The Dairy.

In this country nearly IS worth OF milk,
cream, butter and cheese together are sold
and consumed to every dollars worth OF
beef. The market for dairy products is
practically inexhaustible,
The water which dairy COWS drink. Il i'm
pure, will spread its impurity to theit milk,
and the quantity and quality of the food
also makes its influence felt upon the guam
tity and quality of the milk.
The cheapest and the best way to get
good COW is to procure q calf from q first
class dam and raise it. 1t is like buying
tickets IN a lottery-the majority are
blanks, unless one may know what they
are.
Pumpkins for cows, it is said, have the
best effect when fed before very cold
weather, as there is less absorption of ami
mai heat to warm the mass, forty or fifty
pounds, that a COW will take into her
stomach.
A cross COW in q herd keeps the Others
always in O perpetual fear, and in that
manner lessons the milk from the others in
quantity more than may be sufficient to
balance that given by the cross one. A cross
or domineering cow should be got rid OF.
Professor Robertson. of Canada, claims
that cream raised by the deep cold process
produces butter that is less highly hovored
when first made, and is, in fact, often in
sipid at that time, but Tvs favor increases
with age, and is at its best when several
weeks old.
The improvement of the cow by expert
breeding, by which her capacity for profit
able production mas been so largely in
creased, that when formerly an average OF
9 600 pounds of milk and 125 pounds OF
hutter would do, we are now content with
600 pounds of milk and 300 pounds Of
butter per year.

Culture OF Celery.
Practical Farmer.


Celery is one of the most delicate and
wholesome of vegetables. Every farmers
garden ought to have bed of celery. Gar.
deners do not agree as to the best methods
of culture any more than do wheat farmers
agree about the best methods of wheat
culture. But there are certain general
principles that will apply and need not be
discussed.
Celery seed does not terminate and grow
rapidly. 1t needs moist soil continuously.
And whether one uses boxes or outdoor
beds the soil must be old, fine and rich.
In Kansas the seed may be sown any time
from the 1st of March until the st of May.
Choose the seeding time to correspond to
the time when the matured plant is to be
used. lfyou want the plant for early USE
then SOW early, il late, then SOW late. Be
particular about the soil in which the seed
is sown. Remember, il must be old, fine
and rich, and If the outdoor bed is used it
ought to be deep. For some reasons it is
better to use boxes. They will be better
cared for probably, and that is the princi-
pal reason. II boxes are used, make them
about4 inches deep and fill with soil as
above described, SOW the seeds thinly in
rows, then press the soil down compactly
and cover lightly with rich, fine earth,
like leaf mould. The earth must be kept
moist If the seeding is done early the
boxes should be exposed to the open air
every mild day, but taken under shelter
at night and kept in a temperature above
freezing. II the seeding is not done until
there Is no further danger of cold weather,
then the seeding ought to be done in an
outdoor bed. Don't forget to keep the
surface moist all the time until after the
plants are well set. The seed bed ought
TO be sheltered spot, so as to protect the
bed from wind and heat.

DR.. M'GLYNN'S BREAK.

The Reason for His Sudden Estrangem emit
From Henry George Explained.
New YcRX, February 10.-The Times
says the speech of DIR. McGlynn, at Pytha-
goras Hall, Thursday evening, declaring
that he no longer wanted Henry George as
Presidential candidate, has caused great
excitement in the United Labor party, and
it is not improbable that split will take
place. Socialists are delighted over the
quarrel between the prophet and priest OF
the United Labor party. Mr.. Jonas, of the
Volks ZeituDg, said he hoped the different
labor elements would now unite In politics.
The friends of Henry George seemed to
have been prepared for split between the
leaders. Generally they lsy the blame
upon Gay bert Barnes, Secretary of the Land
aud Labor party. Barnes, they say is itch
ing to get into the service of the Blaine
crowd. he wants to make the United
Labor party tail TO the Blaine Republi-
cans. he knew that he could not use Henry
George, because the latter's free trade prin-
ciples were in direct opposition to the high
protective tsrif doctrines of the Plumed
Knight. He had done some work for Henry
George in reading the proofs of his work
"PIotection and Free Trade" and he knew
well his positive nature.
But With Dr. McGlynn 1t was different.
So he n sde up his mind to cause an es-
trapeement between the two leaders, and
10 get Henry George thrown out of the party.
He insinusted himself into the graces
of DR.. McGlynn and gradually instilled
subtle poison into him. Mr.. Barnes intends
to deliver over the United Labor party to
the Blaine crowd by drawing away work
iugmen's votes from the Democratic party
in doubtful States. Only short time ago
be said the United Labor party must make
the grestest fight in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Indiana, which he re-
garded as doubtful States. He has been
urging the holding of national oonven-
ton to nominate q candidate for president.
What induced DR.. McGlynn to break so
suddenly with Henry George, the gentle
man thought, was that only few days ago
circular was sent out from the headquar-
tiers in this city to all Land aud Labor
clubs in the country proposing a union
with the Union Labor party in the West
and nominating DR.. McGlynn as candidate
for President. Mr.. George declined TO be
seen, and sent out to say that he would ex-
press his views in the next issue of his
paper.

Dairying on Small Farms.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

Dairying and pastur1ng have bean so long
considered as one and the same occupation
that but few farmers will venture to engage
in the former without devotiDg large por-
ton Of the farm to grass, upon which the
cows may be allowed to grsze during the
day. When this method is changed for
that OF feeding at the barn yard, it Is called
'soiliDg" the cows. Even those who do
not believe soiling can be done prohtsbly
involuntarily practice the soiling method
to certain extent during the winter sea
son, for at that time the snow covers the
pasture ground and compels the dairymeD
to prepare the food for the COWS and give
them his attention in the barn yard. The
principal obi lection to soiling is that it re-
quires a large outlay for extra labor, yet
there is as much profit derived from winter
dairyiug as there is during the summer.
The real benefit is il the saving of manure,
which is the most important occupation oD
the tarm, and the expense of providing
long fences 10 done away with. Practical
experiments show that by the aid of the
manure saved when soiliDg a sufficiency OF
green food can be grown on small plat to
feed quite q NUMBER OF COWS, as well as
TO provide better variety of food and Sc
cure greater yields of milk and butter.
Prof. Stewart. in his book on feeding ami
mails mentions how he fed four horses and
seven COWS for fifteen days on the food
grown upon forty rods OF ground; and he
has estimated that forty rods of ground
will produce enough to equal the summer
feeding of one COW, but sets aside half an
acre of clover as the allowance for q COW
during the summer. TINS result is not the
experiment for single season, bat the
work of fourteen years devoted to solling,
by which method the cows gave 20 per
cent. more milk than when kept on pas.
ture; and rye, clover, orchard grass, timo-
thy, green oats and fodder corn, with
ground grain when required, composed the
daily diet. The system is one that per-
mits the gradual accumulation Of wealth
in the annual increased fertility of the soil,
and, though extra labor may be necessary,
yet il is more effectual in operation, as ii is
not distributed over large space, couse-
quently there is economizing in hauling
loads to great distances over the fields.
| Soiling may not be profitable to those who
\ha7e plenty of pasture and large tracts OF
knd, but 1t will enable those having linn
areas to engage in dairsing, when, by
proper application of labor, they may
e larger profits than those who devote
land to dairyiDg, but adhere to the
&c system.

Iutely Indifferent So to who hold the offices
They want more of the money which they
earn to remain In their pockets. And che
talk about the Southern outrages begins u

More than half the farms are mortgaged,
and they are on the downward course from
freehoIders to tenants, and from tenants to
peasants. II the speakers can show these
men that their financial straits are the re-
