The man who cares to sell his labor
IN good cash market at good pay
ing price will never go wrong with a
herd of select mich cows. 1t makes
little difference as to the locality, for
the more difficult it is and the more
expensive it is to make good brand
OF bTtt5r O -es4Aeese,-the more money
it will bring every time. Fresh dairy
products will always sell readily for
good money for obvious reasons. 1t
matters but very little either to the
private dairyman who goes about his
business in a businesslike manner
whether he has little competition or
much. His business is not so extern
sive but that he can keep it well in
hand from one years end to the other.
He gets his own customers and he is
able to hold them, that is, provided
he is clean, regular and attentive to
every demand that is reasonably made
upon him. 1t doesn't cut any partic-
ular figure that During May and June
butter may be selling for lower price
than he is asking. That is the season
when butter is the most cheaply
made, and there is more of it on the
market, but if our dairyman has
contract to furnish butter at stated
price the year round to his patrons
he, of course, knows exactly what he
is doing and so do his patrons, and it
is an excellent arrangement for all con-
cerned. He will have stated times for
delivery; he will have plenty of ice
put up; he will always have an abun-
dance of the best and cheapest food
for his cows; he will have a separator
to aid him in doing quick and perfect
work he will have a good breed of
hogs as balance wheel to the dairy
machine, and last, but not least, he
will see to it that all the fertility he
removes from his lands, from whatever
form of cropping he may pursue, is
returned to the soils.
We know of no more complete and
self-sustalning round of duties per-
tanning to any industry than are these
of the dairy, properly carried out.
1t may be that there Will be some buy
ing of food stuffs in one form or an
other, but that will prove no drawback
to the business, but will be actual aid
in preserving the fertility of the farm.
Give us the private dairy for a bus
mess that is uniformly prosperous dur
ing all seasons and all years, if judi
ciously and intelligently managed. =

The following general rules on color
effects in window dressing are tai len
from a trade catalogue:
Red and violet do not accord We'll.
Orange and yellow accord inepm-
parably better than red and orange.
Orange and green do not accord
we'll
Orange and violet accord passably.
Yellow and green form an agree
able combination,
Greenish yellow and violet bend
nicely.
The arrangement of yellow and
blue is more agreeable than that Of
yellow and green, but it is less lively.
Green and blue produce an tndif-
ferent effect, but better when the
colors are deep.
Green and violet especial y when
light, form a combination preferable
to green and blue.
Orange yellow, when placed by the
side Of indigo, increases its intensity,
and vice versa.
Red and green intensity each other.
Yellow and indigo combine per-
fectly
Red and orange do not accord well.
Red and yellow accord pretty well,
e pecially If the red is purple red,
rather than scarlet, and the yellow
rather greenish than orange
Red and blue accord passably, es-
pecially if the red inclines rather TO
scarlet than crimson
Blue and violet accord badly
When two c0lors accord badly to-
gether it is always advantageous to
sepal ate them by white.
Black never produces a bad effect
waen 1t is associated with too amin
Gu, colorS.
Black AMI white sensibly modify
bright colors.
While gray never exactly produces
a bad effect in its associations with
two lum nous colors, yet in most
cases its assortments are dull,
Blue, when placed by the side OF

Many argue that you can't feed fat

that you can't drive it out. You
can drive it out by driving

breeders always water their horses
before feeding and in al the large
stables of horses in this country that
practice is followed. Yet many horse
men and farmers never think of the
advantage and necessity of it. Ii tn
horse could talk, or if man could I'M
derstand him he would ask for drink
the first thing every morning and you
will be surprised how eager he is to
get 1t, whether the weather is cold or
hot. | wonder how many farmers
ever think of watering their horses be-
fore feeding them in the morning or
how much they lose by not doing so.
The horse comes from work at night
gets drink then is fed mostly on dry
grain, eats hay part of the night, and
insthe morning another dry feed, and
by this time is very dry himself, SO
when he reaches water he fills his
stomach SO full that undigested food
is forced out of the stomach, and is

horse. Now try watering one horse
before feeding in the morning, thus
shaking his thirst, and at the same
time washing the stomach ready to re-
ceive the morning feed, when, being
properly moistened with saliva, it will
remain until thoroughly digested
Your horse can do more work on less

The Grant Monument.

1t is expected that the elaborate monu-
ment which is to be erected over the grave
OF Gen. Grant at Riverside Park will be
completed in December, 1895. The granite
used in the construction was found in the
State of Maine. 1t is very light in color, al
most of the tint of marble, without FURNISH
and is of such formation as is believed will
successfully resist for ages the trying varia-
tions of climate.
The hight of the monument will be 165
feet, and will be impressive, because of it's
exquisite architectural effect, and the mas
siveness and appropriateness of the work. II
it is finished at the time the contract calls
for, it will be ready for dedication only a
few months more than the first decade after
Gen. Grants death. The cost will be nearly
100000.
The remains of Gen. Grant now rest in
the commonplace vault where they were
placed soon after his death. A movement
was started to create fund by popular sub
scription for the erection of suitable mOnu-
ment to mark his last resting place. More
than eight years passed, and more than
$4,000 have been raised. Some three years
ago Gen. Porter undertook to raise the neces-
sary money, and in that time more than
$500. 900 were subscribed, which have been

Cremation among the Greeks and Romans.

Cremation among the Greeks and Romans.
Popular Science Monthy.l
The third method of disposing of the
dead is by burning-cremation, as 1t is now
called. Many nations have praoticed burn
ing, the best instances being the Greeks and
the Romans. Among the Greeks both
methods were employ ed-burning and bury
ing; but gradually burning came to be the
popular mode, the reason being that fire
was supposed to purify the celestial part of
man by separating it from the defilements
of the body, and thus enabling it to wing
its fight to purer realms More than the
Greeks the Romans were devoted to the
process of cremation, although in early ages
they buried their dead. Cremation became
general at the end of the Republic, i. e.
shortly before the birth of Christ. Under
the Emperors it was almost universal, but
it gradually disappeared as Christianity
gained sway. The Roman burial rites were
very rigorous and voluminOus. The cere-
mOnial of a modern funeral is as nothing
compared with the Roman ceremonial.
There were the musicians, the players, the
imitator (who personated the dead, the
images of the deceased, the train of slaves
and freedmen, the relatives tearing their
garments and covering themselves with
dust, the funeral Grafton, and the final
obsequies at the pyre. This pyre was built
in the form of an altar of four sides. On 1T
was placed the corpse upon couch. The
eyes of the deceased were opened, the near
relatives kissed the body with tears; and
then, turning away their faces, they applied
the TORCH while upon the burning mass
were cast perfumes Of myrrh and cassla, the
clothes and ornaments of the dead, and
offerings of various kinds At an officers
funeral the soldiers made circuit three
times round the pyre the ensigns reversed,
the trumpets braying and the weapons
clashing. If he had been very popular, the
soldiers cast their weapons upon the burn
ing mass as loving offerings to their dead
commander. the ashes were then gathered
and put into an urn. Thus preserved, they
were deposited in one of those tombs which
still adorn the stately roads of Rome. Often
lamps were kept perpetually burning in the
tomb, while flowers and chaplets were
brought thither, that the dead might be
reminded of the loving memory of the
living
