The Queen Not a Figurohead.

Undoubtedly the sovereign of Hawaii
since the revolution of 1887 has become
monarch of very restricted powers.
Yet the queen is by no means a mere
fgurehead. The successful fight of Kal-
alIana in the supreme court of years ago
preserved the royal veto as an individual
prerogative, under the decision that the
previous sanction of the cabinet is not
required for its exercise. Since the
queens accession to the throne another
decision of this tribunal has confirmed
her right to appoint new cabinet, and
she promptly exercised that right.
Minister Garter May Be Recalled.
The difference between English in-
fiuence and American influence may not
be very sharply defined now, but in the
matter Of legislation and veto. in the
matter Of appointments to Office, in the
matter of trade preferences, it might one
day become so. Should Minister Garter,
who for years represented Hawaii at
Washington under Kalakaua, and was
recently reappointed under his successor
now be removed because his sympathies
are too strongly American as has been
intimated in the interview with the
queen, at least The reason for the act
would hardly meet approval here.

COSTLY "SPORT."

Treatment Of Cows Which Interferes
with the Profits.
On a recent trip across portion Of q
neighboring town. as l approached the
home of a noted milk dairyman,I heard
braying of an ass But as came nearer
! could make out something like this
''F-e-t-c-h-e-m up t-h-e-r-e-r-e," con.
stantly repeated. Soon a turn in the
road brought me in sight of about
twenty cows probably half of the
dairy standing at the head of a steep
lane across the valley. All their heads
were thrown up, evidently in great fear
and alarm. Very soon dog came rush
ing up the hill, made a dash at one OF
them, when two or three more escaped
and ran furiously down and joined
those that had run the gauntlet
before them. This was repeated
until all were huddled on q
steep bank below the highway and sep
arated from it by three large poles,
each a foot higher than the other. The
hired man now got down from his perch
on the road wall and dropped one end
of the upper pole. The obstruction in
the barway was still two feet high.
Over this the cows were compelled to
leap, up a steep bank. l saw the milk
gush out of their teats as they dashed
their bags against the poles over which
they were jumping, three and four at
one time, as il their lives depended upon
getting into the highway No doubt
this was an extreme case, and not likely
to occur with the knowledge or consent
of the owner. But the young man
had he not witnessed rare sport" and
some very exciting races, and could tell
to dot which COW made the cleanest
run and which leaped the bars most
gracefully? The idea that such treat
ment was cruel had not entered his
mind. Nevertheless, this is the system
by which many dairymen allow their
COWS to be managed, and the questions
naturally arise: Can cows when SO
treated yield a wholesome food product?
Should their product be allowed to go
IN the market?-Colman's Rural World.

TEST EACH COW.
The Only Way for Dairymen to Know
Their Herds.

Tho Only Way for Dairymen to Know
Their Herds.
1t is very easy for dairymen to place
too much reliance upon some one point
which, though of great Importance, will
not of itself give success. Some make
the mistake of snpposing that the breed
is the grand essential and that if they
only had pure bred stock they would
have no further trouble. Others assert
that the manner of feeding determines
the results and believe that any ordinary
stock, if carefully fed, will be produc-
tive and profitable. Others. with much
better grounds for their opinion, hold
chat with good breed and a scientific
method of feeding combined, success
will be certain. But even the most
plausible theories sometimes fail. 1t
has been demonstrated time and again
that some thoroughbred cows, even Of
the best breeds, are not good milk
crs: that some cows are much more
productive under rich feeding than they
are when only moderately fed. while
others do not respond to high keeping;

Quoted for five years. showed that while
one COW yielded profit of over ninety
three dollars, another, which was fed in
the same manner and for the same
length of time, failed to pay the cost Of
her keeping. Other cows ranged at
various points between these extremes.
But the most noticeable fact in these
results was that the poorest cow but
one, and the one which gave the largest
profit, were of the same breed. The
only way for the dairyman to be GER
tain that his cows are good is to give
each one careful test by itself.
Neither breeding, feeding, nor both
combined will be sure to give the profit
which the owner of the animals should
receive. There are individual cows
which, in spite of all favorable condi-
tions, will remain Improbable. They
should be detected as quickly as possible
and removed from the herds. America

PURE AIR, PURE MILK.

Few Facts Relating to an Important
Subject.
Pure air is indispensable for pure

Known milk to be spoiled by the odor
acquired from a mess of decayed turnips
In a cellar under a cow stable The air
breathed into the lungs of course comes
into contact with the blood which
passes through the abundant blood
vessels in these organs, and any inn
purity of the air is thus taken into the
blood and goes from thence to the milk.
The air, too, which comes into contact
with the milk in the dairy is crowded
with minute organisms which are float
ing everywhere, and which, falling into
it, at once terminate and grow and in
crease with great rapidity. These pro-
duce the same resultsin milk as they do
in the blood of an animal. In their
growth they decompose a part of the
milk and leave a waste product which il

some are known to do this / know
that the red fungus sometimes appear

tilated cellars and milk houses gives q
bitter taste to the milk, and that this
bitterness is acquired by the butter.
Another cause of bitterness in milk and
butter is said to be a minute germ, q
bacterium which has been found by DR..
Roland Thaxter. of Connecticut, in bitter
cream, and this bitterness is unaues-
due to the products of the

parasite, which exists abundantly In
the air, and is thus communicated to
the milk. Much more might be written
on this subject, which is exceedingly
to dairymen, but enough has
been said to show the necessity OF
giving the closest attention to cleanli-
ness and perfect purity. - Practical

resulted in determination to build a
