One of the standard doctrines of mod
ern dairy practice is that dsnfectants can
never take the place of simple, Old-fashion-
ed cleanliness.
A COW is compelled to drink a large
quantity of water if she yields milk, and
she is more or less chilled on a cold day
when the water is covered with a film of
ice. When she drinks ice-cold water she
must warm the water with the heat from
her body. 1t is cheaper, and also more
humane, to warm the water for her.
Pure air in the country may be plentiful,
but it does not apply to all farms. There
is often an abundance of filth on farm,
and the cattle are compelled to eat it and
sleep in it. The only suitable place for
filth is the manure heap, and even there it
should be composted with absorbents. No
Odor from a city sewer can equal filthy
hog-pen in the country.
1t is not the number of cows in the herd
that gives the largest profit, but the capac-
ity of each individual. A herd represents
nothing,in fact, as the individual variations
may be very great. A small herd, COM
posed of good cows, and as uniform as
possible, will be profitable when another
herd which is overcrowded, and selected
without regard to the merits of each in
dividual, may drive the owner into bank
ruptcy.
No one can buy as good an animal as he
can breed unless he knows something of
the animal he buys, yet nine dairymen in
10 will buy all their fresh cows from any
source where the cows can be procured. If
COW has just calved it covers all other
considerations. No one can buy a COW
and KIN wv what he is buying if she is to be
used in the dairy. She must be tried in
order to learn her worth, and even if she
proves a good mixer she may be vicious
and unsafe. The only sure way to have
good cows is to raise them.

about $50 feet west and then across the
room, perhaps forty feet more, to the
foot of stairway where there is little
sign which says: ITO the Counting
Room"
Go upstairs and you will see half
hundred bookkeepers at work. At one
end of the room is a space rallied of,
but the gate is open. Walk in and turn
to the left, and you will see an inner
Office with an open door. There sits
John Clafiin. Tell him your business
as quickly as you can and go. He has
no time to waste, and as he does not
waste yours by making you wait to
send in your name, it is only fair to ask
him for as little as possible.
John Clafin is only forty-two years
old, but it is nineteen years since his
father, the famous Horace 3. Claf1ln,
made him full partner in the business.
The firm then owed s25, 900 900, but this
was all paid though 1878 was panic
year; and the great concern went on
selling goods-from $40, 900, 900 to s70,-
900, 900 worth a year. In twenty-five
years it has sold more than 81, ,0C0, ,OOo,-
900 worth of merchandise.
The father, when he started in busi-
ness in Worcester, Mass, sixty years
ago, had only 81, 600 capital. Of course,
the son had very different start in
life, but he was made to serve an ap-
premiership in the business after being
educated at the College of the City of
New York 1t was only after he had
proved his ability that his father trusted
him with business control, and he has
been proving his ability ever since.
There are few men in the world who
are more engaged in important business
matters than Mr.. Claflin, for besides be-
ing the head of the great corporation
which has succeeded the firm of II. 3.
Claf1in & Co, he is a trustee or director
of a great many charitable and fnan-
cial institutions. But he plays as vigor-
ously as he works. and so keeps his
youth and strength. In the city his
principal amusement is driving good
horses, but for many years he has kept
mp the habit of going away each sum-
mer for some two months Once he
went away for six months and accomp-
lished what no white man had ever done
before. He started with only one white
companion. at Peru, and crossed South
America. coming out at the mouth OF
the Amazon. This was the longest and
most adventurous of his journeys OF

persons have any idea of the wealth OF
romance-true romance, drama, aye,
and even tragedy-that lies concealed
beneath the threadbare and often tat
tered garments that drape these ruins
of former social greatness in the old
world.
There was romance, drama or tragedy
in an ordinary incident of routine life,
which, like most other Incidents. when
traced to formative circumstances, was
pathetic and uncommonplace.
Several years ago. while on a special
mission TO Berlin, l attended a fete
given by the crown princess. now
Empress Frederick. The fete, in fact,
was diplomatic move in which each
guest possessed political significance.
But the affair was magnitcently ar
ranged, and the guests were stimulated
to their best. 1t was a mass of gorgeous
coloring. a seeming whim to charm the
eve, while underneath ran the lively
excitement of strategic play. As
passed a group of nobtemen / noticed
one young man with the furrow of the
born statesman between his eyes, who
He was Count Won -, a man whose
family name appears on the bravest
pages of German history, and whose
handsome face and soldierly figure in
the uniform of an officer of the foot
guards compelled immediate attention.
AS / fingered the princess, passing,
paused to address the group.
Gentlemen" she said, but her
glance was upon the striking officer,
and, as she moved away, she turned to
smile at him, l thought with secret
meaning. Late the other night
boarded a jigger car at Chambers
street and Broadway, New York.
While the conductor was changing a
ffty-cent piece l glanced at his tall
figure in its baggy blue uniform. His
splendid face was that of the count,
and the furrow in his forehead was as
strongly marked as when l saw him be-
fore under strangely different circum-
stances.

of his speech convinced me l had not
! been mistaken.

"a great country, isn't it?"

on an unprecedented scale of grandeur.

It is the fate of many man, who,
having either achieved or else inherited
rank distinction and even celebrity, Is
forced by misfortune, often OF his own
making. to expatriate himself and to
endeavor TO reconstruct in the new
world the fortune and often the reputa-
ton that he has lost or forfeited in Eu-
rope. Some OF them succeed. but they
are comparatively few in number-not
more than third. in fact-and the re-
mainder, discouraged and broken
spirited, drift downward, from one
grade to another, until at length they
sink out of sigl t. And yet in many
such instances the mere recital of their
career would. if made public, be subj
