THE DAIRY.

Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, the
novelist, of Alabama, has dairy in
which she takes much pride. Fer DER
sey cows take prizes.
The Western Reserve of Ohio will
largely engage in the manufacture of
butter this season. In many cases the
factories have been changed over so
that butter and cheese can be made
from the same milk.
Some of the best cows for milk and
butter have the poorest show of escutch-
con, and sometimes scarce any at all.
have never thought it an infallible mark
for q superior COW, except, perhaps,
with the particular breed from which
Guenon took his examples.-COr. amer
lean Dairynaan.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat says:
1.-The law in regard to bogus butter
(Which has lately been sustained by the
Supreme Court makes it punishable
offense, punishable by fine of 5000
and Imprisonment for one year, to make.
sell or use oleOmargarine, suine, or any
bogus butter in the State of MISSOURI.
Hence our market is the only one in the
United States where the pure article
can be safely bought" Now let every
State pass and enforce an equally vigor-
Gus law.
There will doubtless be much dis
appointment among farmers in new
dairy sections this season, as well as
among manufacturers. They have been
led to believe that the dairy business is
one of great profit, in the older States,
and they will expect to do as well as
the veteran dairymen who have given
years to the industry and studied its
every point. Beginners will expect to
do as well, and if theS fail they will
quietly blame the system as well as
those who were instrumental in induc-
ing them to embark in the business.
To such we wish to utter words of
warning, and to remind them that very
much depends upon the way they feed,
water and milk their cows. They can
not expect a cow to give large amount
of milk without plenty of good feed and
good water; nor will the large flow con-
tinue unless rigid punctuality in feed
ing. watering and milking is observed.

Butter Markets.

We notice that some of the "authori-
ties who spoke at the last meeting Of
the New York Dairyman's Association
made the remarkable statement that
this country was constantly shipping
poor butter abroad and receiving large
shipments of fine butter from Europe.
We have very little to say against the
first half of this proposition, for there
is not much to be said in favor of the
quality of the butter we export, the
reason being that there is an excellent
home demand for all the fine goods we
make, and even more could be taken il
our dairymen would only make them
while our markets are constantly bur-
dened with goods of poor quality, while
shipping them is the only way to get
rid of them. These goods are bought
here at less than they cost to make
them, so that, while there is no profit
to dairymen, there is but small mar
gin for the dealer also, who takes the
risk of foreign market.
In relation to the last half of the
aforesaid proposition, that we are re-
ceiving large shipments of fine butter
from the other side, we fear the speaker
has drawn upon his imagination for his
facts. 1t is true that few sample lots
have, from time to time, been received
here of very fair quality, but they have
never amounted to more than specimen
lots. and the venture has not often, if
ever, been repeated.
We opine that there is Just as good
demand on the other side for fine goods
as there is here. The same rule obtains
the world over, that for . first class
article a first class price can be OBJ
tanned for it at home markets, or at
least markets SO near that long ocean
shipments are not necessary.
Dairymen will probably find it neces-
sary to glut our markets with fine but
ter before they will obtain or require q
good market abroad. As the best
goods of the London market bring no
more than the best goods in our
markets. it can hardly be expected that
additional ocean freights added will
help to make profit.
Here is good place to read the old
sermon about poor butter costing as
much to make as good butter, while all
the profit goes to the latter article.
This fact will stand the test OF the old
saw. line upon line and precept upon
precept.
The maker of fine goods never
troubles himself about new markets, he
can always get fair price at home

Dana Oliphant glanced around in ex-
pectation of a response, but mamma
was talking to the tall gentleman upon

but the young lady met pair of smiling
eyes in masculine head, lighted with

that look, and met her fate She was
not aware of this important fact. She
only knew that she had caught an ex-

IOWA PUSLICA

The Iowa republican convention

1, intimated In some quarters that the
meeting will be an occasion of more
than ordinary excitement and that the
party will take advantage of the OPP
p~ortunity to rebuke emphaticsily the

dared to deny the oon~stitutionality OF
the prohibitory amendment.
If the Iowa republican convention
desires TO disrupt the party orgAniza.
ton they can adopt no means
than the persecution of the judges
on the supreme bench who dared
to do their sworn duty against their
private inolinations. It Is q we'll
known fact thAt four Of the members
Of the court were prohibitionists on
principle. Their deoision was rem.
dered In accordance with their oath to
protect the constitution, and not In
oonsistenos with their personal prefer.
enoes. The function of the supreme
bsncb Is to bring all laws to the test
of the constitution, not to the stand.
ard of popular olamor. All that
the Iowa judges, following the
plain mandates of that instrument,
have done, Is to declare that the leg
islature did not observe the form laid
down for amending the constitution,
and to deny that q majority vote may
do away with constitutions altogether.
And yet, agitators who are incenHed
at a failure which Ia due to no cause
on earth but to their Own carelessness,
radical prohibitionists, who care for
no restraints of law or governments
when they are baked In the immed-
late accomplishment of their own de.
signs, and oven q part of the public

OF judges who did not choose to vjo-
late their oaths for the satisfaction OF

Iowa republicans will make a very
serious mistake If they yield for a

the deposition of IN honest judiciary.
Such o concession will drive thous-

THE DEARrH OF MINISTER'S.

Complaint Is made by the Presby'
teriau general assembly Of the dearth
of ministers. Over 500 %socletie,
have no pastors and there are nc
ministers for them. The number
of students entering the ministry IA
said to be yearly growing smaller,
while the demand Ia greater than the
supply.
There are several reasons for thli
condition of sfiirs. In the frat
place, as pointed out by President
Eliot, of Harvard, talented and
ambitious young men are stunning
the ministry because they re.
fuse to pu. their minds In
the Irons OF an intellectual bondage.
The laity are In advance of the mlnis-
try. The pen is becoming better ed.
ucated and more liberal than the pull
pit. Between the pressure of church
councils on the one hand and the
force of liberal advance on the other,
the minister, II his mind Ia at all rensi.
tive to the influence of modern criti.
clsm and culture, Is certain to be
placed In q o uncomfortable posi-
tion. To remain In the church Ii
often to belle his own convictions.
To leave 1t Ia to find himself pursued
by ecclesiastical hatred.
The smallness Of the salaries paid
to ministers by their congregations Is
not, as DR.. Hsrrsck j Johnson seems to
think, the chief cause CT the falling
off In candidates for ordination.
Ability is recognized nowhere so
quickly co Ia the modern pulpit, and
mediocrity nowhere 90 generously
tolerated. The salaries paid to
clergymen generally are fully equal to
what the same calibre of men could
earn In other callings. In our large
cities elcquence and piety are literally
rewarded by handsome utipends, ad
miring congregations and long and
frequent vacations.
We should BIO sorry to thiak, q,
DR.. johnson scems to Infer, that tho
chief motive In entering the profes.
sion which he follows Is the eordid
n OF pecuniary reward. II It were
generally understood that men feel
"called" to the ministry simply with
an eye to the salary which they are
likely to command, tho profession
would rapidly lose much of Its infu-
ence on the masses. We do not DO.
lieve that to bs the case. The use.
fulnesu of the ministry Is being con-
tracted by the narrow-mlndedness of
church organizations and the cramp-
Ing restrictions of church creeds.
Other fields lie open to tho talented
and the ambitiou,, where there Ia
equal space for moral and more room
for intellectual development. This ia
tho one great reason why the ministry
Ia calling aloud to our colleges for
more candidates of talent and culture,
and the reply is only the echo of the
cry.
