A Panacea.

Coldwater Courier: The discussion OF the
silver question on the street corners, and
the back part of the stores, recedes as the
spring work advances. Good, healthy en-
ployment regulates the superfiuous agita-
tion of garrulous people. Work gives them
time to think without being distracted by
the desire to convert the world to their
views, while idleness affords ample time for
words that are not weighted by thought
and fly without purpose, like thistle down.
The good, common sense of the people will
take definite shape in thought during the
summers sowing and gathering, and by the
time the russell leaves of autumn are falling
there will be a gradual merging of incongiu-
Gus theories into settled conviction of what
is most needed by the greatest numbers.
The agitation of the past few months has
been fostered and helped on by those who
are opposed to republican policy for the
sole purpose of diverting attention from the
real cause which brought on the panic, and
for the times in which we now suffer- 1t
was harmless diversion of the enemy, and
may haye blinded the eyes of few with
the sophistry of argument, but the clear
thought and better judgment of the people
will clarity the political atmosphere during
the summer, and the "brown October" days
will bring them together with clear and
settled convictions as to the cause and rem
edy of the times that Cypress, when there
should be an abundance of all the good that
nature provides.

All About "Flavor" IN Butter

1. Is what the market calls flavor and
aroma in butter, the direct influence of the
feed ? Can flavor market kind be secured
by the feed? If so, what rations fed to
cows will give the desired flavor
2. Has butter fat, when first drawn with
milk, any flavor that has resemblance, or
relationship. to the flavor that is found in
the choicest made and high-priced butter?
8. Would indigestion in COW, or her be-
ing unable to digest the ration because so
large in amount, or gluttOny, incident to a
change of food where the amount was I'M
restricted, haye any influence, bad or other
wise, upon the taste of the butter
A. What causes butter at times to have a
taste like the food the cows have eaten?
5. If food is the source of flavor in butter,
as some assert, of what use are starters"
cults, mo. Al" and the like in fine butter
making

The details show that the volume of bust

and nine million dollars less during the first
seven months of the German Tariff than
during the first seven months of the Nc
Kinley Tariff. 1t will be remembered that
the comparison for six months gave loss of
five billion six hundred aud iisty.tiv million
dollars under the present law, but the
seventh month has increased the loss by

Feeding Wheat In tho sheaf.

1t has been shown at q number of the
agricultural experiment stations that
the feeding values of wheat and corn
arc nearly equal for swine, and that in
both cases the values are greater than
the current market price for those grains.
n number of careful feeders among the
farmers observed that when fed wheat
without crushing hogs failed to fully
masticate the grain, and a considerable
loss was sustained through the excretion
OF undigcsted food 1t was found that
the pigs devoured the wheat with such
avidity that proper Inastication was i'm
possible, and to avoid this difficulty the
custom was adopted Of feeding wheat
In the sheaf. 1t was found that the
time consumed in disposing of ration
OF wheat thus administered was much
greater, and that mastication and di-
gestlon were much better performed.
