Excessive Sailing.
Germantown pa } Telegraph.

singular fact was brought out at the
meeting of the Connecticut State Boord
of Agriculture. gentleman stated that
he gave his COWS a quantity of salt with
a view to Increasing the milk production,
as he had seen it stated that such would
be the result; he was quite marked, but
the singular feature of the trial was that
while the milk Yield was increased the
cream yield was prOportiDaSely decreased;
that is, the ratio of cream to the milk
was diminished as the quantity of milk
increased, and upon an abandonment of
sailing this ratio was restored.
This is a matter of some consequence
to dairymen who are interested only in
the produotion of milk, but where cream
is desired it seems that excessive sailing
acts against the production of cream.
DR.. Cressey stated that this was result
that might naturally be expected; that
the excess of salt prevented the active
development of the fat glObales, while
the mild secretion was actively going on.
Acce pting that explanation, while it
might be expected that the result lndi-
Gated would at first follow from a sudden
and rather violent change in the matter
of sailing, if the feed remained the same
and from which would be secreted
normal quantity of fatty substance, from
diminished activity at first it would be
reasonable TO suppose that after little
time the extent of the secretion would be
restored to IFS original state and the
cream produced to be brought to its uni
form ratio to the entire milk product.
1t is, in our mind, a more rational con-
clusion to come 20 attribute an increased
flow of milk because of an increased
amount of water drank, while the fatty
secretion remains constant, which i
case of COWS in prime condition is be
lieved to be rule. We should hardly be
be willing to believe that sailing fully
would have any very marked effect on the
cream.

And still the voice said, Write.
Through Ealing tears,
That blurred the page ana well-nigh hid the

The pen. 1t seemed that there was nothing

With many a name erased and line left out;
But twas my Own-my very Own-and all

A whfrlwind came-a tempest, fierce and

The ground; and then it passed and left me
there,
A broken. PROSTATE thing. And ere the surge

But Budd DOble, His Old Driver; Is Still Driv-
ing Fast Horses.
For years the glory of the best troSting
record fell to the honor of Flora TEN pie,
and she held it until Doble took it from
her with Dexter in 2:174. That was the
best time until Doble beat it with the
same horse, whose record he finally work
ed down to 2:l6. Subsequently he lower
ed that record with Goldsmith Maid, who
went the mile in 2:144. She remained
the queen of the turf until the advent of
St. Julien, who in turn went down before
Maud S., who has the present and best
trotting record ever made, 2:08M.
Dexter was 80 years old when he died.
Except as an advertisement he never was
of much use to Mr.. Bonner, who seldom
ventured to drive him. The proprietor
of the Ledger paid $35 900 for the horse,
but very soon afterward his record was
beaten. In temper Dexter was always
eccentric and vicious. The old horse will
be buried with honors at Tarrytown.

her six hundred convicts on ten year

A wholesale substitution of convict
labor for the labor of honest men
must drive honest labor and outside

sion of a statesman +? Republican
protcctionists in the north and east

growing Democrats of the west and
southwest demand the highest pos
sible protective duties on wool.
California Democrats and Repub-
licans want protected wool. and
free iron and steel and free
coal, &c. Pennsylvania Repubh-
cans and Democrats go mad at the
suggestion that the duty be remov-
ed from coal, steel and iron, though
they are willing that the tariff
should be taken of wool. Both
parties in Western Maryland want
coal and iron protected, while those
in Southern Maryland and the
Eastern Shore care only for protec-
ton to the oyster. The fact is that
few understand the far reaching
principles of protection and only
care to have tariff that applies to
their individual interests.
