A Bird Blinded by Fog,

1t was at Moor Allerton, near Leeds. a
village which stands on high hill, crowned
by large wood. By the road near the
wood stood one or two of what were then
the last gas lamps of the town. Though IL
was not late in the afternoon, the fc was
so thick that these were lighted, and round
one of them was flying a large bird, either
a wood pigeon or stock dove, which had
probably lost its way as it was making for
the wood, and was helplessly flying round
the twinkling light. 1t continued to do so
as long as the writer cared to wait.-Spec-

Notes.

The following remedy is recommended for COW that gives bloody milk: Ex- tract phytolacca decanura fluid, five ounces; water, one pint; mix, and give two ounces three times daily. Also ap ply locally phytolacca in the proportion ot about one to four of water.
 Rich and high feeding will not only produce greater flow of milk, but will make the milk richer.
 When the COW is shedding her hair her milk is poorer and thinner than at other times.
 Thunder storms sour milk, but it is not on account of electricity passing through the milk. On the contrary, electricity passed in a current through milk will Keep 1t sweet for considerable length U tune. But if the electric current is passed over the milk and above it sour ing IS hastened. The Italian chemist who made these experiments reasoned mat the electric current in the air above 'he milk produced ozone. and that was what caused the acidulation.
 The souring of milk is attributed, like everything else now, to the development or bacillus. Warmth develops this bacillus, hence if the milk is kept very cold 1t does not appear and multiply.
 An excellent ration for pigs is two parts of milk, either skinned or butter wiik, to one of corn meal.

When Free-Trade Gomez.

The members of the British Iron and Steel institute, all experienced manu- lecturers, after their extended tour of observation through American industrial centers, testify that owing to the high rate of wages in this country American manufactories could not continue with out Protection, When Free-trade comes, and the American workingman sits on the fence and looks up at the smokeless chimneys of the silent factory which had furnished him the means of keeping himself and family in comfort and re- spectability, it will be sorry consolation for him to reflect that its owner, the "robber baron," had been forced by im- ports and competition of cheap foreign goods to shut down, and can no longer "fatten on the substance of the people," The foreign mill owner and the foreign workingman will then do all the "fatten- tng."

Catching Dishonest Miikmen.

The habit of keeping strict accounts is one cause of the common success of the farming of former business men. The farm needs business habits as much as a store does. was once running a dairy with a large and valuable milk route. Two men were employed to deliver the milk. Each helped at the milking, weighed the milk and recorded the weight on a sheet hung in the barn and changed weekly. Occasionally watch ed the milking and weighing, so that a standard of the yield was secured. Any falling of in the yield of course would be noticed at once, and it varied very little from day to day. By and by l found the returns of sales much shorter than the yield of milk. The difference made $G5 in one month.
 At pay day kept back the wages of the two men until the shortage was ex- plained. I was sued by one, and as produced in the court the statement of the milk yield in the mans handwriting, and he could not account for the short returns, l recovered judgment against him. Then the other fellow confessed to me he had been induced to keep back every day so much money. Had the men not left witness in their own writing they could not have been con victed of the ealing. This hint may be valuable to owners of milk routes.- New York Tribune.

DAIRY AND CREAMERY,
RUNNING THE SEPARATOR FAST AND
 RUNNING IT SLOW.

The Most Cream Is Obtained When the
 separator Is Run at About Two Third.
 the Speed Named in the Circulars,
 Test to See II the Cream Is Out.
 A lew years ago thought some of putting in a separator in my gathered cream plant, and to learn all could l took trip of a week or so and visited some twenty or more creameries. 1 saw the two styles of the De Laval separator, the Danish Weston and Sharples, and must say was greatly surprised at the variation in the yield of butter. A mem orandum will show you why I was sur prised:
 First creamery, Danish separator, yield. 4.s7 Second creamery, Danish separator, yield. 4.9a Third creamery, De Laval separator, yield. 5lC Fourth creamery ,Sharples separator, yield. AS Fifth creamery, De Laval separator, yield. 4lO sixth creamery, De Laval separator, yield. 5.05 Seventh creamery, Danish separator, yield. 6.0C Eighth creamery, Danish separator, yield. &r2
 These eight creameries will show as a fair sample of the balance I visited. Now these eight were in the same local ity, and why should there be a differ ence of pound of butter to the 100 pounds of milk is what beats me.
 But have solved the question, or at least part of it, For in every case where they had big yield the butter maker was onto his job" as the saying is. He was not hurrying the milk through his separator at 2:40 gait, but he was run ming slow. not over two-thirds as much as the printed circulars say can be run through. The same day visited the crcameries that showed yield of 40 and 5.05. The butter maker in the creamery where they got pounds per hundred was always in hurry to get his work done. He was crowding his separators all they could stand and never tested to see if he got all the cream.
 The one that got 5.05 was only putting through 1000 pounds an hour, and he was very careful to test every few days to see if he was getting all the cream. l would like very much to hear from some one who has had experience in run ming milk through fast and slow,
 There is of course difference in the yield of butter from different herds, and a difference of the yield in different Creameries, but 1 do not think there should be pound to the hundred. Cor Creamery Journal.

"It is simply silly to be carping about the operation of the Mckinley tariff bill, as to whether it raises the price of one kind more or less of goods. It's object was to provide that goods should be high all along the line. as far as legislation could make them so If 1t has not suc- ceeded in this it has failed in its pur- pose"
 This simply means, "Do not. gentle consumer. take the trouble to investi- gate this question of prices for yourself, but take our mugwump word for it that the Mckinley bill meant to make them higher, even if you should find; as we fear you will, that prices of what you buy are just as low as they were be- fore the passage of the bill" As the real culprit is always detected by his att tempt to run away, so The Boston Her aid confesses it's untruthfulness in this trying to get away from it's ante-election assertions.

Wood and Tin a. Butter Prices.

A dealer in dairy supplies, and who manufactures butter packages holding from two to fifty pounds, says that he has all along found bitter opposition from grocerymen in handling these pack ages. The reason for this, he says, is to be found in the fact that the grocer would rather furnish the dish in which to put the butter himself, and as these weigh two ounces it will be seen that the customers who order one pound of butter only get fourteen ounces, and the other two ounces go into the grocer's pocket, less the cost of the dish. So long as the consumer is content to pay tho grocer thirty cents pound for these wooden dishes with tin corners on just So long will the grocer impose on him. The customer ought to insist on eighteen ounces to the pound if two ounces of 1t are to be in wood and tin. Exchange.

Mckinley Prices on Doughnuts.

While was in Spokane Falls the Mo Kinley bill struck the woodpile." A man who for years had brought wood down from the mountains at the usual price of $i a cord announced one morn. ing that the price had risen to 8. When asked why, he answered, Well, you know everything is gone up since the Mckinley bill" But a few days later his sales fell of and he was glad to get back to the old price of $i cord. While was at Tacoma a dilapidated specimen of humanity, who had evi- dently been on an all night debauch, staggered one morning at daybreak into a low restaurant which runs all day and all night He called for coffee and donghnuts. From the time when a drunken mans memory runneth not to the contrary four doughnuts had consti- tuted portion. But this time the waiter appeared with cup of coffee and three doughnuts.
 "What do you mean by bringing mo only three douehnutsT exclaimed the surprised customer.
 "Why, sir," stammered the waiter, "you see since the McKin"-
 Up sprang the irate customer, and seizing the waiter by the collar exclaimed with an oath: Boy. if you undertake to work that air racket onto me I'll knock your two eyes into one. Bring me that other doughnut."
 And the other doughnut came. .-J oseph Simmo, Jr., in New York Tribune.

4 Mugwump BackdowD.

Before the people had had time to dis cover the truth for themselves the Free. trade press assumed to know that prices had been generally advanced by the new tariff. Since the real facts are becoming understood, and as consumers find that prices as a rule have not been affected at all by the Mckinley bill, but that they are now actually lower on many things than at this time last year, the ''reform- ers' are trying to back down from their ante-election assertions. Witness the following from The Boston Herald:

English View of the Tin Plate "My yths."
 From thp Iondnn Iron Nfonper I

tFrom the London Iron Monger.l
 The American manufacturers will have many difficulties to contend with, no doubt, but the tariff will make the home market we'll worthy of being stren- uously fought for, and they have accom- plished too much already in metallurgy to be daunted by process such as tin plate making. We do not indulge in prophecy, but if we did we should be inclined to forecast that within three years from now great many tin plates will be made in the United States. As natural sequence of that impression, We would advise the Welsh manufact- urers to lose no time in endeavoring to open up new markets.
 GFrom the London Financial Times.l
 Yankee boastfulness is so proverbial that Englishmen are apt to neglect the substratum of truth that frequently un- derlies it. Nevertheless the leaders of the tin plate industry on this side of the Atlantic would do well not to underrate the importance of the latest industrial movement in the states. We have in our favor the great advantages of devel- oped resources, skilled workmen and es- tablished plant, but the Americans can command unlimited supphes of raw ma terial and are second to none in the en- terprise and mechanical skill. If, under the increased tariff that will shortly come into force, we are to retain our command of the United States market, union between masters and men is essen- tial
