FACTS FOR DAIRY BREEDERS.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. Is, 1898.
Pay for milk according to its quality as
well as quantity is likely to be the system
adopted by most if not all, of the factor
les IN this state and those adjoining IN
the near future. The best class of COWS
under the system will be of course, those
which give the largest amount of milk
containing the greatest amount of butter
fat. Some cows will give large GUAM
tlty OF mllk containing but a small amount
OF butter tat. Ia general the COW which
gives the least milk all the season has the
greatest amount of butter fat In her milk
and Will pay best If quality is paid for
A majority of the farmers of Manito-
woe comfy feed COWS to give a large
amount of milk for few months in the
year. Reverse the method and procure
cows which Will give certain amount of
milk during at least ten months of the
year and the herd will pay a larger div1-
dend. The facto, y man will also be salts
hed TO have this system adopted. The
farmer will then have the cows
with quantity and quality combined.
From my experience in ManitowCsc
county, should say there are hardly Il,
herds of COWS of this soft inside It's
boundaries. 10 cheesemakers | should
say, that before starting factories this
spring move your whey tanks at least 100
feet from factories. The sour smell
causes good milk to become off Favored
See that all your factory operatives are
clean and also that the floor of your vat
room does not leak ana cause ferment
which may give your curd an off flavor
and result In sour cheese.

RAPID BREITHING As 4 REMEDK.

About fifteen years ago Mai. Gen.
| Drayson of the British Army often
suffered, especially at night, from IL
severe pain in the region of the heart
| He believed he was doomed to die
soon of heart disease. About that
time certain of his experiences in the
mountains of India led him to think
| that his heart pain might be due to
| insufficient oXygenation of the blood.
! He therefore tried to relieve it by
breathing rapidly-at the rate of
about forty breaths a minute. In q
few seconds the pain ceased, and did
not return that night.
| After that he says he always resort
ed to the same eXpedient, and inVari-
| ably with success. As time went on
| the pain became not only less frequent
but less severe, and now if there is the
| slightest indication of it rapid breath
! ing prevents its arrival at maturity.
! He therefore brings forward many
instances in support of his belief that
some of the advantages of moderate
! exercise are to be gained by simply
breathing rapidly. Rapid breathing
| is an effect of exercise, and this is
| beneficial because the rapid breathing
gives the blood plenty of oxygen.
exercise can obtain some of its good
effects by deliberately passing much
pure air through the lungs. Rapid
breathing is particularly helpful in
cases of sleeplessness and restlessness.
! The air must of course be pure, else
rapid breathing can have no good eff
fects. Hundreds of thousands attri-
butte disease to themselves when
nothing is wrong except their habit
of breathing air impure from tobacco
! smoke, gas burning or simply from Il
/ lack of ventilation.
/ Impure air makes impure blood and
impure flesh. Thus those who con-
sumo such air fall quickly into and
/ before disease. They cannot endure
an open window or door, because they
| feel cold, this sense of GOODNESS being
in many cases simply symptom that
! the blood has been Initiated by the
breathing of poisonous air.
To breathe air laden with human
exhalations is not a whit more sensi-
| BILE, as Gen. Drayson observes, than
to drink liquid sewage for beverage.

HE LOVED CHILDREN.

A man with three children entered
Il restaurant in German town, and
after they were all seated he said,
Now, children, are you hungry ?"
Yes
Would you like some sausages p
"Yes, yes
Waitress, bring three sausages--
two for myself-that makes five. All,
l have forgotten the bread. Waitress,
some bread. Now eat away"
There was solemn jingling of
knives and forks, and sausages were
demolished and the chiidren's faces
were all over smiles.
Enjoy it, eh ?"
Like some more sausages ~
Eyes, yes"
Waitress, two or three more sau-
sages."
These, too, vanished. The guest
ordered some beer, having drunk
which he took his hat and stick and
said to the children
Now you must be very good and
quiet. shall be back directly. l am
only going to get some cigars"
''All right :"
Five minutes passed, a quarter of
an hour. half an hour. Then the land
lord said to the children
Your father is long time in COM

HE is not our father! We were
playing outside when the man came
up to us and asked us if we would like
some sausages. We all shouted Yes,

why, Bridget, did mamma have
another husband before she married

F4NCY WORK THE RAGE.

The habit of fancy work is by no

He will see small damsels who have

women pin over their shoulders or to
