It seems that one of the trades cycl-
ing has hurt the most, though the fact
has escaped much notice, is that of
the dog-fancier, remarks the New
York Post. The dogs have gone with
the horses, the toy pets as well as the
larger companions Dealers complain
that all demand for their stock has
disappeared, and they blame nothing
but the bicycle. Their idea is that
the women who fondled terriers and
poodles when they had nothing else to
do are now never driven to the last
extremity, because the bicycle is never
exhausted and claims all time not
otherwise occupied; while the animals,
now that they no longer serve a
distinct purpose, are judged only
for the trouble they cause, and
altogether discarded. The larger dogs,
the dealers complain, suffer still more,
because the men who used to take
them on their walks, having ADAM
doned walking for cycling, will not be
bothered with their former compan.
ions, and not only refuse to increase
the demand for these animals, but are
adding to the supply on the market by
getting rid OF those they possess.
"The livery men made up for their
losses by going into the bicycle
business, added the disconsolate dog
fancier who furnished tho foregoing
facts aud theories, ''but we can't.
Raising and selling dogs is no moro
like selling or renting bicycles than it
is like making Watches

The large apple crop this season is
giving employment to great many
idle men in the country. notes the
American Cultivator. Il always makes
good times in fruit.growing region
when the apple crop is o good one.
As an old farmer who had made most
of his money by growing grain once
said: "When get q good apple crop
and sell it the money it brings always
seems as if I had been made present
Of it." This is hardly so now, for be.
sides the cost OF gathering the fruit
and marketing it, there are few places
where fine apples can now be grown
without spraying to destroy insects
and fungus diseases on leaf and fruit.
But even with this extra expense the
apple crop costs less to produce it
than any other. and the profit on it
in q year when the crop is good ia
greater than on any other crop,
There will be good many farm mort
cages reduced this year from apples,
besides which the apple money will
generally pay the store and black
smiths bills and the hired help. II
farmers more generally used their
epple-made profits to grow more
apples, they would make money faster
than they usually do. 1t is a COOL
rule to put money in the business
that makes most money for you.

HOW TO REMOVE RANK FLAVOR.

In reply to the question, How can
/ remove rank grass taste from milk
and butter" the Dairy Editor OF the
Prairie Farmer gives the following bit
Of experience, which may be helpfui
to some of our readers who have pas
lures that are full of weeds. He says:
81 am spending a few weeks in Iowa,
and studying, as usual, dairy problems.
Here in Woodbury. County Is located
Goodrich Brothers Zone OF whom Is
Professor De Witt Goodrich, who are
In the creamery business. They have
spent a great deal Of time In 1nvesti-
eating and trying to get rid Of the disa-
greeable flavor caused by the cows
eating weeds. The milk from many OF
the patrons whose cows were pas
tured on the bottom lands had such
disagreeable flavor that the butter
could hardly be eaten. Last year they
tried pasteurizing the milk, but this
did not entirely remove the trouble.
They have continued their experiments
this season, and have, as they think.
succeeded in discovering method Of
CHLlTely IcmOfihS thNSC SSJSNN~~~~
navors from the butter.
The milk, as it is received at the fac
tory, is carefully examined, and any
that is weedy or strong favored is set
aside and run through the separator
by itself. After separation they add
to the cream two gallons Of water to
one Of cream, and in this water has
been dissolved saltpetre in the proper
ton of a teaspoonful to three gallons.
The water is hot, and in this way they
raise the temperature Of the cream to
16O degrees. They Immediately run the
diluted cream through the separator,
same as IL it was whole milk. They
now have a cream without the least
particle Of weedy favor in it. The
cream is then cooled, turned in with
the rest, and all ripened together. The
result was q perfect butter, without
any disagreeable flavor"
Commenting on the above, the editor
Of the Elgin Dairy Report says: Here
Is an opportunity that will enable our
practical creamery men to make the
same experiments for themselves when
they find they have this same trouble,
which occurs more or less every year
when cattle feed on rank grass and
weeds. We give this for the benefit Of
our readers of that class, and will say
that it certainly will do no harm to try
1t, even If 1t accomplishes no good.
zone of our creamerymen in south
ern Illinois had the same trouble, and
asked our advice on this matter. The
plan we proposed was for him to heat
the milk to 160 or $50 degrees before
running it through the separator and
diluting 1t with about one-quarter
water at the same time. He did this
and found the result was good. Very
little, IL any, of the bad flavor re-
manned. The cream was cooled imme-
diately, and ripened by means Of a
starter"
1.-THE principle practically is the
same as the one used by the Goodrich
Brothers. If any creamerymen are
troubled that way, we would advise
them to undertake one or the other of
the plans and see IL it will work we'll
with them.-Farm, Field and Fireside.

MAGNETIC HAIRr1Ns.

He does not clearly state the object o.
his invention in magnetixing the pins
but 1t is presumed the charged pins are
less liable to come out Of the hair and
be lost, as they are al attracted to-
ward each other when in position. To

against the magnetic force which tends
to keep it in place by attracting 1t to
the remaining pins.

the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis

ly removes. That is why 1t is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed 80 highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal

ONE LESSON OF THE DISASTER.

WIRES IN ALL CITIES SHOULD BE UNDERGROUND
AN EXPERT SAYS.
H. j. Smith, general superintendent OF the EDISON
Illuminating Company Of this city, said last night
zone Of the most important lessons OF the disaster
which devastated a large portion Of the city Of ST.
Louis Is this-that all wires in all cities should De
placed underground. There are In st. Louis TWO OF
the largest electric lighting plants to be found IN the
world. They do practically the entire lighting OK the
city, and Of their circuits are at least eighteen
miles long They have nothing but overhead con-
struction. If they had been forced as we were IN
NewYork several years ago, to bury all their wires
the city would have been spared great many OF the
horrible features Of Wednesday night. Whatever
might happen IN the way Of a storm in Ncw-York,
the city would still be well lighted. In the beginning
of the underground controversy the electric lighting
companies Of the country fought against burying
their wires, but In every case where they were
forced to do they found within year II was far
better In every point TO have the wires buried. IL
adds certainly TO the investment account, but the
saving In repairs than the interest on the
additional investment. L venture to predict that
within a year the city OF st. Louis Will take this
subject up In earnest and II seems 10 me that every
city In the United States should do 80 as soon as

Mayor Strong and the heads Of departments IN

yesterday for the stricken people OF ST. LOUIS
and other afflicted communities in the track OF
the destructive tornado Of Wednesday evening
The Mayor said that IL there was need OF reilei
the citizens of New-York would be among the
first to respond to the call for material aid.
For the purpose Of ascertaining If relief fund
ought to be started. Mayor Strong sent this teie-
gram yesterday afternoon
City Of New;York. g once e, Of The he Mayor
Can we Do anything to assist you in taking care
OF the unforunates in this terriSie ,tavor
The message was only accepted by the tele-
graph company subject to delay. owing 10 the
condition of the wires in the Western states.
Up to the time OF leaving the City Hall for the
day the Mayor had not received a reply from the
Mayor Of ST. Louis. AS soon as Colonel Strong
ts made aware that relief Is needed for the West
ern sufferers. he will call meeting of represen-
tative citizens of New-York City in the Gov
ernors Room Of the City Hall. AS has been Gus
tomary In previous cases. notably that OF the
YOUNGSTOWN disaster Of 1889, committee will
probably be appointed to receive contributions
and forward them to the officials Of the cities
and towns visited by the terrible calamity.
There was great excitement around some or
the hotels yesterday. a large number OF ST.
Louis people are now in the city, and they had
no way Of ascertaining just how much the city
had been damaged. or Of getting any list OF the
injured except what they read in the news
papers All trains going West within the next
twenty-four hours are pretty sure to carry
heavy list of passengers. as the crippled wire
service makes it impossible to get any news and
II seems best to those who are worried to start
home instead of waiting In suspense.
There We're numerous inquiries around the
hotels as TO the best way to place money for re-
lief purposes Men sat around the hotels and
recalled the Johnstown disaster the Louisville
tornado and othec calamites and also the relief
work that was done at those times. There was
no way of ascertaining just what was 10 be done
In the way of relief and 50 the gifts that were
ready could not be handed over, but ii is assured
that when the proper authorities are designated
this city will contribute literally to the fund.
The prompt announcement Is made that
benefft will be given for the sufferers from the
or the afternoon Of Saturday, June g. There
will be a performance continuing from noon till

announced but the object cannot fall to enlist
the services OF the best entertainers who are In
