THE DAIRYMAN.


A DAIRYMAN says he invariably cures
caked udder by thoroughly and carefully
rubbing it with mixture composed of
two ounces of pulverized iodide of po-
tassa and two ounces of lard.
To SELL the milk ola Jersey or Guern-
sey to a multiplying cheese factory would
be financial suicide, Or to keep a
cheese-cow to send half pound of
butter fats per day to cream buying
factory is another folly.
EVERY COW has limit beyond which it
is not safe to try to force her, and in
finding out where this limit lies is op-
portunity for the use of the feeders
best powers of observation and good
judgment. In general the high bred
COW will stand more forcing than those
of common stock.
IN England the Shorthorns are re-
garded as excellent dairy cattle, followed
by the Ayrshires. In Ireland the Kerry
cow is the favorite, while in this country
the Holstein is considered the heaviest
mixer. The Jersey and Guernsey cattle
are regarded as superior butter pro-
ducers in America and Europe, the
Devons make the best oxen, and the
Herfords, Shorthorns, Angus. and Gal
loways the best and greatest proportion
of beef.
If the buttermilk would thoroughly

them the highest prices going, his but
ter must not only be of good quality but
uniformly good. It will not do to fur

twelve, or even one week out of the
ffty-two. When butter is so evenly su-
perior that customers are able to detect
no appreciate variation in it the maker
should be getting fine price.

Gov. Morehouse Commutes the Long Sen
tence of Bill" Ryan.
Jefferson City Mo.) dispatch]
Bill" Ryan, the train-robber, has been
granted communication of his tWentv-fiv
years term by Gov. Morehouse. The Gov
ernor's reasons for granting the commuta-
ton are:
William or Bill Ryan was member of what
was known as the James gang He was but a
boy, and came OF an honorable and respected
family OF jackson CCunty. He was no doubt
guilty OF violations of the law, but from state e.
ments in the petition submitted and from other
information | believe he was the least guilty
member OF the band. man who was mucn
de per stepped in crime and who was more
guilty on these specific charges was pardoned
out o; the pententiary to convict him. and he
has been punished more than any member of
the gang. Justice, therefore, demands that he
should receive this clemency"
Ryan has been confined in the peniten-
tiary since Oct. 16. 1881. He was convicted
of completely in the Blue Cut train robbery
on the Chicago and Alton Railroad in 1881.
The testimony on which he was convicted
was given by Tucker Bashan, Il member of
the james gang, who was pardoned out of
the penitentiary by Gov. Crittenden in
order to secure the conviction of Ryan
Ryan's conduct as a prisoner has been ex-
celent. For some time after his incarcera-
ton he did clerical work Tor one of the shoe
companies, but was afterward transferred
to the cell buildings. ofwhich he had charge.
Ryan will be Il free man April Is, 1889.

Agricultural Notes.

The best tool a farmer has is his brain.
TAKE time to read and study about
your work and you will accomplish
more.
ONE advantage in keeping careful
farm accounts is that they enable YOU to
determine what products of the farm
are profitable and which are not.
A CROP ofcolts, q crop of early lambs,
plenty of the best butter from each COW,
and lots of pigs to sell is good foun-
dation for successful farming.
NEVER too old to learn" is very APP
plicable to the farmer, for in no other call
ing does a man have such opportunity
to learn from mature, the best educator
of all.
FARMER fathers, give your boys and
girls such instruction that they will be
leaders and bulwarks against evil in all
its forms, whether they go into the city
OF stay ON the farm.
AN exchange tells us farmer of Ian
caster County, Nebraska, has an ear of
corn which weighs one pound nine and
one-half ounces, but does not give the
weight of the cob. Some very large
cobs have very little corn on them.
THERE are farmers in almost every
community who do not seem to realize
that this is an age of progress, and that
If they are to hold their places or go
forward, they must be alive, and keeenly
alive, to the times in which they live.
WANT of forethought among many
farmers, is the main reason for their
failure to acquire a competency. They
buy more land than they can use, often
times with borrowed capital, and can lily
afford to pay interest and taxes on that
which brings no income.
THERE are questions of general inter-
est occurring every day on the farm, in
the solution of which most farmers will
secure some aid, if they will attend the
Institutes held in their county or dis
trict. If there are none to be held
agitate the matter till you get one.
ALL farming is in one sense a con-
tinuous, never-ending round of sowing,
cultivating, reaping, just as the year is
ever spring, summer, fall and winter.
And yet who ever saw two seasons alike,
or the cultivating of the soil that ought
to have been the same? We must study
our work if we are going to max sue
cess of it.
LUTHER BURBANK, the originator of
the Burbank seeding potato, once said,
When [ was in Massachusetts made
money raising sweet corn and cabbages."
In regard to the latter he remarked.
My neighbors in the fall hunted for a
market for their cabbages at one half
cent per pound, and the marketmen ran
after me in the following May and June
to buy mine at cents per pound" Do
you seethe point?
II you are going to build any new
buildings on the farm, first think we'll
over the object for which they are to be
used before you decide upon their loca-
tion. new ice-house should be located
inthe shade of a tree, if possible, and
in a northern exposure, while the cow
house or hen-house should have just the
opposite position. Especially should
the hen house be located on sunny
exposure. Always consider these things
in locating building, on the farm, giving
preference to the most important, but
neglecting none.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Founders Have Determined to Re-
turn to the Original Principles.
Philadelphia pa telegram


The following telegram has been issued:
To the members of the Knights of Labor
Greeting: In behalf of he toiling millions of
the earth, We the surviving founders of the Sc
cret order of Knights of Labor, have, after sew
era secret meetings in the city OF Philadelphia
and after due deliberaioll and Investigation into
the present autocratic form of government,
found that the present order of knights of La
Dor has departed or diverged from The original
designs when organized in 1869, to the destruc-
ton OF the principles of self-government lying
at the base OF American institutions. AS the
order OF the knights of Labor was founded for
the purpose of abolishing poverty by securing
to the laborer the fruits of his toll aid as We
the original founders of the Knights of Labor
who handed to the officers and the membership
the principles of the organization, have found
after lapse OF nearly twenty years
that the officers of the organization
have departed from the principles transferred
to them, and being determined to return
to the original text, we extend tho hand
of fraternity to all those who believe ins the
principles formerly promulgated, 10 wit: Sc
crecy obedience, mutual assistance, and the
placing of industry on q scientific basis We
have resolved TO eliminate all opposition detri-
mental to the principles and progress of the
Knights OF Labor as the founders intended. In
making this known through the public press,
we DO SO to notify those q, u distance, and this
must be as reply to many letters received on
the subject.
AS in 1869, numbers for assemblies will be
given from Philadelphia, Pa, until sufficient
number have been formed to call q joint conyen-
tion for the good of the order.
Those desiring to be with US will address box
1874, Philadelphia, Pa. All communicat ons will
receive prompt reply, and all necessary matter
will be furnished to carry on the needed work.
In conclusion we desire to say that believing we
are doing right in issuing the foregoing, as we
did when promulgating the principles of the
knights of Labor nearly twenty years ago, we
have nnitedly affixed our names.

A DOUBLE-HEARTED NEGRO.
MedicOs Surprised by aR Examination of a
New Jersey CoIored Man.
Trenton IN J. disnateh1

The Mercer County Medical Society has
devoted much time to the examination of
William King. a colorcd man who is said to
have two hearts. He is about 45 years of
age. The examination proved that he has
a divided heart, such as is found
in the lower animal kingdom. The heart
beats perceptibly on both sides. King claims
to be able to drop his ribs like a set of
double action window blinds. but this was
done. it was detected, by his control of
certain muscles. He claimed that he could
change the locality of his double heart, but
this was pronounced a piece of jugglery,
the result of long practice. He caused his
hearts. pulse, and temp pies to cease beating
for period of sixty seconds, and the ply
slcianS pronounced it a successful effort.

THE BEE-KEEPER.
Advantages of Small Apiaries.

advantages Oh small Ap1arl0S.
Unless extra care and attention to de-
tails is given, a large business of any
kind is not SO successful in proportion
to it's size as small one. This applies
as truly to the honey business as to
others. Among those who are largely
engaged in the apiary business there are
those who advocate placing the bees in
small apiaries, and give good reasons
for it, Christian Weckesser, of Mar
shallville, Ohio, is one of them. This is
what he says of it:
This season has put an additional
impetus to my Impressions that it is we'll
to have the bees in small apiaries Of
twenty to thirty colonies, one Or two
miles apart, where practical, unless the
location is we'll stocked. My home
apiary of sixty to seventy colonies this
year gave no surplus. and were consid-
erably short of sufficient winter stores;
while small out-apiary OF twelve colo
MES gave almost enough surplus to sup
Fly the deficiency of those at home; and,
besides, they are in better condition for
winter, and did not needas much atten-
ton In a good honey season, this ar
troublesome; but the feature of being
almost sure that they VIII DE IN good
condition for winter, without feeding,
even if the season is poor, will offset
considerably more trouble in a good
season, while, if things are properly ar
ranged. this additional trouble can un-
doubtedly be reduced to minimum, es-
pecialiy if the bees are run principally
for extracted honey; in which case, if
Simplicity hives are used, and TERED up
with sufficient empty combs, at the be-
ginning of the season, little attention
need be given nor approximations Of
swarming entertained until, when the
season is ended and the honey is sure to
be we'll ripened, it can be extracted.

until the second season, it will do no

his Theoretically sealed beer brewery,
which runs only when the King is look
ing on, to prevent the sly introduction
of poison, will regret TO learn that after
counting the cost he has decided that
he cannot afford to go to the Paris Ex-

fact while ago at banquet he gave to
some French officers. King Dinah once
invited n rival chief 10 dine with him.
He prepared for his guest by digging a
deep pit beside the festive board, con
cealing it with branches and little
earth, and placing thereon the chair of
honor which his guest was to oc upy.
1t was thought that after the rival chief
had tumbled into the pit it would be n

victim, aud on the appointed day he
had pressing engagement elsewhere.

The Human Heart.

That In many cases tho heart NAV
be strengthened by proper Hhygicnio
measures and medical treatment is q
question. In regard to this there is no
doubt. Systematic but moderate exer-
else, which. strengthening tho other
muscles of the body, also strengthens
the heart, Is probably the most yalu-
able of all tho means to be adopted,
and of this, climbing heights should be
q prominent feature. A person unac-
customed to this kind of physical exer-
ton should, of course, proceed very
carefully, and under tho direction of a
physician, till the body has become
habituated to the work. Tho food
should be of the most nutritious char
acter, not over stimulating. and espe-
oially not excessive in quantity.
Tobacco, if used at all, should be
used in moderation, for it is very GER
tain that inordinate indulgence in this
direction weakens tho heart. The like
is true of alcoholic drinks of all kinds.
The mode of life should be such ms to
initiate against the accumulation of fat
IN tho body. The heart of man weigh
ing 100 pounds, for instance, may DO
strong enough for all thu purposes of
life; but If he makes his body weigh
200 pounds the proper proportion is de-
stroyed and the heart is relatively weak,
1t is just ms easy to mako tho heart
strong rs it is to strengthen the mus
oles of tho arms or legs. And if proper
views on this subject can DO caused to
prevail, and be carried out in practice.
we shall hear less of weak heart and
heart failure. A person will then DO

ho has TO ascend to tho seventh or eighth

dulgo in fit of anger, if SO disposed,
without running the risk of dropping

Uses for Stale Bread.

The housekeeper need never fear the
accumulation of stale bread if she will
only take care Of It in time. Every day
the bits left from meals aud the dry ends
of the loaf can be dried hard in the
oven and then put away in paper bags
If time allows pare off the crusts and
dry separately to add to soups. This
dried bread will keep for weeks or
months-it must simply be kept clean
and dry. In any recipe where bread
crumbs are called for, as in bread pud.
ding or bread omelet, use this dried
bread, laying it first in cold water till it
is soft and then pressing it dry in a
towel aud crumbing it lightly with the
hand. = IYdshington Star.
