in order to make d race Of mixers of
the Shorthorns we need not change
the type OF the animal but change the
feed and mode of handling.
A Nebraska correspondent OF the
Agriculturist writes that journal that
there is clearly an over-producJion in
the cattle business, and it's interests
every tax-paying and renting farmer
In the United States who raises calf.
This oyer-production is a serious
drawback, especially to the cattle
raiser in the great corn-growing states.
Cattle have deprecated in value so
rapidly that they can hardly beraised
with profit on lands worth twenty
five dollars per acre and upward. The
result is being felt far and wide;
money is borrowed on mortgages. in
the hope OF better prices, which do
not come.
Some light is thrown on the question
whether corn-fed pork is best, by
rem ark OF one lady to another recent.
ly: SHOW much more gravy you get
out OF your pork than we do" The
latter used corn-fed pork. whose
recommendation is that it does not
cry away" Bnt the users of such
pork always complain of it as too fat.
They are eating in the pork what the
good housewife carefully puts away in
crock to use for shortening for pies
1t IS not lost to have the fat fry out
OF the meat. It is still as good as
lard. Which it really Is mixed with
enough salt to season it.
Prof. Shelton, OF the Kansas Agri-
cultural College, states that corn
planted thickly in drills, and shocked
when the ear has fairly passed the
milk stage, is the best and cheapest
fodder. This is agreed to by Wis
consin dairymen who have used larger
and larger quantities every wear.
Dairymen in Dakota should make a
note OF this, and learn to appreciate
the value OF the corn crop, as their
neighbors do.

How To Kill Live-Eorever.

Care ofthe Head,

DR.. Nichols, senior editor OF Popular
Science News, in an article in that
journal, attributes the early badness
Of men, which is now so noticeable in
churches, theaters, lecture-rooms and
political assemblies, to modern false
methods OF treatment Of the hair and
scalp. There is too much washing,
shampooing and rubbing done, too
much soap, ammonia and alcohol
used for the good ofthe hair. He says:
Women do not shampoo or wash
their hair as often as the other sex
and consequently they are in a large
degree exempt from badness in mid
ole life. 1t is true, however, that
many women in cities make frequent
visits to the hairdressers, and subject
their tresses to the securing process.
Ii this becomes common, 1T Willnot be
long before badness will overtake the
young mothers as well as the fathers,
and the time Will be FASTENED when
the children even will have no hair
to destroy with ammonia or other
caustlc cosmetics.
The advice we have to offer to
young men and maidens is: Let y our
hair alone; keep at a sale distance
from hairdressing-rooms and drug
shops, where are sold oils, alkaline
substances, alcoholic mixtures, etc.,
for use upon the hair. The head and
the hair may be washed occasionally
with soft, tepid water, without soap
of any kind. AS a rule, the only APP
planes needed in the care of the
hair are good combs and brushes; and
they should not be used harshly, SO
as to wound the scalp. Avoid all
'selectric" and wire made brushes.
No electricity can be stored in hair
brush; ii it could be. it is not needed.
The hair is a beautiful gift OF nature,
and it must not be DESTROYED.

Rations For Dairy Cows.

One OF the most successful butter
making dairymen in the country, who
keeps large herd of mich cows, adj
heres to the following rules in feeding
his stock, and SAYS the result IS most
satisfactory in every particular: One
quart Indian meal, two quarts each
OF oatmeal and wheat bran, and one
pint OF oilnleal. This should be mixed
with about half bushel of cut hay
and well moistened with water before
feeding. He gives this ration, night
and morning Ito cows of medium slzel
in addition to what hay they may
eat, Of which clover is best, ii cut just
as it is coming into blossom, cured so
that all the leaves adhere to the stems
when transported to the barn, and
moved away. Larger Or smaller COWS
require correspondingy less Or
more. OF course, when in good pas
ture, or abundantiy soiled. neither
meal or bran is necessary, but II
scant, then they should be fed what
ever they may need OF these to keep
up the flow OF milk. It would be bet
ter to grind the corn and oats to-
l,ather, at the rate of one bushel OF
the former to two OF the latter, and
then mix three quarts OF wheat bran
and one pint Of oilmeal for the ration.
Instead of oilmeal some substitute
cotton-seed meal, but the latter does
not agree we'll with all cows; and be-
ing richer and heartier than the for
rner, it might be safe to begin with a gill
Or half-pint night and morning, and
watch its affects before increasing the
dose. All grass for hay for cows
should be cut not later than when'
gust coming into blossom; some dairy
men say it is better to cut before this.
and then it will make yellow butter
all winter the same as grass pasture

Hard and Soft Water in Cooking.

ALI cooks do not understand the
different effects produced by hard and
soft water in cooking meat and vege-
tables. Peas and beans cooked in
hard water, containing lime or gyp-s
sum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable
caseine. Many veget ables, as onions,
boil nearly tasteless in soft water, be-
cause all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition OF salt often checks this, as
in the case OF onions, causing the veg
etables to retain the peculiar flavor
ing principles, besides such nutritious
matter as might be lost in soft water.
For extracting the juice Of meat to
make a broth or soup, soft water,
unsalted and cold at first, IS best, for
it much more readily penetrates the
tissue; but for boiling where the Juices
should be retained, hard water or
soft water sailed is preferable, an&
the meat should be put in while the,
water is boiling, SO as to seal up the
pores at once.

strikes,
Editor Of Times

LV'sV " h'"'S'
Heartily approving, as DO, and as all
sound thinkers must, Of your Logical
position GH national, State, and personal
questions, IL IA a matter of regret TO find
YOU departing from your impregnablc
stand when you come TO speak Of strikes
What you approve or contemn. not &C
cordiDg TO th"ir vital principle, but
merely according as they are accom-
panied or not with violence to the rights
OF those Immediately concerned, how
ever, much the rights Of others, or of ,he
great problem itself may be trampled
upon.
The only sound and logical position is
that strikes in their nature are fundamen
tally wrong, and whyg Let Us bring
things down TO their essence or gcrs1
which is lhe only sure and safe method
of arriving at their truth, and We can
readily see why strikes are wrong In
principle. and let US take the case Of an
influential and q feeble man in the same
locality.
The influential man desires for some
reason, We will even say for a good rea
son In his eyes, to break up or drive away
the weak man engaged in some lawful
calling, and to do this, he not only re-
fuses TO deal with him, but he induces all
others 10 follow his example. What is
this man doings He IS simply find
ing he cannot break the weak
man down By his own efforts, organizing
strike against him, and can any one
deny that the strong man is perpelrating
a grieyous wrong against the weak man
And does not the law itself so construe
the act. For does il not make the man
who seeks by word or act, by himself or
by another to Interfere with another $
business, liable in damages for so acting
and all decent people cordially approve a
verdict of heavy damages against such an
offender.
Now, il deed Of this kind, where res.
possibility can be made to attach IS Vi
cious, what must be said Of the morality
OF strike where in the very nature OF
the case no responsibility can attach, and
where no redress can be obtained for In
jury done:
Such an act, whether accompanied by
violent intimidation or not IS dOubly vi
cious, can be the only logical reply.
A strike, whether engineered by an in
diyidual, by society, or by the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers is simply
an unjust and arbitrary interference
with the rights OF others, and is just as
blameworthy as an organization OF manu-
facturers or railroads TO blacklist indi-
yiduals or arbitrarily to depress wages
and is of the same nature rs the Sugar
Trust. Standard OH Trust, and otneI
trusts that are casting their baleful shad-
ow over the country, only that strikes
are much worse than these trusts or com
binations, for violence or intimidation
are nseparable friends OF strikes
Strikes are conspiracies, and like all
conspiracies they are necessarily wrong
