THE propriety of the issue of 81 bank
A wholesome respect for gold prevails in that
country, there being almost an instructive
feeling that it is safer and better to employ
coin rather than paper in minor transac-
tions. Since 1920 the issue of notes for less
than e5 has been prohibited. 1t is now ar
gued by some that it is necessary to econo-
mize in the use of gold, wherefore smaller
bills are desirable. To this it is replied that
the notes would tend to supplant good me-
tallic money; that small bills do not come in
for redemption so promptly as large ones,
and are therefore more likely to be counter
feited; and that it is not easy to decide
whether the Government or banks should
issue them.
THE Pail Mall Gazette picks out from the
st. Petersburg Golos all account of two sin
gular Russian sects-the Wanderers and the
Non-payers. OF the first named sect the
fundamental article of belief is that the''czar
is Antichrist, and his ministers and agents
are wicked angels sent to execute his de-
crees to the uprooting of the people of God',
and that the only means to escape from An
tichrist is ''to avoid all society and take ref
uge in solitary woods, deserts and mount
aims" This sect of Hiders, as the peasants
call them, is divided into the Wanderers
proper and the Shelterers. The Non-payers
are very prevalent in the mining districts
and they date from 1861. They refuse on
religious grounds to pay taxes levied on the
emancipated peasantry, and consequently
and to Siberia.

Cause and Cure Of Hard -Churning.

A COMPLAINT comes from Shaker Vii
labe of having to churn six or seven
hours, though the COWS get beside the
best hay, .'beets, shorts and plenty of
salt" The smaller the fat globules of
which cream is composed, the more
difficult they are to churn. AS a rule
they grow less as distance from the
time of calVing increases. At this time
most COWS have been long time in
milk, and are fed mostly on dry feed
and are often losing flesh, aud perhaps
pinched with the cold, all of which tend
to diminish the size of the fat glObules
and make them hard to churn. Hsome
oatmeal, or some food rich in fat, was
fed with the beets in the place Of shorts
it would improve the Churning. All
such food tends to make larger globules
than shorts. But the churning could
be made very much easier without
change of feed simply by setting the
milk as it comes from the cows on the
stove over kettle of boiling water till
it rises to 140 or 100 degrees-till the
wrinkles on il move pretty rapid
ly over its surface--an then
setting it away in the milk
room not SO deep but that
it will cool to the temperature OF the
room in twelve to fifteen hours. This
will not only make the churning easier
but will give the butter higher color
and flavor and more of it than if the
milk had not been heated. Another
reason for prolonged churning often
occurs in the fall and winter from keep.
mg The creans too long. Where the milk
and cream are kept at about sixty de-
grees the churning is best done from
two to two and a half days from the
time of milking. But at this time of
the year it is often kept till it is Q week
or more old, andby this time itbecomes
so sour and slippery that the churn has
but little effect upon it, and itmust be
operated upon the longer to make it
come. If.the cream iskept so cold as
to stop or greatly retard changeit might
be kept longer time, but then unless
excluded from the air it is liable to get
bitter and iniure the butter. The better
policy isin the great ajOrity OF private
dairies to keep the milk and cream at
a medium temperature and to churn
often while the cream is fresh. It
should not be later than the first ap-
proach Of acidityy and just before sour
ing is better both for the butter and the
churning. Professor Z. B. Ar7aoId, IN Az

Best Methdd Of Preserring Posts.


REFRRRINa to the well-known meth
ods Of preserving posts and poles which
are partly imb6dded in the earth, by
charring and coating with tar, tho
Scientific american says these methods
are only effective when both are applied
Should the poles only be charred, with
out the subsequent treatment with tar,
the charred formation on the surface
would only act as an absorber of tbs
moisture and, if anything hasten the de
cay. By applying coating of tar, ac
cording to the same authority, the tai
would only form a casing about the
wood, nor could it penetrate 10 the
depths which the absorbing properties
of the charcoal surface would insure.
Wood that is exposed to the action Of
water or let into the ground should first
be charred and then, before it has en-.
tirely cooled, be treated with tar until
the wood is thoroughly impregnated,
says the journal in question. The acetic
acid and oils contained in the tar are
eyaporated by the heat and only the
resin left behind, which pehetrates the
pores OF the wood and forms an air-tight
and waterproof envelope. 1t is i'm
portant to impregnate the posts 8 little
above the line Of exposure, for here it is
that the action of decay affects the wood
first and where the break always occurs
when removed from the earth or strained
in testing.

The Rearing Of Calves.

IT may be laid down as a first propo-
sition that dairy farmer should raise
at least as many heifer calves as are re-
quired to fill up the vacancies that oo-
cur year by year in his herd Of dairy
cows; and it is all the better if he has a
few more than he wants for that pur.
pose. Some people contend that three
year-Old-in- calf heifers can be bought
for less money than they can be raised
for, counting in the risk. This, how
ever, depends entirely on the facilities
a man has for keeping young cattle so
as not to interfere with his milk past
ures.
On all mixed farms it is commonly a
simple matter enough to summer and
winter young cattle SO cheaply that it
is better to raise them than to buy 9TH
ers for the dairy herd, and many farm
ers find it to their advantage to raise
them for sale when son note" or to
fatten for the butcher. Judiciously car
ried out, rearing pays very well, and
heifers raised on the farm are common
" found more profitable to it in after
life as mixers, than others that are
raised elsewhere and purchased. Be-
sides which it is more than probable
that rearing will always pay well, pro-
viding only that the stock is of good
quality; for the demand for milk in our
towns and cities is sure to 60 on in
creasing and will always be brisk de-
mand for store stock of good quality for
grazing purposes.
A careful breeder can but seldom buy
dairy stock that viii suit him as well as
those of his own rearing. Those he buys
may, perhaps, be as well bred as his
own are in every respect, but if they
are only as well and no better bred,
they will scarcely ever do as well in the
milk-pail as those that have been reared
on the farm. Farmers Union.

THE DAIRY.

A MILK cellar will be coolest when
weIl sunk in the earth, and not much

The most fertile farms in New En-
gland to-day are, as a rule, those that
are devoted to stock and dairy farming.

Dutch cheese made from sweet milk, so
popular in the retail trade, weighing
from three and half to four pounds
each, is being undertaken in Illinois.
BUTTER IN WINTER. If hOusekeepers
would have thermometer and test the
temperature at which their cream is
kept they would save themselves much
trouble. Cream should stand in tenn
perature ofabout sixty degrees, and not
be kept longer than six days. AS long
as milk is allowed to stand near the
kitchen stove, as where many farmers
wives make a practice of placing it in
winter, so long bad butter may be ex-
pected. .........

In speaking of the adaptability of va
rious sections of the United States for
goat-raising, many people appear to
have an idea that the Angora and Cash
mere goats are identical. They are as
distinct as the Merino is from the Lei
cester sheep. The Cashmere is valued
for the production of a small quantity of
extremely fine wool, which grows at the
roots of the long, coarse hair with
which the animal is covered, while the
great value of the Angora is found in the
high quality of its fleece, sometimes
called mohair. Cashmeres are found on
the slopes of the Himalayas and in the
valley of the Thibet and Cashmerei
Angoras come originally from the
ueighborhood of Angora, in Asia Minor.

The Adams Temper.

Residents of Quincy, during the days of John Adams and his son, John Quin- cy, used to speak of the Adams temper. Neither of these great men made the least attempt to conceal his dishkes and preiudices, and both would say disagree able things to other persons.
 John Quincy Adams was once con- versing with gay city gentleman.
 Your young men in New England" said the latter, half-appealingly, "are surrounded by such bad influences; that, perhaps, makes difference"
 "Iwas left pretty much to myself when a mere boy in the most corrupt capital of Europe but it made no difference to me" answered Mir. Adams.
 Of course the gentleman, who had nothing more to say, did not think Mir. Adams winning in his ways. This in frmity of temper, together with his coldness of manner, prevented him from being fortunate in making or in keeping friends.
 As an illustration of John Adams in- firmity of temper, NIT. Congdon, the journalist, relates conversation he had with MT. Charles Francis Adams. It occurred the morning after the inaugu, ration of Franklin's statue in Boston.
 My grandfather" said MT. Adams, "never could keep his temper Frank lin always kept his. The two men never could get along together. My grand father was all fire, said imprudent 1 things, and lost his self-control. Frank lin took advantage of this, answered calmly, argued warily, and for this req son usually got the better of the argu- ment."
 This infrmity of noble mind was, however, the result of that very vehem- ence of spirit which did such good ser vice in the Revolutionary times. As such it may be classed among the many illustrations of the fact that vice Is often virtue carried to an excess.
 But young men should remember that bad temper is a barrier to ones suc- cess. Genial manners prevent battles, and win where harshness and anger would lose. A kind word and a court eous greeting cost nothing, and their effect IS wonderful in softening the as- perites of life.

The Beginnings of Milwaukee.

For several years Juneau was the sole white inhabitant of that region, only oc- casionally visited by wandering trader, trapper or missionary. The nearest post to him was miserable settlement called Eschikagon, at the mouth of Skunk river, some ninety miles across dense forests to the south" All sup plies came by water from Mackinac, the headquarters of the American Fur Con- pany, and the settlers lived far more isolated and truly frontier life than 1t is possible to do now anywhere ln the United States except in Alaska.
 Juneau was sharp, and, in 1881, se- cured from the Indians cession of all the region, claiming for himself 8 large tract on the east side of the river. Then he began to advertise the advantages of settlement there, and, one by one, got neighbors.
 Among the earliest were two gentle men whose names are household words in the city-Byron Klbourn and George H. Walker. They had enterprise and knowledge aud money. Klbourn took up a tract on the west side, and Walker south of the Menomonee, and for many years after these quarters of the city were known respectively as Kilbourn- town" and "Walker's Point" In 1884, Milwaukee county was set apart from Brown county, which has since been similarly subdivided score of times, un- til its former ducal proportions are re- duoed to a mere hand-breadth at Green bay This act showed the enterprise of the pioneers, for tber" were then not white men enough in q region 10 fll the offices provided for by the county organization. More kept coming, how ever, from Detroit and BAtfalo and New England, and the wheezy steamboats of that early day ill lake navigation began to make the struggling village stop ping-place.
 Juneau's log warehouse was the head quarters for gossip. Here were wont to congregate," says the chronicle. Wheeler, "pioneers and sailors to hear long-expected tidings which had fioun- dered through mud and forests and over prairies for weeks before they reached the settlement on the same spot the merchants and multitude generally now read from bulletin the news of the world, which comes fresh and quivering over the wires from every point of the compass once day"
 Such was the irregular, muddy, pro saic beginning of this great and attrac- tive lake port-Ha'per's Magazine.

A ReminiScence.

Still another incident in connection with the great review occurred during the march through the city of the Poto- mac. Custer, the cavalry leader, was riding at the head of his men down the avenue, the recipient of cheers which seemed to never end. "Custer p "Cus- ter !" Hurrah for Custer p was shouted from a thousand throats. The young commander took off his cap to make his acknowledgements when some fair ad- mirer threw from a window a heavy wreath of flowers. This he caught upon his arm. The motion frightened his fiery horse. The animal reared high in the air. The Generals cap fell from his hands. His saber was dashed to the ground, and the horse rushed off at d mad gallop.
 "My God He will be killed" was exclaimed by a dozen spectators in a breath.
 They did not know Custer. Still clutchiLg the wreath, he never forgot to guide his mad steed. He was unable to check it's career, but he firmly kept his seat, and, after the animal had exhaust ed itself by mad race of nearly mile, the rider brought it under control and ! rode Quictle back to bis command, amid i tpe renewed apglanse of those who wit lsc--cd lis wonderful loI eiu.,n. hir- ltuSHjn}+.p kKer.

ReHard for Lost PropertY.

One P. lost diamond pin and pub lished in a city paper the following mo- tice: "Lost, $25 reward-A diamond pin. The finder will be paid the above reward by leaving the same at this office" The pin was found by O., who demanded the reward. which was re- fused. P. then demanded the return of the pin, and, on being refused, brought action in replevin for recovery. Held that the finder, according to the con- mon law, becomes the proprietor in case the true owner does not appear, and meantime his right as finder is perfect right against all others. And he IS en- titled to recompense from the owner for his care and expense in its keeping and preservation but his status as finder only does not give him lien. Yet, if such owner offers reward to him who will restore the property, lien thereon is thereby created to the extent of the reward so offered vs. Pierson, Supreme Court, Nebraska.
