Increasing Productiveness.

Pnllanepnla Record
That the farmer can, by judicious breed
ing. not only increase the capacity of his
cows. but also the quality of the milk, is q
fact that admits of no denial. The two OBJ
stacles now in the way of successful dairy
ing are abortion of the cows and the failure
of the dairyman to raise better stock than
he can buy. The destruction of the calves,
which is really wrong. at the age of two or
three days. is gradually undermining the
dairy business by compelling the farmer TO
purchase his dairy cows, which is simply
matter of chance. 50 far as the productive
capacity of the cows are concerned. and
subjectiug him to greater expense of labor,
shelter and cost of production, serious
drawbacks that are sure to bring evil re-
suits finally.
Where pasturage is good the calf will not
entail much expense after it is six months
old. The cost of the calf to that age will.
of course. depend largely upon the amount
of milk allowed it. an estimate of the costof
which will not exceed $40, when milk is
supplied at2 cents per quart. The calf will
come in at about two years of age. and be
then a producer. The total cost of the calf
to the age of two years will vary, but IT
fresh cows ldeducting the loss from the
sales of such cows when they are dry.
it is doubtful if the cost of the
calf will exceed the COST and value o +
the fresh cow: But farmers will not
admit that it is cheaper to raise
their cows, as they look more to the imme-
diate profits than to the future. If the
calf is to be retained. however. it should
be grade something better than its dam.
Unless the dalryman intends to grade up
his stock lie will conduct calf raising on
the chance system as mueh as when buying
cows. The object should be to improve the
stock for the purpose of increasing the Ca
pacity of the herd. In a large majority of
cases abortion in the herd (wbsGh is conta-
gious) is due to the purchase Of fresh cows,
which, unknown to the dairyman, come
from herds in which the difficulty exists.
and Introduce it among others. When the
dairyman decides to improve the capacity
of his heard he will need no urging to de-
stroy the scrub bull, which is as great a
curse to dairying as can exist.
1t is q good average if o COW produces
1900 quarts of milk In year, and at the
wholesale price of two cents (about what
the farmer gets the gross product is only
$40, and ont of this must como all the ex-
penses. capital invested and interests. the
manure only being extra. If the capacity
of each cow can be doubled. which is pOssi-
bic by raising the calves. there will be but
little additional expense for shelter and
labor. and the proportionate profit will be
greatly increased. TO raise calves, how
ever, without breeding for the kind desired,
and without proper selection. wonld not be
systematic, for it is fact often demon
strated that herd of well-bred dairy cows
will give q profit where loss only is en-
tailed from buying fresh cows to replace
those that dry Oft.

The Most Complete Newspaper
in all Departments in the
State of Indiana.

No newspaper in the West is moro
widely or more favorably known than
the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. By the
display of enterprise and strict attention
to the wants of the reading public, dur
ing the great campaign of 1888, it has
taken leading position among the most
prominent journals of the country, and
is certainly among the best. Among the
newspapers of the State it is pre-emi-
nently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the
way of State and local news. 1t circu-
lates largely in every county in Indiana,
and has correspondents in every town
and village OF Importance. Its market
reports are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense
are spared to make them accurate and
absolutely reliable. is the only news
paper In the State owning and publish
ing all the news furnished by the two
great press associations (the Western
Associated Press and the United Press).
in addition to which it furnishes an
abundance of special service from all
the principal cities of the country. 1t
has been, and will in future be, the aim
of the publishers to make the INDIANAP-
OILS JOURNAL perfect and complete
newspaper, deficient IN no department
or particular. The paper challenges
comparison with any of its contempo-
raries.
No Indiana reader, certainly no In
diana Republican, should be without the
Journal. While it is thoroughly and
soundly Republican in politics, devoted
to the interests of the Republican party,
the JOURNAL will not allow its news to
be colOred by partisan bias, but will
give the news of the day without fear or
favor.
Owing to the prominence of Indiana
in the national administration, the Jour-
NAL gives particular attention to Wash
ington news, which will be given far
more completely than ever before. For
this reason, if for no other, no Indiana
reader can afford to be without it for the
next four years.
In addition to its new features, the
JOURNAL regales its readers with tho
productions of some of the best known
literary men and women of the day.
Many of the most celebrated magazine
writers and authors are contributors to
itsliterary columns, making it paper for
he household and home circle. Spscial
arrangements have been made for feat
ures of this character, which will appear
in the JOURNAL during the coming year.
These appear most largely in the
SUNDAY JOURNAL, which is a special
edition, and can be subscribed for and
received exclusive of the DAILY
JOURNAL.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.

An or Week I'm Trade, with Few Fluctua-
tions I'm Values.
INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. L.
The volume of trade in the week closing
to-day was disappointing. the chief cause
doubtless being the mild weather and the
bad condition of the country roads. SO
much rain has fallen. Then, as usual, re-
tail merchants are cutting down their
stocks to minimum. and keep business
moving. The new year will doubtless i'm
prove matters. as the money market is easy
and business is on an unusually healthy
basis just now. What little business the
dry goods merchants and the boot and shoe
men now do before the close of the year
will be in the way of replenishing broken

Rooms that are much frequented, or
school rooms, often contain much carbonic
acid and corresponding impurities, causing
headache to those who remain long in them.
The inpurity may be ascertained with lime
water. Fill pint or quart bottle with
water. and empty it anywhere in the room
the air of which is to be examined The
bottle then becomes filed with that air.
Then put into il small spoonful of lime
water. and shake it. If the lime-water re-
mains clear OF colorless the air is good
enough to breathe. If. on the contrary, it
becomes milky. the air is impure, and is
unfit TO breathe. the room requiring airing
