THE DAIRY.

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 DO 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 I
have never thought it an infallible mark
Tor superior COW, except, perhaps.
with the particular breed from which
Guenon took his examples.-C Cor. diner
,cdn Datrymdn.
There will doubtless be much dis
appointment among farmers in new
dairy sections this season, MS 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 they fail they will
quietly blame tho system as well as
those who were instrumental in induce
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 COW to give a large amount
Of milk without plenty Of good feed and
good water; nor will the large flow con-
tinue unless rigid punetuality in feed
Ing, watering and milking is observed
--Elgin Adc0cdte.

Changing From Cheese to Butter.Mak-
ing. -

The low price of cheese during the
winter of 1928, or ut least the small
supply and slow demand for exporta-
tion, will strike the minds Of many
dairymen with the notion that there
will be but little profit in chcese-mak-
ing the next year. or two, and there will
therefore be a large exodus from cheese
making TO butter-making. There is al
ways too much Of this sort Of thing in
every line Of business, and the proba-
bilities are that this next winter will
find the butter business equally over
DONE.
With the exception Of few lucky
strikes. where men have happened to
make their changes just in the nick OF
time, as rule, the man who sticks to
his business through thick and thin with
an eye steadily bent upon the improve
ment of his product, will in the long
run excel all others and secure the best
average profit from one season TO
another.
Many men in building factory pre-
pare 1t for making either or both butter
and cheese with view to taking adj
vantage of the matchmaking butter
when it sells high or making cheese
when IL sells high. This Jack-at-all
trades business Is always qualified
failure. While it may pay its way and
by good business management return a
fair income, the chances are that the
man who relies upon these two stools
will probably fall between them. II is
not one factory manager in a thousand
who can make a fine article Of both but
ter and cheese. The one talent is Just
about as much as any one man can car
ry, and it is therefore unwise, If he is
found to excel in one field to burden
him with the responsibility of another.
To be sure, every good checse-makcr
thinks he Is good butter maker. also,
and every good butter maker thinks he
knows how to make good cheese but
when the market test comes to be APP
piled to the work of these men ii is in
variably found that each one might bet
ter have stuck to the work he did know
how to perform. The slow process Of
building up market for an extra good
article always pays best in the end for
one simple reason--that SO few men
have the patience and perseverance to
practice it.-American Datryman.

A gentleman of truth said this to me:
II was in Canada some years since.
The family had just finished the usual
slaughter OF hogs and beef, and had
hung the beef against pile of lumber
to cool off or freeze. A catamount
(the Indian name in New England)
crept out in the night to get q piece.
In pulling down the quarter of beef he
upset the pile Of lumber, which came
down with a frightfM noise, and he
made three tremendous leaps from the
spot. saw the tracks in the snow;
there was not mark between them; |.
did not measure the distance myself
but man did, and believe correctly.
The first jump was up HILL thirty feet;
the second, horizontal, to large rock,
fifty-four feet; the third, down hill,
seventy-two feet. /"
A leap Of thirty feet perpendicular to
the branch OF tree, or forty-foot
plunge after q fatal shot, and falling
dead almost at the hunters feet, have
been repeated until the veracity is not
questioned, and after making all pos
sible allowance we must acknowledge
there is not a creature living whose leap
compares with it. flss - IS
The question then comes up, how is
this superiority over other animals at
tanned? The key we shall find in the
coiled wire spring. This spring, pressed
down on base and liberated, leaps
ahead further than any other form.
The reason is very simple. Every
movement of substance must start from
a base unless moved by an outside
force. The coiled wire spring, when
pressed down, becomes solid its en-
tire length. When let loose the first
turn jumps from its base, which is the
second; the second adds its force to the
first, jumping from the third, and so in
succession to the last, which adds its
force after the whole coil is flying from
the outside base of all. And this is pre-
cisely the case in the panther's leap.
The forelegs and head are shot forward
from the shoulders. the powerful
muscles of the back straighten the
curve of the spinal column from the
hips, while the great posterior muscles
through the Achilles tendon and over
the longest lever in the animal economy,
add the last impetus to body already
shooting ahead like an arrow Forest

house, and directly the passengers on
the'car We're gazing that way at pan

upon himself to explain what was oc-

"A woman and her husband appear
at the backdoor. She is excited-he
the picture of calmness."
1t was so. The woman waved her
arms and gcsticulated-th man seemed

Now she leads him to bedstead

tinued the passenger. "She is prob

her arms some more.

powered the man he had undertaken to
assassinate, whom, after robbing him,
he had afterwards dragged to place of
secret confinement. from which he had
purposed releasing his prisoner as soon
as he had secured the promised reward
from his employer, by convincing the
latter that he had performed his agree
ment.
But when asked to reconcile this ac-
count with the discovery of the body,
Lalor could say nothing; and a search
of the place in which he alleged he had
concealed his victim, revealed nothing
to corroborate his incredible statement.
As for the part of it duplicating Han
ley, that was set down to sheer de.
pravity.
John Labor was tried, found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged. Every.
body said he would confess at the last
moment; and Richard Hanley, whose
presence poor Sylvia was forced te
tolerate occasionally through stress OF
parental authority, Was waiting to draw
q sigh of relief as soox as the drop fell
One day Mr.. Melroth's door-bell rang.
OF the servant who came to answer It,
handsome young man, who stood on
the threshold, inquired for Miss Mel
roth.
He was invited to enter, and asked
what name should be announced.
''None,a was the answer, ..but tell
her gentleman wishes to see her."
When Sylvia Melroth appeared and
her eyes fell on the comely visitor,
with an exclamation of mingled sur
prise and terror, she staggered back
and would nave fallen but for the ready
arm which came to her support.
The next moment, as she looked up,
all fear had departed from her eyes,
which were filed, instead, with tears
of joy and love.
80! Mark, believed you dead, and
1t almost broke my hearth she MUIR
INJURED.
81 hope to live many days after such
a one as this!n he said, earnestly, seal
ing the declaration in due form.
1t turned out that John Lalor's story
was literally true. Mark had been
kept many days prisoner, bound hand
and foot, but finally managed to escape
on the day of Labor capture. Then
he kept himself concealed till that
rascal had suffered all the terrors of
the law but the very last, and till the
state. of Sylyia's heart had been
thoroughly tested; for, through trusty
friend, Mark had kept himself advised
of all that passed.
OF course Labor escaped the gallows;
but both he and Richard Hanley under
went the highest penalty allowed for
conspiracy.
'But about the finding of the bodyP"
the reader will ask
That was another of Hanley's tricks.
As before explained, Mark Penning-
tons brother had died not long before
his own disappearance. The two were
singularly alike; and by secretly ex-
huming the body of the dead brother,
and disfiguring it with wounds, Richard
Hanley was enabled not only to furnish
the evidence needed to perfect his own
succession, but to complete the case
against John Lalor, of whom it was his
purpose to be rid. IN. y Ledgey.

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 If
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 Ns8
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 tney have
never amounted to more than specimen
lots, and the venture has not often, If
ever, been repeated. bsIa5;seaaz
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 fortia first class
article first class price, can be OBJ
tanned for it at home markets, or ut
least markets SO near that long ocean
shipments are not necessary. war
Dairymen will probably find it peces-
sary to glut our markets with fine but
ter before they will obtain or require a
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. Hos
. Here is q good place to read the old
sermon about poor butter costing as
uuch to make as good butter, while all
the profit goes 10 the latter article.
This fact viii stand the test of the old
saw. line upon line and precept upon
preccpt. J.
The maker Of fine goods never
troubles himself about new markets, be

Witchcraft in India.


There are in India professed heart
eaters and liver-eaters, who, by their
spells and lamentations, pretend TO steal
away and devour these vital organs,
thereby reducing the luckless indi-
viduals thus attacked to the greatest
extremity. These extraordinary feeders
are, it is said, able to communicate their
art by giving those who desire to ex-
ercise it piece of liver-cake to eat.
They are dangerous people, effecting as
much mischief by their pretended
power as If they were actually able to
achieve what they profess; since they
work upon the fears and excite the
imagination Of the unhappy individuals
who are subjected to their diabolical in
iiuence, producing upon the victim =
who is rendered hypochondriac by the
artful suggestions Of the enemy
anguish, disease and finally death.
A recent Indian mail gave very
curious instance of the fatal results
which arise sometimes from native
superstition. 1t was brought to light
in the course Of trial held before the
Agent Of the Governor Of Madras at
Gangam, in South India. A paltry dis
pute had arisen between two men regard
ing sum Of six annas (about seven
pence) which had to be divided between
them, and it ended in one Of them go
ing into a house and fetching knife,
with which he inflicted several
stabs upon his opponent, from the eff
fects of which he died. On being taken
up, the accused admitted having caused
the death of the other man, but said he
had done so in order to save himself, as
the other had threatened to turn HIM
self into tiger and kill him. There is
superstition among the hill tribes to
the effect that such a metamorphosis
can be made; and coupling this with
the circumstance that the crime was
apparently unprecedented, as the
weapon with which the wounds were
inflicted did not belong to the prisoner,
the Governors agent did not consider
the case such as to call for the exercise
of the utmost severity Of the law. The
prisoner was found guilty and ordered
to be transported for life.
The Mohammedans adopt another de-
vice for taking away the life of an enc
my. They construct an image of earth
taken out of grave, read particular
chapter of the Koran over it and then
repeat the prayers backward, every
word spelled in the same way-that is,
with the letters reversed. These and
other preliminaries being accomplished,
the image is perforated with wooden
pegs in every part. and being shrouded
like human corpse, is conveyed with
funeral solemnity to the cemetery of
the place and inferred in the name of
the person whose death is desired, and
who, it sis believed, will not long survive
the performance of these obsequies.-
