THE FRENCH SENSATION.
Republicanism Strengthened by
Santos Terrible Crime.
Carnot's Great Work for National Integ-
rity-Casimir-Periera Worthy Success
sor of the Murdered President
What Italy May Do.
Especial Letter. I

When Sig. francesca Crispi, the
Italian premier, was attacked last
month at Rome by fanatical anarch-
list, organized lawlessness all over
the world predicted that the attempted
assassination was but the beginning of
series of horrible crimes When,
few days later. Cesario Santo stabbed
and killed President Sadi-Carnot at
Lyons the police authorities of Europe
began to believe that the information
ais had really begun their crusade of
determination. 1t is doubtful if any
body of men is as well organized as are
the anarchists of Europe. In secret
conclave they select members on whom
falls the duty of removing obnoxious
statesmen and executive officers. When
captured, the avengers rarely betray
their coconspirators. Doubtless tho
assassin of President Carnot acted
finder orders when he killed his
victim. The crime had been
planned for him by the lead
ers of his group; but when he is placed
on trial he will claim that he acted ON
his own responsibility. Law may sus-
pect a conspiracy, but unless Santo is
made Of other stuff than most anarch-
lists he will not betray his associates.
He will ascend the scaffold with
bravado and claim in fervent speech
that he is sacrificed to perpetuate
tyranny and oppression. And just as
long as designing leaders can humbug
their tools anarchy will flourish in the
countries of Europe. Nothing will re-
store security on the continent but the
passage of laws making the preaching
of anarchy crime and subjecting the
followers of the doctrine to severe pun
fshment. But such regulations must
be adopted simultaneously by all the
governments of Europe. An anarchist
is an enemy to progress and order, and
not entitled to the right of asylum in
any civilized state.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

THE progressive dairyman will feed
grain in summer, at least when the
pastures fail.
KEEP only good cows, and feed only
the best feed That is the way to re.
duce the cost of production.
WHEN you milk, milk. Talk poll.
tics, crops and finance with your
neighbor at some other time.
GREEN oats make a superior late
fall and early winter feed for the COW,
says an experienced dairyman-
Cows are not intended for trotting.
Teach the boy that fact Never per
NIT him to drive a COW faster than q
walk.
THE cow is subject to liver troubles
and when she is thus suffering the
milk may be bitter. May apple root i.
a proper medicine in such cases
A TABLESPOONFUL of powdered salt
peter dissolved in q pailful of water
to be drank by the cow, is recon
mended for garget- Keep water from
the animal until she is very thirsty
Repeat every day for several days

The New President.s supporter..

Chief among the new presidents sup
porters is M. Challemel-Lacour, presi-
dent of the senate and one of the most
patriotic statesmen of the republic. NJ.
LacouT was himself candidate for the
presidency, but he was nevertheless
one of the first to assure his successful
rival of earnest support. M. Dupuy,
the last prime minister under Carnot
and Perier's most formidable opponent
in the national assembly, has also
swallowed his modification for the
sake of his country. The only protest
against Perier's election came from the
socialists, who consider it a reactionary
victory, and the extreme clericals, who
are not in sympathy with the repub-
lican programme of severing all con-
nection between church and state. The
anarchists, of course, denounce the
election, as they have every act Of the
government since the downfall of the
empire. In foreign capitals Perier's
victory has been received with IN.

THE FARMING WORLD.
PLEA FOR WIDE TIRES.
Why It Would Pay Our Farmers to Re
construct Their Wagons.

Why 1t Would Pay Our Farmers to Re-
construct Their Wagons
By the use of vehicles as they are
now constructed the roads are spoiled
even in dry seasons. as the narrow
emitting wheel will grind the surface
of the road to dust. Wheels with tires
ten and twelve inches wide cannot
grind the road, therefore not make SO
much dust, and the little dust which
will be created will, with every rain,
be pressed upon the road like q layer
Of asphalt.
Every rain and every load will help
to pack the surface of the highway
more firmly. The farmer will be able
to draw his loads at any time of the
year and not depend half as much on
the weather as he now does.
The meanest roads we have in win
ter, when after a spell of rainy weather
frost sets in. Then our roads are a
veritable torture to man and beast, all
the natural consequence of our present
fashionable vehicles. If they only had
reasonable under carriage with
wheels wide enough and arranged as a
roller in sections, we would not have
to endure such awful roads.
Very often in winter we have rainy
weather turning all at once into snow.
By the use of wagons as they now are
snow and mud are mixed in the most

French citizens Italy is aroused over
the alleged shabby and cruel treat

observers should keep their eyes on

campaign against the 'internationa1s'
is among the early possibilities. just
now I wish to join the great body of
cosmopolitan citizens who, with one
voice, are congratulatiug the French
republic on its real stability. Eight
years ago the assassination of a presi-
dent would have been the signal for q
revolution. Orleanists and Bonapart-
lists, clericals and socialists, would have
foHght for supremacy on the streets of
Paris. France was then divided into
innumerable factions, each one clamor-
ing for a change. When Jules Grevy
was forced by public sentiment to re-
sign the presidency the end of the re-
public seemed imminent. Fortunately
the national assembly, majority of
whose members were patriots, had the
good sense to place country above
party. They abandoned their flavor
ties" early in the struggle and united
with the conservative republicans for
the purpose of electing Sadi-Carnot
president of the republic We have
heard that Carnot was not a brilliant
man. that he lacked magnetism and
partisan fervor. Perhaps these esti-
mates were true, but it cannot be de-
MED that he was the man of the hour
the only leader who could have pre-
served the stability of the republic.

Some Interesting Questions and Answs
from an English Journal.


Some Interesting Questions and Answers
from an English Journal
The following questions and an
swers are taken from the London
Dairy, and will be of interest to those
who have more than once asked: why
is this done?''
Why should the udder OF the COW and
the hands of the mixer be made as
clean as possible before milking? To
keep bacteria from getting into the
milk.
Why should the milk be removed
from the stable as soon as possible aft
er milking? To prevent absorption
of any odors of the stable.
Why should milk not be put, at once
after milking, into closely-covered
cans? Because by SO doing odors are
retained in the milk.
Why should milk that is to be set for
cream in covered cans or put into cans
for immediate delivery be aerated? To
remove the animal and other odors
from the milk.
Why should milk be set as soon as
possible? To stop the action of bac-
terra.
Why should the temperature of the
milk be reduced as quickly as possible
for Dreaming? To prevent the forma-
ton and the growth of bacteria
Why should the milk that is to be
set for cream be agitated no more than
is necessary before setting? Because
agitation favors the formation of
fbrin.
Why should milk pals, pans. cans,
churns and every utens1 used in the
dairy be kept most carefully clean?
Solely to keep out bacteria.
Why is cream ripened before churn-
ing? To develop flavor and render
churning easier.
Why should the ripening process OF
cream not be allowed to continue too
long? To prevent the development OF
bacteria that produce offensive prod
ucts, such as bitterness, and destroy
aroma.
Why should a thermometer be used
at every step of the process of making
butter? To be sure the temperature
is the one desired at each stage or di-
vision of the work.
Why does cooling the milk prevent
or retard souring? It retards growth
| in bacteria.
Why do milk and cream sour less
rapidly in winter than in summerf
| There are fewer bacteria in the air
and the temperature is lower.
Why does the ripening of cream
make it churn more easily? The al
luminous matter of cream is rendered
| less tenacious.
Why does milk become sour? BAG
terra changes sugar into Tactic acid.
Why should the room in which milk
is set be made perfect in its sanitary
conditions, such as good ven tilation
cleanliness of floors, wall, etc, free
dom of bad odors, ETC.? To keep out
undesirable bacteria and keep prod
ucts free from bad odors.
Why is butter worked? To lessen
the percentage OF water and casein.
Why does the presence of casein il
the butter injure it? It affords nourish
ment to bacteria, which causes butte,
| to decompose.

How to Make an Evaporator.

To make a homemade evaporation,
according to one who has tried it, first
get four strips of board about one inch
thick and three inches wide. Nail these
together in the shape of box just
large enough to cover the range. Then
take piece of wire screen cloth such
as is used for window screening, just
large enough to cover the box and
come up on the sides about one inch.
then fasten it securely with taclzs- AT
each corner of the frame make holes
large enough to insert very large wires,
which will answer for legs SO the box
may stand firmly upon the top of the
range. The wires or legs may be just
as long as one wishes. In warm
weather there may be shorter ones
used than in cooler weather when the
FIRE is hotter; seven inches is about
about right

Frirhtened with Reports.

Published accounts state that some
English purchasers of American APP
pies became badly frightened by re-
ports that child had been poisoned
by eating American fruit It turned
out to be as groundless as the absurd
reports of a year or more ago. The
government had analyses made, and
the government analyst could find
nothing. A portion of the Baldwin
apple which was asserted to have poi
soned the child was fed to a mouse.
but no effect was produced A small
mouse. it viii be observed, is only a
thousandth part of the weight of a
child, and therefore mouse would de-
tect thousandth part of the poison
which would affect a human being.

oress the market of American fruit

thorough way and there is no thought
of s1eighing under such conditions.
Widetired wagons will press the
snow down firmly on the road and
soon make good sleighing.
These roller wagons will improve the
roads instead of destroying them.
Every load which is drawn over the
road will work out a certain amount
of road tax. The cost of repairing the
roads would be greatly reduced. If we
maintain a proper side grading toward
the bitches, SO that the water will
easily run into them, and if we rake
the stones once year out of the road
the repairing is done.
We have until now always thought
the only way to improve the roads
would be to use telford or macadam
for our country; but few have thought
where The root of the evil lies. Let
us above all things first improve
our vehicles. This will be the
proper thing to do. And then let us
also push forward to do every
thing in our power that telford and
macadam roads may be constructed
whenever practical throughout our
country. But even these stone roads
are not able to Withstand the abuse
which they have to sustain from mar
row tires as now used on our vehicles.
In Germany, France and Switzerland
the smallest tires are two inches wide,
the widest six inches, and there the
telford and macadam roads are re-
paired all through the year. They
have the very strictest laws concern
ing the roads and everything belong
ing to them. SO that they may not be
torn up or spoiled, nevertheless they
have to keep repairing them constantly.
What damage would our wagons do to
those European roads?
Therefore, would it not be the cheap
est, the best, the quickest and most
economical way to reconstruct our
wagons?
By all means let it be tried.-Rev.

Fact for pairrmen.

A good COW, intended for a large
yield of milk, should not be valued fol
the amount of beef she will make al
some future time. Keep her in full
flow of milk, and she will produce
enough milk extra to compensate fol
any loss from beef. The greatest loss
is in not feeding foods that increase
the WELD. Variety is better than q
steady diet. Get all the milk possible
from a COW during the days of hel
usefulness by intelligent manage
ment, and then future beef may be
considered.
