steps to prevent the spread of contagious
diseases among the cattle of that State,

desired effect.
Every practical dairyman knows
full well the Importance of taking proper
care of his cows. 1t matters not how

cows themselves, are managed with a

The proportion of water in milk as
compared with fruits, vegetables and
meats, is not so large as any may sup
pose. Many fruits and vegetables con-
tain from eighty to ninety per cent of
water, and some varieties of turnips
even more, while dry, mealy potato is
about three-fourths water, and yet most
persons find plenty of gravy or melted
butter an acceptable addition to it at the
dinner table, Lean meat contains from
seventy to seventy-five parts of water in
a hundred, and at the prices it usually
sells for in markets. considerably dearer
than good milk to those with whose con-
stitution and appetite it agrees. All can

pared to maintain that proposition in fact

Iy large amount of American wealth into

American spreadeagleism-we all know
what that is-arouses itself from its lair,
shakes terribly its name, scars aloft, flaps
its wings over the hemisphere, and screams
in the sentiment, if not exactly in the
poetical language Of the cOckney of PIC,
cadilly:
1--WE do no not want to fight, but, by Jingo
if We do.
We've got The men, we've got the ships, we've
got the money, too
The metaphor is badly mixed. So is
American spreadeagleism.
British jingoism and American spread
eagleisl are things alike i'll kind. The
Chief difference between them is in their
names and the words they use. The for
mer expresses itself in execrable rhyme,
as above. The latter expresses itself IN
damnable prose, as follows-to wit
"The CIaytOn-Bulwer treaty must be
terminated. The United States
must control and protect alone any inter
oceanic canal across the isthmus In order
to make sure of its rights, and it is now
