OUR COWS MILK.
How to Manage 1t Probably to the FarT
er,s Advantage.

er's Advantage.
The woman who sells the most milk
or butter is not always realizing the
most benefit from one COW, out rather
the one who secures the most nourish-
inc and palatable additions to the daily
fare. additions which take the place OF
desserts for which money must be pald
out.
A pint of milk, one egg. two table,
spoons Of sugar, one OF cocoanut, ana
tablespoon of -four, baked in one
crust till it creams, not curdles. Will
make delicious pie; but If you sell
that pint of milk for four cents, and In
its place purchase berries or some 9TH
err expensive dessert, the money will be
on the wrong side of the balance sheet
Nor is it policy to go to the other ex-
IRENE and try to use all the milk fresh

coffee are prepared.

A German Wedding Custom.

There is a curious custom of Ger
man tradition that still survives in
the German royal family, and in a
modified form will be commend
rated at the wedding Of the Empe-
ror's sister, the Princess Sophia,
and the Duke of Sparta, the heir to
the throne Of Greece, which takes
place next Monday. In olden times
the bridegroom's best man was
privileged to remove the brides
garter when she retired after the
wedding, and keep it as a trophy,
which was warranted to bring him
any amount of good fortune. A
Berlin jeweler has made six gold
garters set with diamonds to denote
the survival of this ancient custom.
The garters are all exactly alike.
Two of them will be worn by the
Princess on her wedding day, and
the other four will be presented to
the four best men at the ceremony
as mementoes. When the bride
takes off her gorgeous garters, she
will never again put them on, but
they will be sent to the Royal Mu-
scum at Berlin, to lie with the col
lection there of mementoes of other
Hohenzollern weddings.

Comparisons Not Always 0dioua.

The following is taken from an
editorial appearing in the Silve,
State, of late date, a paper pub
lished at Winnemucca, New. This
is a good nut for the whoop-up
Statesman to crack:
A manifesto issued by q committee
every member of which has political as
pirations in favor of statehood, is pub
lished in the Idaho papers, and no doubt
paid for by men who hope to 60 to the
United States Senate in the event OF the
admission of the territory. The first name
attached to the address is that Of Hon
w. H. Claggett, who figured prominently
in Nevada politics in early days, when
the same reasons were advanced in favor
of making state Of Nevada that are now
urged for the admission of Idaho. The
people of the territory are informed by
the authors of this manifesto that state
hood is the only panacea for the depres-
sion in silver mining caused by the in
famous demonstration act, and the stag
nation in agricultural and stock-raising
pursuits caused by the drought and low
prices. They coolly tell the taxpayers
and make figures to give color of truth
to the statement that statehood will save
$55, 900 annually to the taxpayers. That
assertion is made in the face Of the facts
that the number of judges and their sal
aries, as we'll as the legislative represen-
tation and compensation Of members, are
increased. The saving promised, but
never to he realized, by the taxpayers
under statehood, is to be made by paying
county officers fees instead of salaries.
If there is economy in that, it can be ac-
complished by act of the territorial leg
islaturc, just as we'll as by the state legis-
lature.
The people of Idaho should profit by
the experience Of Nevada, where office
seekers a quarter of century ago pro-
mulgated just such misleading statements
as they are now circulating in that terri
tory, and not assume the responsibilities
Of statehood, under the mistaken idea
that it will be less expensive than a ter
ritorial form of government. AS terri
tory, Nevada attracted the attention Of
the world and received favers at Wash
ington; as state, it was wholly ignored
by the administration, and Californian
appointed to collect the internal revenues
exacted from its citizens.
The KEYSTONE respectfully calls
the attention of its readers to the
last paragraph in the above article.
The objection that we have always
maintained since the question of
statehood was first started is that
Idaho is not at present prepared in
point of population and actual ma
terial resources to bear the burden
of increased taxation in order to
support state government. We
have no fears but that our asser-
tons will be fully sustained when
the census of 1890 is taken for the
Territory of Idaho.
