TOO MUCH SCIENCE.

Thele is so much talk in agricul-
tural journals about the average sol
ids in milk, foods rich in albumin
ODDS, fat, ~caseine, ETC., by "dairy pro
fessors," that one would be led to
think that one of our closet dairy
men might be able to change any
scrub into a high-class milk produ-
Ger. The practical man will, how
ever, go on getting the best breed of
COWS he can forthe purpose required,
giving them a variety Of food in
winter and a variety Of grass in sum-
mer, and with clean dairy work rake
in the shekels. All that class who
run after some particular brand OF
salt, or peculiar manner of feeding,
or scientific manner of manipulating,
which some alleged professor is paid
for advertising, find in the end they
cannot make money out Of the APP
plication Of this kind of science. Use
common sense! Some COWS will not
pay for the food consumed, in milk.
Discard them. Some will just about
pay. Discard them! When you have
graded your dairy stock SO as to
show a clear profit for the food con-
sumed, you are travelling along the
road to success.

OF the Is varieties experimental
with, Cheddar was digested in the
shortest time, -four hours), while
unripe skim Swiss cheese required
10 hours for solution. There is no
difference in the digestibility Of all
sorts of hard cheese, OF all soft cheese,
but all fat cheeses are dissolved the
most rapidly, because, being open by
reason of the fat, they r more
readily attacked by the solvent.
There is no connection between the
digestibility and the percentage of
water present in the cheese, but
there is some connection with the
percentage of fat and the degree of
ripeness. From examination of the
quantity of nitrogen dissolved, the
author concludes that, on account of
its great digestibility, cheese is the
most nourishing of all foods, meat
and eggs excepted.-JoMmal Memt-
cal Society.

SWARMING

The supposition hat when bees
are swarming the new or young bees
are being driven off by the old mem
bers is a mistaken one. The old col
ony, with their queen, leave the hive
to new and younger queen, and
give up all their comb and honey al
so, taking to a fresh location where
ever it can be found. If the old
queen can be captured as oon as
she alights with the swarm, which
clusters closely around her, the old
colony may be easily transferred to
another hive; but should the bees
be left to themselves until they Sc
lect a permanent home they will not
be SO easily managed. AS soon as
they have determined to adopt the
new hive as their future home the
beekeeper may ave them time and
labor by. preparing the hive with
such artificial adjuncts as may be
necessary for their assistance.

A JUSTICES FIRST CHARGE.

"Gentlemen Of the jury, charging
a jury is a new BUSINESS to me, as
this is my first case You have heard
all the evidence, as we'll as myself;
you have also heard what the learn
ed counsel have said. If you believe
what the counsel for the plaintiff
has told you, your verdict will be for
the plaintiff; but if, on the other
hand, you believe what the defend
ants counsel has told you, then you
will give a verdict for the defend
ant. But if you are like me, and
don't believe what either of them
has said, then I'll be id if [ know
what you will do. Constable, take

THE BIG MONUMENT SWAPS
WITH THE SUN.

At a meeting of the Washington
Monument Society Col. Casey made
some very interesting statements to
the members in regard to his obser-
walton ofthe habits of the monument,
for it appears that the great obelisk
is a moving, if not a living thing,
and that it has a regular swaying
motion when the sun is shining upon
it. On every bright day the apex
of the monument moves at least one
inch westward in the morning when
the suns rays first fall upon it, and
eastward again nthe afternoon when
the sun reaches the western side.
The heat of the suns rays have an
expansive effect upon the masonry,
and the plummet that is suspended
in the interior of the monument reg
listers this movement from dayt to day.

keeper to a crowd of his townsmen.
"You have made O than that"
quietly remarked a listener.
What is that?" j
"You have made wretched homes,
women and children poor, and sick, and
weary of life. You made my two sons
drunkards; you made the younger OF
the two so drunk that he fell and injured
himself for life. You have made their
mother a broken-hearted woman. You'll
get the full count some dayt"

ceived, for the reception Of students
in practical agriculture on and after
May LIST, 1886. Pupils in this de-
partment will Seside on the farm and
be regularly employed/in all it's OPP
erations. They Nillhot be required
to engage in reguMr studies and rec
itations from May LIST to September
LIST, will have access to the library

the pupil.
The farm of $50 acres is most con-
veniently located between St. Paul
and Minneapolis, within fifteen min
utes' ride from either city by the
Manitoba Shortline, from St. An
thony Park. The farm contains
every variety of soil and exposure,

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, MAY 26, 1885,
SHARPERs WHO GOT LEFf.

There is a sharper's game (which
has been played for the last hundred
years, and as the turning/point is
avarice the game works forty-nine
times where it fails once. Two sharp
ers set out a few weeks ago to play
1T on a Wayne county farmer. One
OF them came along one day and
wanted to buy the farm. AS the far
mer wanted to sell it was quite easy
to strike a bargain. The price was
to be $4,000 in cash, and the man
handed over $3.50 to bind the bar
gain. Within two days a second
stranger came along and wanted the
farm. He wanted it SO bad that he
couldn't stand still. He found indi-
cations OF coal, natural gas and coal
OIL, and he was willing to give $4,000
for the place. The idea was, of
course, that the farmer would be
awful sick of his first sale and seek
to buy the man off. 1t would pay
him to offer the man $500 to release
him.
The second stranger was only out
of sight when the first one turned
up again. His mouth watered over
the prospect, but not for long. The
farmer explained that he had been
offered $25OO more, and added:
"But l don't care for money. The
$4,000 is enough for me, and it's all
the old farm is worth. When you
are ready to pay the balance we'll
make out the papers,"
The purchaser offered to release
him for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
but the farmer didn't want to be re
leased. He hung to the bargain
money, and he's got it yet, while the
pair OF sharpers rave and gnash THEN
teeth every time they think of the
thickness of his skull.-Detrod Free

men Morrison and Springer he had the
confidence of his constituents. He has
steadily adhered to democratic princi,
pies. and his course IN congress meets
with the appreciation of the united de-
mocracy of his district. A movement,
actuated by the desire to have a Rock
Island man nominated, caused the friends
of E. W. Hurst to present his name to
the convention. The other counties
were unanimous for Mr.. Niece, however,
and Mr.. Hurst developed no strength
outside of his own county in the convcn-
ton. His candidacy will not be devoid

that he will receive larger plurality than

THE RESULT In MAINE.
BLAINE SAID TO BE PERFECTLY SAT-
ISFiED WITH THE FIGURES.

STATE and County Tickets and All -Four
congressman Secured by the Repubii-
cans-An Incident of the Tennessee
Campaisn-Close of the Fight at wau-
kesha.
AUGUSTA de, Sept 15-The Republican
majority at the state election appears to have
exceeded the fiattering figures shown by the
canvass Of the Republican state committee
Three tickets were in the tield-Republican,
Democratic, and Prohibition 1t seems that
Joseph r. Bodwen, the Republican candidate
for governor, is elected by from 1900 tc
loco plurality, counting the Prohibition vote
at between 4 900 and 500 The smalness OF
the latter vote was a source of much chagrin
and disappointment 10 the Democratic party
who had made that their distinctive
issue and their party leaders having
set the third party vote as high as 49, 900
The returns indicate as much loss from the
Democratic ranks as from Republican by the
Prohibition movement, many young and alsc
diS,tfected Democrats voting with them The
knights of Labor forming no political organ
ization, their vote was not felt, with the ex.
ception of one or two small towns The
Republicans with have large majority In
both branches OF the legislature, thus
insITing the recollection of United
States senator Eugene Hale. Al
four of the representatives to congress are re
elected, with gains in all four districts over
two years ago. The vote as compared with
that Of two years ago is far above the ex-
pectations of the most sanguine Republican
leaders i'll the state. Chairman Manley of the
state committee, announced the returns to a
large gathering OF enthusiastic Republicans
and expressed himself as more than satisfied
with the undoubted result Of the election
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept-Mr Blaine feels
happy over the result of the election and re-
CARDS il of national significance that Maine,
with the national administration in the
hands of the Democratic party, should give
such decided Republican majority, and
that the Republican vote should hold up Sc
large which went to show, as he thought,
that the party is stronger than ever.
AUGUSTA, Me, sept l5.-The official cleo
ton returns are being received at the state
house. About loJ towns and cities have re-
sponded thus far
Chairman Manley said Tuesday afternoon
that Bodwell's majority over Edwards, for
governor will reach fully 1900
The returns 50 far received show that
the state senate will be composed OF
twenty-,ix Republicans and five Demo
Gratis. The last senate was entirely Repub-
lcan
The house of representatives Of 1855 was
composed Of rs Republicans, thirty-fouI
Democrats and two GreenbackerS. The Re
publicans have gained twelve and lost two,
and four more are in doubt If the doubtful
ones are all Democratic, the Republicans will
have gain of SIX over last year.
SKOwEGAN. Ne, Sept. 15.-Somersat
county gives go plurality for Bolwell and
elects seven Republicans Of eight representa-
tive, gain of two from 1881; also a Repub-
lcan senator andevery county officer
