THE DAIRY.

DO not give any heating food to
cows two weeks before they come in.
The COW that can make gilt-edge
butter at the smallest cost is the best
COW.
III you have to buy some COW feed
try linseed meal. Get some for the
calves any way.
1t Is not the price Of tho butter that
determines the freight. So you need
not be afraid OF making it too fine and
high-priced.
breed is not a guaranty Of quality
the difference between two cows OF tho
same breed being frequently as great as
between the averages for different
breeds, even for those Of very unlike
average quality.
Butter readily absorbs odors, IS
other fats do, and it absorbs with them
from the atmosphere many other things
such as bacteria and fungi germs, and
1t is claimed that other diseases arc
transmissable in this way by butter
made or kept exposed in sick rooms.
In some dairies, says the Dairy
World, you can always tell when milk
ing-time comes by the barking Of the
dog, and the following from the boy:
Seek 'em Tige, go for EN-" Cows
chased and worried by dogs will not
give their usual quantity Of milk, and
am Of the opinion that the quality is in
jured to a certain extent.
The likes and dislikes Of cows are
almost as various as their color mark

feeder may. and generally will. prefer
rich and concentrated food. while the
voracious feeder is comparatively indif-
ferent as to the equality. provided there is
plenty OF it. The feeder must study his
cows and cater to their individualties.
Farmers can not hope for much sue.

immensely important, q contemporary
observes. A man who keeps cows at a

serves little pity when he complains
that farming don't pay" No business
can be expected to pay that is not caro-
fully looked after.
1t is not because there is too much
good butter that causes prices Of good
butter to be below what they should be,
but it Is because there is SO much in
ferior butter that is sold as good butter.
The supply of butter such as it is is
abundant. But the supply of good
butter is not equal to the demand. II
every consumer knew what good but
ter is. the price OF the best quality OF
butter would be better.-Western Rural.
Were we to plan to have our steers
ready for market at IA to l6 months,
weighing from 10 to - cwt. instead Of
keeping them until 30 to 36 months to
make them weigh 12 to Is cwt., our
profits would bo greater. We have
learned that the pig may be made profit
able If matured at eight months old,
but that he will run his owner in debt il

of early maturity hold good in beef
making. John A. Meyers, Direc.

1t was in that part of the hotel farthest
removed from the street that Mr.. Stan
ley took up his abode. Here he had a
fine suite of rooms on the ground floor,
very handsomely furnished in the ori-
entail style. A large, lofty reception
room and an equally large and hand
some dining room. In these he received
some of the most important or most per-
sistent of his many callers, but as rule
he shut himself up in his bedroom, and
there he wrote from early morning till
late at night, and woe betide any one
who ventured unasked into this sanctum.
He very rarely went out, even for
stroll round the garden.
His whole heart and soul were CEN
tered on his work. He had set himself
a certain task, and he had determined to
complete it to the exclusion of every
other object in life. He said Of himself:
81 have so many pages to write. Iknow
that if do not complete this work by
certain time, when other and imperative
duties are imposed upon me, shall
never complete it all. When my work
is accomplished, then will talk with

Or ride with you to your hearts content,

Recommend that the petition of P. S.
VenaDic, CT al. asking for the privilege
of erecting and maintaining a runway
olt of the river bed north of First-street

by the city engineer as will not result in
damage to the property and cost to the
city.
Recommend that the protest of Poin-
dexter Dunn ct al. against the opening
of Flower street from Twentieth to
Twenty-third streets be granted, as it
contains the signatures of the majority

Philadelphia intellectually.

Mr.. Spofford, librarian of congress, is
reported as saying that America has NOT
produced during the last twenty years
"a single author of great genius like
Nathaniel Hawthorne or Ralph Waldo
Emerson" This is quoted in a way to
lead unthinking people to suppose that
America is producing no eminent writ
ers. But ON closei Inspection it is found
that the statement is limited to authors
like" Hawthorne and Emerson. Even
with this limitation it is not unlikely the
statement is too broad, for here in the
single city of Philadelphia there has
been produced at least one author in
works of the imagination whose books
will live as long as Hawthorne's. This
is George Fl. Boxer. And in works of a
different but more scholarly character
the writings Of Henry Charles Lea,
based upon the patriotic literature of the
middle ages, will be likely to survive
when Hawthorne's are forgotten.-Phil-

Consu,nption In Beef.

Phthisis, or pulmonary consumption,
causes more deaths than any other dis
ease, more than many other serious dis
eases combined. Beside the list of its
victims the ravages of such dreaded
plaques as cholera, smallpox and yellow
fever pale into comparative insignifi-
canoe.
If phthisis could be eliminated as a
factor in the destruction of human life
the mortality tables of the life insurance
companies would have to be reconstruct
ed, and certainly everything going to
throw light upon the cause of this malady
or the means of its prevention is of in
terest from an insurance standpoint.
Therefore statement recently made
by Professor Behrend, the eminent En-
glish medical authority, who anticipated
the famous discovery of Koch, is of no
little Importance.
He says that in the course of prac-
tice of thirty years, largely among He
brew patients, he has not met a single
case of phthisis in the members of that
faith. He attributes their immunity to
uue JEWISH HlellOu VI eAdlliLlllS dlu
slaughtering cattle.
OF course it is not asserted that the
Hebrews never suffer from phthisis, but
Professor Behrend's experience would
seem to indicate that the disease is far
less common among them than among
the general population.
1t is known that Hebrews are, as a
race, long lived, and investigation may
show that their strict sanitary dietary
customs protect them from many dan
gers to which other races are exposed.
The germs of phthisis as well as of other
diseases have been found in abundance
in unhealthy animals, and it is alto
gether in accord with the latest scientific
doctrines that such diseases should be
communicated to man by eating the
flesh of diseased animals. The whole
subject deserves and will yet receive
thorough investigation. - Philadelphia
