DAIRY DOTS.

The following dairy items are taken
from the columns of the Massachusetts
Ploughman:
MILK is an article whose merits and
peculiarities are little understood or
studied on thousands of farms. The
tons of poor butter made proves this.
The quarrels and squabbles of rival
breeders of fancy stock are beautiful to
see in case you "stan6 from under"
But they all have value If one looks at
it in the right way.
A TOWN where the farmers have no
creamery and don't want one is a good
town TO avoid when one wants farm
for homo. 1t is progressive farming
that is attractive-not farming of the
Abrahamic sort
THE details as to the feeding Of farm
animals should be the subject OF care
full study, and experiment (where ex-
pertinent is needed) on every farm.
Most feeding is the result of habit, and
IS followed as such without why or
wherefore in multitude of instances.
IT is not the cow whose milk gives
the most butter that is necessarily 1.-The
best butter cow" but rather the COW
who costs the least in proportion to the
yield. If to get certain yield of but
ter you must feed two or three times as
much in one case as in the other, the
cost becomes an important matter. In
comparing Jerseys and Holsteins this
matter is sometimes overlooked.
THE sale and breeding of very high
priced cattle is confined mainly to capi.
talists who manage farm as 'side
issue" and an amusement. The farmer
who lives by farming pure and simple
can not indulge in thousand-dollar cows
and bulls. And yet the study required
in the breeding of fancy stock has been
of great value to farming in general
and is not to be discouraged.
A BUTTER test relating to the weight
of salted and unsalted butter was lately
made at William Crozier's farm, North
port, N. Y. Three hundred pounds Of
milk from his registered Jerseys was
SGT, and yielded 1o5 pounds of cream.
This was churned twenty-thre minutes,
duly worked, and gave thirty-seven
pounds of unsalted butter. Then thirty
seven ounces of salt was added and
worked in, and the butter then weighed
twenty-three and one-half pounds AT
least that is the published statement

A Poverty.stricken Millionaire! !

This seems paradox, but 1t is ex-
planned by one Of New York's richest
men. "I don't count my wealth in
dollars" he said. "What are all my
possessions to me, since am victim
of consumption My doctor tells me
that / have but few months to live,
for the disease is incurable. 1 am poor
er than that beggar yonder." But"
interrupted the friend to whom he spoke,
consumption can be cured. If taken
in time, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will eradicate every vestige
of the disease from your system" I'll
try it," said the millionaire, and he did;
and to-day there is not healthier,
happier man to be found anywhere.
The "Discovery" strikes at the seat of
the complaint. Consumption is dis
ease of the blood-is nothing more nor
less than lung -scrofula-and' it must
and does yield to this wonderful remedy.
"Golden Medical Discovery" is not
only an acknowledged remedy for that
terribly fatal malady, when taken in
time and given fair trial, but also for
all forms of Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp
Diseases, as White Swellings, Fever
sores, Hip joint Disease, Salt rheum,
Tetter, Eczema, Boils, Carbuncles, Ery-
sipelas and kindred ailments.

ENGLISH SPARROWS.
Some Methods OF Destroying These Pes
tiferous Birds.

The United States Department of
Agriculture recommends the following
treatment: Dissolve arseniate of SOFA
in warm water, at the rate of an ounce
to pint; pour this upon as much wheat
as it will cover in o vessel which can be
closed 80 as to prevent evaporation, and
allow 1t to soak at least twenty-four
hours Dry the wheat so prepared, and
it is ready for use. Three kernels of
this will kill Winter is the best time
for operations. Other birds are then
absent, and sparrows are hungry,
alighting in fiocks in the streets after
passing teams and along railroad tracks,
where grain Is scattered from wagons
and cars. Here poison cd wheat may be
administered with wholesale destruo-
tion to them, and little danger of harm
to any thing else.
If IL is found that the birds are too
wary to take the poisoned grain at first,
they can be led up to it by feeding them
at the same hour of the day for few
days with sound grain as preliminary.
When they are used to it. and off their
guard, throw down little poisoned
wheat-not too much at once, but just
enough ior IheH W eaI oeioro 1hoy
have found out that there is any thing
wrong--for you can not catch them all
at tho one attempt BY this means
largo percentage is got rid of at ono
time. Then begin with the sound grain
again, and after two or three days use
moro poison. BY this means OF alter
mating non-poisoned grain with the
other article, sparrows may be killed
all through the winter months just az
fast az they come in from other places.

Plan for Good Though Inexpensive Icc-
House.
To cheaply build good ice-house for
Forty to fifty tons, make it high, SO that
out little roof is required. The founda-
lion should be three feet below the
surface to avoid frost. Two stories fif-
teen by sixteen is about right. Double
doors must extend TO the roof The
corner posts must be rabbeted as shown
to receive the matched board lining.
On the outside of these posts a light
frame should be covered with heavy
building paper two and one-half inches
from the lining and one and one-half to
two inches from the paper, the covering
should be nailed on lightly This work
leaves two dead air spaces between the
sunshine and the ice and no sawdust
packing will be needed. A ventilator
,n the shape OF blinded window should
be placed in both gables under the roof
and the best of drainage must be pro-
vided below.
In the cut the outer line shows the
covering; tho middle one the paper
lining; strips of plank are spiked over
the four-by-four posts to which to nail
the covering, and the inner line
Is the matched lining. OF course
the plan can be modified to suit circum-
stances, the main thing being to have

The Statue To Gen. Stark.

At the last session of the N. H. Legislature joint resolution was passed appropriating $12, ,000 for a statue to General John Stark, to the Governor and Council the power of selecting and locating it. Some time since the matter was referred to a sub-committe, con- sisting of Councillors Shirley and Churchill, who invited competitive proposals, with 8 model, from many of the best-known sculp- tors in the country. After carefully examin- ing the eleven models submitted, and hearing such of the competitors as desired to make statements, the Governor and Council this afternoon voted to accept the model and pro- posal of $S0O0 of the New England Granite Company, the statue to be ready for unveiling the first of next October. The design selected is portrait statue by Charles Conrads of Hartford, Conn.,, sculptor of the Nav Eng land Granite Company. It will be bron e, eight feet high, and rest upon pedestal of Concord granite, eight feet in height, making the statue stand sixteen feet above the ground. It represents the general wearing the full-dress uniform of major-general of the Continental Army, with side arms. He stands erect, his right hand in the breast of his coat, his hat under his left arm and his right foot slightly advanced. In faithfulness of features to the photograph from which it was copied the sculptor has been especially successful.

 The stories about the Czar's insanity are very circumstantial and receive no direct contradiction. Of course the Russian jcur- nals do not report them, as it would be as much as an editors liberty is worth to do so. It is highly probable that the young Czar who, when he came to the throne, was one of the strongest men in Europe, had presumed too much upon his strength. The constant use of champagne in the enormous quantities in which it is drank in Russia is enough to unsettle an, mans nerves. Add to this chloral, cigarettes of peculiarly enervating fear of death in it's most violent form, and the mystery is how the Czar has not become insane long ago.

NEW ENGLAND FARMS.
Railroad Discrimination in Favor of West
 ern Products.


 ern Products.
 Judging from the tone of some articles that have lately appeared, it would seem that the discussion that has been going on about the abandoned farms in some parts of New Eng land had given the writers the erroneous im- pression that agriculture was about to be abandoned altogether in New England. For long time to come yet there will be room in New England for some branches of farming, in spite of climate, soil and western competi- tion.
 The rapid settlement and development of the West have had much to do with the de- serted farms of Vermont and New Hams- shire. And the competition of the West, with its natural advantages, has been greatly strengthened by discriminating transporta- tion rates, for which railroad corporations are responsible. It Is said to cost no more to ship butter to Boston from Iowa than from Vermont. Cheap transportation from the West and high local rates on the railroads in New England have placed farmers there under great disadvantage. And this rail- road discrimination hurts the manufacturers as we'll as the farmers. Leading manufac- turers testify that high freight rates are in- turing the manufacturing interests of New England. The principal cause for the desert ed farm and the abandoned factory may be found in the arbitrary action of railroad cor poratiOns.
 Western competition affects all the eastern and middle states.
