SUGGESTIONS ON MILKING,

In the course of demonstration on
butter making, Mr. Thos. Smith, dairy
instructor for the Butte County Coun
Gil, Kan, delivered an address OF which
the following is an extract:
One of the first and most important
elements in the manufacture OF butter
liz the proper treatment of the dairy
COW. I am afraid hat or a great many
farms that is a matter which does not
receive that careful attention which 1t
uud ,ubtedIy deserves, but, on the con
trarv. it is often undertaken in a SLOW
enlv and ~haphazard way. L. Is to be
feared that generally too little attention
is paid both to the housing of the cattle
and to their proper feeding and treat
ment. To milk a COW ''clean" has al
ways been the ambition Of the mixer,
and when the end was attained he was
perfectly satisfied. But to milk a COW
in a clearly way, although of equal i'm
portance, did not, in a large percent
age of cases, come within the scope OF
his consideration. l have, for example,
again seen good dairy COWS quite spoiled
through bad and careless milking, and
have been quite astonished to learn
how few mixers comparatively there
are who understand anything about
the cows udder or milk vessel. A
word or two on this point may not be
out of place.
The udder of the cow is divided into
two chambers by an imperious mem
brane. This dividing substance runs
in the same direc ion as the backbone
and the milk from one chamber cannot
pass INTO the other. For this season 1t
Ia advisable thai the mixer should Ope,
rate, say, on the front and hind teats
on the side next to him, and having
Omptled one chamber of the cows yes
sci should then proceed with the other.
This is not however the general prac
tiee. It is customary, l believe, TO
operate on the teaCs Of different cham
bers simultaneously, on the ground
that that method of procedure per
serves the natural state of the udder,
whereas such a contention is quite con
trary to fact. l am fully persuaded
that the method of milking-accOrdlng
to this nOtIon-is mainly responsible
for much of the malfOrmatIon in the
adder of so many COWS. This of course
is a great evil, as it detracts from the
appearance of the animals and lowers
their money value when offered for
GALE.

FORSYTH COUNTY ALLIANCE.

The Old Time Interest Being Aroused So
New Members Coming In.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Forsyth County held
it's regular quarterly session on the
18th and 18th of January, with Pleasant
Ridge Sub Alliance, No. $50.
Some times it seems we have been at
the low water mark in this county, but
| think all Indications point to a rise
IN the near future. The Old time inter
est seems to be revived again. Some
limitations are coming III; one SUB
rporganlzed and others calling for an
organizer, so | think we will soon rally
again.
We adopted the plan proposed by
Bro. Worth relative to shipping eggs
and made arrangements for Immediate
shipments.
The following preamble and resolu
tiOns were adopted unanimously and
ordered published, and we hope before
the next campaign opens every County
and Sub Alliance in the State will pass
similar resolutions:
WHEREAS, All wealth is the product
of labor and the labcring class COZ
stitute nine tenths of the population of
our col try and whereas, the salaries
of our State and county officers are
paid by our deprecated labor, and are
the same to day that they we're twenty
years ago, if not higher; and whereas.
money has been increasing in value or
its purchasing power in proportion as
labor and its produces have decreased
and in consideration of the terrible
stringency of the times.
The time has arrived for making a
change in the expenditures of public
moneys in the way of salaries of our
State and county officers; therefore
RESOLVED, That we will vote for no
man for the legislature who will not
pledge himself on the anvas to work
for the reduction of fees and salaries
of our State and county officers SO per
cent E A CONRAD. Sec'y.

touch with the great masses a OF
his long residence among the pluto
cratic element; who has not stood
~souarely by the Democratic platform
on the question of tariff reform, but
favors a measure that is thoroughly
protective, thus failing to meet the de-
.mands and expectations of the people;
who now favors bond issues, thus pleas
ing the money element-the man who
can do these and other obnoxious, cen
surable acts, is not the man we so
heartily indorsed and whose cause we
so warmly espoused in 1892. AS honest,
independent. truth-loving Democrats,
we cannot sincerely and rightly indorse
these things that President Cleveland
has done. He shows he is not now the
man we took him TO be less than two
years ago Weehave no apologies to
make for our support of him, which
was so warmly and sincerely given,
without desire or hope of reward. We
feel ~regrettul, and deplore the infatua-
tiOn and departures of the man from
the high plane upon which we and so
many others thought him to move.
One of the MODEST of living North
CaroliniaDs has recently written this
TO us in a private letter. 1t is from a
Christian gentleman, aman of singular
purity and good abilities, who has been
one of Cleveland's greatest and most
unfoltering admirers. He said:
Il have been very much entertained
and instructed by your editorials, and
especially pleased with those touching
upon the question of reform within the
party. l confess that I am disheart,
ened and wellnigh hopeless of anything
substantial and of real advantage com
ing from the present administration.
I have for ten years been an admirer
and almost unquestioning follower Of
Mr.. Cleveland, but | fear that he lived
too much in touch with the classes and
out Ct touch with the masses. No man
can long serve the real interests Of the
people who lives in a great city and
sees and talks only with the favored
few. I still think Mr.. @. is honest, but
1 do not think he is In sympathy with
US. OF course no n man OF set Of
men, by treachery to the principles and
platform Of their party should ALLEVIATE
others from their devotion to their con-
victions, or the party organization, but
it may become a very serious question
whether men can follow leaders who
have departed from the faith and gone
after strange and dangerous heresies."

POLITICALLY RETROSPECTIVE.

The Messenger warmly supported
In 1892. 1t did it unselishly for it had
no favors to ask. 1t believed in hls
wisdom, honesty, capacity and patriot
ism. 1t thought HIM a true Democrat
in it's highest sense. It believed hIm to
be In touch with the peOple-the friend
Of the burdened and oppressed. 1t did
not believe In the least in the charges
against HIM Of leaning to the Money
Power. IL preferred him to his great
rival because IL believed he was a . Ii
tiCian and statesman OF a higher ty pc,
was opposed 20 all machine methods,
and Was a safer, wiser man. He had
been tested by four years of Office as
President. When he went IN he made
some painful bIunders that showed him
Ignorant of SCaCecratG, not altogether
q Democrat, and with immense will
power and self reliance. In many edI
tOrials we commented with disaproba
ton upon some things he did AS the
months passed he learned by expert
snce, and became certainly more Dem
cratic with wider knowledge. The Mes
Seng0T nc doubt moderated the ability
of Hill, and did him injustice in so far
as his moral Qualities and personal Wiz
tues are concerned. So far as we can
learn he has as pure a private life as
any man, no stain of gross lmmorall,
ties rests upon his good name. Our OBJ
lection to him no. Is mainly his advo
eaey Of gold, his ~favoring the British
gag law, and his Identification with
1.-The machine" Very grave objections
surely, and If well founded, fatal OBJ
jectiOns.
Is is not our fault surely if we have
been deceived in Mr.. Cleveland. We
trusted him u~nreservedly, and if he
has not measured up and me the high
responsibilities Of his great Office as we
expected, we feel that the fault lies at
his door. We would not for a duke
dom sustain a bad action knowingly.
Not being politicians and o-fice-seekers
we are not sycOphants and needy axe
grinders w, praise willingly, gladly
when we Can w always prefer to
praise than to ceneure. But we must
be loyal to the truth and to our own
convictions, whatever fate betides us.
Cleveland in 1894 is not the man We
supposed him to be in 1892. The man
who put a POpulist in the highest place
In his Cabinet; who ran with the gold,
bugs IN all their demands; who ignored
q part of h law of the party and
helped to demonetize silver. the coir
of the Constitution; who appointed &c
O. very high Office Van Allen, who had
given $50, 900 To elect him. and gave Il
