IF doctor makes mistake he buries
it, if a merchant makes a mistake he
never tells it, if a lawyer makes mis-
take he crawls out of it, but if an editor
makes mistake he puts it on sheet of
paper for the world to look at and in
every community there are cranks who
think that they are models of wisdom be-
cause they occasionally discover it.-Ex-

THE Board of Health is possessed of
pretty arbitrary powers, but these do not
extend to the settlement of riparian

fill out lot, as on Park street, dam up
the water, ETC., in other localities. Surely
some one should see that the corporation
is protected.
j. C. COLGATE has lately purchased a
fine herd of Jerseys, and his farmer, Mr..
w. G. Appleby, tells us that they were
all tested and pronounced free from tu-
bercolosis by the New Y DIRK State author
tiles. The Jerseys won the highest pre-
miums at the Worlds fair in 1898, in COM
petition with other breeds. OF these
tests Bulletin No. g." says: These
tests gave to the cows and breeds partic-
ipating therein an opportunity to demon

were not tests of few days or a week,
but so prolonged that they exhibited to

practical dairyman is not keeping COWS
for what they can accomplish in week,
on forced diet, but rather what they
are capable of doing throughout the
whole year, under rational feeding, and
what the met profit is which they will

Showing the greatest net profit" The
COWS and breeds were credited with Their
products and debited with their feed
