THE separator seems to have more
important use in the South than with
us because in the South the hot weather
lasts longer and ice is more costly. AS
the Southern Stockman rightly Observes
In the North the temperature of we'll and
spring water is 450 and 800, while extreme
South our water ranges from Coz to 75o. To
get all the cream, or virtually ALL the tenn
perature of the water, in deep setting of
milk, must be as low as 45o, In the North,
when the water happens not to be cold
enough for the most perfect separation of
cream from milk, ice is used Nearly every
farmer puts up his own ice, and the cost is
very little, comparatively, Here in the
South ice is too high to justify buying it.

Animals living in the lowlands are more
subject to this disease than the more robust
races living in elevated mountainous re-
gions. Similarly, animals on the open pas.
ture are less susceptible than stabbed ami
mails. This may, however, be due to con-
centration of virus in the stables. The dis
ease is likewise far more common in COWS
than in oxen, owing to the strain which
bringing forth young and milking subject
the females. Animals subjected to special
feeding such as dairy cows, cows in distil-
leres, breweries, and other manufactures
most susceptible to the disease. The dis
tribution of tuberculosis in general is also
governed by climate and other meteorolog-
ical factors, as well as by the amount of
infection. AS regards the latter, it is well
known that the greatest number of cases oc-
cur in the immediate environment of cities
where the virus may be regarded most
abundant. The disease is said to be rare
in northern countries, such as in the north
of Sweden and Norway on the steppes
among wild herds, on islands such as Sicily
and Iceland. Statistics indicate that the
percentage of cattle attacked varies greatly.
From tables compiled by Goring for Ba-
varia, we learn that in 1877 and 1873 the
number Of tuberculous cattle was abont
sixteen head in every 10000.
1t need not be any greater anywhere
in New England, outside ofcity stables.
IN Massachusetts the dog nuisance
RACES as badly as elsewhere in New
England; and not alone sheep are the
subjects of their ferocious raids. The
Springfield Republican says:
The Berkshire dogs which cost the county
for the first six months of this year 81 600
for sheep and fowl slaughter, developed a
new style, early yesterday morning in
what is known as the Wilcox pasture in the
northeast portion of the place. A colored
man harvesting rye at that point early
Wednesday evening, saw a bulldog and a
mongrel chasing and swapping at a valuable
| brood mare heavy with foal, and drove
them off. Early yesterday morning or his
arrival there these two dogs were attacking
the mare, which gave the bulldog a kick
that knocked him over, With his mate he
dragged the mare to the ground, but the
man reached the spot and after hard fight
drove the beasts off, but not before they had
| bitten the mare severely. The animal is
thought the second best inbred Hambleto-
MAN brood mare in the county, and is the
| property OF Thomas III. Richardson, the
| North street jeweler. D. A. Brackin, the
| veterinary surgeon, says that the wounds
will prove fatal to the foal and most likely
to the mare.

Do we object to the separator on
New England farms? Not necessarily;
yet we think persistent drumming has
introduced them where they might well
be left untried. AT any rate, we find a
considerable number of farmers who
seem to wish they had kept clear of the
investment, especially when they con-
slider the hard work of whirling them,
and the delay entailed in the busy times
of hay and harvest. They speak in
somewhat envious terms of the easy
times we have with our excellent Stod-
dard creamery, which steadily raises all
the cream in twelve hours, and leaves
us all our time to attend to other work.
1t does the business when you are busy,
resting, or away from home; but the
singer has to be slung, morning and
night, by somebody.

ISOLATION itself Gas we gather from our
exchanges), on account of his high
priced, high-headed, and high. handed,
administration of its affairs and now
the Maine Farmer takes him across its
knee and administers needed chastse-
ment, as follows
"The HolStein-Fri Register, in its July
number, in its efforts to cast reproach on
other breeds of cattle, makes the very I'M
just and uncalled-for statement that it may
be stated as fact that no breed is so much
predisposed to tuberculosis as the Jersey
And it goes on to say that constant demon
STATIONS of this fact are found in all locali-
ties where they are kept, and that this is
true to so great an extent that no one should
think of using Jersey milk until the COW
has been pronounced healthy by compe-
tent veterinarian So malicious a charge is
open to the condemnation of all decent
stockmen, and it never could have been
prompted by any other motive than the
wish to destroy other stock by fasehoods,
in order to make room for its own. We
have seen and known something Of diseased
CATTLE and If we were disposed to tell on
the breeds, it is possible the record would
include in full force that which the Register
would have the public infer was clean
This is only one of the frequent efforts of
the Register to cast reproach on so numer-
Gus and so useful breed as the Jersey, and
we would suggest that if it would expend
its efforts in showing up the merits of the
breed it champions rather than waste its
power in trying to annihilate the Jerseys,
it certainly would be more to its credit, il
not to the profit of the breed If the Regis
ter, to find a place for the Holsteins. must
first destroy the Jerseys we venture to say
it has big job on hand"

NOT even these bloody and ferocious
methods will do the business. When
he can find way to test the speed of
horses entirely unassociated with gam
bling, his difficulty will vanish-but not
one minute before. 1t will take more
business Ethan he ever saw, or ever
will see, to keep the vultures from their
prey. -
WE are much surprised to see the
veteran fruit grower, Andrew S. Fuller,
saying, as he does in the Tribune, that
"there has been no advance in cur
rants within the last thirty years, and
barely two instances where claim has
been made for new varieties, and both
exceedingly doubtful" If the Fay
currant is not new currant, then the
Wealthy and SCOTS Winter are not
new apples, nor the Diamond and
Green Mountain new grapes. We
have grown every currant named in
Mr.. Fuller's book, and all kinds intro
duced since, and the true Fay is as dis
tinct from all as any two of The same
color are from each other. 1t don't
seem possible that Mr. Fuller has been
fooled, as so many have been, by the
substitution of other large fruited cur
rants for Fay's. We rather suppose
that he has very favorable soil for the
Versailles or Cherry currants, though
even then the cluster of the Fay is
easily distinguished. We never could
get fruit enough from the Cherry or
Versailles to be worth the picking;
while we get, on the same soil, i'm
mense crops of Fay-and, next to APP
pies, currants are our largest fruit crop,
and have been for twenty-five years.
WE could wish that there were a
little-nay, good deal-more liberal
ity of thought amongst horticulturists
We don't quite like the tone of the fol-
lowing remarks, cut from american
Gardening, on formal gardening as con-
trasted with what is called (but is not
the "natural I" style: 1t should be q
great comfort to the lily tribe to feel
that they never can be tortured into an

yards of linoleum than a howerbed

this form of garden art(?), and unit

The Strikers VIII Take Some Action
and That Soon.

By Telegraph to State Chronicle.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 29.-To-nigh
the old scenes that were familiar prior
to the advent of the National Guards,
are being re-enacted. Knots of strik-
ers are to be encountered every
where discussing means of rout-
ing the non-union men now in the
mill. Were it not for the presence of the
provisional brigade, the fence around the
Carnegie steel plant would not long
separate the union and non union men.
At the company's Homestead Office this
evening it was announced that forty
two amalgamated men are at work :;
that all told, ninety men, who
went out on the 2Sth of June,
have applied for and received their
positions. The report that Hugh O'Don-
nell had deserted the lockedout men of
Homestead is denied by Hugh Dempsey,
of the Knights of Labor. To United
Press reporter Mr.. Dempsey said
"O'Donnell is now in New York, and you
can say that he is working night and day

This concluded the remarks of Mr..
Watson SO far as they related
to the charge of drunkenness on the
floor. The speaker then stated the
question was whether the gentleman
from Georgia should be permitted to
reply to Mr.. Wheeler. The question
was put to the House which refused the
permission. Mr.. Watson took his seat
and the question was dropped. After
the transaction of some routin business
Mr.. Boatner offered resolution citing
the language regarding drunkenness
quoted from Mr.. Watsons book and
reiterated on the floor, and providing
for the appointment of committee of five
members to investigate and report wheth-
ey the charges were true or not, andwheth-
er the privileges of the House had be envi-
olated. Mr.. Reed submitted that the
resolution was not in order at this time.
Mr. McMillin thought that when men,
Der printed anything slanderous or false
about the members it was certainly a
question for strict investigation. Mr..
Boatner said the charges, if true, were
a disgrace; if not true the au-
thor was disgraced. Rresolution adopted.
The House then proceeded with the
regular order, the motion of Mr. Bing-
ham to lay on the table Mr.. Holmans
motion to reconsider the vote by which
the House decided to recede from its dis
agreement to the Senate amendment re-
garding the Worlds Fair appropriation.
Filibustering was resumed at once,
and was continued until 5 O'Clock
when under the rules recess was taken
until 8 o'clock. The night session to be

By Telegraph to the State Chronicle
PrrTsBURG, Pa, July 29.-Of the
many men who have returned to work
in the Homestead mills-about 125-it
is said every man received terrible warn
ings of dire punishment if he does not
quit work at once. The men, on going
home, have found sand bags tied to their
doors every morning for a week past,
and requests and warnings have been
hung on the front knobs. They have re-
ceived letters through the mails which
contain bloodthirsty threats OF punish
ment for deserting the ranks of the strik-
ers. In addition to this committees of
the strikers have approached each man
and personally warned him of his peril
in remaining at work. The strikers
have driven six foremen out of the best
paying department in the Homestead
mill. The men earned about $12 day
each. They were told to leave off work
under pain of being violently dealt with,
but they stayed for week Then,
when one of them was caught outside
the mill he was severely beaten, and he
and the others were told that they would
be murdered if they did not leave.
The six foremen left and we're given by
the officials two days in which to return
to their positions or they would be for
feited. Two returned, but they came 6
day late and were not re employed. The
Rev. Mrs. Amanda Deyo, universal peace
commissioner of Scranton, Pa, who cam,
here as representative of the Universe
Peace Union to settle the Homestead
strike, returned to her home this morn
ing and the strike will 60 on. The at
tempt of the peace maker was futile.

the word both mills will be operated.
Meanwhile the strikers stand idly by, and
the company is prepared to fill both
mills with non union men at short notice
Enough more non-union men were sent
to Homestead this morning and last
night to increase the number there to
nine hundred. Superintendent of police
Rogor O'Mera will make no further
charges against anarchists Frederick
Mollick, who was arrested at Long
Branch as an accomplice Of assassin
Berkman. He says one charge is suffi
cient to hold him.

A BAND OF CRIMINALS.
The PinkertOn Men Arrested Have
Other Charges Preferred
Against Them.

By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-T. V. Pow
derly, general master workman Of the
Knights of Labor, this afternoon ap-
peared before the sub committee of the
House committee on judiciary, charged
with the investigation of the employ
ment of the Pinkerton detective force by
railroads, corporations, etc, in the pre-
vention of strikes. Mr.. Powderly said
be had some personal knowledge of cases
where violence had been exercised by
the Pinkerton men and had heard of
other cases from what he considered
good authority. He said he had
sent to the chairman of the committee,
statement denying the allegations of the
Pinkertons before the committee. Mr..
Oates inquired about the statement, but
no trace of it could be found. Mr..
Powderly read the statement referred to,
all of which has been published hereto
fore. Frank Webb, he said, charged
with wife murder, was one of the
Pinkerton men employed at Homestead.
Since the Homestead trouble, the labor
people had been investigating the char
acter of these men and so far had found
eight of them of doubtful character. One
of them (Webb) was charged with wife
murder, four with burglary, two
with wife beating and one with arson.
Witness knew of one man whom the Pin
kertons had employed to join the Knights
Of Labor to learn of its workings. This
man had confessed to him. Mr.. Pow
derly spoke Of the New York Central
strike and the connection of the Pinkpr-
tons with it. Chauncey Depew, he said,
caused the strike by adopting line of
policy through subordinates to excite and
make the railroad employees discon.
tented.
