Colorlng Butter.

The Dafyyman and Farmer Ad-
vances the following argument in favor
of the use of extracts for colorirg but
ter: mo one is afraid to eat the red or
yellow beet on account of their color.
The extracts used for coloring butter
or cheese are equally as harmless,
Some say, why use color Why not
leave it as it is by nature 2 In answer
we say such is not the principle that
we follow ordinarily. We rather aim
to remedy natural defects. For this
reason we trim the trees in our lawns
and the hedges that surround them
into fanciful shapes. We paint our
houses with colors pleasing to the
eye, although other colors might be
more durable and preserve the build
ing for a longer time. We array our
selves in clothing Of varied hues, al
though scientists claim we should wear
white in summer and black IN win
ter, and they must be cut the latest
style or we are not happy. We all have
an eye to beauty. The taste demands
yellow butter June butter by nature
is yellow. This is the standard natur-
al color. 1t pleases the eye. 1t looks
better on the table, if it tastes no bet
ter. Therefore those who purchase
butter prefer yellow butter and will pay
more for 1t. There is no deception in
the color. as it does not in the least
affect the taste, but it does improve
the looks and in that way adds to its
value. A tasty nousekeeper wishes
her table to look we'll She knows
that at plate of nice yellow butter
looks much better than a plate OF
white, lard-colored, and this is taste
which is commercially and which but
ter makers must not overlook"

Stick to the Sheep.

The Brady Sentinel administers the
following wholesome advice to owners
of sheep:
Three years ago, when cattle seem
ed to be declining and the sheep busi-
ness was on boom, a large number
of our cattle men in the county sold
their cattle and went into the sheep
business. In short time after they
sold. cattle commenced going up until
they reached a point that no one
thought they would every reach. The
result was that great many who sold
cattle and bought sheep regretted it,
although wool growing proved to be a
fine business. Since sheep have de-
preciated in value and wool is down
we see great many wool growers who
are anxious to sell their sheep and in
vest In cattle. To such men we say
stick to your Sheep; continue to i'm
prove them, and you will find in the
end there is money in the business.
There is financial depression all over
the country and it has not only affected
the price OF wool and sheep, but cattle
have also deprecated in value, as has
almost everything else. Such state
of things cannot long continue, and
the probabilities are that those who
stick to their sheep will next fall see
considerable reaction in the price of
wool and sheep, and by spring wool
will bring such price as will satisfy
sheep men that they have the bestpay-
ing business in the country.

A Land Of Wonders.

California is the most surprising State
in the Union. Under Spanish rule il
was land of ranches and herds. I'm.
medlately upon its annexation to the
United States its marvellous gold pro.
auctions set every one wondering.
When the placers were worked out,
quartz mining produced almost equal
ly astonishing results. Then came
the great wheat production. Such crops
of gold and grain were never heard OF
before. California next astounded the
world by its vineyards. 1t produced
twice as many grapes to the acre as
any other locality on earth; now there
is a new marvel fruits of all kinds are
produced in such abundance that when
the season for gathering them arrives,
the labor Of the Pacific coast is found
to be wholly inadequate. On compar-
lively few acres, the California fruit
grower can produce nuts, apricots,
grapes and small fruits of all kinds in
such magnificent profusion that the la.
Dor available utterly fails to gather the
rich harvest. The despised Monaghan
is once more in eager demand, and
the problem ofthe labor supply threat
ems to be momentous one on the Pa.
cihc coast. The population is sparse,
land is cheap and abundant. and the
new emigrant prefers to till his own
acres rather than work for other fruit
growers. Happy California While
the.problem of all other parts OF the
earth's surface is what to do with the
surplus labor, it Is the lot OF that State
to be puzzled how to get its labor, and
distribute its superfuous wealth. =

Water OF a moderate temperature is
better for stock than when it is ice
cold.
Wisconsin sheep owners say that if
il were not for the dogs that state
would have ten sheep where it now has
but one.
Mr.. N. Atwell, one of the Michigan
Commissioners, whose duty it is to
look after the peach districts Of that
state, ard check, if possible the raw
ages ofthe destructive disease known
as "yellows," claims that there is no
knosn remedy, and that the only safe
plan is to uproot and burn the trees
upon the first appearance Of the
disease.

Toombs very roundly in a speech. He
was called on that night by one of
Toombs' friends.

friend, ''tha. Senator Toombs consid-
ers the language you used to-day a

"The Foreign Elements in our Population.

AS the great mass of the immigra-
ton has come since the year 1890, the
numbers of the foreign element
in the first and second degrees
may be estimated with approx
innate accuracy from the number OF
persons OF foreign birth and parentage
given in the census returns of 1880.
While 10, 3S,75S immigrants had land
ed in the United States from 1920 to
the middle of 1880, there were in the
country, in 1880, I4,955,996 persons
of foreign birth or having one parent
foreign born. If from this sum we
take 33,25e, the surprisingly large
number Of persons of foreign birth
having both parents born in the United
States. who are tor all the purposes Of
this study natives we have popu.
lation foreign in the first and second
degrees of 1892, 744, of whom 6,67o,-
943 were toreign-born. This number
still does not represent quite all the
new element, since large number of
small children figuring in the census OF
1850 must have had parents of the
younger generation of the new popula-
ton born upon our soil. There is no
record of these third degree foreigners,
of course, and we must proceed with.
out regard to them, simply assuming
that the figures relating to the old
stock embrace a certain number, not
proportionately large, who belong to
the new. We may judge of the rela.
ton in which this mass of people Of for.
eign birth and parentage stands to the
population which we are accustomed
to regard as the leaven of our national
ity-the stock to which all other ele-
ments are to be assimllated if possible
by comparing it with the white pop
ulation of native parentage. The
whole population of the country, minus
persons offoreign birth and parentage.
