CheaD Cuts of Meat.

Many of the so-caIled cheap cuts OF
meat are preferable; for instance. the
shoulder OF mutton is much more delicate
than the eg, and,a most persons know,
the price is low. The English, who of
all people know what good mutton is,
always give the leg to the household and
save the shoulder for guests or first
table. However, meat IS not the only
th. ug YOU must learn to choose. Livery
housewife does not know that a de-
Ecious stew may be made ofround steak,
which costs mere trite compared with
the choicest sirloin and porterhouse
steaks. First pound the round steak,
then cut it into small pieces and proceed
as with any meat stew.

How TurSeyS arc Stuffed.

The common method of stuling tur-
keys is as follows: The birds are put up
in coops with su cent room for air and
light, but not for much exercise, and
are fed four times day with sti dou"h
made of oatmeal and cornmeal and milk.
This is continued for three weeks, when
the birds are tit for the table. Some
times the turkeys arc crammcd, that is,
the food is made into pellets which are
forced into the birds lhroats; but this
excessive feeding is injurious to the
health of the turkeys and, consequently,
not desirablc.-N. 70 lVrE Times.

Warm Water for Dairy Cows.

warm " 3ter lot COWS
A test was made during the winter Of
1879 at the experiment station of the
Agricultural College of Michigan for the
purpose of determining how milk and
butter products would be Affected by
warming the water drunk by dairy COWS.
The Ilols!e Elm cow Mac was chosen for
the test, winch began January l., 1873,
and lasted ei ght weeks. + or the tlst
month the cow was fed bran, ensilage
and corn stalks. Half the amount Of
bran and ensilage fed daily was given in
the MOI ming ami the remainder at night.
The stalks were led at noon. The
second month Mac was fed ensilagc,
bran, cornmeal and ground oats mixed !;
the daily ration was divided into two
feeds, while hay was fed at noon. The
first week and every alternate week dur
ing the t, ST, water warmed to sixty de-
grees f. was gwen the cow to drink.
On the second week and alternating
weeks cola wafer was given her.
A study of The table shows that the
milk and butter product was but little
affected by The temperature of the water
drunk. In the last two weeks of the
test the balance is in favor OF cold water.
The Mount of butter made the last week
on cold water was one pound seven
ounces more than the preceding week
when warm water was given. This holds
true in no other case, there being a
slight balance in favor of warm water
during the entiic period. The week
wien more butter was produced with the
use of cold water sixteen and one half
pounds less of milk was given than dur
ing the previous week when warm watec
was drank.
In the total results there is balance
in favor Of warm water there having
been forty-nve and a half pounds more
of milk prod ccd during the entire
period when warm water was given than
during the time cold water was drunk.
Tho balance in favor of warm water N
butter was ten ounces, which ind Gates a
greater relative gain in milk than in bua
ter. az drunk :,3I pounds more of
warm water than of cold. The results
are not a. pronounced in favor OF warm
wster as wa expected. The difference
is 30 slight as sea- cely to pay foI warm

JUDGE WILSON'S CANVASS.

WINoNA, Mimi, Sept. "a. Judge
Wilson is expected home from Wash
ington Oct. l, when he will Immediately
open an aggressive campaign throughout
the district. While the programme
for October has not yet been an
nounced, it is generally understood that
Judge Wilson will take the stump and
personally conduct a campaign
similar to the effort which was
crowned with such brilliant
victory two years ago. There are some
who have been disposed to find fault
with Judge Wilson for not leaving his
post of duty at Washington and coming
to Minnesota to look after his fences,
but the majority concede that he could
have made no wiser move than that of
attending to the business which the
voters of the First district sent him to
Washington to look after. Even though
Mr.. Dunnell has had months start of
him on the stump and the Republicans
thusiasm, Judge Wilson's magnetic
presence in the brief period intervening
before election will easily counter bal
ance any effect which the Republicans
have sought TO make upon the voters or
this district.

GOV. NILSSON, CNNEAss.

There is no mistake about the way
the tide of public sentiment is running,
so far as the gubernatorial canvass in
this state is concerned. It's strongly in
the direction of the Democratic candi-
date, and Enthusiastically so. The demon
stration at Albert Lea last Saturday
evening was only one of many instances
to show that EUGENE WILSON has a
strong hold upon the people, and that
the popular desire to make him the
next governor of the state extends be-
yOnd his own party. Nor is it strange
that it should be so. Mr.. WILSON'S
name is household word in Minnesota.
He is known to be man of unques-
toned ability, of patriotic impulses, and
a bright example of purity, both
in his private and public relations.
The people feel that with man of such
a refined sense of honor in the gov
ernOr'S chair, there could be no posi-
bility OF state affairs going wrong dur
ing his administration. With a man of
his brains and power of diScernment in
the executive office there would be no
danger of a measure similar to House
File l57 slipping through his hands
without discovering the wrong that was
being inflicted upon the state by the
passage of such bill. With man of
his courageous honesty for governor
the taxpayers would feel secure because
they would know that all these raids
upon the public treasury would be
stopped the moment that he assumed
the office of chief magistrate,
1t is no wonder, then, that Mr.. VIII
SONS candidacy has aroused such pop
ulaT enthusiasm throughout the state,
and he is received with the widest dem
onstratiOns wherever lie goes. Then,
again, the open, straightforward man
ner in which he discusses public issues,
and his willingness to go before the
people and give a personal answer to
any question that may be prOpOunded
TO him, cOmmends him to public favor:
and, more particularly so, as his OPP
ponent in the gubernatorial race makes
it point to keep himself from public
view. The candidate who is afraid to
show himself in the canvass is likely to
play concealed hand after he gets into
Office. At least. that is the view the
public take of it. And as long as Mr..
MERRIAM continues to secrete himself
behind his bank and allows Mr.. VIII
SON the field to himself. it must nat
urally be expected that the Democratic
candidate will grow in popularity.

tanned violence, and the neck, coming
in contact with the sharp edge of the
collar, was cut through, as if divided by
the blade of knife. On the assump-
ton that the man died from the effects
of the celluloid collar, we submit that
this theory is far the most probable one.
We all know what some collars are ca
pable of. Any one who has had the
misfortune to look upon dude, on
beautiful sunshiny day, arrayed in an
immaculate collar, which claSped his
neck like the embrace of supporting
cylinder on tube, and which threat
ened to cut through his chin at any in
advertent bend of his head, will not be
surprised at the deadly achievement OF
the celluloid collar on the Baltimore
man. We hold, therefore, that this in
cident has a higher and more provi-
dental significance than the mere sus-
pension of vitality in the Incorporate
sleeper. 1t was evidently designed as
a warning against the reckless habit
some young men have of encasing their
necks in machine that is liable at any
moment to shave eff their ears and alb
breyiate their chinS. There are posi-
lively some collars more dangerous than
the 'unlOaded" pistol, which has killed
so many people. or the buzz saw. with
which, time and again, men have monk
