A Gigantic Business.

| The gigantic proportions of the dairy
business of the country may be forcibly
understood by comparing it with some
other leading business. Take banking,
which is one of the most influential OF
those purely business interests of the
country, as an illustration. The aggre-
gate banking capital of the country foots
up nearly sci 100000. This seems large
amount, and the banking business eXerts
an important sway over the commercial
and business interests of our nation. But
the dairy business of the United States
represents IA capital nearly five times larg-
er than that of the banking business, or a
total of over $4,000. 000, 900. There are in
the United States twenty-One million
mich cows, with an aggregate milk pro
duction of 1850, 000, 900 gallons. OF this
ocean of milk 1000, 100000 gallons are
used for butter; 700,000,000 for cheese,
while !, 4s0, 100000 gallons are consumed
in pure state. The output OF
butter is about $50, 000, 900 lbs. annually.
and of cheese G,500,000 lbs. The annual
value of our dairy products is stated to be
nearly S500,0 900. or twenty millions of
dollars more than the value of the wheat
crop, and closely reaching the value of
mense herd of cows, l0O,OOO,000 acres of
pasture land alone is required, having a
value of $1,000, 100000.
These gigantic wholes are made up of
the small parasitic cows, the single
quarts of milk and pounds of butter and
cheese. Prof. Collier. the new director of
the New York Experiment Station, esti-
mates that the average COW of the State
of New York-one of the foremost of the
older dairy States of the nion-does not
exceed yield of 1870 pounds of butter a
wear, whereas it should not fall below an
average of 800 pounds. Regarding this
comparison as a true one, Prof. Collier says
the Station can do no better service to the
darvmen of the State than to unite with
feeding. individual variations and breed
characteristics, with the allied subjects,
which when better understood and prac-
ticed shall better enable the farmer to
raise the standard of the dairy bust
ness. and double the present amount
of the dairy products of the country.
And to double the above gigantic values
seems almost incomprehcnsible, but it is
going to be done, and for the future wants
of the population of the world must be
done, The experiment stations and in
telligent dairy farmers and to work to-
gether till it is accomplished.

Democrats and Temperance.
WATERyILLE, Me-, NJ

VAUDEVILLE, Me-, May %.
Mr. EDIToR-It is now positively known
just where the Democratic party OF this State
is on the subject of temperance. Before the
convention in your city, the 22d inst, the
Democratic party had been the boosted friends
of temperance and the trusted friends of the
third party ,Prohibitionists. Though many of
us knew both claims to be deceptive and
wholly unfounded, yet the party had never
shown its hand, it had never by resolution or
address thrown off the mask of its hypocrisy
Tuesday the State democratic convention, com
posed of delegates from the rank and hle OF
the party, supposed to be the very best repre-
sentatives of the party. elected
a committee on resolutions large
majority of which favored and did
incorporate into the party platform license
resolution and thus showed the true sentiment
of the party, license instead of prohibition.
The resolution voiced, so said one OF It's
friends, the opoinion of two-thlrds OF the
members of the convention. Nor DID the
matter end here. Mr.. l.. Nj. Staples IN his
speech advocating license, attacked pro-
hibition and the father of it, Gen. Neal
Dow, referring to him in most
disrespectful manner, his words bringing
down perfect storm of applause. Such
words and action shows too plainly the con
tempt of the Democrats for Gen. Dow and
the prohibitionists. Although the license
plank was, from policy, torn up, the party
has done what no true temperance man can
overlook or forget. 1t has displayed Its
hypocrisy, repudiated prohibition denounced
Neal Dow and declared itself a license party
which in view of our temperance legis-
lation, is a retrograding party, party march
ing backward instead of forward.

The Capitol Park Association is going to
nave Fourth of July celebration at any cost.
lhey are now making arrangements for an
interesting game of ball on that day. Now
while they will provide plenty of good amuse-
ment in the afternoon, what do the
merchants of the city propose to do in the
way of affording such attractions in the
forenoon that outsiders will be induced to
come early and spend the day with us doing
good amount of trading meanwhile? With
me citizens providing for the amusements of
iorenoon and perhaps evening, and the Park
association furnishing a good programme

'eciprocate and handsomely too. People OF

Most remarkable thing Transporting i'm this
country.

During the last eighteen months there has
been large excitement all over the country
over the Moxie Nerve Food plant discovered
in South America. Its intense power over
the liquor habit, drunkenness, and its being
made into a luscious beverage, frightened the
liquor dealers, but they soon found that they
could sell more of it, and make larger
profit on it, than on liquors, while it was
perfectly harmless and intensely popular. In
fact, its adoption to stop nervousness and re-
cover the effects of overwork on women,
while it made no morbid appetltes. nor lost
its effects from long use, more than food,
and its adaptation to all classes of the people,
and violating the caprices of no kind of con-
scientious scrupes, and the probability OF
superseding liquor drinking to so large an
extent, has won the support of the churches
temperance people, liquor dealers, womer
and drunkards alike. The sale is perfectly
enormous. may22awlwnr

New YORK, Sept. ia letter to the
Tribune from Havana with date of Sept.
8 gives particulars Of the recent cyclone.
For Is hours it ragged, causing fearful
to life and property throughout the is
land. 1t demolished the principal build
ings in the large cities and wiped out
whole towns on the seaboard. Water
flooded large districts of fertile land,
planted with sugar, tobacco fruita and veg
etables, destroying valuable machinery of
plantations and running crops. On the
seaboard heavy seas broke down the
wharves and occasioned great losses of
life to crews on board vessels in harber.
In some instances vessels were carried
half mile into the cities. Whole blocks
Of houses and trees were battered down
as the vessels cut passage through the
streets. Havana presents novel sight.
Its streets and public squares are piled
high with ruins Of demolished buildings
and debris Of every kind gives it the ap-
pearance Of a bombarded city. Many
streets In the northern part Of Havana are
submerged. The number Of lives lost
throughout the city and country Is vari-
ously estimated at from 500 to 1900. The
loss to crops, buildings and shipping
amounts to many millions. =
