Easier Said Than Done.
Boston Globe

The thing to be done to solve the labor
problem is SO to increase the opportunities
for employment or self-employment that the
margin OF unemployed will disappear. Then
there will be no difficulty in raising wages;
in fact, all the kings horses and the kings
men couldn't keep wages from rising under
those circumstances There is no natural
reason why the general rate of wages should
not be much higher than it is now, because
never in the history Of the world was the
productlveness of labor SO great in proper
ton to the number of laborers.

THE government does not propose to
be bluffed by the Cherokee Cattle COM
pany in its purpose to open the Cher
okee strip for settlement. The cattle
company's proposition to lease these
lands for a period of fifteen years at a
price almost equal to that which the
government proposes TO pay for their
purchase is looked upon by the secre-
tary of the interior as a scheme to en-
barass the commission o o TO treat
with the Indians. Powerful as the
Cherokee cattle syndicate may be, it
must stand aside when the interests OF
the government demand the opening OF
the strip to homesteaders.

The Highest Privilege and Truest Enjoy
m"nt of = True Man.
Most well-disposed persons think
their time ought to be fairly divided
between duties and pleasures, and
their chief trouble of conscience is as
to the proper proportion Of time to be
assigned in the one direction or in the
other. When a plain duty presses
them, they are ready to attend to it;
but when they have the privilege of
enjoying themselves, they want to
leave all thought of duty out of their
minds. Yet as a matter of simple
truth, ones greatest pleasure ought
to be found in duty-doing; and ones
pleasure ought never to be- sought, or
ones enjoyment to be found, outside OF
the plain path of duty. There is
in fact, no .truer enjoyment to true
nan than in the performance of an
unmistakable duty; and there is no
privilege SO high as that of attending
at the moment to that which ought to
be attended to juss then. Recreation,
relaxation and diversion may be the
supreme duty of the hour, apd when
this is the case they ought to be at,
tended to accordingly. And again the
straining of every nerve in the doing
or the enduring for some earthly loved
one, or for the One who is to be loved
above all, ought to be a pleasure. be.
cause it is duty. He who does not
enjoy duty-doing does not know how. tc
enjoy himself in any way, or how to dc
duty under any circumstances. IS. s..

WARMING THE WATER.
A Pot Theory of Dairy Writers Weakened
by Carefully-Made Tests.

A Pot Theory of Dairy Writers Weakened
by Carefully-Made Tests.
A test was made during the winter
of 1898 at the experimental station
of the Agricultural College of Mich
igan, for the purpose of determining
how milk and butter products would
be effected by warming the water
drunk by dairy COWS. The Holstein
COW Mac was chosen for the test, which
begun January 10, 1888. and lasted
eight weeks. For the first month the
COW was fed bran, cnsilage and corn
stalks. Half the amount of bran and
ensilage fed daily was given in the
morning and the remainder at night.
The stalks were fed at noon. The
second month Mac WAS fed ensilage,
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 alter
nate week during the test, water
warmed to sixty deg. F. was given the
cow to drink. On tho second week
and alternating weeks cold water was
given her.
A study Of the tables 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 amount 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 slight bulance IN
favor of warm water during the entire
period. The week when more butter
was produced with the use of cold wa
ter 164 pounds less of milk was given
than during the previous week when
warm water was drunk. ..,-, =.
In the total results there is balance
in favor of warm water, there having
been '45a pounds more of milk pro.
duced during the entire period when
warm water was given than during the
time.col water was drunk. The hal.
ance In favor of warm water in butter
was 10 ounces, which indicates
greater relative gain In milk than in
butter. Mac drunk $50 pounds more
Of warm water than Of cold. The re-
suits are not as pronounced in favor Of
warm water as was expected. The
difference is} SO slight as scarcely tx
