Wearing Out Cows.

It is sometimes said that the COW is a
machine for the manufacture of milk and
butter. This is true, with some import
ant limitations. The COW is a living
mechanism, and therefore requires more
careful management than an insensate ma
chine could need. There is such a thing
as wearing out cows by injudicious feed
ing. Good COWS have enormous appe-
titles, and demand abundant and nutri-
tious food. But they should not be forced
or tempted to eat more than they natur-
ally will. While the coarser and less
palatable ration should be given freely,
yet grains and meal must be limited.
Some of the great milk and butter records
fol- short periods have been made by
stimulation with food, which for animals
is almost as destructive to health as st m,
ulation by drink is to Z Ell. The only
correct test of cows is their yearly pro-
duct. Another way in which good co WIS
are spoiled is by deficient nutrition dur
ing those times when they are not giving
milk. The owner thinks that less and
poorer feed will do them, and so the cow
while bearing her calf is fed largely on
straw and becomes poor. -American Cul-
tiUGtOr.

Apple Culture,

We know that IN the early settlement
OF the country to plant a fruit tree was
all there was to be sure of a'certain crop
of perfect, smooth, beautiful fruit, re-
marks the Farm and Garden. Varieties
that we cannot grow now, were then
very fine and abundant. Wormy fruit
was hardly known, and trees were long
lived, healthy and vigorous. Why is it
not SO now? Why is it so difficult to
grow fine fruit? Our land is richer. We
can grow better crops of grain, why not
of fruit? There is a reason for this, as
there is for other things. 1t cannot be
climate, for that is about the same as it
always was. The secret is insects.
They have multiplied and spread since
the early settlement of the country until
they infest every orchard and spread
ruin far and wide.
Some are busy at the roots, sapping
vitality from them; some at the trunk,
boring it full of holes; some at the bark,
living to destroy. The branches are full
of them. The leaves are infested and
eaten by multitUdes of them. The tree
survives their attacks, but does not
prosper. This is the cause of failure of
many orchards. We must combat them,
if we expect to grow fine fruit. We
have illustrated many of the most harm
full insects, and told u readers how to
subdue them. They who fight insects
most will grow the best fruits of all
kinds.

SPECULATIVE RAILROAD DIRECTORS.
Men who Have Contributed 20 Check
tho Buoyancy of tho Business World.


the Buoyancy of tho Business World.
No single cause has contributed more
largely TO check the feeling Of buoyancy
in the business world than the happen
ings in the management of n few large
railways during the past few months.
Complaints of the doings of speculative
boards of directors are not new. Yet
the public receives violent shock every
time when insiders are forced ultimately
to give an account of their stewardship,
and il becomes impossible to conceal that
| the finances of great corporations have
been allowed TO drift into frightful
condition. 1t is true that, in the ma
| iority of cases, suspicion rests on roads
whose mana gers are prominent in opera
tions in Wall street. who are liberal with
points" and are eager to parade in tho
newspapers and on the tape their strong
convictions of coming prosperity.
The country has witnessed the specta-
Gle Of men, high in standing in financial
circles, putting themselves on record in
| the mos5 unqualified way, when they
must have known that they were delib-
| crutcly dcceivng the public and their
friends. Striking instances of this kind
| have happened in the past six months.
| ncl ndNO uOue much TO unscille COlH-
| dcncc at time when the outlook seemed
! to warrant n bright future. Sharp prac-
| tice like this cannot be too vigorously
| condemned. 1t is only too often accom-
| panied by the cooking OF reports of earn
| ings and financial statements, and those
| who profit by stock operations during
| the period of conCcalmcnt, are only too
| apt TO aid the Generalization following
| the final revelation of the truth for sell
| fish purposes.
Another class OF directors are those
who automatically handle the property
committed to their charge with the best
| of motives. Long years of successful
management may have bred a confidence
and pride which ShrlnlSS from aclinowl-
edging an error of Judgment. Straining
wcll-carned confidence and credit to the
utmost to cover defeat, or to tide over
embarrassment, they are apt to surprise
| their friends and their enemies alike by
startling developments. The difficulties
| into which one prominent system has
been plunged lately will illustrate the
dangers to investors and to the business
interests Of the country of such manage
ment. We attribute to such happenings
as these the halt noticed for some time
past in the rising tide of general pros
perity. They are incidents Which may
delay, but cannot in the long run ar
rest, the movement. In nearly all the
departments of the iron trade there is
a hopeful feeling which augurs well for
the future, in spite of the sct-baclls
which some of the developments i'll rail

WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 12, 1888.

THE DEMOCRATS will use every effort
10 prevent Republican majority in the
4 United States Senate. A Republican
Congress and Republican Senate means
four new Republican States and twelve
more Republican electoral votes. II is
now reported that Democratic move
ment is on foot in Delaware to contest
the election of A. B. Richardson, the
Kent County Republican State Senator
elect. On the face of the returns Mr..
Richardson has a plurality of l33 over
his Democratic competitor, Daniel NJ.
Ridgely. Such a contest would be
passed on by the Democratic State SEN
ate. The grounds laid are three-the
holding of election in districts where
there were no Democratic judges at the
polls, fraudulent votes and alleged H.
legality of the Salisbury Republican
combination ballots. Stress Is laid on
the latter ground. The uniform ballot
law requires the heading to harmonize
with the body of tickets. The combina-
ton tickets were headed Democratic,
but majority of the candidates thereon
were Republicans. Protest was entered
against them and against the ostracism
of Democratic election officers before
and while the voting was in progress.
The effect of the unseating of Richardson
and the seating of Ridgely would be tc
make the Legislature tie on joint ballot
and prevent the election by it of q United
States Senator thereby eventually plac
ing the appointment Of Senator Sauls
bury's successor in the hands of the
Governor, who would, of course, name
Democrat.

THE ANARCHIST celebration in Chi
cago yesterday was as mild as the bus-

There was so much talk before the affair
that the police intimated in a friendly
way that silence was golden and the Reds
took the suggestion under consideration.
They remembered at the same time that
they were about to celebrate an occasion
in the life of some of their leaders which
possibly might result to them if they were
rash of speech or action, and they wisely
concluded that discretion was the
better part of valor. AS a rule we

well one year ago in Chicago, and the
memory is still fresh. With those events
still clear before police and Anarchist, it
was not surprising that the celebration
yesterday was very mild one; that the
crowd was calm and the utterances OF
the speakers exceedingly lamb-like, and
that there was no dynamite bombs visi.
