cows-that has been dcmonst rated in
every locality where darving has been
Systematically and sensibly carried ON.
In fact there is no other class of stock
which pays the New England farmer
any better at the present time than the
well bred and wellfcd dairy COW. Some
farmers we know OF bcguilr themselves
into the belief that they are making
money ia keeping ordinary cows as they
pick them up from the discarded dairy
stock their more careful negibors turn
off. 1t may he they do: hui why be con
tent to feed the forage Of the farm, and
pay interest on the equipments. and
perform the labor in carving dairy
stock that will pay only ~ per cent
on the investment when it is rs easy to
earn 100 per cent? This Is what many
COW owners are doing going it blind. p"

dollar for an old one and the owner has

that: earn their owner -, 50 or - per

CARD SUGGESTIONS.

aere is the old provsrb, Lucky at cards,
unlucky at love"
Never throw pack Of cards at any one,
IS the act will bring all kinds of bad luck
to the person struck.
The partners in = game of cards who have
the grain Of the table running between
them are supposed to be helped thereby.
If you arc card player, and not having
II table in your room, start to play cards on
the bed, then beware, for this is an act sl:ie
to bring misfortuncy innumerable.
When you have pack Of cards which
have seen their best days do not commit the
mprudence of giving them away. 1t is
also bad luck The proper plan is to burn
them, and preferably with pepper and salt.
One Of the most common superstitions is
that where card player, who is not having
good luck. gets up and solemnly walks
around his chair three times in order to
propitiate fortune or the player will call
for new pack OF cards.-American Notes
and Queries.

Milk Legislation.

A writer in the August number of
Lippincott's Magazine In brief and not
altogether satisfactory article explains
how those States which were the pio-
neers in ;he most praiscw0rtliy effort of
creating legislation towards securing 4
healthful, pure, and nutritious supply
OF milk for family consumption in cities.
pissed laws which could not be we'll
executed. The object Of milk legisls-
ton WIS most eommendahle. II was
the preservation Of the public health and
the protection of those classes in the
large cities who. aside from such legis-
lation, would be unable 30 protect them
selves. But the States of Massachu-
sets, New York aud New Jersey, the
pioneers in this country in matters of
milk legislation based their legislation
upon wroag premises. and began with
, it ditticu't to carry out. The fundamen-
tai principle of this law was all milk
offered for sale should contain certain
percentage of solids or be con
demned as impure. But since the
enactment Of these laws it has been
found in accordance with results of ex-
periments that 10 the main the above
idea has been rejected by most legal and
scientific authorities AS unjust, and
not economic
Massachusetts, requires 10 per cent of
total solids in milk offered for sale; New
York II per cent of total solids 'sof which
three per cent mast he fat. ana New
Jersey requires II per cent of total solids.
But is has been demonstrated that il is
thoroughly inconsistent to har,nonixe
the physical properties of natural
product with its chemical constituents
Experiments also showed that there was
gross injustice in condemniag milk as
necessarily impure because its coastitu
ents did not reach a certain limit. Yet
