How to Make Cows Give Milk
A writer in the Southern Farmer says
that his COW gives all the milk that is
wanted in family OF eight, and that
from it, after taking all that is required
ior other purposes, 260 pounds of butter
were made this year. This is in part his
treatment Of the COW: "If you desire to
get large yield of rich milk, give your
COWS every day water slightly warm and
slightly salted, in which bran has been
stirred at the rate of one quart to two
gallons of water. You will find, if you
have not tried this daily practice, that
your COW will give twenty-five per cent.

Shall Americans Build Ships?

Americans can build and run ships provided
they are afforded anything like the encourage
mcnt afforded to those of Great Britain. The
following comparison between the treatment
of British vessel owners and those of the Unit
ed States we take from Mr. Rnach'- recent
paper. published in the North American Re
view, in answer to the question, ''Shall Amcri-
cans build ships" He says
The key to unlock the worlds commerce is
the fast mail ship. How did England turn
this key: Since 1887 she has paid two hundred
and twenty-five million five hundred thousand
dollars in mail compensation and in bounties TO
encourage her capitalists to invest in these fast
iron matt steamships, as follows:
From General Post Onice, 1887 to 1870. $4,000 900
From Mercantile Marine Fund......... 81, 800 600
From General Post Office, 1870 to 1863
(ONcr) 10000 600
From General Post Onice, 1860 to 1869 5o,ocoooo
From General Post Olice 20 to 1879. 10000 900
Assistance from British Treasury to
her shipping since lS31...... S2222, 800 900
Now how did the United States turn this
key? | will give you an illustration. The
following will show the announcement i'm the
way of mail compensation given by our Gov

ed in opening new markets in the foreign trade

Among the many peculiar industries
ferreted out by the special agents of the
Census Bureau, one of the most curious is
said to have been discovered in Boston,
where a firm is reported to be doinga large
business in making an imitation honey in
the comb. Singular rs this statement APP
pears, there seems to be no reason to doubt
it. According to tho account given by the
special agent to whose knowledge the case
was brought, the comb is nodded out of
parafine wax, in good imitation of the
work of bees; the cells are then filed with
simple glucose syrup, favored doubtless
with some genuine honey, and sealed up by
passing a hot iron over them. The product
is sold for the best clover honey, and much
of it is said to be shipped to Europe.
Other observations ofinterest which were
made, were that the confectioners, besides
using glucose very largely as a substitute
for cane sugar. likewise employed immense
quantities of width earth terra Gi5d). II

cheap, is used by the trade to make weight
and bulk.
Great quantities of tomato catsup, it has
been ascertained, are made without outlay
for the raw material, the ingenious anu
facturers gathering the skins and refuse Of
the great tomato canning establishments.
Another industry, the magnitude of
which would certainly not be suspected
is the manufacture of paper patterns fol-
dresses and wearing apparel. In New
York alone there are reported to be no less
than ten such establishments, which con
sumo many tons of paper and dispose of
many thousands of dollars worth of such
goods all over the country.
The manufacture of artificial flowers and
feathers is reported to be rapidly growing
industry.
