Professor Arnold states that it costs
more to make milk from old cows than il
does from young ones having the same
milk producing capacity. The period of
profitable milking does not terminate at
the same age with all cows alike. Some
hold out longer than others, but, as a rule,
the best effects do not reach beyond the
eighth year Of the cows age.

STEADY THE TREEs.-Those lately set
must not be trusted to the winter without
stalking or otherwise fastening them against
injury from the wind For small trees, a
strong stake TO which the trunk is secured
BY two or three inch wide strip of duck or
leather, will answer well. For larger sizes,
the best way is to make them fast with three
pieces Of wire in the shape of tripod. Put
piece of cloth or leather around the tree
well up, outside of which fasten wire in
the stem. From this wire run the three
wire stays to some stakes put in at equal
distance around the tree.

1t is an EASY matter to milk

1t is an easy matter to milk COW dry
in few weeks. By irregular milking, say
sometimes in "a hours and sometimes in
six hours, separation from her usual
company, change of location, and a
change of mixers. Scolding or beating a
COW more or less impairs her milking
qualities.

All the Same.

L. X. Martin, esq, told his court
house audience, met to ratify Blaine's
nomination the other night, that the
" noble impulse " which Carl Schur2
gave to "civil service reform " under
Hayes, received the most cordial sym
pathy and support from Garfield and hi'
great prime minister, Blaine thel
took up the work exactly where Hayes
left 1t and the strongest antagonists
both afterward encountered were be
cause they tried faithfully to execute
the will that Schurz had written ant
Hayes had signed in which was embodied
the precious but then unpopular legacy
OF civil service REFORM"
The fact is that one of the first acts OF
Garfield's administration, to which he
was instigated by Blaine, was the re :
moval without cause, of the customs
house officers at New York, who had
been appointed by Hayes, in furtherance
of what he and Carl Schurz called
"ciyil service reform" This act of the
Garfield administration was one of du.
plicity, treachery and hypocrisy, and
was in bold violation of what Schurz
regarded as civil service reform.
Mr.. Martin either knows this to be
the case, or he don't but to that audi
ence, which, like ReinGhl and Johnson,
had not read the platform and did not
care what was in it, it may be assumed
that IL did not matter whether Martin
was fooled or was trying to fool them.

The Stewarts and the staIwarts.

A pungent correspondent Of the West
Chester Local Nelcs reminds the Repub
lican readers of that newspaper that the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine was only made
possible by the independents determined
and successful opposition 10 the dictatiOn
of the "bosses" in 1852 in this state {;
and asks the people of the whole country
to thank the Independent Republicans
of Pennsylvania who in lSs2 by their
courage and determination in resisting
wrong brought the Stalwart faction and
their accepted bosses To true real
ization OF their position and the necps
ty for submission To the will Of the pcO
ple," by the defeat of Beaver. There
seems to be similar disposition mani
tested by the Independents all over the
state to rub brine into the striped backs
Of the Stalwar;s. In this city, for in
stance, they grabbed the organization
OF the ratification meeting, and made
the late boilers the head and front Of it.
The s0.called Independents of Pennsyl
vania may be pardoned their zeal, how
ever. They have good reason for their
satisfaction. 1t is well known that all
through the senatorial contest Of 1852
they had the sympathy of Garfield aud
Blaine in their resistance to Divers
election and the Stewart movement of
1882 had Blaine's moral support. He re
fused to come into the state and speak
for Beaver (; he desired his defeat foi
he knew that would give him control o.
the organization here and of the mex
delegation to the national convention
and he has not been disappointed. Hi
friends have reaped where they sowed
and 1t is natural that they should fee
like celebrating their harvest home

Thousands witness AN Excellent Pre- Iauta-
Iion OF Life on tho Plain.

Several thousand po)ple attended the
show given by Buffalo Bll at McGrarns
park yesterday. Tho grand stand and
open seats were packed with people long
before the performance began, and hun
drehs wero cOmpglI9i to stand along
tho track and Ou the bail grounds.
The show is similar To that
given by company OF MexiCAns,
who were hero some years ago. IL IL
intended to represent life on tho plains,
and although much Is Overdrawu, many OF
tho pictures are truthful. The feature of
tho show is the 8hO0ting Of Capt. BOgar.

ful quartotto ard able 10 hit almost
anything with gun. Buffalo Bill himself
was, of course, thB CSntrc of attraction.
lle remained on his horse on the track all
Of the afternoon directing the exercises.
The performance which gayo tho grcatc8t
satisfaction was the representation of an
attack on the DcadwOod mail coach By
Indians. The cow boys, lod by Buffalo
Bill, drove back the redskins and saved the
passengers This il n very wild act, and
several kegs OF powder are used to
help it through. The assoing of the Texas
stG0rs was very good, as the animals Were
wild, and could run. The attack Of the
settlers home was welt represented and
plenty of powder was used to keep the
Indians back. Other features worthy Of
note were war dauces by tho Indians, glass
ball shooting from u horse by Buffalo
Bill, horse and burro races, &c. The
show is exhibiting nrai1 TO day.
John NJ Burke, who has been Buffalo
Bills right hand mau for many years, is
the principal maa with the show. He

TheIr Faith In lsIaine.

About the only thing left to comfort
the Republicans, In the general condem-
nation OF their ticket, is the confidence
they feel that Blaine is equal to the ne
cessities OF the canvass, and can run their
craft into port IL there is any way OF
getting her there. This opinion of
Blaine's transcendant political skill in
leadership is apparently very generally
held, and Democrats unite with Repub'
licahs In declaring that Blaine will
make very lively and offensive cam
paign out of 1t. Senator Mcdonald VINO
has appeared at times as q possible Demo
cratic candidate for president, but is not
now very extensively contemplated IN
that light, expresses his confidence IN
Blaine's great abilities and thinks he is
eoing TO stir the nation with dynamite
display that will cause a wild Irish
rush from the Democratic party to his
standard.
We think that Senator McDonald's
attribution of brains to Blaine does not
comport with his belief that there is to
be any such effort on his part to attract
the Irish vote. We look upon such al
essay as a very likely undertaking on the
part of Blaine, and by the same toker
we do not look upon him as man o.
strong mind. That would be schem'
very natural to his smart abilities auC
rash tendencies. He may adopt it If h
finds his canvass desperate otherwise
preferring to go down amid the cannon
roar than be starved into capitulation
That is certainly his disposition and tn
general idea that we are going to have
lively campaign with plenty of pyro
technics In it is probably correct.
Baine's impudence and boldness ma!
be equal to changing the defensive cam
paign with which he opens into an often
sive one, though it is not now to be seel
how he will accomplish this transforma
tion. With theatrical character sucl
as he is, however, there is no foretellnt
the course he may take. He may d.
something extravagant at any time tha
will not probably be wise, but yet will b
exciting, Just as are the unexpected an
tics of the circus clown. Ii Mr.. BLAINE
should go for the Irish vote he would
get some of it, and would lose more o.
his own strength than he would get o
ours but he might very readily stir NJ
a great excitement and arouse thing
generally the world over.

against its candidate and as a further
reason for his sticking to his ticket he

Conscientious EdIfnrs

The New York Times and Post, the
Boston Advertiser and the Springfield
Republican seem to be journals having
the courage Of their convictions, since
they maintain the opposition to Blaine
after his nomination which they mad
before, although they are Republican
newspapers. Journals with weaker
handling, or weaker timber, such as the
Philadelphia Telegraph, support Blaine
because he is the candidate of the Re.
publican party, whose success they affect
to believe to be more important to
the country than it is that its oandi
dates should be good and at men,
This is the way nearly all politicians
reason because they are politicians and
