Group.

This subject comes, perhaps. more
naturally under the department Of
"The Family Physician" where it
would be treated wisely, as are all the
subjects of that department. But we
are requested to give our method OF
treating this disease, a mode of treat
ment we have used nearly every win
ter for twenty-seven years and always
with the best results.
Mothers need to use great care
to protect their little ones from Group,
TO which they are liable at this season
of the year. 1t Is an lnflammatory
affection of the mucous membrane of
the trachea, and is influence greatly by
the condition Of the mucous men,
brane Of the stomach as well as the
external skin. The eating OF proper
food at regular intervals only, wearing
warm loose clothing covering well the
extyamities, keeping the feet dry and
warm, and avoiding over heated
rooms, especially dry heat, with atten-
ton to ventilanon-all these are help
ful in warding off this disease.
Children inclined to Group should
always sleep so ne al the patents as to
be be heard when the first symptoms
appear. There should be no delay in
the use of restorative means, else the
chlld's life Is in danger. But while you
need to hasten in attention, endeavor
to be a calm, quiet, sell possessed, thus
YOU will be better prepared to do jus
the best thing in the best way. Besides
in inhammatory diseases there is great
excitability OF the nervous system, and
a child with Group should not have this
excited condition aggravated by the
uncontrolled excitement of the parents
or those about it, or by treatment that
is irving to the child. Oh, how thank.
tul l have been, many times, that | did
no feel obliged 10 pour some hateful

1 Good Illustration.

The ATaL0nrhe, OF Memphis, Tenn
one OF the strongest Democratic pa
pers IN the South, furnishes US with the
following excellent illustration of the
folly of "free trade so called:
The Georgia grangers have fur
nished a notable illustration OF the ben
efts to be derived from the free trade
theory. They sell their young cattle
to Texas drovers and afterward buy
them back in the shape OF Chicago
packed beef. This promotes trade
and commerce and is a good thing for
the Texas drovers, the Chicago pack
ers and railways, but is a policy which
viii keep the Georgia grangers' nose
10 the grindstone for all time to come.
1t Is the same policy which our free
trade friends wish the United States to
adopt, and if carried out would destroy
great home markets for agricultural
product and convert the American far
mer into a newer of wood and drawer
ofwater for the British tradesman and
manufacturer.

Senator Hill of Colorado, last week
made a forclbe speech IN advocacy of
MS bill to established telegaphy as
part of the postal system OF this coun-
try. The speech shows that he has
thoroughly studied the subject. He
presented long array of figures pre-
senung the statistical history of postal
tclegraphy in Europe, especially in
Great Britain, and other evidences
showing the complete success of the
system IN the countries where it has
been tried, not only IN cheapening the
rates, but also in adding to the facili-
ties of the people for intercourse with
each other, without imposing any addi-
uonal tax burdens through the Govern
ment He also gave a history of tele-
graphy In this country, showing the va
nous stages of the process by which
the bushes had been absorbed and
moFopolized by the Western Union
Company, and that the nominal stock
of this company represents more than
tnce the capital actually invested. This
fl .titious capital is purely the product
OF the watering" process; and yet
the people in Geographic rates are
Charged for the whole, as if the whole
", ere a bona ide investment of real
capital. The Western Union is to. day
a stupendous and INSCRIPTIONS mono
poly, so strong as to render all private
competition with it impossible.
Senator Hill, after this exhibit of the
situation in the fact thereof, briefly ex.
planned the provisions of his bill. We
do not say that this particular bill Is
the best that can be prepared, though
ltsuikes us very favarably; but we do
say that Congress, by passing this bill
or a better one, ought to give the coun-
Try The benefits of postal telegraDhy.
We have no doubt as to the wisdom
and practicability ofthe ideas in appli-
cation to the United States. What has
worked SO admirably in Great Britain,
as well as elsewhere, will work well
here. The people want it, and in tie
end viii have il i;not bv tn S congress
hen by one yet to be elected that Will
n this respect respond to the popular
demand.-LHdsbn&tuf

Percentage of Cream in MILK.

Cream, like milk, varies very much
in its character. Some milk will yield
a per cent of cream, but such cream
Will often produce no more butter than
that from cow which does not yield
halt as much. We sometimes hear
great stories about the yield of cream,
but we should bear in mind that one
quart of average cream will yield a
pound of butter. This would give 10
I-2 per cent. of butter where So per
cent. of cream was obtained. The
cream, however, where large per
c,nt. is generally frorhy, while that
where there is a smaller per cent IS sol
id, so much so in fact that after run
ming a knife round the edge between
the cream and the pan 1t can some
times be lifted off in solid mass.
The amount OF cream which a COW
may yield gives very indefinite idea
of the value OF the COW, The test
should lie the amount of butter the
COW will produce. In this matter there
is wide discrepancy between the an
alysis ofthe chemist and the amount of
mercantile butter marketed. The diff
ference may be accounted for in this
mrnner: When milk is submitted to
the chemist for test he examines for
the amount of pure fat contained IN 1t
from which every particle of foreign
matter is excluded, BY such a test all
water is expelled by the application of
heat. 1t is very seldom that over S
per cent of pure fat is obtained. When
we Judge from the amount of merchant
able butter obtained, we do not include
some buttermilk in greater or less
amount, according to the skill of the
butter-maker. Again, in all butter
there is percentage Of water which
can only be expelled by heat. There
is also an amount ofsalt added. With
these additions it is not an Indifferent
herd OF COWS which will yield per cent
of mercantile butter, or one pound of
butter from ten quarts OF mix. We
have heard of butter yields which put
this estimate in the shade, and while
no doubt cows have done better than
this, yet such animals are exceptions 10
the rule and are CT course superior ami
mails. Eight quarts OF milk from some
COWS would produce one pound OF bu'-
ter. Should such COW average eight
quarts of milk per day for year, which
would require a production of sixteen
quarts for the early part of the season
she vould yield 365 pounds OF butter
per year, ranking her among the best
COWS in the land OF course there are
exceptional COWS which have a much
larger record, but we are writing OF av-
erage animals. 1

Ter. The animal eats more heartily,
digests better, while the vital forces

These facts are not in themselves very
important, yet they suggest the query
whether close stabling of COWS in win
ter or summer is better than giving
them the run OF a yard or pasture lot
