The Profits Per Cow.

A good average dairy COW ought to
give at least four thousand pounds Of
milk in year, which should return the
farmer, whether sold or made into butter
and cheese. AT least cent a pound 50
that such COWS on9ht Ia bring in at least
$40 year per head. THIS Is the calcula-
tion of Hon. Josiah Shull, secretary of
New York State Dairymenis Association
This is probably close average estimate.
and yet. what a spectacle 1t presents
Here Is a farmer working hard over his
dairy the year around, and only getting
: 10 a year receipts for each COW. out Of
which hc has To pay the cost of their
Keep r. well As for his own labor. Con-
trast this experience with that Of the
patrons OF some of our New Englau
cream gathering Crcamcrles. For instance
George r. llumphrv, during the year
ended Oct ~ lses, sold to the Highland
Ct creamery 81 .OGi worth of cream,
and also received 81 for the skim milk
sold NJ his door. He thus received over
81 500 in one year from his thirteen COWS
annually. More than tins, he received
divided of five per cent for the stock he
held in the creamery. if he was stock
holder, and none of the work or worry Of
making butter at home or marketing II.
1t j. true that comparatively few farmers

Cremated in His Burning Barn.

About 5 o'clock, Thursday morning,
the cry Of fire broke the stiffness u
the morning air. and people rushed
frantica.ly about endeavoring to dis
cover the right location Of the disas-
trous flames. The fire was at last
located in the barn Of MIR. Michael
Clary. ST., in the north western por-
ton OF town. 1t appears that the old
gentleman arose, az was his usual
custom, at about half-past four OF
five. and with light proceeded to
the barn to do his milking. BY 50 lie
means, which undoubtedly will never
be known. the hay became ignited,
and before Mr.. Clary realized the
fact, the barn was wrapped in flames.
When assistaI G, arrived, and the fire
which had consumed nearly the whole
building, was got under control,
nothing but the charred ard black.
ened body remained to tell the terri
BILE tale. Mr.. Clary was about II
years of age, and leaves an aged wife
three SONS, and two daughters to
mourn his terrible and checking
death. -ILawler Dispatch.

The Republican party for more
than thirty years have used the tenn
perance question simply to obt lin
votes. In political storm they have
used it az Il whaler uses tub when
pursued by harpooned whale, to
divert attention. Four years before
the birth Of the republican party, the
democrats Of Iowa had embodied III
the law Of the state declaration
THAT the people of Iowa will henc-
forth take no share in the retail of
intoxicating liquors" Dram shops
were declared a public nuisance and
municipalities We're prohibited from
licensing the traffic. This law NAV
be found in the Code of Iowa of 1851,
chapter 55. The constitutionality OF
the law was affirmed by democratic
Supreme court. AGditie n Il 3 ;slation
ton making them more stringent was
passed by the same party, submitted
to q vote Of the people and sustained
by popular vote of the people Il
Iowa, before the republican party
had an existence.
In 1854, the republican party under
the leadership Of james w. Grimes,
carried the state the first election az.
ter the organization of the party.
The state contained a large German
vote, and the republican party had
barely carried the election in 1854
but II 1t could win the German vote
1t would be invincible, SO it amended
the law passed by the democrats az
follows:
wherever the words intoxicating
liquors occur in this chapter the same
shall be construed to mean alcohol
and all spirituous and vinous liquor.
provided; that nothing herein CON
tanned shall be SO construed as to for
Did the manufacture and sale Of beer
cider from apples, or wine from
grapes, currants or other fruits grown
in this state
