REPRESENTATIVE WOODWARD has in
troduced into the New Hampshire legis-
lature bill authorizing the governor
and council to appoint person to col
lect information in regard to the oppor-
tunities for developing the agricultural
resources of the state by immigration,
and cause the facts obtained and other
kindred information to be published
and circulated under the direction of
the governor and council. The annual
appropriation for this purpose is not to
exceed 50 800. This movement is the
result of the agitation of the subject of
s. deserted farms " in the state, and has
the hearty approval of the New Hamp-
shire Board of Agriculture, whose Sec
rotary, Hon. n. j. Batchelder, is
especially active in the matter, the Pat
rons of Husbandry and leading agri-
culturalists throughout the state.

The Saloon in Politics.

THESE are the majorities against
state prohibition recorded in the past
two years: Michigan, 5,645; New
Hampshire, 5000; West Virginia,
1854; Texas, 2,961; Rhode Island !,
1886; Oregon, 1885; Tennessee, 27,-

vania, 100000. This is total of
S,006. The whole vote of the states
is about 100000 On full vote the
adverse majority would have been not
less than 100000. On this basis it APP
pears that fifteen out of every twenty
five voters are satisfied that prohibition
is not an effective temperance measure.

Mrs. RUTHERFORD b. HAYES, wife
of ex-President Hayes, died at her
home in Fremont, Ohio, Tuesday
morning, June %. She had been
stricken with apoplexy the Friday be-
fore, and had not even recovered con-
seriousness. Her death will be deeply
felt, both by the bereaved family and
by wide circle of friends and the be-
nevolent organizations of which she
was a prominent member. Her good
works have won for her universal re-
spect and love. Whether in the home
circle or as nurse to the wounded SOL
diers, or as lady of the White House,
she always exhibited those traits of
character which mark the true woman.

Two prospective royal marriages are
announced which are suggestive of the
changing political conditions of Eng
land. Albert Victor, more commonly
called Prince Edward, eldest son of the
Prince of Wales, is to marry his cousin,
Victoria of Prussia. Usually on such
occasions parliament is asked for lib
eral money grant. The youths grand
mother apparently does not like to ven
ture on this course in the present
condition of the public temper, and
announces that she will furnish the
bridegroom with marriage settlement
from her own purse. Meanwhile the
princes sister, Louise, is to be married
to a subject, the Earl of Fife, a per-
sonal friend of her fathers. The match
is said to be a love one. We trust ii
may turn out more happily than that OF
the Marquis of Lorne with the girls
aunt, whose name she bears. The ETH
quette of courts is very strict, and ii
must be annoying for husband to be
unable to walk with, or sit by, his wife
on state occasions.

THE Free Press alter ego, the st.
Johnsbury Republican, publishes a
column article, ostensibly to assure the
public that Senator Edmunds still has
a firm tenure of the suffrages of the
people of Vermont, and is solid for the
United States senatorship so long as it
shall be in his power or pleasure to
serve his state and the country at large
in that office. The st. Johnsbury ora
Gle is led to make its deliverances by
certain silly season carnations in the
NeD York Sun respecting Vermont
offices and politics. The real purpose
of the Republican, as appears from the
context, was to compliment Colonel
Benedict, to defend his selection by the
Vermont delegation for the Office of
collector of the Vermont customs dis
trict, and to give the Burlington edition
of the paper an opportunity to copy
which it did.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1889.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has appointed
William Walter Phelps of New Jersey
to be minister to the German court.
Mr.. Phelps has been active in political
circles for some years, having repre-
scented the fifth district of New Jersey
in congress two successive terms. He
was also one of the three commission
ers named by the president last March
to adjust with the German government
the complications in reference to the
Samoan Islands. His appointment
probably results from his success in
that commission.

THE trustees of the state insane
asylum, located at Waterbury last
winter, have bought the farm of G. G.
Warren, for which the state pays $751;
600. The farm contains over four
hundred acres, divided in proper pro-
portion into tillage, pasture and wood
land. Mr.. Warren has brought the
farm into high state of cultivation.
Probably there is no farmland in Yer
mont in better state of cultivation,
and very little so good, even among
the " fancy farmers" The pasture
sustains one hundred fifty cows. 1t is
an excellent bargain for the state, and
the farm is well adapted to the require
ments of the institution.

FAILURES IN DAlRy,NG.
In Order to Avoid Them Raise Cows u
st.nd Of Huyings

In Order to Avoid Them Raise Cows In.
stead of Buying
Whatever may be written III favor OF
preventing failure in dairying. the
greatest mistake made by dairymen is
that Of buying their fresh cows instead
OF raising them on the farm. The dairy
man does not wait as patiently for the
calf to grow as he does for his crops t.
mature. and when choice COW be-
comes dry she is sent to the shambles.
and new one, fresh with calf by
her side. is procured rs a substitute.
The yearly introduction OF cows into
the herd from other localities has
brought disease also, although each
animal may have been apparently In
excellent health when purchased II
Is safe to assert that no dairyman has
ever been cursed with that seourge-
abortion--in his herd il he has not
bought cows from other points. Where
the COWS have been raised on the farm
they have been bred from selected
stock. not only for yield OF milk and
butter. but also for hardness aud free
dom from disease. but when a cow l.
brought from another point TO be added
10 the herd the only quality required
Is that she is fresh. and Recently
cnlved. II Is well known that the most
expert dairyman will fall In his judg-
ment Of the milk and butter qualities
of COW until he has tested her at the
pail, and there Il always more or less
risk OF procuring a very undesirable
animal.
Ii requires two or three years 10 pro.
cure a fresh COW by breeding for her
on the farm. which prompts the dairy
man To buy his cows, but that IL is more
economical to raise them is easily de-
monstrated, pro, ided the stock Is grad
ed up 10 a higher standard OF excellence
by the use OF thoroughbred males. The
greatest loss OF time is during the
period OF growth, but after the heifer
comes Ia she will, In short time, not
only give IA quantity Of milk and butter
equal to the animal that preceded her,
but will reimburse the dairyman foi
the time lost before she became re.
munerative. 1t Is not So much matter
Of feeding, although feeding is impor.
tant. rs IL Ia Ia secure the largest yield
possible. FER In dairying an extra quart
per DAY may turn n loss into a profit.
When the thrift of the flock is also
considered the home-bred COWS are
always in the majority.
As long as cows are purchased in.
stead of being bred no improvement is
possible. II is a good average II every
COW In herd will yield seven quarts
OF milk for every day in the year, and |
this average Is greatly lessened wher |
COWS are annually purchased to re |
place those that dry off, but the records |
OF somc OF the noted cows OF the pure |
breeds show TINT ii is impossible &c |
obtain over forty quarts of milk per |
day. while one COW is said to have !
produced nearly seven pounds Of butter |
per day Tor one week These facts de- |
moustrate that II the dairyman viii !
grade up his cows their yield OF milk |
may be greatly increased, and thai |
many OF the failures in dairying are |
due to the omission OF the dairyman To |
raise his own COWS. and TO raise them |
from his choicest animals. --Philadol. |
