To be sure there is less labor in pro-
ducing beef than in making "gilt-edge
butter" and less skill is required. 1t
easier to turn the calf to the COW to do
the milking than TO draw it from her by
hand, and one does not have to so care
fully guard against dirt and slovenli-
ness and strive for cleanliness in all the
manipulations required. But we Amer
leans as people are after the almighty
dollar as a general thing and do not
mind little extra labor and care pro-
viding it pays; and in entering into any
enterprise or in considering the under
taking of any business the first practi-
cal question is: Will it pay? and the
next is, or should be: How can we make
it pay best? How can we get the best
returns for the money we invest? And
this is right. If we decide to breed for
beef we want the breed that will make
the most pounds from q certain quantity
of feed; pay the best dividends on the
investment If we decide to manufact-
ure butter we want the best appliances,
and first of all the COW that naturally
produces the best quality and greatest
quantity for the food consumed, and
that beyond question is the Jersey, as
has been demonstrated time and again
so that it is now q conceded fact by
all well-posted men. Breeders Gazette

A PecniIarity OF Ceiluloid.

Insurance men say that when they are
called upon to dust a loss caused by
the burning of celluloid they are abso-
lutely compelled TO take the books of
the owners unless they have evidence
TO show that the books have been made
up fraudulently. When piece Of cellu-
lod burns up every thing that is in it
passes away into the air and disappears.
The substance is made under patents
'wned by an American company, and it
is composed principally of camphor. A
gentleman connected with the company
which manufactures all the celluloid
articles sold in this market and furnishes
the bulk Of all that are sold the world
over says that the product Of the com
pany's factory last year was valued at
81, 5000 Suppose now" said the
person making this statement, that
our factory should burn, or that the store
in which We keep much Of our finished
product should burn, there would not
be in either case any means by which
the insurance company could determine,
independently Of us, whether We had
sustained loss Of hundred dollars on
cellnloid or a hundred thousand dol
lars IN. Y. Times

Wonderful Discovery.

One Of the most wonderful discoveries
in science that has been made within
the last year or two is the fact that a
beam Of light produces sound. A beam
of sunlight is thrown through a lens on
glass vessel that contains lampblack,
coIored silk or worsted, or other sub
stances A disk having Sits or open
ings cut III it is made TO revolve swiftly
in this beam of light so as to cut il up,
thus making alternate flashes of light
and shadow. On putting the ear to the
glass vessel strange sounds are heard
so long as the flashing beam is falling
on the vessel.
Recently more wonderful discovery
has been made. A beam of sunlight is
made to pass through a prism, SO as TO
produce what is called the solar
spectrum or rainbow. The disk is
turned, and the cOlored light of the
rainbow is made to break through it.
Now place the ear to the vessel contain
ing the silk, wool or other material
AS the colored lights of the spectrum
fall upon it, sounds will be given by
different parts of the spectrum, and
there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains
red worsted, and the green light flashes
upon it. loud sounds will be given.
Only feeble sounds will be heard when
the red and blue parts of the rainbow
fall upon the vessel, and other colors
make no found at all. Green silk gives
sound best in red light Every kind of
material gives more or less sound in
different colors, and utters no sound in
others.
The discovery is a strange one, and it
is thought more wonderful things will
come from it-Golden Days.

facturies- The manufacturing estab
lishment created a dem nd for work
men, and thousands of people left
the farms to engage in other work
and that created a greater demand
for all kinds of farm produce, and in
that way the prices of produce has
been kept up. If the people were
all farmers, who weuld there be to
buy the products of the farms The
Republican party has ever been the
farmers best friend, and it is the or
ganization through which to correct
the crud:ties that exist in the new
order of things that have grown up
with manufacturing and corporate
business. How can the blind lead

by those present was to get the
horses out safely, which was difficult
to do owing to their being so badly
frightened. A horse standing in the
stable but few feet from where the
electric fluid passed into the ground
seemed entirely unconscious of it.
BY this time, which was very short,
however, the fire IN the hay NOW
was burning considerably, but the
hay being just sweating the fire did
not get much headway A determ-

made and it proved successful. A

and succeeded in smothering and
quenching the flames. The barn is
