ALTHOUGH the main and absorb
ing question of the election was
settled with the announcement of
the result as affecting the Presiden-
cy, there are minor contests going
on in a number of States that
would, ordinarily, attract general
attention. One is the effort in IL
linOis to decide by 4 single vote
whether the Legislature shall be
Democratic or Republican, and an
other is in a contested case in n
West Virginia Congressional dis
trict where il has been discovered
that in two counties, Wayne and
Cabell, 500 Of the Prohibition State
tickets, bearing the name of the
Republican candidate for Congress,
were thrown out. As the Demo-
cratic member-elect Of Congress
had but 16i majority in that dis
trict, the counting of these 500
tickets would elect the Republican
candidate by $50.

who think il costs nothing to print

BY an una ccoEntable misappre-

class of people in the world who
think it costs little or nothing to
run n newspaper, and if they buy a
copy occasionally they are regular
patrons and are entitled to unlimit-
ed fayors. Men ask for a copy of
a newspaper for nothing who would
never think Of begging a pocket
handkerchief from a dry goods store
OF piece Of candy from a cOnfec-
toner, even on a plea of having
done business with them once be-
fore. One paper is not much, but
thirty or forty at each issue will
amount to something IN the course
of time. But tins IS a small drain

THE DAIRY.

The general purpose cow" lots
of milk, plenty of butter, big calves,
and heaps of beef, don't reconcile well
with the natural philosophy where it
wisely teaches that 1.-TWO bodies can
not occupy the same space at the same
time.-M Y. Herald.
-Cheese-factory owners cannot be
too careful NOT to put their cheese in
too low boxes. A buyer in Chicago
writes describing how shipment of 400
boxes were nearly ruined by being thus
boxed. The shipper probably thought
to save a little on the cost of boxes and
lost hundred times as much in injury
to his cheese Western Rural.
If you do not get as good price
for your butter as some one else does,
you may count that there are nine
chances out of ten that the fault lies
with you and not with the purchaser,
remarks an exchange. Really choice
butter is not so plenty but that any ono
who makes a really tirst-class article
can easily obtain the highest market
price. 1t is very natural for one to
think that their butter is Just as good as
their neighbours, but if the neighbor' S
brings higher price it will pay to try
and Improve the quality little.
There is limit to skill in the dairy.
Skill may improve many things about
the butter and the cheese, but comm on
sense will indicate that inferior COWS,
half fed, and that Of poor descriptions,
will not furnish milk that can be relied
upon to make an article of full quality,
or even prime goods. 1t needs better
cows, fed on foods suitable for produ-
cling high quality otfats in the milk,
to make gilt edged butter, The COM
mon sense part relates to the selection
and feeding, as well as the care of the
cows, and the skill relates to the manu-
faature of the finished product The
elements of good butter are found first
in the milk, and no after-skill in manu-
facture can supply them. There may
be various tricks of the trade resorted
to cover up Or disguise defects, but
they are not of or parts of a good,
prime, sound butter. SarG9nah Nea0S.

The Milk When in the Udder.

But few persons fully understand the
functions of the udder, and there are
not many who comprehend how intri-
cate the mechanism or how delicate the
entire structure. The opening in the
lower end of the teat is closed by an
elastic band which retains the milk SO
long as the udder is not oyer-distended,
in which case the stretched band allows
the milk to escape, drop by drop, as in
overlooking the udder to make Il show.
There is an enlarged cavity in the mid
die of the teat. At the top of the teats
there is valve or diaphragm separa-
ting an oval cavity above from smaller
one below, having an opening the size
vary from the size of a hens egg to that
of turkeys egg.
From the little reservoirs at
the top of the teats are tubes
running in different directions
throughout2ach gland, which are often
cut oil by smaller reservoirs distributed
all through the glands. These minute
reservoirs are more abundant and
larger in the lower and outer parts of
each lobe, diminishing in size and fire.
queocy as they rise toward the upper
part. They vary in size from a hick-
orynut to pins head, the majority
being the size of beans or peas, and de-
crease till they disappear in the upper
part of the udder. The tubes ralnify
and anastomose like arteries. The ends
of the tubes are also supplied with
valves or diaphragms similar to those
at the tops of the teats, In the center
of the udder and between the four
glands is a large and strong tendon
leading from the abdominal muscles,
and passes down between the four
glands or lobes, where it soon divides
up into branches like the brush of
broom corn, which again divides and
subdiVides till the threads become too
fine to follow with the unaided eye.
The overlooking OF the udder from
/ neglect or from excessive secretion
causes the ligaments to sag or stretch.

Making Cider Vinegar.

The malic acid of the apple and the
acetic acid produced from the fermen-
tation of the sugar of the juice are both
wholesome and an aid to digestion, and
the natural desire for these acids, es-
pecially the former, which exists in all
fruits, may be considered as an instinct
i've craving for a necessary article OF
food, just as the appetite for salt and
sugar is. The formation of the veee.
table acids is one OF the curiosities Of
agricultural science which shows in a
remarkable way what very great
change is made in the character of
various substances by the mere adj
dition or subtraction of one or more
chemical elements contained in them.
Thus, the following table will show
how starch is changed into sugar,
sugar into glucose, glucose into alec
hol, and alcohol into vinegar, or acetic
acid, which is the last stage of the
chemical change, excepting putrefac-
ton, when the substance finally disap-
pears in an explosive gas:
