RAscALs IN BUSINESS.
Wicked Devices to Rob the People and De-
stroy Their Health.


stroy Their Health. tH
In country like this, where butter
and cheese-making may be prosecuted
so extensively that even the poorest man
may have a bountlful supply of these
dairy products on his table, it is an in
famous crime to put hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of pretended but
ter and cheese on the market. Besides
the millions of pounds of grease now dis
posed of in the name of butter, consid-
cradle business has grown up in the
manufacture of cheese which is not
cheese, but which is made to look and
taste something like it, and can be sold
good deal cheaper than the genuine
article, but which is dear at any price.
These wretched devices to roo the peo-
pie and destroy their health are also
| blow at legitimate industry, calling for
the most vigorous action on the part of
the Legislature, and yet in almost all
the States where anything like correc-
| tive law-making has been attempted
disgraceful failure has been the result.

their attention to these and other vii
famous counterfeiting operations is in.

Drying Off Cows.


If cows are not properly dried of, if
milk in considerable amount is allowed
to collect and remain in the udder af-
ter ceaSing to milk regularly there is
great danger from permanent obstruc-
ton of the milk flow in future. In
drying off cows it is well to skip milk
ing few time before ceasing entirely.
If the quantity secreted is not large ma
ture may be able to take care of it by
absorbing it again into the system, but
If the flow is large the absorbing yes
sells are unab e to dispose of the excess
and the milk then becomes as a for
eign substance, to be disposed OF in
the next best way not to endanger the
! fe of the animal. The milk may be-
come cheesey and the cheesey matter
may fill the ducts and permanently
close them to the flow of milk. Its a
good rule to milk drying up cow Just
often enough to keep the milk ducts
free from clotted milk. AS calying
time approaches extra care should be
taken to see that the udder does not
become too much crowded with milk.

WHEN the railway from st. Peters
burg to Moscow was projected Car
Nicholas suspected that the govern
ment officials in charge of the enter
prise were looking out more for their
personal interests in locating the
route than for direct and economi-
cal line. He proceeded to cut off all
such schemes at the root by laying a
rule on the map making a perfectly
straight line from one terminus to the
other and remarking in that autocrat-
ic and unanswerable tone which the
car of all the Russias is able to as
sumo, tThe railway will go here" It
did 60 there, and the result is that
the line does not go through any large
towns. These are reached, if at all,
by branches.

for 81 900 damages against the under

his suit. Ministers going unwarned to

Of the year did not produce their
effect until the second half"
Before the close of the first half also
the work Of construction then going
on had been practically brought to q
close. The better financial results for
the last six months are largely due to
causes which originated during the
previous six months, but which de-
velOped their effects at later period.
The total earningsfo for the year, exclud-
ing the St. Joseph & Western, and the
income from investments are $780,

SHIPPING oranges to Europe is a
new business for this country, but the
first experiment made gives encourage
ment for hopes of ultimate success. A
Boston firm shipped to Liverpool 100
boxes of Florida oranges, running 90
to 148 to the box. Laid down in
Liverpool the oranges cost 1878 per
Dox, and they sold for enough to clear
expenses, which is regarded as salts
factory for a beginning. The price
cannot be made so low as for Mediter-
ranean oranges, but the Florida fruit
has quality in it's favor, being sweet,
while the Mediterranean is sour. Next
year an effort will be made to push
the sale of Florida oranges in Europe,
In the hope of making the business as
important as that done in American
apples, Of which 100000 barrels have
been sent to Europe during the past
season. 1t will be a good thing for
the California orange-growers if the
Florida fruit finds amarket in Europe,
as then the Eastern market will be
less overdone.
