German and English characteristics.

In the last number of the Gege,uoart
there is an article by Professor Bluntschi
on "English and German Character
istics." Although, he says, England
has the advantage of Germany as regards
material prosperity, the Germans are
certainly richer than the English in
those advantages which make life most
valuable. In Germany the national
schools educate all classes of the people;
in England they educate only a single
class. The higher schools of Germany
are more numerous and efficient than
those of England, and the German uni
versities and scientific institutions do
much more for the intellectual life of
the people than the English ones do.
German art is far superior, Professor
Blnntschh thinks, to English art, and
German science can show many more
important achievements than English
science, thorough and profound as the
latter is. In literature Germany stands
on an equal footing with England. As
regards individual liberty, Professor
Bluntsehli, while thankfully recognizing
the services rendered by the English
people to humanity in the struggle for
personal freedom against tyranny, af.
firms that the Germans are socially
more free than the English; the Eng
ishman manfully asserts his independ-
ence of all authority but that of law,
yet he is the slave OF social custom. The
Germans, too, enjoy more liberty of con-
science and of opinion than the English.
This is the highest kind of liberty, and
it is the greatest glory of the German
people that they have won it with their
hearts blood. Finally, Professor
Bluntschi doubts whether the form of
Government by party, as established in
England, is to be preferred to the Ger
man system of ministry of officials
controlled by and acting with the repre-
sentative assembly of the nation. In
England the Ministers are party men,
whose position depends upon their party
having the majority in Parliament, and
not upon their ability as administrators
and legislators. Public business is
therefore only too often conducted with
q view to securing parliamentary ma.
jority, rather than to doing what would
be most advantageous to the country.
In Germany, on the other hand, the
Ministry is composed of men trained in
the public service as professionalism
fully equal to English Ministers in in
tegrity and honor, and as rule far SUI
Perior to them in business capacity.

any OF the parties of state, and are con-
sequently free to act in the manner best

Quality Of Cows MIX.

u
A valuable paper has been published
by Prof. G. A. Cameron, in a recent
number Of The scientific proceedings OF
the Royal Dublin Society, on the COM
position of the milk of cows During
the winter quarter of 1880 analyses
were made of The milk of forty-two
cows which were kept at the Govern
ment agricultural institution known as
the Albert Farm, at Glasnevin, in the
county of Dublin. 1.-the mornings and
the evenings milk of each COW were
each analyzed once, and. an examina-
ton of the mixed milk of the forty-two
cows was also made on the 11th of De-
cenber,l 1880. The cows were good
animals, having from one to three cross
es of the Shorthornz breed They were
housed during the period of. the expert
ments; their food consisted of q daily
allowance Of about nine stones of pulped
mangolds and turnips with exhausted
brewery grains. together with about
one stone of hay.i Their ages ranged
from four to nine years inclusive. Di-
syiding t hem into. two groups-those
aked four and five years, and those
aged eight and nine years-a marked
difference anin favor of the milk
Of the latter, both in quantity
and qualitysrwas noticed icThe belief
that milk becomes deteriorated in quail
ity towards the end of lactation WIS not
supported by these experiments. the
quantity naturally became scanty, but
the quality improved. The average
yield of milk for each COW was eleven
and one7qusrter quarts 2 In every in.
stance the quantity of milk yielded in
the morning exceeded the proportion
furnished in the evening, eight hours
Intervening between the milkings.
Thirty out of the forty-two cows gave
richer milk in the evening than the
morning; eleven gave richer milk in
the morning than in the evening, while
the remaining cows milk was equally
good at both milkings. The increase in
the amount of solid matter in the even
ing's milk was chiefly due to the larger
amount of fats contained in the latter.
The result of these analyses showed
that the nlilkof well cows in houses
in the last quarter of the year contains,
when poorest 1890 per cent of solid
matter, including Az per cent. of fats.
The Society of Public Analysts of Great
| Britain and Ireland have adopted as s

per cent. of fats-a total of lilo pei

Don't Let the Cows Go Dry.

A long even season of milk is abso.
lntely necessary to be profitable one.
There is nothing that the dairyman
needs more exhortation upon than that
of giving full ration to his herd at all
times during the milking season.
Every season brings variations in the
supply of food, which should be antici-
pated and provided for in advance. But
the present season is extreme in its
drouth, and we have elsewhere pre-
sented suggestions as to the proper
course to pursue. In this paragraph
we wish to show how disastrously the
want of food win operate upon the fu-
ture profits of herd Neglect to sup
ply the deficiency caused by the drouth
will cause the cows prematurely to 60
dry. and they will also greatly run down
in condition; and thus not only lose the
dairyman the full use of his herd when
butter and cheese, being reduced in
quantity, will be high in price. but his
herd, being shortened in their milking
season. wln be liable to go dry earlier
in future years, and their condition be-
/ ing 80 low, win have disastrous effect
upon their next seasons yield These
losses will more than doubly balance
the cost of feeding them well now. The
COW is q most prompt paymaster for all
she exacts as food. Let us see
the inducements she offers her own
er to feed her well, in drouth or
plenty. Her milk becomes rich
in October, and much less milk
will make pound of butter or cheese
than in June or July A very moder-
ate COW, respectfully fed in October,
will make three and a-haH pounds of
butter per week, which, at thirty cents
"a low price this year, will give S1.05
per week. as to value of her butter, and
the skinl-milk will be worth twenty five
cents more, or Sl.30 per week. Now,
this will easily be produced by adding
TO what she must have to keep her alive
six pounds of corn and oat meal, or
corn and middlings per day, which will
seldom cost more than sixty cents, or
money value. II the dairyman will
feed her what she pays for every night.
she will produce good yield of milk,
and keep herself in good condition, 30
rs to be profitable another seaso n.
There is less excuse for feeding q
good milch cow stingily than any other
farm animal. She does not ask any
credit; she makes prompt daily pay
ment; aud her product is q cash article.

dence and good Judgment, as well as
humanity, requires him to furnish her

We always counsel dairymen TO make
an earnest effort to produce all the. food
for their herds upon their own farms.

dairying requires that they give abun-
dant food to kespup an even flow Of

her approaching death and the fear of en-

af1ll detail Of the horrible affair, in which
she discloses tho fact that she, together
with her son, murdered Mr.. Dougherty

ago and short time before his death it is
said he expressed . wish to disclose some
thing-as it is believed, his share in the

PEOPLE who talk about an independ-
ant judiciary and Of keeping the bench
out of politics. will do well to remember
that that does not consist solely in the
minority accepting the candidate of the
majority party, or in the people electing
the choice of the politicians without a
protest or an appeal for a better man if
he can be found. Political independence
in the selection of judges, which is a
most excellent idea, means that
the people of judicial district
or the majority of them shall
divest themselves of all considera-
tions of party fealty and prejudice, and
select that lawyer of their bar or of some
other bar who most fifty combines the
learning, the integrity, and the high judi
cial qualities which adorn the judgeship.
When they are willing to do that it is
we'll enough for men of all parties to ac-
quiesce in the movement, but for the
minority to stand off and let the small
politicians of the other party, pudding
in their dirty pool, pick out their party
candidate and then endorse him as "a
