cold weather comes, if the feed is
plentiful and of good quality, the
milk is always richer than during
warm weather. This is not surprls-
ing. Cold weather for large ami
mails that have good shelter is better
for fattening. 1t is only young and
small animals that suffer from cold
if i'll fed. Those fully grown have
better appetites, as the cold air sup
plies more oxygen and increases the
amount OF food that the animal can
digest in greater proportion than its
effect in lessening animal heat. This
suggests that the larger breed OF
dairy COWS are better for breeding in
cold climates than small COWS like
the Jersey The latter are natives
of the warm Channel Islands, and
do not endure severe cold as do
larger breeds Amer. Cultivator.

SENDING MONEY BY MAIL.

If a bill must be sent in a letter, the
safest plan is to roll it tightly in the
shape OF lamplighter and lay it in
the fold of the sheet enclosed. Ar
ranged in that fashion, the fact that
it is money cannot we'll be distin-
guished by the feel" A thread with
a knot at the end will not be so like
ly to fetch a tell tale fragment of the
fibre paper when drawn by means of
a needle through the envelope, and
the smell of it will be less percept-
ible. So peculiar is the effluvium be-
longing to bank or treasury notes
that experts at the bureau OF en-
craving say that they can dis
tinguish them, when sealed in
envelopes, by the nose every time. A
thief once showed to government
detectives, who had caught him
that he could pick out from pile
of 400 letters every one of sever
which contained paper cash, blind
folded, merely by scent.

FINE QUALITY DAIRY EXHIBITS.

Vermont may be behind some
other states in the average yearly
product of milk per COW, but our
state makes up in quality in this
direction, as in others, for what she
lacks in quantity. E. A. Harris of
Boston, who was one of the judges
of the dairy exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, has just returned from the
exhibit and it is an interesting story
that he tells about the comparison OF
Vermont butter with that of the
other states. There have been dur
ing the months of the Fair, four diff
ferent exhibits of dairy products, one
in June, one in July, another in Sep
TENDER and still another in October,
and IN speaking Of the whole exhibit
of butter since the Fair opened, Mr..
Harris says that New England has
fed in the last three exhibits, the but
ter coming from the Moulton Broth
er's dairy in Vermont leading the
whole country. This butter, it will
be remembered, took the first prize
also at the Paris exhibition. In the
sum total of points for the whole of
four exhibits from the different
states, although the final score is
not yet officially announced, New
Hampshire leads, Connecticut is
second and Vermont is third, glor-
ious record for New England.

THE GREATEST BEE FAMILY

There lives in Beeville, Bee county,
Tex, Mrs. Jennie Atchley, the most
extensive breeder of queen bees in the
world. She is SO years old, and the
mother of eight children, who with
her do all the work of her large
apiary. She has between 800 and
1000 colonies of bees, devoted exclu-
sively to queen rearing, and she has
sold about 5000 queens this season.
She receives orders from all parts OF
the globe. Two came recently from
New Zealand and from queensland
one for half a dozen queens and the
other for 20 pounds worth of queens.
All the children took naturally to
bees, while one little fellow, Ives
Atchely, is pictured taking a bite of
honey while blowing the bees away
from him. He often goes among the
hives, taking out honey without
using smoke or veil. Mrs. Atchley
writes in the Geanings that she has
raised and sold more than 1000
queen bees this year, and expects be-
tore the season closes to pass the
5000 mark. The family apiary con-
sists of 5000 to 1000 stands. Some
single queens Mrs. Atchley values at
500. In proof that this estimate is
not exaggerated it may be added
that she sold $1,000 worth of queen
bees, all the product of one of the
best-bred queens Exchange.

IS THE GOVERNMENT A FAILURE ?

American boys and girls learn very
early that the United States govern
ment is cot the people, by the people,
for the people" This terse and
epigrammatic statement fell from
the lips of the immortal Lincoln, and
any one who would question its
truth would be thought guilty of
something akin to treason. But
when rejecting man looks upon
the farce being enacted in Washing
ton by the senate he is compelled to
restrain himself from asking some
very pointed questions relative to
the stability OF democratic institu-
tons. According to theory, repre-
sentatives of the people are sent to
Washington to consider questions
Of vital Importance to the nation
and to legislate the greatest good
for the greatest number. But in
practice how is it? Here is
minority of the members of the
smallest house of congress stopping
business, defying the country and
deliberately blocking the popular
will.
Suppose the anti-repeal faction Of
the senate succeeds. The country
will then be treated to the spectacle
of the tyranny of minority and the
reversal of the true theory of the
American government. The condi-
tions presented are serious, and a
failure of the senate to pass the
VOORHEES, bill or a discreditable COM
promise with the minority will be
subversive of the powers vested in
congress. The anomaly will be
presented of minority rule in
a popular government and of the
lesser number of the state ruling the
greater number. This view of the
case ought to be presented more
strongly than it has been. 1t will be
a dangerous precedent to establish
if the pro-silver advocates of thu
senate are permitted to override thu
people, the president and the major
ity of congress- Baltimore Herald

EFFECT or STORMS ON MILK Flow.

At this season farmers are used to
having cows experience a rapid
sbrinkage OF milk from the effects Of
storms. Many think this experience
inevitable, but it is by no means SO
II care is taken to iced the cows as
literally as they would be had not
the storms prevailed. Prof. Cooke
states that in some experiments the
milk flow was increased during a
storm, but there was a falling off in
quality. This suggests the idea that
the COW was MIXED during the storm
and more or less rain water found
it's way into the milk pail. When

sued by the board of agriculture
against cattle-poisoning from the
unusual abundance this season of the
crop of acorns, which in the present
dearth of heritage, owing to the last
drought, are certain to be eaten by
stock with avidity. In the years
1868, 1870, and 1884, which were
remarkable for large yield of acorns
after long, dry, and hot summer,
serious losses occurred from out
breaks of what is known as the
acorn disease. Young cattle up to
two years old suffered most severely
Mich cows and cattle over three
years old were seldom affected.
Sheep and pigs appeared to be insus-
Ceptible to the poisonous action OF
the seeds, and only two or three
cases of the disease were reported in
these animals, while entire herds OF
Young cattle were attacked, and q
