LIGHT m The STABLES.
DO Not Be Afraid OF Letting the Cows
Have Plenty of sunshine.

Have Plenty of sunshine.
All will admit that most living things
do better In sunlight than in darkness,
We have never met anyone who claimed
that cows were an exception to this
general rule, yet many farmers and
dairymen act as though they believed
they were. In witness of this fact no.
tice the barns and cowstables along
your road the next time you go to town.
In fact how is 1t upon your own farm?
Those who have dark places claim
they do not see but their cattle are
we'll enough, and that the milk is as
good as that produced by other cows.
They have never tried the same cows
in two different conditions so do not
know from experience what the differ
ence in results would be.
In recent number of Hoard's Dairy
man the editor told of an incident that
occurred nearly score of years ago in
York state. He had been looking over
fine herd of dairy cows owned by an
intelligent dairyman.
1.-The cows were standing in the yard,
and" says the editor. eve were much
impressed by the strong indications OF
tone, vigor and thrift which marked
every animal in the herd. On inquiry
we found that they were not highly fed,
yet they looked and appeared better
than some herds that consumed much
larger daily ration.
1.-The owner explained the mystery
by saying that he ascribed the superior
condition of his cows very largely to
the care he had taken, in the construc-
ton of the stable, to have it well light
ed. His stable was on the south and
east side of the barn, and the wall was
filed with windows with double sash.
The stable was as light as day In every
part of it.
1.-The owner reported that he had no.
ticcd two peculiar effects: (1) the color
of the butter was much higher. Sun.
light was the secret One principal
reason why winter butter is so much
whittier than summer butter is that the
cows do not receive as much sunlight
in the stable as in the pasture. (2) Ho
believed the light, and consequent in
crease of heat, decreased the consump-
ton of food. At any rate, he thought
he could winter his cows in the new,
well lighted stable with considerable
saving of food over what was consumed
in the old stable"
Whether sunlight will make yellow
er butter than gloom or not matters
little, but whether the COWS are kept in
damp and dark or in the full light OF
even winters sun matters much.
Don't be afraid of letting in the light
Light is not cold.-Farm, Field and
Stocllman.

The Cow vs.. the Railroad.

The supreme court of Indiana has af-
trmed point of railroad law that is
important in all agricultural commune
ties. A farmers cow strayed on the
railroad track and was killed by a train.
He sued the company for the value of
his COW, and the company sued him for
damages to the locomotive. The suit
has gone through all the courts, until
now the supreme court of the state has
decided, in effect, that it is as much the
farmers business to keep his cows off
the railroad track as it was the bust
ness of the railroad company to keep
its locomotives out of his pasture lots,
and that if either strayed on the prop
erty OF the other their owner was lia,
BILE for the damage caused. Conse-,
quently the farmer pays for the dam
age to the locomotive. and the company
does. not pay for the cow.-National

BLAINE AS A GATE OPENER.
Enthusiasm OF the Pennsylvania Repub
llcan Mill Bosses.


The republicans of Pennsylvania in
convention assembled warmly thank
the Fifty-frst congress for passing the
Mckinley bill. Why should they not?
The Mckinley bill was Pennsylvania
bill. 1t was constructed in accordance
with the known wishes of the Pennsyl-
vania mill bosses, who are also the re-
publican party bosses. The bill was to
great extent directly made by those
Pennsylvania mill bosses. 1t was to be
expected that they would approve and
applaud their own work.
But these same Pennsylvania repub-
Leans, In their eXtravagant laudation
of Mr.. Blaine, mention as one of his
most glorious achievements that he
has "opened wide TO us in other lands
commercial gates heretofore barred
And out of gratitude to him for this
and some other things stated and not
stated they were on the point of nomi-
mating him for the presidency in 1892
with tremendous hurrah, when they
were restrained by considerations of
prudence.
Now it is n strange thing that these
Pennsylvania bosses should shower
praises and honors on man for open
ing wide To- us in other lands CONNER
cial gates heretofore barred. 1t is far
more consistent for them to thank
Mckinley and the rest for barring
commercial gates in other lands here
tofore open. 1t has been, and still is,
their policy to bar all the commercial

Therefore we are to presume that
they were not sincere in praising their
hero for opening commercial gates.
What they really admire in him is his
shrewdness in pretending to open some
gates to comparatively worthless com
mercial territory in order the more Sc
curely to bar the gates to other com
mercial territory ten times as valuable.
They appreciate him as consummate
adept in the art of fooling the crowd,
and they have use for his services in
the exercise of that art. The man who
can make people think it is better for
them to be relieved of $50, 600, 900 tax on
sugar than to be relieved of 5000, 900, 600
burden imposed by the taxes on wool
ems, crockery, glass, iron and other
products of pet industries is just the
man to please the Pennsylvania mill
bosses.
They have use for his services. He

They understand that he will never
open any commercial gates where the
opening will tend to interrupt the mill

people. Hence the Pennsylvania en-

ROCHESTER. " Y. Sept. 26-The pres
bytery of Rochester has held its fall meet
ing at Nunday. The matter Of chief in
terest was the confession of faith as re-
vised by the committee of the general
assembly. In chapter third, the clause
God hath predestinated some of mankind
unto life" WAS changed 70 "predestinated
a multitude whom no man can number"
The last sentence in the sixth section Of
the same chapter was struck out, Neither
are any other redeemed by Christ effec-
tuaIly called, justified, adopted, sanctified
and saved. but the elect only"
The most remarkable thing done was
to vote that the seventh section, chapter
of both in the original form, which de-
clares that "the rest of mankind God was
pleased To pass by and TO ordain TO dishon-
or and wrath, aud the revised form should
be omitted altogether and the following
adopted as substitute for IL: The de-
crees of God concerning all mankind are to
be so construed hs to be in harmony
with these declarations OF Scripture, viz:
That Christ is the precipitation for the
sins of the whole world and that God Is
not willing that any should perish but
all should come TO repentance aud live"
This change having been made, il was
decided to be necessary 10 strike out the
last section Of the chapter which relates to
high mystery. In chapter six, section two.
the statement, "Defiled In all faculties and
parts of soul and body" was modified In
the third section of the same chapter the
clause, 1.-The guilt of this sin was imput-
ed, +" was dropped because 10 say, I'VE all
