MILK Breeding.
lAmerican Dalryman.1 I


Dairy farmers are raisers of milk,
they ought to- be breeders of milk.
How should this be done? Why
should they breed milk? "What is
breeding milk ?" To answer these
questions in their inverse order
Breeding milk is selecting and pair
ing animals so that the yield of milk
in their progeny will make them
remunerative for this quality. The
farmer who has a first-rate milk
COW, or who would breed one can
afford to ignore every other quality
except milk yield and constitu-
Milk outweighs in value every other
product. Beef, labor and calves,
the only other products we get
from a neat animal, are Insignificant
compared with milk, provided only
we are situated so that we can make
use of it. A great many dairy farm
ers calculate to obtain all their cows
by purchase from drifting droves.
That is buying milk in anticipation ;
and though such milk may often be
very good, the farmer not only runs
great risk of disease, consumption,
and the like, but he loses both the
pleasure and profit of breeding his
own stock.
Breeding for milk is what many
dairy farmers claim to do How
many breed milk ?-obtaln the actual
result? This they ought to do, and
they ought to take pride in seeing
their herd OF deep mixers and rich
mixers grow year after year in
quantity and quality of the product
from the number of cows. In almost
every dairy section there are some
such farmers. They buy from the
cow dealers only to fill an empty
stall, or feed up surplus crops. Their
herd is their own. They know its
pedigree and its produce, and they
know that it pays them to raise their
own cows.
The milk-breeder selects his cows,

Learning Too Fast.

A well-known physician has lately
said that when a young woman
comes to consult him he always asks
whether she stood high i'll her class,
SO constant a correspondence has he
found between the graduating aver
age and the poor girls feeble health
Aud this is easy to understand. A
boy might stand the amount of ap-
plication and of excitement to which
girl is subjected i'll her school
years, if any boy could be found to
submit to it; but no parent would
expect of boy what is exacted OF
his daughters at this early age, And
yet nothing is more certain than the
period of life during which our girls
are having their heads crammed
with all sorts of possible and i'm
possible learning and accomplish
menis, their minds upset with pub
lie exhibitions and their bodies
wearied with perpetual unrest, is
just the period that determines
whether they shall grow up healthy
women or helpless invalids.

THE platform of the California
Democracy thanks the Democrats
for their struggle against Chinese
immigration; appreciates the move
ment of the eastern workingmen,
notably in Pennsylvania, against
moneyed corporations; denounces
the Chinese as an unmasked curse

mands that the next national Demo-
cratic convention shall declare for
the removal of every Mongolian in
the country demands the material
reduction of railroad fares and leg
islatiou which shall tax railroads on

Not the Whole Truth.
TAmerlcan Register.1


1t is said that Ex-Governor e. j.
Davis, who has distributed federal
offices IN Texas ten or twelve years,
and by this means has his agents in
each county to keep the negro voters
in line of battle, will be a candidate
for congress in the Austin (the capi-
tall district. Davis will not receive
one hundred white votes and the
negroes are IN minority. He will be
candidate in order to be beaten,
and thus win the pity and bless
ings of the administration. If
southern adventurer would
have a foreign mission or other fed
eral appointment, he nobly sacrifices
himself as an alleged candidate for
congress. and then swears he was
bHldozed and cheated, and either
has himself counted in by the Calk-
ins committee or is sent on a mis-
sion to South America, or the Sand
wich or other islands. If the presi-
dent now will agree to exile Davis,
he will, receive every Republican
vote in the district. He is deemed
a great marplot, having almost de-
stroyed his party in Texas, and its
leaders are anxious to get rid OF
him

The bill passed by the house to
retire the trade dollar will, if it be-
come law, yield quite snug profit
to the government. 1t directs that
standard silver dollars shall be ex-
changed for trade dollars. OF the
trade dollars coined by the govern
ment about $9,OOO,OOO remain in this
country, the others having been ex-
ported. This dollar contains 42O
grains of silver, while the standard
dollar contains but 4123 grains.
Therefore, ON every dollar exchanged
the government will make y grains
of silver. But as the standard dollar
is worth just as much in circulating
as the trade dollar, the government
will make the profit without any loss
whatever to anybody.

and they were found to be very

They grew finely and the blood was

Politically Dead.


The idea of Governor Davis is to
concentrate the entire opposition to
the Democracy, including Green
hackers and disaffected Democrats.
What success such a movement will
meet with, remains to be seen. No
man who has been true Democrat
can conscientiously join movement
headed by such man as Davis. Per-
sonally, Davis is said to be a perfect
gentleman and good man, but
politically his record will not bear
inspection. His acts are well known,
and his speeches will be remembered
by all Democrats who ever heard
him on the stump. In his call he
virtually admits that the Republican
party in Texas is politically dead
1t has no earthly chance of electing
a state ticket.

A Noted New York Operator


In talking to-day to a banker
about business affairs, he said to me
"The money is now being made
among the spectators by the persis
tent bears, such as Cammack and
Traverse"
Which is the abler ofthose men ?''
l asked.
Why, Cammack. He is a rather
singular person, but man worth at
tenlion. He is rather friendless,
but half social in his manner; but
have found him a truthful man
whenever he had agreed to tell me
anything. He does not take prompt
ly to strangers, and is very suspi-
cious of any information he gives
getting out to the general public, so
that he will profit solely by it. But
when you get to know him he is re-
spectacle in what he tells you. If
you were to ask him about a
certain line of stocks, his reply
might be: "What are they
selling at" and then would
stop. But if L should ask HIM, after
some years acquaintance, whether
a certain rumor was true about his
buying or selling or doing this or
that, and he would say to me, There
is not word of truth in IT. should
go away perfectly satisfied that he
had spoken honestly to me-"
swell, two of them are patience
in waiting and rapid decision when
he concludes to act. He will wait
for months before he strikes, but
when he is ready he deals with a
powerful hand. He came to New
York with absolutely nothing. and
is not worth to-day less than $3, ,0OO,-
600. When he makes money he
makes it with great rapidity. For
instance, in these bear times he will
sell 100000 shares on a rapid decline,
and perhaps go out OF the mar
ket worth over over $50O,OOO.

1t is with an unfelgned pleasure

indeed, the almost unanimous sup
port which the Hon. John ID. Tenn
pleton is receiving at the hands of
the press and the people for the re-
sponsible position of attorney gen.
eral. If for this the state is wanting
a sound lawyer, q gentleman whose
escutcheon, private and public, is
without reproach or suspicion, and
one who will at all times be the
faithful, laborious, competent and
courteous official, then the conven-
ton, to meet at Galveston next
month, can do no better than to place
the coronal of preference on the true
and tried and well deserving gentle
man of Fort Worth.
