Dairy Notes.

Great care is exercised in produc-
ing the famous Cotentin butter of
Nol mandy, which sells IN Paris at
$1.25 per pound. The COWS are brush
ed and kept very clean, the udders
washed and dried, and the attendants
and mixers keep themselves clean.
The milk is doubly strained, and the
churning is conducted on the best
principles. No odors are allowed TO
come in contact with the milk at any
time, and even the food and water of
the COWS are carefully inspected.
Some of the factories in the West
ern Deserve, Ohio, says the Cedar
burg, Wis, News, are now being fit
ted up to run all winter. This plan
will be inaugurated by closing part of
the factories and hauling the milk
further than is practicable in summer.
This is easily done there, for in many
localities, we learn, the factories of a
township, almost, are under one con-
troll and superlntendence. In such
cases there is not clashing Of interests,
and the farmers get the benefit Of ali
there is Ia the milk. Winter dairying
is the key to big success in dairying
on high priced land.
No branch of farm work has been
more largely engaged in by beginners
within the last two years than has the
dairy. In the first place it is an at
tractive business, and an additional
incentive to engaging in it is the gen
eral be1ief that it is profitable. The
depletion of the ranks of wool growers
now going on in some parts of the
country generally means more com
petition for dairymen. Indeed all
this is giving rise to the fear in some
quart rs that dairying will soon be
overdone. We hardly anticipate
trouble in this direction, but if it
should come it is reasonably certain
that the inferior grades of manufac-
ture will suffer. Prime butter will
not be made in sufficient quantities to
overstock the markets, and is likely,
under any probable circumstances, to
continue a remunerative product. The
only trouble threatening it is that ar
tifcial products may be so much i'm
proved as, by sheer force of greatly
cheapened cost, to supplant it with a
certain class of people. All things
considered, though, il ought to be as
safe to pursue dairying as any other
industry connected with the farm

A Severe Punishment.

The Turkish Ambassador at the
French court in 1898, on one occasion
entered a jewellers shop and began
bargaining for diamond ring, which
he eventually bought. During the
transaction, one of the ambassadors
servants distracted ring without. as
he thought, being observed; but it SO
happened that one of the jewelers.
children had seen it, and when the
parties had left told his father. It
was now too late to verify this state
ment, as the Turks were out of sight,
but the jeweller decided upon writing
to his Excellency and stating the facts
of the case, and asking him to inquire
into the matter. An answer was re-
ceived shortly afterwards, requesting
patience on the part of the ieweller
for twenty-four hours.
Scarcely had the specified time
elapsed before the jeweller received a
box addressed to him, which on open
ing was found to contain-the head of
the thief holding the ring between his
teeth.

| REMARKABLE BUFFALO HUNT.
A Great Herd Chased Hundreds of
Miles and Thousands of Animals
Killed.

People living near here, writes
correspondent OF the New York Sun
from Glendive. Montana, were sur
prised the other by hearing a loud
tramping, and through the clouds of
dust kicked up they discovered herd
of buffaloes making at q mad pace for
the river The animals appeared to be
well-nigh run down, but many of
them were furious. As they came to
the bank of the Yellowstone they
plunged in pell nell one on top of the
other, and for a time 1t looked as
though many of them would be kill
ed. but nearly all got out uninjured.
They had hardly reached the other
side when yelling, swearing crowd
of white men and Indians came up on
foam covered horses. They paused
here long enough to get refreshments,
and then resumed the chase.
There were four or five hundred
bufaloes in the herd, and they were
making for British America as fast as
their legs would carry them. Flom
the hunters it was learned that the
hunt began down in Dakota, on the
Cannon Ball river, where not less than
five thousand of the animals were
found grazing. A few of the men had
followed them the entire distance, but
although the party that passed here
numbered only thirty, its members
estimated that from first to last three
or four hundred men had taken part
in the slaughter. Some of the men
who stan ted out with the original party
had remained behind at various points
to secure the hides and others, who
only joined In for the sport, had
dropped out after satisfying them
selves with the chase. The rapidity
with which these magnificent ami
mails are slaughtered is shown by the
fact that the hunters passing through
here said they would have the hides
of the remnant of the herd before
reaching the boundary line
Probably this is one of the last big
buffalo hunts that will ever occur in
this country. The Indian, now that
that he is assured of enough to eat at
the agencies, is as reckless in his
slaughter of the bison as the white
man. He seems to consider the game
as nearly extinct, and he goes in reck-
lessly with the idea of having all the
sport he can before the end is reached,
The want0n destruction of this herd
has caused great Indignation through
out the entire section traversed, but as
it seems to be the policy to extermin-
ate the bison nothing will be done
about It.

THE FATE OF PUNCHED SILVER.
What is Done with 1t at the Assay
Office.
New York Tribune.

"Yes, punched coins are a great
nuisance, but they came to grief at
last, said the rotund old messenger at
the assay Office Ia Wall street. "Wby.
we buy them here by the peck and
melt them up into silver bars What
do you pay2 Just what the silver
comes to IN cein, less 1 per cent. But
we never buy less than 500 worth of
Old silver. Many people come here
and expect we are going to give them
new piece for SEINE punched dime or
quarter they have. l usually send
them across the street to J. B. Col
gates bullion office. We get a queer
assortment of old silver herc-worn
out spoons, old family plate, watch
cases, medals, jewelry, refuse from
jewelers. shops, etc. You sec there
may be good deal of sentiment cling
ing to a bar of silver when you think
your grandmother's spoons or the pin
you gave your girl may be melted up
in it."
1t happened that the reporter had a.
punched quarter with the hole neatly
filled up with lead, which had been
recently passed off on him, sandwich
ed between two other quarters In max
ing change. Stepping over to Col
gates office he was told that the piece
was worth II cents. eve take in
such coins every day." said the clerk
as he tossed the bad coin into pile of
others and handed out the II cents,
81 think good many of them come
from the West Indies. They do not
mind punched money down there"
Another broker said: This punch.
ed money is q vexation to the public.
You have to scan every piece of money
you receive to make sure you are not
being swindled. Then nothing makes
you so mad as to have some one shove
a piece of money which you suppose
is all right back at you and say
punched. and look at you as if you
were a counterfeiter or thief 1t is
ten times as easy to take such a piece
as to get rid of it. You couldn't pass
them on blind man or aR ignorant
fruit-dealer, and about the only thing
you can do is TO put them into the con-
tribution box or give them to beggars,
and then you feel like a mean fellow.
l tell you punched money is bigger
nuisance than you think. This devise
of filling the holes with lead is poor
one. If the lead is scraped bright one
might be deceived in the dark, but the
fraud is easily found out if you look
closely. Other ways of tampering
with coin are to file it or bore into tae.
edges or sweat it. This last is usually
done to gold coin, and is simply sbak-
ing it in bag to get the gold dust that
comes off. There ought to be severe
penalties for tampering with coins. 1t
is the meanest kind of robbery"

Horticultural Notes.

Robert Freeman showed the editor
of the Hartford Press a stem Of pie
plant 90 inches long and 81 inches in
circumference. The leaf proper has
a spread Of feet inches in diameter,
and the whole weighed a trlfe over
four pounds.
"A writer in scientific journal
ridicules the idea that apples sweat
and that they must undergo a sweat
ing process before they are put in bar
rels in order to keep well. He states
that only injury comes from leaving
apples la piles IN an orchard, and that
the moisture found on them comes
from the atmosphere. He recommends
placiHg them in barrels as soon as
soon as they are picked.
If you are going to set a new
orchard remember that it is an excel
lent way to prepare plan of the Or
chard, showing the position of each
tree, its variety, etc. If tree dies it
can be replaced by one Of the same
sort. Some fruit raisers keep book
in which they register the age and
variety of every tree in their orchard,
together with any iteas in regard to
it's grating, productiveness, treatment,
etc, which are thought to be desir
able.
The Hudson river peach crop for
the present season is a disastrous fail
ure all through thevalley. Where in
former years the total yield was reek-
oned among the million baskets, not
over 80, 900 will now be gathered. It
is, perhG ps, safe to say that the river
growers will thus loose over $500 900,
and the loss will fall heavily upon a
large number who have devoted a
large share of their land to peaches,
in many cases on borrowed capital.
But tae grape prospect is different.
This now promises one of the largest,
if not the largest, products ever grown
on the river.
If sheep are keptin apple orchards
they will destroy the fallen fruit con-
tanning the cooling moth larva even
better than pigs. The first crop of
larga fall with the apples while they
are very small and somewhat bitter
in taste. Pigs will not eat these I'M
less starved to it and will leave many
unIOuCutus prSIcffInS W tde grass.
Sheep relish these small apples very
much, and will run around at all
hours of the day to gather them as
they fall. Later in the season the
pigs will eat the fallen fruit readily
enough.
Victor Hugo has written, THE
beautiful is useful as the useful, per-
haps more So" The truth of this
saying become more apparent upon
reflection than most people suppose.
The associations of flowers, of pleas
ing verdure, of breezy landscapes, of
works of art, are interviewer with our
natures to an almost incredible ex-
tent. even in the case of those who
professedly disclaim any love for the
beautiful. With the little ornament
commonly seen about farmers houses,
most farmers are more In sympathy
than they themselves suppose. and
were it suddenly taken away with no
possibility of its being returned they
would miss is more than they are
aware.
