Beauty Blends with Butter.

Beauty Blends with Butter.
In all the old biographies New
York was, among other things, put
down as the first State in its dairy
products, says the Press. Its excel
lence in dairy farming was due to the
character of its inhabitants, who were
largely Dutch and large consumers Ell
butter and cheese to the extensive
cattle grazing meadow lands in such
counties as Herkimer, Delaware,
Dutchess, and Onondaga, and to the
growth of its great cities. The State
produced more and better butter and
cheese than all the balance OF the
country, and the Southern and West
ern farmers sent to the State for the
best brand of cattle as the merchants
came to the city to buy their best
goods. A farmer in Illinois or Vir-
ginia, when he had bought a Jersey
or Guernsey heifer or bull from New
York, generally advertised the fact
in his local paper and his neighbors
usually called in great numbers to
see this improved example OF the
bovine kind.
New York has exercised as great
influence over the dairy interests of
this country as Kentucky has over
the raising of fine horses, or Ohio
and Illinois on sheep husbandry.
But few years ago the New York
Dairymen's Association began to real
ize the fact that the State was losing

1t happened that / was stopping at
a summer boarding house up in the
Catskills for a few days where an old
maid boarder had located herself and
her three cats for the season. The
children in the house, from the
youngest to the oldest, had led the
three cats such dance that the fe-
lines were justified in wishing during
their waking moments that they were
dead.
1t had kept the old lady on the
lump to keep her cats out Of the
children's hands during the day and
to protect them at night they had to
be locked up in her room. Thus

NATURAL GAS.
A Brief History of the Rise and FAN oil
This Fuel.

a Brief History OF the hisc anu ran Oh
This Fuel.
The history Of the rise OF natural
gas for manufacturing purposes In
Pittsburg is an interesting one, says
the Chronicle Telegraph of that city.
1t was about the middle of May,
1884, when it displaced coal in the
first iron mill in this city. The first
of that month it was used for the
first time in an extensive industrial
works, in the O'Hara glass house at
Thirtieth street and the Allegheny
Valley Railroad About the fifteenth
of the month it took the place OF
5000 bushels of coal in the Carnegie
mill at Twenty street. Not I'M
Til early in November was it intro
duced in the mill of this firm at
Thirty-third street, where 1t took the
place of 1000 bushels of coal daily.
While the use of natural gas was
very satisfactory, the slowness at
tending its introduction was remark
able. 1t was about the middle Of
the summer Of 1885 before it was
used in half of the iron and steel
works in the Pittsburg district, and
it was fully three years before it took
the place of coal in all of them.
There was considerable trouble in
securing manufacturers to make the
change. The low rate offered to the
firms was not so much of an object as
the room saved by absence of ashes.
There was no trouble in recon
structing the furnaces from coal to
the use of natural gas, yet this re-
tarded its early Use somewhat.
Among the first along the Monon-
gahela River to adopt it was Jones &
Laughlins, in the winter of 1884, in
the American Iron Works. To
guard themselves against possible
trouble they only remodeled por-
ton of their works. About six
months after it was used with salts
faction in these works it was used in
all the mills along this river and the
Ohio, excepting in those Of the Oliver
Iron Company.
Beginning with 1889, the gradual
abandonment OF natural gas in the
local mills where natural gas is still
being used in pudding furnaces are
those of A. Nj. Byers & Co., Tug &
Co., Brown & Co., and the Carnegie
mill at Thirty-third street These
four mills run 1852 furnaces of this
kind, besides the heating furnaces
and the tube works of the firm first
named. There are few mills in
which gas is still used in the heating
furnaces, but altogether it has al
ready given away to fully 100000
bushels of coal daily.
The idea that the supply of natur-
al gas would never be exhausted was
only entertained for about year
from 1887 to 1888. After that there
were many evidences that the supply
would not hold out. During this
year there were some firms who be-
came imbued with the idea that all
they had to do was to dig well any
where and they could soon getenough
gas to supply them. There very few
accidents in any of the mills caused
by gas

therefore exhausted many large farms
to such a,degree that butter produc-
ing was not even profitable. Plant
food is the hardest of all foods TO re-
store to the soil. Grain food is easily
shipped, but grain food does not pro-
duce milk. Its function is making
beef. and beef and milk will not mix
in the same animal, therefore, there
was but one way for the New York
dairy farmer to meet the problem that
poor farms, ordinary cows and ex-
travagant feeding had brought upon
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1893-01-14

Holstein cattle. They are certainly
more beautiful than either of tbA
other breeds.
A half dozen of these beautiful cat
tie were on exhibition at the recent
food exhibit at Madison Square Gar
den. They were the property OF
Vice President Morton, and certainly
were one of the chief attractions OF
the fair. Every lover of the COW and
those who cared nothing for the cow
gathered about these beautiful and
gentle creatures which Mr.. Morton

him, and that was to produce COW
that, being fed upon the minimum of
plant food, would produce the max
imum of butter and cheese. The
farmers knew it was easier to produce
a fine mixer than to restore the yir-
gin resources of nature, for a fine
cow or fine horse is distinctly a
product of civilization and culture,
while nature, once robbed Of its
yirginity, can never be entirely re-

The WiXes of Rnrca.

In the valley of the Barca in Abys-
sinia there is, according to a recently
returned traveller, a community
where the women, without holding Il
meeting or agitation of any kind, have
emancipated themselves. All the
women work hard while the men are
idle, but by way Of compensation the
house and all it contains belongs to
the wife. At the least unkind word
she turns the husband out at night,
in storm or rain, and he can't come
back until he makes amends by the
gift of a COW. The wife considers it
a duty to abuse the husband, and if
she were weak enough to show any
love for him in life or grief at his
death she would be scOrned by her
tribe. The wife, without any reason,
may strike her tent and go, taking
with her one-third Of the Joint Dos.
sessions. The husband, unless he is
travelling, may not live out Of his
tent, but the wife may go TO her par
ents for yearand annul for the time

In all Of this the secret u enamel
patton toward which women are
blindly struggling Is hidden. The
emancipation OF the wife comes only
when she entirely supports her lord
and master thus rendering herself

offered to take his release and even stood
willing to pay something for it. He was
refused. Now he will get that $4,000 or
know the reason why. When he signed the
two years contract he was paid q. 900 cash, one
half Of which was to be deducted from the
$4,000 each wear. Last fail Wagner held back
his salary and took out the entire $1,000. Danny
