AnecdOte of q Dog.

An incident occurred on the English
seacoast which strikingly illustrates
the sagacity of the canine race. A
boatman having accidentally fallen
over board, was soon followed by his
dog, who seized his cap, with which he
swan ashore, thinking doubtless that
it was rescuing its master. When the
animal discovered its mistake it uttered
a piercing cry, and plunged once more
into the middle of the stream. The
poor fellow had by this time disappear
ed under the water, and the dog could
find nothing to save but the boathook,
which he brought ashore. A third time
it returned to effect its purpose, when
the drowning man reappeared tor a
moment, and was seized by the hair OF
head. Being only a little dog, however,
and beside being greately exhausted,
it was unable to drag its master ashore
but the faithful creature would not
relinquish its hold, and supported the
sinking man until he was picked up
by some carpenters, who had launched
a boat and were Fastening to his assis-
lance lie was, as may easily be sup
posed, in an exhausted state.

The Dairy.

Iowa dairymen evidently intend to
keep up the high standard the butter
of that state has attained, and to ele-
vate it if possible. The following rules
recently adopted at a meeting of dairy
men in that state are not without inter.
est to dairymen generally.
l. Any patron found selling milk
from any unhealthy COW or from COWS
still feverish from calving, will be
dropped and the case reported to the
civil authorities.
2. Cream from milk showing care
less and uncleanly milking, or contain
ing insects or dirt of any kind will not
be accepted.
3. Milk should he kept out of veg
etable cellars, and Its surroundings be
kept free from all odors and iInpuri-
ties.
4. No tainted or frozen cream will
be received
5. No collector will, in any case, take
any cream except what he himself
skins from he cans.
G. Any person discovered tamper-
ing with cream in any fraudulent way
will be dropped, and subjected to pun
ishment by law.
7. Cream from milk standing in low
temperature is thin and will not hold
out. Such cream will not be taken
unless proper reduction be made. The
proper temperature for milk to stand
in is from 80 to 60 degrees, and to
make honest cream milk should stand
from fourteen to twenty-four hours in
summer, and from twenty-four to thirty
six in the winter before skimming.
s. Ice and snow are detrimental to
to cream, and when used in milk will
not be taken.
8. Two different milkings must not
be put into the same can, nor must the
milk or can be disturbed after the milk
is set.
10. The length of time milk must
stand before skimming will depend up
on the condition of the cream, which
will in all cases be determined by the
collector, who must be judge of his
own route.
II. 1t is distinctly understood by all
that the word inch is used rs the equiv
alent of pound or half pound of but
ter, according to the size of the can,
and the creameries reserve the right to
pay to any patron for the number of
pounds his cream will make.
70. Patrons are required to notify
their cream cries at once of any neglect
of the collectors, or any failure on heir
part to conform with the above rules

Mob Law Among SparrOws.
Owensboro XVI Mes sepger.

A citizen related to us yesterday an
interesting incident concerning the
English sparrows. which of late years
have became so numero in the city.
A few days ago he noticed in one of
the trees in his yard number OF the
birds busily engaged in building nest,
evidently on the cooperative plan.
Soon another sparrow of the same
kind, but evidently not oftheir clique
probably an idler or drone--came
along, and from an ad iacent bough
stood and watched the modus OPP
erandi of the nest-bu,lding. 1t may be
thai he ventured suggestion or made
some slurring remark, for at once the
whole number set upon him and whip
ped him so soundly that he deemed it
prudent to leave. The gentleman
thought no more of it until yesterday,
when his attention was called to bird
suspended in mid-air with q string
around its neck from the same bough.
The former incident was recalled and
now the question arises, Is there mob
law among birds, and was this one a
victim? He NAV have hanged himself
accidentally, but this is not probable.

Horses on snow Shoes.

Stages began running regularly into
the Yosemite Valley by way of Milton
yesterday. Sleds drawn by horses are
used in travelling over the snow. The
animals are provided with snow shoes,
consisting of blocks about thirteen
inches square and one inch in thick
ness, to which suitable a'tachm ents
are tixt on the upper side for the foot.
The horses readily learn to manipulate
these apparently cluney appendages,
and make exceiiant progress over
the snow.

Toe LITTLE COOP BUTTER con
sumption of butter In the Unite d States
is simply enormCus. The tenth census
shows that We manufacture annually
! 200 600, 900 pounds; of this there are
exported, out Of the low grades, %. oO0-
900 to 10000, 900 pounds; but there is
yearly consumed about three times as
much oleomargarine butter az we ex-
port of milk butter, so that our annual
consumption is, as near as may be, %
pounds per capita per annum. We
know of no other people on the face of
the globe that consume butter ~ an
equal rate. The most important item
connected with this extraordinary hut
ter consum ption, and the one which
should most attract the attention OF
dairymen, is the fact that, as large as
our productions of butter are, there
is not good butter enough made
in the country to supply the demand,
and that still more would be consumed
If there was enough produced to bring
the price down to the level of other
provisions. We have, in previous
number, alluded to this peculiarly
and remarked that butter WAS abnor-
mally high, and Tut of all proportion

sheer scarcity, it was higher In the
United States than in European coun-
tries. We have an absolute proof of
