THE POINTS OF A GOOD BUTTER COW.

THE POINTS OF \ GOOD BUTTER COW.
What are the fine points that make up
good creamery COW! is n question 1 am
asked to answer. | presume IL butter
COW is meant, rs the volume of cream
docs not determine the butter value.
Cream separated from milk by intense re-
frigeraiion or by the centrifugal machine
requires about one-third more in volume
to make pound of butter than cream
raised in silo pans ut q temperature of
sixty-two degrees, and yet either of the
other processes may produce more butter
from one hundred pounds of milk than a
silo pan.
A good butter COW should have long
lace, wide between the eyes, the eye alert
and expressive, and placed long way
between the horns. A COW with eyes
near the top of the head does not know
any more than man with eyes so placed.
She should have large muzzlc, slim
neck and yellow skin, especially inside
the ears; the breathing should be regular,
the back and abdomen strong, the uddcr
wide where it connects with the body,
the teats squarely placed, and the tail
slim. Over and above all these points,
she must have the dairy form. The points
at best are only indications. The desira-
BILE dairy form is always seen in the best
types of Jerseys, Guernseys, Ayreshires,
and Holsteins. The best beef is
presented in the Shorthorns, Here
fords and most of the polled breeds.
The intelligent dairyman, with knowl-
edge born OF experience, desire and capac.
ity for the business, never makes the mis-
take of choosing his COW with beef

A Mortified Frenchman.

It is very hard for foreigners to ap-
preciate the plain democracy of Amer
lean public gatherings. There is so
much frigid dignity about n foreign
dinner, for instance, that q foreigner
fails to appreciate the ease and good
fellowship of such occasions in America.
Max O'Rell details an occasion of this
sort with true foreigners horror:
Gentlemen" says the President, Il
have the honor to propose the first toast
of the evening. Let us fill our glasses
and drink to the honorable member of
Congress on my right. 1 doubt not
you will push your amiability and pa
tience so far as to listen to his speech in
respectful silence. He will be all the
more proud to have an audience to-
night, because, as we all know, when
the honorable member gets up to make
a speech at Washington, the benches
begin to empty by magic. Gentlemen,
give him q chance"
The Congressman takes the joke,
merrily, and thus commences his
speech:
"Gentlemen-Im mean members of the
Clover Club"
The members pocket the satire with
hearty laugh.
Presently comes the turn of the
second speaker.
This one speaks in a scarcely audible
voice.
"Raise your voice" cry the members.
II am sorry you cannot hear" qui-
etly answers the speaker; "come
nearer"
The cries of "louderl" continue.
"If 1 speak low, says the interrupted
man, at is in order to get down to your
level"
This convulsed the assembly with
laughter.
/ was aghast
Can it be possible, I thought, that
they will stand that? The joke may be
new and funny; but surely it is being
carried beyond the bounds. If such
things went on in France, one would
see duels going on in all the retired
spots of the neighborhood the next
morning.

Mntinn nt Rest

An exceedingly interesting illustra-
tion of the phenomenon of motion at
rest" has recently been exhibited be-
fore the Royal Institution, London, the
demonstration being so complete that
small type placed on disk, revolving
several thousand times minute, was
seen and read with entire distinctness.
The accomplishment of this unique re-
suit was brought about by means of
an electrical arrangement which caused
brilliant sparks to illuminate the print
at the exact instant only when the type
was vertical. But for the buzzing pro-
duced by the great velocity OF the
disk, the words would have been sup
posed to.be entirely at rest. This APP
plication of the electricity spark of
course gives ready means of observ-
ing any and all changes which may
take place in either matter or ma
chinery in rapid motion.

Julian Hawthorne on Marriage.

A friend recently asked Julian Haw-
thorne as to the current opinion that
literary marriages are rarely happy.
His answer is interesting; "My own
experience has been so fortunate that
am prepared to find it exceptional;
yet 1 am inclined to think that writers
are more apt to be happy in their mar
riages than persons of any other given
profession. They have the pleasures
of real life and the pleasures of the
Imagination both-the one supplement-
ing and alternating with the other"

An Alligator in a Tree.

John Wilson, living near Astor,
Fla, cut q big cypress tree in the
swamp north of town, and found there
in live alligator seven feet long. As
the opening in the tree was not half
large enough for the gator to get
through the presumption is that il
crawled in when quiteyoung and lived
on other animals and reptiles that
sought refuge in the same tree.

Too Much Dandelion.

California has a new grievance-the
dandelion. Some years ago it is said
that n citizen imported from the east the
seed of the old fashioned dandelion. He
wanted something to remind him of his
carly home. Like the man who i'm
ported the sparrow, he did worse than
he knew. The sparrow is everywhere,
so is the dandelion. The seed drifts in
the wind like hat of the thistle, the
down is built into the nests of birds, and
every seed which gets n Judgement on a
lawn or grass plot will, in due time, pro-
duco n million more. Now the solitary
dandelion is very attractive in bloom,
and hardly less so when after the bios
som the gauze globo appears, and a few
days afterward goes sailing off before the
wind like a small balloon. But the citi-
zen who is forced to dig up his lawn be-
cause q million dandelion roots have
strangled the grass win utter no bene-
diction over this rich golden blossom
