The Sturgeon Leader says: Many
think that newspaper men are per-
sistent dunners. By way of compar-
ison let US suppose that a farmer
raises 1000 bushels of wheat a year,
and sells this to 1000 persons in all
parts of the country, and q great
portion of them saying: 81 will
hand you a dollar in a short time"
The farmer does not want to be small
and says all right. Soon the 1000
bushels are gone but he has nothing
to show for it, and he then realizes
that he has fooled away his whole
crop and its value to him is due him
in a thousand little driblets, conse-
quently he is seriously embarrassed
in his business because his debtors,
each owing him 81, treat it as a
small matter and think it would not
help much; continue this kind of
business year in and year out as the
publisher does, how long would he
stand it? A moments thought will
convince anyone that a publisher
has aus for persistent dunning.

large quantity of it in proportion to
their size. If properly attended to
they are constant mixers. While
they are hearty eaters it is an easy
matter to satisfy their appetites.
And lastly, they are intelligent and
gentle and readily become attached
to those that look after them. The
Guernseys, Ayrshires and Holsteins
may give more milk but their pro-
duct is not so rich in butter fat. Of
course food makes great difference
in both milk and butter, but on sim
liar diet we prefer the product ofthe
Jersey cow and we think most peo-
pie agree with us.

HlGafNsvIELE, Mo, June s.--The

attending the opening OF the Mis-
souri, Confederate Home. Thousands
visited the buildings and grounds
during the morning,
An elegant dinner was prepared

at $50 p. III. the vast gathering was
called to order. The liigginsville

He spoke ut some length, referring

by the street cars on the Citizens

derstand that he fell from a car, but
no further particulars. He had a

The Farm Dairy.
BY JOHN J. GILL.

A model milk house should be
located nea a perennial spring of
uniform temperature. 1t goes with
out denial that such a spring can be
very rarely found. AS a conse-
quence the ordinary farmer must
have a substitute for that sort of
milk house. Perhaps the best
thing he can do is to build an ice
house with a room in the middle
surrounded by ice. In such a room
the temperature will be equal
throughout the year and of a char
acter calculated to extract from milk
all the cream it contains. If this
cannot be had and maintained the
next best thing will be a well sha-
ded cellar of moderate depth. This
may be under the farm house or
apart from it. AS a rule it will be
best to have two cellars OH every
farm-one under the dwelling for
vegetables and the other outside of
it for dairy purposes. But where
ever milk is kept there should be
thorough ventilation and drainage.
Without these dairy products will
be tainted. If cellar apart from
the house is used it should be from
a to 5 feet underground, be well
walled, have an elevation of 10 feet,
be furnished with drain pipes, large
windows on each side and a tight
ceiling as well as roof. 1t should
also have a chimney and place for
a stove.

Children Cry for
Pitchers Castoria,


We notice in the Columbia Herald
this week that the pastors of the
various churches in that town ex-
pressed themselves publicly as OPP
posed to dancing and the following
letter by the Columbia Ministerial
Association contains a quotation
from which we judge that the
programme of the dance referred to is
a literary curiosity to say the least:
We, the undersigned pastors,
having taken decided stand against
dancing as conducted in Columbia,
and by the way of warning our
people against it, have called the
attention to some of its objectiona-
Bile features. We are gratified by a
hearty support and sympathy we
have from the vast majority of the
members of our churches and the
more refined element in our COM
munity.
But some have dissented and
offered criticisms, and while their
criticisms have not been tempered
with kindness we cherish no feeling
against those who have offered them
but we believe they are born of
ignorance of the real facts of the
case.
To further vindicate our position
in this matter we offer the following
quotation taken from an official
programme of the dance given May
81, 1898, to which your daughters
were not only hidden but at which
they we're actually present. Their
names fill the blank spaces on the
programme from which this quota
ton is copied:
''cHEsTNUrs.r
What. the girl l adore by another embraceds
What. the balm Of her lips shall another man
taste?
What. touch'd iii the twirl by another mans
knees
What pant and recline onanother than met
Sir: she's yours From the grape you have
pressed the soft blue,
From the rose you have shaken the trenulous
dew.
What you have touched you may take,
Pretty Walter, adieui BYRON
This quotation is given of course
to indicate the spirit of the entertain
ment. 1t is designed to give those
present the keynote of the evenings
programme.
Fellow citizens and brethren if not
for the sake of Christianity, can't
we in the name of modesty and vir-
tue, and for the sake of the great
cause of education stand together
against this evil?

Destroyed by Fire and Again at Work.

The Price BakingPowderCompany
of Chicago, which is known through
out the country for the superior tx
~cellence of its Baking Powder, met
with a serious loss on the morning
of May 18th, in the nearly total des-
truction by fire of its factory and
offices. No sooner had the flames
been subdued than the work of restora
ton commenced and theC Company by
prudent foresight, having had stored
in outside warehouses duplicate ma
chinery, labels and supplies of raw
materials in preparation for any
emergency vas enabled by energetic
management to resume manufacture
ing within a very few days after the
fire, thereby causing its customers
but a trifing delay in the filling of
their orders. Had the Company
not been so prepared the delay
would required months of time to
get new machinery.

goods manufactured by this COM
pany were first placed on the mar
ket, to DIR. Price being due the dis

MICH COWS,

next step is to secure good mich
cows. This is a difficult matter.
First-cIass mich COWS are not very
plentiful and often it will be better
to raise than to purchase them.
Many good qualities are combined
in the first-class COW, chief among
which are docility, strong constitu-
ton, good appetite, perfect udder
and teats, large milk veins, free
and large flow of milk up to the
time of her calving. There are
many cows that have one or two
of these qualities and but few that
possess the whole of them. Most
COWS begin to fail in milk when
their calves are weaned and not a
few dry up when they are bred.
There is much in breeds but our ad-
vice to the farmer is to select the one
he most fancies. He will be apt to
like it best and take the better care
of his choice. There are good COWS
of all colors and breeds and singu-
larly enough the first-class COW is
not a natural but an artificial pro-
duct; hat is, she is the result of the
care and training bestowed upon
her. Almost any heifer, the product
of parentage possessed of good dairy
qualities, can be taken when giving
birth to her first calf and be handled,
trained and fed for a milch COW, CIV
ing a goodly quantity Of milk up to
the time of dropping her second calf,
say from 10 to Is months. She will
not do this on straw or corn-stalks,
or upon pickings in overgrazed pas
lures. She must have plenty Of
nutritious nourishment without the
labor of huntingi it up. She should,
to do her best, have mill feed or
grain twice a day with vegetables
and green soil if they can be had
when not enjoying the run of luxu-
RANT pasturage. There should be
also regular systematic and clean
milking. The very last possible
drop should be taken away from
her. N~eglecting any of these pre-
cautions she is almost certain to go
dry. The reason is obvious. She
has a fGtus to support in addition
to giving milk. With all that can
be done good mich COWS seldom
drop large calves. The quantity of
the milk given by a good cow while
carrying a calf is scarcely ever as
great as Immediately after calving,
but if she is properly attended to, it
will be richer in butter fats. Farm
ers' families use much milk. When
of good quality it is the best of
foods. Great care should therefore
be bestowed upon its production and
management. There are four dairy
breeds-Guernseys, Ayrshires, Hol-
stems and Jerseys. The Shorthorns
are a beef-producing breed but &C.
casionally a good mich cow is to be
found among them. If a farmer
wants meat as well as milk he will
prefer a good Shorthorn. For our
part we prefer Jerseys or high grade
Jerseys (by which latter we mean
the product of thoroughbred and
registered Jersey bulls) for the
following eason :: Their milk is
rich and palatable. They furnish a

The q Cure.

Laughter has often dissipated disease
and preserved life by q sudden effort
OF nature. We are told that the great
Erasmus laughed so heartily at a
satyrical remark that he broke a tumor
and recovered his health. In a singular
treatise on Laughter Joubert gives
two similar instances. A patient be-
ing very low the physician, who had
ordered a dose Of rhubarb, counter
manded the medicine, which was left
on the table. A monkey in the room,
jumped up, discovered the goblet, and
having tasted made a terrible grimace.
Again putting only his tongue to it, he
perceived some sweetness OF the dis
solved mama, while the rhubarb had
sunk to the bottom. Thus embold-
ened he swallowed the whole, but
foundit sucha nauseous potion that,
after many strange and fantastic
grimaces, he ground his teeth in
agony, and in a violent fury threw the
goblet on the floor. The whole affair
was so ludicrous that the sick man
burst into repeated peals OF Laughter,
and the recovery Of cheerfulness led ~
health.
