ceived this morning blythe Breeders Gazette

Illinois, announces that pleuro pneumonia has
again broken out in the herd of Jersey cattle

such havoc last autumn and it was hoped that it
had run its course there and that the herd could
soon DO released from quarantine. But this
fresh outbreak confirms all that has previously
been said about the insidious nature of this
malady, and Dr. Paaren has determined to at

slaughtered, as the only effectual method of
stamping out the disease 1t is reported that ne

LoeANsPoRT. April %. The most interesting
feature of the Loncks Louthain SANDER suit, at
Delphi, to-day, was the establishing of an alibi
by Rev. w. F. Loucks, on the only specific time

was in that city from Feb. 26 to March 16, con-
Quoting a series of revival meetings. This tes-
timony created a sensation. The argument of
counsel was commenced this afternoon, and will
be continued tomorrow. 1t is expected the case
will be given to the jury tomorrow evening.

Proposed Transfer ofGold from San Francisco
to New York.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The Secretary Of the
Treasury has under consideration several prop
ositions for the transportation Of a large amount
of gold from the substreasury at San Francisco
to the sub-treasury at New York. The transfer
Of about $685. OO0, 900 of gold coin is contemplated
Congress- ct its last session, appropriated $780,
900. which was made Immediately available for
the transportation of this gold. The rates sub
United by the express companies for the work
are all in excess of the estimates. When the
appropriation was asked it was estimated that
the gold wonld be transported at the
rate of $3.50 per $1,000. The lowest bid
made by the express company, however, is 81 20
per 81 600 In addition to the bids from the
express companies. There lis one from the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company, which offers to
make the transfer at a much reduced rate, but
the exact terms proposed by the steamship COM
pany are not known Tie reason for the trans
fer is to relieve the vaults at San Francisco,
which are taxed to their utmost capacity, and
also to have the gold in New York, where it
would ee more needed in case of a sudden de-
Iaand. 1t is expected that the Secretary will de-
eide on tbs method of transportation il a few
days.

We are aware that reported butter tests ay
plenty, of several breeds, and that reported mih
productions of noted cows and herds are easily
accessible But we notice, too, that in nea1y
all of them there is q notable absence of wiRt
the cows consumed to make the milk. Wheu
we read that the Jersey COW, Mary Anne, of St
Lamberts was induced to produce thirty Elk
pounds of butter in seven days, and the Holstdn
cow Mercedes" made ninety nine pounds ak
and one-half ounces of butter in thirty consetu-
tive days, the practical farmer, waiting 10 decide
which breed to invest in, wants to know what
each cow made the butter of, and what it cost;
and whether what each does is representative OF
the general run of cows of the same breeds.
The weight Of milk has but little to do in 1e-
termining the matter, and the weight of the bat
ter and cheese of individual cows but very little
more. The fact that one famous COW may weigh
down two other famous cows has but little to do
with it, either. The square question to put to
the eloquent advocates of breeds and the dis
pensers of COW chromos is: How many pounds
of protein carbohydrates. fat and salt does your
COW machine need to make 100 pounds of butter
or cheese?
The given thing with the dairyman is his pile
of hay, straw, roots and coarse grain. 1t ia just
as important for him to know what kind of cows
to feed it to it is to know the market price OF
the several kinds of feed if he was going 10 sell
them>to be taken off the farm. Cow and butter
tests that simply tell what cow does without
stating her cost of keep, don't enlghten him o
biz 1t simply excites vague wonder.
If one will take the pile and make 800
pounds of butter of it, and another cow can
make but $50 pounds the farmer doesn't want the
latter for butter-making.
He would like to know the facts before he pays
his money for either. Hence the breeders must
show up. No matter about the eighty five
pounds of milk per day or the thirty pounds OF
butter per week What has the farmer to show
for the product of his farm that he sold to hil
cowsa That is the leading question.
