than to loan money to
real estate owners, or to invest their
spare capital in State or railroad
bonds.
Money has become so plentiful,
however that its fortunate owners
must either let it slecpiin their Golfers
or put it out in aid of individual OF
local enterprises. The day of high
rates of interest is rapidly fading
away,and the country will soon enter
into such an era of prosperity and
plenty as was never before seen.

PULL BACKS.

There is one man in town, we I'M
derstand, who is opposed to the rail-
road, being of the opinion that the
town is sufficiently large, and if it
should Increase in population that the
competition in trade and mercantile
pursuits would correspondence in
crease, until none but men of business
and of progressive ideas could keep
up with the onward march. This is
all very true, and the sooner all such
men retire to the shades of private
life, to give room to men of liberal
and advanced views, the better it will
be for Lake Providence and the
surrounding country. As Judge Ben
ham wisely remarked at the meeting
on Monday last, ''the only effeetual
way toreach thcpenurious andnarrow
minded property holders, who are
anxious that their property should
advance in value, and want the public
to push it along, but are unwilling
themselves to contribute one cent,
should be reached by direct taxation
Every community has it's pull backs
and do-nothings, and weregret to say
that Providence is 10 exception-but
thGt they are few in numbers, our com
munlty have reason to rejoice.-Lake
