A swindling reform measure like
the Mills protective tariff for the
South would have no other effect, if
it became law, than to destroy a
number of manufacturing industries
in the North, to reduce in those which
survive the wages of labor at least
one half, to drive hundreds of me-
chanics to farming and cattle.raising,
to increase the production of bread.

A few days ago the TIMES pub
lished an article inspired by Kenneth
Mcleod, foreman of the Silver For
ture group Of mines, on the East
Fork of Wood River, in which tina,
gentleman expressed the opinion tina,
that group would yet become known
as one of the greatest mine properties
OF the world, and that by next yea,
its effect on our prosperity would be
marked. Mr.. Mcleod has already
proved his faith by his works, by pre-
pairing to make his home here. To
that end he has leased the LeGrande
clearinghouse for one year, with the
privilege of purchasing.
That he intends to become its
owner is evident from the extent of
repairs and alterations which he is
making. He has already mad electric
lights put in at the door and in the
hall, and ordered them into every
room. He is also having the whole
establishment of "a rooms cleaned,
repapered, recarpeted, and thoroughly
renovated; and IN week or so will
have practically new house through
out. He will then leave it in charge
Of his brother, and return to his work

Pinkeye in Livestock.

This disease is influenza with oph-
thalmia. 1t is no doubt epizootic and
not contagious, being the result of
widespread atmospheric causes, as con-
tinued hot, dry weather, or close,
damp weather, or such other influences
as will disturb the condition of the ami
NAL. A heated dry spell, followed by
heavy cold rain or hail-storms, or q
wet time followed by damp. muggy,
hot weather, generally precedes IN at
tack of this disease. Animals kept in
dark, damp, unclean stables, or in wet,
undrained low fields are most subject
to this combined disease. The treat
ment is to give eighteen or twenty -four
ounces of EPSON salts, to change the
locality of the animal, and keep it on
dry soil in an open shed freely admit
ting air. and to put into the eye with q
soft camel's-hair pencil about two
grains Of burned alum (roasted to q
AIRY powder on a hot stove). If the eye

How the World Is Fed,

''Even the Oldest and best informed
man in the trade" said an experienced
salesman in the grocery business, ''can
not begin to tell you any thing about
the wonderful extent of the traffic in
food. Figures don't seem to express
the thing 80 that any body can re-
alize how enormous the business is.
Now every body knows that corn makes
only small part of what any body
eats. I mean by that, nobody eats
corn enough TO make it principal ar
ticle of diet. Yet there is one estab-
lishment in Maryland-a corn factory,
they call it-where there are thousands
Of cans of corn week put up and
sold. Now, consider that this is only
one establishment out of hundreds in
this country, and thousands in the
world, where food is put up in cans.
Then think that corn is only one small
item of food even among the canned
goods. And then remember that
canned goods are merely fraction OF
the food supply, and you will be ready
to acknowledge that the food indus
tries are too great TO be readily
grasped by the imagination. More
than three-ffths of all the workers OF
the world are engaged wholly in rails
ing or handling food. IN y. Mail and

Village Destroyed by Ice.

Advices from the fishing village of
Kerschkaranza, in Kola, a peninsula
on the White Sea, describe a wonder
fnl phenomenon, new in Attic annals.
which took place on January last.
At four o'clock in the morning the in
habitants were awakened by series
of heavy, dull detonations, like heavy
artillery. Shortly afterward Q great
ice wall to the northwest, several hum
dred feet high, was seen to be NOV
ing toward the village, doubt
less in consequence Of the pressure Of
the ocean Of ice outside. The ice hills
came slowly but irresistibly onward,
and passed over the village, which they
completely erased, and kept onward
for q mile inland. The ice travelled 8
mile md 9 half in four hours. The
villagers saved their uves, but little
else - Philadelphia Press.

Feeding Pigs.

Prof. T. Hunt, of the Illinois College
Farm, concludes as follows in summing
up the results of his experiments in
feeding pigs:
l. It required 1880 pounds of skim
milk to produce one pound of pork
when fed with cornmeal in ratio IL
to fattening hogs.
2. Skim milk could not be econom-
ically fed to fattening hogs unless it
was waste product which could not be
otherwise utilized.
8. It required on an average Al
pounds of shelled corn to produce one
pound of pork during an average
period of four weeks, or one bushel
produced 1871 pounds.
4. 1t required A. pounds of corn
meal to produce one pound of pork, or
one bushel of corn made into meal and
fed dry produced 122 pounds of pork.
s.. When fed dry, she'll corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed to
fattening hogs. -.
s. 1t required u pounds, or one
fourth bushel of ground oats to pro-
duce one pound of pork, when fed with
equal parts by weight of cornmeal.
z. One bushel of corn is worth near
ly three bushels of oats as food for fat
tening hogs.
8. Corn-fed pigs gained about II
pounds per week, and ate about 81
pounds of corn per 100 pounds of live
weight.
9. The gain for the amount of food
consumed during the fattening.
10. Pork was produced during the
cold weather. with corn at % cents
per bushel, for less than cents per
pound.
II. An insufficient food supply for
two weeks caused very cor siderable
loss in feeding thereafter.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

A Maryland Judge Decides When One 10
Passenger. and When Not.
Has a person riding in horse-c;.r q
right to leave tho car for any purpose
and then return to it to resume the
ride without paying a second farep
That is q point of frequent dispute
between conductors and passengers.
1t was the cause of a lawsuit that was
recently carried to the highest court of
Maryland, which rendered an elaborate
opinion ON the law in the matter.
Il man riding on one of the Balti-
more street-ears complained that he
was insulted by the driver and told the
latter he would report him. The
passenger remained on the car until
about q block away from the COM
pany's office, when he got off and hur-
ried toward the Office with the inten-
ton of reporting the driver and then
resuming his trip ON the car. Mean
time the driver jumped off, followed
the passenger and assaulted him. The
latter thereupon sued the company for
damages.
The Court of Appeals assumed that
the company would be liable if the
person was Il passenger ut the time he
was assaulted by tho driver. But was
he passenger in view of the fact that
he had left the car? The court held
that he was not. and hence that the
company was not liable.
The rule it laid down is that a pass.
enger has a right to ride to the termi-
nus of the line if he chooses. 1t added
that he may also leave the car tempo
rarily and return to it, provided he
gives the conductor notice of his intent
and the conductor assents. In such
case his right to continue his ride is
not forfeited, and he remains passen.
ger even when off the car. But if he
leaves the car without giving such no
tice it is to be assumed that he has ter.
minated his trip, that the contract be-.
tween him and the company is at an
end and that he il no longcr passen.

Where Log Cabins Flourish.

A party Of American gentlemen, who
! had been camping out on an island in the
great Lake Niplssing, Canada, last sum-
! mer, were returning in sail boat and
were yet seven miles from port when the
sun went down, and with it the sailing
breeze.
A discouraging situation, truly.
"Never mind, I can row you there inside
pf two hours" said the guide who had

arose.
"Why, man, it is seven miles, there are

and can do it again." cheerfully replied the
broad-shouldered Irishman, as he slowed
away the sail and bent to the oars. He was
q splendid oarsman and the boat was soon
under Roadway again.
"What would not give to enjoy your
health and strength" remarked the Pro
lessor.

am past sixty feel as strong as ever" re-
piled the guide. "But only three years ago

An Odd Time Recipe Which In rs Good To.
day as Ever 1t Was. & q
Some forty years ego On old lady In
Tinmouth, Vt, gave mo q recipe for
making skinned cheese, which was
made in large quantities in that vicini-
ty and shipped to Boston long before
that time when transportation was usu-
ally performed by four-horse teams.
Those skinned cheese sold there for
the same price as whole-milk cheese.
They We're ready for market any time
after two weeks old, and were made,
as nearly Us can recollect, after the
following formula: The milk after be-
Ing skinned should be warmed to
within about eight degrees of the tenn
Perature for whole cheese, and enough
rennet used to cause it to commence
coagulating in about fifteen minutes.
1t should be stirred constantly from the
time the rennet is put in until ready to
whey of. Previous to setting the milk
for cheese the cream should be
churned and the buttermilk should
be raised to the same tempera-
ture as the milk and should be-
added to it as soon as the latter COM
mences to show the caseine and stirred
constantly until ready to scald, which
should be about six degrees less than
Tor whole cheese. Annatto or some
other coloring matter should be used
to give it a rich color Carrots were
used in those days., and about one
ounce of saltpeter to make the curd
tender to IS Or 40-pound cheese. In
case part of the milk has soured lit
tie, little saleratus or soda should be
used to sweeten it. A little less salt
should be used than for new milk
cheese; otherwise the cheese will be
hard. Cheese made in this way should
be used when about three weeks old;
then they are full ripe, soft and de-
licious, and in those days tho best
judges could not distinguish any diff
ference in the quality, if three-weeks
skim were tested with six-weeks new
cheese.
l had but q few COWS at q time. and
no facilities to keep the milk sweet, so
In hot weather used half new milk
and made cheese every other day.
In the fall 1 used all skim milk, and
the cheese were not so uniform
in quality, yet when the right guam
titles of annatto, salt, saltpeter and
saleratus were used the cheese was
uniformly good. used tank and a
common kitchen stove and had no idea
OF modern facilities for making cheese,
yet l got the highest price paid for
new cheese. l sold mine as skim
cheese, but buyers did not believe it;
thought took that way to ''brag up"
my cheese.
There is no part of the caseine con-
verted into butter when butter is made
1t all remains in the milk and butter
milk. and is usually fed to the hogs.
When cheese is made of new milk a
portion of the butter is run off with the
whey, and is useless for making table
butter afterward.
p l made skim cheese only two seasons,
as reduced my dairy to two or three
COWS, and have made no cheese since.
I am positive that with present facili-
ties, both butter and cheese can be
made from the same milk Of superior
quality to the mutual benefit of both

Getting Their Eye. Open.

Victory in Rhode Island brings disgust
TO the hearts Of Mugwumps. The New
York Times with melancholy observes
that "the Prohibition vote was reduced
sadly" which indicates that sincere Pro-
hibitionists IRE tired Of being used rs
cheap tools by the saloon keepers. and
that the great and glorious reform" of
the Cleveland variety no longer promises
free trade. 1t will be found, when 1t
comes TO the final reckoning, that many
sincere supporters of civil service reform
are also tired of being used as cheap tools
by free traders. A healthy decrease in the
Prohibition and Mugwump vote is the
natural result Of enlightening experience.
When men have voted for reform"
thereby turning the civil service into o
Cleveland machine, and for Prohibition,
thereby making the state government the
property of1iquor dealers. they are apt to
discover that thoy have not been sensible.
