Fewer Cow. and More MIR.

Dairymen should push the point of Improvement by lessening the number of cows and increasing the yield per capita. Only those men become dis gusted with dairying who are pulled down by inferior cows in their herds. I am sure that there is almost no herd in which the better half does not pay n fair profit, and l do not see why the owners do not kill off the inferior cows. By raising calves only from their best cows, bred to thoroughbred bulls, they could, without increasing tho invest ment either in time or labor, add one half to their incomes and get the bal anoe for the whole herd on the right side of the ledger.-Co Hoard's Dairy man.

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have 8 vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be i'm ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market prlce will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is a matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract slkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions. etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watchfulness over the management, and by united ef- fort a staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

BUTTER AND CHEESE
w.y SOME PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE
 MAKING CHEESE.

 p.ppet-- -.Phenst- -Fhthaiein."
 After seeing some of the best makers in America and England make cheese, l understood why my wife and I had trouble with our cheese making on the farm in New Zealand seven years ago. We added the rennet when the milk was too sweet. Even now I hesr complaints f,,m old fashioned cheese makers, who change off from their home made rennet to some standard rennet extract or ren- net tablets. that they can't make as good A cheese. the whole trouble being that their milk is not ripe enough, and that when they used their home made rennet, soaked in sour whey, they introduced an seid with it which is not in the pure commercial rennet.
 But the decision of when the milk is ripe enough for the addition of -rennet is one of the finest points in cheese mak- ing. and good makers have been using the rennet test, but though it is great improvement on no test 1t seems hardly to fill the bill altogether. About year sgoI received private information about s new test, and inquiries whether l would introduce it in the west. agreed to do it, provided found it of practical value, but have not heard anything about it since then. Advices from Eng land lead me to believe that this new test is nothing but soda pellets of cer- tain strength, whereby the acidity was sscertained.
 There are many ways of determining this. Simply by adding a few drops of .sphenol-phthalein" to the milk (diluted) and then using . solution of soda Cor pei lets) of a certain strength to neutralize the acid. When this is done it is shown by the liquid turning pink, and the acid ity is then expressed by how many cubic centimeters it took to neutralize the mixture. Perhaps this may be used also for a guide when to draw the whey, though doubt it will prove better than the hot iron test. But meanwhile I hope our experimental stations will take this matter up, not in their laboratories or their college ''dairies" only, but in the ueameries and cheese factories.
 A practical adoption of this test for the factories should also be devised, and when found adopted as standard. When we adopt the daily paying by the test" system, and get those girl book keepers to do the testing, even this acid test may be taken up by them, and the careless maker be compelled to wait for the cream or milk to be ready, and not to churn or add the rennet whenever he is ready; while the good makers will be only too happy to have an extra assist ance in determining the right moment, and thus getting more uniform result.

The Prize Butter.

At the last Illinois dairy fair the but ter prize was taken by butter made from grade stock that ran in the stalk field every day last winter, were fed clover nay and ear corn, with the milk set in open pans. This scored 94i points against " points for the competing product of thoroughbred cows, silage, patent cream er' etc. In butter making it IS some nmes more in the dairymaal than in the stock or improved methods Cleanliness and common sense are two of the ian- portant factors.

Everybody knows in a general way

done in the world, but few people re-
alize the fact until it is recuced to

ity will use about 100 words a min
ute, and in conversation the number
Is about the same, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat Now suppose the
average talker talks four hours "a
day he will repeat $4,000 words each
day, equal to u columns of the pa
per or to As pages of d book of ordi-
nary size. In a year he will have
words that will fill 1880 pages or
30 volumes of 500 pages each, and
in thirty years 1850 volumes will be
filled with the nothings that are said
from moment to moment. This cal
culation is for a man; for a woman,
of course the figures would be at
least doubled.

More American Tin Plate.

The excellent results of the Mckin-
ley Tariff bill are shown in the rap-
id development of the manufacture OF
tin plate in this country-one OF
the articles which was the most
fiercely attacked by free traders
during the last campaign Every
farmer was told that his milk cans
would cost a good deal more than
before, and the "laboring mans
dinner pail" was hammered on all
through the campaign.
In addition to the manufactory
at Demmler, which has already been
mentioned in the newspapers, plant
has recently been established at st.
Louis, and is now turning out 300
cases of tin plate a day, wholly of
American manufacture The plates
are made at Chattanooga, Tenn,
and the timing done in st. Louis.
They have already put upon the
market saucepans, pals, buckets,
in fact every kind of household
article, as well as roofing tin. The
goods are pronounced by those who
have examined them to be OF excel
lent quality, and the price of the
manufactured article is about the
same as has prevailed heretofore.
The manufacture of tin in this
country which has thus been dem
onstrated to be feasible, will rapidly
increase, and it is only reasonable to
anticipate that in this as in other
cases where there is competition,
the price will rapidly drop to the
minimum.
Thus one by one is the logic of
events destroying the free traders
trade.

Maple Sugar.

In a paper read before The Ameri-
can Association on "The Indian ORR
gin of Maple Sugar" by Mr.. Henry
W. Henshaw of Washington, the
point was as to whether the Indians
learned to make sugar of the whites
or vice versa. The argument drawn
from the maple tree festivals and lin
gnistic evidence showed the red men
were in no way indebted to the whites
for sugar, no more than for the Guilt
walton of corn. the pumpkin, bean,
and tobacco. Their simple process
was aboriginal, resulting from their
own observation and inventive pow
ers. They collect the sap in birch
bark vessels. These hold in some
cases a hundred gallons. They take
advantage of cold April nights to
freeze the sap, and in the morning
throw out the ice They evaporate it
by throwing hot stones into the res
ervoirs of sap. The sugar is eaten
mixed with corn. Sometimes the
pure sugar is their only diet for a
month. They boil vension and rab-
bits in the hot sap as they evapOrate
it, They also make sugar from the
silver maple and box elder. That
the Indians made sugar from times
unknown is proved by eirlanguage,
their festivals and their traditions
Several authors of early times, telling
of their visits to the Indians, men
ton maple sugar, and one of them,
in 1856, describes the Indians mode
of preparing it. The gathering of
sap and making of sugar formed one
of their annual religious ceremonies.

mushroom concerns who are seek
ing to induce the public to part with
their money under the most fiat
tering kind of misrepresentation.
These cooperative associations, of
which Mr.. Greene has already I'M
earthed over 100, return (?) anywhere
from two to five dollars for one; and
if there ever was case of banking
on the gullability of the people it is
these mushroom swindling concerns.

American people, better than any

bugs flourish so well on New Eng

Master of the Situation.

Secretary Proctor is one of the
most thoroughly trained business
men in the cabinet. He is also one
of the most reserved. When he went
into the war department he found
that the business was, for all practi-
cal purposes, in the hands of intelli-
gent and active chiefs of bureaus. 1t
has been natural for secretaries Sc
lected from civil life to defer too much
to the military men in charge of
special branches. 1t has been the
easiest way to get through with their
duties. But Secretary Proctor, who
for years had been at the head of a
great private business, found that he
could conduct the department bust
ness only in one way, and that was
thoroughly to understand it's details
and then look after everything as he
would his own affairs. This ne has

He is to-day thorough

EDEN MILL G

Dr.. Wright S famous variety show
struck Eden Mills on the 18th inst.
and brought out full house. The
main object of the show appeared to
be the advertising of a sort of condi-
ton powder, which the Dr. said was
a sure and certain remedy for nearly
every i'll that frail humanity was
subject to, if taken in season. One
of the interesting features of the en-
tertainment was the Offering of three
prizes, as follows: The LIST a beauti-
full album to be given to the lady re-
ceiving the largest number of votes
which was to proclaim her as the
handsOmest lady in town. This
prize was secured by Miss Hattie
Hodge, eldest daughter of mine host
of the Mt. Norris house. We con
graduate Miss Hattie on her success
in establishing herself as the hand
soonest lady in Eden, a place famed
Tor beautiful women ever since the
days of mother Eve The 2nd prize
was bank full of money. which was
to be given to the prettiest child. or
who received the most votes, and
which was won by Hazel Generess. q
bright little girl who besides being
pretty, had lately had the great mis-
fortune to lose her best friend, her
dear mother, and for whom the peo-
pie felt to sympathize for that rea-
son. The 3D. and last prize was an
elegant and enormous Goldfish weigh
ing according to statement,) about
l35 lbs. which was to become the
property of the man who should be
elected as the hOmliest' in town.
There was considerable competition, !
but the fish was at last secured by D. |
f. Whittemore Now we never
thought that Dan was a very homelv |
man; on the contrary his face when |
lighted up with one of his genial

we strongly suspect, however, that |
his fellow townspeople had somehow
got the idea, (as he is nearly ALWAYS
thirsty,) that his diet must consist
chiefly of salt Goldfish, and conse-
quently, when the opportunity was
offered, voted him a good supply.
We are happy to say that Mr.. w.
received the present gracefully, or to
