DAIRY.

DALEY.
Nine times out OF ten when the milk
is not good the trouble is local matter
traceable to the care of the COW or the
milk. Ropy, blue or stringy milk is due
to atmospheric causes. where the air
has become infected with the invisible
horde of spores, due to unclean or un-
tidy stables, and can be remedied
promptly and wholly.
Care for the COW at calving time, or
she will be proftless the rest of the sea-
son; also, put little oil meal or oatmeal
in the milk for the calves, to keep them
plump, and see that they do not gorge
themselves; and remember that the calf
makes the COW.
No luck, no cooperative effort can
have any effect upon the milk which
the COW gives, nor upon the cost of feed
ing, nor thoroughness in the dairy, nor
upon the quantity of the product. All
depends upon the COW and the man.
Even a good COW with thick headed
owner does not amount to much.
The advantages to be derived from
the use Of a separator are not confined
to the simple fact that the butter maker
gets all the cream or butter fat there is
in the milk, but he gets it at once, and
has the sweet milk left to feed the calves
and pigs while it is fresh, and the
women are saved deal Of bother, time
and drudgery.
Many diaries are kept which do not
produce $50 pounds of butter to the COW,
The farmer who keeps a half dozen
cows which make during the year an
average of 300 pounds has pretty coed
thing, even il he does call it side issue.
Count it up at 20 cents pound, and do
not forget the skim milk and butter
milk as by products.
Nervousness and viciousness are en-
gendered in the illtreated COW, and are
transmitted to her offspring. The more
docile the COW, the more are her ener-
gies likely to be devoted to the dairy
mans interests. We cannot be too
watchful over irresponsible help. who
hesitates not to beat, hurry or brighten
COWS.
II your dairy is not of the best, buy at
once thoroughbred bull of the kind
you esteem most. and you cannot do
better than to get Jersey; and your
heifer calves will be great improve
ment upon their mothers, and your
herd will soon grow to be as good for
practical purposes as thoroughbreds.
Neither the grocer nor the commission
house ever pays encouraging prices for
butter. 1t will pay the dairyman Of
smaller degree to put up his products in
the most attractive way, and sell it by
making visitation from house to house
and build up for himself a regular class
Of customers.
Cows Craze but little at night, and in
the early spring the ground is far from
warm and comfortable for them. and
many caked and infamed udder is the
result. There is nothing gained by vic.
lent changes of any kind; ali changes
of food or care should be accomplished
by gradual approaches.
In addition to corn meal, the COW
needs some OF the more heterogeneous
substances in her feed. A combination
OF corn meal. gluten and cotton seed meal
gives much better results than the for
mer only. By experiment. it will make
one-third more milk in quantity and
much in richness.

MY LITTLE CORNSTALK FIDDLE.

Long years ago band of boys
Marched up and down our little street,
With paper plumes and needless noise.
And thought their din was music sweet.
When horns and drums, resounding toys,
Marked the quick time for tireless feet;
When gilded trumpets gayly played,
And lost the tune beyond recall
My little cornstalk fiddle made
The clearest, sweetest sound of all.
Since that far day. IN other lands,
My soul has thrilled at mpsic's flow,
As spake the harp meath master hands,
As quiveriDg viol answered hoWi
As rose the swell of famed bands
Or mighty organs tremolo,
Yet when these strains, as loved strains WILL
Return at musing memory's call,
NV little cornstalk fiddle still
sounds dearer. sweeter than them ALL

SMALL SAVINGS.
A Lesson in Economy.


T DON'T see how Holmes does it"
said John Stetson, with puzzled
expression.
"Does what7" asked his wife, look

"Why, save so much money from

"Then he does save, does hes"
"You know the half-acre lot ad-

"Well, he has just bought it for
hundred dollars, and paid for it out
of money saved from his salary this
year"
Glow does his salary compare with
yourss"
HE has only seven hundred dol
lars a year, while l have eight. Then
our families are the same; we each OF
us have two children"
"Yet I am afraid you don't save
nearly that amount"
"No, l guess not. The fact is, if L
find myself square at the end of the
year, think myself lucky"
"And yet, john" said his wife,
gravely, ct seems as if we ought to
lay by something"
cts easy enough to say that, but
the question is, how are you going to
do it? There's Mary's music lessons
at ten dollars quarter. That's the
only way l can think of, and | should

''No, of course not; but isn't there

Pooh they would make precious
little difference at the end of the
year."
"You know there's an old proverb:
MANY little makes a mickle.'"
"Pshaw l hate old proverbs. Be-
sides, these little things are really of
very little account. A man doesn't
feel the sum he pays out, and if it
doesn't go in one way, it would in
another"
"How many cigars do you smoke
day." pursued his wife.
"Three."
Sand how much do you pay for
them2"
"Five cents apiece"
"That would make fifteen cents"
"And what's fifteen cents2"
''Not much in itself, but multiplied
by a large number, it amounts to
something"
"What are you driving at, wife,"

to you"
81 am all attention"
"You say you don't mind few
cents day"
"Of course not"
"Then l propose that we get a
small box, with a slit in the lid, just
like the children's tin saving boxes,
only larger; and that for every cent
you spend for cigars, ice-cream, thea
tres or any such little luxuries, you
deposit an equal sum in the box"
John Stetson laughed.

QUESTION OF DITUuEs.

Funeral shades of cholera days and
returning unwholesome surroundings
rose before some of the residents OF
Nuuanu Valley when they learned yes
terday of the decree ordering the re-
opening of the irrigating ditch which
was closed during the cholera scare
This ditch has been the cause of no
end OF trouble among residents on the
Eva side of Nuuanu street, and al
though they delayed in filing it, they
now have good reason to be up in arms
against opening it again. We do not
bring into question the legality of the
decision made by the Commissioners of
Water Rights, but we do question the
right of the Board of Health to allow
the resurrection of this ditch that only
twelve months since was declared not
only a public nuisance but menace
to public health
What the public is interested in is
TO know whether the Board, after
twelve months rest after the cholera
scourge, are now prepared to allow all
the cesspools and disease breeding
spots to relapse into the old condition.
The Government can well afford to
supply irrigating water from the street
mains free of charge, rather than open
up any streams, pools or bitches IN
which there is little enough water at
any time and for a good portion of the
year are contaminated with house re
fuse which gathers along the sides
and is left to steam and rot under the
hot sun The time has gone by. when
Honolulu and Nuuanu Valley in par
ticular, is a nest of taro patches, and
with so much natural moisture and no
drainage system, irrigating bitches
ought to be wiped out of existence.
On the Waikiki side of Nuuanu street
there is now a ditch that is nothing
more or less than a disgrace to the
town. In the rainy season the water
rolls its sluggish way through taro and
rice fields, then forms a brook which
runs under various kitchens and is
+. finally dumped into Nuuanu stream.
In the dry season there is little or
no water in the brook, and the kitchen
refuse or whatever other organic mat
ter may have gathered is left to bake
and cause sickness of multifariOus
forms that might be designated
by the medical association. In this
city honeycombed with cesspOols it
ought to be the object of the Board OF
Health to keep the surface as free
from malariaI breeding spots as pos
sible

+ the American Catholics in 1885 urged
I his people TO do everything in their
power to change the constitution of
the states in accordance with the prin-
ciples of the true church"
/ Having cited the above and many
other instances of attempts on the part
of the clergy to influence political
faith, the part actually taken in poll
| tics is reviewed as follows:
In many of the larger cities the
Catholics already decide the elections,
as in New York, where Tammany Hall
is the gathering ground for the Cath
Ole Irish. Claudio Jannet, Professor
of Social Economy at the Catholic In
stitute Of Paris, declares that the
Church has made itself felt as the
/ balance of power to the American
politician. He predicts that the Church
will be called to lead in the admins
tration of the country during the TWEEN
tieth century, at the instance of the
people themselves. Those who doubt
this need only glance at South America
where the United States of Columbia
presents in case in point Under the
influence of his strictly Catholic wife
President Urmez turned over all the
schools, seminaries, all the charity or
CARNATIONS, hospitals, museums, and
libraries of the country to the Catholic
hierarchy. The Liberals fought for
their rights, but were beaten during
the civil war which last four years.
The United States, too, will have to
face the question whether Rome or
Liberalism should rule. Who will be
the victor it is impossible to determine.
| This much, however, is certain; the
struggle will cost tremendous sacri-
fees and it will endanger the existence

ONE SIDE OF PRIESTS AND PO.
IITICS.

There seems to be a mania among
European journals of late for predict
ing that the United States is going to
the bowows through various and devil
Gus pathways. In a late issue of the
Konische Zeitung, Cologne, consider
able space is given to the power of the
Catholic church in the body polite of
the American Republic, and that power
and influence is designated as one of
the greatest dangers to free institu-
tions.
The writer starts out with the words
of Lafayette: IF ever the freedom
of the American people is destroyed
it will be at the hands of the Roman
priesthood, and then goes on to dem
onstrate that while the priests of to-
day deny any desire to influence the
Government their power is we'll known
in European countries and it cannot
be very much different in the States
where the members of the church are
taught that the commands of Rome
should be obeyed before the laws of
the country. In support of this he
quotes in cannonic law issued in Bal
timore in 1886 which says, AN oath
need not be kept if it is pointed against
the interests of the Roman Catholic
Church promise of this kind is not
to be considered as an OATH" Again
Bishop Gilmour of Cleveland wrote in
1873, I'VE must learn to be Catholics
first and citizens next" Plus * in

take to believe that in a conflict be-
tween Church and State the decision
