II pays to feed we'll Let me give
you case. Having good lot of cows,
which have bred and reared myself
and trained them well to be kind and
gentle in every way, do not like to
part with them. But having few more
than could well take care of this year
! rented out five of them to a neighbor.
One of these COWS is cross-bred pure
Ayrshire and Jersey, and with her first
calf gave eight pounds of butter in the
first weeks churning; with her second
calf she gave 124 pounds the. first week
after the milk was kept, (the calf was
fed on skinned milk only. This COW
is now six years old, and in her prime.
The man complained of her and said
she was poor cow. "What feed do
you give herp'' 'No feed at all
but the pasture in the swamp
meadow; and she milks only four
quarts a day." 1 brought the COW
home, and she was mere skeleton in
a bag of loose skin. The first milking
was three pints. l began to feed her
as knew she deserved. l gave her
two quarts of fine ground corn-meal and
middlings mixed with cut sweet corn
fodder three times day, with wha.
grass the pasture would afford. Tn.
fourth day she MIXED nine quarts, the
seventh day liz quarts; the first four
days her milk made three pounds of
tutter; the last three days it has made
four pounds seven ounces. This is not
her full yield, as she is putting on flesh,
and will do so until she weighs $50 or
200 pounds more than she did when she
came home.
If we figure this up the profit on this
feed can be shown very easily. Four
quarts day at five cents-the price at
which her milk has been sold all sum-
mer-is 20 cents. That is the value
of swamp meadow feeding. Eleven
and half quarts day is equal to 574
cents; the feed costs ID cents, so that
this Is cents gives 224 cents profit.
And to me the satisfaction of the thing
a day would be, for certainly have a
good deal of regard for MY cows, which
have reared from the first, and each of
which is pet and regards me with
evident kindliness and affection. At
the rate shown by these figures ten
cows would return 1925 daily profit
for the expenditure of $3.50, which is
in itself as much as many mechanic
in a city is obliged to support his whole
family upon. And yet there are
farmers and dairymen who are growl-
ing every day of their lives that farming
does not pay. wish some of them
would change places with some of the
people in towns and cities whom they
profess to envy so much What q mis-
take they would make.-M. Y. Times.

Cheese has for long time been col
ored with anatto, and of late years it
has come in use, not only in creameries,
but in home diaries, to give color to
butter The increasing use of the sub
stance, especially in winter, naturally
leads many to ask: "What is anatto,
and is it harmlessp" The name, which
came with the substance from south
America. has a great variety of spell
ings besides that given above, which
is the simplest and the one we first
learned; it is G ven in different books
rs annattO, annata, annotta, arnotto,
arnota, and SO on. The substance is
the product of small South American
tree, Bixa orellana, belonging to a
small family to which it gives its name
(Bixine@), of which we have no repre-
sentatives. Systematically, the family
is placed near that of the vio!ets. The
tree rarely exceeds twelve feet in
height, has handsome head, and each
branch is terminated by a cluster Of
flowers of the color of peach-bossoms.
The pods are at first of fine rose
color, becoming brown as they ripen;
they are covered with bristles, and con-
duct. Each seed is surro Inded by a
dark red pulp, to remove which they
are placed in water and allowed
to ferment, with frequent stirring.
When the seeds are free from
pulp, they are strained out, and
the pulp allowed to settle. 1t is after
wards placed in kettles. evaporated to
thick paste, which is the anatto Of
commerce. 1t is made into rolls, weigh
ing two to four pounds. which are COW
cred with Gamma leaves and packed in
wicker baskets, or more generally of
late, in boxes. Anatto, when fresh, has
much the consistency of putty. dark,
brownish-red color, and with some
what disagreeable odor. 1t has long
been used in dyeing, though on silks the
color is not very fast. To color COM
mon cotton stuffs of dull orange, it is
often used in domestic dyeing, with
potash as mordant. So far as we are
aware, the various butter colorings in
the market are chiefly, if not entire
ly, solutions of anatto, made by the aid
of some form of potash or soda. 1t
seems better suited than anything else
to give pale winter butter the color of
that made when the cows have good
pasturage. 1t is entirely harmless, we
think. 1t has long been added to
chocolate in South America, fer both
color and flavor, and is used by Indian
tribes in that country to paint their
bodies. One writer says that it Is about
the only clothing the natives have to
protect them from mosquitoes and other
insects. american Agricultartst.

Senate and who could succeed to the Presidency in case of the death of Pres ident Arthur. The choice fell upon MT Edmunds of Vermont. There is per- haps no abler man in the Senate nor one who would command more general confidence if he should succeed to the Presidency. The tariff bill was sent to 8 conference committee, which was ap- pointed with considerable difficulty. MT Bayard, MT Beck, MT Randall and all the leading Democrats declining to serve, it was finally made up with but one Democrat, MT Carlisle of Kentucky.
 The committee reached an agreement about 12 30, last Friday. The changed rates agreed upon under this heading are as follows: On steel valued at cents per pound or less, 45 per cent ad valorem; on steel valued at not less than 7 cents and not more than II cents per pound, 8 specific duty of 2 3-4c per pound; on steel valued above II cents per pound, a specific duty of 3 1-4c per pound. On steel rails the conference committee recommended a duty of $17 per ton; on iron ore 75c per ton instead of 5Oc); and on pig iron 3-10 of cent per pound, or S6 75 per ton, the rate proposed by the tariff commission The committee make no change from the rates proposed by the senate bill for cotton ties, wire rods, or for any other important articles which have been the subjects of controversy in the metal schedule. The conference committee recommended only one change in the sugar schedule, namely, an increase to 3-4c per pound on sugars graded above number 13 and not above number 16, Dutch standard. The senate fixed this duty at 2 1-2c per pound. Some minor changes of classification are made in the cotton schedule, but none of rates. The only change in the woolen schedule is to impose duty of 45c per pound and 40 per cent ad valorem upon women's s cloaks. In the glassware schedule the committee proposed specific duty of one cent per pound on glass bottles and transferred printed and painted crock cry to the China clause, thereby increas- ing the duty from 50 per cent ad valor- em to 60 per cent. All internal revenue tax is abolished, except that on whiskey and manufactured tobacco. The tax on the latter is considerably reduced. The new tariff generally goes into effect July 1, except that the duty on sugar takes effect June 1 and those on tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes on May l. A drawback is allowed on tobacco, snuff, etc., but the claim must be made before July l.

THE New York legislature few days ago passed a bill by large majority to reduce the fare on the elevated railroads from ten to five cents. Gov Cleveland has vetoed the bill on the ground that it was unconstitutional, as it would i'm pair the obligation of contract, involve a breach of faith and betrayal of conf dence on the part of the state. As a sample of the way bills are passed by the average legislator, one of the mem bers confessed that he had voted for the bill against his best judgment to satisfy popular clamor and that he now thought 1t ought not to become law.

GOVERNOR Butler of Massachusetts has issued g fast day proclamation which, if not model, is certainly unique. He enumerates almost everything that has ever been thought of as the subject of prayer, even ''that prosperity may again distinguish our navigation and fisheries, so that they who go down to the sea in ships and do business in great waters, may have abundant reason to praise his holy name. !" There is one omission in the proclamation which, under the cir cumstances. seems somewhat strange and looks like clerical error. It fails to invoke prayer for the poor convicts in the penitentiary or that the wicked keepers thereof turn from their evil ways.

THE British government has made 8 requisition, under existing treaties be- tween that government and this, for the extradition of P. J. Sheridan, who is accused by Casey, the informer, with compicity in the assassination of Lord Cavendish and Secretary Burke. Sher- idan is one of the editors of the Irish World of New York and warrant has been issued for his arrest. He will probably be taken before United States court and if prima facie case shall be found against him our govern ment will be compelled to surrender him for trial in Dublin. He protests his innocence and says he is willing to meet his accusers.

CONGRESS having passed the civil service bill, it ought now to pass bill to promote good manners. Last Fri day, Senator Van Wyck was speaking in regard to the expenses of the star route trials and charged the responsibility on the attorney general. Senator Cameron arose and, advancing toward the speaker and shaking his finger at him, said,
 s'Look here, do you mean to say he got any of that money?" Mir Van Wyck began to disclaim, when Mir Cameron broke in with, ''Well, then you be mighty careful how you talk| "Stop, stop now, stop at oncer' This was in the senate and of course in that digni6ed body it was all due to undue excite ment. In the house the day before the following interesting scene took place. The house was in committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill, which had been reported by Mir Paige of Cali fornia. Mir Van Voorhis of New York was making 8 speech in which he was endeavoring to explain the iniquity of the project. Suddenly he raised his arm aloft and in the most vehement manner said, "This item would never have been put in the bill if the chairman of the committee were not from Califor- nia It is so outrageous, so damnable that no one but gambler or cutthroat would have thought of tacking such a thing as this to an appropriation bill. J The day before he had called Paige a mule driver. A resolution of expulsion was offered, but as usual in such cases an apology was offered and the matter dropped. In the star route trial the following pleasantly recently took place between MT Merrick and MT Ingersoll
 They were discussing question in re. gard to the admission of evidence when Merrick called Ingersol puppy Ingersoll retorted by calling Merrick ''s dirty dog" The court mildly remon

George is an active fellow and seems to be as much of an adept at teaching as at clipping horses.
 Lester Denegar is to succeed George H. Brown in the management of the Cornwall Bridge Iron company's store.

The use of artificial fertilizers is rap- idly increasing in our New England states, their use on our old, exhausted soils being an acknowledged necessity. It is the general opinion of our best farmers that the old standard fertilizer, Bradley's phosphate, is the best and most economical fertilizer in use It is always uniform in quality and condition and gives better satisfaction on all crops than any other fertilizer that has ever been introduced into New England.
 Rev Silas Grifiths of Sterling, Ct., gives his opinion thus:
 January 10, 1883.
 l have used Bradley's phosphate the past season on every kind of crops, in- cluding grass, and find it the most reli- able fertilizer in the market if properly used. On light, leachy soil it ought to be we'll worked in to produce the best results. Many other parties have used it in this section and it has given the best of satisfaction.
