Hints to Dairymen.

Hundreds Of cows are kept in each
county simply for supplying the family
with milk. In such cases the owners
have no opportunity Of grading up their
mich COWS, as the animals are kept on
limited areas and are often pastured on
hired pastures. As q rule such COWS are
inferior 10 those used for dairies from
which large quantities of milk are sold,
bat they should be superior in every re-
spect. One Of the great obstacles is that
no regard i given to the quality of the
milk. the value OF the COW depending on
the quantity she yields. Science, howev-
er. has come 10 the aid of those who are
endeavoring to secure the largest return
at the least cost, and teaches that milk is
a substance varying in it, composition,
and that its value does not depend on the
amount Of fluid yielded, but on the rela-
tive proportion of solids contained there
in, including the fat. The value Of the
milk, therefore, depends greatly on the
food, as foods also vary in their compost
ton. 4 COW may give as much as six
teen quarts Of milk per day and yet not
provide the family with as much nutri-
ton as one fed differently and giving a
less amount. Nor do the solids ALWAYS
designate the value according to quantity,
for they, too, vary, and it becomes 4 mat
ter Of judgment in feeding. The COW
cannot manufacture something out Of
nothing, and any deficiency existing in
the food will also exist in the milk
These matters are important, especially
when the milk is intended for very
young children, many Of whom pine
away for want Of some element that may
be lacking in the milk which constitutes
their sole food. The COW that is COM
PEELED to secure the greater portion of
her food here and there cannot give rich
milk and what IS intended by the term
rick milk means something more than
the cream, as it is often much easier for a
COW 10 give milk richer in cream than in
the essential elements Of food. She
should be a machine for rendering solu-
bic the foods that contain nitrogen and
the phosphates, as well as mineral mat
ter, which are really the nutitious prop
critics of milk. \ mess Of cornmeal, with
a bare pastare, viii not supply her. She
should have an abundance Of bulky food.
with grain Of various kinds. To select q
good COW without trial is 4 difficult mat
ter, but the best cows are hearty feeders.
and convert their food mostly to milk
and take on fat very slowly. They
should milk up close to their period Of
calying, and should be gentle and easily
managed.

The Lack OF Striking Things.

There are people who depiore in a.mei-
ancholy way the loss Of the golden age
of literature that, they tell US, has gone
forever. Everything to-day Is common
place. There are no fine essays, no grand
poems. no wonderful dramas that will
live forever, no striking stories The lit
eraiure of to-day is only 'the pouring Of
wine out of old bottles into new and
lots Of wine spilled in the process. Our
writers are busy over what some other
men thought Of what some other men
said. II this be so, and in certain
sense It is true. what is the natter Why
is II no sHamletsr are written to-day?
Il is said that there are in the United
states about two thousand persons who
fairly may be reckoned as writers Why
do We no; fad new Millions and Shakes
peares among them. We may be sure,
if they were there. they would be found
Centuries have their individualities.
There are tides in the lives Of nations.
Nav there not now be an ebb in the lit
erary work Of these times? There Is GER
tainly young food" in the scientific
thought Of this half of our century. The
character Of this century's thought is
technical, industrial, scientific. Litera-
ture is, after all, only mode Of expires
sion. May it not be possible that the
Millions of these days are using another
mode of expression Certainly. if we
look at mind like Edison's, We see an
original genius taking rank beside the
great creative minds Of the so called gol-
den age Of literature.
4 hundred years ago Edison would
have shown the thought that Is in him
by means Of great poem or drama To-
day ii seeks another and equally striking
mode Of expression. Besides This widest
division Of intellectual life into new
fields of labor may be noted another
point. The critical demand to-day Is for
originality. We are tired OF books about
books The wine Is no better for the new
bottles-let W. have new wine. This de-
mand has made it very difficult 10 say
anything new or striking. All the posi-
bic phases Of human experience have
been described, all the situations" in
which men and women may he placed
have been repeated many times in our
novels and dramas. There is no new
personal experience, otherwise such
books as "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" and
''she" would not have been written. -

The Ways and Means Commit

Unhappily for the condition Of the
American people and the power and
honor Of the nation, the decision of the
question of the symmetrical and COM
plete diversiication of our industries
rests, for the present, with the adherents
of the late southern Confederacy. The
eighth section of the first article of the
Constitution of that Confederacy prohib-
tied the laying of any duties or taxes on
importations from foreign nations, to
promote or foster any branch of indus
try. Five of the eight gentlemen whom
Speaker Carlisle, after frequent consulta-
tations with President Cleveland, named
as a junto 10 which the duties of the
Committee on WAYS and Means should
be confided, had sworn TO maintain and
defend that Constitution and Messrs.
Mills, W. p. c. Breckenridge, C. r. Breck-
enridge, Wilson and Turner had, by ser
wing in the Confederate army, shown
their willingness to lay down their lives
in behalf of Constitution that would
protect the South against the robberies
