The Treatment Of Dairy Cows.

Mr.. j. A. Smith. a western dairy
man, writing of the Importance of the
feed and proper treatment of dairy
cows, gives some excellent suggestions
on this topic. He says that dairymen
are often surprised at the light weight
of their milk the next morning after a
cold rainstOrm. through which their
COWS have suffered unstabled, and it is
only q natural result of such treatment.
The COW does not eat as much, for one
thing: and another is. part of what she
does eat goes to repair the waste of her
system in withstanding the effects of
the storm, and that Keeps a per cent.
out of the milk pail, until she has re-
covered from the effects of such ex-
posture. 1t is also true that a cow, af-
fected by short feed or painful expos
ure, not only loses in the quantity of
her yield of milk, but in the amount of
fatty matter it contains. In q word.
nature has so organized the COW that
she revenges herself on her owners
pocket, for cruel neglect and short
feed; and q farmer might just as well
try to dodge taxes and death as to risk
the unwise treatment of a COW In
point of fact, when thus treated, she
takes the first and gives the owner
what skim milk she cannot assimilate.
The only way to get a profit out of her
Is to fill her so full that she runs over,
and take the surplus for your gold
mine.-Midland Farmer.

Butterine and Boards OF Trade.

Yes, they laugh at us at the West
when we say, on good authority that
the Boards of Trade out there are ma.
nipulated by the owners of butterine
factories; but we were told this by a
man who has ewes to see with when he
travels, and he had just returned from
Elgin, and he pronounced the whole
business of public sales on these boards
a farce, and the chances are just about
ninety-nine in a hundred that he told
the truth. The american CultiUdt0r,
that generally knows what it is talking
about, backs us up in this statement as
follows: 1.-The butterine and OleOmar.
garine men are again advancing the
price of fancy grades of creamery but
ter in the West. These manipulators
of lard and tallow and grease need
quite q percentage of choice butter in
their mixture to lend flavor and arOms
to the mass. Again, the higher they
bid up genuine butter in small lots, the
more they can obtain for the counter
felt by the ton" Now let the farmers
who are not in the secrets of this little
game. and who belong to these boards.
institute inquiries and they will find
that most of the highest priced goods,
or rather the best favored goods.

are used for flavOring the very article
tina. cuts the market from under
them. To be sure, if your butter sells
at top figures you get a slice of this
profit and it may be asking too much OF
your human nature to look after the
interest of the trade at large, but the
great mass of farmers are not in the
swim, and they are the ones to take
this matter up and sift it to the bottom.
If energetically done You will probably
find that these butterine people have
got their men out concluding arrange
ments either with the makers or hand
lers of the best goods by which they are
to have absolute control of all the best
butter that is offered for sale, to the
entire exclusion of all outside buyers.
This is often accomplished, not merely
by paying more for it than the market
will warrant, which they sometimes
will do to freeze out their competitors,
but by private agreements the cash
character of the sale isturned into time,
of payment or shipment are
made. or in some way they get favors
not accorded to others. These oleo
are the sharpest and most un-
men in the market, and like
railroad manipulators they work to-
and all the time with the one
sole object in view of accommodating
money by sharp practice and at the ex-
pense of the innocent and hard working
We say combine and contrib
ute money to ferret them Out.-1n<

Liquor i'm Elections.

The liquor sellers in this city are or.
| oanizinc to control the elections. The

to effect an organization to assist them
in securing a more lenient Excise law.
John Cavanaugh was elected PreSi-
dent. and Nj. p. Gilmore, Secretary.
MIR. Cavanaugh stated at length his
views on the subject and the course that
should be taken by the dealers. He
claimed that each liquor dealer in this

Mr.. Corragin thought that by closing
the saloons on Sunday while those in

were kept open. the bread and butter

was in favor of closing during church

wished no action taken ON that subject.

Diseases Of the Horses Teeth.

The diseases of the horses teeth, AZ
well as the proper treatment of them,
differ considerably from those of man.
Feverishness, loss of appetite, diarrhea,
and a number of other and widely dis.
similar affections, either arising wholly
from difficulty in dentition, or more OF
Jess severely aggravated by it, are SC
frequent in young horses, that, when
ever any of them occur, and are found
on examination of the mouth to be 40

ing of the tushes, q crucial incisiOn
ought to be made upon the gums. The
grinders of horses more advanced in
age are apt to become roughened in
the edges from irregular growth or from
irregular wearing of the enamel. and
may in this state give rise to bad ulcers
in the mouth, and ought to be rasped
smooth. Part or whole of a back tooth
or other grinder sometimes grows to q
higher level than the rest of the teeth,
and penetrates the bars above it. caus.
ing serious liberation. or interferes 50
constantly and ~ruinously with mastica-
ton as to occasion a general pining for
want of due food; and whenever any
such Over-growth is detected. it ought
to be reduced to the level of the other
teeth. A general irregularity in the
surface of the grinders. though not
marked by any very observable prom
inence in any one part. is sometimes SO
great as to occasion pudding, and to
constitute great and almost incurablc
unsoundness.
Carries, or rotting of the substance of
the teeth, ccu more or less in all ami
mails. but is peculiarly frequent and vir-
ulcnt in man, and especially so in those
members of the human family who
think themselves most highly civilized.
One cause of this disease in mar is the
want of a due degree of dental action.
OccasiOned by the righteousness or soft
forms of food; another is the rapid and
mighty whirl of chemical forces acting
on the teeth from the great diversity
and rapid succession and piquant nature
of the articles of diet; and q third and
chief is the adherence in their teeth or
their interstices of small particles of
easily decomuOSable substances, such as
flesh meat or animal sauces. or almost
any of the mixtures of the most
relished dishes. Decomposition Of
the PARTICLES is rapidly effected
under the combined action of
the neat and moisture of the mouth,
and the oxygen of the atmosphere: and
an acid results which Immediately at.
tacks the phosphate of lime in the teeth.
and after awhile SO far accomplishes
its decomposition as to set the teeth

pears which henceforth constantly lets
in the atmospheric air, the salivary Sc
cretions and the decomposing particles

is promptly stopped with some proper
composition. a rapid decay of the entire
tooth. or its destruction, is inevitabla.

occurs with such virulence as not only
to destroy one tooth, but to communi-
cate the rotting to neighboriag teeth. !

tooth is found in the horses mouth, it |
