The Heifer calves.

.Where do YOU get your cows" we
recently asked a Wisconsin dairyman.
..Buy them.' was the reply. "How do
you supply your dairy with stock?" we
asked dairyman of Iowa. Pick it up
wherever l can find what suits me- he
he answered. "Do YOU raise any of
your own stock?' we inquired of
Pennsylvania dairy firm, aud they
answered no, which was the answer
given by an Illinois daryman to the
same inquiry "What do you do with
your calves?' we asked of all these peo-
pie, and the reply of each was we sell
them" Well. somebody must keep
heifer calves, and as the dairy Increases
in magnitude the demand for heifer
calves will be greater As usual thing
this demand is not considered. The
butcher gets about as many heifer as
bull calves, and there appears to be a
very general strange neglect to attempt
to provide for n market that is steady
and is increasing. And the way that
hefer calves that come from milking
stock are sold to the butcher is almost
criminal We know men who sell the
calves of good milking COW regularly,
except to get the little money that the
sale will bring Now among our com
mon cows it is not certain that a calf
will inherit the milking qualities of the
dam, but it is worth trying. We need
mixers in our Eastern and the more east
ern of our Western States. We cannot
produce beef alone in competition with
those who produce it on cheap western
land. The dairy must become more and
more prominent with us. As we have
said several times, and as dairymen
practice, we want COW that will fill her
place in the dairy. and then can be turned
off al profit. That is the only way that
we can hope to make anything on our
high priced land.
Dairy cows are already in demand.
Not only do the professional dairymcn
want them, but farmers are coming 10
want them more and more. The keep
ing of cows for she sport of il is no
longer popular in any quarter, except
with fanciful farmers, whose COWS are
good but unreasonably high priced. The
farmer wants COW that will pay him
sor her care and the food she eats But
he does not always have her. He is be-
ginning to look for her, however. And
it is probably safe to say that at least
one-half the cows in the country ought
to be replaced by those which are fifty
per cent. better. But where are they 10
come from while the butcher keeps COB
bling up our hefer calves2 If the dam
is good for nothing, we would not keep
the calf, but if the dam is good mixer,
we would. AT all events the increasing
demand for dairy cows must be supplied
by somebody, and we think that a
profit can be figured out in such bust
ness without much straining. = Western

The Earthquake Sensation.

an who have related from actual OK.
perience how an earthquake feels, agree
In describing the sensation rs one oil
of peculiar sickening fright and despair,
as if the bottom had fallen out of the
world and the whole universe was going
to pieces. In "Travels in Peru and
Mexico" the writer gives Juan ROM
eros story Of recent terre-moto in the
equatorial Sierras, from which he and his
cattle were sufferers.
At the first warning rumble in the
ground, himself and his family and his
workmen all quilted their occupations
and ran to the middle of an open field.

meath our feet and we were all thrown
to the ground.
We were all. however, seen en- am
feet again, and in a position of compare
tive safety where we could watch the cf-
fects Of the earthquake upon the animals
These all stood motionless with their
legs stretched out and their heads bent
down almost to the ground, one or two
of the cattle moaning
"A second shock was very different.
During the first one we seemed to be
drawn or pushed from side to side; but
now we felt, for minute or more rs II
some weight were pressing us to the
ground, and Immediately after this as
light rs il we were all ascending into the
air, showing that the shock was in the
first case horizontal, and in the second
in a perpendicular direction"
OF his own feelings, Mr.. Romero said
that he experienced kind OF terror hard
to describe. "My first sensations were
dread that the earth was about to open
and bury everything within its bosom.
But what | felt after this was not like
the fear of death which have expert
enced in other cases / have faced the
bayonet and stood before the lannon's
mouth, and | cannot say altogether with
out fear of human enemies who, one
might suppose. experienced the same
unpleasant sensations as oneself. Tho
prospect OF death, however, is generally
accompanied by hopes of the future; but
during an earthquake the reason is sub
dued and my predominant feeling was
that we were utterly lost. II seemed as
il all nature was about to expire; and
for an hour or two after the shocks there
was the same appearance of dread among
the whole party.
.'Even the beasts stood for some time
in the position which they had taken
during the shocks. and required patting
and reassuring before they would move. -"

A Tough Story.

The Elko (Nev.) Independent has
this tough story: A report reached here
soon after the Cinnamon who were so
fearfully frozen at Monticello were takeu
west that the chiefs of the company to
which they belonged, on beholding their
pitiable condition. had them at once put
70 death, and from a reliable source it is
now ascertained that the s-atement then
made was literally true. 1t will be re-
membered that the Chinese at the
station-house, some five in number,
were bound by the robbers, and after the
latter had left the Chinese in their fright,
ran from, the house, and wandering
about in the snow all night, froze their
feet and legs in shocking manner.
The poor devils were sent by train to
San Francisco and delivered over to
their company, by whom they were
"humanely" put out of their misery.

President 'Cnrter's BaccaIaureate.


 President Carter, formerly of Yale, deliy- cred his baccalaureate discourse yesterday. His text was from the words, 'tFor he en- dured, as seeing him who is invisible" In it he sai d
 The doctrine of Pantheism properly, if not always actually, united ito the conception of fieeting personality for man, among the Hindoos and with the most gifted of German poets has in it no energizing power, not 8 particle of that courage-giving and endur- ance-imparting quality that issues in heroism and "the victory that overcometh." And so it happens that Goethe, Ruckert and Lenau, having esthetic rather than philosophical or ethical natures, whenever their belief finds honest utterance, say nothing that encour- ages to endurance or takes firm hold of the invisible for support. Goethe was not 8 pessimist, but in one of his profoundest moods he thus reveals his failure to appre- ciate the glory resting on the souls that have through divine teaching endured with and for the race:
 The few who thereof" tthst is of t-uthl something Unwtsely flank, with hearts that spurned conceal And to the mob laid bare each thought and feeling Have evermore been crucified and burned"
 ''UnBisely frank oh, prophets and mar tyrs, but not so did you, nor do you now be- ieve!
 And Goethe's most poetic glorifcation of Pantheism has no recognition of lofty mo. rality, and throwing out all limitation iden- tifes God with rapturous feeling and does not call for, or remotely suggest endurance. And in fact Goethe had no power of en- durance. From the cradle to the grave his career was one of extraordinary prosperity, and the ability to endure persecu tion, or contempt, or ridicule, or even the common bereavements of life, was not in his nature and there was no doctrine or training to develop it. A tropical flower, the first sharp frost would have cut him down and so he had to be much in the greenhouse and when the chilly winds of Weimar official life threatened to paralyze him he fled to the gar dens of Rome and Naples
