Spaying Cows--The Advantages.

DR.. Dadd, of Boston, by his practice and
writings, is calling attention to the great ad-
vantages of spaying milk COWS.
The quality of the milk is improved.
This is especially desirable in families
where children are brought up on cows
milk. The quality is uniform, not varying,
as in the case Of other cows.
The quantity too, is more uniform and
generally is increased for few months af-
ter the operation has been performed.
Some French dairyman claim that the flow
increases even on to the eighteenth month
after the operation. Yet this is matter
that depends largely upon the feed. The
French dairymen do not feed as much rich
feed as is usually given by Americans. In
this country it is the experience of those
who have tested it that after eighteen
months the we'll feed cows begin to lay on
fat and the flow of milk diminishes. But
even here is great gain. The quality of
the beef is said to excel that Of choice steers,
and will command higher price.
DR.. Dadd thinks that animals which are
predisposed to lay on fat can not be expect
ed to give milk in paying quantities beyond
eighteen months or three years. He thinks
a permanent mixer may be had by select
ing native cow of compact, muscular or
BdulZAtlOu, udV1uS 1lGClo ulSpOSluOu W lay
on fat. good mixer, the mother of three
calves. The best time for spaying is in the
spring, when the unimpregnated animal is
in her full flow of milk If the object be
to secure superior, tender, juicy meat, he
would select barren animals, or those apt
to lay on flesh. The operation may be
performed at any time from the age of three
months on to nine years or more. Though
novel to many, it has been practiced for
many years. Nor is it either difficult or
cruel The COW is laid upon her side on
bed of straw, sponge is saturated with
ether, and in q leathern bucket is kept at
her nose until the operation is complete.
The hair is cut away, and an opening is
made on the left side, equidistant between
the lower rib and the hip, cutting through
the cellular membrane and peritoneum, when
the hand is introduced and the ovaries re-
moved. The small quantity of blood IS
sponged away, the parts stitched. the ether
removed, and the tethers Embossed. The
whole operation takes but a few minutes,
and some claim that the COW does not lose
q milking or feed. One farmer testifies
that his cow, Bessie, q native, one year af-
the operation had given an uninterrupted
flow of milk of the finest flavor and richest
quality, from nine to fifteen quarts daily,
according to feed and season, and she had
not increased in fat.
Others, who have kept but one COW, say
they deem it duty to the children to have
the COW spayed. Keepers of COWS in the
city and suburbs will find their profits in
creased and the quality of the milk I'M
proved by the practice Of spaying.

home often makes of the spirited boy
shrewd, narrow minded, and selfish man;
and as the years pass by, these influences
eliminate in covetous and unloving dis
position. The home should be made so
beautiful that the children love it above all

The Railroad Bond Tribunal.

The tribunal created by the legislature to de-
termine the validity of the constitutional amend
ment requiring all bills providing for the pay
ment of the principal and interest Of the Min
nesota State railroad bonds to be submitted to
the people for their approval or rejection, is to
consist of the five judges Of the supreme court,
or if for any reason any Of them decline to serve,
district judges are to be appointed by the gov
ernor to fill the vacancy. The five judges so
designated were required to meet at the capitol
on March %, or as soon thereafter as practic
able.
No public session was held on that day. and
it is reported that several of the supreme judges
and some of the district judges decline to act,
which may delay, and possibly defeat, proceed
ings under the act
In the meantime it ss stated that two millions
of the two million two hundred and seventy five
thousand dollars of the outstanding State rail
road bonds have been deposited in the
state auditors Office or in st. lauls
banks, including those on their way of
whose transmission by mail notice has been re-
ceived There remain about two hundred and
fifty bonds of a thousand dollars each to be
heard from, and it is expected that nearly all
will soon be presented.
LATER.-There is now probability that the
tribunal will be organized as soon as all the
bonds, or nearly all are received, and that it
will be made up of three judges of the supreme
court and two of the district judges, or possibly
of two of the former and three of the latter.

Trying to Get Ahead of the Mails.

From the Newburyport (Mass) Herald
Last Saturday night Newburyport gen
tlelnan, in going to Boston, was asked by
fellow passenger if he would be kind enough
to drop letter in box when he arrived in
the city. Or course he willingly agreed to
do the little errand, took the letter, and
placed it in pocket. Tuesday morning he
put his hand in that pocket and brought to
light the missiye. He had returned to New
buryport and forgotten his errand. Wish
ing to in part atone he carried 1t to the de-
pot, gave it to the baggage master with the
request that the latter individual hand it to
some Boston bound passenger, that it
might be forwarded. The baggage master

to smile, but was dumfounded. At last,
however, he spoke and said: why, Igave
this letter myself toa gentleman on the train
last Saturday night to post. How on earth
came you by it?'' This explanation was
given, when he remarked that the letter had
a history. 1t was written last week Thurs
day by q lady, and given to gentleman
with the request that he post it in Boston.
He courteously acquiesced, put it in his
pocket, and carried it till Saturday morn
ing. He then turned it over to the narrator
of the story, who very properly carried it
until evening, and, as he was not then 90
ing into Boston, he turned it over to No. 1,
of our tale with the results above described.

George Eliot's Romola.

A timely interest is given, by the
death of the author, to the new edi-
ton of her masterpiece, "Romola,'
just issued by the American Book ex-
change, New York. It shows her
work at its best and strongest, and at
the same time gives the reader the
opportunity to acquire a lasting fami-
liarity with the Genes and society of
medieval Italy. 1t is Il of the few
really great historical novels of the
world. It is issued in handy and
beautiful from, extra cloth binding,
simple but rare elegance and taste in
design, and like the other issues of the
Literary Revolution its cost is al
most nominal, viz. 35 cents. It is one
of a series intended to form a library
of classic fiction, which will include
one representative and characteristic
work of each of the great authors who
have won lasting fame in the realm of
fiction. Life is 200 short and too full
of work to permit the reading of all
that is beautiful and valuable in these
creations of the imagination but even
very busy people a find time to read
one book by each of the cor of au-
thors who have won immortal fame
and place in the affections of the peo-
pie. Not to be acquainted with them
isto be ignorant of much that is most
important and most interesting in the
history of nations and of men. Not
to possess them is to be deprived Of
most fruitful and profitable sources OF
enjoyment. Among those issued or
nearly ready are, Scott's "Ivanhoe."
Bulwer's "Pompeii," Irving's "Knick-
erbockel ,"Cooper's "''Tom
Brown at Rugby Adventures oil
Don Quixote' and ''Uarda, a Romance

THE SIGNAL OF DISTRESS.

A house near the foot of the Blue
Ridge in Virginia was buried un-
der huge drifts of snow twenty
days ago. In it lived an old lady
with her grand SON, a mile away
from any other dwelling. She was
completely entombed by the snow
drifting down from the mountain.
and for several days was without
food. Being reduced almost to star
walton, and knowing that a relief
party would not be able to find her
house, she cut a hole through the
roof and thrust a long pole through
the snow with a galy-colored shawl
on the end. An old gentleman liv-
ing a couple of miles away immedi-
ately ordered a cOlored man 10 mount
a horse and take with him food and
fuel. The man rode toward the
house until the horse could go no
further. Tile managed with diff
Guilty to get back home, and his en-
ployer summoned all the hands, and
getting as near the old woman's
house as they could, they worked
with shovels until they cut through
into the cabin. The wOman and her
grandson had both frozen to death.
