Cows Chewing Bones.

Why do cows chew bones? Why do not all cows chew them? Probably there are farmers who honestly believe that because their own cows will chew bones if they can find them, all cows will do so, but this is a mistake, and n little wider observation would show it as such. Sucking calves rarely chew anything until they are old enough to begin to eat hay or other solid food. A weaned calf is apt to chew almost any thing it can get hold of. Chewing bones, tapping barn boards. eating old leather, whips, boots, woollen clothing, and the manure from grain fed horses, are all indications that the cows want something that they do not find in their regular food, or else, that they have lost their appetite, and have constant craving, or an abnormal condition of the digestive organs. A perfectly healthy COW will be fully satisfied with healthful food, such as grass or hay, just as a young, healthy calf will be per feeily satisfied with it's mothers milk taken in nature way.
 Forty years ago, the cows kept on Pine Hedge farm would all gnaw bones when they could get them. just as do other cows on some of the adjoining farms at the present time. The est cows, those giving the most milk, were the most persistent bone chewers, while the oxen and young stock, and the far row cows, or those giving little milk.

Not Dead Yet.

Atlantn papers are giving the public some curious and wonderful cases that are quite interesting. It seems that a young lady of Atlanta had been re- ported as dead. buf 1t came 10 the ears Of the Atlanta Journal that she was still alive, and being on the alert for news, reporter was sent tD the resi- dence to learn all the facts, Miss Belle Dunaway, who had been pronounced dead, met him at the door. stoutiy de- nying that slle was dead. She said:
 ..For four years, rheumatism and neuralgia have resisted physicians and all other treatment. My muscles seem ed to dry up, my flesh shrank away, my joints were swollen, painful and large, lost my appetite, was reduced to 60 pounds in weight and for mouths,
 was expected 10 die. commenced the use of B. E. B. and the action of one half bottle convinced ny friends that 1t would cure me. Its effect was like magic. It gave me an appetite gave me strength, relieved all pains and aches, added flesh to my bones, and
 when five bottles had been used had gained 50 pounds Of flesh, and 1 am to- day sound and well.'

The Peanut Crop.

We expected x It happens every ycai, with as much regL iarity as Thanksgiving Day or the Fourth of July, or the blighting of the peach buds in Delaware by the frost. The peanut crop in Virginia is failure. One might suppose, from the gravity of the an nouncement. that Virginia is the cnly State that raises peanuts. This is moi the case, as the visitor to the New Eng
 land Fair in Boston knows full well One of the most striking features of that exhibition is the display of North Caro- lima, and our readers doubtless have heard that the great attraction of that display is the mammoth peanut stand, where souvenirs of the exhibition are retailed at the low price of five cents per quart. It is said that some of the peanuts measure six inches in length, and that, judiciously piled in the meas ure, twenty of them will fill quart cup of the size used by dealers. This proves that the peanut crop of North Carolina is not failure. There are other States, also, that produce them in great quan- titles. It is difficult to see. therefore, what greater effect this announcement VIII l1NG III lHt htt lHtAf tht recent dispatch from Wisconsin an- nouncing that the cucumber crop which supple ed Wa-wa-tou-sa with pickles had been destroyed by the early frost.
 The rumor was doubtless started by some interested vender who hoped to be able to sell his wares at six cents a quart. But he might have known that it would be of no use. What he needs to do is to get up United Grand Lodge of Knights of the Peanut Stand. and have the price regulated by official dic- tation from the Grand Honorable Com mander- General of the Order He would then be in a position to dictate to growers the price at which they should sell their crop. and the peanut yender would at once rise to a social position only one grade below that of the plumber. By stamping every peanut with the seal of the order he could boy colt all the guerilla dealers by announc- ing to the general public that they must not buy any unstamped goods. If the individual in question will adopt this suggestion we are sure he will find that ''there's millions in it." Until some thing of the kind is done, we shall ex- pect to hear the familiar cry of ''live a qua-at. '--N. y. MaH.

PHYSICIANS who have made special
study of consumption dispute the gen.
orally accepted fact that consumption is
hereditery and instance the case of the
Indians, among whom consumption was
unknown until the disease was introduced
by the Whites. 1t can be introduced
into the system by incubation. Some
time ago three Greek physicians expert
mented with criminal who was SEN
fenced to death. His family had no sus-
ceptibility to the disease, and he was in
good health. He was inoculated with
the discharge from diseased lungs and
in three weeks gave signs of consump-
ton. The post-mortem examination
showed that both lungs were affected.

OUR STATE AFFAIRS.

After an interval of two years, the state
legislature will meet on the second We'd
nesday of January next. The session
will be one OF unusual Importance, and
will probably be longer than those held
under the system of annual meetings.
Among the subjects upon which it will
have to act are the election of United
Safes senator, the question of high
license, the proposed establishment of
separate agricultural college, and many
other matters affecting the general well
fare OF the people, as we'll as those more
especially connected with local interests.
Every tax payer and every intelligent
citizen Of The state will desire to have
clear, accurate and connected report Of
the proceedings of this important session,
and such report, more complete than
elsewhere given, will be found in The
Milwaukee Daily Sentinel. The Weekly
Sentinel will also contain a complete
synopsis of the proceedings with care
full analysis of all proposed legislation
sffecting the general interests of the peo-
pie, giving its readers the data for an 40
curate and comprehensive knowledge of
the proceedings ard their results.
During the same period congress will
be in session, and change in the ma
tional administration will occur, render
ing the news from Washington of excep-
tioual interest. Full reports from the
national capital, besides the general news
of the day, foreign and domestic, in ad-
dition to large amount of choice mis-
cellaneous reading. will appear in The
Sentinel. The terms of The Daily and
Weekly are as follows:
The Daily Sentinel, per month, IS
cents.
The Weekly Sentinel, for three
months, 25 cents.
The legislative session will probably
not exceed three months in duration.

The farmers are asking that the uni
versity fund be divided so that q separ-
ate agricultural college may be organized.
The trouble is the condition of affairs by
no means demand an agricultural college
in Wisconsin. There is great deal to
be done before that era of advancement
will be reached. Farmers first need local
organizations, at the meetings of which
topics pertaining to agriculture will be
discussed. \ college should always be
preceded by general feeling that there
is ! necessity for its existence. The es-
adjustment of college will not create
that feeling and such an institution
would stand more in need of students
than of appropriations. Work in this
direction should keep pace with the in
crease of intelligence and willingness
to profit by the advantages offered
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1885-01-08

THERE is feeling of antagonism aris-
ing between the two houses of congress
which may be the beginning of what is
inevitable in the future-an attempt to
abolish the Legislative power of the up
per house. The theory of having two
co ordinate branches Of the legislature is
by no means SO popular as it was some
time ago when the reaction against des-
potism was strong and the concentration
of great power in any one man or set of
men considered dangerous. The Eng
lish constitution which il the growth OF
experience and is so flexible that it never
stands in the way of popular demand,
has had its improvement mainly in the
absorption of legislative and executive
power by the house of commons. The
senate of the United States is useless
body, except in SO far as it has judicial
powers, and is an assistant and adviser
of the department Of state. The last few
years have demonstrated that two CO.
ordinate branches in legislative depart
ment are cumbersome, impracticable and
frequently vicious. more often obstruct
ing needed Legislation than preventing
what is hasty, and as is demonstrated
now, productive Of iealousies and con-
tentions which divert attention from
legitimate business. When the people
desire a change of administration con-
temporary change is made in the house,
but the party whose policy is rejected
has still the power of disregariing the
will of the people through the senate.
There can be no harmony OF action in
such cases. The difference in politics
of the senate and house has been fruitful
of evil the last few years and We will
soon be confronted with the absurdity Of
having hostile body debating who shall
not be confidential advisers OF the presi
dent.
The senate is rapidly degenerating into
a body whose special functions are to
foster the interests of corporations even
when these are in conflict with the inter
ests of the people. Senators are now
chosen through the influence of corpora
tons, and the secrecy which fear impos
ed is rapidly dying out. The house OF
lords has been shorn of its power and the
deprivation has resulted in good. Like
steps should be taken with the senate.
The responsibility which members of the
lower house feel, is a safer guaranty in
the character of legislation than any
check established by the existence of a
body not chosen by the people, or in
that conservatism which exists only with
reference to any diminution in the power
of aggregs ted capital. The feeling of
hostility between the two houses is a
matter of congratulation and for the
good of the public it is to be hoped it
will be persisted in until attention is
called to the utter uselessness of the
senate but to its diversion from its orr
ginal purpose to an enemy of the people.
